The mechanical craze in Marvel

These Ultron robots put them under immense pressure.
Fortunately, the problem has now been resolved.
"Nolan, thanks to you this time."
Tony Stark walked up to Nolan and spoke with lingering fear.
Nolan laughed:
"We can only say that we are very lucky. Ultron wanted to destroy humanity, but it was determined to become human."
"Yes."
Tony Stark laughed too.
Ultron's attempt to become human was, rationally speaking, foolish.
But on second thought, it's completely understandable.
Ultron longed to become human.
"However, although the problem is solved, you're probably in big trouble now."
Tony Stark glanced at Nolan.
"No, you're mistaken. We're the ones in big trouble."
Nolan remained relaxed.
He knew Tony Stark was referring to these robots.
But so what.
Let's talk about what happened next.
It's not just his problem.
The Ultron robot was created by Tony Stark and Bruce Banner.
Although the problem was solved, the biggest trouble was the loss caused by the Ultron robot, compared to the long-term consequences Nolan faced.
So Tony Stark nodded helplessly.
Nolan is right, they are in big trouble.
Natasha walked over and said to the two of them:
"Gentlemen, Chief Fury would like to speak with you."
Nolan chuckled and said:
"It seems you now represent the interests of S.H.I.E.L.D."
Natasha did not refute.
Tony Stark frowned slightly.
This is what he was dissatisfied with regarding the Avengers.
He knew he had made a huge mistake, but the Avengers shouldn't have a traitor among them.
Or rather, no one likes having a traitor among their comrades.
Nolan began:
"Sorry, I need to go back and rest. After fighting for so long, Locke Technology still has a lot of things to take care of."
Nick Fury?
Who are you!
Want to talk?
Then let's come over and talk.
Nolan's dismissive expression drew a look of displeasure from Natasha.
In her view, Nolan Locke, now that he's been found to have included such a dangerous backdoor system in the robots he sells, should be trembling with fear as he tries to explain himself.
But it's clear that Nolan Locke doesn't seem to have that kind of awareness at all.
Tony Stark also glanced at Nolan.
Nolan's answer was also unexpected.
Nolan said to Tony Stark with a hint of deeper meaning:
"Tony, don't you need to make some preparations?"
Tony Stark also realized what was happening, a look of conflict on his face, and then said:
"You're right, I should make some preparations too."
Ignoring Natasha, Nolan began dealing with the losses on his own.
Those recruited robots obviously can't be paid for by customers; it will probably cost a lot of money, not to mention the battle at Kamar-Taj.
In just a few days, Locke Technology suffered enormous losses.
However, the most troublesome thing is certainly not these economic losses.
Public opinion is the real problem he needs to face.
Even though he didn't respond to Natasha, it has to be said that the problems he faces now are indeed very serious.
For a businessman, his reputation in the eyes of the people is of utmost importance.
Public relations efforts began quickly, with the entire public relations department of Locke Technology operating at full capacity.
Although the problem was troublesome, Nolan wasn't too worried.
Public opinion is the easiest thing to manipulate.
He did indeed use a special mobilization order, but the existence of this order was itself created for the sake of public opinion.
His backdoor is more than just a simple instruction.
If pushed too far, he could really forcibly requisition all the Locke robots on Earth.
But with the robot's owner's consent, the situation becomes fundamentally different.
Despite the surging outrage and protests that erupted around the world, Nolan remained unmoved.
Various public relations tactics were unleashed under the Red Queen's control. While the effects appeared slow, the daily data consistently demonstrated the effectiveness of his actions.
The White House has finally taken some action.
Over the past few days, meetings have been held one after another. This is true not only at the White House, but also at the Security Council.
The discussion wasn't just about Lockheed Martin, but also about Tony Stark and other superheroes.
These superheroes pose such a significant threat that a previously shelved bill has been brought back to the table.
"We need to put limits on superheroes."
One of the council members spoke up.
"The existence of those superheroes has seriously threatened the world's security, and many of them are even unknown to us. If these people intend to do something, how should we deal with it?"
"That's right, superheroes must be restricted. They can't use their abilities so recklessly. The Superpower Restriction Act must be activated this time!"
Upon hearing the words "superpower restriction bill," many people showed expressions of excitement.
"But... what if they don't cooperate?"
One council member hesitated.
These superheroes have incredibly powerful abilities, and if they don't cooperate, they'll definitely cause a lot of trouble.
Upon hearing objections, the council member who had previously made the suggestion turned angry.
"Disagree? Then let's fight!"
Kick them out of the superhero ranks, blacklist them, and use every means to restrict their movements! No one can act with such impunity.
Some people hesitated, while others nodded in agreement without hesitation.
However, no one objected, and no one will object.
Even if the superpowers belong to these superheroes, how they are used is a matter for all of humanity!
As more and more people agreed, the director who had made the suggestion earlier smiled almost imperceptibly.
Nolan Locke...
No one can stop Hydra from ruling the world.
He personally gave the order for S.H.I.E.L.D. to launch a nuclear missile, and the missile performed as intended.
But this time, no one can save Lockheed Martin!
A flicker of fervor flashed in his eyes, but it was quickly masked.
Silly Pierce.
Finally, the chairman spoke:
"The proposal passed with 93% of the votes. Next, we will draft the specifics of the Sokovia Agreement!"
Stark Industries.
Tony Stark and Nolan sat together.
Bruce Banner and Hank Pym were also with them.
This was an internal meeting of the Watchers.
"The dangers of superhuman strength are too great."
Tony Stark spoke.
This problem was caused by Ultron, which he and Bruce Banner developed.
Hank Pym frowned.
"But humanity needs great power. We don't know the source of this problem, but it's not your fault. At least, we can't deny the importance of 'ability' to humanity because of this."
"Perhaps... abilities should be limited."
