For anyone, this is a very scary thing - you are training with Captain America, trying to get familiar with the powerful power you have just gained, looking forward to a bright future, and then you open your eyes and find that you are back in your apartment in San Francisco.
In the meantime, everything starts again.
This is not the same as time travel. Time travel is at best leaving the familiar environment and accepting a new one. But now everything is familiar, which makes starting over again more like a nightmare.
How does Bruce accept this?
No matter how unintelligent he is, he can still be sure that what he just experienced was not a dream at all. No sensible adult will confuse dreams and reality.
Bruce is not a psychopath at all, and he has his own merits. At most, he has a paranoid revenge mood for the death of his parents. He has not lost himself in the day-to-day suspicion and caution, and has become as pure as other Batmans.
Mental illness.
So his sanity was enough for him to judge that he was suddenly reborn. What he experienced was not a dream sequence in some bloody horror movie. He actually gained strength and was reset back to a weak period.
I wonder who can accept all this?
Think about it, you always feel that you can't do many things, but compared with the people around you, you think this is normal. Who can save a hopeless city with just a few years of accumulation? If it's a big deal, just take your time.
chant.
But suddenly one day, you came to a game and found that you in other universes were incredibly strong. Yes, other Batmans couldn't save Gotham, but how could Bruce not envy his own strength in other universes?
What about skills?
What can be seen with the naked eye is that this is not something that can be honed through experience. Bruce is the one with the least talent among all Batmans, and it will be useless for him to hone it for decades.
This will definitely bring another kind of despair, that is, even such a powerful Batman can't save Gotham, so what's the point of his own efforts?
I might as well give up. It's a dead end anyway, so why should I keep working hard until the end?
It can be said that what makes Bruce continue to persevere is his obsession with the mysterious death of his parents.
But suddenly things took a turn, and I came to a new world. Not only could I obtain powerful equipment through missions, but I also gained extremely powerful power from the experience of this world.
Bruce knows that this power is stronger than other Batmans. Other Batmans are stronger in intelligence. Great wisdom can indeed bring about powerful changes, but who says that a strong body can't do it?
And everything went very smoothly. I almost painlessly gained strength that was much stronger than ordinary people, and I also had an experienced, kind and upright senior to guide me.
There is still a crisis that needs to be solved urgently and many tasks that can be beneficial, which can be used to hone the strength and skills that you have just acquired. Isn't this all for the best?
It is conceivable that when he returns from his studies here and returns to his hometown in glory, even if he cannot completely save Gotham, he can at least make this dark city a little better.
It's true that just a little better is enough. Bruce doesn't want much in the first place. He's not as ill as other Batmans. He has to make Gotham as sunny as Metropolis.
Precisely because he has experienced too many failures and realized that he is a failed man, he feels that it would be good if the parents of one more child would not be shot.
I am almost done with it all, everything is at my fingertips, right in front of my eyes, just follow the step by step and it will be fine.
Just then, time resets.
How could Bruce accept this?
If I have never seen hope, then darkness is acceptable. But not only have I seen hope, but I am already on the road to hope. How can I not try my best to grasp that glimmer of light?
As mentioned before, Bruce did not think that the reason he gained strength was because he was bitten by a spider. He also thought it was the Extremis virus. Through the memory of previous reincarnations, he knew that the Extremis virus was probably related to the water source, so Bruce began to drink water desperately.
.
Elsa also arrived as scheduled, but unfortunately Bruce couldn't accept the sudden loss of hope at this time. With an ordinary person's attitude, like a mediocre ordinary person, he began to save everything in the way he could.
Bruce turned on the faucet, drank a lot of water, collapsed on the sofa and began to wait for his mutation.
The mutation did occur, but unfortunately the mutation of the Extremis virus was not that powerful at all. At this time, White Can did not start the three rounds of virus release at all.
For those homeless people who had always been ugly and thin, the change was earth-shattering, but for Bruce, who already had an extremely handsome appearance and a strong body, this change was minimal.
After experiencing changes from 1 to 10, how can he accept the change from 1 to 2? Besides, this change is not even 2, at most it is 1 more.
Bruce was not willing to give in at all. He remembered his previous experience, so he went to apply for a job at the construction site. When the group of poisoners came to the construction site, he rushed out, desperately grabbed the potion from their hands, and drank it all.
In one's own mouth.
Things are out of control, completely out of control.
The second-stage virus is not that stable, so it needs a lot of water to dilute it. Otherwise, wouldn't it be enough to just sell the medicine in a white can?
Bruce mutated into a monster after swallowing an overdose of the Extremis virus, and completely lost his mind due to the side effects of the Extremis virus.
The result after that can only be said that we also have our own Hulk in San Francisco.
Nick, who was squatting in front of the screen, quickly pressed the pause button. This was not okay. Although Batman turning into Spider-Man might involve a copyright dispute, turning into a monster would vilify the image of the other party's important character, which was also not okay.
