Superman in the Marvel Universe

The Empire State Building is a famous skyscraper on Fifth Avenue in New York City. On the roof of this nearly 500-meter-high building, two figures stand shoulder to shoulder.

In New York at night, the lights are dim. Looking down from the top of the building, the traffic flow on the criss-crossing streets is like a long dragon with no end in sight, and the lights are flickering, which is extraordinarily bright.

At this time, Hodge was floating next to the antenna at the top of the Empire State Building, and beside him was Parker who was attached to the antenna.

The location of Hodge and Parker is just right to see the entire financial center of New York. The night wind is cold, and it feels very refreshing to blow on the face.

"Doesn't it feel great?" Looking at the scenery below, Parker sighed to Hodge.

"It's okay." Hearing Parker's exclamation, although Hodge didn't admit it, he agreed with him very much in his heart. Although he had flown to a high place to see the whole picture of New York before, the scenery had never been so comfortable to see here. .

This is equivalent to looking at the same environment from different angles, it will give people different senses and visual effects.

"By the way, you haven't said why you let me let them go." After admiring the scenery for a while, Hodge glanced at Parker, who was full of enjoyment, with a flat tone.

"They've already left. Does it still make sense for us to say this?" Parker asked with a smile instead of answering Hodge's question.

Hodge felt speechless about Parker's rogue behavior, but he was not too worried about letting go of the Red Devil and Nightcrawler Hodge. The Red Devil's feet and ankles were crushed by him, and he could only live in a wheelchair in the future. Even the teleportation that he is good at can't be used, such a person doesn't have much threat.

And he was taken away by Nightcrawler. Thinking of the way Nightcrawler gritted his teeth when he saw the Red Devil, he could know the consequences of Red Devil being taken away by Nightcrawler.

"Okay, what you said makes sense, but what are we doing here now? Enjoying the night view?" With a helpless sigh, Hodge no longer entangled in the matter of letting the red devil go.

Seeing Hodge's helpless expression, Parker jumped off the antenna lightly, stood on the edge of the top of the building, looked up at Hodge and smiled, and then said: "I just want to know, Did you have the ability from the beginning?"

Seeing Parker ask about his abilities, Hodge lowered his head and thought for a while. Although his abilities only appeared in elementary school, they should have been on him when he crossed over.

"Well, almost, did you ask me here just to ask this question?" Hodge expressed doubts about Parker's true thoughts.

Seeing Hodge's suspicious look, Parker smiled "hehe", "Of course not. In fact, Uncle Ben has already told me about you."

Seeing Hodge with a surprised expression, Parker continued with a smile: "Uncle Ben has been nagging you in my ear recently, so I want you to go back with me to give Uncle Ben a surprise, and you It's like you haven't been to my house yet."

Regarding Parker's invitation, Hodge thought for a while. Anyway, there is nothing to do next, and it would be good to go to Parker's house. Moreover, Hodge admired Ben very much, otherwise he would not have rescued him in the first place.

After thinking about it, Hodge nodded and agreed to Parker's invitation.

Seeing that Hodge agreed, Parker patted Hodge on the shoulder excitedly, and laughed loudly: "I know you will agree, let's go, it's getting late now." After finishing speaking, Parker jumped from the roof of the building Down.

Looking at the nimble Parker, Hodge secretly slandered, "I know it's getting late, but I'm still chatting with me..."

But having said that, Hodge still followed.

……

In the cold night, the two quickly passed through the streets like ghosts in the night, and it took only 5 minutes from Manhattan to Queens.

It was several times faster than taking the subway. Of course, it took 5 minutes mainly because Hodge had to follow Parker, otherwise with his speed such a short distance, it would not even take ten seconds.

Soon, the two arrived at Parker's house. Hodge took a look at Parker's house. It had a red roof and white walls in an old style. There was a small yard outside surrounded by a white fence. He stood in the yard, Through the window, you can see the lights flickering inside the house, and the shadows are flickering.

"Parker, it seems that there are quite a few people from your family tonight. Today should be a special day, and it should be a surprise for you." Hodge glanced at the layout of Parker's home, as well as the big box in the kitchen. Cake, smiled at the bewildered Parker with a smile.

"Really?" Hearing what Hodge said, Parker was a little excited, and hurried to the door, took out the key and opened the door.

Following Parker into their house, Hodge first saw a gray-haired, kind-faced old lady. The old lady greeted Parker with a red face, "Happy birthday! Parker!"

Immediately afterwards, behind the old lady, a man and a woman also came out and shouted: "Happy birthday."

Hodge also knew this man and a woman. The woman was Parker's first love, Mary Jane, and the man was Parker's good friend Harry Osborne.

