Thunderbolt

"General Ross! I wasn't expecting to see you today."

Currently in the main testing chamber where all of our new ideas are discovered, created, and tested stood General Thaddeus 'Thunderbolt' Ross, one of the Hulks longest standing opponents and the current title holder of 'World's Largest Stick In Ass.'

I personally didn't care for him, but business is business and if I did tell him where he can yank that rod out that would mess with my deal with the government.

He was a rather imposing man with broad shoulders and an air of a soldier who had been through numerous combat missions and had seen stuff that make normal men quiver in fear. But like I said, he had probably the Largest stick up his ass, probably even bigger than Fury. His greying hair and wrinkling face did not take away from the impression.

"What can I do for you?" I ask him as he barges through some of my scientists and gets right up in my face.

"What do you know about Bruce Banner?" The Army General growls at me. It was obvious that he was pissed off, and the topic that got him this way wasn't too hard to guess.

"Other than the fact that his work on Gamma Radiation is unparalleled and that he suddenly vanished off the face of the planet a few years back, nothing."

And that was a lie. Even without all my future knowledge, I kept an eye on nearly all future Avengers coming up. Stark, Banner…

Now that I think about it, the rest are just too hard to really track considering one's a god, two are spies, and one is a popsicle.

Anyway, back on topic, I had kept up with Banner ever since he had that accident about five or so years ago, I would have tried to find him sooner, but with everything happening, I hadn't been able to reach out to him. Banner actually settled in Brazil recently and is working in a bottling factory.

Funny how opportunities present themselves like this.

Calming down, if only slightly, the General starts to walk me away from some of my scientists and starts whispering to me about Banner's other half.

"The U.S. Government was trying to create a way to make people resistant to radiation and Banner was the lead scientist. We had gotten so far, but it just wasn't ready yet. So Banner tested it out on himself and blasted himself with Gamma Radiation, claiming it was ready. But by doing so he became a giant green Rage monster capable of tossing aside tanks like they were tin cans and taking armor piercing bullets like they were pebbles thrown by a toddler!"

"So you want me to give you something that can take out Banner, am I right?" I guess as I walk over to one of my projects. Not one of my Hulk Projects, I used to work on them in my lab behind the mirror in my room, but since acquiring the Evolutionary's base a few weeks back, all my projects, including the Hulk projects, are there.

"Yes. Ever since Stark quit making weapons, we don't have anything capable of stopping him. Hammer Tech is crap and everyone else in the weapons industry can't hold a candle to your armor and tech."

Wow. Buttering me up much?

"I know your Father was working on a Super Soldier Serum himself, but never finished it before his death… Have you been able to make any progress on it?"

Sighing in frustration at the idiot in front of me (I had made it clear when I started making my armors that the Oz Formula was no longer being developed.) I reply.

"General, I have repeatedly told you and several of your colleagues in the various branches in the military that the serum is just too unstable. While it does increase the body's physical capabilities to Superhuman levels, it causes the user severe mental instability and makes them incredibly violent. All of our lab rats tested ended up killing each other in all-out war until only one remained." I tried explaining to the revenge driven General. "It is because of that I completely threw the idea out and came up with the armor. Not only was the armor made to keep the soldiers comfortable, but more importantly, it was designed to keep them alive. Unfortunately I have my doubts if they can withstand a hit from Banner when he has a little too much steam under the collar." Ross was obviously angry at my unwillingness to continue with the serum and I personally didn't care. The Oz Formula may not have been the most powerful serum to be created and it is definitely not as dangerous as an Iron Man suit, but it is still a lot of power to give anyone, especially someone who is trained in war. Dr. Erskine was smart when he chose Rodgers, but not everyone is as inherently good as Captain America is.

Not that I am inherently good, I did give Punisher a suit of nigh indestructible armor after all.

"Unfortunately my father and Dr. Stromm were the two people most involved with the serum itself and since their deaths, no one had quite the grasp on the serum's workings to perfect it. It was much more cost effective to simply scrap the whole thing and work on better projects." I tell him as I lean up against the wall.

"Fine." He growls. " DO you have anything to stop Banner then?"

"I have a trick or two, but I highly doubt they will do anything besides tickle him. Once I am done showing you however, I will need a file on Banner so I can better develop weaponry against him."

"Consider it done." He says. So blinded in anger at the Hulk, he doesn't even pause at the request of giving a civilian (A government contractor yes, but still unauthorized) classified information. "Now what tricks do you have?"

