I'm doing bidirectional science popularization in American comics

Furthermore, Depp already had plans for Quentin Baker's first film.

"Then... what else can I film?"

The light in Quentin Baker's eyes seemed to have vanished once again.

Depp stood up, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Go find me a set of paintbrushes and white paper."

"Huh?" Quentin Baker was stunned for a moment before he realized what was happening. He then walked out of his office and went to the art department to borrow paintbrushes and white paper.

Then, Depp pushed his hand speed to the limit and started drawing on the paper.

Ten seconds later, Depp picked up the painting he had just finished and showed it to Quentin Baker.

In the center of the drawing, a figure with a huge glass dome head occupies almost the entire space.

This guy was wearing a green battle suit, with some gold armor plates protecting his torso and elbows.

Behind this guy, a huge purple cloak fluttered in the wind, like a huge net that blotted out the sky.

The figure in the painting stretches out his hands, surrounded by countless green mists, which even shroud his lower body in a huge, dense green fog.

The characters in the story feel absurd yet mysterious, terrifying yet powerful.

Quentin Baker stared blankly at the figure in Depp's painting, standing there in a daze.

At this moment, his mind was in turmoil.

For some reason, Quentin Baker felt a strong sense of familiarity when he saw the figure in the painting, as if... it were his long-lost younger brother.

Although it felt absurd, Quentin Baker was somewhat unable to extricate himself from it.

The painting seemed to possess a magical power that drew him in, and Quentin Baker couldn't take his eyes off it.

After a long pause, he said in a trembling voice, "Is this the company's newly developed superhero?"

Depp nodded: "I guess so, but besides me, you're the first person to have met him."

"What's his name?" Quentin Baker asked impatiently.

Depp simply handed the painting to Quentin Baker and said, "His name is Mysterio, an ordinary man with many peculiarities."

"An ordinary person with many extraordinary abilities?" Quentin Baker held the painting, his eyes shining. "Then can you tell me what abilities he has?"

Depp said:

"Mysterio is an ordinary person without supernatural powers, but he is a top-notch film special effects artist who is proficient in stage illusions and virtual reality technology."

"At the same time, he is also skilled in some unarmed combat techniques."

"He uses hypnosis, neurotoxins, and a series of ingenious special effects props to create incredibly realistic illusions, thereby defeating his opponents mentally and psychologically. In addition, he is proficient in chemistry and electromechanical engineering, creating robotic doppelgangers and drones to assist his illusions in attacking his opponents."

"All in all, he is a rather charismatic... anti-heroic character."

After hearing Depp's words, Quentin Baker couldn't help but exclaim, "That's so cool, an anti-heroic character...that's awesome!"

However, Quentin Baker immediately realized something: Mysterio's character seemed to overlap too much with someone else...

"Wait, boss, Mysterio's name isn't...?"

"That's right, his name is Quentin Baker."

Upon hearing Depp's answer, Quentin Baker immediately froze on the spot.

He never expected that his boss would design such a charming role specifically for him.

This shows how much importance is attached to it!

Tears welled up in Quentin Baker's eyes and streamed down his face.

Seeing Quentin Baker in tears, Depp said to him, "You take these few days to prepare, and I'll give you the script in a while."

Quentin Baker bit his lip and nodded heavily: "Don't worry, boss, I'll make the best superhero movie in the world!"

I, Quentin Baker, am willing to go through fire and water for Johnny Depp!

Depp walked out of the office, and the voice of the Siren symbiote reached his ears.

"Something's not right here."

Chapter 308 Venom

Something's not right?

Depp frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"

The siren symbiote continued in that domineering, mature female voice, "Oh dear, well... how should I put it? I think I smell the scent of one of my own kind."

“You mean symbiotes?” Depp asked.

The mention of the siren symbiote made him somewhat wary.

However, Depp wasn't worried about his own safety, since the symbiote was nothing more than a weakling in his eyes now.

What Depp fears is that after he leaves, the symbiote, which is hiding somewhere, will attack his company.

The siren symbiote's small blue tongue peeked out from Depp's neck, licked it, and said, "That guy is very close to us, but my senses aren't very strong on land. I can only sense that he's probably in one of the buildings around here."

he?

Depp keenly noticed the wording used in the siren symbiote, suggesting that the other symbiote was male.

Depp used his X-ray vision to look around, but found nothing.

Clearly, that wretched symbiote has merged with some unfortunate soul.

No, rather than fusion, it's more like some unlucky guy was parasitized by a symbiote.

Who exactly is this symbiote in the vicinity?

venom?

Or a massacre?

Depp took out the Mirror of Information and used his X-ray vision to begin looking at the names and information of everyone in the area.

Bobby Kindle, cartoonist

Main abilities: Proficient in various erotic comics, with a unique aesthetic and preference for female anatomy.

Favorability rating: Quite favorable.

Fuck!

Pervert!

Looking at this guy's information, Depp was a little confused.

Moreover, this guy is the lead artist at his own comic book company.

Depp's attitude towards employees with such bad habits is very clear.

Gambling can lead to financial ruin; it's something you should never touch.

Poison, it brings ruin and death, you must never touch it.

Huang, send it to me right now!

After glancing at the company group chat that he had blocked, Depp wondered if he should add this guy as a friend.

Depp turned his head and continued looking at the others.

John Malone, a sales elite

Key abilities: quick-witted, eloquent, and a skilled salesperson.

Favorability rating: Quite favorable.

Dina Sirius, a well-known female reporter for Sunshine Daily

Key abilities: Excellent eloquence and adaptability, and a keen awareness of major news events.

Favorability rating: Strangers.

After a week of inspections, Depp was found to be out of stock.

None of these people had the Venom Symbiote's name staring at their heads.

However, in the end, Depp did notice a woman with long blonde hair.

Dora, a member of the Life Foundation

Main competence: Proficient in biological technology.

Favorability rating: Strangers.

Depp looked at the woman drinking coffee in the café next door and immediately recalled certain scenes from the story.

To be honest, Depp's grasp of the symbiote plot, especially the part about Venom, is somewhat weak.

After all, the Venom family is just too chaotic.

As the first symbiote to arrive on Earth, Venom has produced countless offspring, creating a complex and tangled situation.

The woman in front of him was an employee of the Life Foundation, the organization that initially researched Venom.

Of course, compared to the middle-aged appearance in the movie, Dr. Dora in the coffee shop is obviously much younger.

Dr. Dora, who wears glasses, is slender and exudes a gentle and intellectual air.

Depp walked out of the company and into the coffee shop next door.

"The aura of our kind...is it emanating from that woman?"

Depp casually walked past Dr. Dora and spoke to the Siren symbiote.

Two seconds later, the siren symbiote said, "It should be her, but the scent is much fainter than before. It seems she has only picked up some of the scent and hasn't been parasitized."

Dr. Dora was holding her coffee, just about to take a sip, when she was interrupted by the sudden ringing of her cell phone.

"A phone call from Mr. Drake"

This is what Dr. Dora's phone screen displays.

Depp sat down at the table next to Dr. Dora and began eavesdropping.

"Dora, come back here right now! Do you really want to lose this job?" A man said angrily on the phone. "You should know that apart from the Life Foundation, no other company can pay you this much money, nor would they value you this much. Or rather... you're not actually worth this much money. Only a kind person like me would be willing to pay you such a generous salary!"
