Some Unscientific Marvel Scientist

With Eddie Brock's press release and the evidence he gave in the media, the Human Torch's reputation plummeted to rock bottom.

If there were some fans who admired the Human Torch because of his powerful abilities and flamboyant personality, then after learning that his powers were taken away by Kraft, these "powerful fans" also abandoned him one after another.

Today's Johnny Stone can be said to be hated by people and can't find a supporter at all.

Not only that, but those who had been bullied by Johnny in the past also stood up and spoke out in the media to denounce the Human Torch, a bully-like superhero.

Of course, there are some people who fish in troubled waters, but many media have no intention of verifying it. Such popularity is not in vain. Anyway, in their view, the former superhero Human Torch is useless, so it is better to use the waste and let them make money. A wave of quick money.

And Johnny Stone, the former superhero who was criticized by the media and despised by the public, is now just an ordinary person. He is staying at home at this time, slumped on the sofa, staring blankly. The ceiling looked decadent.

Having his proud power taken away was a huge blow to Johnny Stone, not to mention that because of his recklessness, Reed and the others also lost their powers.

Since waking up, Johnny has been hiding at home, constantly anesthetizing himself with alcohol.

Now Johnny was unshaven and exuded a sour smell, almost like a homeless man on the street.

He reached out and groped on the coffee table next to him, grabbed a can of unfinished beer and poured it into his mouth. Then he grabbed a bag of corn flakes and poured some into his mouth at will, chewing it mechanically a few times. Swallowed it.

During this process, Johnny Stone's face showed no expression at all, and his eyes remained unfocused. It was as if his entire soul had been taken away, and he was completely relying on his body's instinct to eat.

"Click."

The door to the room was opened, and a slim figure walked in.

Susan Stone looked at her useless brother on the sofa, sighed softly, then walked to the window and opened the curtains and windows.

The fresh air blowing in from outside made the smell in the house a little better, and the sun's rays made Johnny, who was blind-eyed, couldn't help but squint his eyes.

"Huh? Susan, you're here."

Under the stimulation of the sun, Johnny's eyes regained focus, and then he discovered his sister standing next to the sofa.

"Are you going to keep doing this?"

Susan frowned and looked down at the decadent Johnny. She had also tried to persuade and scold him before, but unfortunately Johnny couldn't recover after he woke up.

However, Susan did not want to give up on her brother, and would still come over every day to persuade him and help him clean up his room.

Facing his sister's inquiry, Johnny lay on the sofa with his eyes lowered and said nothing.

Susan sighed helplessly, shook her head and began to clean up the messy room in front of her.

Johnny glanced at his busy sister with an expressionless expression, then struggled to get up from the sofa and staggered towards the bathroom.

"vomit--"

Listening to the sound of Johnny's vomiting coming from the bathroom, Susan bit her lip. Even though she knew it was Johnny's fault, she still hated Kraft for being interviewed.

After cleaning up the trash in the room, Susan walked to the bathroom door and knocked gently on the door.

"I'm leaving first. Don't drink so much."

There was a vague response from the bathroom, Susan sighed again, and then left Johnny's residence.

"Click."

As Susan's footsteps gradually faded away, it wasn't until the sound of the door closing that Johnny's muffled cry full of regret could be heard in the bathroom.

Susan, who didn't know her brother was crying, walked out of Johnny's residence. At this time, she had covered her appearance with sunglasses, a scarf and a hat, and walked quickly to the parking lot not far away.

As public opinion broke out, Johnny's original residence was quickly exposed, and the ensuing protest crowd forced Susan to find a remote and quiet new residence for Johnny.

And every time she came to clean up Johnny's house, she had to be careful not to reveal her whereabouts, otherwise the group of anti-fans who had already taken over would find out and come here to protest and cause trouble.

In fact, Reed Richards was also harassed by some "righteous people" at the beginning, but they did not persist for long.

The main reason was that Reed's experiments would go viral from time to time, so in order to avoid affecting others as much as possible, he arranged his laboratory and residence in the suburbs away from the crowd.

After those who came to protest a few times, they found that this place was far away and remote, and no one came to watch their "just actions". Gradually, they became too lazy to waste time on Reed's side.

