The Mutant God in American Comics.

Chapter 244 Poaching

Without much effort, Richard found the information he wanted to know in Betty's mind.

Just as he remembered, Betty and Banner had been a loving couple.

They are both professors in the Department of Biotechnology at Culver University, and both are passionate about gamma ray research.

One day a few years ago, Betty's father, General Ross, found them and hoped that they would study ways to resist gamma radiation.

Banner and Betty did not refuse and agreed immediately.

They had a strong interest in gamma rays, and General Ross provided them with sufficient research funds.

With interesting research projects and ample research funding, they couldn't think of any reason to refuse.

It is worth mentioning that at that time, the relationship between Betty and General Ross did not deteriorate, and the father-daughter relationship was very harmonious.

With the research funds provided by General Ross, Betty and Banner immediately began research on "anti-gamma ray radiation".

At that time, they did not know that what General Ross really wanted was not a method to "resist gamma-ray radiation", but a method to use gamma rays to enhance the physical fitness of soldiers and create super soldiers.

As early as World War II, the U.S. military had a similar super soldier program.

Captain America was a product of that time.

Because of Hydra, the inventor of the Super Soldier Serum, Dr. Abraham Erskine, died at the hands of Hydra, resulting in the military not getting the Super Soldier Serum they wanted.

Although Dr. Abraham Erskine died, the military never gave up on restoring the formula for the Super Soldier Serum.

In order to restore the formula of the serum, they drew a lot of blood from Captain America.

Even with the blood provided by Captain America, the military still failed to restore the formula of the super soldier serum.

After discovering that restoring the serum formula was more difficult than expected, the military tried a different approach.

They no longer focused on the Super Soldier Serum invented by Dr. Abraham Erskine, but instead started other Super Soldier projects, trying to create a super soldier stronger than Captain America.

General Ross is the head of one of the super soldier programs.

In order to create a super soldier stronger than Captain America, he came up with the idea of ​​using gamma rays.

Although he is not a scientist, he does not need to understand specific research and development, he just needs to give orders.

So he found Betty and Banner, and using the excuse of "resisting gamma ray radiation", he asked them to start studying the impact of gamma rays on the human body.

After a period of research, Banner and Betty's experiment made some progress.

Although it was still in its preliminary stages and had not yet reached the stage for large-scale use, the confident Banner conducted human experiments without permission.

The target of the experiment was himself.

What happened next was very simple. Banner turned into the Hulk due to the influence of gamma rays and hurt Betty and General Ross when he lost control.

Afterwards, Banner, who knew the truth, began his career as a fugitive.

Of course, General Ross would not watch him escape, so he sent a team to capture him.

And this pursuit lasted for several years.

Because General Ross concealed the real purpose of the experiment and sent people to arrest her boyfriend, Betty had a big fight with General Ross, and the father and daughter fell out completely.

After Banner's whereabouts became unknown, General Ross had all the information taken away, arranged for someone else to take over the gamma ray experiment, and sent people to arrest Banner.

As for Betty, she stayed at Culver University as a professor in the Department of Biotechnology.

Although she hasn't received any news related to Banner for several years, Betty still hasn't let go of him and has fantasized about Banner's return more than once.

After browsing Betty's memory, Richard stopped using telepathy.

After thinking about it, he decided to go ahead with the original plan.

His plan is simple.

First, let "Mr. Blue" Samuel Stern trick Banner back to New York.

Second, snatch Betty away, completely enrage Banner, and then fight with the angry Hulk.

Although the Hulk in an angry state could not be his opponent, since he was already here, it would be unreasonable not to fight with the Hulk.

After deciding to continue with the original plan, he teleported away from Culver University.

There were still a few hours before school was over, and he didn't intend to sit here and wait.

In the meantime, he plans to do something else.

For example, go to the Pentagon to read General Ross's memory and see how far the gamma ray experiment has progressed after being taken over by others.

In just a moment, he who was sitting on the bench disappeared, as if he had never appeared.

The Pentagon is not very far from Culver University.

Richard arrived above the Pentagon in an instant.

He floated tens of thousands of meters in the air, using his super vision and telepathy.

It didn't take much effort for him to find General Ross.

Although the Pentagon is the office building of the U.S. Department of Defense, there are not many generals in it.

More than half of the generals were sent to foreign military bases.

After finding General Ross, Richard did not hesitate at all. He immediately locked onto General Ross with telepathy and began to read his memory.

Soon, he was browsing General Ross's memories.

Although several years have passed, progress on gamma ray experiments came to a halt after Banner began his escape.

General Ross found a number of scientists to take over the experiments, but none of these scientists were able to use the information left by Banner to further improve the experiments.

Not to mention further improvement, even reproducing Banner's experiment at that time became a problem.

General Ross would never have imagined that Banner was able to survive the gamma ray radiation and gain the ability to transform into the Hulk, and it was not just the gamma ray radiation that caused Banner's mutation.

To put it simply, becoming the Hulk is Banner's destiny.

Even if General Ross perfectly reproduced the experiment, it would be impossible for a second Hulk to be born.

In the latest setting of the comics, Hulk's origin changed from the mutation of gamma ray radiation to the influence of gamma force.

However, it is highly unlikely that Gamma Force and "Under Everything" will appear in the movie universe.

Otherwise, this would not be a movie universe, but a comic universe.

After browsing General Ross's memory, Richard had no intention of going down to meet him. He directly used teleportation to leave and returned to the vicinity of Culver University.

……

time flies.

A week passed in the blink of an eye.

During this week, apart from returning to Los Angeles to see Wanda and Pietro, Richard did the most thing, which was to pick up girls.

In other words, they are trying to steal Banner's talent.

