American Comics: The Matrix

Chapter 535 Peter: Someone paid me to frame me? That person must be the big villain!
Ben Crazy's hijacking of the Guardians of the Galaxy's ship was a recent event, but Jameson's son's incident occurred two weeks prior.

"It's an experiment with a warp drive."

Norman Osborne handed the documents to Bant and explained what had happened.

Although the Earth branch of the Tian Gong Association holds a special position, Bant does not act as a dictator on Earth. Generally speaking, he still respects the technological development of each country.

The plumber was only responsible for managing the extraordinary cases.

The warp drive, on the other hand, is a theoretically capable engine that can reach faster-than-light speeds, just like the engines of the Tetsomans.

"During the initial warp drive experiment, the drone discovered a planet very similar to Earth, which, barring any unforeseen circumstances, is suitable for colonization."

Norman said.

The Heavenly Association is also aware of this matter.

However, a small inhabited planet was a trivial matter in the Tian Gong guild, and he didn't pay much attention to it at the time.

But for the American government that discovered this planet, this was a matter of great importance concerning "all mankind".

Thus, an exploration plan was decided, and John Jameson, the son of the Daily Bugle's owner, was chosen to be the pilot of the Solaris 1 rocket, a pioneer for Earth's future.

"I know this plot very well."

A distant memory surfaced in Bant's mind.

He also remembered watching a Spider-Man cartoon when he was a child, which was about Spider-Man going to another planet full of animals.

He didn't remember the name, but he remembered that the Spider-Man suit had a dark face and a small cape on the back.

These are all cartoons from my childhood. There was another version about searching for Mary Jane, but it was canceled and never continued. It's quite a pity.

'But in the anime, it seems like Venom and Carnage were the ones causing trouble at the beginning, right?' he wondered.

The Venom in this world has long since become a Venom agent, and Carnage is nonexistent. This exploration shouldn't have gone wrong, right? Or did another Earth directly attack John Jameson?
“They’re mutants,” Norman said.

“A group of mutants learned of this news and secretly plotted to hijack the rocket at the moment of launch, hoping to board the flight, reach the New World, and establish their own mutant nation.”

"Such signs have appeared in such a short time since mutants emerged?" Bant asked in surprise.

It should be noted that the Celestials have been quite tolerant of mutants.

Most of the incidents caused by mutant awakening were resolved by the plumber and Primos's technology, so the original conflict between mutants and ordinary people was not very sharp.

He also established the Mutant Rank Act and set up mutant training camps that allowed people to directly become plumbers after acquiring powers.

Plumbers and electricians enjoy very high benefits, including 200 days of vacation per year. Even the lowest-ranking plumber or electrician earns over $200,000 a year.

They also provide free employee dormitories and various insurances.

There is no medical insurance, because Tiangong will provide free medical services.

Although there is a mutant registration act, he did not create any Sentinel robots to carry out a mass extermination of mutants.

"So there aren't many of them," Norman said helplessly. "You know, most of those awakened mutants are teenagers."

The classmate nodded, indicating that he understood.

It's the second stage of chuunibyou (middle school syndrome).

It was already the most irrational and self-centered period, and then he just happened to awaken superpowers, so no one would think that they weren't the protagonist.

If I've already awakened superpowers, why would I still have to work for you? Wouldn't that mean my awakening was for nothing?

“Now, because of the loss of contact with Solaris I and its connection to mutants, it should fall under the jurisdiction of our Spectre Society,” Norman said.

"Hmm, how about sending Peter, Harry, and Lightning?"

Bant thought for a moment and said, "Peter has already gone."

Bant: ? ? ?
"The launch of Solaris 1 was broadcast live worldwide, and you forgot that Peter was the photographer for the Daily Bugle? He was there at the time."

"Is he still a photographer?"

Bant's eyes widened.

He thought Peter had long since given up photography, since he wasn't short of money now.

Peter used to work for others because he wanted to be self-reliant. After the Tian Gong Association was established, he became the highest-level plumber and electrician, earning an annual salary of tens of millions.

"I think he really enjoys it."

Norman said.

He even suspected that his nephew might have some kind of alphanumeric personality and enjoy being scolded by Jameson.

"Should I get Venom and Green Goblin to provide support?"

“Let me think,” Bant said, stroking his chin, “let’s add a few more members. Let’s include Dr. Connors and Dr. Otto.”

He remembered that the creatures on that planet were all animals, which conveniently led to the two doctors with pseudo-animal totems joining him on his mission.

“If Dr. Dong Wu were here, this would be a suitable planet for him,” Bant thought.

He was referring, of course, to the righteous Dong Wu from the zombie universe.

……

Two weeks ago.

"Drink!"

Peter punched a mutant with metallic skin, turning him into a shrimp-like creature spitting out metal shavings.

Several mutants lay at his feet.

He gently squeezed his wrist, without even changing his transformation.

"Are you kidding me? With this little skill, you think you can go against the Heavenly Craftsmen's Guild?" he said incredulously.

No one paid him any attention because he had been using the watch to transform too many times lately and seemed to have become somewhat dependent on it. He lacked control over his power and went a little too far.

These mutants were almost speechless.

"According to the Psychic Confederation's classification of mutant power, you are at most at the gamma level."

Peter dusted off imaginary dust from his hands, tossed a disk onto each of the guys, and then turned and walked toward the control panel.

John Jameson, hiding behind a chair, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Peter had dealt with the enemy.

"Spider-Man, thank you so much for saving me," John said, somewhat ashamed.

His father is Spider-Man's biggest hater. Even after Spider-Man joined the Spectre, he relentlessly spread the "Spider-Man threat" theory, claiming it was Spider-Man's conspiracy to dismantle the Spectre from within.

"You're welcome. If you could get your father to say a few good things about me in the newspapers and media, that would be the best reward for me," Peter said, waving his hand.

“About this…” John scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly and revealed the truth, “Actually, I’ve also wondered why Dad has always been targeting you.” He sat back down in his chair, trying to regain control of the rocket as he spoke.

“What else could it be?” Peter said irritably. “There’s no one in all of New York who hates me more than him. Come on, I’m not weaving a web on your closet.”

"No, there's a mysterious person who's been spending a lot of money asking my dad to smuggle you out."

"what?"
