Rite of Passage: The Amazing Spider-Man Reborn Page #4

So, you want to... I don't know...

- Want to what?

- I don't know, just...

I don't know, we could...

Or we could do something else, or we

could... If you don't... We could...

- Yeah.

- Yeah?

Yeah, either one.

- Really?

- Sure.

Alright, good, sounds good.

I can't right now, I'm

so busy right now.

Me too.

- But maybe...

- Yeah, just, you know...

- Some other...

- Time, alright.

OK. Alright.

We have protein structurer,

rDNA chromatography,

transgenics testing, that's x-ray video.

That's the only one on the planet.

- We have...

- I remember that.

- I've seen that before.

- The GANALI device.

I remember a picture of

that in my dad's office.

The idea was so simple, load

it with an antigen, make reactive cloud

which can be dispersed over a

neighbourhood, even an entire city.

Theoretically, you could cure a polio

in an afternoon.

It's incredible.

Well, others disagreed. What if the

device were loaded with a toxin,

what if you wanted to opt-out, you

can't run away from a cloud after all.

So here it lies, covered in dust.

What you see here is a

computer model of the lizard.

Many of these wonderful creatures

have so brilliantly adapted,

they can regenerate

entire limbs at will.

You can imagine my envy.

We're trying to harness this capability and

transfer it into our host subject, Freddie,

the three legged mouse.

Enter the algorithm now.

Do you need to take that?

System ready for gene incersion.

Check.

What are we trying to do?

- Free up the proteins.

- Create the immuno response.

Beginning trials, pending...

Failed, subject deceased.

Pending... Failed.

Subject deceased. Pending...

Input algorithm accepted.

Regrowth complete, vitals

normal, blood pressure normal.

Regeneration successful.

Extraordinary.

Thank you.

Meet Fred and Vilma,

our three legged mice.

Hey buddy, I got you.

OK, careful, don't want

to sting you by mistake.

Human trials aren't until next week.

There.

Hey, I thought you...

Didn't you forget something?

Don't answer that, but I'm

glad to know it's working.

You owe your aunt an apology, big time!

Be a man, get in there and apologize.

I'm sorry aunt May, I got...

- Honestly, you don't have to

apologize to me...

- Hell he doesn't.

- Ben...

- I'm sorry uncle Ben, I got distracted...

- You got distracted?

Your aunt, my wife, had to walk 12

blocks alone in the middle of the night,

and then wait in a deserted subway

station because you got distracted.

Ben, sweetheart, honestly, I am

completely capable of walking home...

- You will not defend this boy!

- I'm not defeneding...

- You are defending him! Listen to me son!

- Yeah, go ahead.

You're a lot like your father.