Although Betty still misses Banner, Banner has been missing for several years anyway.

Even without any superpowers, Richard can easily win Betty's favor with just his good looks and eloquence.

In just one week, his relationship with Betty upgraded from complete strangers to good friends who could talk about anything.

Although we haven't developed to the point where we can play cards together, it's not far away.

Culver University.

Richard sat on the bench in front of the Biotechnology Department building, waiting for Betty to get off work.

After spending some time together, he found that Betty was a very attractive woman.

Although Betty's appearance is not particularly stunning, she can still be considered a beauty.

Coupled with her 170 cm tall figure and the intellectual charm of a mature woman, she is very popular at Culver University.

Not only do her students like her classes very much, but many male teachers in the school also have a great interest in her.

Despite the advantage of being close to her, none of the male teachers at Culver University could win her heart.

In the movie, after Banner left, Betty got a new boyfriend, a psychiatrist.

But here, maybe because the timeline hasn't arrived yet, Betty is still single.

Richard didn't have to wait long before the school bell rang. Not long after, Betty, wearing a dress, came out of the teaching building of the Department of Biotechnology with several other colleagues, chatting and laughing.

After seeing Richard, Betty immediately showed a surprised expression, quickly came to him, and said to him: "Why are you here?"

"I just happened to be free, so I came over to ask if you have time to have dinner together tonight?"

Richard said to Betty.

"Of course."

Betty replied immediately.

"Then let's go together."

Richard continued.

"Uh-huh."

Betty nodded.

After leaving Culver University, Richard did not immediately take Betty to the restaurant.

It's still early, not yet dinner time.

In addition, Betty, who had been in class for a day, also planned to go home and change her clothes.

Richard didn't mind giving Betty a ride home, so he drove the BMW he had bought towards Betty's house.

Betty's residence was not far from Culver University.

It only took more than ten minutes to drive to Betty's place.

"Would you like to come in for a cup of coffee?"

Betty asked Richard.

"it is good."

Richard replied with a smile.

Although he and Betty became good friends who could talk about anything, he had never been to Betty's house before.

After arriving in the living room, Betty put her bag on the sofa and asked Richard, "Do you want sugar and milk?"

“Less sugar, more milk.”

Richard replied.

"Well, sit wherever you like."

After saying that, Betty turned and walked towards the kitchen.

Richard first looked around the living room before sitting down on the sofa.

Although Betty's father is a three-star general in the Army, the house where Betty lives now is not very luxurious.

To be more precise, it is very ordinary.

Not long after, Betty returned to the living room with two cups of steaming coffee and handed one to Richard.

"Thank you."

Richard took the coffee handed to him by Betty and spoke slowly.

"You are welcome."

Betty replied immediately.

After sitting and chatting for five or six minutes, Betty got up and left the living room, walking towards the bedroom to change her clothes.

As soon as Betty left, the cell phone in Richard's pocket vibrated.

Without any hesitation, Richard took out his cell phone.

Then a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

Banner is back!
The person who sent him the message was none other than Dr. Samuel Stern.

Just a few minutes ago, Dr. Sten received an email from "Mr. Green" saying that he had returned to New York and asked him for the specific time and place of the meeting.

Dr. Stern had originally planned to invite Banner to meet at Kebang College.

But after thinking about it, he felt that it would be better to let Richard determine the time and place of the meeting.

After all, it was Richard who asked him to trick Banner back.

After reading the text message from Dr. Stern, Richard immediately replied to him with a message.

"Have him meet in your office at noon three days later."

Less than ten seconds after he sent the message, Dr. Stern replied.

"Got it. I'll email him right away."

After reading the message, Richard put the phone back into his pocket.

A few minutes later.

Betty, wearing a light green dress, returned to the living room.

Although the light green dress Betty is wearing now is not particularly sexy and does not have a deep V or backless design, it still shows off her figure perfectly.

After seeing the light green dress Betty was wearing, Richard said to her, "The dress looks great."

"Thank you."

Betty smiled brightly and replied quickly.

They first sat in the living room and chatted for about ten or twenty minutes, then drove to the commercial center in the city.

After spending more than half an hour wandering around the commercial center like a couple, they finally arrived at the restaurant with the reservation number.

Richard has made a reservation at a French restaurant tonight.

Although it is not a Michelin three-star restaurant, it has quite a reputation.

With the elegant environment and delicious dishes, Richard and Betty chatted and laughed while enjoying the dinner in front of them.

After eating and drinking, Richard drove Betty back home.

"Um...would you like to come in and sit for a while?"

Betty suddenly spoke up.

Although they had known each other for a short time, only a week, Betty had an extremely happy time during that week and developed a strong liking for Richard.

After hearing Betty's words, Richard replied without any hesitation: "Okay."

As an experienced adult male, he immediately understood the subtext of Betty's words.

Apparently Betty had entertained the idea of ​​playing cards with him tonight.

After answering Betty, Richard drove the car to the garage behind Betty's house.

Just as he understood the subtext in Betty's words, Betty also understood what he meant after seeing him drive the car into the garage.

After entering the living room on the first floor from the garage, Betty turned around, hugged Richard, and gave him a passionate kiss.

No extra words were needed, as they immediately started a fierce card game after only knowing each other for a week.

Soon, sounds inappropriate for children were heard in the house.

More than an hour later.

Bedrooms on the second floor.

Betty, with a flushed face, lay beside Richard, looking at him lovingly.

As for Richard, he stretched out his right hand and moved it restlessly around Betty's body.

For Betty, the game of cards just now was very intense.

But for Richard, it was not intense at all.

With his current physical attributes, let alone an hour, even if he fought for a week at a time, there would be no problem.
