Chapter 129: Lightning: Do you understand Spider-Man, or do I understand Spider-Man?
A few days later.
Bant and Mary Jane went to school together. Peter was a little faster than the other two and waited for the bus at the platform in advance.
Mary Jane smiled and said, "I didn't expect that you would still take the school bus to go to school even though you own a company."
“I don’t want to be too conspicuous,” Bant said.
This is true.
He didn't want to change his original life trajectory just because he had money. Besides, Aunt May and Uncle Ben still lived in Queens. If his identity was exposed, the lives of the two elderly people would also be affected.
Apart from anything else, Mary Jane's aunt probably wouldn't dare to come up and talk to Aunt May when she saw her.
As for safety issues, Bant has been modifying and upgrading those steel robots in the past few days.
With the wisdom of the little warriors and the help of the shapeshifters, this is not difficult.
The original steel robot was too bulky.
Bant's main job is to remove the completely unnecessary heavy shells designed to distinguish him from Iron Man, in order to achieve the purpose of reducing the burden.
In addition, Bant also removed their heavy weapons.
After all, Bant bought them not to transform them into weapons, but to protect Uncle Ben and Aunt May, so those weapons that were supposed to be used in war were naturally useless.
In contrast, Bant installed various protective equipment in their bodies, such as the energy shield mentioned above, which is indispensable.
In addition, the original ammunition has been converted into medical kits, and a lot of anti-reconnaissance and medical knowledge has been implanted in their system, so they can provide medical assistance at any time.
Of course, counterattacking the enemy is also an essential step.
But again, Hammer's weapons are only suitable for indiscriminate bombing attacks on the battlefield, not for combat in cities.
It would be much better if we replaced it with laser weapons with more concentrated energy.
It is lighter, more powerful, and can reduce damage to the surrounding area.
The only problem is that those steel robots are still too big.
Bant couldn't let them follow Uncle Ben and Aunt May all the time, so he just asked them to carry alarms so that if there was any emergency, the Iron Warriors would be dispatched immediately.
"I'll get in the car first."
As the two were talking, the school bus arrived. Peter waved to them and got on first.
Bant and Mary Jane followed immediately.
Once in the car, Lightning stood up and waved at Bant as if he had been waiting for him.
"Ben, did you go to the Expo? I never thought something like that would happen. I heard Spider-Man showed up too!"
Lightning's face was full of regret.
He wasn't interested in expositions in the first place, so he didn't take it seriously at all.
But the next day, when the Daily Bugle took the photo of Spider-Man taken by Peter and spread the fake news that Spider-Man caused trouble at the Stark World Expo, Flash realized what he had missed.
He missed a great opportunity to meet his idol!
"I went, but I didn't see Spider-Man. I only went to Primus Hall." Bant nodded calmly, refusing Lightning's offer to push away the seat that Liz gave him, and sat in another place with Mary Jane.
Today, the identity of Primus's boss remains a mystery to ordinary people.
As Bant said, he doesn't want to be too conspicuous.
Lightning put one arm on the back of the seat, turned his head and said, "Then you went there in vain."
"By the way, do you know Hacker? He's the black Spider-Man. The Daily Bugle reported that Spider-Man called him Hacker." He asked again.
"I heard a little bit, what's wrong?"
"We were just discussing, who do you think is more powerful between these two Spider-Men?" asked Lightning.
His question attracted many people's attention in the school bus, although a large number of people had already focused their attention when Bant got on the bus.
Obviously, they had already talked about this issue tirelessly before.
At this moment, even Peter couldn't help but look at Bant.
In his opinion, Bant was obviously much stronger than him. It was not like he had never fought with Bant before, but in terms of ability, even if he used all his strength, he was no match for Bant.
At the beginning, Bant won only because of his better fighting skills, but gradually, Peter discovered that the panels between the two of them were different.
Bant's strength was obviously much greater than his.
Apart from that, he is not as good as Bant in other aspects. For example, even his spider suit was made with the help of Bant, otherwise he might still be wearing baby pajamas now!
But even so, he wanted to hear what Bant had to say about him.
"Who is stronger between the two Spider-Men?"
