Mark had already told him, when facing these villains, just fight them without mercy, especially characters like Mysterio. So Max didn't hold back at all and directly transformed into his powerful form, unleashing a million volts. Mysterio, being an ordinary person, couldn't escape the electrical attack.
In a critical moment, a figure swiftly passed by—it was Vulture. He had put on his wing-like combat suit at some point. Astonishingly, his combat suit didn't resemble the bulky ones Mark had seen in the movie "Far From Home." His suit surprisingly employed nanotechnology, and beneath the clothes on his chest was a glowing Ark Reactor!
Could this guy be from a world where Spider-Tom failed to stop him from stealing Stark Industries' property?
Vulture's next words confirmed Mark's speculation. With one hand holding Mysterio, he smashed through the furniture in the room and stopped on the other side, smiling triumphantly. "Iron Man's stuff is indeed useful. Unfortunately, it's mine now!"
"You stole Iron Man's stuff, and he didn't come after you?" A voice sounded next to him.
It turned out Mark had directly used Quantum Blink to arrive next to Vulture. Vulture was startled, dared not continue showing off, and quickly turned around to crash through the wall, attempting to escape.
However, how could Mark let them go? He shot out spider silk from both hands, one on each wing of Vulture. Tremendous force pulled Vulture back just as he was about to take off after smashing through the wall.
Boom!
A tremendous force erupted instantly.
On each wingtip of Vulture's wings, there was a small jet nozzle. Leveraging the tremendous propulsion force from these nozzles, Vulture gained the upper hand again in this struggle.
Although Mark's strength was in the hundreds of tons, his body still weighed only tens of kilograms. The crucial point was whether he could hold onto this thing—his strength was one thing, but the friction under his feet was another. Even if he stepped into the floor of this room, it couldn't stop the combined force of these propulsion devices, and he was being pulled forward.
In a critical moment, Max arrived! He turned one hand into a lightning spear, pointing it directly at Vulture.
Seeing that he was surrounded by Spider-Man and Electro, Vulture had no time to care about Mysterio's life now. He decisively dropped Mysterio, controlled his wings with his hands, swaying left and right. At the same time, he increased the output power of the jet and also opened a few small holes on his wings, from which several micro-missiles were launched.
Great, more of Iron Man's technology...
Mark was a bit speechless and puzzled. Was this Vulture from a world after Iron Man already sacrificed himself? Why did he have so much of Iron Man's technology and hadn't been taken down by Iron Man?
However, he didn't want to confront these missiles head-on. He decisively let go, dodging to the side.
Boom, boom, boom!
Micro-missiles landed on the ceiling and floor of the building, directly blasting away a considerable portion of the floors. Debris from the structure fell all around.
Although Max took a direct hit from the micro-missiles, he could transform into an ionized form, and the shell of the Ark Reactor on his chest was specially made, so this level of impact had no effect on him.
Among the four present, only Mysterio was pitiful. His expertise in mental manipulation was entirely ineffective in this kind of high-intensity battle. The sounds of combat alone were enough to render his speech unintelligible. What could he use to bewitch people now? Vulture's micro-missiles, moreover, directly claimed his life. Mysterio was instantly blown into chunks of meat...
"Mr. Strange!"
Seeing things escalating and Vulture seemingly ready to accelerate his escape, Mark promptly called for reinforcements.
As Mark finished speaking, an opening appeared on the spot, and Doctor Strange walked out of it. With a punch through the air, Vulture disappeared on the spot.
"How's the situation over there?" Mark used spider silk to pull himself up against the wall nearby and asked.
Doctor Strange shook his head slightly. "Only found a bear guy in Rhino armor. He's been stripped of his armor and thrown into the dungeon. What about your side?"
He raised an eyebrow, puzzled by the unexpectedly intense scene here. A building with dozens of floors had lost several levels from the explosions, narrowly avoiding structural collapse. Additionally, around the area, over a hundred people had been knocked out and scattered about.
Mark was also a bit speechless.
Both Vulture and Mysterio were different from what he had imagined and more challenging than he had thought.
Vulture seemed to have stolen a lot of Iron Man's equipment in his world. In just this short period of fighting, Mark found no less than five different things related to Iron Man on Vulture's steel wings.
The main material for the steel wings was the same as Iron Man's armor - nano-gold titanium alloy.
Each feather tip of the steel wings carried a small jet thruster.
There were a total of three Ark Reactors, serving as energy sources, placed on his chest and each wing.
