Marvel: Superman Strength in a World of Heroes

If Iron Man manages to take down a threat like the Abomination...

Knowing Tony Stark's personality...

He'd probably hold a press conference right after to publicly reveal that he's Iron Man.

Highly likely.

So then,

Why does Carl think it'll be:

Hulk vs. Abomination vs. Iron Man

Instead of Hulk and Iron Man vs. Abomination?

Because in Hulk's current mental state...

It's hard to guarantee that during a fight...

He won't accidentally beat Iron Man to a pulp along with the Abomination.

One thing worth mentioning,

The Bruce Banner of this Marvel world...

The Hulk...

Isn't the one from the Avengers movies.

He looks like the one from The Incredible Hulk.

And,

The place Hulk is currently located,

Although still within New York City, it's quite a distance from the main urban area.

No one knows for sure whether the fight will be over...

By the time Iron Man shows up.

Well, it doesn't concern Carl all that much anyway.

He's just here to enjoy the show.

Though, just drinking wine...

Feels like something's missing.

After thinking for a moment,

Carl opened the group chat.

『God Among Men』: Yo, what's everyone up to?

『Passing Kamen Rider』: Just about to eat dinner.

『God Among Men』: If it's not too much trouble, mind bringing me a bowl of oden?

Sure,

Carl also likes grilled meat and teppanyaki.

But asking someone for a favor... it doesn't feel right to be too picky.

Come to think of it, Carl can cook too.

But his cooking skills?

Let's just say... average.

Of course, that was before.

Now that he has the Silver Superman template, with enhanced intelligence...

Learning to cook would be easy.

He just hasn't tried yet.

『Passing Kamen Rider』: Not a problem at all.

『Passing Kamen Rider』: Hold tight, Master Carl. I'll send it over as soon as it's ready.

『God Among Men』: Perfect. Thanks!

『What If My Little Sister Is a Chuunibyou?』: Master Carl wants something to eat?

『God Among Men』: That's right.

『What If My Little Sister Is a Chuunibyou?』: Then how about I whip something up for you too?

『God Among Men』: Sounds great. Thanks a ton.

Considering that Toka is head chef at a restaurant,

Carl certainly wasn't going to say no.

『What If My Little Sister Is a Chuunibyou?』: No need to be so polite!

So Carl sat back and patiently waited for his food to arrive.

Meanwhile,

In a restroom...

After being injected with the super soldier serum, Blonsky began to feel some strange side effects.

His muscles... appeared to be wasting away.

Standing in front of the mirror, staring at his reflection,

His expression darkened.

The man in the mirror...

Skinny and gaunt, practically skin and bones.

This was nothing like the first time he took the super serum.

Back then, his physique had been ripped,

It was like he'd become ten years younger.

His entire body was brimming with strength.

But now...

His body looked,

Worse than it had when he was a normal 39-year-old.

Suddenly, he heard a strange sound behind him.

Blonsky couldn't tell what it was.

What he didn't see was,

His spine twisting and contorting beneath his skin...

Suddenly, it jutted outward.

He glanced over briefly...

Then quickly suited up in combat gear, grabbed his weapons, and boarded the aircraft.

Inside the plane,

A squad of soldiers was already geared up.

General Thaddeus Ross was among them.

A Black soldier standing nearby caught sight of Blonsky and called out loudly:

"Yo! How are you feeling, man?"

Blonsky grinned.

"Like a monster."

And with that, the aircraft took off.

Elsewhere,

Bruce Banner and his team were conducting an experiment in Samuel Sterns' lab.

They loaded a vial of the prepared antidote into the machine...

Then secured Banner onto the platform.

And so, the procedure began.

Because the antidote needed to interact with Hulk's biology at full transformation,

They had Bruce intentionally trigger a transformation into the Hulk.

When Sterns saw the hulking green giant before him...

He froze in place.

Not from fear, but from overwhelming excitement.

After all,

As a Ph.D. in cellular biology,

This was his first time witnessing a being like the Hulk.

Betty Ross, seeing his stunned expression, quickly reminded him to administer the antidote.

Only then did Sterns snap out of it and activate the machine.

As the antidote was injected,

The Hulk, like a living mountain, slowly reverted back into Bruce Banner.

It looked like the experiment had worked.

"This is the most incredible thing I've ever seen in my life!"

Sterns said, barely containing his excitement.

But soon after, during their conversation...

Bruce Banner noticed something odd.

Sterns had mentioned the phrase "test samples."

Sterns didn't try to hide it,

He explained the situation directly:

Apparently...

The blood sample Banner had mailed to him wasn't enough.

So Sterns had used it to synthesize dozens of vials of Bruce's blood.

An entire roomful.

He believed gamma radiation held limitless possibilities...

He even thought they might win a Nobel Prize for this.

"No."

"We have to destroy it all."

"What?"

"This stuff is too dangerous. It can't be controlled."

Bruce was resolute.

As the one who lived with this every day, he knew just how deadly it could be.

Sterns disagreed.

The two began to argue.

What neither of them realized was,

At that very moment...

General Ross had already surrounded the lab with his men.

There were even snipers stationed outside,

Although due to the building's layout, they didn't yet have a clear shot.

Blonsky, having taken the serum, was already charging ahead.

Even when General Ross, worried about his daughter, ordered him to fall back,

Blonsky ignored him and charged straight into the lab.

Ross, sensing something was off with Blonsky,

Headed to the lab himself.

Inside, Bruce and Sterns were still arguing,

When one sniper finally got a clear shot and tranquilized Bruce.

Then, Blonsky smashed into the lab.

He knocked Betty Ross aside with one blow.

Then shouted furiously at Bruce,

"Where's the Hulk?!"

He looked completely unhinged.

Because,

The serum had adversely affected his body.

And not just his appearance,

His emotions too were spiraling out of control.

Blonsky had become violently unstable.

More soldiers arrived soon after,

They carried Bruce out on a stretcher.

Betty naturally followed them out.

General Ross walked up to Bruce...

And whispered coldly:

"If you try to take him from me again, I'll lock you up for life."

By "him," he obviously meant the Hulk.

They had read Bruce's emails, and listened in on his conversations.

They knew Bruce and Betty wanted the Hulk gone.

Bruce, Betty, and Ross boarded the plane and took off.

Back in the lab, Ross's deputy remained with Sterns.

The two were chatting when,

Blonsky suddenly knocked the deputy out cold.

Then demanded the substance extracted from Banner's body.

After some threats and pressure,

Sterns gave in, agreeing to inject him with Banner's blood.

Truth be told, as a scientist, Sterns was curious to see what would happen.

After the injection,

Blonsky transformed into a hulking monstrosity, the size of a small mountain.