Bant was a little surprised, but he also felt it made sense. As expected, no matter which universe it is, comparing combat power is a topic that people can never escape from.
So he said calmly:
"Of course Spider-Man is more powerful."
He was referring, of course, to Peter.
"What?" Peter seemed to be surprised that Bant would say that he thought he was stronger, so he showed a surprised expression.
On the other hand, Lightning, upon hearing Bant's approval of Spider-Man, showed a proud smile on his face: "See, Ben and I have the same opinion. He is indeed my good buddy!"
But obviously, other people don't see it the same way.
Peter, in particular, was confused as to why Bant would say he was stronger, so he said:
"Spider-Man and the Green Goblin fought for more than a month, but he was unable to defeat the Green Goblin. However, the Hacker only appeared once and defeated him directly..."
Lightning interrupted:
"Shut up Peter, do you understand Spider-Man or do I understand Spider-Man?!"
As he spoke, he showed off his T-shirt with a Spider-Man cartoon pattern printed on the chest.
Peter: ...
"Actually, what Flash said is right," Bant took over the topic and said, "If we evaluate Spider-Man's strength simply based on power and strength, it would be too superficial."
"That's right!"
Lightning nodded seriously.
“Maybe hackers are powerful, Iron Man is powerful, but Spider-Man is the real hero. He is the only one who will help every citizen of New York. When all the superheroes are focusing on those huge crises, only Spider-Man will care about how your day is going.”
I have to say, Flash really understands Spider-Man.
These words directly moved Peter.
He really couldn't have imagined that Lightning would speak up for him so righteously, which made him feel that everything he had done during this period of time was worth it.
Being a good neighbor in New York doesn't seem like a bad thing.
"Peter, you look so disgusting, stay away from me!" Lightning pushed Peter away with a look of disgust on his face. Then he prepared to continue promoting his idol to others.
But at this moment, a hand reached out from outside the screen and hooked his shoulder.
Bant came over and asked in a bad tone, "Lightning, where did you buy these Spider-Man clothes?"
Hateful!
Don’t you see that if the real Spider-Man doesn’t have his own support, he can only sell photos to support himself?
How dare these abominable capitalists sell clothes with Spider-Man's pattern printed on them without Spider-Man's consent? How despicable!
There must be severe punishment!
Isn’t it agreed that foreign countries pay more attention to copyright?
It seems not necessarily.
"You mean this? I bought it from Nike." Lightning said, "I heard that there will be a hacker version in a while. It's a pity that they don't have an Iron Man version, otherwise I can collect all the heroes."
Bant:?
"Good good!"
He nodded angrily, then picked up his phone and sent a message to Eunice.
Obviously, the other party regarded himself and Peter as soft persimmons, thinking that a masked hero like Spider-Man would never cause trouble for them, so they dared to be so unscrupulous.
In contrast, heroes like Tony Stark wouldn't dare to do that.
He hasn't even started to enjoy the fame and fortune that comes with being Spider-Man, but someone else has gotten there first?
The death penalty must be the death penalty!
After receiving the news from Bant, Eunice immediately began to prepare to contact the legal department to sue the other company for infringement.
Of course.
I have to find Peter and ask him to dress up as Spider-Man and give me an authorization. From now on, all Spider-Man peripherals can only be released by Primus!
After doing all this, Bant patted Lightning's shoulder heavily and said with heartache:
"Lightning, don't you know that this suit is a pirated copy? They don't even have the copyright to Spider-Man. This is a serious infringement of Spider-Man's basic rights!
"As Spider-Man's biggest fan, how can you wear their clothes? This is simply blasphemy against Spider-Man! Do you think Spider-Man would support such a company that infringes on other people's rights?"
Hearing this, Lightning was stunned.
"you're right!"
He immediately wanted to tear off his T-shirt, but Bant stopped him.
"There's no need to be so anxious. Just remember that Spider-Man has already reached a cooperation with Primus. From now on, all genuine Spider-Man peripherals will be sold by Primus."
Peter:? ? ?
He didn't know when he started cooperating with Primos, but in a sense, all his battle suits were made in Primos, so of course whatever Bant said was the truth.
