Superman Marvel Adventures

This is the news that the media presents to the public now, detailing the scene of Adam Stark's sudden coma and including analyses from so-called experts.

When everyone first saw the news, they thought it was utterly absurd. But after an hour and Adam Stark still hadn't appeared, some people started to panic. Had their superhero really died?

As a result, all sorts of rumors spread through the streets and alleys, from initial skepticism to a state of half-belief. In almost a single morning, the whole world knew about the possible death of Superman.

In front of the Osborne Building. Harry had finally finished dealing with the aftermath of the failed experiment when he received news that a large group of people had gathered in front of the company, holding signs demanding a boycott of Osborne Corporation and an explanation from Harry Osborne, staging a sit-in. He casually inquired whether they should call the police.

"No need to call the police. I'll go out and explain. After all, the accident happened in the experimental area, so I bear some responsibility." He then hung up the phone. He then called Peter Parker.

"Peter, how is Adam?"

Peter Parker's slightly breathless voice came through the phone: "Hey Harry, what's up? Hey bro. Pointing a gun at me won't do, you know, you can't hit me." Halfway through his sentence, other voices came through, as if Peter Parker was doing something else.

Harry Osborne frowned and asked, "Peter, are you outside?"

Harry was met with the sound of fighting, and about ten seconds later Peter Parker's voice came through: "Yes, I'm outside. You have no idea how many robberies have happened in just a few hours today since those damn reporters published that article. I'm exhausted."

Upon hearing this, Harry said, "Okay, I'll go out and help you later. By the way, how is Adam?"

After hearing this, Peter said, "He should be fine. I asked Athena before, and she said that Adam is not in any danger, but it is unknown when he will wake up."

Harry Osborne looked at the people outside through the elevator's transparent glass and said, "I understand. I have some things to take care of here. I'll come and help you after I'm done."

Peter Parker said, "I know, damn it, there's a fire in the east of town, I have to get there."

Upon hearing this, Harry Osborne said, "Then you can finish it yourself." He then hung up the phone, stepped out of the elevator that had reached the bottom, waved to the security captain who had run over, and told him to go out with a few people.

Outside the Osborne Enterprises building, nearly a thousand people had gathered, most of them wearing t-shirts with Superman prints, shouting for Harry Osborne to come out and explain. There was also a group of police officers who had rushed over to handle security issues and ubiquitous reporters, making the entrance to the Osborne Enterprises building completely blocked.

Just then, a sharp-eyed reporter spotted Harry Osborne and immediately exclaimed, "Harry Osborne is out!"

Upon hearing this, the crowd surged forward, nearly knocking over the police officers and Osborn Corporation security guards. Fortunately, Harry Osborn quickly intervened and averted a potential stampede.

"Alright, everyone, please don't crowd," Harry Osborne shouted. "I know you're here because of that article, and I'll tell you the truth. Now, please don't push, take a step back slowly, and watch out for those around you. Oh, and those reporters, please don't rush forward. I'm not in the mood to talk to you reporters, thank you."

Upon hearing Harry Osborne's words, although people glared at him angrily due to being misled by public opinion, they knew they couldn't allow a stampede to occur. So they slowly moved back a step and then stopped. As for the reporters, they kept shouting that it was unfair, but they immediately fell silent after seeing Harry Osborne's cold eyes. For a moment, no one spoke.

Harry Osborne nodded slightly and said, "Alright, gentlemen, start asking your questions." Of course, he was referring to the crowd that had come to demonstrate.

From the crowd, a middle-aged man in a black t-shirt, walking at the front, shouted, "Mr. Osborne, we want to know what happened today? Is what's in the newspapers true?"

After hearing this, Harry Osborne said, "As everyone knows, Mr. Adam is the second largest shareholder of our company and was very interested in this morning's experiment. I believe you have all read about some of the details of the experiment in the newspaper. If it had succeeded, it would have been a groundbreaking invention. Unfortunately, the experiment failed, and the reason for the failure is still under investigation."

