Russell is not surprised that the media and the public would make such speculations.
In fact, this is the result of his active guidance.
As for the reason, of course it's because he has some special thoughts about Gwen.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be too lazy to do these little tricks.
After casually watching the news report, he turned off the TV.
Now, the name of the superhero serum has been announced.
In the days that follow, as long as he continues to do some heroic deeds, the name of the superhero serum will become more and more popular among people, and eventually he will become a superhero as famous as the Fantastic Four and others.
By then, he can almost consider announcing his true identity.
After turning off the TV, he made a phone call to Diana, who was on a business trip to Israel to inspect newly unearthed ruins at the Dead Sea.
Israel is 7 hours ahead of New York. Judging from the time, Diana should have just finished her day's work.
Not long after, the call was connected, and Diana's voice came from the other end of the phone.
Russell first chatted with Diana about minor topics between lovers, and then told Diana about some of his recent activities.
Even if he doesn't tell her, Diana will know what he did during this time when she comes back.
Rather than letting Diana find out when she comes back, it's better to tell her now.
In this way, at least some unpleasant things can be avoided.
After listening to his story, Diana didn't say anything but asked him to pay attention to safety.
At the end of the phone call, Diana gave him a small reminder in a seemingly casual tone.
Don't mess around!
Especially you can't bring other women into your home!
Although Diana had no mysophobia and even acquiesced in some of Russell's little hobbies, the bottom line was that she could not bring other women home.
If this bottom line is crossed, Russell can guarantee that Diana will never mind letting him experience how sharp the Vulcan sword is.
After living with Diana for so long, Russell certainly knew what he could do and what he couldn't do.
Without Diana's reminder, he would not bring other women home.
Things that can be solved by just booking a room in a hotel outside do not have to be so complicated.
Besides, even if you don’t drive a house, you can still do it in a car.
There are always more solutions than difficulties. As long as you are interested, anywhere can become a battlefield.
After hanging up the phone, Russell sighed slightly.
It would take a week or two for Diana to come back, which meant that during this period, he could still only sleep alone with a pillow in his arms.
Putting the phone aside, he opened an encrypted file on the computer.
As soon as the file was opened, Gwen's photo appeared in his sight.
Although he did not meet Gwen again during this period, he commissioned a private detective to investigate Gwen on the black market.
Gwen Stacey, 20 years old, is a sophomore at Empire State University and is currently an intern at Osborne Group.
His father, George Stacy, was the commissioner of the New York Police Department, and his mother, Helen Stacy, was a housewife.
The Gwen in this world has no younger brothers and is the only daughter in the family.
After looking at the information returned by the private detective, Russell drank the whiskey in the glass in one gulp.
Fantastic Four Headquarters.
Baxter Building.
In the living area on the top floor, Jonathan Stone, the most bohemian Human Torch among the Fantastic Four, was lying on the sofa, stuffing popcorn into his mouth while watching news reports about the superhero serum.
As one of New York's most well-known superheroes, Jonathan is no stranger to superheroes making headlines.
To be precise, he himself is a frequent visitor to these headlines.
Looking at Russell on the TV, Jonathan frowned slightly.
Although he didn't know who this new serum was, the scenes of Russell's interviews made him see something different.
This guy is very good at dealing with the media!
This discovery made Jonathan feel an indescribable sense of crisis.
Among the currently famous superheroes, Jonathan Human Torch is definitely the one who knows how to deal with the media best.
In other words, he is the person who likes to appear in media lenses and be surrounded by flashlights.
Other superheroes want to stay away from reporters completely, but Jonathan is just the opposite.
If Mr. Fantastic Reed and his sister Invisible Woman Susan hadn't disagreed, he would have even had the idea of inviting the program crew to the building for a 24-hour reality show filming.
After finishing the popcorn in the paper bucket, Jonathan made a decision.
He wants to hold a press conference!
Just as he was told, he crumpled the empty popcorn bucket into a ball and threw it into the trash can like a basketball.
Three no-sticks!
The idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.
The paper bucket crumpled into a ball by Jonathan did not even touch the edge of the trash can.
Jonathan ignored the thrown paper bucket, got up and walked towards Mr. Fantastic Reed's laboratory.
Although he has always wanted to be the head of the Fantastic Four, it is a pity that even his sister Susan did not support him.
After arriving at Reed's laboratory, Jonathan was not polite and directly expressed his thoughts to Reed.
…………
Russell didn't know what happened in the Baxter Building. He was currently testing the armor in the laboratory on the second floor.
After this period of transformation, Peter and No. 3 have made some visible gains.
The endosymbiotic armor was transformed into Zaku's appearance by the two of them.
At least that's what it looks like.
The endosymbiotic armor is made of fully intelligent liquid metal. Changing its appearance is not difficult for the endosymbiotic armor.
In order to make the Zaku form of the armor more consistent with the design, Peter and No. 3 He specially built a beam rifle and thermal ax for the armor.
The current Zaku armor is overall military green.
Except for the helmet!
This is not Russell's request, but No. 3's own decision.
Military green body color, light blue helmet.
Although it looks a little out of place, it is better than a green helmet.
In order to meet the requirements of the Russell Firepower Platform, the Zaku Armor has more external interfaces than the original armor form.
Behind the armor, a large number of external weapon interfaces are reserved.
Due to time constraints, weapons are not yet connected to these external interfaces.
Light speed rifle, thermal axe, arc pulse cannon in the palm, and cluster cannon in the chest.
After briefly testing the performance of the Zaku armor in the laboratory, Russell took off his clothes.
"Using the current battle armor as a prototype, we will develop a mass-produced model. The cluster cannon on the chest and the pulse cannon on the palms will be cancelled. The beam rifle will be replaced by a kinetic energy weapon. The thermal ax will continue to be retained, plus a Gatling machine gun and a personal anti-tank gun.
Waiting for external weapons."
"The material will be changed to ordinary gold-titanium alloy, and the operating system will retain its basic functions."
"The energy system is changed to charging mode, and the battery life is three hours."
"Cancel the flight system and switch to low-altitude ejection flight."
"Try to control the cost within 30 million US dollars!"
Russell's intention to make Octopus Labs a military-industrial giant is not just a talk, he really intends to do it.
Now that Stark Industries is gradually giving up military orders, Russell doesn't mind turning the cake that originally belonged to Stark Industries into his own.
In addition to selling to the military, he also doesn't mind selling to Hydra.
As for the price, $50 million per set should be fine.
