Chapter 1229

Especially in the comics, many high-tech devices come from here, and it even has the power to fight against Iron Man's Stark Tech.

Besides Morbius, Peter Parker and Tiberius Stone, an ordinary person who once was Iron Man's romantic rival, were also employees of Horizon Labs.

The name Tiberius Stone sounds very unfamiliar to everyone because he is just an ordinary person and really doesn't have any bright performances, but in the universe numbered 2099, his grandson became Spider-Man.

That is—Spider-Man 2099!

Incidentally, in order to cure his family's hereditary disease, Norman Osborn, besides Professor Curt Connors, had also looked for Dr. Morbius of Horizon Labs, but was rejected by Dr. Morbius, who was bent on saving himself.

You have a disease, and I have a disease too.

You are dying, and I'm not doing much better.

Everyone for themselves!

Perhaps because they had dealt with each other before, or perhaps Norman Osborn used some means.

In short, after dealing with Professor Curt Connors and the laboratory, Su Quan had already become one of the investors in Dr. Morbius's blood disease project.

Horizon Labs.

In Dr. Morbius's laboratory, Su Quan met all the relevant personnel for this project, including another investor.

Loxias Crown, who suffered from a blood disease almost identical to Morbius', met him at the same medical institution when they were children and became friends.

He was as talented as Morbius, but Morbius had the talent of a genius, while he had the wealth of a tycoon!

For so many years, he had been silently supporting Morbius from behind; otherwise, with Morbius's physical condition, even if he were more talented, few people would dare to invest in his research before he had proven himself.

What if Morbius had a relapse and kicked the bucket halfway through the research?

After meeting the relevant personnel, Su Quan announced a piece of news: Martine Bancroft would become his spokesperson for this project, exercising relevant powers on his behalf.

Then, he started chatting with Loxias Crown.

That's right, it was Loxias Crown, not Dr. Morbius!

Both were anti-heroes, but Morbius gave him a far less favorable impression than Eddie Brock and Venom, the lethal protectors.

Morbius was somewhat like Peter Parker's father, Richard Parker, also taking an investor's money to do research, but after the research succeeded, he thought the research was too dangerous and then righteously refused to hand it over to his employer, forcing the employer onto the path of a villain.

The biggest difference between the two was that one benefited himself, while the other benefited his son.

Of course, what their character was like had nothing to do with Su Quan, as long as it didn't affect his plans and profits.

Su Quan invested in this project and participated in the birth of the "vampire" for three main reasons.

One: Martine Bancroft.

Two: The "bat serum" or "vampire serum" developed by Morbius.

Three: The vampire abilities of Morbius and Loxias Crown, or even Martine Bancroft.

Taking Morbius as an example, although he needed to consume human blood regularly, he didn't fear sunlight, garlic, crosses, silver, etc., like a real vampire.

In terms of abilities, as a mutant type, super strength and super defense were definitely standard, and he also possessed extremely strong self-healing ability, bat sonar super radar, flight, and the iconic rapid movement.

Oh right, there was also the ability to summon and control bats.

"Mr. Su Quan, I have a question. I wonder if you can clear it up for me." Loxias Crown signaled to Su Quan with a smile.

"Want to know why I invested in this project?"

"Yes."

Su Quan glanced at Martine Bancroft not far away and said with a smile: "Two reasons, I suppose."

Loxias Crown followed his gaze, understood, and said in a tone that only men would understand: "You have a good eye. What's the second reason?"

Su Quan shrugged: "I think highly of Morbius's talent; this project will definitely succeed!"

Loxias Crown said with a smile: "I really didn't expect you to have more confidence in this project than we do!"

"Why wouldn't I?"

"Aren't you worried that his research will fail?"

"Not worried."

"Why?"

"Because I have never failed so far. Not in the past, not now, and I won't in the future!"

"Uh—you are really confident."

Loxias Crown was left speechless by this level of confidence.

But regardless, seeing him believe in Morbius so much and believe that this project would definitely succeed, Loxias Crown felt a bit more comforted.

For him and Morbius, this project was truly—succeed or die trying!

Su Quan looked at Loxias Crown and suddenly joked with a smile: "I don't know why, but this face of yours always makes me want to call you Doctor."

Loxias Crown laughed dumbly, slowly raised his finger to point at himself, and then pointed at Morbius: "Honestly, I've always felt that I look more like a doctor than him. He really doesn't care about his appearance at all, is too unkempt, and completely lacks the temperament a great doctor should have."

Su Quan nodded in agreement; the contrast in appearance between Loxias Crown and Morbius was indeed very large.

Not long after, Loxias Crown and Morbius would turn against each other, and Loxias Crown, who had been tricked by Morbius, would therefore become a villain.

But this face of his couldn't really be a villain in Su Quan's eyes. Why? Because he looked exactly like the protagonist in a TV show called Doctor Who.

This protagonist, who called himself the Doctor, was a Time Lord and had a vehicle called the TARDIS, which looked like an old-fashioned telephone booth on the outside but was actually a spaceship capable of traveling through space and time.

In addition, the Doctor could regenerate, and every time the Doctor regenerated, his appearance, personality, and even gender would be different.

Loxias Crown looked exactly like the Eleventh Doctor.

Coincidentally.

His predecessor, the Tenth Doctor, looked exactly like the Purple Man whom he had killed in the Marvel world.

PS: Many American drama fans should have heard of the show Doctor Who, a show with a very long broadcast span.

Also, here is a picture of Loxias Crown.
