Marvel's Speedster

After entering November, the state university began to host the famous Stark Science Award Ceremony, which is the highest award in the scientific research field for college students in the United States, sponsored by Stark Industries, a world-class military manufacturer. The award has been established for thirty years since Howard Stark was alive. Every year at this time, a famous university will be selected to hold a ceremony to announce the top ten winners of the final award and give them bonuses. This year happens to be round Go to Ross's university as a host.

Under the spotlight, Opadry, the bald executive of Stark Industries, walked to the stage with a big smile and gave an emotional speech.

"I am honored to represent Stark Industries to cooperate with the most outstanding 357 universities in the United States to get close contact with the best young talents on the planet. Although Tony himself cannot be present for reasons that everyone knows, I want to If he was still alive at this moment, his feelings must be the same as mine. Tony is not only my best partner, but also the sole heir to my best friend. I love him like I love my child... Here, on behalf of Mr. Tony Stark, please allow me to pay tribute to all outstanding young people, may God bless America, and may God bless Tony!"

After the speech, Obaday began to present awards to outstanding talents from all over the country under warm applause from the audience. Each of them had made outstanding contributions in the previous year - except for one person.

"...The last one will win the first prize of this year's Stark Science Award for his extraordinary achievements. We invite our youngest genius, a freshman from the State University of New York, Ross Byrne----"

Opadry yelled Ross's name emotionally, and stretched out his hand to lead to the backstage, but the grand prize winner never showed up as expected.

"Ross, Ross?" He shouted a few times, but there was no movement, and the audience began to discuss. At this time, under the prompt of the staff, Obaday found that the winners sneaked away like a free air. ...

Ross, where the hell are you?

At this moment, the guy who was being searched by thousands of eyes in the auditorium was lying comfortably on the campus lawn basking in the sun alone.

With a grass stalk in his mouth, Ross lay comfortably on his back in a large font, closed his eyes and quietly felt the power flowing in his body. The warm sunlight seemed to stimulate the activity of cells, causing them to release a large amount of bioelectricity and chemical energy. can. Energy travels around along the nerves, like a rushing tide, flowing between the muscles and internal organs according to a certain special law, slowly but firmly changing the originally fragile physique.

This is the effect of the Hercules cells he and Connors secretly cultivated in the laboratory. Mutant cells from Juggernaut and Hela cells produced by cancer are mutually integrated and mutated. After separate cultivation, they are finally processed from the most suitable varieties selected from 38 cell subtypes.

Looking back on that time, even Ross can't help but feel the pain. The training process is cumbersome, but it is really troublesome to extract enough tissue from a monster like Juggernaut. Even if he is willing to cooperate, he has to endure the severe headache and dizziness caused by mental exhaustion, and he has to be treated over and over again. Deep Hypnotic Ability and anesthesia can weaken the body's automatic contraction response, and it can only be achieved by using multiple sets of gold cutter heads and powerful laser beams. In contrast, the manipulation of Hela cells is much easier.

The cells originally came from a Virginia cancer patient named Henrietta Lux. Under normal circumstances, normal human cells will die after about 50 divisions. Even after Mutant cells leave the body, they will die if they are not careful like porcelain dolls. However, in 1951, scientists learned from this patient The collected cells did not die, but showed signs of growth, and the number of cells doubled every 24 hours. So people took the first two letters of Lux's surname and first name, named this group of cells "Hela cells", and provided them to research institutions around the world in the years to come, becoming a very important tool in medical research. tool. Decades have passed, although the host has long since died, the cancer cells have been thriving and dividing in various laboratories. It is estimated that more than 50 million tons of Hela cells have been cultivated so far, and their volume is equivalent to more than one hundred buildings. New York Empire State Building.

Based on this immortal, infinitely growing cell, Ross successfully grafted the precious mutant cells step by step like a grafted plant. Since then, he has obtained almost unlimited biological materials and opened the door for further exploration.

When the experiment was successful, the joy in Ross' heart can be imagined.