Lightning nodded, then asked doubtfully: "But how did you know? Could it be that..."
He glanced at Bant suspiciously:
"Could it be possible that you are actually Spider-Man?"
"I'm not, I didn't." Bant quickly denied.
Lightning didn't doubt Bant's explanation. He just said it casually, like the scene in the movie where a superhero is right next to me. He didn't think Bant was really Spider-Man.
But he was still very confused: "You are not Spider-Man, how did you know such a confidential matter? Are you Primos' boss?"
Bant: ???
Peter on the side burst out laughing.
Bant glanced over from the corner of his eye, then slapped his forehead and said:
"It was said by a friend of mine, who happens to be an internal member of Primus."
in fact.
When Bant saw that Peter dared to laugh at him, he was about to tell Flash that he was actually Spider-Man's personal photographer, coming to divert the fire.
But after a little thought, Bant gave up the idea.
Although, Primus has developed to this point, even if Peter really wants to reveal his identity, there is no need to worry at all.
Those criminals who turned their targets to Uncle Ben or Aunt May in order to attack Spider-Man, if they really dared to do so, those Iron Soldiers would let them know what firepower coverage is!
It would be even more interesting if some idiots set their sights on him.
Bant said that they can choose any alien hero in the watch, and there are hundreds of different ways of dying that can be freely combined. The King of Sakaar said it was a good idea after using it!
But it is better to have less trouble than more.
You know, Jameson never wrote Peter's name under the photo in the Daily Bugle. In addition to wanting to control this guy who could get Spider-Man's photo at any time, it was also a kind of protection for Peter.
When a group of people arrived at the school, they were almost speechless due to the shock of the newly built school.
The original Midtown High School was just a public school. Although it wasn’t too bad, it wasn’t much better either.
However, now, Central City High School has become extremely prosperous, and even the entrance gate is built like a triumphal arch.
"Isn't this too exaggerated?"
"It's Osborne's money," Bant explained. "Uncle Norman plans to have Harry transfer to another school and study with us."
Originally, Harry studied in a private school.
However, Norman found that the so-called elite education did not seem to make Harry grow up. On the contrary, the contact with Bant and Peter in the past few months made Harry grow a lot.
Harry has always been fully responsible for Primus' mobile phone business, and he has also shown his talent in the promotion of Primus cars.
Using the farce of the Stark Expo as a stage to showcase the car's energy shield is a clever idea.
So, Norman decided to just transfer Harry to Midtown High School to study with Bant and Peter.
So, while Midtown High School was being rebuilt, he simply donated some money, which was also compensation to Connors, a former Osborn employee, for destroying the school.
But it seems that the money was spent on the knife handle...
After a few people walked through the gate, they immediately walked back from the luxurious facade to the originally simple campus.
"I can't understand why he would build an escalator for a two-story cafeteria, but only stairs for a six-story dormitory?"
Peter found this ridiculous.
Bant saw the essence of the matter at a glance.
"Silly boy, the leaders don't have to go to the student dormitories, but they still have to eat."
"I just wish there was air conditioning in the classroom," Mary Jane said. "By the way, class, there's always time to come and see us rehearse, right?"
Hearing this, Ben Te nodded and said, "Okay, when you become famous in the future, I will let you be the image spokesperson for Primos."
"Come on, I don't plan to be a star in the future." Mary Jane shook her head.
She used to think about becoming an actress or a singer, but now she has given up and playing in a band is just a hobby.
Hearing this, Bant was a little surprised:
"what happened?"
Mary Jane said angrily, "I heard from Felicia that if those female stars want to be famous, few of them don't have the support of capital. The price is that they have to accept the unspoken rules. It's disgusting."
She shook her head, her fiery red hair swinging, and angrily denounced the sickness of society.
"This is easy. I happen to be the capital." Bant pointed at himself.
"Miss Mary Jane, would you like me to support you?"
"Are you trying to stand up for me?"
Mary Jane rolled her eyes and said, you are obviously just greedy for my body, bah, you are cheap!
I'm embarrassed to expose you!
"Just tell me whether you are willing or not!"
"Well, of course I do!"
