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

Chapter 275 Bilibili!

November 19, 2012, was an ordinary Monday.

The 57th presidential election has entered its most exciting phase. According to polls, the Democratic presidential candidate who advocates supporting superheroes, encouraging superhumans to become superheroes, and assisting in the fight against superpowered crimes, will be re-elected. This means that the general environment in the United States will remain favorable to superheroes for the next four years, at least the government will not choose to pass the superhero registration bill demanded by hardliners such as General Ross.

The biggest news these past two days has focused on two things. One is that the American Avengers have made a high-profile announcement that Ares, the god of war from Greek mythology, and Carol Danvers, the U.S. Air Force colonel who has gained superpowers, have joined the American Avengers. This team, which has accomplished nothing in the symbiote crisis, has finally received a powerful boost.

Another incident was the Baxter Tower bombing two days ago. After discussion, the Fantastic Four and the Avengers chose to keep the news under wraps, only releasing obituaries for security personnel and attributing everything to an experimental accident caused by Reed Richards. (In fact, that wasn't entirely wrong.) Meanwhile, Mr. Fantastic announced that he would be suspending some dangerous scientific research work again, causing scientists around the world who were hoping to get free access to such projects to sigh in despair.

Apart from that, everything is as usual.

Peter doesn't need to handle the affairs of the wasteland universe, nor does he need to worry about Daken and X-23, whom he brought back from Earth 12101. The wasteland universe has its own Old Wolf, and its own Daken and Laura have died. Daken and X-23 from Earth 12101 have also lost their fathers, so they make a perfect pair.

Peter could even openly use information from the wasteland world to investigate information in this universe. Of course, one cannot assume that villains from other worlds will also be villains in this universe. For example, Craven and the Vulture are not bad people.

Take Sandman Flint, for example. Peter, relying on the Avengers' or S.H.I.E.L.D.'s search system, couldn't find an exact match for him in Universe 616, which is very strange. Other villains also have some discrepancies, and there are people with the same name. Peter is still searching.

After school in the afternoon, he once again made a rare visit to the "Savage Force" project research department of Osborn Technologies to keep an eye on Dr. Connors, who might become the supervillain Lizard Man, and also to take a look at the box of electric eels, as he always felt that this thing had something to do with Electro Man.

"You're here again, Peter?"

Dr. Connors didn't mind Peter coming to visit. After all, Peter was his teacher's orphan and was indeed very smart. Before Peter went to university, Connors had actually considered having Peter inherit his father's career and do research in the field of genetic engineering.

"Yes, I've come to take a look, Doctor."

“You don’t need to be so careful, Peter. The lab’s security is excellent. It’s not like someone might just walk in today, steal something, and become a supervillain.” Dr. Connors thought Peter Parker was being a bit overly anxious, but Peter just smiled. Who knows? What if it actually happened?
"So, Max Dillon isn't an employee of Osborn Corporation, so he shouldn't have any contact with electric eels..."

Peter muttered to himself as he left Osborn Technologies, while Dr. Connors shook his head and continued studying his lizards. It seemed the lizards' abilities had improved again, but unfortunately, the primate experiments still failed. The genes of higher animals were too complex to be broken down into simple, useful segments; this was perhaps why his mentors had chosen spiders.

But where exactly does the problem lie?
Dr. Connors was busy until evening before leaving. He didn't notice that someone had been hiding in the circuit room near the lab. As he was leaving, a man dressed as an electrician knocked Dr. Connors unconscious from behind with a stick, then grabbed his hand and opened the lab door. This was none other than Max Dillon, whom Peter had been longing to see, and sparks were already crackling in his hands. There was no doubt that this man was a superhuman.

“Where…where…”

He searched desperately for what he needed, and then he saw it: an aquarium full of shimmering electric eels.

"Is this what you were talking about? Are you sure this thing can help me?"

Max spoke with a hint of disbelief, and a mocking voice came from the other end of the communication: "What, you don't believe me? Don't forget who got you out of the MRD (Mutant Management Bureau)."

"No, I just... I'll do it right away."

He gathered electricity in both hands and smashed the aquarium with a punch. The alarm went off immediately, but Maxon Dillon didn't care and went to catch the modified electric eels wriggling on the ground. When he caught one, the three thousand volts of high voltage released from it made him feel intoxicated. He let out a comfortable groan and relaxed completely. Only when the electric eel in his arms stopped discharging did he regretfully put it into the bag and tie it to his chest.

"Three thousand volts, I can't limit myself to three thousand volts."

As Max spoke, he punched through the floor, then grabbed the wire and gripped it tightly, absorbing it. The 110-volt standard voltage set by that idiot Edison for America couldn't bring him any pleasure at all. He smacked his lips in dissatisfaction, diligently absorbing the current, and stood up as soon as the security forces entered.

Beneath his skin, almost visible to the naked eye, flowed a dazzling electric current. He suddenly stretched out his hands, releasing high-voltage electricity that knocked out the security guards who were trying to arrest him. Then, he shouted in extreme excitement, smashed through the glass, and jumped off the roof. The remaining security guards gathered around the broken glass, watching the man who was accelerating wildly with the help of electric current.

"Report! A... a creature capable of generating electricity has infiltrated the lab and captured a modified eel?"

“I brought it back! With this, I can absorb a stronger current, right?” Max, carrying a bag of electric eels, handed them to Dr. Otto Octavia, the man who had helped him retrieve them from the MRD prison. However, Dr. Otto simply used his mechanical tentacles to pass the electric eels to another person standing nearby.

“Unfortunately, I’m not a mutant and can’t get into Kenosha, so Max.” Otto Octavia introduced the young woman who would be taking Max to Kenosha: “Meet Miss Essex, the head of the Weapon X project, Ms. Ominous.”

　To facilitate the plot, Electro's origin story was changed to that of a mutant... well, a mutant before his powers were enhanced.
