The era of American comics begins

Chapter 8 The Green Goblin
The hall is filled with golden lights, and the colorful crystal chandeliers seem to be slowly rotating under the effect of light and shadow.The brisk and soothing music spun around in the hall, and dignitaries from the military walked back and forth in this bright hall in dresses studded with medals, in addition to some big names from the political and business circles in New York City.

Michael Paso and his secretary, Elizabeth, entered the meeting about eight o'clock.Brad Bowen from the Military Commission, a well-groomed and well-dressed old man, gave people a kind and friendly impression at first sight.He walked towards the door with a friendly smile on his face.

"Get something to drink and relax." Michael whispered in Elizabeth's ear, "I'll call you if necessary."

"Yes sir."

Elizabeth didn't say much, and backed away sideways.Brad Bowen came with a smile and shook Michael's hand with his rough and powerful palm.

"Mr. Passo." Brad said, "What a surprise, I heard that busy work always makes it hard for you to get out."

"It was originally like this. But Elizabeth told me that many important friends from the military were invited to the banquet today, so I think it might not be decent to stay in the laboratory all the time." Michael paused, half-jokingly, "and I also plan to drink all the beer here."

Brad smiled, and the two began to walk side by side through the crowd to the center of the venue.

"About the micro-missile you proposed last time," he said, "is there any progress?"

"It went well." Michael shrugged, and took a glass of whiskey from the waiter beside him. "The problem of volume and size has been solved, and now we are trying to change the test effect of different warheads."

"What about power?"

Michael smiled mysteriously and raised his glass: "Wait until the live demonstration, and you will see it naturally."

"Okay, then I'll wait and see."

The progress of the background music gradually reached a climax, and the brisk rhythm seemed to drive the atmosphere in the hall to become more active.

Until the arrival of the uninvited guest suddenly pushed the atmosphere to its climax.

The tall glass curtain wall shattered with a bang, and the green ghostly shadow rushed into the hall on a silver skateboard through the opening wall, with two flames entwined with black smoke ejected from its tail.The green demon frantically stepped on the skateboard and flew around the crystal lamp twice, laughing hysterically.

"Hey! Big names in New York! Did you all have a good night?"

He yelled at the top of his lungs, followed by another series of wild laughter.The muzzle protruded from the bottom of the hang glider, and flames spewed aimlessly towards the entire venue.The bullets shattered the glass and the dinner plate, and the food and drink were scattered everywhere.The guests screamed and crouched to avoid it, and panic quickly ruled everything.

Security guards quickly entered the venue, but there was clearly nothing they could do about the situation.They were pinned down by the sheer firepower of that green maniac on the hang glider, and they didn't even last ten seconds.

The green guy is very happy with his control.He stopped the skateboard and stopped buzzing around like an annoying fly. The sharp and vicious eyes under the mask swept across these luxuriously dressed celebrities with coldness, and quickly locked on Michael.

The hang glider landed slowly with the hum of the engine, and hovered in front of Michael Passo.The young man stood on the spot without changing his expression, with his arms folded, and he raised his head to face the strangely dressed guy standing on the skateboard, as if he was looking at a clown on the stage.

"Look, our genius Michael Paso is as defiant as ever," the green guy said in a high-pitched voice that sounded odd.

"I think my attitude towards most people is quite modest." Michael said lightly, "But for some clowns who decided to change their Halloween costumes and jumped in from the window without being invited to the banquet. Then I have to admit that it is really not very good. worth to respect."

"Tut tsk tsk," the other party shook his green finger, "that's because you don't know me well enough, and you don't know enough about what I can do. Once you understand the horror of the 'Green Goblin', you will start prayer."

"I'm sorry, but this name makes me feel old-fashioned and uncreative." Michael shrugged, then raised his eyes, which seemed to shoot out a knife-like gleam, and lowered his voice, "Again Or. We'll just call you Mr. Osborne, don't you think?"

Green Goblin, the evil personality born from Norman Osborn's failed Oz human experiment, endowed Osborn with physical strength and reflexes far beyond ordinary people, and is the classic villain in Marvel's "Spider-Man" series.As a time traveler, Michael didn't know much about Marvel comics, but it wasn't to the point where he couldn't even recognize such a famous character.

The goblin-shaped green mask concealed the Green Goblin's expression, but his eyes clearly changed the moment his identity was revealed.But he quickly adjusted and laughed wildly again.

