Infinite Possession of Beauty

[From the legend of Dragonfly Ned Liz...]

[From the legend of Spider-Man Peter Parker...]

In the antique shop, Li Ran looked at the legend displayed on the system data panel with a clear expression on his face.

Although the battle between Red Hood Parker Robbins and the two young superheroes was a bit anticlimactic, it also helped him gain a lot of fame.

Although, with the current performance of Parker Robbins, at best, the fame brought by the appearance of the third-rate super villain is not too much.

However, for Li Ran, who had consumed a lot of legends in the previous opening of the box, there was no picky stand.

What's more, although Parker Robbins is humble today, it does not mean that it will be the same in the future.

...

"Are you ready, Tony?"

Washington, the scene of the hearing of the'Superhero Registration Act'.

As the representative of the military superhero,'War Machine' James dignified and greeted Tony who had been invited.

Since it is about the superhero bill, it is natural that superhero groups such as the Avengers cannot be bypassed. Therefore, after some thoughtful thinking, the US government decided to invite the most well-known in the Avengers and also has a certain degree of connection with the US military. Tony Stark from here to participate in the hearing of the bill.

In this way, to set off the US government's open position in the Superhero Registration Act.

"You should be clear, James, the so-called hearing is just a gimmick. I never believe that Congress will change its decision because of the results of the hearing."

Pouting his lips, Tony understands the American Congress, which is a group of extremely arrogant beings.

"..."

In the face of Tony's merciless demolition, James can only respond with a helpless smile.

It can be said that the most embarrassing position in the entire "Superhero Registration Act" is James, who is a "war machine".

"Tony, the hearing is about to begin."

Just when the two were silent, Natasha, who accompanied Tony to the bill hearing, appeared in a timely manner, breaking the low atmosphere.

"Mr. Tony Stark, the superhuman beings that exist in the United States, or most of the superheroes in some populations, appeared after World War II. The most representative figure should be Captain America, a member of the Avengers. These individuals hide their identities through disguise, and frequently participate in violent conflicts that cause massive losses of lives and property..."

At the hearing, as a member of the bill, a member of the American Congress used an aggressive attitude to explain his views on the so-called superheroes.

"According to our most accurate estimates, since World War II to the present, more than 300 billion U.S. dollars of losses have been caused in this type of war. For this reason, the federal government and local agencies have been forced to pay for these expenses because we don’t know who has come forward. To be able to pay for this loss, let me repeat the amount, Mr. Tony Stark, 300 billion dollars, and this is not because this is the innocent people who have lost their lives in violent conflict... Don't you have no such thing as this? What do you want to say, superhero, Iron Man, Mr. Tony Stark!"

The position of congressmen is aggressive, but Tony is obviously not without any preparation.

Looking at the expressionless members of Congress before him, Tony calmly shot back: "If you only use numbers to calculate all gains and losses, then please tell me that the Avengers have prevented aliens from treating the United States and even the United States. The invasion of the world prevented the resurrected Statue of Liberty from sweeping the White House. Not long ago, Canada successfully wiped out a huge monster that almost destroyed the world. How can these be calculated, sir?"

"In that battle in Canada, the United States consumed an aircraft carrier battle group with a total cost of more than 50 billion U.S. dollars, not to mention the American soldiers who were forced to retire due to frostbite and the Canadian cities damaged in the battle. , These losses were only caused by a battle, but 300 billion US dollars is the accumulation of all superheroes in the 60 years since World War II. You only see the losses but forget the peace brought about by the battle. Hundreds of billions of dollars have protected the world’s peace for 60 years. I think it’s a bargain, Mr. Congressman."

Refuting the congressman’s view of the losses caused by the superhero groups, Tony continued to express his position in the hearing: "...Moreover, there is another issue that needs to be resolved. This incognito system has allowed these individuals to help their countries. I have been devoted to my duties for more than 60 years, and now rashly changing this system will only create a series of new problems with the originally fragile trust, and even push everything into a more dangerous development."

"Danger?"

Grasping a key word in Tony’s words, a congressman immediately interrupted: "I noticed Mr. Tony Stark, you used a very interesting word. I hope you can explain this in more detail. Everything, or think that this is your threat to the American government."

"I didn't mean to threaten America, I was just stating a fact."

How to change into an ordinary person, amidst the persecution of congressmen, or really panic.

However, Tony Stark is not an ordinary existence after all. Even leaving Iron Man aside, he is also America's premier super rich.

The election fundraising of many parliamentarians also has the shadow of Stark Industries.

"The promotion of Prohibition did not bring about the expected peace. Instead, it ushered in organized crime. It even made some civilians become lawbreakers overnight. The same thing happened in the evasion of military service in the Vietnam War. For young people, if the regulations of the “Superhero Registration Act” are passed, it may be the case, making those superheroes who refused to register to protect the country and the city as criminals. Once such a result occurs, it will be What it will look like, none of us knows."

Speaking of refusing to register as a superhero, Tony's mind subconsciously flashed through the figure of Captain America.

"Maybe some people will regard this bill as a threat. So Mr. Tony Stark, what is your attitude? What is your position on the'Superhero Registration Act'?"

"..."

Tony's expression was obviously silent in the face of the congressmen's pressing question.

"I have always been willing to serve the country. It has always been my proposition to protect the world. Nothing can change my guardianship."

"Tony."

