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

Chapter 375 Cloning the Green Goblin
Faced with Jonah's angry roar and Spider-Man's explanation, Phil Ullrick was completely dumbfounded. He had a clear conscience; he really hadn't betrayed the Daily Bugle!
But Jonah felt he had found the guy who tipped off Roderick and was about to berate him when Spider-Man interrupted him: "Mr. Jameson, the Fairy King doesn't need any undercover agents to know your itinerary; it is the best undercover agent itself."

Jonah paused for less than a second before catching the key word in Spider-Man's words: "It? You better mean it's not human, rather than that it has a non-binary gender."

"It's an artificial intelligence, an AI that mimics someone's way of thinking. That AI needs a body, a body that can be compatible with the Green Goblin serum." Peter, not wanting to waste any more words, pointed at Phil and shouted, "Now, throw away all your electronic devices, get in, quick!"

"all?"

"Phil, why didn't you say anything about this?!" Benjamin Ullrick roared, and Phil was immediately terrified and at a loss for words: "Uncle Ben, I was worried, I was worried that it would hurt you..."

"So you have an Uncle Ben too?" Peter sighed helplessly, made the uncle and nephew throw away their electronic devices, rushed into Avengers Tower, and picked up Phil Ulrich's phone.

Editor-in-Chief Robbie, who had just arrived, was about to say something when he saw Jonathan's shushing gesture, so he chose to remain silent and wait for Spider-Man to finish his call. As for who it was to, Jonathan knew very well—it was to the Fairy King.

Spider-Man is trying to get material for the Daily Bugle! He needs to tell himself part of the truth about it all.

Although Spider-Man is a violent masked vigilante who always causes a lot of property damage, he does have some redeeming qualities. Thinking this, Jonah grabbed the paper and pen beside him, ready to write down everything he heard.

Of course, Peter didn't actually need to call the AI ​​Green Goblin, since the latter now monitors almost the entire world's network and naturally knows what Spider-Man is doing. Sure enough, the phone rang.

"I admire you, Spider-Man. Your magic has caused me a lot of trouble, which was beyond my calculations. But don't worry, I've already factored that in into my calculations."

"I have a question, why?"

The AI ​​Green Goblin on the other end seemed not to understand Peter's question, and retorted: "What? Why?"

"Why did you capture Phil Ulrich instead of cloning a Green Goblin's body directly? With your abilities, is it really that difficult to clone a Green Goblin's body?"

There seemed to be a pause on the other end. Peter wasn't sure why the other person had blocked him. After checking his phone screen and confirming that the call hadn't been cut off, he tapped his phone: "Hello, can you answer this question? Are you still there?"

As a result, Peter was met with an unexpected burst of laughter. Although the other party was an AI, its laughter was almost exactly the same as Norman's, without any sense of being inhuman.

[You actually asked this question? Didn't Jonathan tell you anything?]

"what?"

[The situation with clones is unstable. To ensure that clones have the same performance as the originals, technology cannot be used to accelerate the growth of clones; otherwise, they are extremely prone to collapse during genetic mutation. This kind of mutation isn't even the powerful mutation from injecting Green Goblin serum or being bitten by a mutated spider; even the original mutations and differentiation of human cells can collapse. A clone body that has been artificially matured wouldn't last two months if injected with Green Goblin serum.] [Otherwise, why do you think Norman would abandon Otto Octavia? Did Otto Octavia's own body collapse? Couldn't he just clone a teenage or twenty-something body and transfer his consciousness to it? Of course not. Even if he did that, he would still develop ALS in less than a year, and his body would even deteriorate more severely and rapidly.]

Therefore, the Green Goblin AI cannot take over the body of the Norman clone, and thus cannot disappear as he desires, making him an imperfect Green Goblin.

However, clones do have some uses. For example, through trial and error, it's possible to find one or two bodies that can survive for a few more days, and then create a perfect Green Goblin—even if only for a few days.

"What is the use?"

Jameson, who couldn't hear anything on the other end of the phone, saw what he had written down and had no idea what they were talking about. Spider-Man was being so cryptic. Could you please put it on speakerphone?
[You haven't counted all the goblins I listed. Green Goblin appeared, Red Goblin couldn't be born without a symbiote, Gray Goblin appeared, Demon appeared, Pumpkin Jack appeared, what other goblins haven't appeared yet?]

[You! Spider-Man! You are also a perfect candidate for the Green Goblin serum!]

Peter sensed no movement from his spider-sense, but he still felt the danger instinctively. He did a backflip and landed, watching a pumpkin bomb explode. Unlike the previous pumpkin bombs, this one was a stun grenade. If he didn't dodge in time, it would stun him.

"Your growth in combat skills is truly remarkable, Spider-Man. Even with your spider senses blocked, you still find a way to dodge."

The Green Goblin in front of him appeared to be shorter than the one Peter had fought that morning, only about 1.8 meters tall, but his exoskeleton armor looked more advanced and lighter. Furthermore, his glider was larger and faster than the ones Peter had dealt with that morning.

He wasn't wearing a comical goblin mask, but rather a helmet that covered the upper half of his face, with dark V-shaped goggles protecting his head. The antennas on the sides of the helmet looked just like goblin donkey ears. His exposed chin had green skin, but not the grayish-green or dark green that Peter had imagined.

That's the color of the Hulk.

As the green goblin twisted its neck, its helmet disassembled and retracted behind it, revealing its true form: a Norman Osborn with green skin, neither insane nor mutated, as if he had simply been dyed.

"The Fairy King is... is Norman Osborn?!"

"A clone of Norman Osborn, he is the perfect Green Goblin serum fitter."

Jonah couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, while Peter noticed two problems.

First, the clone Green Goblin in front of him has blocked his spider-sense, which means that Norman is also secretly researching countermeasures against him. Second...

It seems that the AI ​​Green Goblin doesn't know Spider-Man's true identity...?