It can be predicted that he is destined to face countless opponents on the road in the future. These opponents either have a strong official background, or are large organizations and large enterprises with a long history, or they may be unknown at the moment, but will surely become famous in the future. The world's peerless geniuses, resources and luck in all aspects will be inclined to these heavenly favored ones, but as long as he masters the principles of biochemistry of all things, Ross himself can develop great power.

If you have tens of billions of money, so what if you have tens of millions of members?

Mastering the treasure house of Mutant can effectively offset the existing advantages of others-what else in the world is cheaper and has greater potential than biological replication? "Poor man's atomic bomb" refers to ordinary biochemical weapons produced by weak countries, and Ross is approaching the peak of human evolution step by step. He only needs a little patience and a suitable timing , you can completely control them in your hands.

There is nothing wrong with fighting a country with one person.

Only in this magical world would he be given such a large room for development.

In silent meditation, Ross was immersed in the wonderful kingdom, unknowingly forgetting all external things, and single-mindedly guiding the convergence of bioelectric coagulation, under the stimulation of electric current, there was a faint tingling pain wherever he passed, which was the cell It is caused by absorbing nutrients and repairing the body and nerves.

Fail again and again, try again and again, although encountering setbacks constantly, every effort will make a step forward on the previous basis, gradually Ross can clearly feel the growth and metabolism of hundreds of millions of cells, countless damaged muscle fibers After being devoured and reorganized, new shoots sneak out of the head, grow vigorously, and bathe in sunlight together with other new tissues.

This is difficult for Juggernaut himself, but following the law of development of things to explore in a planned way, the active pursuer will definitely surpass the passive accepting party.

When the power was driven for the last time, the tingling sensation along the way has completely disappeared, and there is no abnormality anymore. The whole person seems to have lost weight completely, and he can soar in the wind at any time. At this time, Ross understood that after injecting Hercules cytoplasm The initial evolution of is almost complete.

He felt the new self silently, and issued instructions silently, so a pure and flawless power suddenly radiated from the inside of his body, and flowed throughout his body in an instant. This kind of power is not as violent and ferocious as Juggernaut, nor as greedy and weird as Hela. It is a vibrant, pure power that can be fully mastered, not contaminated by the outside world, and closer to the essence of self.

As soon as this kind of power appeared, the remaining old cells and undigested Hercules cytoplasm actively moved towards them like moths fluttering to flames, and they melted immediately after contacting the new power, and the originally violent power was successfully domesticated and transformed It is the gentle spring water flowing slowly in the body.

Only then did Ross truly possess power, a power that is entirely his own, that cannot be taken away by others, and that will never get out of control.

This is a complete evolutionary process, and it is worth more than accepting any honors and bonuses.

It ended successfully like this, and then Ross opened his eyes, returning to the real world as if waking up from an indescribable dream. When he opened his eyes, he saw a tall blonde standing curiously staring at the sun. On the side, looking down at him condescendingly.

Blinking, he recognizes it's Stark's assistant, whom he met before high school.

"Hey, Miss Potts, you are not a guest in the auditorium, are you here to see me?"

Ross sat up lazily, and casually greeted the pretty assistant.

"Yes, I'm most interested in the boy who dares to throw down the science award trophy and one hundred thousand dollars in cash." The assistant grinned, and the smile was as clean and warm as the sunshine in an autumn afternoon.

So far, Ross has a soft spot for the woman.

As a playboy's personal assistant, she always dresses conservatively, her long hair is neatly tied behind her head, and her slender figure is wrapped in a wide professional skirt. Only from Ross's perspective can she be appreciated those long legs.

This is a woman who is bright on the outside and reserved on the inside - Ross made a conclusion for her in his heart. In the original timeline, she was the one who kept Stark going before and after his disappearance, carefully protecting the influence of the troublemaker playboy, allowing him to focus on his own world while allowing him to create more. Many flowers. Bianyan. Encounter. For Iron Man, this is an indispensable, but often underestimated figure. If possible, Ross would like to include her in his side. Whether as an assistant or a business host, she is an extremely valuable talent, and what is even more rare is that she has no ambitions and does not have to worry about betrayal.

"Are you worried about Mr. Stark? I don't think anything will happen to him." Seeing the tiredness under the assistant's smile, Ross reassured her.

