Marvel: Unlimited Possession Chapter 553: Hearing
[From the legend of Dragonfly Ned Leeds...]
[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.
The fight between Red Hood Parker Robbins and the two teenage superheroes was a bit anticlimactic, but it also helped him gain a lot of popularity.
Although, based on Parker Robbins' current performance, there is not much lore brought about by the appearance of a third-rate supervillain at best.
However, for Li Ran, who had exhausted a lot of legends in the previous unpacking, he did not have a position of being selective.
What's more, while Parker Robbins is inconspicuous today, it doesn't mean that he will be the same in the future.
……
"Are you ready, Tony?"
Washington, the hearing on the 'Superhero Registration Act'.
As a representative of the military superhero, James, the 'War Machine', greeted Tony, who was invited, with a solemn expression.
Since it is a bill about superheroes, it is natural to avoid superhero groups such as the Avengers. Therefore, after some thoughtful thinking, the American government decided to invite the most well-known Avengers to also have a relationship with the American military. Tony Stark, who is somewhat related, came to participate in the hearing on the bill.
Take this as a foil to the US government's open stance in the Superhero Registration Act.
"You should be clear, James, the so-called hearings are nothing more than a gimmick. I never believed that Congress would change its decision because of the results of the hearings."
Pictured his lips, Tony knew about the American Congress, a group of extremely arrogant beings.
“…”
Faced with Tony's merciless dismantling, James could only return a helpless smile.
It can be said that the most embarrassing position in the entire 'Superhero Registration Act' is James as 'War Machine'.
"Tony, the hearing is about to begin."
Just when the two were silent, Natasha, who accompanied Tony to the bill hearing, appeared at the right time, breaking the gloomy atmosphere.
"Mr. Tony Stark, most of the superhumans existing in the United States, or superheroes in some populations, appeared after World War II, and the most representative figure should be one of the members of the Avengers. Captain America. These individuals hide their identities through disguise, and frequently participate in violent conflicts that cause a lot of damage to life and property..."
At the hearing, as a member of the bill pushing, an American congressman used an aggressive attitude to explain his views on so-called superheroes.
"By our most accurate estimates, since World War II to the present, more than $300 billion has been lost in these types of wars, for which the federal government and local agencies have been forced to pay because we don't know there are Who can stand up and pay for this loss, let me repeat the amount, Mr. Tony Stark, $300 billion, and this is not counting the innocent people who lost their lives because of this violent conflict... For this, you Is there nothing to say, superheroes, Iron Man, Mr. Tony Stark!"
The congressman's position was aggressive, but Tony was clearly not unprepared.
Glancing at the expressionless members of Congress in front of him, Tony calmly responded: "If you only use numbers to calculate all the gains and losses, then please tell me that the Avengers once stopped aliens For the invasion of the United States and even the world, preventing the resurrected Statue of Liberty from sweeping the White House, and not long ago, Canada successfully wiped out a huge monster that almost destroyed the world, what is the calculation, sir?"
"In the battle in Canada, the United States lost a full aircraft carrier battle group, with a total cost of more than 50 billion US dollars, not to mention the American soldiers who were forced to retire due to frostbite, and the damage caused by the battle. The Canadian city, these losses are just a battle, and $300 billion is the accumulation of all the superheroes in the sixty years since World War II, you only see the loss and forget the peace that the battle brings , only $300 billion has protected world peace for 60 years, which I think is a good deal, Mr. Congressman."
Rebutting the MP's view that superhero groups are taking a toll, Tony continued his position at the hearing: "...and, there's another issue that needs to be addressed, this system of incognito has made these individuals Their country has served their country faithfully for more than sixty years, and now rashly changing the system will only create a new set of problems with the already fragile trust, and even push everything into a more dangerous development."
"Dangerous?"
Grabbing a key word in Tony's words, a member of Congress immediately interrupted: "I noticed Mr. Tony Stark, you used a very interesting word, I hope you can elaborate more to explain all of this, or consider it a threat to the government of the United States."
"I don't mean to threaten America in any way, I'm just stating a fact."
How to replace ordinary people, in the persecution of congressmen, or really panic.
However, after all, Tony Stark is not an ordinary existence. Even if he is not the identity of Iron Man, he is also the number one super rich man in the United States.
There is also a shadow of Stark Industries behind the election fundraising of many congressmen.
“The push for Prohibition did not bring the peace it had hoped for, but instead ushered in organized crime, which even turned some civilians into lawbreakers overnight. The same thing happened in the Vietnam War. Among the young people who evade military service, if the regulations of the 'Superhero Registration Act' are passed, it may be the same, making those superheroes who refused to register to protect the country and the city to become criminals. Once such a result occurs, to We don't know what the time will be like."
When it came to refusing to register as a superhero, the figure of Captain America flashed through Tony's mind subconsciously.
"Maybe some people will see this bill as a threat, so what is your attitude, Mr. Tony Stark, and your position on the 'Superhero Registration Act'?"
“…”
Faced with the congressman's questioning, Tony's expression was visibly silent.
"I have always been willing to serve the country, and protecting the world has always been my opinion. Nothing can change my position of protection."
"Tony."
