I'm doing bidirectional science popularization in American comics

Why is this guy in front of me suddenly reciting a scary British nursery rhyme?

Depp nodded and said, "That's right, it's Solomon Grendy, who was born on Monday, baptized on Tuesday, and buried on Sunday."

Outside the door, Natasha and a group of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents were intently listening to the conversation inside.

She said into the communicator, puzzled, "He's telling Banner a British nursery rhyme about Solomon Grundy. I don't understand this guy's thought process!"

Nick Fury pondered for a moment upon hearing this and said, "Continue listening; there may be many secrets hidden within."

"Yes, sir."

As soon as Natasha finished speaking, a crackling, piercing electrical sound came through the communicator.

Then she discovered that all the electronic devices on herself and the agents around her had malfunctioned.

"Damn it, which idiot bought this batch of equipment?"

Inside the room, Depp stretched out his hands to dispel the static electricity he had just used to destroy the electronic devices.

Banner asked, "What exactly are you trying to say?"

"I want to say that Solomon Grendi is a real person."

"He is enormous, incredibly strong, fearless of injury, and possesses a near-immortal regenerative ability."

"But... he's not very intelligent, he's as silly as a little kid."

Banner paused for a moment upon hearing this, then said calmly, "Like... the Hulk?"

Looking at the one-sided popular science notes already recorded in the Mirror of Introduction, Depp was about to agree with Banner's words.

They discovered that Banner's skin was rapidly turning green and his body was rapidly expanding.

Banner looked tense, like a child who had done something wrong. He said painfully, "No, I can't control it anymore, the Hulk is coming out, you guys run... Roar!"

Looking at the enormous green behemoth in front of him, Depp was also a little intimidated.

After all, according to the established rules, the Hulk's power is limitless.

His size and strength increase with his anger.

After transforming, Hulk lowered his head and roared furiously at Depp with his mouth wide open.

The strong wind nearly made Depp lose his balance, but thankfully, Dr. Banner didn't have bad breath.

"Hulk isn't a silly little kid!"

"Hulk isn't stupid!!!"

Seeing Hulk roaring at him, Depp finally understood why the guy had suddenly appeared.

I guess it was Banner's comment about the silly Grandi being like the Hulk that angered him.

After all, Hulk is essentially Banner's hidden second personality, and these two personalities are completely independent; at least in the early stages, they don't even share memories.

Depp stared into Hulk's eyes and said, "That's right, that's right, Hulk isn't a silly little kid, Hulk is the smartest!"

Hulk was taken aback; this was the first time someone had ever called him smart.

This guy in front of me... seems to know me pretty well!

He's completely different from that awful guy Banner!

Depp continued, "Hulk's IQ is clearly much higher than Banner's. In my opinion, the one who's really stupid is Banner!"

Hulk: "!!!"

Praising himself while criticizing Banner, Hulk felt that Depp's words resonated with him perfectly!

"Hulk thinks you're right."

Upon hearing this, Hulk sat cross-legged on the ground, grinning foolishly and sucking his fingers.

Depp breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this; he knew he had made the right bet.

Hulk is Banner's other personality, but he is almost always in a dormant state.

Hulk, who has little contact with the outside world, is like a newborn child who is incredibly strong but extremely irritable.

When dealing with children, especially those you can no longer physically discipline, guidance and counseling are far more effective than physical punishment or verbal abuse.

As his anger subsides, Hulk's size gradually shrinks, and he slowly transforms back into Banner, while Hulk's personality is falling back into slumber.

In the last second before transforming back into Banner, Hulk yawned and said, "Depp is really Hulk's best buddy!"

A moment later, Banner was completely naked except for his specially made underwear.

He shook his head, looked around, and found that the Hulk hadn't caused much damage.

Banner let out a long sigh and said, "You actually managed to suppress him? What just happened?"

Banner and Hulk do not share memories, so he has no idea what happened when Hulk took over his body.

