This transformation could only be described as comparable to plastic surgery!
And overnight, with Dr. Banner and Dr. Samuel working together, they managed to create an Insulated Suit for Max.
It was a suit primarily blue in color, with the same black spider pattern as the spider suit in the center, and yellow lightning bolt patterns on the limbs.
It contained both elements of Max's own characteristics and elements of the Spider Family!
This was naturally a special request Ryan had made to Dr. Banner and Dr. Samuel.
Max looked at the suit, and with an excited heart and trembling hands, he took the suit from Dr. Banner's hands, finally looking toward Ryan with great expectation.
And Ryan did not disappoint, saying the words Max wanted to hear most in his heart: "Welcome to the Spider Family, Max. From today on, you are Electro-Spider!"
Hearing this, Max jumped up in excitement, waving his hands repeatedly: "Yeah! Awesome! I'm a Spider-Man too!!!"
Hearing this, Peter quickly stepped forward to correct him:
"Hey, Max, don't get too excited. You're not Spider-Man. There's only one Spider-Man, and that's me. You should be called Electro-Spider-Man!"
Max stopped waving his hands and instead scratched his head awkwardly, saying to Peter apologetically:
"Oh, oh, sorry, sorry. I just got too excited at the thought of becoming a Superhero and a member of the Spider Family..."
At this point, Peter put his hand on Max's shoulder and laughed loudly:
"Haha, I'm just kidding, Max. Of course you can be Spider-Man. As long as you do good deeds, anyone can be the Spider-Man behind the mask!"
"Ryan once said, with great power comes great responsibility. Spider-Man isn't just a proof of ability, but a heavy responsibility. As long as you do the right thing within your power, you deserve the title of Spider-Man!"
Looking at his former idol saying he could also be Spider-Man, Max's confidence surged, and a confident smile he had never shown before appeared on his face:
"That's right, Ryan's right. With great power comes great responsibility. From today on, I am Electro-Spider-Man!"
Ryan:...
This kid Peter seems to have led Electro astray... he led someone from a supervillain to a Superhero... but... it doesn't matter.
Regardless of whether Max became a hero or a villain, Ryan had the means to control him both physically and mentally.
Ryan shifted his gaze from the excited Max to Dr. Samuel and Dr. Banner, who were looking at the Spider Family with envy, and smiled:
"You two, I believe you weren't just helping Max make a suit all night. So, what do you think? Do you want to join our Spider Family?"
Dr. Samuel's eyes lit up, and he pointed at himself in disbelief: "I... I can too? But although I've partially mutated because of the Hulk's blood, it's only a mutation in my head. I have no actual combat ability..."
Ryan shook his head at this and looked at Samuel, speaking seriously: "Dr. Samuel, what do you think is the most important thing for a hero team?"
Faced with this question, Samuel was stunned: "Isn't it just combat power?"
Ryan pointed at Samuel's large green head and said in a resonant voice: "Of course not! Powerful combat ability is indeed the most important factor in individual heroism, but I am talking about a hero team."
"The most important thing for a team isn't combat power, but brains—a super brain that can control the situation, formulate plans, and resolve the worries of those on the front lines!"
"And you, Dr. Samuel Sterns, you are the most important super brain that our Spider Family needs!"
Ryan's stirring speech almost turned Samuel into a Teletubby. Already someone who admired the strong, how could he resist Ryan's—the Spider Monarch—regard and recruitment?
Samuel raised his right hand at a 45-degree angle toward Ryan and shouted loudly: "I am willing to join the Spider Family! I am willing to become the brain of the Spider Family!!"
Ryan suppressed a smile and patted his shoulder with a serious face: "Very good, very spirited. From today on, you are the Spider-Brain of our Spider Family!"
"Your code name will be 'Brain-Spider', signifying the Spider of Wisdom!"
Samuel nodded repeatedly: "Good! I am Brain-Spider!"
After speaking, Samuel also stood in the Spider Family camp, leaving only Dr. Banner standing alone opposite them.
Ryan looked at Dr. Banner and reached out his hand: "Dr. Banner, only you are left. Will you join the Spider Family and become our Two-Faced Spider?"
Dr. Banner was already hesitating about joining, but after hearing Ryan give him this title, he couldn't help but ask curiously: "Why am I called Two-Faced Spider? Is there some special meaning in that?"
Ryan pointed to his own head with one hand and displayed his biceps with the other, smiling: "Naturally, it's because you are different from others, Dr. Banner. You are more special; you have two sides."
"One side is a super scientist with Earth's top intellect; the other side is a super warrior with Earth's top strength!"
"So you are the Two-Faced Turtle... oh no, I mean Two-Faced Spider!"
Dr. Banner:...In the end, Dr. Banner still chose to join Ryan's Spider Family, but he firmly disagreed with the title Two-Faced Spider because he still resisted the Hulk in his heart.
Ryan didn't force it; Two-Faced Spider was just something he had made up on the fly. It didn't matter if there was a title or not.
For example, Harry had joined the Spider Family for a while now but still didn't have his own title.
Should he be called Harry the Green Goblin Spider?
But in this Universe, Harry had never even become the Green Goblin... so Ryan simply stopped thinking about titles. He would announce them once Harry and Dr. Banner came up with titles they were satisfied with themselves.
Just as the Spider Family had gained three more members overnight and the whole family was enjoying a harmonious moment, the sound of a door opening broke the harmony!
Dr. Banner, Dr. Samuel, and Max probably didn't hear it.
But Ryan, Peter, and Harry, who had excellent hearing, clearly heard the door opening above.
And they also heard that more than one person had entered after the door opened—there were multiple people!
This made Harry and Peter immediately alert: "Someone's here, and they're coming toward the Underground Room!"
Hearing this, the other three also became tense and alert, all staring at the entrance to the Underground Room, ready for anything!
Only Ryan seemed to have thought of something. His expression changed as he looked at Harry and Peter, twitching the corner of his mouth: "Hey, did you guys bring your phones when you went out last night?"
Peter tugged at the spider suit on his body and shrugged: "You know, although this high-tech suit has pockets, I usually don't bring a phone so it doesn't affect my movement, especially since the situation was so urgent last night..."
Harry, however, seemed to have realized something. His eyes widened suddenly, and he looked at the entrance to the Underground Room in horror, blurting out: "Peter, we're finished!!!