The middle-aged man interrupted Harry Osborn loudly, saying, "We've already read about these things in the newspapers. Now we want to know if the Superman story is true, as the newspapers say, that Superman lost his life because of an accident during an experiment."

Harry Osborne frowned and said, “Superman is not dead. Because I am friends with Mr. Adam, I immediately asked Adam’s AI assistant about his condition. Her reply was that Mr. Adam is not in any danger and the cause of his coma is under investigation. I think we will get news soon.”

After hearing this, people were unsure who to believe. On one hand, those experts were top performers in their respective fields and were unlikely to lie. On the other hand, since Harry Osborne claimed to be Adam's friend, he shouldn't be lying either.

Harry Osborne glanced at the people below and continued, "Furthermore, Mr. Adam Stark's company has not issued any statement yet, and the Daily Bugle has only published the news of Superman's coma, so everyone should wait a few days; he will be back. As for the newspaper that published that article and those reporters, experts, and others, they will receive summonses from the court soon."

Chapter 237 Doctor Octopus

The news of Superman's death had disappeared, mainly because the following day, Christine personally sued those newspapers and so-called experts, showing everyone Adam's medical report, which showed perfectly healthy data. This relieved many, who knew Superman hadn't ignored them.

Of course, for those cunning old foxes, this little bit of evidence was far from enough, but they didn't have time to question the authenticity of the evidence, because most organizations were secretly studying Dr. Otto's experiments, and they really wanted to know what had caused Adam Stark to fall into a coma.

A week passed quietly like this. With the help of Spider-Man and Vanguard, plus Christine who occasionally stepped in, the week went by quite peacefully. Of course, it would have been even more perfect if Dr. Otto hadn't disappeared.

Inside the temple hall, Adam lay peacefully in a specially made instrument. Athena and Christine were conducting simulations to try to wake him from his coma. Unfortunately, although all of Adam's data returned to normal immediately after entering the temple, he showed no signs of waking up.

Christine frowned and asked, "What went wrong? Why hasn't he woken up yet?"

While conducting the simulation experiment, Athena said, "I don't know, but since coming to the temple, Master's condition has improved a lot, hasn't it? And in the past few days of research, I have roughly discovered the cause of this accident."

Christine asked, "You've already found out? What caused it? We need to develop preventative measures before those guys do."

Athena pulled up some data and said, "This cannot be replicated. You could say that this accident was a coincidence. A few days ago, when the solar flare erupted, a mysterious cosmic ray appeared for some unknown reason. And this ray is the culprit that caused Adam to fall into a coma and the experiment to fail."

After hearing this, Christine said, "If Dr. Reed were still on Earth, we could ask him some questions."

Athena shook her head and said, "There are very few people we can trust right now. We can't entrust Adam's comfort to others. By the way, Tony called earlier to say he wanted to see Adam, but I turned him down."

Christine nodded and said, "There's no time to worry about it now. By the way, let's try this plan again. Since it's caused by cosmic rays, it should be helpful." After saying that, Christine and Athena started a new round of simulation experiments.

Meanwhile, Dr. Otto, who had escaped from the hospital a few days earlier, was experiencing grief, desolation, and fear. At his most emotionally unstable moment, influenced by the intelligent program that had gained freedom after its inhibitor was destroyed in the experimental accident, he prepared to restart the previous experiment.

Dr. Otto sat in his chair, looking at his robotic arm, and said, "I also want to restart the experiment, but we don't have the money right now. No, we can't rob a bank, that won't do."

Seemingly talking to himself, Dr. Otto communicated with the robotic arm's intelligent program. Finally, under the influence of the robotic arm, his evil thoughts overcame his reason, and he decided to restart the experiment by any means necessary. No space? Grab it! No money? Grab it!! No tritium? Again, one word: Grab it!!

And so, Dr. Otto, with his mechanical arm, attacked the strongholds of three gangs in a single day, recruited them, formed a new force, and began his path of robbery.

Of course, for his entrance into the show, Dr. Otto chose a Citibank branch in Queens without hesitation. The reason? Simple.

It's very close to his base.