What else can we do? Let’s start over.
If Schiller and the other three were there, they might have stopped Nick, because repeatedly resetting the timeline is very dangerous. In many cases, the more you go back in time, the less likely you are to get the desired results.
But Schiller was busy looking for Spider-Man. He was the person who least believed that Spider-Man would commit suicide. Peter Parker would never lose his true nature in any adversity, and he rarely even suffered from depression and depression.
It can be seen from Spider-Man's previous experience in Gotham that although the language in the diary he wrote is very humorous, the details revealed between the lines can also be seen how dark and depressing the atmosphere in Gotham is. Peter is still very optimistic.
, not even the clown can break his defense.
Also, the zombie universe has become so chaotic and desperate, and Spider-Man can rely on his kind heart to forcefully awaken his own sanity. How could such a person commit suicide?
And there is another paradox here. If Peter Parker committed suicide when Bruce first arrived, where did the Spider-Man who called to announce the death of Captain America come from?
He couldn't die first, then be resurrected, then run to see the dead Captain America and then make a phone call, right?
There is definitely something fishy about this.
But no matter what happened, Schiller had to fish Spider-Man and Captain America out.
When they heard that Schiller might go to Death to recruit people again, Loki and Strange were not at ease, because as we all know, when Schiller meets Death, it means that he is going to do something big again.
Loki went back to find Hela, preparing to wait in the Kingdom of Death first. Strange followed Schiller and asked him to calm down, at least not to cause any earth-shattering events during the Doujie test.
With everyone else away, Nick saw that the direction of this timeline was no longer right, and he had to reset it even if he didn't want to reset it.
So Nick could only cut the future of this timeline and go back to when Bruce first arrived.
It's better now, Bruce returned to his apartment in San Francisco with the memory of two reincarnations.
Can Bruce not be crazy? Isn't this just God working against him?
Other Batmans were born with everything, a genius-like IQ, a strong willpower, a strong body, and even a big family with a complicated and awkward relationship, but still a warm family, but he had nothing.
Is this fair?
Once people start asking this question, it is inevitable that their thoughts will go all the way to the end.
Generally speaking, Batman will not be too thirsty for power. There must be a part of his brain warning him that too much power means losing control.
But unfortunately, once a person's wisdom does not reach a certain level, it is difficult to remain rational under temptation.
Bruce has experienced the power of power. He knows how much he needs this power. For his responsibility and his mission, he must obtain it.
Bruce knew that this reset was not accidental, and that someone must be preventing something, so he decided not to take the original route and not go to the construction site to snatch virus preparations, but to go directly to the Osborne Group's experimental center.
This time he did not have super strength, so he did not get Osborne's special attention, but it was obvious that from the previous two resets, Bruce knew that someone would contact him to obtain information about the Osborne Group, so
He told the Osborne Group about this.
Sure enough, Norman Osborne, an old fox, was very sensitive to the fact that someone wanted to steal his group's intelligence. Everything was back on track. The people from the Osborne Group brought Bruce to New York.
This time Bruce didn't have the spider sense, and he didn't choose to escape, but chose to face Norman Osborn head-on.
Turns out Bruce was wrong again.
He learned from Osborne that the Osborne Group was only investigating the virus in San Francisco. They were not the culprits, they did not have the original source of the virus, and they were not likely to provide anyone with powerful power.
Bruce didn't give up at all, because he didn't have the ability to tell whether Osborne was lying, so he assumed that Osborne was trying to cover up the truth, so he didn't tell him the truth.
He was kicked out of the building by Osborn, but this time Elsa helped him a lot. Bruce proposed to enter the Osborn Group to search. Elsa was not sure why he did this, but she still helped him.
Helped him mask the Osborne Group's security system for a period of time.
Bruce took advantage of the night to enter the building of the Osborne Group. He originally wanted to find out if there was any virus.
But to his disappointment, what Old Osborne said was probably true. Although Osborne Group is a biochemical pharmaceutical company, it has not conducted virus research for a long time.
However, Bruce's luck was really good. Bruce did not find the Extremis virus, but he found the symbiote armor. To be precise, it was the unfinished Green Goblin armor.
This time, Bruce did not become Spider-Man, but became his mortal enemy the Green Goblin.
In fact, this is better than him becoming Spider-Man, but the bad thing is that the Green Goblin suit has not been completed at this time, and Bruce did not put it on voluntarily, but broke the isolation chamber and became possessed. This resulted in
He lost control again.
Nick also found that it was not possible to continue like this. He saw that Bruce's actions were very strange. It was very likely that his memory had not been reset and he was trapped in the vortex of pursuing power.
However, considering that continuing this timeline may cause irreversible harm to Bruce, and it is also a copyright infringement, Nick chose to cut off this timeline again and reset everything back to the beginning.
