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

Chapter 287 Electric Boy
While Peter was still wondering where Magneto was, Wanda's persistence was becoming increasingly difficult. She could clearly feel that with her suppression, Electro's energy was growing stronger because it had nowhere to be released. Wanda looked at Peter and said this directly: "The energy in his body is still getting stronger. If this continues, he will definitely explode."

Cutting off Genosha's power supply is no longer of any use. Electro's body has long since become glowing blue and hot, almost transparent. Judging from his expression, it's clear he's in considerable pain.

Peter made the decision almost instantly.

"Can you control him to pull him up? Lift him into the sky?" Peter asked Wanda, who was struggling to stay afloat. Wanda nodded rather reluctantly, and Peter quickly said, "Now, throw him into the sky, the farther the better."

"But……"

"There are no buts. We can't risk human lives. He has already absorbed too much electrical energy. We can't be sure when he will explode or what the blast radius will be. We have to ensure the safety of the people around him first."

After Peter finished speaking, he made Venom spread its wings and begin to float, then looked at Wanda: "Now!"

The insulating webs used to restrain Electro were torn, and Electro was thrown into the air. Spider-Man, who was flying up with Venom, followed. In mid-air, he saw Electro struggling to adjust his posture and trying to get rid of the interference of chaotic energy. Watching Electro gradually get his hands on his movements, Peter asked his partner.

"Are you ready?"

【no doubt. 】

"Finally!" Electro roared as he regained control of his movements. His entire body was crackling with electricity, as if he were enduring immense pain. But at this moment, he no longer needed to endure it. He mustered all his strength and released almost all of his electrical energy, attempting to unleash it towards the island of Genosha on the ground.

Then he saw Spider-Man fall from the sky.

Electro scoffed at this. "Spider-Man? What can you do to him? Does he think he can absorb the electricity I shoot out?"

Peter couldn't absorb such a massive amount of electrical energy. Although he had the ability to release bioelectricity and had wielded Thor's hammer, he did have a certain capacity to store electricity, but it was impossible for him to withstand Electro's next attack. So he chose another method. Peter fired his spider silk at Electro, who sneered and swung a bolt of lightning, shattering the incoming spider silk bit by bit.

But this is just a smokescreen.

Peter fired insulated spider silk, which was obviously useless against Electro, who was already bursting with energy. He also couldn't try to draw out almost all of his electrical power. Electro wasn't stupid; he wouldn't try to use a cannon to kill a mosquito. So Peter used himself as bait. When he pounced on Electro and even took a solid hit from a lightning bolt, the venom was already ready and landed on Electro.

Next, the symbiote enveloped Electro's entire body, trying to take over his will and controlling the lightning to be released higher into the sky. Venom succeeded, releasing countless currents into the sky. The brilliant blue lightning almost illuminated the entire sky. However, Electro, who released the lightning, no longer needed to endure the pain. He immediately and nimbly made the current flow on his body surface, so that he could successfully attack Venom and block Venom's control over him.

However, Spider-Man had already arrived.

Peter used his insulating webs to ensnare Electro, and while Electro was battling the venom within his body, he pulled him into mid-air, then re-merged with the venom, relentlessly punching Electro in the face. Electro continuously unleashed lightning attacks on Peter, but both Peter and Venom now possessed resistance to lightning far exceeding that of ordinary humans. Peter dragged Electro along in a freefall, while Electro, enduring Spider-Man's punches, despairingly realized that the remaining electrical energy he had released couldn't kill or even escape Spider-Man. Was this how his hard-won freedom to enjoy the thrill of electricity was going to end? Was he going to be imprisoned in that damned raft, destined to spend the rest of his life alone in a room cut off from electricity?

"no way!"

Before Peter could utter any sarcastic remarks, he saw Electro's terrified expression. After roaring out those words, Electro emitted a blinding flash of light that burned the eyes. The intense heat caused Venom to scream and made Peter release his grip—but thankfully he did, because just a few seconds after he began freefall, Electro completely exploded, literally exploded, becoming a giant ball of light flickering in the air before vanishing completely.

Peter plummeted from the sky, staring in disbelief at Max Dillon, who had completely vanished in mid-air. Electro...had he self-destructed?

Oh no, not yet.

Countless sparks of electricity surged in the atmosphere, and then countless tiny blue currents coalesced, slowly forming a human figure—a human figure composed entirely of countless lightning bolts.

"me……"

The electric man looked at himself and uttered a heartfelt sigh.

"I am starving……"

Hunger. After unleashing all his lightning and self-destructing, the genetically modified Electro-Man finally fully awakened his abilities. However, having almost exhausted all the electricity in his body, he felt no joy or satisfaction with his body made of pure energy. On the contrary, he felt endless hunger. He was so hungry that his spirit was somewhat weak.

He didn't even care about the wretched creatures on the ground anymore; he needed to find food, plenty of food. No, he didn't need ordinary food anymore; he needed enough electricity, plenty of electricity…

So he flew toward Manhattan.

Peter was falling, but of course, he wouldn't keep falling forever; Venom could spread its wings at any moment, though freefall would be faster. But soon, he was caught. Magneto reached out and caught the free-falling Peter, a smile spreading across his face.

"Spider-Man, thank you for helping Genoa minimize the damage and even saving the lives of many mutants."

Magneto manipulated the surrounding force field to put Peter down, then landed and looked at Logan and his new mutant team: "Looks like the new generation of X-Men isn't mature enough, Wolverine."
