Chapter 1776: Gap and Killer (Please Give Me a Monthly Ticket!!! Please Subscribe!)
New York.
This city never lacks news, and it will never be peaceful. For example, recently, a dangerous person suddenly appeared in the city - Spider Killer!
It sounds like the name of an insecticide or a pest control company. In fact, this guy is a super villain. This guy's appearance is very strange. It is said that the witnesses at the beginning insisted that he was some kind of alien and came to invade the earth... In the past, this statement was 99% considered a lie or sensationalism, but the problem is that aliens really exist and have really invaded the earth, so this statement caused a lot of panic at the beginning.
Although people can treat those monsters with a normal heart, they really don't want to encounter alien invasions.
After all, the last invasion of New York did not cause much loss, it was purely luck. If you don't believe it, look at London. Think about it, the dark elves made a big fuss in London, which caused London's most historical and prosperous urban area to be reimbursed by one-third, and the reconstruction has not been completed until now (of course, it is also related to the pitfall efficiency of Daiying).
So if possible, New Yorkers don't want to experience another alien invasion.
But soon, this statement was broken. Because someone took a frontal photo of that guy, and also took a photo of his conversation with Spider-Man... This guy speaks English.
Then everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Aliens don't speak English!
Now Americans know that Hollywood movies are all lies, and the whole universe doesn't speak English...
But this doesn't reduce other people's interest in Spider-Slayer.
After all, this guy is too eye-catching. This guy has a mechanical lower body, and his hands also have very obvious signs of transformation. His fists are mechanical, and various weapons have been transplanted into his arms. There are four sharp limbs on his shoulders and back. The four extra limbs have obvious insect characteristics, and it looks like a half-man, half-insect!
I have to say that the police are still very powerful and quickly found out the details of this guy.
His real name is Alistair Smythe! He is a genius scientist who specializes in mechanical inventions. But as to why he became like this and why he targeted Spider-Man, the police did not get much information on this aspect. After all, this guy has a very small social circle. When his father was still alive, he could still chat with his father's colleagues and friends, but after his father passed away.
He was completely closed and had basically no social circle. The only thing that could be checked was the records on the Internet. This guy was just a otaku, either tinkering with his own little inventions in his basement or making some extreme remarks on the Internet.
Although this guy has a high degree of education, his thoughts are quite extreme. A typical antisocial element.
But then he disappeared, and no one knew where he went.
The above is the information given by the police.
But in reality, this guy's experience is quite rich. And speaking of it, he and his father both have an extraordinary connection with Spider-Man. His father's name is Spencer Smythe, a genius scientist, and Ariste Smythe was paralyzed in his lower limbs due to polio when he was a child.
In order to make his son normal again, his father joined Osborn's Biological Research Center. Mainly studying limb and nerve regeneration, well, doing the work of Dr. Lizard in parallel time and space.
Maybe it was the persistence of scientists that caused Spencer to devote all his time to research and neglect his family. And Ariste also became an obese, greedy and woman-hating scientist because of his father's neglect (because he liked to build rockets with his father since he was a child, he also loved science and taught himself).
For a long time, his father abandoned his family in his crazy pursuit. In the end, his mother cheated because she couldn't stand it and finally divorced his father. Ariste was also sentenced to his father.
Spencer didn't take it to heart, but continued his research.
His research soon made progress, and a new and never-existing spider was born in his laboratory!
This made Spencer very excited. He had planned to use this spider to continue his research-because of the long-term research, but failed to produce any results, which led to the Osborne Group being completely disappointed with it. You know, his research requires a lot of money. Osborne is always a commercial company, and they need to see returns-then the spider disappeared...
In fact, everyone should have guessed it by now.
That spider is the one that bit Peter!
But after biting Peter, it was slapped to death by Peter.
So the spider was gone.
Without the results, anyone could guess what Osborn would do. The project was cut and Spencer lost his job.
Decades of achievements were lost in one day!
This was not the most troublesome thing. The most troublesome thing was that Spencer used radiation for this mutant spider. After all, radiation can indeed induce mutations, but in the process, Spencer was also affected by radiation.
This caused him to suffer from cancer soon after his career, the late stage.
But it was also in the last moments of his life that Spencer noticed Spider-Man!
Others may not really understand the preciousness of mutant spiders, but Spencer knows! He instinctively felt that Spider-Man was the thief - he had always insisted that his research results were stolen, and the Osborn Group naturally could not believe such an unrestrained statement. After all, how could such a precious test sample disappear for no reason?
Those who do scientific research naturally know that the scientific research circle is not as pure as the outside world thinks, and there are many dirty things in it. It is not that the burning of the dragon warehouse has never happened, and it has happened a lot. There is nothing new in the world, and all problems can find similar prototypes in history.
Naturally, everyone does not believe Spencer's statement.
Just think that this is his excuse, which is also the reason why Osborn dismissed him without respect... If you can't give results, it is at most a failure, but it is a bit unkind for you to play with the burning of the dragon warehouse. What? Still want to continue to cheat funds.
So he decisively fired him. Not giving a bit of respect.
So Spencer was very, very angry, and he vowed to catch the thief.
For this, he offended his former students, colleagues, and friends. Because he looked like a thief to everyone, who could stand this? So Spencer was completely penniless, but the more this happened, the more he hated the thief.
The appearance of Spider-Man gave him hope.
He wanted to catch the thief and clear his innocence!
