Since he was very young, Peter had fantasized about becoming a Superhero.
At that time, the first Superhero he liked was Iron Man.
Because he was the first vivid Superhero to appear in Peter's life; as for the national Superhero Captain America?
After all, he was a figure from history textbooks.
Though he's alive again now!
So,
if he ever got the chance to become a Superhero, Peter would absolutely be thrilled.
"So I shouldn't turn into a giant monster, right?"
Peter muttered to himself.
Although he couldn't be 100% certain, Peter's worries had indeed lessened a lot because of it.
"Maybe I can also get myself a costume and go help those who need help!"
Peter felt that since he possessed such abilities, he couldn't just do nothing like before.
Before, he had no ability.
But now that Heaven had bestowed upon him the ability to become a Superhero, he felt that he had to do something, so that he could live up to his newfound powers.
Just as Peter couldn't help but start envisioning himself after becoming a Superhero, a sudden 'clink' sound came from outside the warehouse.
"Who?"
"Who's there!"
Peter sharply looked in the direction of the sound.
In the darkness, he saw a tall figure emerge from the Shadow.
Luke Cage annoyedly clapped the rust off his hands.
He had been hiding there, peeking.
As a result, he accidentally touched some rusty sheet metal, and the fragile metal directly broke into several pieces with a 'clink', making a very slight sound, but it couldn't escape Peter's now extremely sensitive ears.
"Who are you?"
Peter looked at the Black man who walked out, his face full of vigilance.
Perhaps because he knew he had changed, Peter wasn't too scared inside at the moment; instead, he felt a little excited.
Am I going to encounter a criminal so soon?
Peter thought excitedly.
"Don't get excited, I'm not a bad guy!"
Luke Cage raised his hands, indicating he had no ill intentions.
And seeing his action, Peter couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
So it's not a criminal.
"I live nearby, so I happened to see some things."
Luke Cage said.
"You saw everything?!"
Peter said in surprise.
At the same time, he couldn't help but blame himself for being so careless.
He hadn't even started fighting crime yet, and he had already exposed his identity!
This was too bad!
Luke Cage obviously saw Peter's inner thoughts.
"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone else."
He said.
However, Peter wasn't really a naive White.
He was young and ignorant, but he hadn't reached the point where he would believe anything a stranger said.
Seeing that Peter clearly didn't believe him, Luke Cage turned and walked to the side, then gently used both hands to lift the wreckage of a car.
"How about it? Do you believe me now?"
Luke Cage said, putting down the car wreckage.
He looked very relaxed throughout the entire process, not strained at all.
In fact, Luke Cage's strength was indeed immense.
He could easily lift forty to fifty tons of heavy objects.
What was a mere car wreckage?
He could easily lift things much heavier than that for you.
And Peter, seeing Luke Cage easily lift the car wreckage, couldn't help but exclaim at this moment.
"Oh my God! You're so strong!!"
He walked over in surprise, carefully looking at Luke Cage's arm.
Well, that arm was indeed much thicker than his.
Even his current enhanced physique couldn't compare to Luke Cage's strength.
Moreover;
In terms of height, Luke Cage was 198CM, while Peter was at most 170CM at the moment.
Completely incomparable!
However, Peter believed he still had room for growth.
He was only 15 years old!
He was still a child, and he would definitely grow taller in the future.
Not to mention as tall as the Luke Cage in front of him.
But at least 188CM, right?
In fact, 185CM would also be fine; Peter said he wouldn't mind!
"You're also very strong; I just saw it."
Luke Cage said with a smile.
The kid opposite him was still just a child, and facing a child, even someone like Luke Cage would become polite and courteous.
To be honest;
Luke really hadn't expected this seemingly enhanced individual to still be a half-grown child!
So, which organization was so insane as to use children for experiments?
Peter was still excitedly chasing Luke Cage, asking all sorts of questions.
At the same time, he looked enviously at Luke Cage's height.
"Listen to me, kid!"
Luke was getting a bit fed up with Peter's chatter.
So he interrupted Peter's rambling and said with a serious and earnest expression: "The changes in your body only appeared recently, right? Can you tell me who did this to you?"
"In fact, they just appeared today."
Peter was honest, with no intention of hiding anything.
If Luke Cage was just an ordinary stranger, Peter naturally wouldn't tell him these things.
But Luke Cage was someone who, like him, possessed extraordinary abilities.
They also knew each other's secrets.
This made Peter, who had suddenly gained extraordinary abilities and was still very unaccustomed to them, feel that he had found a like-minded companion.
For a companion, Peter naturally wouldn't hide anything.
So he told Luke Cage everything, including how he slept for 12 hours today, how he discovered the changes in his body after waking up, and his guess that he was bitten by a spider.
"Osborn Group?"
Luke Cage frowned.
He had, of course, heard of the Osborn Group; in fact, very few people living in the United States didn't know about this company.
Its popularity was second only to Stark Industries!
And Peter's experience was also something Luke Cage hadn't expected.
He had thought someone was using Peter for experiments.
But he didn't expect Peter to have accidentally gained superpowers!
However;
It was confirmed that the Osborn Group was researching things in this area.
Otherwise, why would Peter suddenly become a super-powered human just because a spider bit him?
That obviously couldn't have been an ordinary spider!
It had to be said, Luke Cage felt that Peter's luck was simply too good.
Generally, for experiments like this, the mortality rate must be very high.
Yet Peter was lucky enough to survive.
And he even gained superpowers.
This was no longer just ordinary good luck.
It was as if he had been favored by the goddess of fortune!
