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

Chapter 407 One person left, another person arrived
"The result is that we didn't get any answers, but instead gained more questions." Peter said as he lifted the manhole cover and jumped out, then reached out and pulled Cindy up, continuing, "We roughly know that the reason my father was able to develop genetically modified spiders was probably because he received help from some spider totem, I mean, a spider ability user. But this has nothing to do with what we are investigating."

He looked at Felicia, who was walking at the very back, reached out his hand, and pulled her up. As Felicia climbed up, she replied, "Unless Hydra is like your father."

Peter was stunned.

"What did you say?"

“I mean, unless Hydra, like your father, doesn’t have any source of power from the Third Reich or some kind of heaven-defying technology, but rather from a group of gods or something like your spider abilities, which your father then discovered.”

After Felicia finished speaking, she noticed Peter standing there, and suddenly realized what she meant: "Wait, you don't really think so, do you?"

"It's not impossible..."

Whether it's the Marvel Cinematic Universe or the comic book universe, the backing of Hydra is not so simple. In the MCU cinematic universe, Hydra originated from the Inhuman "Hive". After Hive led the Inhumans to overthrow the Kree rule, he was exiled by the Inhumans because of his excessive brutality, and his followers formed the earliest Hydra.

The comics are a bit more complicated. The origin of Hydra is the Spear of Imhotep, an artifact of the great hero Imhotep. This weapon of faith, after being corrupted, began to give birth to the prototype of Hydra, and was obtained by Baron Strucker, the founder of Hydra, during World War II.

However, this universe is clearly not like that. First of all, according to both historical records and Captain America's memories, the Hydra on Earth 616 today evolved from the SS of the Third Reich, created to fulfill the Third Reich Führer's bizarre pursuit of supernatural and futuristic technology. As for what lies behind this, it remains unknown for now.

However, based on current observations, there's no doubt that Hydra's origins predate the Third Reich, and it's not impossible that something might be behind them. It's also possible that Richard Parker was silenced by Hydra because his research revealed the presence of divine power behind them.

Damn it, why does Marvel stuff always involve these weird and wonderful things?

Peter sighed helplessly, but in any case, his business in Taranto was probably over. He would rest here for the night and then return to the main group the next day to continue his travels and fight the elementals.

Furthermore, even if this conjecture were told to Nick Fury, it wouldn't be of much use, unless the intelligence could be thoroughly investigated and directly lead to the destruction of Hydra; otherwise, it would be useless intelligence for the time being.

But what Peter didn't know was that shortly after he left the temple, the spiders covered the idol again, and at the same time, a person appeared and restored the sewer wall he had broken to its original state.

What he didn't know was that just a few hours after he left Taranto on the Wild Bunch's transport plane the very next day, Captain America and Logan arrived there. After the two of them arrived in Taranto on motorcycles, Captain America received news that Spider-Man had left and encountered enemies.

"The good news is, we don't need to worry about the child anymore; he's gone. The bad news is, it looks like the guest we've been waiting for has arrived."

"You can smell it?"

"Do not."

Without a shield, the captain drew his loyal combat knife and 9mm pistol, quickly jumped out of the vehicle and hid in the bushes: "I just feel like I'm back on the battlefield."

Logan didn't have time to react before he was shot in the motorcycle's fuel tank, bursting into flames and rolling to the side. The captain silently counted a few seconds before suddenly sensing something was wrong. After another roll, a man wearing a skull-like helmet and a white cloak nearly stabbed him with a sword.

“Anthony Masters, I know you, the master of imitation.”

After dodging, the captain looked at the man who held a shield in one hand and a sword in the other: "You're a former instructor at S.H.I.E.L.D., so why are you working for S.H.I.E.L.D.'s adversaries now? And that man behind you, that's the legendary Winter Soldier, isn't he?" A figure could be seen in the distance behind them, dressed in all black, and it was hard to make out clearly, but the captain still intuitively felt that it should be Bucky.

"How interesting. I don't remember you. It seems you're not one of the agents I originally trained. Fury is really delusional, thinking that you newcomers can be of any use?"

"maybe."

The captain quickly fired at Taskmaster and simultaneously lunged forward. Taskmaster seized the opportunity to kick him, but he didn't expect that the one rushing towards him was a super soldier, much faster than he anticipated, who grabbed his shield.

Meanwhile, the Winter Soldier with a grenade launcher was approaching from a distance. He had initially raised his gun to aim at the captain, but something else burning nearby caught his attention. He then realized that the man who should have been dead was standing up, his body ablaze.

The Winter Soldier fired several grenades at the enemy almost instantly.

"I see, a superpowered person?"

Upon witnessing this, the Imitation Master seemed to realize something and then let out a cold laugh: "But unfortunately, strength alone cannot win a battle. Let me teach you the art of combat!"

The captain watched as the imitator sheathed his sword, placed his shield behind his back, and, mimicking the captain, took out a combat dagger and a pistol. He sighed with a hint of helplessness.

Are you serious?

Ignoring Logan's ongoing self-healing, Captain America immediately rushed forward to exchange punches with Taskmaster and seized the opportunity to shoot at him. Taskmaster quickly grasped Captain America's fighting style and learned his techniques, and the two quickly became entangled.

He then realized something was wrong. The person in front of him seemed to be not only a superhuman, but also had excellent fighting skills. Where did Fury find this person?
But that's the end of it.

He had already analyzed this person's physical data and all his combat techniques. Now, every move the opponent made was within his calculations, and he didn't need any extra methods to defeat him...

He saw the man in front of him dodge by dodging, and then a burning man appeared in front of him.

?

"As we agreed before, leave the Winter Soldier to me."

The captain looked at Logan, who had regained his mobility, and left with only this sentence, while Taskmaster stood ready, preparing to replicate the fighting style of the person in front of him once again.

Then he saw the other person's outstretched claws.

"……Grass."
