As the water lapped the weather worn and barnical ridden poles of the 27th pier as a man in a green leather jacket pulled open the metal door, entered and then slammed it shut! The warehouse was supposed to be abandoned but now was utilized for another purpose. Inside the newly refurbished building was a highly concealed lab as computer terminals flashed data across their screen. The building had been rigged with magnetic seals, as well as sensors to protect it from intruders. Especially the web slinging ones...
As the man walked in he tossed a bag of stolen cash on the chair in the corner and pulled open the hood covering his back. Four metal tentacles emerged and arched up over him in their writhing snake like fashions. He hated to have to conceal them while coming home. But he didn't need any vagrants or would be heroes interrupting his work. Giving a sigh doctor Otto Octavious walked over to the nearest terminal as one arm reached over switching it on. His current and lifelong experiment was creating the worlds strongest cold fusion reaction in a battery. If he can do so it would mean limitless power. It may revolutionize mankind, not that he intended to ever give to anyone but himself of course. The battery would mean a lifetime of power for his own work and his actuators. No more having to rely on a failing New York power grid to supply him with what he needs.
His experiment would help solve the worlds energy crisis...but they will never know...Their penance for what they have done to him will be paid when their coal and oil runs out and man is plunged back into darkness.