Unfortunately, he didn't have enough time. His physical condition was already like that, and he was so emotionally unstable and refused to cooperate with treatment... It's not surprising that he died. In the end, he died very unwillingly.
So, Alistair blamed Spider-Man for his father's death, and inherited his father's legacy and hatred for Spider-Man. In order to avenge Spider-Man, Smythe chose a criminal career and got a job with Silver Mane, the new gangster boss in New York, and became his good helper. At the same time, he also began to use the sources of information from the crime boss to track Spider-Man, and with the financial support of Silver Mane, he used his knowledge and his father's research results to transform himself.
He used machinery to replace his lower limbs so that he could stand up. Then he used biotechnology to transform his body into a biological weapon.
It can be said to be an extremely crazy character.
At the same time, Silver Mane also confronted superheroes, including Spider-Man.
Isn't this a coincidence?
So the Spider Killer appeared and fell in love and hate with Spider-Man.
This thing is much more interesting than the war in the corners of the Middle East, so the whole of New York was attracted.
...
"I say, are all kids so cruel now?" In Stark Tower, Spider-Man and Green Goblin were both stuffed into the medical cabin.
Both of them were seriously injured, obviously caused by a fight to the death.
That's why Tony said that.
After Dr. Helen was sent to the center of the earth, the medical laboratory in Stark Tower was actually dead in name only, after all, the core was gone. Although Tony is a generalist, he is still slightly inferior to Dr. Helen in the medical field. After all, everyone has their own expertise. Tony puts most of his energy on other things, and naturally spends less time on medical research.
However, the medical cabin was still left and became the "resurrection point" for many superheroes.
Street heroes have the medical station of the midnight nurse, and other superheroes also have to have a place for treatment. Tony's place is the best choice.
Gwen finally felt relieved after watching the data of the two medical cabins calm down.
"That guy is a lunatic. When he saw Peter, he was like crazy and didn't care about his life. Harry was also like this to save Peter... Who knows what's wrong with that guy." Gwen was also very depressed.
It's not the first or second time that Spider-Killer has troubled Spider-Man.
But they never found out what the Spider-Killer had to do with Peter, and Peter didn't remember who he had offended... He was a high school student, how could he have time to offend anyone? They were about to go to college.
During this time, Peter and his friends were preparing for college. They needed to understand college, and American high school students needed to understand the admission requirements of different universities. Each university has different admission standards, including grades, courses, standardized test scores, letters of recommendation, etc. Therefore, students need to understand and determine the specific requirements of the university they are applying for in advance.
And the standards of each university are different every year, so these need to be understood as much as possible... This reflects the benefits of Midtown High School. As one of the best high schools in the country, they have enough channels to understand the requirements of various universities and can provide the best guidance to all students.
Ordinary high schools... They can only understand some general news. It is impossible for others to contact many university admissions officers like Midtown High School. This is the difference.
In addition, in order to meet the admission requirements of the university, students need to develop corresponding academic plans. This includes choosing courses of appropriate difficulty, maintaining good grades, participating in academic competitions, etc. In addition, students can also choose to take AP courses or IB courses to improve their academic level.
Don't listen to those shady guys who say that American universities don't look at grades, that's absolutely nonsense. On the contrary, the first criterion that American universities value is grades. If your grades are terrible, then you have no chance of getting into the future.
They say they don't value grades, but that's just relatively speaking. They don't just value grades.
So grades are a must, which determines what level of university you're going to. For example, some community colleges...there's nothing to say about that. You can still go in even if your grades are terrible.
But for top universities, unless you have a very strong background, you'd better study hard! Before applying to college, students need to prepare for standardized tests such as the SAT or ACT. These test scores are crucial for college admission, so students need to prepare in advance and strive to achieve excellent grades.
But in addition to grades, other things are also very important. In addition to academic performance, universities also focus on students' extracurricular activities and leadership. Therefore, students need to actively participate in school clubs, volunteer activities, sports, etc. to show their comprehensive qualities.
This is definitely a plus point. After all, those top universities will not value whether you are a few points higher than others, after all, there are many full marks. It also depends on your ability to act, leadership, etc.
Midtown High School is definitely a top high school, and there are many arrangements for this... Do you think that top high schools only have teaching staff? No, social forces are also extremely important. They can organize and contact many activities and arrange students to participate.
So many students at Midtown High School started preparing as early as their senior year (four years of high school in the United States). Peter and his classmates are academic masters, and although they still have one year to graduate, they have also started preparing. They are so busy, where do they have time to offend people?
Even in the past, with Peter's behavior... it was good enough that others didn't bully him, how could he have the courage to bully others, let alone make enemies with others.
"Look at that guy, he wants to die with Peter. I don't know what Peter did to have such a big hatred with others." Gwen really felt strange. She knew Peter very well.
To be honest, Peter's personality is not very popular in any high school in the United States.
American high school students don't like otakus. They like extroverted and strong people. Basically, the most popular boys in every high school are on the football team, especially the quarterbacks, who are basically the kind of children with good academic performance and strong physique.
Just like every high school queen is on the cheerleading team, it is basically a fixed format.
And what about Peter?
He is short (even after becoming Spider-Man, he didn't grow much taller, and he still looks thin. Although he has lumps of flesh, no one can tell without taking off his clothes), shy, likes science and games, has almost no athletic talent... and even has myopia (before becoming Spider-Man).
He is definitely the most easily bullied in school.
If you say that this kind of person offends others, it is possible, but to this extent... it is basically impossible.
At this time, your comprehensive quality is very important.
