Hex Technology Tycoon of American Comics

The Illuminati, in the comics, is a secret organization made up of the smartest and richest superheroes on Earth.

Usually their members include Mr. Fantastic, Iron Man, Doctor Strange, Professor X, Black Bolt and Namor.

Unlike the superhero group, this organization is more secretive and more radical in its actions.

However, although they claim to be composed of the smartest superheroes, they often do stupid things...

But Carl is concerned about other things - because he always thought that the trajectory of this world would be closer to the movie MCU universe, but in the movie MCU universe, Iron Man did not join the Illuminati - not until his death!

But there are no mutants in the movie MCU universe.

So this matter...can be regarded as Karl's negligence.

Speaking of secret organizations, the two also boarded a floating vehicle - this is a completely safe place without any monitoring equipment.

"Illuminati?" Karl touched his chin. If this is the case... it's not impossible.

The key is to be afraid that the Illuminati will do something world-destroying stupidity.

"Let me make sure first, this will not make me show up every day and go to the front line to fight, right?"

"Ah?" Tony was stunned, thinking, don't you do this every day?

"Forget it... I think there is some feasibility, but you have to come up with a program, right? For example, how will this organization make decisions? Vote? Or elect a prime minister?"

"These can be done slowly." Seeing that Carl seemed to relent, Tony said, "Since there are only two of us at the moment, I think it is enough for us to mainly share information."

"You make some sense, then I'll join - of course, if the nature of this organization changes later, I will reconsider."

"Of course - speaking of which, I have information to share right now. An agency called Homeland Security is planning to form a superhero team."

Carl's expression when he looked at Tony became a little surprised - although the relationship between the two was good, was the progress going too fast?

The emotion in his head was heard by Blitz, who said: "Sir, I think you are too vigilant. In Mr. Stark's eyes, you are a talented young inventor and billionaire.

Moreover, he and Lieutenant Colonel Rhodes were rescued by Ivan Vanke. He was strong, smart, and not a bad person. The only thing he lacked was a little sense of responsibility. "

That's not a bad thing to say, and Karl himself is not that repellent to being friends with Tony.

"You agree?"

Tony shrugged: "Well... Anyway, I'm their consultant now. Do you remember the green monster that made a big fuss in New York last time?"

Carl nodded.

More than just remembering it, he was there.

Tony continued: "There were two protagonists in that chaos, one green, codenamed Hulk, and one named Abomination.

Abomination was taken into custody by the military, and now the parent organization of the Avengers plans to let us recruit Abomination into the Avengers--

I said this is nonsense, you want me to have a business relationship with a monster? "

"What are you going to do?"

"What? I'll just walk in, have a little chat with Ross, laugh at his super soldier serum plan, and better yet have him blast me away before he even lets me talk."

"It's your style, but since you have an idea, what do you want to say when you tell me this?"

"Because I discovered something interesting - that night, an agent was attacked while collecting information there. It is said that the attacker was a university professor named Samuel Stern."

Tony opened his watch and projected Samuel Stern's information on his hand.

At that time, this guy's head was still very small.

"Then what? Are you looking for him too?"

Tony nodded: "This guy seems to be very familiar with the two monsters, but... I want to talk about another thing."

Tony's expression turned mean and he released the second video.

"Actually, Stern showed up on the streets of New York a few days later, accompanied by someone --"

Stern's appearance could only be barely recognized on the video screen. He was draped in a torn blanket and moving hurriedly towards the camera's blind spot.

Next to him was a guy whose appearance was completely covered.

Karl raised his eyebrows - that's him.

"Although I know this is a bit nonsense, but you know, I created a set of algorithms to compare body shapes, and I found that there is a... genius who started to emerge from then on."

The holographic projection found a piece of information-Stark Industries employee, Carl.

Yes, Carl once worked for Stark Industries, and it was only less than two weeks after he traveled across time.

Tony's expression became more and more proud: "Not only that, I also found traces of burns and disfigurement from the photos of you at that time. It was very thorough, although it is almost invisible now."

Judging from Tony's expression, this guy has determined that Karl is the one.

Karl sighed: "So you just rely on these and think I am that person?"

"I didn't say that, but I think the possibility is more than 98%, because I found out that there was a clinic that night and there happened to be a patient - also named Carl, and he is still on the missing list."

So this is one of the people with the highest IQ in the world - as long as he wants to find it, he is even more efficient than S.H.I.E.L.D.

After all, SHIELD didn't even realize that he was the mysterious person who fought with Black Widow that day.

Karl waved his hand and surrendered - since they are all members of the Illuminati, it is better to be honest, and this is not something shameful.

"Okay, you win, yeah, that's me."

"So your intelligence comes from some kind of serum? Are you being controlled by Sten?"

"Do you think it's possible?" Karl sighed, "Can't the death begin to emerge after the dead are thrown off their shackles? Don't forget that you just saw an example.

And he was almost beaten to death. "

Tony's tone was stagnant: "Can you stop talking about that guy? Well, I believe you, after all, you haven't turned into a monster."

In fact, the reason Tony really believed in Carl was that his products did not contain any gamma radiation and were completely unrelated to gamma experiments.

Stern's specialty is gamma rays, so if Carl is Stern's puppet, these products must have certain characteristics.

But the truth is: absolutely not.

"So, do you have anything you plan to share with me?"

"Indeed." Carl also opened the aerospace vehicle screen, "Stern is here with me, and I can tell you the identity of that green monster - he is Dr. Bruce Banner, although I think you may already know it."

Tony crossed his legs, raised his glass and nodded.

"Then, for your honesty, we should drink a toast."

Karl also raised his glass and the two clinked their glasses.

Tony continued: "The second thing is that the Avengers plan to let me help them cover up and transport a ship coming out of the Arctic Circle. Do you think I need to investigate?"

"Well... I probably know what's in there. They seem to have discovered Captain America."

"Who?"

Tony's voice rose several octaves. Fortunately, this was the inside of a floating vehicle.

Tony also realized his situation and said awkwardly: "Your car is good - are you talking about Captain America?"

Carl nodded, and then confirmed in his head that this world was indeed Captain America - that is, Steve Rogers, not Captain Carter.

“Captain America crashed in the Arctic Circle, but he actually didn’t die, but was frozen.

His superhuman physique allowed him to survive hypothermia and then live in ice for decades. "

"Where did the news come from?"

"Samuel Stern, because the Avengers were after him, so he responded."

"This is really... a valuable piece of information, an old popsicle that spans time." Tony thought about the information at hand now, "Homeland Security Bureau seems to be very eager, a war hero, a monster and... I am charming and powerful billionaires, what do they want these people to do?”

"Ahem, there's no need to add those prefixes to yourself."

"That's not the point. I mean, the point is what do they want to do?"

Unlike in the original novel, Tony now has someone he considers an equal, with whom he can communicate, and who has greater access to information.

So he started trying to do more thinking, like he was meant to do.

So, Carl tentatively suggested: "I think... maybe the founder of the Avengers will know more information, maybe there are aliens?"

"Alien?" Tony was stunned. "Is it true?"

"might have."

"Will it really exist?"

"It's not completely impossible." Seeing that Tony wanted to continue asking, Karl said: "In short, he must be to prevent some kind of crisis, some kind of problem that you can't solve alone.

Since we are now an organization, I think we can start with Captain America. For example, you can ask Captain, why did he choose to fall into the North Pole?

What's on that bomber? "

"It's a good direction."

During the good communication between the two, they both got the information they wanted.

The first internal symposium of the Illuminati concluded successfully.
