While Lin Feng was evolving, Tony had already begun the Symbiote Legion experiment on Blue Star.
Stinger was Venom's offspring. By all reasonable logic, the offspring he produced should have been even stronger.
Just like in the movies, Venom's offspring were far more powerful than he was.
But there was one issue: Venom was so powerful because he had devoured countless members of his own kind and possessed a trace of his ancestor's bloodline—the small portion of tissue left behind by the God of Symbiotes.
This bloodline was akin to a permanent buff.
It would manifest more weakly in the next generation, not more strongly.
An ancestor's bloodline could only be diluted unless more of it was found.
Therefore, although Stinger's offspring left ordinary Symbiotes far behind, they still could not compare to Stinger.
The way Symbiotes produced offspring was very simple.
As long as an extremely small portion of their tissue split off, survived, and entered a human body, there was a very high chance that it would become a new Symbiote.
Tony first arranged for Happy to receive the first batch of Symbiote tissue.
Choosing Happy had not been without consideration.
In the past, Happy had been Tony's driver and bodyguard, though this bodyguard had been a little too weak...
But although Happy was broad-minded and heavyset, he also had the heart of a superhero.
What man did not want to pursue power?
That was clear enough from the fact that Happy idolized Lin Feng.
The cost was merely being parasitized by a black Symbiote, and one with no side effects at that.
Besides, Tony himself had a Symbiote. After some mental preparation, Happy no longer hesitated and accepted Tony's experiment.
Honestly, when an opportunity to become "Superman" was right in front of you, missing it would leave
