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

Chapter 360 The tip of the iceberg

Jonah Jameson arrived at Ned's workstation and tearfully announced the news he had received from Spider-Man. Mary Jane, upon hearing this, was shocked and ashamed. She had initially thought Ned was a bribed or coerced reporter who dared not investigate, but she never imagined that he had been captured by the mastermind behind the bombing while investigating the incident.

He even sacrificed himself because of it.

"This is our loss, but also our glory. A great investigative journalist died on duty." Jonah's tone was filled with grief and indignation. "But this cannot be a driving force for us to move forward. Why did Ned Lids die? Was it because the enemy was too powerful, too evil?"

"No! On the contrary, this proves their cowardice, proves their vulnerability! These beasts who toy with human lives and act with impunity are still afraid of the truth, terrified of the truth! They are afraid of being exposed to the light of day! Liz's death proves that we are right! Proves that the path we have chosen is correct! The Daily Bugle will not be afraid! The Daily Bugle will not back down!"

"I'm going to come out of retirement again and investigate this case personally! Wiresaw Jameson will show this so-called Fairy King the power of New York journalists!"

“Jonah, leave it to me.” Ben Yurik looked at Jameson, and the two huddled together and whispered, “Ned was originally writing a report for me. I asked him to do the field investigation. I didn’t expect it to involve so many things. It’s my responsibility to take charge of this investigation.”

“No, Ben, this case is dangerous. I… you’re younger than me, perhaps the Daily Bugle needs you more.” Jonah glanced at the other young people and continued, “I’ll take charge. By the way, where are Ned’s files?”

Jonah glanced at Mary Jane, who was watching the two of them, sighed, and walked up to her. "Well, Miss Watson, you heard what I said."

“I know, Mr. Jameson, I’d be happy to help you.”

“This is a formal investigation, Watson! You're just a… high school intern, what can you possibly do to help me?!”

Mary Jane blinked, then told Jameson about Peter's and her own reasoning from the previous day, without involving Peter, of course.

“Mr. Ned has located the general area of ​​the target, but he has no way to get support from the police. Mr. Jameson, if we can get some support from the police, we may soon find out who this Fairy King is.”

Jonah opened his mouth, seemingly suddenly understanding why Ned had been killed.

He actually investigated to this extent!
Overjoyed, he couldn't help but shout, "Hurry up and tell me!"

Roderick Kingsley is a renowned New York fashion designer. His exceptional talent has led him to connect with many members of New York's high society, and he has helped them design numerous distinctive and tasteful garments.

And he was indeed a demon, and the original demon from the original history.

Roderick Kingsley was tired of his monotonous life, or rather, he was bored. Although his job as a fashion designer provided him with a substantial financial foundation, it didn't mean he was content. With the increasing number of people with superpowers appearing in the world, Roderick Kingsley began to feel weary of his ordinary life.

Until that night, the three metal spheres changed their fate.

Yes, not one, but three. If history hadn't changed, Roderick would have found the Green Goblin's complete equipment, including the Green Goblin serum, in the sewers after Norman Osborn faked his death. He would then use Arnold Donovan to test the serum's side effects, turning Donovan into the second-generation Green Goblin until his death, and then brainwash Ned Liz into the third-generation Green Goblin, thus escaping his fate.

Then, Roderick will use the Green Goblin Serum to modify the "Devil Serum," which will not affect his personality, and become a supervillain, Devil.

As for why there are three spheres? In the original story, to protect his true identity, Roderick would have his twin brother Daniel temporarily impersonate a demon. Over time, Daniel also became addicted to pure crime, becoming the future sixth demon. Even more surprisingly, their butler, Claude, eventually joined this group; if history hadn't changed, he would have become the eighth demon.

The family is full of talented people.

After they received the metal ball, a man called the Fairy King found them. Unlike many of the goblins the Fairy King kidnapped who didn't want to become goblins, these three chose to join voluntarily and carried out their own evil deeds. The case at the hotel was indeed committed by Roderick, because that damned employee accidentally bumped into him and saw the gray skin beneath his clothes.

Of course, Roderick wasn't the one who brainwashed and framed people, although those were things he was supposed to do, but the Fairy King had already taken care of it for him.

"Okay, I understand, I get it."

After finishing the call, Roderick scratched his head and then looked at his younger brother behind him: "Well, it seems the Fairy King isn't very efficient. The Avengers, or rather Jonah Jameson, might come looking for us tonight, and then they'll need my alibi."

"Jonah Jameson? That loudmouth who yells all over TV?"

Daniel chuckled and laughed, completely disregarding the old man, while Roderick shook his head.

"It's better to be careful. The Fairy King is still very wary after hearing this news."

“Understood, I’ll be careful. This is the first time the demon will appear in the public eye.” Daniel Kinliss smiled, then raised a question that puzzled him: “By the way, man, the Avengers aren’t like those heroes in DC Comics who have a no-kill policy. What if they come to kill me?”

“You just need to lure them out, Daniel.” Roderick was clearly not too concerned about this: “The Fairy King’s goal is to destroy Spider-Man and his magical friends. We’re just a decoy to lure them out. Once Spider-Man takes the bait, they’ll be under full attack from the Legion of Demons.”

"Once Spider-Man dies, the Fairy King will leave us a territory in this lawless world."

"Alright, old Jameson will probably be here soon."
