Chapter 243: The Fantastic Four
"yes, Ben, it's great to be in space for a few days."
"What bad happens?"
Brooklyn Bridge.
Ben's situation is a bit bad, and the space storm has also changed his DNA, even more completely. Turns him into a stone monster with an orange appearance.
Looking for his girlfriend with this appearance, Ben's next encounter is naturally conceivable, facing his girlfriend who screamed and panicked so much that he turned around and ran away, Ben was hit very hard, and even had the idea of jumping directly off the Brooklyn Bridge.
In fact, he is also planning to put this idea into action.
It's just that, apparently, there is a slight deviation in this idea of his.
In order to save a middle-aged man who also planned to commit suicide by jumping into the sea, he spoke out to stop it, but he didn't want his current weird stone figure shape to directly scare the other party into retreating, and finally stepped on the air and fell into the middle of the bridge deck lane of the Brooklyn Bridge by mistake.
Not long after the Battle of New York ended, the appearance of this moment was no different from an alien in the eyes of a middle-aged man.
Although he is ready to commit suicide, there is still a difference between jumping into the sea and being killed by aliens.
Seeing the man who landed in the middle of the road, the kindness in his heart finally overwhelmed the thoughts of suicide, and his heavy body left two deep holes on the bridge deck, and he was about to help the frightened middle-aged man up, when a heavy truck drove in the direction where the two were located.
Looking at the two people who appeared on the bridge, the truck driver almost subconsciously stepped on the brakes, but he still couldn't resist the inertia, and he was about to crash into them.
Faced with such a thrilling situation, Ben didn't have time to react for a while, and instinctively turned his shoulder and crashed into the approaching train.
Then, an astonishing scene happened.
Relying on the powerful body of the mutant roar, Ben actually forced the whole full-moving, oncoming dozens of tonnage trucks to stop on the spot. Not only that, because of the inertia, the wheels of the large truck are directly lifted, the body is leaning forward, and a huge groove even appears directly on the huge iron front of the truck.
In the face of such an astonishing scene, pedestrians on both sides of the Brooklyn Bridge let out exclamations, raised their mobile phones and began to film.
Although the superheroes in New York have become more and more active since the appearance of the Avengers, many people are still surprised to see Ben's terrifying power so closely.
Ben's amazing blow, although he successfully saved the middle-aged man, but along with his action, it also had a serious impact on the traffic on the Brooklyn Bridge, with a series of vehicle crashes, tire punctures, horn sirens, screaming and scolding...... And so on.
At the same time, Reed and his party finally arrived at the Brooklyn Bridge.
It's just that, in the face of the big changes, the police in New York are obviously very nervous.
The alien invasion drama has just ended, and the events in Chinatown have made them feel a little relieved and bring up their nerves again, and now looking at the orange stone people on the Brooklyn Bridge, the police who arrived almost opened fire.
"What should we do?"
Although his appearance has completely changed, Reed and the others still recognize his identity through the vague appearance of the stone man, which is Ben, who has suffered the radiation of the space cosmic storm like everyone else.
Looking at Ben, who was surrounded by the police, Susan said with some concern.
It's just that he didn't have time to come up with a countermeasure, and the next moment, the dangers that occurred on the bridge deck forced Reed and the others to take action to show their superpowers.
Johnny shows his ability to defy fire while protecting a lost girl, and Susan passively activates a hidden second ability, the Stealth Stance, to fend off the hot flames that spew at her from the center of the explosion.
Although it blocked the flames that surged towards him, he was on the outside lane on the right side of the Brooklyn Bridge. An extended fire truck that received an alarm call from the masses and rushed to participate in the rescue operation was obviously affected by the explosion around the road section, and the tire skid without warning and the body slanted out of the main road of the bridge.
The skidding fire truck directly broke the cable-stayed steel cables on both sides of the Brooklyn Bridge, and half of the fire truck's body was knocked out of the bridge deck under the violent inertia. A firefighter who stayed behind the car and was responsible for fiddling with the halter and spraying water to extinguish the fire was caught off guard, lost his balance directly, and slipped and fell from the roof of the fire truck amid the exclamations of everyone nearby, and was about to fall into the sea.
Falling at this distance, the sea surface is almost the same as the concrete floor, and it can also break people's bones.
Seeing that the tragedy was about to be staged, at the critical moment, Reed showed his ability, and his body mutated by the radiation of the space storm has amazing extensibility and plasticity, and under the control of Reed's mind, his hands quickly stretched out like rubber, and he instantly grabbed the firefighter and saved him.
On the other side, Johnny looked at the crumbling fire truck, and without much hesitation, he let go of the little girl in his arms, leaving a sentence of "Stay here and don't move!"
I plan to save the long fire truck that is about to tilt and overturn.
But apparently, despite his superpowers, Johnny still can't stop the fire truck ladder truck from deflecting.
With the passage of time, in just a few seconds, the lengthy carriage, which had gradually stopped and remained stable and immobile, shook violently again in a harsh and unpleasant metal friction sound, causing the middle end of the body to move and fall again, Reed controlled his hands to wrap around the fire truck, but the result was no different, the radiation gave him amazing flexibility, but it did not give him amazing strength.
Seeing it, the whole car was about to fall into the sea.
In a pinch, Ben struck again.
Although the space storm turned him into a stone man with an orange appearance, it also gave him amazing defense and strength. Grabbing the front of the car with both hands, with superhuman strength, Ben snorted, and in the next moment, his heavy body stepped on two deep potholes on the bridge deck, and then with a force of both hands, he pulled the fire truck that had fallen back to the bridge deck again.
Although he saved the lives of a firefighter, Ben's mood was still low.
After all, even if he has superhuman strength, he still can't hide his lost emotions.
This is even more obvious after seeing the three Reeds who also have superpowers, but they still look the same.
