Was a hundred million dollars expensive?
Yes!!
It was an eye-watering sum, but given the technology packed into Yang Bo's car, if the world of The Amazing Spider-Man could develop it for ten trillion dollars, every country on Earth would surely sell everything it owned to fund the research.
Without investing tens of billions, they probably wouldn't even scratch the surface of its instant invisibility capability alone.
