A foreigner's journey

In Stark Tower, Tony Stark, the winner of life, is holding a wine glass and standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, overlooking the night view of the most prosperous city on the planet.

Just 2 hours ago, he had perfectly crafted a brand new and unique steel suit. Jarvis was just waiting for the final painting step on the suit before it could be stored in the exhibition cabinet.

It can be said that in this world, except for his favorite beautiful assistant Pepper, only the steel armor can soothe the hole in his heart.

Every time he made a new armor, Tony felt that he was one step closer to completeness, and he felt a little more secure in his heart.

This lack of security may be a 'treasure' left over from the base in the desert. Tony does not hate this feeling, because just as his savior Ethan said to Tony before he died - respect your life. , don't waste it.

The sense of crisis kept Tony from standing still and spurred him to run forward.

Even if he can't see the powerful enemy he expected, Tony must try his best to create a comprehensive and rich armor library to deal with possible crises in the future.

"I would have thought nightlife would be a little more colorful for a billionaire like you."

A rich male voice suddenly came from behind Tony.

Tony didn't look back, he just picked up the wine glass and took a sip, and continued to look out the window:

"I'm sorry to disappoint you. In addition, I only have two hours every Thursday afternoon to perform my so-called 'strategic advisor' duties. Stark Office is now closed."

"Aren't you curious how I got in?"

"You are the king of secret agents. I won't be surprised if you grow big wings full of tumors and fly around outside now, Nick Fury."

Tony turned around and looked at the bald black man who quietly appeared and occupied his sofa.

This man wore an eyepatch over his left eye and wore a black leather trench coat. His face was full of competence and sharpness.

Tony walked to the wine cabinet and took out a bottle of good wine and two glasses: "Tell me, are you here to solicit sponsorship or to chat? If it's the latter, then you'd better send Natasha back."

"Didn't you unilaterally fire Natasha?" Nick Fury put his arms on the armrests of the sofa and crossed his legs.

"At least it's more pleasing to the eye than you."

"Unfortunately, Natasha has a mission."

Nick Fury threw a special information disk onto the table in front of the sofa, making a clanging sound.

Tony put on his glasses and clicked a few times in the air, and the special information disk immediately projected a three-dimensional image in the air.

The picture showed two people talking. Tony Stark knew one of them, Jimmy Fallon, the host of the most popular talk show "The Tonight Show" in the United States.

Sitting on the sofa opposite Jimmy is a handsome Asian man. He is probably between thirty and thirty-five years old. He has black hair tied into a short ponytail and is wearing a black suit and black shirt. , only the tie and socks are bright red with embroidered fan patterns.

The Asian man in the picture is sitting elegantly and talking.

"I think that today more and more superheroes and supervillains need a convincing enough 'condition' to restrain them. Otherwise, the world will soon become a battlefield between them for power."

Jimmy asked at the right time: "In other words, Mr. Suzhan, do you think that even superheroes have a side that is detrimental to the people?"

The Asian man known as 'Quick Kill' had a stern face and said unsmilingly: "Yes. The so-called superheroes are more like masked vigilantes who love lynching. Most of them do not have the same level of protection as real police officers." Systematic teaching and training also lacks relevant knowledge.

Can you expect a rich second generation who wears a steel suit and flies around in the sky all day long to know how to negotiate with robbers to protect the safety of hostages? Obviously not. "

Hearing this, Tony Stark's face immediately fell: "Do I still need to negotiate with the robbers? I just need Jarvis to lock all the robbers and injure them at the same time. Where did this guy come from?" layman?"

Nick Fury showed a sinister smile like a fox: "Stark, be patient."

In the screen, Su Zhan continued:

"And those so-called super villains are a group of wanton psychopaths, they are not restrained like these masked vigilantes.

For example, a superhero and a supervillain fought in the city, and the aftermath of the battle resulted in 10 deaths and 40 injuries. Who should bear the responsibility? "

Jimmy loosened his tie unconsciously: "Well, I think the super villains should be responsible, at least most of the responsibility. If they didn't do evil, there would be no superheroes to stop them. Is that my understanding?"