"Oh? Am I?" He lowered his hang glider and approached Michael, and the words that came out of his grinning mouth seemed to be chilling, "You don't know anything about the Green Goblin, Mr. Passo."

"If you want to discuss with me alone, I happen to be free." Michael said lightly, "But there is no need to hold so many guests here."

The Green Goblin laughed again.

"Look, you don't get it at all," he said loudly. "This is the fun part! There are so many people watching, so many spectators! It's just getting hot!"

The clatter of knuckles on the glass interrupted the conversation.Everyone followed the sound and turned their heads, only to see a thin figure wrapped in a red and blue tights crouching at the crack where the glass window was smashed by the hang glider, and a spider web head was poking through the crack in the glass.

It's Spider-Man who's been active in New York these days.

"Sorry to interrupt, man," he said, knocking on the window to attract attention, "but I was thinking, should I just go in through this hole, or do I have to make another hole myself? Because... you know , which is really confusing."

Spiderman?Michael raised his eyebrows.Sure enough, this is not exactly the MCU movie universe, and the timing of Spider-Man and Green Goblin's debut is enough to prove this point.It seems that the future plot development of the MCU can only be used as a general reference, and the follow-up plans cannot be completely based on the plot of the movie.

"You." The Green Goblin turned to look at him, eyes under the mask narrowed.

"Me." Spider-Man jumped down and landed on a messy dining table, "Honestly, it's too early for Halloween. And your outfit is really not realistic enough."

The Green Goblin temporarily abandoned Michael, and controlled the glider to fly in front of Spider-Man.

"Whoever said that has a cobweb head," the Goblin sneered. "I have a better proposal, seriously. You and I, we're not that different. Think what we can do if we work together." What a success, Cobwebhead. Those big names in New York's underworld will be history from now on!"

Spider-Man raised his cheeks, as if he really started to think seriously.

"Do you mean to rule Manhattan? Or do all five boroughs count? It sounds quite tempting." He then waved his hand again, ". But after thinking about it, I still forget it. Because I suddenly remembered that my principle is Not working with green people."

"Ha! That's really regrettable, but it's not surprising at all. But if I were you, I'd think twice." The Green Goblin paused, lowered his voice and smiled coldly, ".Parker."

The pupils of Spider-Man's eyes shrank.

The Green Goblin raised his right hand, and flames spewed out from the index finger of his glove.Spider-Man reacted quickly and jumped away, and the dining table under him was blasted into a hole the size of a bowl.

Spider-Man turned back and stuck two spider threads to the bottom of the hallway on the second floor. Using his strength, he jumped up, flipped his figure, and kicked the Green Goblin on the skateboard with his feet together.The Green Goblin leaned back slightly, and the hang glider pushed out the tail flame to avoid it.He laughed triumphantly: "Ha! Missed!"

Spider-Man turned two somersaults in the air and landed on the glass curtain wall inside the hall. The Green Goblin spun around, and several muzzles protruded from the bottom of the hang glider.Long tongues of flame spewed out continuously with the "chug chug" gunshots, Spiderman jumped away deftly, and the fierce firepower blew up the glass curtain wall to pieces.The venue exploded in an instant, and the guests took the opportunity to rush to several exits of the venue.

"Green Goblin!" Spider-Man was in midair, and the two spider threads grabbed two chairs and threw them towards the Green Goblin in midair along a long parabola, "Fix this one!"

The Green Goblin dodged to avoid a chair, and waved his arm to slap another volley, but he couldn't help but pause.Spider-Man took the opportunity to exchange two spider silks and quickly swung in front of the Green Goblin, and slammed onto his gliding pedal.

"Hey! This is not something you should play with!" the Green Goblin yelled, and quickly punched the face of the spider web head in front of him, "Get down!"

Spider-Man turned his head to avoid it, and unceremoniously returned an uppercut: "Really? But I suspect that you may not have a license to drive this thing. I have to check your driver's license first."

The two guys, one green and one red, squeezed into the limited space of the hang glider and refused to give in to each other-both in their hands and mouths.The gliding pedal was buzzing and scurrying around the hall like an out-of-control fly. The two people standing on the pedal were coming and going fiercely, but neither could drive the other off.Not a while later, the flying glider finally smashed a new gap in the window, carrying the two people who were fighting endlessly, flew far away, and disappeared under the moonlight.