The next day, Dr. Otto arrived at the bank in a mid-sized sedan with his henchman.

The bank security guard saw a car parked at the entrance but didn't think anything of it. Although the crime rate in this country is relatively high, no one would rob a bank in broad daylight; after all, there are superheroes maintaining order here. Therefore, he simply thought the other person's actions were impolite and against the rules.

The security guard, while instinctively touching the pistol at his waist—a gesture meant to let the other party know he wasn't joking—walked towards the car door. He knocked on the window a few times and said, "Hey buddy, you can't park here, you know? If you want to park, go to the parking lot across the street or downstairs, there's one."

The car window rolled down, and a guy with dyed red hair and a face covered in tattoos appeared in the driver's seat. He put a cigarette in his mouth, tilted his head, and asked, "What? Can't you see we're doing something important?"

Sensing something was amiss, the security guard quietly drew his pistol from his waist and said to the red-haired man, "Sir, please don't joke around, okay? This could cause misunderstandings." After all, he needed to confirm if it was a prank. There were always a few mentally unstable people in this country, and if he acted impulsively, a series of troubles would definitely await him, the security guard thought.

Just then, the car's side door was blasted away by a tremendous force, flying straight towards the bank's main entrance and smashing through the revolving doors with a loud crash.

The security guard was truly stunned, but he was still quite professional. Almost instantly, he pointed his pistol at the person in front of him and shouted, "Damn it, there's been an attack at the bank entrance! Be careful, this is a robbery! Damn it, put your hands down, or I'll shoot!" While reporting the situation to the bank's security system, he released the safety switch on his pistol and pointed it at the red-haired thug and the person who was getting out of the car.

The person who stepped out of the car was none other than our adorable Dr. Otto. With a cold smile and a shrug, a mechanical arm shot out, piercing a hole in the poor security guard's body. Finally, he gave the guard, who was impaled on the mechanical arm, a mocking look and threw him away.

All of this happened very quickly. By the time the bank security guards came to their senses, Dr. Otto had already walked into the bank. What awaited the security guards who rushed over after hearing the commotion was a hail of bullets fired by Dr. Otto's men and the not-so-warm embrace of death.

Dr. Otto watched with a smile, seemingly enjoying the screams and cries from inside the bank. He raised his hand and clapped his hands, saying, "Alright, ladies and gentlemen, I'm not here to kill anyone. I just need some money. So, if you don't want me to stab a hole in your body, Mr. Manager, you'd better open the vault."

Seemingly because of the dead security guards, the bank manager carefully cooperated with Dr. Otto's threats, taking him to the bank vault and opening it to let Dr. Otto in.

The underlings who went in with Dr. Otto all had smiles on their faces behind their masks. Although their new leader seemed a bit neurotic and cruel, following him was not a bad choice. They entered the bank vault, which they had never dared to dream of before, so easily.

Dr. Otto calmly watched his men pack the cash and gold bars from the vault into bags, and said, "Put everything in. Of course, we don't need those other items." He then stood there quietly.

Just then, a young henchman he had left in the bank lobby rushed in somewhat flustered and said, "

"Boss, Spider-Man, Spider-Man is here!"

"Spider-Man?!" Dr. Otto's face instantly darkened. Influenced by the mechanical arm, he saw Spider-Man as the main reason for his experiment's failure and his greatest enemy.

He said coldly, "You guys keep stuffing these things in. I'm going to crush that ugly little bug." With that, he waved his claws and quickly walked towards the bank lobby.

When Dr. Otto arrived at the bank lobby, he found it empty. His henchmen, bound tightly by spider silk, lay nearby groaning and moaning.

Upon seeing this, Dr. Otto smiled coldly, his several mechanical arms waving freely in the air like a giant octopus, and said, "Welcome, Spider-Man!" One of the mechanical arms suddenly stabbed out, almost piercing through Spider-Man, who was preparing to quickly finish off the enemy. Well, it was more like stabbing Spider-Man, who was preparing to launch a sneak attack.

Chapter 238 Should the experiment be restarted?

