Marvel: Starting with the 01 System

Inside a large, secret experimental base on the outskirts of New York City.

An elderly man who looked to be around 60 to 70 years old walked to the laboratory. His face was sharp and piercing, like an eagle, yet he also possessed a polite and courteous demeanor, just like a gentleman.

"How are the genetic modification experiments going, Dr. Moss?" he asked a thin, middle-aged man.

"Mr. Fils, the genetically modified animal experiments have been very successful. Human trials can now begin," Dr. Moss said softly, somewhat afraid of the old man before him.

This old man has lived from the 1930s to the present day, experienced major historical events, and even had a cooperative relationship with Red Skull, the famous nemesis of Captain America during World War II.

He is the villain hidden behind the scenes—"Gentleman" Gustave Fils.

Gustav spent his entire life researching how to create the perfect Captain America serum.

He had worked very closely with Norman Osborn, and was involved in the appearance of the Lizard Man in New York City.

Now that Norman Osborn is dead, Gustav has assembled a new team to conduct the research.

This includes the creation of exoskeletons and mechanical armor, as well as experiments on genetically modified animals.

……

Inside the Osborne Group building on the other side.

After a full day and night of labor, Harry and Max stopped.

On the one hand, ten Humagears have been produced so far, and on the other hand, the materials here are running low, so more materials are needed.

“Max, my friend, you’ve worked hard. Go back and rest now.” Harry gently patted Max on the shoulder.

"No, it's alright, Mr. Osborne."

“I’m not tired, I can still work.” Max was very excited; it was the first time he had met someone who valued him so much.

It was also the first time he had met someone who considered him a friend.

Even Spider-Man couldn't do that.

"Go and get some rest, my friend. I'll throw you a celebration party tonight. You're the most important person in the company, so don't be late."

In his previous life, he was a corporate slave, and he even believed that if he wanted his employees to be motivated, they needed plenty of food and rations.

The ability to make grand promises is a fundamental skill for a qualified CEO.

"Thank you, my friend!" Max excitedly hugged Harry tightly.

Then, turning back every three steps, he left reluctantly.

"Ring ring~"

Just as Max left, a phone call came in, and Harry took out his phone.

"Who?"

"It's me, Mr. Osborn. The military has called a shareholders' meeting with the other shareholders and they need your assistance." The caller was Harry's secretary, who was actually very loyal to the Osborn Group, but Harry didn't trust him.

However, that's not important right now; what's important is the shareholders' meeting.

“Military personnel? Okay, I’ll be right there. Have them wait for me in the conference room on the top floor of the Osborne Group building.”

The arrival of military personnel is just the right time to proceed with the next step of the plan. Harry has a series of plans for the future, and cooperation with the military is a necessary part of that.

Osborne Group, rooftop conference room.

The military personnel were seated in the guest seats, while the other shareholders were already present.

However, the seat that belonged to Vice President Connor is now empty, because Connor is dead.

“As soon as Harry Osborne took office, Vice President Connor disappeared. It’s hard to say that he has nothing to do with it,” one shareholder said.

"I don't care whether the vice president or anyone else lives or dies. On behalf of General Ross, I only care about the results from the gene lab." The military representative who came was Colonel Cameron, representing General Ross.

"Captain America's super soldier enhancement program has yet to make a breakthrough. The military started investing in it ten years ago, and now that Norman Osborn is dead, General Ross is very concerned about whether the program can continue and whether it can make any progress!"

"Hello, Colonel from the military." Harry walked in from outside, followed by ten Humagears.

“I am Harry Osborn,” Harry said as he sat down in the head seat of the president's office.

"Colonel, I'd like to speak with General Ross personally about your question."

"General Ross is very busy and doesn't have time to play children's games with you."

"Colonel, I advise you to consult General Ross first, because you have no say in what happens next."

Upon hearing this, Colonel Carman didn't waste any words and immediately began contacting General Ross. As a soldier, he knew very well that if something was important, he should contact his superior first.

"General, the new president of the Osborn Group has something important to discuss with you."

"Hello, General Ross."

Because it was on speakerphone, Harry was able to talk to it.

"What is it, Osborne brat?"

Harry wasn't angry at all, and replied with a smile, "Would it be convenient to make a virtual video call?"

Virtual video calling is a technology that many large companies, governments, and the military are using to facilitate meetings.

Once in use, General Ross will project the scene and be able to see everything on the ground.

"Then let's see what important business you have. If it's just bluffing, you know the consequences." General Ross was in a bad mood lately because he had failed to catch the Hulk multiple times.

The virtual projection was quickly activated, and General Ross appeared on the scene as if he were there in person.

"General Ross, the Super Soldier program has failed countless times since Captain America's time, and the military has never been able to replicate it. In my opinion, the Super Soldier program is outdated."

“I have a better alternative – the artificial intelligence robot Humagear.”
