Chapter 422 Electro: Me? Electro Spider-Man?
Chapter 422 Electro: Me? Electro Spider-Man?
After absorbing all the electrical energy from Electro's body, Doctor Octopus released Electro.
Meanwhile, the extraordinary being shot out spider silk, binding the electric man.
Electro sat slumped to the ground, scoffing, "You won again, Spider-Man. You always win..."
Superman crouched down and placed his hand on Electro's shoulder: "Max, it's not that I always win, it's that I, as Spider-Man, must win! Not for myself, but to protect more innocent people!"
Electro looked at the unmistakably genuine expression on the Spider-Man's face, opened his mouth, but ultimately uttered no rebuttal: "Yeah, it's great to be Spider-Man. Everyone loves you, everyone entrusts their hopes to you..."
"If I were Spider-Man, I probably would have done the same. But unfortunately, Spider-Man isn't Black..."
Hearing the self-deprecating humor of the Electric Man, Chaofan wanted to comfort him.
But after thinking about it, it seems that among the Spider-Men he has ever met—himself, the original Spider-Man, Peter Parker, and even Tobey Maguire—there isn't a single Black Spider-Man!
Therefore, even the extraordinary didn't know how to comfort the electric man.
Because it's true!
"Alright, Peter, there's no time for nonsense, we need to get back quickly!"
"When I rushed over to help, I saw Norman chasing after that Peter who had left. I suspect he has a bigger conspiracy!"
At this moment, Doctor Octopus reminded Extraordinary.
"You're right, Doctor. Max, will you stay here and wait for me for a while? I promise I'll take care of your problem when I get back!"
Therefore, Superman didn't have time to catch up with Electro. After leaving a few words for Electro, he followed Doctor Octopus and chased after Peter in the direction he had left.
What neither Superman nor Doctor Octopus noticed was that, just as they left, the Electro Man, who had been bound by spider silk, disappeared in the blue light, just like the Lizard Man before him.
When Electro-Man could see the scene before him again, he was no longer on the new Statue of Liberty.
Instead, it is located on a large street with many people coming and going.
Furthermore, the spider silk that had bound him had disappeared, restoring his freedom of movement.
Most importantly, it was night just a moment ago, but now it has suddenly become broad daylight.
And Electro has already recognized where he is...
That's Times Square in New York!
In other words, after he became Electro, he was looked at differently by everyone and shot by the police, which led him to the crossroads of his dark path!
This place could be considered one of his nightmares!
"How did I end up here again? What's going on?"
Max looked around in a panic, instinctively trying to cover his face.
But it was too late; two patrol officers had already noticed the erratic Electro man walking toward him.
Electro instinctively tried to use his superpowers, but when he raised his hand, nothing appeared.
Looking down, he saw that although the spider silk binding him was gone, the suppressor of his electrical energy was still on his chest.
He wanted to remove it, but given Peter's experience, this time the suppressor was specially locked by the Extraordinary, and it couldn't be removed without a specific method!
Therefore, Electro could only keep retreating.
That feeling of helplessness as an ordinary person made Electro feel as if he had returned to the days when he had no superpowers.
That day when I was ignored and discriminated against.
Until he crashed into a vending machine, with nowhere left to retreat, and two patrol officers getting closer and closer to him, Electro finally resigned himself to his fate and closed his eyes.
It looks like he'll be pinned to the ground and thrown into jail again.
Snap—
The patrolman's hand reached out and landed on Electro.
But instead of the arrest he expected, he was greeted with a friendly greeting: "Hey, isn't this our Electro Spider-Man Max? Dude, what are you doing here? Bought a drink?"
"Electric Spider-Man, I'm a huge fan of yours! What would you like to drink? It's on me! Remember how you saved me from that shooting incident?"
Upon hearing the words of the two police officers beside him, Electro opened his eyes in disbelief.
Electro Spider-Man?
What the hell!
And I saved a policeman?
This...this isn't my world?
So what kind of world is this?!
Feeling tired or thirsty? Try this energy drink! Endorsed by Spider-Man himself, manufactured on Parker's industrial safety line – a trusted brand!
Just then, a familiar voice came from inside.
The electric man instinctively looked in the direction of the sound.
Then I saw a beverage advertisement playing on the big screen in Times Square.
And the spokesperson for this beverage is none other than himself!
"Oh, look! Electro Spider-Man, he's the guy you endorse!"
"This is my favorite drink, so I'll treat you to the Electric Drink, how about it?"
The two police officers followed Electro's gaze to the Times Square screen and exclaimed in surprise.
As he spoke, the police officer, who claimed to be a fan of the Electric Spider, bought three bottles of Electric Drinks from behind the Electric Man and handed one to the Electric Man.
Electro took the bottle, looked down at the blue paint with his own image printed on it, and froze.
On the beverage bottle, he is wearing a blue lightning spider suit and smiling with unparalleled confidence.
This is a stark contrast to his former dejected state, when he was afraid of being discriminated against!
Electro looked somewhat bewildered: "So in this universe, as a Black man, I really am Spider-Man..."
"Max, what did you say?" The two officers, who hadn't heard Electro's murmur clearly, asked instinctively.
"Uh, no, it's nothing. I mean, I like this drink too!" Electro quickly shook his head.
He couldn't let anyone realize he was an imposter!
Unsuspecting, the two officers pulled out their phones again: "Max, can we take a picture with you?"
Electro was somewhat flattered: "Of course, of course!"
With Electro's permission, the two officers excitedly raised their phones and took turns taking photos with Max.
This gave the Electroman an unprecedented sense of satisfaction!
Who would have thought that he, who was treated as an unknown nobody, would become a star superhero in this universe!
"Oh! Is that the superhero Max?!"
"It really is Electro Spider-Man!"
"Wow, Electro Spider-Man, can I take a picture with you?"
"Max, you are the pride of us Black people!"
.....
At that moment, more people noticed Max standing with the two officers taking a photo together, and they all gathered around him.
Hearing all the positive comments and no negative ones around him, Electro gradually smiled.
"Am I... in heaven?!"
