Look on the bright side--You're getting a chapter tonight!

"Kevin Thompson was a man who was experimented on by his parents since his childhood in order to treat a neurodegenerative disease, but the treatment ended up giving him the new ability to control people's minds at his will." & "His power was revealed to be a side-effect of the viral treatment used to cure his childhood degenerative disease." - Like I said, it wasn't a serum but a treatment. The difference being that a serum could give anyone that power while a treatment can only work on certain people. So, unless the MC develops a neurodegenerative disease and uses the same treatments (which were apparently incredibly painful), he won't be able to develop Kilgrave's powerset.

Admittedly, I was reading it and thought "Why not give it a go?", yeah.

He said he was in the prime of his life - not when the prime of his life was gonna end. Which, if he didn't take a serum, would be when he's about 100-years-old lol.

...That falls outside of the most cases I was talking about lol. Besides, if someone sucks at surgery, I don't think they'd have passed med-school or their residency lol.

That's fair but I think just about anyone would rather be remembered as a great man rather than an evil one. Just look at all the tyrant dictators throughout Earth's history - they're usually remembered for their barbaric acts and nothing else. While great leaders and people are remembered for what good they did even if, along the line, they did bad things as well.

Honestly, I completely forgot about that. It'd no doubt be something he'll use in the future but the volatile nature and randomness of Gravitonium is a bit hard to work around and could take time for even Norman to figure out.

What? I know the book you're on about but I haven't read the entirety of it. If there are overlaps between my book and their's, it's purely coincidence. On that note, I just skimmed through the first five or so chapters and found no mention of the MC doing anything similar to what my MC does...so please stop implying I'm copy-pasting someone else's novel as my own.

Why would that imply that? There's no need to be a Mutant to fight Mutants lol, neither do you need to use Mutants to fight their own kind.

That's been done before and before and before, over and over again. Calling it 'beating a dead horse' isn't even accurate for Black Cat being a love interest - it's more like exhuming the horse's grave and trying to ride it. ...So no, I won't be making Black Cat the love interest for the novel.

I don't think Purple Man's powers came from a serum. Pretty sure it was a mutation caused by a certain medicine and I'm not gonna mess around with the spider bite because of the Totems and Avatar nonsense - and because Norman doesn't need it. But yeah, to pretty much everything else.

I mean, I know the story you're referencing but I abhor the implication that I'm somehow plagiarising someone else's work. This is a different story, despite it being a Norman Osborn protagonist.

Yeah, I should be. Got the night off and everything.

Yeah, that's why he's diverting funds away from the Oz Serum - he doesn't want anyone else to get their hands on it. After all, it'd mess with his plans if the US Military (or anyone, for that matter) had access to a serum that can make superhumans that can rival Spider-Man. Taking Stark employees is also a fantastic idea, so thanks for that! Making a security force with high-tech armor and weapons also seems like something right up the MC's alley as well...I'll keep it in consideration, so thanks for the suggestion as well :)

I mean, it depends. MCU Cap is all over the place with his physical strength - one moment he struggles to lift a metal girder that fell on Bucky (admittedly he was injured and exhausted) and then the other time we learn in Agents of Shield that he pushed a bulldozer across a field like it was nothing. Oh, and don't forget that he was momentarily overpowered by a normal, albeit athletic, human in Winter Soldier as well. All in all, if we take Cap's maximum overhead lift of 800lbs (courtesy of the marvel wiki that is kinda inaccurate but oh well), then yeah, the MC is stronger than him. But if we take Cap's feat of pushing that bulldozer like it was nothing, then no, Cap is stronger. It just depends, I guess, because consistency in the MCU is horrifically bad.

Oh, and I write the chapters every day. Sometimes I write two and keep one of them to release the next day as a sort of buffer in case I feel a little burned out or something. So, on average, you can expect a release every day or every two days. It depends entirely on my work schedule though. I work nights as a security guard and when I get the chance I write a little here and there but if I have to work more that obviously leads to a bigger chance of me not posting for a day and whatnot.

Character development won't be rushed. Like, for instance, Norman won't instantly win '1# Father Of The Year' or anything like that. But because the MC is now in control, he's definitely going to instantly start TRYING to be a better person. Though if I'm gonna be honest, the MC still has a few screws loose after meeting with an Eldritch God so his attempts at being better may not be the best lol.

Maybe space stuff but it's too early to tell. Especially when Earth needs help more than ever (i.e. with the imminent invasion of Loki and his army which is approximately three-ish years away). And yeah, biological enhancement - the reason being that I've never liked reading about characters who focus too much on tech because of it's most basic and biggest flaw aka Tony Stark with his Iron Man armor basically being useless without it.

To a certain extent, yeah. Like any ordinary human he can workout and improve his body through ordinary means up until a certain point (which would be a 4000kg deadlift, for example).