There was also a faint repulsive force that Mark sensed when he blinked next to Vulture. It should be a micro force field similar to the one on Iron Man's armor, mainly used to protect the suit from collateral damage, such as shrapnel. However, it was not strong; just a small auxiliary device.
Moreover, when he observed Vulture up close just now, he discovered that the pair of steel wings on Vulture was actually tightly connected to his arms. It felt like he had used nanotechnology to link the steel wings with the neurons in his hands and back, making it seem as if the wings were truly a part of his body.
It was somewhat akin to a cyborg.
Well, this middle-aged guy was quite cyberpunk.
Additionally, there were probably some auxiliary devices that Mark couldn't identify.
After all, he had never truly interacted or fought with Iron Man. His understanding of Iron Man's technology mostly came from the moment when Spider-Tom upgraded his equipment.
As for Mysterio.
This guy didn't use virtual reality technology, but his ability to manipulate onlookers was truly headache-inducing.
If it weren't for Mark turning the tables, pretending to be fooled, appearing as a "superhero exhausted from rushing around to prevent innocent bystanders from getting hurt," which attracted Mysterio's mockery, followed by Mark using his quantum abilities to traverse through the web and take him down.
If it were Middle-Aged Toby Spider or Spider-Tom, they might have been tormented by Mysterio's tricks.
Unable to fight and unable to locate him.
Luckily, Mysterio is dead.
Mark shared his discoveries with Doctor Strange. Simultaneously, his words were relayed to the other two in action through the earpiece.
Finally, he cautioned them, "Due to potential deviations in the development process of each parallel universe, the abilities wielded by these supervillains may differ from what we're accustomed to. So, don't try to confront them based on past experiences; be vigilant!"
Middle-Aged Toby Spider and Spider-Tom assured him that they would be careful.
"I'll go to the Mirror Dimension first and see if I can deal with that guy."
After Mark finished speaking, Doctor Strange exchanged a greeting with him and then entered the Mirror Dimension.
Mark silently mourned for Vulture for a few seconds.
Although he stole Iron Man's technology, he still wasn't Tony himself, and the Mirror Dimension didn't have as much logistical support. When encountering Doctor Strange, he hoped the "feathers" on his steel wings wouldn't be plucked out.
"Max, are you okay?" Mark then turned to Max.
Max shook his head, "The aftermath here?"
"Let the professionals handle the clean-up work," Mark said as he descended along the wall.
He spent a little time in the ruins, ensuring that the Mysterio was completely gone before letting out a sigh of relief.
"Let's go, Max, we continue."
"Okay."
The two set off again.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
"Peter, a building on North 2nd Street is on fire, there might be enemies present!" MJ informed Spider-Tom through the earpiece.
Spider-Tom immediately agreed and swiftly glided towards the location.
"Mr. Parker, there's a robbery in progress on the street to your left." Ned also found a suspicious incident and relayed it to Middle-Aged Toby Spider.
"Mr. Mark."
"Mr. Max."
For the next period, perhaps due to the consecutive losses they suffered, the "Sinister Six" seemed to have quieted down.
Successive events were just some ordinary incidents, and there was no trace of the remaining "three" villains.
Doctor Strange soon conveyed good news: after the battle, he had dismantled Vulture's armor completely, and now it was locked in the basement magical prison.
Moreover, he used magic to interrogate Vulture and learned the identities of the remaining three.
One was "Kraven The Hunter," another was "Sandman,", and the last one, codenamed "Boss."
Among them, Kraven and Sandman was already in their list, and they had made preparations for them.
However, this "Boss."
Could it be Kingpin?
Kingpin was indeed the boss of the criminal underworld, and he appeared in the post-credits scene of The Amazing Spider-Man 2, seemingly helping the captured Harry Osborn contact other villains to deal with Spider-Man.
But Kingpin's appearances in the movie were so scarce that Mark had almost no relevant information about him.
Moreover, Mark had a feeling that this Boss should be someone else.
Who else had such strong leadership and intimidation skills to bring together these unruly supervillains?
...
Boom!
Spider-Tom broke through the crispy glass, holding a little girl, and jumped out of the burning building.
Amidst the praise from the firefighters and the heartfelt thanks from the little girl's family, Spider-Tom was about to leave.
However, at this moment, his Spider-Sense suddenly tingled.
He leaped high with force.
Boom!
An alloy spear descended from the sky, piercing the ground where Spider-Tom had just stood.
Before Spider-Tom could rejoice, his body was grabbed in mid-air by another figure and ruthlessly slammed into the burning building behind!
