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

Chapter 396 The Essence of the Elementals
The wind not only dispersed the elementals' fierce attack, but also ruffled Sylvia's hair. She brushed her wind-blown hair back and asked incredulously, "Are you Gandalf?"

"Uh, no, I know a Gandalf. Let me make it clear, my magical abilities are extremely taxing, I can't use many spells. And I'll soon have to, uh, get back to something else."

The Wind of Vatum, as the name suggests, is a spell that borrows power from Vatum. Peter has no connection to Vatum, so this is a genuine loan. Peter felt a weakness in his soul almost instantly. Fortunately, he only used the spell briefly and then waited for himself to recover naturally.

As for the remaining spell, it doesn't need to borrow power.

But after hearing Peter's words, Sylvia was stunned. She looked at Spider-Man, and after confirming for a while, asked, "But... but if you go and do something else, does that mean you're not going to fight them?"

"I never said that. What I mean is that I need to try to deal with these four people from another angle. Of course, I will also participate in the battle; my suit will fight for me."

Sylvia was stunned again, and couldn't help but ask, "What do you mean by your battle suit...?"

While the two were chatting, the four Elementals floating not far away were also puzzled. They had no idea why Spider-Man could suddenly conjure a gust of wind and blow away their grand spectacle. How come they didn't know Spider-Man could do this?
How reliable is Hydra's intelligence system?
“Okay, uh, I actually know who you are, but I still can’t remember your names. Sandmen and Watermen are pretty convenient.” Peter didn’t explain to Sylvia what “battle suit substitute” meant, but looked at the elementals and asked them, “Do you want to surrender now? It’ll be easier that way. Otherwise, if I catch you later, it’ll be troublesome.”

"You caught me?"

The water-man standing at the front laughed at Spider-Man's arrogance: "Maybe you've found a way to deal with me, but can you catch us? You've never done it before, Spider-Man, and you won't either!"

"On the contrary, you will die here!"

"I've heard this sentence countless times."

Peter shook his head helplessly. Then, Sylvia saw Spider-Man cast another spell, slapping himself on the ground. A Spider-Man spirit flew out of his body: "I practiced for a long time to make sure that what flew out was Spider-Man and not my real identity."

Sylvia, the rest of the Wild Band, and the Elementals were all stunned by Spider-Man's move. Peter, however, was unfazed, because the instant his body collapsed, Venom took over, transforming into Venom form and greeting Sylvia: "Hello, miss."

Sylvia used a bit of willpower to resist the urge to raise her hand and shoot Venom, while Venom nimbly moved his body and charged directly towards the four Elementals.

"The symbiote fears fire."

The Molten Man was the first to step forward, then grinned maliciously and charged towards Venom: "I can handle him by myself!"

"Wait, we don't know anything about Spider-Man yet..."

Before Hydra could finish speaking, Spider-Man's spirit had already rushed in front of Molten Man and punched him before Venom could react. Molten Man was stunned by the punch and didn't know what was happening for a moment. Then Venom fired two liquid nitrogen bombs at Molten Man.

Peter, in his spirit form, was naturally unharmed and ignored the opponent's flames. At the same time, he caught the opponent's punch. Peter was essentially attacking the opponent's soul. Therefore, if the opponent's soul attacked, Peter would also be hit, but he would not be hit by the opponent's high temperature and superpowers. Instead, he would be hit by the opponent's soul.

If the opponent's soul is just an ordinary person, then the damage from this punch is practically negligible.

"As expected, the essence of your abilities isn't transforming yourselves into new matter, but rather turning yourselves into ethereal beings that control some kind of matter." Peter took a deep breath. He had suspected this before, and now he was certain. The essence of the Elementals is like the X-Men mutant Rock Slide from Xavier's School of the Arts; they don't actually turn their bodies into elements. Otherwise, the body parts of the four people recovered by the Wild Chapter should have reverted to flesh.

At the same time, they did not transform into some kind of element. Otherwise, if the Sandman was melted by high temperature and the Molten Man was damaged by low temperature, it would have interfered with a part of their body.

Therefore, they have become a kind of incorporeal spiritual being, and must use elements they can control to form new bodies in order to interfere with matter. This is also why Peter was able to catch their punches, because their essence is also spiritual, and that punch was actually a spirit hitting a spirit.

If the opponent has simply turned their body into elements, then Peter won't be able to hit them!
At this moment, Venom, relying on the cooling effect of liquid nitrogen on the molten man, punched him in the solidifying liquid metal. The molten man, who was sent flying by the punch, began to repair his body damaged by Venom in great fear, while shouting.

"Watch out! That Spider-Man floating out from Spider-Man's body can hurt us!"

"Speaking of which, I should thank you. If you hadn't transformed yourselves into spirit beings, I really wouldn't have been able to deal with you using the methods of a mage. You know the rules of the magical world, and so on." Peter's soul floated in mid-air and shrugged. "So I'll ask you one last time, give me a straight answer, will you surrender or not!"

"Kill his body!"

The whirlwind, who had been silent until now, roared: "Astral projection is not without its flaws. Kill his physical body and let's see if he can find a way to deal with us again!"

Just then, a jeep drifted in with a flourish, crashing directly into the four Elementalists who were rambling on. Black Cat landed with a cool superhero flair next to Sylvia: "Looks like I haven't missed the show yet."

"The car you smashed cost $20,000 to purchase."

Sylvia added coldly, and Felicia gave an awkward laugh. Cindy, who had also landed, sensed Peter's location and finally confirmed one thing.

She could sense both the soul and the body.

　This section clarifies that the weapon expansion project in this book differs from the official Marvel setting. (The official version is actually quite chaotic.)

　　Project Two: Savage Force: Developing super soldiers that combine animal genes with human genes.

　　Project Three: Shapeshifters: Developing super spies capable of perfect infiltration.
　　Project Four: The Red Room: Developing a method of control capable of stripping humans of their free will and weaponizing them.
　　Project 5: Symbiotes: Develop methods to control extraterrestrial symbiotes.

　　Project Six: Elements: Transferring human consciousness into a psionic state to control matter.
　　Project Seven: The Castle: Research a method to transform humans into magical creatures (vampires).

　　Project 8: Radiation: Researching methods for modifying the human body using gamma rays and other cosmic rays.
　　Project Nine: Mr. Hyde: Researching methods to alter a person's physiological structure and superpowers by switching personalities.

　　Project 10: X: Methods for researching artificial or weaponized mutants.
　　Different projects can be combined.
