American comics: Starting with Luke the Maker

Tony Stark had just finished suiting up. As he hovered in mid-air, he was struck head-on by a cannon blast, sending him flying backwards, crashing into the other side of the main exhibition stage.

“Damn it, weren't you supposed to have control of them?” Tony groaned, shaking his head as he pushed aside the rubble, complaining to Luke on the comms.

“I only bypassed the firewall using a backdoor I knew about to interfere with the data. It's obvious that some techie is patching the vulnerabilities and fighting me for control,” Luke replied, wearing his comms headset. Although Justin's software systems were as bad as his weapons, the software programs of these big guys in front of him were unexpectedly excellent.

This was clearly the work of Ivan Vanko.

To be fair, the only thing he lacked was Stark's background and resources, otherwise, he might have become another Stark-like figure.

On the stage, more than twenty Iron Soldiers covering all military branches of the sea, land, and air were firing bullets like crazy. The target was obviously Tony, forcing him to dodge the wildly aimed and randomly fired bullets in mid-air. Unfortunately, some people at the exhibition had already been injured or even killed.

“I understand you, but that kind of thing isn't good to say out loud.” Tony understood why Luke had Hammer Industries' program vulnerabilities; he often did these things too. So, he only mentioned it briefly before changing the subject, “So, is it likely that this isn't an accident? Sorry, can you have someone take Pepper and the others away first?”

“They are well protected by Snoke.” Luke glanced at Eina and Pepper, who were being protected in the center by Snoke and others. Of course, there were also several generals and congressmen attending today's expo who had gathered there, seeking protection. After all, Snoke and the others, clad in Mark armor-style Iron Suits, could really bring a sense of security in this chaotic venue.

As Tony flew through the air, several energy pulse cannons directly turned several wildly firing Iron Soldiers into scrap metal. Justin couldn't bear to use the best materials for these mass-produced soldiers, so even if Tony's Mark series armor didn't use any high-powered weapon modules, energy pulse cannons were enough to deal with them.

James Rhodes, with Luke's help, had also regained control of his armor. To prevent the remaining Iron Soldiers from also going crazy and posing a threat to people, he mercilessly used his shoulder cannons to turn the remaining Iron Soldiers on the stage into scrap metal. This scene made Justin Hammer, who was hiding far behind Eina and the others, twitch, feeling extremely distressed.

The cost of each of these Iron Soldiers on the stage, even the mass-produced version, was over 100 million US dollars.

And that was the price before Ivan modified them!

In just a short time, Hammer Industries had lost at least three or four billion US dollars!

But did he dare to protest?

He didn't dare.

A dozen minutes ago, he might have been a high-spirited successful person.

A dozen minutes later, he was probably going to become a person with a lot of headaches.

The main exhibition venue was full of upper-class people, including many congressmen and high-ranking military officials. If he played it well, it would naturally be an excellent GG platform, but in the current situation, Hammer Industries' reputation was probably going to stink in the circle. At least for a few years, people wouldn't forget today's incident. Those who were injured and frightened at today's venue? They should remember it deeply, for a lifetime. Hammer Industries might inexplicably gain a lot of animosity.

What's worse, people died!

Justin didn't care about whether people died or not, he cared about the identity of the dead!

Ivan Vanko.

Justin immediately thought of the mastermind behind all this! Only he could make these Iron Soldiers lose control so easily! After all, he was the real manufacturer of these Iron Soldiers! And soon, he also thought that because the other party was already a dead man, and he had some consistent behavior of "passing off" and liked to run a genius persona like Stark, then it was obvious that if he couldn't explain it clearly, he was afraid that he would take the blame for others.

Could he explain it clearly?

How could he possibly explain clearly the things he had done to deceive the world? Once exposed, his troubles would be just as great. Judging others by himself, he didn't believe that Stark and Haibolon would be generous enough to let him off, and not kick him when he was down.

……

“What are you looking at?” Outside the venue, Peter Parker, who had run far away and whose clothes were a little messy from being pushed and squeezed by the crowd, looked at his female companion, Gwen Stacy, who was panting with her hands on her knees like him.

“I saw my dad.” Gwen's eyes looked inside the venue, “He led people into the venue.”

“It's okay.” Seeing the worry on the girl's face, Peter subconsciously mustered up his courage and hugged her, comforting her, “Mr. Stark and the others are all there, they will solve this trouble. Things should be under control, otherwise those big Iron guys should have rushed out with the crowd and wreaked havoc.”

Gwen didn't speak, but just reached out and hugged Peter back.

……

“It's him.”

Justin looked dazed as several policemen walked up to him and handcuffed him under the accusation of Eina and Pepper, the two persons in charge.

“We received information that Justin used illegal means to rescue the dangerous person Ivan Vanko from prison. The Iron Soldier technology of Hammer Industries also comes from Ivan Vanko. He is the biggest person responsible for today's accident.” Eina directly stated the intelligence that Luke had passed on to her.

Watching Chief George Stacy take Justin away, Eina smiled happily at Pepper beside her, “I've wanted to do this for a long time.”

“Is the matter resolved?” Pepper looked at the silent venue, worried about Tony's safety.

“He and Lieutenant Colonel James went to Hammer Industries' East Coast factory to solve the real mastermind behind the scenes.” Luke's voice sounded from the side, answering Pepper's question. This was a conflict between the Stark and Vanko families, and he had no intention of interfering and helping Tony solve the other party. Although in the original drama, Tony and James were both at a disadvantage against Ivan's Whiplash armor when they joined forces, but today's Tony Mark VII, using TZ-92 from the Haibolon material library, and under Luke's influence, the other party was not stingy about installing weapon systems in his own armor.

Even in a one-on-one fight, Stark's chances of winning were very high in Luke's opinion.

PS: My head is a little dizzy and swollen, and my body is slightly cold. I feel like it's a sign of a cold. This is a chapter that I don't know how I wrote in the quilt. The second chapter may be later, my head is really confused now.

PS2: Everyone must pay more attention to their health and drink more hot water!
