Inside the car sat four robbers, crying out in pain, their faces covered in blood.
Glancing at them, Russell didn't hesitate. White tendrils surged from his right hand, forcibly pulling them out of the car.
Because his actions were a bit rough, the already injured robbers were hurt even worse.
However, he didn't pay any attention to this issue.
After pulling the four robbers out of the car, he controlled the symbiote to possess them and slightly healed their injuries.
If he were a Traveler right now, he would definitely give each of them a bullet and send all four of them off directly.
But now, playing the role of a superhero, he couldn't do that.
Not only could he not send these four guys to hell, he couldn't even injure them too much.
The news helicopter's camera was now firmly aimed at him, live-streaming his actions.
For the sake of so-called political correctness and human rights, even though these four guys were robbers, he had to ensure their safety.
At least before handing them over to the police, he had to ensure these four guys were alive.
These four robbers never expected that after Russell forcibly stopped them, he would actually start treating them.
The symbiote's possession caused their injuries to heal rapidly.
Russell did not completely heal their injuries.
When the injuries of the four robbers became minor, he used white tendrils resembling spider silk to bind them.
Not long after, the police behind them surrounded them and took the four unlucky guys away.
When the police handcuffed the four robbers, Russell removed the white tendrils from their bodies.
Although the white tendrils he was using now looked very similar to the webs Gwen used, they were completely different.
The webs Gwen used would decompose on their own, so recycling them didn't matter.
However, the white tendrils he used would not just disappear for no reason.
He didn't want any of his symbiotes to fall into the hands of certain government agencies.
For example, S.H.I.E.L.D.
The robbers were taken away, and the police chief leading the team quickly came up to Russell to express his gratitude.
Although the chief didn't know who Russell was, one thing he was certain of was that Russell was not a bad person.
This was the fifth day of Russell's superhero whitewashing plan.
In the past five days, he had helped the police apprehend criminals quite a bit.
Not to mention anything else, just today alone, he had performed three heroic acts.
Saving people trapped in a fire, preventing a car accident, and now assisting the police in apprehending bank robbers.
After the chief thanked him, he began directing his subordinates to collect evidence at the scene.
According to convention, Russell should now leave the scene and let the police handle it.
But he didn't do that.
The reason was simple: he was currently being interviewed.
Do good deeds, and leave no name!
In China, this is a traditional virtue.
But in America, doing good deeds and leaving no name is not a virtue.
Especially for Russell, who was playing the role of a superhero, he had to leave his name when doing good deeds.
Of course, leaving his name didn't mean revealing his real identity, but rather leaving his hero alias.
In the past five days, although his heroic deeds had been reported by some news media, the citizens of New York still didn't know what to call this new hero.
Although Russell had never been a superhero before, he was not unfamiliar with how to be one.
He wasn't currently referencing the Fantastic Four and Gwen, but rather a hero team from another universe: The Seven!
Compared to the superheroes in the Marvel and DC universes, The Seven were the best embodiment of the economic value of superheroes.
"Hello, sir, I'm Christina, a reporter from the Daily Bugle. I'd like to ask, what prompted you to stand up for justice and help the weak? What do you think of superheroes like the Fantastic Four and Spider-Woman? And what should people call you?"
It must be said, American reporters are efficient.
The police's backup support hadn't even arrived at the scene yet, but reporters like Christina had already gotten there.
Besides Christina, Russell also saw other reporters running towards him quickly, afraid of missing the interview opportunity.
"Hello, Miss Christina."
"Why I stand up for justice and help the weak is actually very simple: because people need help, and I happen to have the ability to help people."
"Someone once said, with great power comes great responsibility! As a member of New York, New York is our home. When crimes and disasters occur in New York, I believe we have an obligation to protect this city, especially when we possess the ability."
"As for what I think of the Fantastic Four and Spider-Woman, I think they are role models that I need to learn from. I sincerely respect and support them, and hope that one day I can be as outstanding as they are."
"Regarding what to call me, if everyone likes, you can call me Venom. Like the kind of serum specifically used to treat diseases and poisoning."
After answering Christina's questions, Russell apologized to the reporters who were rushing up.
Then, under people's gaze, he shot white tendrils at a nearby building and, like Spider-Woman Gwen, swung away with the tendrils, quickly disappearing from people's sight.
More than half an hour later, he returned to the laboratory, having already deactivated his "Agent Venom" form.
After returning to his office, he first took a bottle of Scotch whisky from the wine cabinet and poured himself a glass.
Then, he turned on the TV and watched the news.
As he expected, after he appeared, caught the robbers, and was interviewed by Christina, the main focus of the news immediately shifted from the robbers to him.
Although he only answered Christina's questions, the other reporters also heard his answers when he was speaking.
Now, several news channels that were live-streaming were displaying similar headlines.
"New Hero Born! Venom!"
"New York Welcomes New Superhero Venom!"
He sipped his whisky while watching the hosts and guests express various opinions.
The most discussed topic, of course, was his true identity.
Regarding this question, there were all sorts of guesses.
Some said he was an agent from a secret government department, some said he was a retired veteran from the military, and some even said he was a police officer who had awakened superpowers.
The main basis for these guesses was the white combat suit he wore.
Although his combat suit was transformed from the symbiote, its style was very similar to the combat suits used by government departments.
Besides guessing that he was from a government agency, there was another guess that was gaining a lot of support.
Spider-Woman's boyfriend!
His combat suit and Spider-Woman's costume were both primarily black and white, and the way he left the scene was very similar to Spider-Woman.
Although his "webs" looked a bit different, in terms of form, his white tendrils were identical to the webs Gwen used.
Thus, the guess that he was Spider-Woman's boyfriend logically emerged.
PS: Two things to mention, first, the launch date has been confirmed, it will be next Wednesday the 1st, second, the apprentice has *yet again* fallen at the doorstep of Sanjiang...
The follow-up reads were still a bit short, didn't cross the threshold of Sanjiang...
Although only a small portion of people can get into Sanjiang, falling at the doorstep of Sanjiang again is still a bit disheartening...