Why is he the one who is unlucky?
"I swear to you, Ben, I'll do everything I can to restore you no matter what."
In the face of Ben's disappointed performance, Reed solemnly assured him.
……
"Where are your ears?"
Staying in the makeshift tent set up by the police, Johnny curiously glanced at Ben, who was sitting across from him with a silent expression, showing strong curiosity about his strange appearance. Looking at his bare head, he couldn't help but ask.
Because of Reed's comfort and assurance, Ben, who finally came out of the shadow of broken love, heard Johnny teasing himself in this casual tone, and suddenly felt angry, and couldn't help but glare at the other party fiercely, if it weren't for the fact that his strength at the moment was amazing, but the shot would directly kill Johnny, he almost couldn't help but do it.
Seeing that the stone man ignored him, Johnny raised his eyebrows, and was about to speak again and increase the intensity of the provocation.
Outside the makeshift tent, a black man in charge of a fire brigade uniform came: "Aren't you going out?" Those who were rescued...... And the TV reporters, I want to talk to you again......"
Although, to be serious, everything that happened to the Brooklyn Bridge was actually caused by Ben, but in any case, everything the four did not at least make the situation worse.
Faced with the words of the person in charge, Reed subconsciously frowned and refused: "I'm sorry, we don't plan to make this matter public, we are scientists, not superheroes......"
Although he has superhuman strength, in essence, Reed still feels that he is a scientific researcher, as mentioned before, saving the world is still left to the Avengers, and he just wants to carry out his research work quietly.
"It's too late, man!" The person in charge interrupted Reed's refusal and pointed to the TV in the tent and said, "Look! Whether you like it or not, they now refer to you as the Fantastic Four. ”
……
“…… An extended ladder truck from the New York Fire Department was unfortunately part of the tragedy of this morning's traffic chaos...... But the biggest focus of this incident is not the thrilling consequences caused by the fire brigade's failed rescue case...... It's four guys with super strength like the Avengers, one of the four who can stretch his body limbs to a jaw-dropping exaggeration...... The other is like a ...... all over his body."
In the dimly lit room, Victor's face was a little pale, he looked at the report on the TV screen about the Reed Four, looked down at his fingers, and the next moment, a faint electric current was generated from it.
It seems that the shield did not block the radiation of the space storm, and Victor and Reed and his party mutated at a glance.
……
The appearance of the new superhero 'Fantastic Four' has become the latest topic of conversation in New York in recent days.
However, on the other side, the original superheroes are also protecting the city in their own way.
New York, mid-air.
"Mr. Kidd, the thief, although I used to be a fan of yours before, now, please put down your belongings and take them away."
The little spider relied on spider silk to wander among the high-rise buildings of New York, and said to the white figure driving a glider through the high-rise buildings not far away.
"Otherwise, I'll be rude to you."
Controlling a deflection of the glider and avoiding the tall building in front of him, the strange thief Kidd looked at the little spider on the side, hooked the corners of his mouth, and there was no sense of being a criminal on his face: "Why do you keep chasing me, I shouldn't have stolen your things, right?" ”
"But Mr. Blame Thief, you steal someone else's things, it's a crime, and a crime is punishable."
Raising his eyebrows and hiding his top hat, Kidd looked at Peter with some interest and asked, "How are you going to punish me?" ”
"I haven't figured it out yet."
Hearing the strange thief's inquiry, Peter scratched the head covered by the mask: "However, you should be sent to prison to serve your sentence, Mr. Strange Thief, after all, stealing is a crime." ”
"You're so confident you'll be able to catch me."
Listening to the little spider's eloquent answer to the way he dealt with himself, the strange thief couldn't help but smile slightly and asked.
"Of course."
In this regard, the little spider is not a little modest: "After all, I am not a police officer in New York City. Mr. Strange Thief, don't think you'll be able to escape from my hands so easily. Peter was cautious when confronted by Kidd, a thief who had been active in New York before he gained his powers.
"So, I'm being underestimated by you."
Control the glider in his hand, deflect the direction again, and turn between the tall buildings, the strange thief said indifferently.
Although he has the identity of the monster thief Kidd, it is obvious that the current doppelganger is no longer the original monster thief, and the words of the little spider Peter do not pose much of a threat to him.
"I didn't underestimate you, Mr. Strange Thief."
Using the wall of the tall building as a springboard, the reverberating spider silk blocked in front of the monster thief Kidd, and the little spider's mouth continued: "Actually, I like you quite a lot, Mr. Monster Thief, and even when I was designing my combat uniform, I once referred to your outfit, sir, and wondered if I should add a cloak like you on the back of my uniform. ”
As he spoke, the movements of the little spider's hand did not pause in the slightest, he reached out and pressed the palm of his hand, and in the next second, a special spider silk sticky bomb was launched from the spider silk jet on his wrist and sprayed towards the monster thief on the opposite side.
The left hand was slightly pressed down to avoid the flying spider silk sticky bomb, and the monster thief looked at the little spider in front of him, hooking the corners of his mouth to reveal a faint smile: "Thank you for liking, since that's the case, then I'll also give you a small gift." ”
"A small gift?"
Kidd's reaction made Peter a little confused.
It's clear that he is chasing the other party, and he still wants to give himself a gift.
"And then."
However, before he had time to think about it, the next moment, the little spider saw Kidd, a strange thief flying on a glider on the opposite side, suddenly take out something from the inside of his clothes, throw it at him, and shouted loudly.
Hearing the shouts of the strange thief, Peter subconsciously raised his hand to catch the thing thrown by the other party, felt the hard touch from his fingers, and his face under the mask of the little spider changed, thinking that the bomb was about to get out of his hand, and the next second with a slight cracking sound, the thing in his hand suddenly split into two halves.
