The days following the launch of Google were unlike anything the modern world had ever witnessed. It was a cultural phenomenon that centered entirely around the man behind the curtain who had finally stepped into the light.
Before the New York Plaza event, Aryan Spencer was a name whispered in high finance circles and an authoritative signature on Umbrella's massive corporate filings. Now, he was the most searched term on his own platform.
The media, struggling to quantify the tidal wave of public adoration, dubbed it the "Aryan Effect." Because of the subtle influence of the Delta level Friendly Aura, his image inspired an instinctive trust. People saw a man who looked like he genuinely cared about their future. News anchors found themselves smiling while reporting on him, their usual cynical edge softened. Even the most ruthless tabloids struggled to find a single negative angle that would stick.
Public opinion surged to an unprecedented 98% approval rating. In every corner of the globe… from the neon lit streets of Tokyo to remote farming communities in South America… people were experiencing the "Umbrella miracle." The world had been given a gift and they knew who to thank.
Overnight, fan clubs and digital communities sprang up dedicated to Aryan. Unlike typical celebrity worship, these groups focused on his vision. They called themselves "The Searchers," inspired by his speech about a world without intellectual borders.
Because Aryan had framed Google as a gift to humanity rather than a product to be consumed, he was being hailed as the "Librarian of the Future." Parents wrote open letters, their words filled with tearful gratitude, thanking him for giving their children access to libraries they could never afford to visit. Teachers integrated Google into their classrooms on day one, calling it the "Great Equalizer."
While the public was falling in love with their new digital messiah, the world's elite were scrambling to catch up.
One detail that sent shockwaves through the financial world was the quiet realization that Umbrella Corporation remained a strictly private entity. Unlike Stark Industries, which had to answer to a board and thousands of public shareholders, Aryan held every single string of his rapidly expanding empire.
"If he went public today," one lead anchor on CNBC remarked, his voice trembling with a mixture of awe and raw terror, "the sheer influx of capital would likely crash every other exchange on the planet. Investors would liquidate their entire portfolios just to own a fraction of Umbrella. By staying private, Aryan may have inadvertently prevented a global economic collapse."
Because he didn't have to answer to Wall Street, Aryan was free to ignore short term profits in favor of his long term vision for humanity. This absolute independence made him the most powerful "unlisted" man in history. He had all the influence of a superpower with none of the bureaucratic red tape, allowing him to deploy Google's benefits across the globe at a speed that left governments and competitors gasping for air.
The stock for the companies Aryan had touched, especially Stark Industries, reached all time highs. His presence at the boardroom table was now seen as a golden guarantee of success.
Silicon Valley was in a state of existential panic. Engineers at rival firms stayed up for seventy two hours straight, fueled by caffeine and fear, trying to reverse engineer Google's efficiency. They found that Umbrella's architecture was decades ahead of anything they had ever imagined. It was a logic that felt almost organic.
Aryan's office at Umbrella HQ was flooded with thousands of gifts, letters and invitations from world leaders, celebrities and academics. Yet, despite the global adoration, he remained grounded, his public persona one of focused dedication. The Friendly Aura made him seem like the kind of person who would sit down and have a coffee with anyone, which only fueled the public's obsession.
He had become a rare icon: a man with the wealth of a king and the mind of a god, but who projected the heart of a neighbor.
While the world celebrated its new hero, Aryan sat in his private office, the city lights a glittering carpet below, looking at the data flowing through Red Queen's interface.
"The global sentiment analysis is complete," Red Queen reported, her holographic form flickering with a crimson light. "The Friendly Aura has achieved a ninety four percent saturation in the collective subconscious of our user base. Your standing in the global community is now effectively untouchable by conventional political or media means."
With the global success of Google acting as the ultimate launchpad, Aryan knew it was time to move from a single product to a total digital ecosystem. He officially structured Umbrella into specialized divisions, each designed to capture a different aspect of human life, effectively bringing the technological comforts and digital infrastructure of his original world to the Marvel universe.
Because Umbrella remained a private company, he could move with a speed that defied traditional corporate logic.
To prepare for the grand unveiling of his next phase, Aryan structured his empire into six high impact divisions. This organization ensured that Umbrella was an all encompassing digital civilization.
