Marvel: Master Of Role Playing

Chapter 66 – New Weapons

Norman didn’t show much excitement as he carefully went through the equipment he had stolen from Oscorp at great cost.

Once everything was accounted for, he put it away and turned toward his workbench.

He wasn’t foolish enough to just rely on using Luthor’s inventions to kill him.

His arsenal needed something of his own.

On the workbench lay what appeared to be a simple skateboard, but in fact, it was a personal flight device—his true trump card.

Only by gaining air superiority could he confidently use Luthor’s own weapons to take him down.

Norman wasn’t opposed to creating his own weapons, but after leaving Oscorp, he no longer had the resources to secretly re

"Luthor, I’ve heard that your Scarlet Serum has started circulating within terrorist organizations. You might want to watch out for pests within your company."

"Understood." Reid nodded in acknowledgment of Tony's warning.

However, Tony wouldn’t know that unlike Stark Industries, where Obadiah secretly smuggled weapons, the smuggling of serum within Oscorp was something Reid allowed.

While he had gained immense power through the serum and nearly seized control of Oscorp, he couldn’t let the U.S. government grow too powerful because of the serum. 

Thus, under his tacit approval, smuggling was bound to occur.

He intended to change the world to make it more suitable for his life, but at present, his power was insufficient, and he needed to stabilize the current global order.

Just like with the Scarlet Serum, under Reid's special attention, the serum could indeed turn its users into superhumans and give the U.S. military an advantage. But its high cost and various limitations would ensure that the U.S. could gain an upper hand but never dominate the entire world.

Thinking about all he had done to maintain this fragile stability, a sense of anxiety crept over Reid.

He wanted to complete Luthor's mission quickly.

Although Luthor's abilities were formidable, to fully harness them, he needed to use Luthor's identity to control the world step by step, both politically and economically. 

That was just too troublesome.

Superpowers would be much better. Even Aquaman would do—at least then he'd have a powerful superpowered individual for himself.

‘Norman, when will you finally make your move? Emily still needs one last push to truly fall.’
