After suffering two crushing defeats, Tony Stark didn't give up. Instead, it fueled his determination. During this time, he turned down the models who came knocking, his expensive sports cars gathered dust, and even Pepper was neglected. All his energy was focused on improving the MK series.
He wanted to build an armor that could defeat the Green Goblin.
The original MK2 was reconfigured and equipped with more powerful weapons. Mystique's genes also allowed him to simulate more mutant abilities through the military's database.
But after fighting the Green Goblin, Tony Stark knew these flashy abilities were not enough to threaten him. To truly defeat him, he needed a higher intensity of energy output.
The MK3 was born.
Unlike the MK2, the MK3 was more like a space weapon. It was massive, over eighteen meters long, and weighed over twenty tons. It orbited Earth in space, and its large Arc Reactor had even more power than the one in Stark Tower.
It had three attack modes. First, it could launch attacks directly from space with a powerful Plasma Beam. The energy released instantly exceeded that of a small nuclear bomb, but it was more concentrated. It was also equipped with four electromagnetic cannons that could continuously fire hypersonic projectiles to suppress enemies. Second, it could leave low Earth orbit and be used as a carrier and armor component for the MK2. Third, it could hover in the low altitude and provide continuous fire support.
Silently getting such a powerful weapon into space took considerable effort from Tony Stark. The U.S. government wouldn't allow a private weapon to be above their heads. For this, he even hacked into the North American Aerospace Defense Command's system to block the radar reflection signals of the MK3 during its launch.
Now, the MK3 unleashed the immense power it was designed for.
A beam of light descended from the sky, instantly engulfing Norman Osborn's massive form. The scorching Plasma Beam mercilessly rained down upon him.
The ground vaporized in an instant, and the dazzling light nearly blinded everyone.
Jarvis's simulation calculated the damage range with extreme precision; the beam just barely engulfed Norman Osborn, without damaging the surrounding buildings.
"Aaaargh!"
A cry of pain echoed from within the beam. Norman Osborn burst out of it, his body severely charred. Even his dorsal fins were directly burned away by the Plasma Beam. The stench of blood was still trying to escape the wounds but was immediately vaporized by the beam.
Adult Godzilla could withstand a nuclear explosion at close range and swim in the magma deep within the earth's crust, but Norman Osborn, who had only fused with a portion of the genes, couldn't possess such powerful resistance.
Jarvis immediately controlled the MK2, which was located high in the sky, to adjust its position, and the beam immediately followed, once again engulfing Norman Osborn.
After more than ten seconds, the MK3 in space finally shut down its Plasma Beam due to overload. The melted concrete flowed like magma, and even areas briefly touched by the beam were scorched, leaving red-hot gouges.
Norman Osborn's massive body lay in the scalding magma. Even the tank's main cannon couldn't destroy the scales, which were now covered in burn marks. The biological tissues underneath, unlike those of ordinary creatures, were visible.
Tony Stark, after confirming through his sensors that the monster's energy signature had weakened to an extremely low level, cautiously descended.
"Incredible. It survived the Plasma Beam for so long without turning to ashes."
He quickly assessed the MK3's damage effectiveness.
"Collect battle data, Jarvis. The Green Goblin won't be as clumsy as this monster. It won't be easy to hit him with the Plasma Cannon."
In Tony Stark's plan, the MK3 wasn't suitable for attacking from space during the fight against the Green Goblin. Such attacks were too slow and unlikely to pose a threat. The MK3 was better suited to stealthily lurking within a range of a dozen kilometers, launching a sudden surprise attack with intense firepower while the MK2 was engaged in combat with the Green Goblin.
Then, after collecting a large amount of data from the scene, Tony Stark landed beside the monster, preparing to transport its corpse back to his Malibu lab.
Unable to obtain the Green Goblin's biological tissue to analyze the reasons for his immense power, Tony Stark decided to take another approach. He planned to analyze the monster's genetic information and body structure, hoping to gain insights that would help him further improve the MK series.
"Wait a moment, Stark, you have no right to take this corpse."
Black Widow, looking somewhat disheveled, climbed up from underground. Although the scorching magma had solidified, the surrounding temperature was still extremely high. The intense heat had singed her hair. Even so, she still stood up to stop Tony Stark.
This monster held too many secrets. Even the Hulk had been defeated instantly, and S.H.I.E.L.D. would absolutely not allow it to fall into private hands.
"Why? This is my trophy," Tony Stark said, and the MK2's fingers emitted a slender plasma beam, attempting to slice off a biological sample from Norman Osborn.
He knew how powerful S.H.I.E.L.D., which was under the International Security Council, was. Stark Industries was no match for them. He could only make the second best choice and take a sample.
Just then, Norman Osborn, who was being cut, suddenly opened his eyes and, before Tony Stark could react, grabbed him.
"Tony Stark, you think you've beaten me? I'm immortal!"
He said this as he tried to rip open the MK2's outer armor. To his surprise, the MK2 was far more durable than he anticipated. His sharp claws only managed to scratch the surface, leaving white marks.
Tony Stark was shocked. He struggled with all his might, the thrusters working at full power, but Norman Osborn had an overwhelming advantage in strength, and there was no way to break free.
"It seems you really did build an impressive weapon, but I wonder if you can handle this."
Norman Osborn's face twisted into a grimace. The fins on his back began to glow, and amidst the piercing, high-frequency charging sound, a massive amount of electrical energy started to gather in his throat.
"Beep! High-energy warning! High-energy warning!"
Jarvis immediately issued an alert.
"Motherfucker, I know, Jarvis!"
Tony Stark was about to wet himself. He didn't want half his body incinerated by the monster's breath.
Steve and the others frantically attacked Norman Osborn, trying to save Tony Stark. Unfortunately, the weapons they had were just tickling the monster; completely useless.
BOOM!
A blinding light erupted.
