Chapter 221 Old soldiers never die, they just run for office.

A few days later, Water Corporation was in the headlines again.

This originated from the first superhero introduced by Vought International.

There were rumors circulating online that the first person to debut for Vought International would definitely be that girl next door who could spit silk.

I never expected it to be Captain America.

Soon, Water Company released a huge poster.

Captain America, dressed in his classic star-spangled suit, holds his shield and kneels on one knee.

The caption at the top reads: "Seventy years in slumber, but the old soldier never dies."

The bottom reads Captain America's name: Steve Rogers.

In an instant, topics about Captain America and Vought International skyrocketed on social media.

"Captain America, this is a childhood memory for me!"

"Is this photoshopped? Captain America died a long time ago, didn't he?"

"Grandpa, look! The superhero you used to idolize when you were young is popular again."

"Is this really Captain America? Or is it a clone created by capitalists?"

"According to Vought, they discovered a sleeping Captain America in the Arctic."

"How is that possible? It's not like time has stopped, it's frozen. How could this skin condition belong to an elderly person?"

Before netizens could discuss it for long, Vought International dropped another bombshell.

The official account posted a video of Captain America walking into the federal courthouse holding a lawsuit.

In the footage, Steve stands in front of the camera, holding a shield in one hand and the indictment in the other, and says to the reporters:

"Seventy years ago I fought for freedom, and today I want to seek justice for all the forgotten soldiers."

"The U.S. government owes us veterans too much."

The comment section under this video instantly erupted.

"It should have been sued long ago. The US government is using soldiers as tools for the benefit of capitalists."

"The soldiers shed blood and tears, and in the end, they didn't even get a pension."

"Support Captain America. Captain America is also a victim of the military's super-soldier program."

"This is a real superhero, a million times better than those showy superheroes."

Just as this matter was gaining momentum, Wot dropped a bombshell, causing the buzz to surge again with a single statement.

Vought International announced that it would fund Captain America's presidential campaign.

The moment the news broke, all internet users experienced system crashes.

These days, superheroes aren't content with just fighting aliens; they're starting to get involved in politics?

Sure enough, the end of the universe is the civil service exam.

The hashtag "Captain America running for president" instantly topped the global trending searches.

Soon after, Vought International's official account released a campaign trailer for Captain America.

In the campaign video, Steve stands in front of the Capitol Building, holding a shield, facing the rising sun.

"Seventy years ago I fought for freedom; today, I fight for every ordinary person."

Shortly after the video was released, the comment section was flooded with messages.

"I support this, my vote has been cast."

"Leave your vote to childhood."

"I trust Captain America to govern the country."

Some netizens even posted videos of their grandfathers parading with a Captain America poster from back then.

One hot-tempered guy even spoke up: "Those suit-wearing bastard politicians are the biggest villains in the world."

"It's time for real superheroes to end the evil in Washington."

Capitalizing on this momentum, Vought International unveiled its trump card: the Nationwide Superhero Project.

They decided to hold a superhero talent show called "Rising Star" and bought advertising space throughout New York City.

In an instant, advertisements for the show were plastered all over the streets of New York like a persistent nuisance. In subway tunnels, you could see Captain America holding his shield and smiling: "Let me turn around for you."

The rules are quite simple: anyone with a skill can participate in the show.

Whether it's a bug-man bitten by a mutated insect or an electric man who gains superpowers from being electrocuted by a telephone pole, they can all participate in the show.

Moreover, it's not limited to chivalrous superheroes; even outlaws who do free shopping at supermarkets can sign up.

Even ordinary people with some talent but no superpowers can participate in the show.

The show also features veteran superheroes like Captain America as mentors and commentators.

According to rumors, Iron Man and Spider-Man will also make cameo appearances, and even the most mysterious Superman may participate as a special guest.

……

A few days later, Roger was having tea at the villa.

Gwen strode in, her high heels clicking on her heels: "Boss, 'Rising Star' is premiering right now. You, the big boss behind it all, aren't you going to watch it?"

Roger gently swirled his teacup, not even looking up: "It's just a childish game to generate buzz for the company."

"I'm busy building the Avengers, I don't have time."

Gwen didn't care whether he wanted to or not; she had already pressed the remote control.

The television screen in front of me suddenly lit up, and the first program that appeared was "Rising Star," a superhero talent show.

On TV, a young Black man wearing sunglasses had just finished performing a talent show and was introducing himself.

"My name is Sam Wilson, a retired Air Force Parachute Rescue Team special operations member..."

Roger glanced at the television program.

He was happy.

Isn't that the locomotive captain?
Roger remembered that this guy was Falcon from the Avengers in the original comics, who later became the second Captain America.

At this moment, during the show, Steve presses the turn button, and the Stars and Stripes backdrop behind him lights up.

He gave Sam a thumbs up and praised him highly: "If I ever retire, you will be the most suitable successor."

Roger smiled when he saw this.

These two really hit it off.

He casually pointed at the TV and said to Gwen, "Bring this black guy in, get him a high-tech wingsuit, stuff him with some micro missiles, package him as a second or third-tier hero, and call him Falcon."

Gwen's eyes widened in surprise. "So hasty? Shouldn't we go through some procedures?"

Roger waved his hand: "Just a low-level hero, you can just give him a makeover."

As they were talking, the stage lights changed, and the next contestant came on stage.

Roger looked closely and recognized the face.

It turned out to be Harry Osborn, the young master of the Osborn Group.

Harry didn't just appear on stage casually.

He flew up on a hoverboard, wearing a set of expensive high-tech equipment.

Roger stopped Gwen, who was about to leave, and said, "And this rich, foolish kid, recruit him too, call him Green Goblin."

Gwen was stunned: "Hasn't he performed yet?"

Roger waved his hand. "If I say it's okay, then it's okay. I own Vought Corporation."

Gwen stormed off.

Just then, Roger's phone rang.

Looking at the caller ID, it was Director Baldy calling.

After the call connected, Nick Fury's voice, filled with gritted teeth, came through.

"Roger, you win this time!"

"I agree to hand over Patton and Natasha to you."

"And Dr. Banner."