"Follow me." I tell him as I walk down the hall from where we were and into what looked like a lab, but with a firing range at one side.

"This," I say as I pick up what looked like a pistol from a table on the side of the room. "Is what I call an Incapacitating Cartridge Emitting Railgun, or I.C.E.R. for short. This and its little brother the Night-Night gun are the first in line for my non-lethal weapons for the NYPD. That said, it should work against Banner."

Yes I totally stole the idea from Agents of Shield, it was a good idea.

"Non-Lethal?" he says in disgust. "I'm not sure if you understood me right, but the only way to stop him is to kill him!"

"Hey Sam!" I yell at one of the scientists working in the room. "Bring in Suzy!"

Suzy is the lab rat I mentioned earlier with the violent tendencies. The goblin formula in her system has made her have an unbelievable tolerance to drugs and alcohol, it takes two tranq darts with enough tranquilizer to kill an Elephant to stun her.

Hence why I am bringing her.

"General, This is Suzy." I say as I hold the little demon before setting her in her cage before she tries to claw the flesh from my bones. "She is the lone surviving Serum Lab Rat. It takes two tranq darts capable of killing an elephant to slow her down. An I.C.E.R. stops her cold." To prove my point, I shoot her and knock her out, handing her cage to the slightly scratched scientist. "The I.C.E.R. is a Dendrotoxin-based stun weapon that when struck by the bullet, causes the victim to essentially get knocked out. Unfortunately, I don't know how durable Banner is, so this may not work. Over here you have…" And off we went, me showing General Ross various weapons and devices that sound like they could hurt Hulk, but really would fail or just not work to the extent that I am making it seem like. Now, Lying to a General is bad, but Bruce becomes an Avenger, a protector of Earth, and later space. He needs to stay free until that happens at least.

"And finally we have my newest Armor designs. Unfortunately it is not completed as of yet, but we are working on it."

Set on a pedestal in another room was what looked like a heavier version of the current armor. It has thicker chest, larger shoulder pads, and a little more encompassing than the Achilles Armor.

"It is designed to take harder hits while still being light enough to wear in an everyday setting. Other than that though, it is almost identical to previous armors technology wise. It has night vision, gas mask, etc., thus making it easier to get used to. I'm not sure if it can take a hit from Banner, but if anything can, it will be this thing. I call it Atlas."

After showing off my tech and getting a promise from him to get me the Banner files, He and I quickly go our separate ways, him to hunt Banner, and me to my new base.

The new Atlas suit is in fact a modified version of my new (And as yet incomplete) heavy armor for The Goblin. While the official Oscorp version looks more like Master Chief's armor with the Soldier helmet from Halo 4, the Goblin's suit is slightly different. The entire thing is a dark forest green with a more aerodynamic design, the chest, shoulders, and back are all more heavily padded than anything else giving me a slightly more bulked up look. Clips on the belt are designed to hold four pumpkin bombs a few gadgets, and razorbats, more can be stored in the glider's storage compartment. Like the Achilles version, the Atlas Armor has claws that can be retracted on the gloves to use in fights in a similar way to Black Panther and can produce an electric current on the palm of each hand. That can be used in battle or as defibrillators.

The Mask is another slight difference in the suit, it looks the same as it did previously, (The Defoe Mask from the Raimi trilogy but more metallic) but it is integrated into the suit instead of being a separate component entirely that I would just clip on. This version is actually fused with the suit.

To put the thing on, the suits back would open up similar to how various Iron Man armors do or Savitar's did in the CW Flash. Another difference is what I wear under it, instead of workout clothes essentially, I was able to convince Reed Richards to let me have some of his unstable molecules. I promised him I wouldn't sell it, but as a scientist I wanted to experiment on it. Hopefully that would explain my reasons for wanting it.

In reality though, I just wanted it because the stuff can be altered easily and adapt to a certain environment, allowing them to be incredibly resistant to drastic changes in heat, cold, pressure, density, dirt, etc. making it almost perfect as a sort of under armor or secondary defence.

(If you want a better appearance of the suit, go to my Google + account, I have pictures.)

Unfortunately however, things like this take time, hence why the right arm and left leg is lying on the table and the mask of the suit is only halfway finished. Not to mention the fact that I have various gadgets that needs to be finished in time for the Chitauri's arrival and later Ultron and Thanos.

I just hope I will be ready.