Spider-Man narrowly avoided Dr. Otto's attack, frowning as he said, "Doctor, what's wrong with you? Wake up, you're not usually like this."

Dr. Otto coldly stared at Spider-Man and said, "How could you not know what happened to me? Isn't it your fault I became like this? Damn it!" He immediately began attacking Spider-Man.

Spider-Man, with his spider-sense, immediately dodged the attacks from all sides, occasionally firing a few webs to disrupt Dr. Otto's attacks. Unfortunately, Dr. Otto now not only had six mechanical arms, but also, due to the burnt-out suppressor, had gained six times the computing and observation abilities. Every move Spider-Man made was captured by the mechanical arms and transmitted to Dr. Otto's brain, so Spider-Man's attacks were completely useless against Dr. Otto.

Dr. Otto's mechanical arm swept across Spider-Man, who couldn't dodge in time, sending him flying. Then, looking at him with disdain, he said, "Hmph, Spider-Man, I think you're nothing but a complete idiot." A sharp dagger extended from the mechanical arm, ready to end Spider-Man's life.

Just then, with a whooshing sound, an arrow flew from afar and struck Dr. Otto's face. Dr. Otto's eyes narrowed, and his mechanical arm instantly activated, deflecting the arrow. When he came to his senses, he realized he had lost his chance to kill Spider-Man. However, the doctor was not angry. He turned around and looked at Spider-Man, who was panting not far behind him.

"It seems I can't kill you today, but you can't stop me either. So let your man very roughly wake up his men and leave the bank with the gold bars and cash he has collected."

Spider-Man, seeing this, was about to run after him when he suddenly sensed danger approaching. He immediately jumped back and turned around to see an arrow stuck where he had just been standing, nearly half of the arrow shaft embedded in Li Jian's body. This showed how powerful the arrow was.

Spider-Man frowned. Of course, no one noticed this because of the original meaning of the mask. After all, reality is not like the comics, where people wear masks and the white eyes on the masks can change according to their emotions.

"Why are you stopping me?" Spider-Man looked at the blond man in a black bodysuit carrying a quiver who appeared at the bank entrance.

The blond man said expressionlessly, "Is this what you say to your savior? I just saved your life."

"So what?" Spider-Man retorted. "Should I let Dr. Otto leave just because you saved my life? Please step aside. The doctor is currently controlled by his own mechanical arm. I have to stop him before things get out of control."

“I didn’t say you couldn’t stop Doctor Octopus—oh, that’s the name the media gave him. They’re quick on that, aren’t they?” The blond man said expressionlessly, subtly blocking Spider-Man’s path, and continued, “But not now.”

Spider-Man said coldly, "Why not now? What exactly is your purpose?"

The blond man waved his hand and said, "You've misunderstood me, Spider-Man. I'm not a bad guy. I'm an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. The reason I stopped you is because you can no longer fight. I saw the battle just now, and you were involved yourself, so you should know how powerful Dr. Otto is."

Spider-Man shook his head and said, "I know my own body. Please step aside; we can't let the doctor continue his evil deeds." Spider-Man vaguely sensed a conspiracy, but couldn't immediately figure out what it was.

Seeing that his words had no effect, the blond man seemed a little annoyed. The bow in his left hand trembled slightly as he said, "Listen, Spider-Man. You can't go over there now. This is an order from S.H.I.E.L.D. If you disobey this order, you're going against the entire United States. You'd better stay here quietly or go home immediately and don't show your face in New York City!"

"Oh my god!!!" Spider-Man seemed to be frightened by the blond man, and knelt on the ground as if begging for mercy, saying, "No, I don't want to become the enemy of the people, I don't want to, I became a superhero so that others would admire me and believe in me, I'm so scared, waa ...

With a snap, the blond man nearly ground his teeth to powder. He wasn't stupid; it wasn't hard to see that Spider-Man was playing a trick on him. Almost instantly, he flipped his right hand, nocked an arrow, and shot it away. The target was Spider-Man, who was kneeling on the ground, engrossed in his clown act.

