Chapter 2

/

Hey y'all! I'm really glad you like it so far. Some of you have asked about Harry, and I decided to replace him with Alex. Alex was born a few years earlier than Harry and the Osborns decided one kid was enough. Hence the different name and the age difference.

Anyway, onwards!

The armor was a success. Compared to Hammer's bulky, slow, and relatively weak armoring, the Atlas Armor won in a landslide.

Not only did the individual armors allow more freedom of movement, but it defended against most attacks. Explosions would only disorient them as opposed to severely injuring or killing the soldier, while Hammer's volatile fuel source would not only cost more, but also be a cause for danger should it be cut or catch fire.

Hammer's attempt at an Exo-Skeleton looked exactly like what Quest Aero-Space tried to make in the Raimi Spider-Man movie. Big, bulky, hard to maneuver, and overall pathetic when compared to the likes of Stark's suits.

Then again, Stark's Suits are Stark Tech. The guy built a prototype in a cave using cannibalized parts. The fact it turned out as good as it did is a testament to his genius.

The Atlas Armor on the other hand looked more like the Goblin armor in The Amazing Spider-Man 2, just far more complete than the version in the movie. Acting more like battle armor than a hollow robot like the Iron Man suit or the Hammer Exo-Suit, the Atlas Armor was far more utilitarian, weighing about eighty pounds altogether, the main technological parts were designed to take the load off of the wearer and keep them agile. While it didn't have as much weaponry as the Exo-Suit, the Atlas Armor offered more mobility and protection.

In the end, my plan was successful. I bought Norman and Stromm time to rework the Globulin Green back to formula.

If the serum was successful, it shouldn't be that difficult to convince Norman to let me take some. Maybe even ask him to take some once I was sure there would be no adverse side effects.

Beyond that however, I needed more than just the Oz Formula.

While I admit that the Oz Formula was awesome, it was basically the Super Soldier Serum on steroids, it wouldn't be enough to fight off people like Abomination or Thanos.

I'd die in minutes.

Not that I really wanted to fight the likes of Abomination in the first place, but considering the possibility was something that needed to be done.

Who knows, the fight may take them out of Harlem and send them into the middle of Oscorp's labs.

I needed an upgrade. Something that I could get while still keeping an eye on Norman and the Oz Formula. Until that stuff was perfected, I did not want him going Goblin on me.

That would not be good at all.

On the bright side, it seemed like Peter had been bit already. Spider-Man had made headlines as the Masked Menace according to the Daily Bugle, so if Norman did go Goblin, there would be someone to stop him.

From what I remembered in the original MCU, there were several ways to get powers. Hulk's blood or just Gamma radiation, Power Armor like Stark's, the weird super serum stuff they used on Abomination before the Gamma blood, Extremis, and a few things from the TV shows.

How I wished I had watched them. Would make this a bit easier.

Didn't Luke Cage become invincible while in a Georgia prison? Seagate or something?

That would definitely be something to look into.

First and foremost however is the Power Suit. I've already had some combat training, though I was nowhere near a professionals level, I could hold my own against a regular untrained baseline human. Which, considering the amount of enhanced people in this universe… is kind of sad.

Maybe I could check in with Dr. Octavius? Their knowledge on robotics almost rival Tony Stark's. Maybe we could integrate the octo arms into my Atlas Armor…

Something to think about.

In the mean time I can simply perfect and modify a suit of the Atlas Armor for my personal use, and once the Oz Formula has been perfected, I could theoretically change the armor entirely and add more weight and tech to it…

But that's for later. For now, I work with what I've got and hope for the best.

"As of today, Oscorp Industries has surpassed Hammer Industries as the principle supplier to the United States Military." Norman says with a winning smile. "In short, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Board, costs are down, revenues are up, and our stock has never been higher!"

I was currently sitting besides Norman at the head of the table. Norman had decided to use this as a teaching experience for me.

Personally I didn't care. All I did care about was the bombshell I was going to drop.

"Wonderful news, Norman. Wonderful news. In fact, it's the reason we're selling the company."

"What?" Norman asks.

"Yes, Hammer is recapitalizing after your sons Atlas Armor stole the contract from them, expanding! They made a tender offer that we can't ignore." the Board Member said.

Smirking, I simply raise my hand like a good boy and wait to be called on, interrupting Norman's slightly more sane rant.

"Yes, Alex?"

"Tell me… If a majority stockholder were to disprove of this purchase, what would happen?"

"Then we would be forced to decline." The Board member said. I should really learn their names…

Glancing at Norman, I realized he was looking at me with a raised eyebrow. He's already taught me what would happen and he knows I've studied business. He knows I'm planning something.

"Well then, that's good to know. In that case, I'd like to formally state that I'm not impressed with the purchase."

Immediately there were different reactions to my statement.

Norman had this shit eating grin as he leaned back in his seat while the head Board Member's eyes widened in shock.

"Oh, you didn't know?" I asked the Board collectively. "I own fifty one percent of the company stock as of last night. I will say it was a pain in the ass to do, but worth it I think."

Looking at Norman with a wide grin, I turn back to the Board.

"So, I'd like you to formally decline Hammer's offer please. Oscorp isn't for sale."

Step Two is a success it seems.

After that, things went back to normal basically. Norman and Stromm went back to fixing the Oz formula, though I did help now and then, even suggesting the use of Vita Rays. I went back to the Atlas Armor's and started making them tougher and more weaponized than the original version.

Overall, a pretty standard day in Oscorp.

Sorry for the short Chapter, but after the sale, I wasn't entirely sure to bring it next without time skipping. So next chapter will be longer and will show off the completion of the Oz Formula and the start of Iron Man. We will also be introducing some new characters.

Due to the new Timeline I cooked up and the mixture of the X-Men/Fantastic Four/Avengers, some characters may take on personality traits or the appearance of their alternate counterparts. I.E. Quicksilver may be less "You did not see that coming?" and more like his X-Men counterpart. Also, due to Peter-Man being in action before Iron-Man 1, I will be using a different Spider-Person in his place when Homecoming comes around.

I'll give you a hint, it's Miles.

Spider-Miles will be the Spider-Man in Homecoming and Far From Home. That gives us more Spider-Content and since I love Miles, I figure it works out.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy and I am so grateful of all the reviews I've gotten so far!

Thanks again
