As he dug downward, he analyzed the various pieces of information Strangle had sent him.
It was more or less as he had guessed. This strange vessel was not actually a ship; only the part exposed above the sea had transformed into that shape.
It was a silicon-based lifeform, definitely not a creature evolved on Earth. Strangle had also found aspects of its bodily structure resembling that of Symbiotes.
As for why people could not see it, it was not because it possessed some extraordinary ability, but because people of this era could not understand what optical invisibility was.
This was a technology humanity was only supposed to master decades later. By altering the angle at which light reflected off an object's surface, it could achieve invisibility in visible-light environments.
There would also be someone in the future Marvel Universe skilled in invisibility technology: John Morley, codenamed "Ghost." He invented a suit of optical camouflage armor and used it for petty theft.
Stealing corporate intelligence, robbing vault safes, swiping electric vehicle batteries—things like that to make a living.
Strictly speaking, a thief was not some particularly vicious villain in a world like Marvel. But because his combat ability was lacking while he possessed equipment everyone else coveted, the outcome was obvious.
He vanished without a trace. His technology and equipment fell into S.H.I.E.L.D.'s hands and became the "Ghost" project, intended to mass-produce invisible combat suits.
Unfortunately, without John, the person put in charge of the project was Bill Foster, a thick-lipped Black man and one of Doctor Pym's lackeys.
He was a biologist who had originally helped Pym raise ants.
Later, Pym fell out with S.H.I.E.L.D., and Bill took over. But asking him to research physics was like forcing a duck onto a perch. After several repairs, the prototype invisibility