However, they have not seen each other for a long time. There has been a big change in the appearance of both of them. Mary Jane's red hair was dyed golden, and her fair face is more charming than in high school. She is dressed in white home clothes. Look mature.

Harry's changes are even greater, his face looks more mature, and his thin body in high school has become stronger at this time. A thin black sweater and a pair of dark blue jeans make his mature face more mature. There was a burst of vitality that young people should have.

But although there was a smile on his face at this time, Hodge still saw a trace of sadness and hatred in his eyes, obviously he was still brooding over his father's death.

Behind the three of them, the older Benzheng watched all this with a smile. When he saw Hodge behind Parker, he was startled for a moment, and then nodded to him calmly.

Seeing Ben nod to himself, Hodge also responded with a smile, and then he reached out to May, who was looking at him curiously beside Parker, and said, "Hi, I'm Parker's high school classmate, Hodge Chi-Paso."

Mei glanced at Hodge, then stretched out her old hand to shake Hodge, "I know, my old man often talks about you in my ear, but you are more handsome than he described."

Hearing Mei's unabashed praise, Hodge touched his nose in embarrassment.

Seeing that Hodge was embarrassed, Mei didn't hold back, "Okay, you are Parker's high school classmate, so you should also know Harry and Mary Jane, so I won't introduce more."

"You guys chat slowly, I'll go to the kitchen to prepare dinner." Mei smiled kindly at everyone, then turned and went to the kitchen.

Ben, who was standing at the back, saw Mei leaving, and smiled at everyone: "It's time for you young people, I won't join in, you guys had a good chat!" He winked playfully at everyone. Blinking, he also turned and walked into the kitchen.

After the two old people left, there were only four young people left in the living room, and all of them were high school classmates, so naturally they didn't feel that they had any special status.

"Hodge, it's been a long time. I heard that you and Parker are in the same university. What have you been up to lately?" Among the four, Harry, who has entered the society, is the best at communicating with people. He was the first one after seeing Hodge. Open your mouth.

"I'm working on a great subject with Dr. Connors. If you're interested, you can find me." He shook hands with Harry with a smile. Hodge knew that Harry was a rich man now.

Although his father's company building was bought by Tony, Harry also used the money to make himself the sole controller of the Aussie Group.

You must know that before Harry's father died, he killed all the shareholders of the Oss Group and transferred the shares to his own name, but now, those things are in Harry's hands. It can be said that among the four people, Harry's The most valuable.

Hodge sympathizes with Harry very much. He can be said to be the most tragic character in the entire Spider-Man. He comes from a wealthy family, handsome in appearance, and devoted to emotion.

It's a pity that he is a brother of a superhero, and he is destined to have an ill-fated fate, so his father was hanged first, and then his girlfriend was robbed, and the entire Aoshi enterprise collapsed overnight. His face will be disfigured in the not too distant future.

And all of this has an inseparable relationship with his good brother Parker, and in the end he will be killed by venom for helping his brother.

The memory of Harry flashed away in his mind, and Hodge suddenly decided that he wanted to help this tragic creature.

And because Stark Industries was completely suppressed in weapon manufacturing, after Harry took over the Austen Group, he immediately set the goal of the entire company on energy development.

Dr. Otto's nuclear fusion technology is one of his company's investment projects.

Hodge's words made Harry's eyes brighten. What his company lacks most now is a product that can make the company famous. For Hodge's words, Harry can be said to have no doubts.

Because Hodge was a man of the hour in high school, even more famous than Parker.

So Harry heard what Hodge said, and quickly responded: "As long as it's valuable, I'm happy!"

"Its appearance will shock the whole world!"

Just when the two were about to talk in detail, Mary Jane interrupted their conversation with a helpless expression, "Okay, today is Parker's birthday, you two, it's not the time to talk about other things."

Seeing that the only woman present expressed her opinion, Hodge and Harry smiled at each other, and stopped the conversation at the same time.

……

The birthday dinner in the evening was also very successful. During the period, Hodge also had a good exchange with Ben. After some chatting, Hodge felt that he had benefited a lot.

Looking at the aged Ben, Hodge felt that it was a pity that he did not become a philosophy teacher.

After the dinner, Harry didn't forget to tell Parker that he was Dr. Otto's investor. By the way, he also planned to introduce Parker to Dr. Otto tomorrow as a gift for him.

In the end, Harry didn't forget to exchange phone numbers with Hodge, planning to find an opportunity to discuss the previous topic in detail.

In this regard, Hodge also readily accepted, because Connors' experiment is too shabby, without a large amount of funding, it is difficult to achieve great achievements.

After all, Hodge himself suspected that the reason Dr. Connors turned himself into a lizardman was because he didn't have much money for him to conduct a more complete and comprehensive test.

Doing this by yourself can be regarded as indirectly helping Connors realize his ideal?