Driving the car to Reed's laboratory, Susan found her fiancé who was busy.

"Reed, are there any results from the research?"

"It's done." Reed stopped what he was doing. "Based on the data from the original observation of the cosmic storm, I have successfully simulated the energy of the same wavelength as the cosmic storm, and I am now doing the final debugging."

Ben, who was lowering his head to adjust the machinery, raised his head, glanced at Reed and Susan, then lowered his head silently and continued working.

For Ben, who cannot regain his human appearance after the mutation, it is actually quite good not to be a superhero, but to continue doing research silently as before.

It's just that his friend Reed wanted to restore his identity as Mr. Fantastic, so he had no choice but to help, but he also made up his mind not to turn into a stone man again.

"Reed, you can start."

Ben Grim closed the lid, turned on the switch, and said after taking a look at the stable reading on the meter.

"I see."

Reed exhaled, opened the door of the instrument in front of him, and walked in.

"Start it."

Reed Richards said, nodding to Ben at the controller through the glass.

This was not the first time that Ben, who had cooperated with Reed, didn't say a word. He reached out and pressed the button to release the simulated cosmic storm.

Within the instrument, Reed's body began to mutate again under the wash of energy created by himself. His body was stretched and twisted at will like rubber, posing in various strange shapes in the cabin.

But as the instrument was turned off, Reed found that the cosmic energy in his body was rapidly dissipating, and after a while his powers disappeared again.

"What's wrong? Reed."

Susan asked with concern when she saw Reed coming out with a solemn expression.

"My ability disappeared again." Reed pursed his lips, "I still underestimated Kraft. He is indeed the talented boy that Tony Stark values."

"How could it be? Didn't your body just return to the state of a rubber man?"

Susan exclaimed, covering her mouth with her hands.

"Craft should have injected something into our bodies that can neutralize or dissipate the energy of the universe."

As a genius scientist, Reed quickly figured out the methods used by Craft based on the information provided by SHIELD.

"We need to do a full body check first."

Reed's skills were nothing to say. After finding the right direction, he quickly found the nanomachines that Kraft had put into their bodies.

"What a great boy..."

Despite the mutual hostility, Reed still had nothing but praise for Kraft.

Compared with using other energy or medicine to neutralize cosmic energy, this kind of nanomachines that can dispel cosmic energy takes longer to take effect and is more troublesome to solve.

"Craft recently developed a virtual helmet, right?"

Reed Richards suddenly became interested in using technology to compete with Kraft.

"After we take out all the nanomachines in the body, let's develop a virtual reality product to compete with Dreamland Company."

Unlike those companies that can only watch Dream Company make huge profits with "Dream World", Reed has the ability to create a virtual world that is not inferior to "Dream World".

As for the other businesses of Dreamland Company, he has no interest in them. They are too low-tech and unchallenging.

The only interesting mechanical prosthetics have gradually withdrawn from the mainstream market and become high-end customized products for wealthy people. There is no point in competing with Kraft on this.

However, what Reed Richards didn't know was that he was playing right into Nick Fury's hands.

SHIELD actually has no intention of actually taking action against Kraft, and even the plan to eat both ends is not their main purpose.

Nick Fury's real purpose is to formulate a defense plan against Kraft. Because Kraft is very powerful, not controlled by SHIELD, and has never had a good attitude towards American officials, Nick Fury Rui felt that he needed to prepare for a rainy day.

It's just that Kraft usually reveals too little, and he doesn't like to be a superhero like Peter Parker. SHIELD has no place to collect more information.

That's why Nick Fury "helped" him find a few opponents, allowing them to have a little friction from time to time, and then SHIELD could take this opportunity to use some black technology or something.

In fact, in Nick Fury's opinion, the superhero most suitable to compete with Kraft should be Tony Stark.

It's a pity that before SHIELD took Kraft seriously, he already had a relationship with Stark, which forced Nick Fury to find Thor, the alien.

But Reed Richards is not bad now. Although he is far behind Tony Stark in terms of funds, he will not lose to Tony Stark in terms of inventions and creations.

And in addition to the Fantastic Four and Thor, Nick Fury also prepared other opponents for Kraft.