Upon hearing Banner's question, Depp replied righteously, "I was just reasoning with Hulk and appealing to his emotions. That kid is actually quite easy to talk to."

Banner looked shocked: "You're not kidding me, are you?"

Banner knows better than anyone how bad Hulk's temper and how destructive he is.

But he had no choice but to believe what this guy was saying, because the facts were right in front of him.

Depp said, "Hulk is just another personality of yours. You've been suppressing Hulk for a long time, which is equivalent to suppressing yourself. But it's better to guide than to suppress. I think you should find an opportunity to have a good talk with Hulk."

Banner stood up, grabbed a set of clothes and put them on, saying, "Perhaps, but I need to find a secluded place to have a heart-to-heart talk with him. Is there anything else?"

He knew why Hulk had appeared earlier, so he didn't mention Grandi again.

“I don’t have anything else to say, but they…” Depp pointed to the door, “They probably want to invite you to join the Avengers, a superhero organization that protects the Earth.”

"Are you really not a high-ranking official from S.H.I.E.L.D. or the FBI?"

"Of course not, I have no interest in being a lackey of the government."

Depp glanced at the time; it was almost time to return to DC. He thought for a moment, and to increase trust between them, he decided to speak directly:

"I have to go now, I'll be right back. Banner, don't let them in, and don't let them see how I leave."

After saying that, time returned to zero, and Depp was enveloped in a mesmerizing purple mist.

Banner was somewhat surprised by this and pondered, "This guy seems to have more secrets than I thought."

Upon returning to Gotham, Depp donned a long raincoat and a gas mask.

They secretly moved the manhole cover off the street and entered the sewer.

His target is Solomon Grandi.

Chapter 80 Grandi and Depp, Best Buddies!

Gotham City's sewers are a complex system, but thanks to Bruce's investment in renovations, although the smell is still pungent, they are at least much cleaner.

Depp moved quickly through the sewers. Before going to Marvel, he had already used his self-made mechanical bug to scout out the route and find out Grandy's activity range in the sewers.

From around the corner of the sewer, the faint sound of a nursery rhyme reached Depp's ears.

Solomon Grandi,

Landing on Monday

Baptized on Tuesday,

Marrying on Wednesday

He contracted the disease on Thursday.

He was seriously ill on Friday.

Saturday has passed.

The burial will take place on Sunday.

Solomon Grandi, he'll see this through to the end.

The eerie, dark nursery rhyme is sung by a simple, honest voice, deep and slightly comical.

As he turned the corner, Depp knew that Grandi was just ahead.

Solomon Grandi

Main ability: Super strength.

Not far away, a guy in a tattered suit sat in the corner, repeatedly singing that nursery rhyme.

This nursery rhyme was the first sound Grandy heard after he awoke from the swamp.

Having just awakened and lost all his memories, he simply adopted Solomon Grandi as his name.

With his inhumanly strong body and gray, decaying skin, Grandi, resembling a giant zombie, ignored Depp's approach.

Depp gathered his thoughts, glanced at the sewer passages on both sides, and prepared to flee at any moment.

After all, he couldn't quite figure out what kind of person Grandi was.

This guy was initially introduced as a villain, but his later actions are closer to those of an anti-hero.

Furthermore, Grandi's power is also extremely unpredictable.

There were times when he was defeated by Batman in close combat, and times when he was able to fight back and even suppress Superman. He even had a holiday dinner with Two-Face in the sewers.

Overall, this guy is simple-minded but possesses superhuman strength and is immortal.

Having planned their escape route in case the negotiations broke down, Depp patted Grandi on the shoulder.

"Hey, Grandi."

Grandi looked back, but he didn't recognize Depp.

"Who are you? Why are you looking for Grandi?"

Depp breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Grandi didn't attack him indiscriminately right away.

It seems that although this guy is like a silly kid, just like the Hulk, he is not as aggressive as the Hulk.

Before using the laptop function, Depp first called Banner.

After the call was connected, no science popularization prompts were displayed by the system.