Facing Tony's answer, Natasha, who had been sitting next to him, couldn't help but change her expression.

In the enquiry of congressmen, although Tony did not clearly state his position on the Superhero Registration Act, he has vaguely revealed the meaning of support. Such development made Natasha feel a little uneasy.

"Thank you for your clarification, Mr. Tony Stark."

"The committee will adjourn until nine o'clock tomorrow, and you still need to be there tomorrow, Mr. Tony Stark."

Knocking on the gavel in her hand to announce the adjournment of the hearing, Natasha looked at the figures of the congressmen leaving, and then whispered to Tony on the side.

"Tony, you should know that your answer just now revealed that you want to support the promotion of the'Superhero Registration Act'. You know the Avengers' attitude towards the bill."

"Of course I know."

Facing Natasha's question, Tony's expression was a bit heavy.

"But I also know that Congress has pushed the bill to an imperative level. Judging from the intelligence I have investigated, the U.S. military continues to dominate the bill. If I do not make an ambiguous position, Maybe even the hearing tomorrow will not be able to participate in it."

Earlier, during the hearing, Tony and the congressman debated between you and me.

The attitude of Congress has been exceptionally clear.

"Only by continuing to mediate at the hearing, we may be able to secure some possibilities to delay the promotion of the'Superhero Registration Act' led by Congress for a period of time."

Yes, there is nothing wrong, after the mediation of the hearing.

Tony already knows very well that, at least in the hands of this US government, the promotion of the Superhero Registration Act has almost reached an unstoppable level, and all he can do is try to delay it.

Or, wait until the next president takes office.

"That's all I can do. What I can look forward to next is that the next new president is not a candidate for the Democratic Party."

If the next president is the non-Democratic opposition Republican Party, then there is a certain probability that the "Superhero Registration Act" promoted by the current government will not be implemented.

However, if it continues to be succeeded by the same Democratic candidate.

Tony can almost imagine the impact of waiting for the "Superhero Registration Act" to be promoted, and even the Avengers may be split due to this.

"It's really ironic. Superheroes are working hard to protect the world, but the government doesn't think we need our protection."

"this is the truth."

As a former S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, Natasha was almost used to this situation.

"Sorry, Tony, I can't do anything."

Similarly, as the standpoint of the military in this hearing, James was almost silent throughout the process.

"I understand, if it was me, it would be the same."

For this, Tony clearly understood his friend's position, reached out his hand and patted the shoulder of'War Machine', Tony shook his head and comforted.

"Beware of General Rose."

Turning his head, scanning a member of the military who was walking not far away, James hesitated for a moment and then gave Tony a soft reminder.

"As far as I know, the suspicion behind the entire'Superhero Registration Act' is General Rose."

"General Ross?"

Hearing this familiar but somewhat unfamiliar name from a friend, Tony's eyes flashed with an inexplicable look.

For this period of time, he has been working hard to investigate why the U.S. military is so active in promoting the entire "Superhero Registration Act", but at this moment he finally has an answer.

boom!

"I see, thank you, James..."

Nodded, secretly remembering this clue in his mind, Tony looked at the friend in front of him who was about to say something.

Suddenly, in front of the Capitol where the hearing was held, there was a huge explosion.

I saw that Tony's car parked at the door of the building was heavily stamped with a gravure by a dark shadow falling from the sky.

"Tony Stark!"

Lifting his feet to pull out his legs from the iron skin of the car, wearing a [strengthening suit] with a big blood red'W' painted on his chest represents his identity as a wonder man (WonderMan).

Simon Williams looked at Tony, who was standing in front of the Capitol, and immediately showed a grinning smile on his face.

"Go to hell with your mask of arrogance and hypocrisy."

Stretching out his arms, Simon Williams’s arm muscles bulged into a strong shape in an instant under the influence of the [enhanced suit], grabbing the twisted and deformed car wreck that was pressed behind him, Simon William Muss let out a roar, and slammed it at Tony in front of him.

"Jarvis, start Mark51!"

Seeing Simon Williams and his sudden attack in front of him, Tony did not hesitate. Following his command, a large number of micro-nano robots under the suit began to assemble and deform, only one in a few seconds. A simple temporary steel battle suit appeared on Tony's chest to form a breastplate shape, and it continued to spread to other parts of his body and deformed.

Mark51 is a new generation of battle armor upgraded and transformed by Tony on the basis of Mark50.

Instead of the original heavy suitcase and portable suit, combined with the new nanotechnology, the size of the whole suit is only the size of a shirt.

Of course, due to the immature relationship of nanotechnology, the new generation of Mark51 steel suits can barely be used in combat, but it is not too significant in terms of energy or defense. The reason why Tony chose to equip Mark51 , The main reason is simply because this armor is the most convenient to carry, and it can achieve the necessary protection at critical moments, such as sudden attacks in front of you.

Let him not fall into desperation.

A large number of nano-robots condensed and deformed in Tony's palm to form a red metallic luster steel hand armor. Tony moved his fingers, raised his palm to the flying car wreck and instantly fired an impact cannon to knock it out.

After blocking this sudden attack, Tony breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, the rest of his body was quickly wrapped in the battle suit deformed by the nano-robot, and the deformation of the new battle suit was completed. His eyes It was immediately placed on Simon Williams on the opposite side.

Looking at the dark and weird [Enhanced Suit] on Simon Williams, the technology that was different from the steel suit immediately attracted Tony's attention.