Facing Tony's answer, Natasha, who had been sitting beside him, couldn't help but change her expression.
During the congressman's inquiry, although Tony did not clearly state his position on the 'Superhero Registration Act', he had already vaguely revealed the meaning of support. This development made Natasha feel a little uneasy.
"Thank you for the note, Mr. Tony Stark."
"The committee adjourns until nine o'clock tomorrow, and you still need to be there tomorrow, Mr. Tony Stark."
Knocked 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 next to her.
"Tony, you should know that your answer just now has revealed that you want to support the promotion of the 'Superhero Registration Act'. You clearly know the Avengers' attitude towards the bill."
"Of course I know."
Facing Natasha's questioning, Tony's expression was a little heavy.
"But I also know that Congress's push for the bill has reached an imperative level. From the intelligence I've investigated, the US military is constantly leading the push for the bill. If I don't make ambiguous The expression of position may not even be able to participate in tomorrow's hearing."
Before the hearing, Tony and the Assemblyman had a back-and-forth debate.
The attitude of Congress has been exceptionally clear.
"Only by continuing to mediate at the hearing, there may be some possibilities to delay the promotion of the Congress-led 'Superhero Registration Act' for a period of time."
Yes, that's right, through the good offices of the hearing.
Tony has been very clear, at least in the hands of this US government, the promotion of the 'Superhero Registration Act' has almost reached the point where it cannot be stopped, and all he can do is try to delay it.
Or, wait until the next president takes office.
"That's all I can do. The next thing I can look forward to is that the next new president is not a Democratic candidate."
If the next president is a non-Democratic opposition Republican, there is still a certain probability that the 'Superhero Registration Act' promoted by the current administration will not be implemented.
However, if it continues to be succeeded by the same Democratic candidate.
Tony can almost imagine the impact of waiting until the 'Superhero Registration Act' is pushed forward, and even the Avengers may be divided as a result.
"It's really ironic, superheroes are trying to protect the world, but the government doesn't think we need our protection."
"This is reality."
As a former S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, Natasha is almost used to seeing this.
"Sorry Tony, I can't do anything."
Similarly, as representing the military's position in this hearing, James was silent almost the entire time.
"I understand, if it were me, too."
For this, Tony obviously understood his friend's position, reached out and patted the shoulder of 'War Machine', Tony shook his head and comforted.
"Beware General Ross."
Turning his head, he glanced at a member of the military who was not far away. James hesitated for a while and then reminded Tony in a low voice.
"As far as I know, General Ross is the most suspect behind the entire 'Superhero Registration Act'."
"General Ross?"
Hearing this familiar but somewhat unfamiliar name from a friend, Tony's eyes flashed an inexplicable look.
For some time now, he has been trying to investigate why the US military is so active in the promotion of the entire "Superhero Registration Act", but now he finally has the answer.
Boom!
"I see, thank you, James..."
Nodded, secretly taking this clue in his heart, 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 loud explosion.
I saw Tony's car parked at the entrance of the building being heavily smashed with a gravure by a dark shadow falling from the sky.
"Tony Stark!"
He lifted his feet and pulled out his legs from the iron sheet of the car. He was wearing a [enhanced suit] with a big blood red 'W' drawn on his chest to represent his WonderMan identity.
Simon Williams looked at Tony, who was standing in front of the Capitol, and then showed a hideous smile on his face.
"Go to **** with your arrogance and hypocrisy."
Stretching out his arms, under the effect of the [enhanced suit], Simon Williams' arms muscles swelled into a thick shape in an instant, grabbing the twisted and deformed car wreckage behind him, Simon Williams let out a roar, and smashed it hard at Tony in front of him.
"Jarvis, start Mark51!"
Looking at Simon Williams in front of him and his sudden attack, Tony didn't hesitate. Following his command, a large number of micro-nano robots under the suit began to combine and deform, in just a few seconds Only a simple temporary steel battle suit appeared on Tony's chest to form the shape of a breastplate, and it continued to spread and deform to other parts of his body.
Mark51 is a new generation of armor that Tony upgraded and transformed on the basis of Mark50.
Instead of the original heavy suitcase portable battle suit, combined with new nanotechnology, the size of the whole battle suit is only the size of a shirt~IndoMTL.com~ Of course, because nanotechnology is still immature, a new generation of Although the Mark51 steel suit can barely be used as a battle, it is not too significant in terms of energy or defense. The main reason why Tony chose to equip the Mark51 is because this armor is the most portable to carry. It is convenient to be able to achieve the necessary protection at critical moments, such as the sudden attack in front of you.
Keep him from falling into a corner.
A large number of nano-robots condensed and deformed in Tony's palm to form a steel gauntlet with a red metallic luster. Tony moved his fingers, raised the palm of his hand, aimed at the flying car wreckage and instantly fired a shock cannon to knock it out.
Stopping this sudden attack, Tony breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, the rest of his body was protected by the war clothes transformed by the nano-robots. After completing the transformation of the new war clothes, he His eyes immediately turned to Simon Williams on the opposite side.
Looking at the dark and weird [enhanced suit] on Simon Williams, the technology that is different from the steel suit immediately attracted Tony's attention.
