[Rio de Janeiro: 21/11/2009]

01:15PM

The beach city has changed a lot over the last few days, to begin with the city did not receive a crime report anywhere, and this had a huge impact on people. Normally young people were asked to go home after a certain time but now the streets were always full of people, small businesses were popping up and this was improving the mood.

Playgrounds were now free of drug sellers, football fields now always had young people of various ages playing, men and women could walk with their cell phones on the street without fear of being robbed.

At first everyone didn't understand why the criminals were disappearing, at first they thought it was a miracle, until the president himself publicly announced the country's own superhero. A completely Brazilian superhero certified by the government, this had a lot of repercussions in several media outlets.

And now the Cariocas knew who had made their city safe, and they hadn't felt that feeling for a long time, he didn't just protect them from street criminals, the civilian population of the outskirts often suffered from violence from the military police, which was dismantled by the government!

It was quite controversial but the Rio government felt that with Sunspot's presence there was no need for a force like the military police, so much so that the city's main police station was renovated into a base where a team assisted Sunspot.

Of course there were complaints from the highest levels of the military police, but they all remained silent after many were taken into preventive detention and detained with lots of evidence of various crimes, mainly criminal association.

Having said all this, other changes came in the form of a new state-owned company that was first launched in Rio in the city center, I.M.A, or advanced mechanical ideas, focused on technological and urban development, which together with the federal university of Rio launched hundreds of projects and with such investment that has never been seen before in these areas.

First, there was the basic sanitation project throughout the state, in addition to the grounding of electrical wires, displacing Enel, which, seeing this, tried to compete but had to leave the state, as the energy provided by I.M.A was clean and completely renewable and revolutionized a lot in this regard.

This energy technology was the solar engine, basically a reactor that worked like a mini star that generated enough energy to power a city for ten years and with much less space.

In addition to the urban reform that aimed to rebuild and reform the favelas around the city and the state, using MS-powered machinery they managed to rebuild a large part of the city, bringing security and comfort to residents.

All of these projects brought in themselves many jobs which greatly increased the population's income, all of this was turning into even more approval from the people towards the I.M.A, the government and of course the main face of the I.M.A Roberto da Costa.

The funny thing is that many saw Roberto's face on television showing a new project but didn't relate him to the national superhero, but Roberto related it to the Superman effect, he, like Roberto, messes up his hair and wears glasses and no one suspects.

He decided it was one of the cosmic rules, glasses hide you better than a mask but in any case he was in his laboratory while working on his hydrographic filter machine.

Governors from several states requested the installation of these machines, many mainly from the Northeast and he was more than happy to assist with this while modifying his inventions, he developed one for large masses the size of an apple, one of industrial size with the size of a house and others of varying prices.

His company was generating a lot of profit even if it was not his objective, but he would not complain because all this money would be invested in new projects, for example he developed new computer processors with a group from Rio's college and launched a cheap cell phone on the domestic market. and very efficient.

None of the crazy prices of Apple, WayneTec or Lexcorp, and completely based on the national currency so they wouldn't have to worry about spying on certain individuals.

But none of that compared to his newest success.

An unshaven Roberto stared in awe at a bottle of slightly luminescent turquoise liquid with a Cherie smile.

"Finally!!" He shouted happily.

[Palácio do Planalto: 05:34PM]

Roberto POV:

Several days of work and sleepless nights, and I finally managed to synthesize a new serum from Bane's venom. Bane's formula basically worked like a steroid, with a limited time of effect and increasing chemical dependency depending on the time of use.

My biggest difficulty was making the effect permanent and removing any very problematic psychological effects, in the end having a berserker army was not what I was looking for. So I worked a lot and tinkered with the chemical formula, eliminating and adding elements, but what killed the issue was the addition of my own energy.

The radiation that my energy emits seemed to have different effects in different mixtures, so I tested until I had the desired effect, and the final result was tested on three rats and a chimpanzee, the result was that we had three super rats and an intelligent chimpanzee and with reasoning ability.

"Hey boss, how long until they get here?!" The chimp asked as he stood next to me on a chair.

That's right, my chimpanzee spoke and I named him Hanuman, Hanu for short, he had the same physical capabilities as a human at his peak, with agility as his main attribute.

"Coming soon Hanu, they can't hold meetings that easily." I say as I mess with his head as he laughs.

That's when everyone I called came in, they were the same three from the first meeting plus President Humberto, it was time to present what would change the world.

"Hello gentlemen, ma'am? I want you to meet Hanuman." I say showing my simian friend.

"Hey?" He said shyly raising his hand.

The four of them widen their eyes, and after a question and answer session everyone was on the same tracks.

"So this serum can permanently increase physical capabilities?" Daniel asked, he was undoubtedly the most interested for obvious reasons.

"I developed three serums, the weakest would bring a stunted man to his physical peak in his mid-thirties, the second would give a twofold increase in strength and the last one has the same ability as Venom to give ten times the physical ability of a man would basically be as strong as Bane." He said surprising everyone.

"Why did you make three serums with so many differences?" Humberto asked with a frown.

"I believe everyone knows the value of having improved individuals, at the moment I am taking care of public security in the State of Rio de Janeiro, I can try to increase my area of ​​activity but then I won't have time for my research." I begin my speech.

"So I thought why not increase our workforce? One serum for the police, another for the military and one to sell at high prices to other countries." I say smiling at the end.