"Oh, you attacked so quickly?" Spider-Man dodged the blond man's attack using his spider-sense, chuckled a few times, then his voice turned extremely serious as he asked in a deep voice, "Tell me, what does S.H.I.E.L.D. plan to do while Adam is unconscious? Are you having Dr. Otto repeat the experiment from that day to see if you can create a weapon that can harm Superman?"

Spider-Man saw that the man in front of him seemed angry, but his eyes were very calm. He could tell that something was wrong with the whole incident. After a little analysis, he roughly guessed S.H.I.E.L.D.'s plan. The reason why they let Dr. Otto go and stopped him was to make Dr. Otto repeat the experiment that day and see if they could find what could make Superman unconscious.

The blond man remained unchanged, shaking his head calmly and saying, "I don't know what you're talking about. You seem to be mistaken. S.H.I.E.L.D. and Adam Stark have a very good relationship."

Spider-Man chuckled and said, "It seems your intelligence system is outdated. You didn't know that Superman and I are good friends. Otherwise, you wouldn't have said things like S.H.I.E.L.D. and Adam Stark have a good relationship. Let me guess, you must be on Nick Fury's side. It seems he finally stopped hiding in South Africa and ran out as soon as he saw Superman unconscious."

At this moment, the blond man's expression changed slightly. He looked at Spider-Man and said, "Are you stalling for time? I didn't expect you to be able to send out information about this place while the signal was blocked. I really underestimated you."

Spider-Man wasn't angry when his little tricks were discovered. He was indeed stalling for time. When he realized that some people were preparing to have Dr. Otto restart the experiment, he started sending messages to Vanguard. Unfortunately, he found that the signal was blocked. So he had to keep talking to buy time while using the new program that Athena gave him to send a message to Athena. Of course, he also had the idea of ​​taking the opportunity to restore the operation. After all, fighting Dr. Otto, who had an adamantium mechanical arm, was not an easy task.

“Signal blocking, it seems many people have used this trick on Superman, and it did successfully delay him for a long time. But unfortunately, from that moment on, Superman has been trying to avoid this problem.” Spider-Man bluntly revealed what was considered a secret, then chuckled and said, “That’s right, I’m stalling for time, and I’ve already sent out the situation here.”

"Looks like you're prepared to go against the entire S.H.I.E.L.D. or even the entire nation," the blond man said, looking at Spider-Man with a sharp gaze. "Looks like in the end, we'll have to resort to force to solve the problem."

Spider-Man shrugged and said, "That's right, force is the key to solving the problem at this time. Damn it, they actually launched a sneak attack!!! And it was a sniper!!!" Barely dodging the sniper bullet that suddenly came from outside, Spider-Man couldn't help but curse.

“Since you know S.H.I.E.L.D.,” the blond man pulled a pair of sunglasses from his collar and put them on, slowly saying, “you should know that S.H.I.E.L.D. is a war department, not a police department. Therefore, don’t be surprised by any kind of sneak attack. Winning the war by any means necessary is what we agents do.” After speaking, his hands moved quickly, and one after another, the Spider-Man’s slingshots flew towards him almost non-stop.

Spider-Man, wary of the snipers lurking in the shadows, constantly used his speed and spider-sense to evade the blond man's attacks, thinking with considerable frustration: 'Damn it, I must have forgotten to check the almanac before going out today, though I don't know what that is. Why isn't Harry here yet? And what about Athena's promised support? Is she trying to sabotage me? Probably not, right? I only teased her and Adam a bit; she shouldn't hold a grudge.'

The blond man felt humiliated upon seeing this and said, "Damn it, how dare you look down on me and be distracted during the battle! You bastard, die!!!" With that, he unleashed a torrent of arrows from his quiver at Spider-Man.

Faced with this situation, Spider-Man calmly analyzed the situation: 'It seems this guy isn't the Hawkeye Adam mentioned. Their personalities don't match at all. But I didn't expect S.H.I.E.L.D. to be so full of hidden talents. Someone I've never even heard of possesses such power. Could he be a mutant? Should I try that thing?' Thinking this, Spider-Man decided to give it a shot.
