I'm working on Marvel's Spider-Man in American comics.

Chapter 128 Startling the "Snake"

Peter didn't concern himself with these details; he simply used an electron microscope to image the blood samples after centrifugation onto a computer and compared the non-human and human genomes. Since the super-soldier serum essentially becomes part of the human genome, the difficulty of this gene comparison was significantly reduced.

"By comparing different mutated gene targets, we can find out which of Luke's genes, like Captain America's, can bind to the Erkins serum, I mean the original super soldier serum."

"and then?"

Watching Spider-Man busily working, Jessica asked a question, and Peter gave a simple answer: "The principle of the Super Soldier Serum is to activate the reverse transcriptase and reverse transducer in the Super Soldier Serum injected into the subject's body through irradiation with Vita Rays. This reverses the protein components in the serum into RNA or DNA sequences that can adapt to the subject's gene sequence and participate in the subsequent cell division and replication process."

"So if Luke and Captain America were able to receive the Super Soldier Serum injection because of a specific genome, or at least that's what Hydra believes, then we have a clue. By extracting DNA fragments from genomes that don't belong to normal humans, we can compare them to matching fragments and then..."

Jessica looked at Daredevil helplessly: "I don't understand a word of it."

"Then just do as we're told. Are you ready, Cage? We need to get going." Daredevil was simply following the plan. To be honest, being here in broad daylight was a bit unusual for him, but there was no other way. This matter was indeed urgent, and even Peter had taken a day off to deal with it.

There's nothing Luke Cage can do about the lab stuff now, so they're going to carry out another plan: to stir things up and alert the enemy, while Spider-Man takes over this task.

At the same time, a satellite phone rang. This satellite phone was connected to the Fantastic Four's own satellite, the communication channel of the world's smartest people. Peter borrowed it for a while, which should be able to evade Hydra's surveillance to the greatest extent possible.

On the other end of the phone was Black Cat, who had already infiltrated the hospital. She was sitting in front of the computer with her legs crossed, waving the satellite phone in her hand.

"Anything gained?"

"Of course, according to the clues sent back by our detective friends, the church hospital that Tandy Bowen frequents is indeed problematic. All the blood samples from the patients at this hospital are sent to one of the laboratories for testing, and the purpose of the testing is unclear." Black Cat typed on the keyboard, easily breaching the hospital's unreliable system and searching for potential targets: "Let's lock in patients under forty years old, without hereditary diseases, no history of drug addiction, and no disabilities. There are still quite a few."

Because of the American healthcare system, most doctors are family doctors, and they have complete medical histories for each of their patients, so information gathering is actually very convenient.

"Did you bring the program I sent you? Search for keywords on social media to see if there are any missing persons or other reports?"

According to Jessica Jones, Tandy Bowen's disappearance occurred just hours after Luke Cage's escape, and knowing that she was "Dagger" allowed Peter to boldly predict that she was also one of Hydra's experimental subjects. Black Cat, as a skilled thief, was naturally the best person to do this job.

“I joined the detective agency two years before you, so I know better than you how a detective should work. We've found three people who fit the criteria. Tandy Bowen is one, and the other two are…” Peter noted down the names and addresses of these two people, then handed the documents to Jessica. Giving this kind of information to a professional detective was naturally the simplest thing to do. As for the more basic genomic information, even if Peter knew it, he couldn't possibly compare it extensively with the hospital's database; that would only expose himself.

All of this preparation is necessary, since the next step is to stir up trouble and alert the enemy.

Luke Cage was the one who stirred up trouble.

In an attempt to lure Hydra out, Luke suggested that he directly sue the US government to attract Hydra's attention. However, Matt proposed a better option: to make Luke a superhero, or at least a temporary one, which would improve his public image and public perception.

Even in the future, the impressions that a victim of human experimentation by the U.S. military and someone who, despite undergoing inhumane human experimentation, still chooses to become a hero will be completely different in the courtroom.

As for where he, a super soldier, could get his hands dirty, all that's to say is that with Kingpin in prison, New York City is rife with all sorts of gang warfare.

Inside a Manhattan apartment building, a fierce gunfight was raging. The sheriff in charge had cordoned off the area but hadn't taken any action. He leisurely sipped his coffee, listening to the gunfire. A gang war was raging, with two factions vying for control of the building.

What business is it of his that there's a gang fight going on here? Neither side is Kingpin's, so there's no need for him to get involved. He can just wait until they're done fighting and the police are cleaning up the mess.

A mother knelt beside the sheriff, pleading desperately, "My child is still inside! You can't just stand by and watch!"

“I’m sorry, ma’am, but I have to be responsible for the safety of my officers.” The sheriff sipped his coffee and shook his head. “If you really care about your children’s safety, you should choose a safer neighborhood instead of living with these gangsters.”

The gunfire inside gradually subsided, as if the battle was about to end. The sheriff put down his coffee, preparing to go in and collect the bodies of the gang members and the woman's child. Suddenly, a third-floor window shattered, and two gang members were thrown out, crashing into a police car. Then, the sheriff stared in disbelief as a muscular, bald Black man, carrying a young boy, leaped from the third-floor window. His white vest was riddled with bullet holes, but he himself was unharmed.

The man walked up to the sheriff and handed the child he was holding to the woman. The woman was extremely grateful and asked the sheriff's name.

Seemingly hesitant for a moment, Luke didn't even utter his current fake name.

“My name is Power Man, madam.”
