The firefighter who survived the disaster was very grateful and thanked Spider-Man and Ben. Spider-Man was not idle either. He jumped down from the bracket, grabbed Ben's strong body and pulled him back.
Even though Spider-Man was a little weak, his punch still had several tons of force, so he had no problem helping Ben pull up a fire truck.
The two superheroes used all their strength to pull the fire truck that was about to fall up.
Seeing this, the people watching around burst into cheers.
A group of policemen also ran over at the right time, holding pistols in their hands, with the black muzzles pointed at Ben, looking as if they were facing a great enemy. The firefighter who had been rescued before hurried over and stopped the police's behavior.
Several firefighters who were trapped in the fire truck and those who were rescued began to applaud.
Ben listened to the cheers and applause around him and laughed in a naive way. Spider-Man, on the other hand, was very cool. He waved to the people and left the Brooklyn Bridge. His daily life as a superhero was very busy. There were still many criminals that he needed to catch.
Chapter 142: The Era of the Fantastic Four?
After Ben was surrounded and welcomed by the crowd, Ben discovered that his wife Debbie was standing in front of the crowd, her eyes full of complexity and sadness. When Ben was about to move forward, Debbie shook her head and hoped that he would not come over. It was obvious that she did not treat Ben the same as before.
Debbie only looked at the ring on her hand, then hesitated for a moment before pulling the ring off, squatting down and putting the ring on the ground. Debbie's meaning was very clear, that their relationship was over and could never go back to the way it was before.
Ben understood Debbie's thoughts. He sighed, walked to the ring with a sad look, squatted down and tried to pick it up.
However, when he was about to pick up the ring, he found that his mutated fingers could not lift the ring.
Ben now hates his abilities a little bit because his current superpowers have caused him to lose his loved ones and even make it impossible for him to live like a normal person. Compared to this so-called superpower, he hopes to live like a normal person.
Reed saw Ben trying to pick up the ring in anger, so Ben went to him and helped him pick up the ring. Reed still felt a little sorry for Ben. After all, none of the five of them had superpowers that could cause physical mutations, but Ben had become like this.
Reed slowly placed the ring in Ben's hand, patted his shoulder, and said comfortingly: "Don't be too sad, it will pass."
Ben lowered his head, looked at the ring in his hand, and pondered something as he experienced the biggest setback in his life.
Seeing that Ben was still depressed, Reed said to Ben seriously, "I swear to you, I will use my scientific ability to turn you into a normal person."
Ben heard Reed's words, and a little hope rose in his heart. He still believed Reed's words, because sometimes it is better to have hope than not to have hope, which is a common human trait.
"The woman just now should be the wife or lover of this stone man." Natasha took a look at the woman who had already run away, then looked at the stone man who stubbornly wanted to pick up the ring but couldn't pick it up at all. She shook her head and sighed.
Think about Ben and then think about Banner. Even an agent like Natasha would feel the beauty of love.
Although there are some differences between Banner and Ben, the gap is not that big. Both of them have a girl who likes them, but Betty loves Bruce as a person. Even if Bruce becomes the Hulk, Betty still loves him.
But look at Ben the Stone Man, he looks much more honest than Hulk, doesn't he? But he ended up like this, although for ordinary people, this is indeed a bit exciting.
But without comparison, there is no harm.
Compared to Betty, this woman seemed very ruthless.
However, this had nothing to do with Natasha, she was just expressing her feelings a little bit.
She now wants to know when the Brooklyn Bridge will be reopened to traffic.
However, Natasha said she was a good employee who worked hard. She first called Pepper and explained the situation, then began to slowly cross the Brooklyn Bridge under the guidance of the police.
Elsewhere, in a tent next to the Brooklyn Bridge, a black firefighter walked in and said, "There are some people outside who want to talk to you."
Reed stepped forward, his eyes filled with helplessness: "We don't want to make this public. We are scientists, not celebrities."
The black firefighter shook his head. "It's too late, man. Look."
Reed saw the black firefighter turn on the TV, which was showing the footage of several people using their super powers to save people today.
The black firefighter pointed at Reed and his three companions and said, "They gave you a name: the Fantastic Four."
"Cool, this is the same as what Reed said." When Johnny heard the name, he didn't expect it to be the same as what Reed said.
"Wait, Johnny, where are you going?" Susan saw Johnny about to leave and quickly said to Johnny.
"I'll go talk to those reporters." Johnny said happily.
"No, we should be like Spider-Man and not appear in public. We shouldn't be as high-profile as Iron Man," Susan advised.
How could Johnny possibly listen to his sister? Susan was also very helpless. Her brother was not a low-key person.
Johnny came in front of the reporters and waved to them. He really enjoyed the feeling of being surrounded by people. He was a little envious of Iron Man. After all, being welcomed by so many people was very good.
Reed, Susan and others arrived at this time, and a reporter asked them: "Who is the captain of the Fantastic Four?"
"It's me." Johnny pointed at himself proudly.
"Okay, I want to ask..." the young reporter continued.
"Sorry, he was joking." Susan said to the reporter with a helpless smile.
"Well, I still need to know sometime. Here's my business card." The young reporter took out his business card and handed it to Reed, then took out his camera and took pictures of the Fantastic Four.
"Peter Parker? The name sounds good." Reed looked at the business card and said that it felt good.
Reed then explained to the reporters how he acquired his super powers. He smiled and said, "Our abilities come from being exposed to some kind of unknown radiation during a mission to the space station. That's why we gained super powers."
The reporters then asked, "What's up with you guys? You don't have mutant genes but you have their abilities. That's amazing. By the way, what are your abilities?"
"I wonder why he can use fire."
Question after question was raised. Even a scientist like Reed was left dizzy. It could be said that journalists were incredibly powerful creatures.
"Everyone, trust us, we will study the impact of cosmic storms on us." Susan said simply to the reporters.
"Impact, I want to know if there is any problem." The reporter asked.
"No, nothing. If you insist on saying it has any impact, I think it's helpful to everyone," Johnny said, seemingly making a very reasonable statement. "I think everyone knows that after being irradiated by the cosmic storm, we can help the public solve most criminals."
"However, I think the one next to you is not very good after withstanding the transformation of the cosmic storm." The reporter pointed at Ben and said, obviously a little confused about how the cosmic storm could create such a non-human. After all, in their impression, most non-humans are mutants. However, can this kind of existence whose genes have been changed by the cosmic storm be considered a mutant?
Reed told reporters: "Ben is actually the best superhero. Although he looks a little bad, he is definitely a good person."
Johnny heard Reed's words and jokingly said, "I think the reporter meant that Ben is our team's mascot."
Johnny put his arm around Reed and Ben's shoulders and said, "A new era has arrived, the era of the Fantastic Four. We are the new heroic team."
No one except Johnny looked happy. Reed turned around and said to the people around him, "We were in space and were affected by a solar storm. Our purpose in going to space was to find a way to understand DNA, cure diseases, and save lives. But now, our DNA, our diseases, and our lives hang on a thread. Thank you, and don't ask any more questions."
After finally getting away from the media, Reed felt that it was urgent to research equipment to treat his own body.
Chapter 143: New Elements
Tony carried the box to his underground laboratory. He opened the box and found a lot of things inside.
First of all, there were the original design drawings of the Ark reactor, newspapers about Anton Vanko's defection, a bunch of photos of Howard, two videotapes and a notebook.
