19. Dr. Connors
Dr. Connors is a visiting professor at the State University of New York who occasionally lectures students on biogenetics, and he also has his own independent laboratory, funded by Osborne Industries, whose owner, Norman Osborne, is interested in Connors' ongoing research.
It was a technical study on the rebirth of amputated limbs, which had a broad prospect and market for medical applications, which was why Norman Osborne allocated a large amount of research funds to Connors every year in an attempt to complete this epoch-making research project.
Connors walked out of the office with a sad face, he was once a military doctor, he was drafted into the army during the war, sent to the front line to treat the wounded, but was seriously injured in a large explosion, in order to save his life, he had to amputate an arm, and later returned to the university, he began to work hard to study the regeneration system of reptiles, and delved into the knowledge of the field of biological genetics, all in order to restore the mutilation of his body.
After years of painstaking research, Connors had seen a glimmer of light, and many scientific difficulties had been successfully overcome, and he firmly believed that if he gave himself more time, he could complete the research on the rebirth technology of amputated limbs.
But at this most critical moment, Osborne Industries interrupted its financial support for the laboratory, and Connors inquired to know that the emerging industrial giant had recently encountered a lot of trouble, with an avalanche of stock prices declining, and unfavorable news that it would be split and acquired.
This put Connors in an awkward position, obviously only one step away from success, but due to lack of funding, it was difficult to continue the research, which was a heavy blow to him.
Thinking that most of his life's hard work and hard work were about to turn into a dream bubble, Connors's pale and emaciated cheeks swelled with anger, and he clenched his fists as he looked at the busy interns in the laboratory, his gloomy and iron-blue face slowly turned into helpless depression.
"Good morning, Dr. Connors."
A young boy stood in front of Connors with a warm smile on his face, and the middle-aged man came back to his senses and recognized it as one of his interns.
A smile squeezed out of Connors's stiff face: "Hello, Sean, I have read your paper on cross-species inheritance and biological genes, and I have a lot of ideas. ”
Connors is still very satisfied with this big boy who looks quite sunny, no matter what kind of thing, as long as it is handed over to Sean, he can always do it very well, even if it is a boring job like cleaning up experimental equipment, he is very patient.
Therefore, Connors has always admired this young boy, thinking that when his research is successful and he reaps the coveted honor and glory, he officially recruits Sean into the research laboratory and hands over some real core research work.
Now that everything is empty talk, without the funding of Osborne Industries, it is completely impossible to continue the unfinished research work, and the future prospects in my mind have now become the moon in the water, the flower in the mirror, illusory and fragile.
Sean looked at Dr. Connors with his back and couldn't help but feel strange, could it be that he triggered Dr. Lizard's plot?
In the original timeline, this mutual, one-armed middle-aged man, for a series of reasons, like the desperate Norman Osborne, used himself to conduct human experiments, and as a result, mutated into a giant humanoid lizard.
The reason why Sean joined Connors's laboratory was just to find a reasonable excuse for his future achievements, otherwise a guy who had no systematic education and no scientific knowledge at all suddenly came up with scientific research results with great value potential, then it would inevitably cause criticism.
Tony Stark's aura of genius, but with the huge Stark industry and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology degree as a support, in this case, Sean can't be left behind.
He has been waiting for the right moment to get his first springboard, and Osborne Industries, whose stock price has plummeted recently, is one of Sean's targets.
The high-tech equipment on the Green Goblin is the stolen product of Osborne Industries, and the news was sent anonymously by Sean to the Clarion Daily, Norman Osborne ventured to conduct an experiment with human enhancement drugs, but he couldn't control his inner emotions and became a tyrannical and murderous Green Goblin, as long as nothing else, sooner or later he will die in the hands of Spider-Man, and then Harry will naturally take over the company that is on the verge of bankruptcy.
After that, Sean has already prepared a plan to deal with it, if he wants to transform himself from an ordinary kid in New York to a big man like Tony Stark, it is not enough to rely on the power brought by the system.
There are too many powerful people with terrible strength in this world, and if you just think that you can rely on the system to beat everything superheroes, you will only end up in a difficult situation of being besieged and killed.
Sean didn't want to be behind the superheroes and S.H.I.E.L.D., being assigned and ordered by the black chief; I don't want to be like Hydra, hiding in a dark and uninhabited corner, planning to confront the Avengers and rule the world.
He wants to forge his own path between superheroes and evil villains, without the constraints of S.H.I.E.L.D. and without the threat of Hydra, in order to achieve this goal, Sean not only needs strong strength, but also has to have a strong enough position - a huge force composed of wealth and power, so he hid in the shadows and designed Norman Osborne, believing that Mr. Green Goblin was dealing with the crisis encountered by the company at this time.
"If Spider-Man doesn't solve the Green Goblin, should I do it?" Sean nodded his chin in thought.
In case the timeline changes due to the interference of the butterfly effect, and the Green Goblin still lives well, it will be quite detrimental to Sean's plan, compared to Harry, who is easy to control, the scheming Norman Osborne is not easy to handle.
"Peter, don't let me down." Sean changes into a white lab uniform and starts a new day.
Catching a glimpse of the blonde girl walking towards him, he restrained the coldness in his eyes, and immediately changed his face to a pleasant smile, looking like a harmless sunny boy.
"Hey Gwen, I thought you'd stay home and rest for a while." Sean looked at the blonde girl with big blinking eyes and greeted with concern.
This Spider-Man's first girlfriend, at this time with a bag in both hands, with a slightly shy expression on her pretty face, Sean inexplicably felt that the atmosphere had become subtle, and there seemed to be some kind of ambiguous feeling permeating.
"Here's your clothes, I'll wash them for you...... Thank you. The girl said in a voice like a mosquito, if it weren't for Sean's hearing, she really didn't know what she said.
The young boy took the bag and found that it was the blazer he had put on the blonde girl the last time he had saved her, and he had forgotten about it after that.
"Well, I just did what I was supposed to do, and anyone in that situation would choose to step up."
Sean didn't know that his seemingly humble appearance could win the girl's favor even more, and Gwen decided that the young boy was a steady and not vain person, and an inexplicable joy welled up in his heart.
The two men laughed at each other and walked into a busy lab when, in Connors's private office, the one-armed doctor looked struggling and seemed hesitant to make a risky decision.
