8 Powers

*Creak...*

"Parker you in there?" A voice sounded. Turning around, I saw the teenager from before. He had blonde hair and blue eyes. He wore a Knicks jersey and had a basketball in his right arm.

His body was rather lanky and had developing muscles underneath.

From the memories flashing in my mind, I knew him. Flash Thompson. In this dimension, Flash never bullied Peter, they were merely acquaintances on good terms.

Compared to the genius Peter Parker, Flash Thompson was a repeater. Once, Peter even tutored Flash in math for a good sum of 200$.

The teenager walked to every stall, his expression turned confused as he noticed that all the stalls were open and that Peter was not present.

His face paled. "I thought I saw him enter." He glanced at the mirror and beside it where students being students had written 'Bloody Mary'.

Gulping his saliva, he ran out of the bathroom. While I, stared at him in dumbfoundedness. So... I really did turn invisible.

I do not remember any Lizard Villain having the ability to turn invisible. Although it does sound accurate when I think about it.

Chameleons are lizards after all and they possess the ability to camouflage. Naturally, lizards are stealthy... and I can feel that my body has adapted to being silent.

Fuck! Lizard powers are actually underrated! How much more do I have? I wondered.

Other than me, I think only Miles and Invisible Woman possess the ability to turn invisible. It would be funny if I could shapeshift into people since chameleons kinda shape shift to their surroundings.

As the random thought surfaced in my brain, I paused. 'Can I?'

Closing my eyes, I began to envision Flash Thompson's face in front. His pale caucasian skin, blue eyes, high cheekbones, and a straight nose.

A few seconds later, my skin began to boil as if there was water underneath. Moments later, I felt something change within me. My skin started to crawl and my body began to tingle. Air sinked inside them as if absorption pores had opened up.

It was as if my face had produced an extra layer of exo skin. Touching it, I frowned. I can not feel it. Is it made up of dead cells?

Looking at my reflection, an expression of delight flooded on my visage. I looked exactly like Flash! Only if I were a few inches taller, maybe it would be perfect.

Closing my eyes, I envisioned myself taller but to my dismay, nothing changed. However, at that moment, I could feel new cells form as they manually increased the size of my bones.

Before I knew it, in front of the mirror stood a replica of Flash Thompson but in baggy pants and a hoodie.

"I am Flash?"

No, my voice was too much like Peter Parker's. If one knew Flash, they would be able to recognize that I am an impostor.

Closing my eyes, I tried to remember Flash's voice when he entered the bathroom. I could feel the heat in my throat as my cells altered.

"I... Am Flash."

Perfect.

This is a very powerful ability if used well. There are many uses for it. Instigation between two parties, stealing, assassination. A lot of uses.

A chuckle escaped my mouth. It is very similar to the mutant, Raven Darkhölme aka Mystique's ability. Actually... it is exactly like it.

This reminds me, mutants exist in this world. If I have an X gene I should try to awaken it. Maybe I will have to create another serum.

Currently, I am extremely happy. I could kiss someone. Lizard formula is the absolute best to grace this planet.

I am probably the first Lizard that is like this. Grabbing the handle of the door, I almost walked out when I remembered that I was still disguised as Flash.

Transforming back to my original state, a bit of weakness strained on my body and mind. I rested against the wall, letting myself breathe air properly.

So the weaknesses of this ability are similar to Mystique's as well huh...

The longer I maintain the form, the greater strain I feel. Since I did not maintain Flash's form for a long time, I did not feel the strain while in disguise but after I transformed back into the original.

However, like Mystique I seem to be unable to change my body scent. So people with dog-like noses or abilities should be able to notice that I am an impostor.

A pity but it's already pretty much fine.

A grin crept onto my face. I experimented a little more and found out some of my shapeshifting weaknesses.

1)I can't mimic personality or memory. For this, I will have to either act or have knowledge prior.

2)I can't mimic superpowers. Although I think there is a possibility I can copy physical attributes related to mutant powers.

Such as Wolverine's claws. I should be able to form them. Although they will be far inferior to the Real Wolverine's claws because his would be of adamantium while mine would be mere bone.

It's a good ability though. It can come in handy. It could strain a lot though since I believe it would be a hard process.

3) No change in smell.

With that in mind, I shook my head and left the bathroom. Directly heading toward the cafeteria. I was famished.

Before leaving, however, I cut my finger and fed it to my glove. I was surprised that it actually worked. My finger nevertheless to say, regenerated. Although it was fucking paining due to being newborn and being subjected to all kinds of stimulus.

While walking to the cafeteria. I pondered upon my newfound abilities.

Compared to Doctor Curtis Connor Lizard and the berserk Lizard Parker in the Spiderverse movie... my Lizard ability was a bit more subdued yet heavily different.

I also possess Lizard telepathy so as to control reptiles in a mile radius and pheromones that can cause one to be aggressive.

Walking past a high school couple, I sprayed the pheromones causing them to brawl instead of kissing. Other than that I possess partial superhuman strength, partial superhuman agility, and superhuman stamina.

Regeneration. A passive ability. Hardened greyish-white scaly skin that I can choose to form organically. It is similar to Spider-Man when he chooses to web.

No six-foot tail, no razor-sharp teeth or claws, no lizard transformation... just the ability to sharpen nails and lizard vision(something the other lizards did not possess).

No cold-blooded body which is a win in my opinion, since it was a huge weakness for all the other Lizard Villains nor do I have the ability to turn into a Man-Lizard.

Lastly, Shapeshifting and Invisibility. The former has weaknesses but the latter has not strained me even once. I can stay invisible for prolonged periods but it will make my body tired and give insomnia that is all. How do I know this? I have a very high IQ brain.

These are all the abilities that the Complete Lizard Serum has granted me. Nothing more, nothing less. I am satisfied. I have gained a lot.

Next, I will try to make a downgraded version of Lizard Serum. To make my own Lizard Army. After that is done, I will make a super-downgraded version of that downgraded version that can permanently regenerate limbs upon a dose.

I should even try to make a steroid without side-effects so that I can have my body become fucking ripped and drugs to reach peak body potential.

Man... I feel like a supervillain. It did not help that I had a deep smirk on my face as I walked to the food counter and a boisterous muahahaha laughter resounding in my head.

"A Cheese Pizza please."