"Oh, of course you can understand that. However, superheroes only capture but not kill super villains. Those super villains who always have various reasons to escape from prison and continue to do evil commit crimes again, causing more casualties. Who should be held responsible for this? Come and carry it?”

"But you just said that superheroes are masked vigilantes who practice vigilante justice. If supervillains are killed regardless of laws and regulations, wouldn't superheroes also become so-called supervillains?"

Jimmy caught the loophole in Su Zhan's words and asked immediately.

Su Zhan spread his hands: "Do you think the families of those who were killed or injured would like superheroes to capture super criminals and hand them over to prisons where they could be escaped at any time, or to kill them on the spot to prevent future troubles?

The problem I want to say is that those vigilantes do not have the professionalism of the police. They do not know what they should and should not do. There are no relevant laws and regulations for them to follow.

When encountering criminals who threaten people's lives or even cause a large number of casualties, do superheroes have the right to kill them?

How to determine the degree of punishment a super criminal deserves? You must know that the difference between super criminals and ordinary criminals is that the harm they can cause to society is huge. "

"So, you're going to propose to the government legislation for superheroes and supercriminals?"

“Superheroes and super criminals have appeared in this world and begun to integrate into society. We cannot shut them out or kill them all. We can only change the environment so that ordinary people can get along with them.

Not just about the law, I've started an association. "

"association?"

“An association dedicated to serving superheroes and making heroes [professional].

Those superhumans who live in poverty and wander between superheroes and supercriminals will receive funding and training.

As long as ordinary heroes register with the association, they will receive a monthly salary that is enough to maintain a normal standard of living.

At the same time, we will also conduct detailed grading and targeted intensive training for registered heroes. If the heroes are willing, we will also fight for their rights and interests such as advertising, film and television comic copyrights, etc. "

"Wait a minute, I heard you say you were going to level up the heroes?"

Jimmy keenly tasted the mystery. Many superheroes don’t fight for money, so why? There is morality and reputation in the heart.

If what the man in front of him said comes true, then a large number of superheroes will join his association in order to compete for rankings. The heroes at the top of the rankings and those recruited into the association will protect the association from attacks and revenge by other heroes and villains.

Su Zhan smiled: "In fact, the association's official website has announced the first batch of hero rankings. The rankings are based on the heroes' overall strength, contribution to society, and public voice and evaluation.

Of course, the final ranking is only a personal subjective judgment. Please do not take certain heroes into account. "

Click.

The scene ended here. Tony came back to his senses and said immediately: "Jarvis, bring up the hero ranking list of this association for me!"

Soon, a huge 3D picture of the ranking list appeared in the room.

It shows that the name of the association is 'Heroes Association'. The ranking list lists a total of 64 famous and unknown superheroes in the world today. The rankings are divided into three levels: C, B, and A.

Tony immediately set his sights on the top A-level and looked around, but his name was not there.

impossible! He looked down reluctantly, and Class B didn't have his own name either.

Finally, he found the hero codename of [Iron Man] in the C-level 4th position.

There are additional notes at the end——

[Wearing high-tech armor, capable of flying and long-range attack, his physical body is only that of an ordinary person. His contribution to society is low, his public evaluation is average, and he tends to be an idol rather than a superhero. 】

After a moment of silence, Tony laughed angrily: "Sure enough, it is a personal subjective judgment, completely the way of thinking of a layman... No, he is clearly jealous of me, what a despicable and low-level way of criticizing me!"

At this time, Nick Fury said slowly:

“But you have to admit that this man named ‘Quick Slash’ has great ambitions. He wants to win over all the superheroes in the world, even super criminals.

I wonder if you have noticed that this organization called the Heroes Association claims to be a group based on the operating principles of non-profit, justice and charity. "

Nick Fury pointed to the huge ranking list in the center of the room:

"He wants to turn the world into a freak show where heroes and villains tangle on stage for the enjoyment of the people."
