General Ross's purpose in seeking out Samuel Sterns was definitely because he coveted the drug he developed to suppress the Hulk and Bruce Banner's serum sample.
The former could control the 'Hulk', while the latter could create the 'Hulk'. Both were what General Ross desired most, or rather, was determined to obtain.
And while he was at it, he could also try to apprehend Bruce Banner!
Samuel wasn't very interested in scientists like Samuel Sterns who were only half-submissive, but it would be different once he became the Abomination.
Half-submissive would become truly submissive!
According to the setting, besides turning him into a big-headed son, the mutation caused by the Hulk serum increased his intelligence by 1000 times, making him fond of reading and possessing an insatiable thirst for knowledge.
At the same time, he gained Mind Control and Mind Control, as well as a super strong will.
In the comics, after turning over a new leaf, he also gained the ability to release Gamma radiation at will and joined the Thunderbolts team formed by General Ross as Red Leader, becoming the team's strategist.
From a scientific research perspective, theoretically, he could surpass normal human thinking ability to acquire knowledge and understanding, capable of mastering every professional subject in the World and fully accepting the more concepts derived from them.
As long as he accepted the relevant knowledge, he could build anything!
From a strategist's perspective, his ability to intuitively judge whether something was correct was completely an unreasonable and illogical cheat!
For example, if someone came out and said they wanted to destroy the World, he wouldn't need to know who the other party was or what abilities they had; he could directly use his intuition to determine whether this person could succeed!
Of course, this ability was not without a solution.
First, his own strength, the opponent's strength, and the strength of people who might be involved would all affect his intuitive judgment to varying degrees.
Secondly, the result of intuitive judgment was not constant; the result after judgment would change due to changes, as unexpected events always happen.
So, to ensure success, every step had to be re-judged, which was very mentally taxing.
Simply put, he was a perfect tool who was both sweet and savory, with huge potential but needed to grow!
Also, Samuel felt that he would be a key figure in the Hulk series in the movie Universe!
After the plot of the Hulk and Abomination battle in the movie ended, he had no more scenes. What was his fate? Where did he go after becoming the Abomination, and what did he do? There was no indication whatsoever!
With his research on the Hulk serum, plus his extraordinary intelligence, it was impossible for there to be no movement at all, right?
When Abomination later fought fixed matches with Old Wang in Xia Ling's fighting arena, his appearance had undergone tremendous changes, and his personality was no longer as violent and cruel as before!
Also, it is said that in the She-Hulk series, Abomination seems to have even turned back into a human.
Could his changes be related to the Abomination?
After all, after Abomination was defeated by the Hulk, he was recovered by General Ross, and would General Ross let go of the Abomination who developed the Hulk serum and created Abomination?
The answer, you don't even need to think about it!
Hulk and She-Hulk might not have much to do with the Abomination, but Abomination and 'Red Hulk' General Ross and her daughter 'Red She-Hulk' are not necessarily unrelated.
Stephanie Malick, seeing Samuel's eyes recover their liveliness after being lost in thought, asked softly out of curiosity.
"You, you think highly of Hale?"
Although she didn't know who Samuel Sterns was, the fact that General Ross sought out Samuel was enough to prove that this person was very important to General Ross.
Samuel specifically had Hale ask General Ross for benefits, which was telling General Ross that Hale was his person!
This also meant that he was transferring some favors and connections to Hale, which was a treatment only direct descendants received, because for people like them, favors and connections were the most valuable assets!
Samuel stretched his waist and sat up, and Stephanie Malick followed suit, helping him put on his bathrobe.
"Hale's ability is not bad. If she were a man, she would have been one of HYDRA's leaders on par with your Father by now, and the one I truly think highly of is her daughter."
Stephanie Malick had some impression: "Her daughter? Her daughter seems to be the product of the gene warrior project that Baron Strucker and Whitehall worked on back then."
"I heard that this project has been abandoned, and that child didn't achieve the expected results. She is only slightly stronger than ordinary people, far worse than a Super Soldier."
"Strength is temporary, handsomeness is for a lifetime!"
Samuel recalled the gene warrior Ruby from his memory. In terms of strength, she couldn't compare to Skye; in terms of height, she couldn't compare to Mockingbird Barbara: but in terms of appearance, that was another story!
True Barbie doll!
Sweet appearance, beautiful temperament, although her figure was a little small, the places that should be big were big, and the places that should grow were long.
If viewed from the perspective of appearance and charm, this gene project was definitely a great success!
"So you're interested in Hale's daughter? Just because of her appearance?"
Stephanie Malick was a little confused. Appearance was just external; what use was it without strength? Was it worth supporting Hale so much for a pretty little girl?
Samuel smiled and shook his head: "You don't understand. When I choose people, I never look at whether she has strength, because none of them are as strong as I am!"
...
Stephanie Malick was speechless. These words were a bit arrogant, but she had to admit that, for now, it seemed there were really few people who were stronger than him.
I just don't know about the Hydra God? Should... shouldn't be weaker than Samuel, right?
For some reason, she, who had always been extremely devout to the Hydra God, suddenly felt a trace of insecurity.
"I'm hungry, go get something to eat."
"I'll go right now."
Stephanie Malick personally cooked a table of rich but average-tasting breakfast.
"I thought a lady of your status would learn some cooking skills, like Western pastries and such." Samuel took a few bites and smiled, teasing Stephanie Malick.
Stephanie Malick explained shyly: "Not long after I graduated, I started taking over the family business. I didn't learn much about skills that weren't beneficial to the business."
"However, I can learn!"
Stephanie Malick looked at Samuel with a slight blush and some warmth in her eyes.
Samuel smiled noncommittally. It didn't matter whether she learned skills or not, but she really should learn the art of tea ceremony.
What era is this?
Surely no one would believe that playing a friendly match on a new field could instantly change the other party's perspective, make them fall in love with you, and be head over heels, unable to control themselves, right?
Who is Stephanie Malick? She is the Daughter of HYDRA, the most devout follower of the Hydra God. Her current actions and words are all purposeful, which is to appease herself!
Other things might slowly develop after spending more time together, but now, with less than a day of interaction, hoping that she could abandon the personality and thinking she had developed over so many years since childhood, is that possible?