Even if you don't watch the movie, you can guess that Stark is a big fish, and as long as he is not unlucky enough to be killed by mistake on the spot, it is better to save his life for a while than to get him with a dead body. After all, the person who murdered him is not the same party as the one who did it directly, and each has to consider their own interests. If it were Ross, they would only blackmail him harder.

After listening to Ross's comfort, the assistant was more or less relieved. In fact, as smart as she was, she could have thought of this point, but it was more reliable to tell it from others than to guess it privately. From this point of view, the inexperienced Pepper is slowly losing judgment and becoming unconfident in anxiety, which gives Ross a rare opportunity to quietly draw the relationship between the two of them closer.

Since one party did it intentionally and there was no conflict of interest between the two, the blonde girl who had been depressed for many days and could not be dispatched really let go of her guard. The two called each other by first name and revealed their thoughts to him.

"You know, I've been with Tony for many years. He gave me my first job. It hasn't changed from that day until now. Usually, as long as he asks, I am willing to do everything I can, and he is a Someone who doesn't care about a lot of the details of life, who doesn't even know his Social Security number without me reminding him, I'm really worried that he's going to get in trouble."

He was already in big trouble, his chest was opened by shrapnel, he was lucky enough to be rescued by a kind person, and he survived on the car battery - Ross thought to himself, definitely wouldn't say that in his mouth, but kept persuading him.

"With Pepper here, Mr. Stark finally has a loyal person who is willing to think about him. Once there is reliable news, even if he temporarily exceeds the authorization, and assumes some responsibilities afterwards, as long as he can return home safely, it is worth it, right?"

Ross quietly defined Pepper and Stark as an employment relationship, and this kind of conversation technique was closer to hinting. As expected, the tired Pepper's train of thought involuntarily followed his lead.

"...You're right." She seemed to be struggling a bit, as if a beautiful dream had lost its color before it took shape, and fell mercilessly back to the real world. "In exchange for Tony, I can go above and beyond the mandate...whatever it takes."

Her tone was decisive, but Ross keenly noticed that Pepper's position had changed slightly, it was no longer vague and could completely fall to Stark at any time.

Such hints must be done in moderation. Ross accepted it as soon as it was good, and slowly changed the topic. Under his manipulation, Pepper's gloomy mood gradually dissipated, and his anxiety eased, and Ross became more pleasing to the eye for a while.

"Is that your boyfriend?" Suddenly Ross looked into the distance, at the edge of the lawn, a man with a fleshy face was staring at the two with an unkind expression.

"Ah, that's Happy." Pepper just came to her senses, chatting speculatively with Ross, unknowingly she left the people who came with her far away for so long. "Don't get me wrong, he's Tony's driver, my friend and...colleague."

When the word "colleague" was mentioned, Pepper's body trembled slightly as if he had really woken up, and then quickly became nonchalant.

Maybe from this moment, she realized that she was just an employee of Stark...Although this was another misunderstanding, it was very beneficial to Ross.

Ross smiled slightly in his heart, and then, ignoring the man-eating eyes of Habib who approached, he strongly invited Pepper to his dormitory and temporary laboratory to see the recent new results. The young Pepper looked quite cute, and it happened that she had always wanted to absorb Ross into Stark's business, so she readily agreed.

In fact, there are indeed some things worth seeing in Ross, and it is not the biological field that people think he is good at, but the manual production of mechanical engineering and software programs, such as car models that can shapeshifting, and general services. A large computer assembled by itself with accessories, and an artificial intelligence that has begun to take shape---- these things are no strangers to Pepper, Tony Stark's collection room has similar things, think of today's The act of fleeing the award ceremony made her feel more and more that there was something familiar to her in Ross.

"I've been reading Mr. Stark's early papers recently. The works he published in Massachusetts during his college days gave me a lot of inspiration. Maybe the level of technology today is higher than that of the time, but re-walking the path of the predecessors sometimes gives people With a new experience. Although the conditions are not sufficient now, I think that one day I will reproduce his achievements."

Instead of chatting with her, Ross stared at Pepper's beautiful blue eyes calmly, speaking every word very clearly.

Looking into Ross's clear eyes, Pepper suddenly felt flustered.
