{MCU, New york City}
I woke up to see the ceiling of an apartment building, I got up and looked around. The marble floor and the rich decoration made me guess that I was rich enough to live lavishly.
[Installing memory transfer.]
As a sudden pain assaulted my head, I immediately knew of my financial situation. I was a wall street investor in a small company. A month ago I reached the pinnacle of life with an investment that made me a millionaire. With my connection I turned the million dollar worth assets to liquid money and brought a lot of real estate. With the low home prices at that time I quickly hit the rich as I was getting more than a couple thousand every month. This combined with my frugal lifestyle stacked up quite an amount in the bank.
I got up from the bed and did my daily routine before turning the TV on, the tv was reporting a breaking news. It seems that the CEO of Stark industries is kidnapped while on a trip to afghanistan to show off the new weapons developed by Stark industries. This news caused the stock prices of stark industries to go down really quickly, I quickly went on a call with Joe.
"Hey Joe, remember you said if I wanted to buy any other stocks I should call you." I said
"Ah, yes Adrian. I remember. What stock do you want to buy?" He asked with visible excitement. This was given as with my intuition I was able to make millions of dollars within the first few months in New york something that people dreamed about.
"Buy as many stark industries as you can. Also buy out the construction company that has a close connection to the government." I said while simultaneously sending him the money from my bank account. He did it without asking a question thanks to my reputation as an investment genius. I then got off call with him and said "Endless, are you there?"
[Yes, sir]

I sat down to think about my next move, I quickly crossed out using them in public as a superhero although I was a good person. I was not good enough to even think of saving someone else and putting my life in danger. I need to gain power which means I need energy to absorb, I will also try and take the spider that bit spider man. Nothing good will come out of it for spiderman anyways.
In fact, there was a marvel universe where Peter did not get bit. He lived happily in that universe as most of the villains that spiderman had did not come to be. Unfortunately, it was still the marvel author who wrote spiderman so in the end he was still fucked by life. Well, this is mcu and I don't have the don't kill rule, well not any more since I am a god I will need to kill and it is better to do it in a controlled environment like this then in the middle of the actual battle.
I need to think when tom holland actually became the spider man, he was introduced in the Captain america: Civil war while he said to have gained the powers 6 months back. Captain america: Civil war was the start of Phase 3 of MCU and I am in the starting of Phase 1 of MCU. I sat down with a cup of coffee and a notebook to write all of my knowledge of phase 1 of marvel down. Phase 1 of the MCU introduces the origins of the core Avengers, their individual journeys, and their eventual unification to protect Earth.
It begins with Tony Stark in Iron Man, where the genius billionaire is kidnapped by terrorists and creates a powerful armored suit to escape captivity. Upon returning, Stark refines his invention, becoming Iron Man and vowing to use his technology for good, while clashing with Obadiah Stane, who betrays him. In The Incredible Hulk, Bruce Banner's experiment with gamma radiation transforms him into the Hulk, a rage-fueled green giant. Banner spends the movie evading the U.S. military and General Ross, who sees him as a weapon, culminating in a battle against the monstrous Abomination.
Iron Man 2 delves deeper into Tony Stark's struggles as he faces both his mortality and a vengeful enemy, Ivan Vanko, while forming a stronger alliance with Nick Fury and S.H.I.E.L.D. Meanwhile, Thor introduces the Norse God of Thunder, who is banished to Earth by his father, Odin, as punishment for his arrogance. Thor learns humility, regains his powers, and defends Earth against his jealous brother Loki, who seeks to claim the throne of Asgard. In Captain America: The First Avenger, scrawny but courageous Steve Rogers is transformed into the super-soldier Captain America during World War II. Leading a team of soldiers against HYDRA and their leader, Red Skull, who wields the Tesseract, Steve sacrifices himself to save the world, ending up frozen in ice for decades.
These are all the superheroes introduced and of course there is the avengers film, right now there are not many opportunities to get stronger. With this information, I suddenly thought of something. I may as well help S.H.I.E.L.D with knowledge that hydra is still out there and even in their own ranks. This will also help me because I will be using my powers to steal the tesseract while acting as if I was a hydra agent. To do this however I need energy. I am not confident even with my space power to go there and destroy a bunch of agents with a normal body of mine.
I will also get exposed as an anti hero if I were to do that, with this thought I went to the local power plants. In fact, I teleported there since I did not want to be tracked. I made a hydra suit with a makeshift hydra symbol on my back. I took a deep breath and said "Teleport" the view shifted in front of me from my room to…the ocean? I fell immediately as I started to yell out.
[You imbecile, just use teleport again]
"Teleport, teleport, teleport" I said in repetition as I shifted from one sort to another until I landed on top of the empire state building. If it were not for the height the view here was amazing, it was already night so the new york night lights were one. It looked like a star system, while I was mesmerized by the light endlessly calling out.
[Enough looking at the night light, start working on controlling your powers]
After that reminder from the system, I focused on where I want to go and cleared my mind of any other thoughts. "Teleport" I said, this time when I opened my eyes there was a power plant hidden in the darkness of the night. I easily crossed the wire fence and upon realizing that it was electric, I absorbed all the energy. I felt warm current in my muscles as all the energy get stored into my stomach.
I used the energy to enhance my body more, slowly pushing the limit past what humans are capable of. By the time the power is used up, I have gotten enough strength to bend steel. I then went and used the entire power plant to basically get a super soldier serum in my body. After absorbing, I still had more energy to spare so I left the jacket and flew up by shooting energy through my feet and coating myself with energy before I adapted to high speed travel.
