American comics: Starting as the Jinchūriki of the One-Tailed Beast

Looking at Obadiah, whose body had been blown to pieces in mid-air, Tony felt a mix of emotions.

He had considered that Roy would win.

But he didn't expect Roy to win so easily.

Obadiah, wearing the Iron Monger armor, pinned him to the ground and gave him a sound beating.

However, Obadiah was completely powerless against Roy.

Especially Roy's final Giant Rasengan.

Obadiah's Iron Monger armor didn't quite suit his aesthetic.

However, one thing must be acknowledged: the Iron Monger's armor offers far superior defensive capabilities compared to the Mark III.

This also means that the Mark III is even less likely to withstand the attack of the Giant Rasengan.

Having calmed himself down a bit, Tony piloted the Mark III to Roy's side and asked, "What was that blue energy ball you just created?"

"Otama Rasengan."

Roy replied.

Dayama spiral pill?

Tony frowned slightly and continued, "That's a rather unique name. Does it have any special meaning?"

Roy shook his head and said calmly, "It doesn't have any special meaning; it's just the name of a move."

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Do you need me to take you back to the villa, or will you fly back yourself?"

Without any hesitation, Tony immediately replied, "Take me back. I've never experienced teleportation before."

"it is good."

Roy nodded and grabbed Tony's left shoulder.

Flying Thunder God Technique!

The next second, he and Tony disappeared at the same time, instantly returning to the studio of the seaside villa.

Is that all?

Tony had originally wanted Jarvis to record the data from the teleportation.

Before they could even say a word, they were back in the studio.

"Does your teleportation ability even have an extra name?"

Tony activated the visor of his helmet and began questioning Roy.

"have."

"Call it the Flying Thunder God Technique."

Roy replied calmly.

Is it the Flying Thunder God Technique?

After memorizing the names of the Flying Thunder God Technique and the Giant Rasengan, Tony removed his helmet and continued, "Your strength is much greater than I imagined. I thought you would fight Obadiah for a long time before you could defeat him."

"I didn't expect you to take him down with just one move."

Roy laughed and said, "Alright, stop beating around the bush, just say what you want to say."

Although he hadn't had much contact with Tony, he knew Tony's personality very well.

Tony doesn't praise others without a reason.

In other words, Tony definitely had other motives.

"Since you've put it that way, I won't beat around the bush with you anymore."

"I'd like to know, why did you want the Mark III in the first place?"

"For others, wearing the Mark III can greatly enhance their combat capabilities."

"But it's clear you don't need the Mark III to enhance your combat capabilities."

"If I'm not mistaken, wearing the Mark III will actually affect your performance."

Tony looked at Roy with a serious expression and quickly said.

"You guessed right, wearing the Mark III does affect my ability to perform at my best."

"As for why I want the Mark III, the reason is simple."

"I like to collect things that interest me."

Roy replied calmly.

Although he wouldn't fight in the Mark III, he wouldn't mind collecting a set of Mark III armor.

Iron Man suits are a man's romance!

What's more, this is an original, authentic, articulated, and wearable Iron Man Mark 3 classic edition figure, handcrafted by Tony Stark himself!

Even if you never use it, just keeping it as a collectible can bring you joy.

"Just for collecting?"

Tony's expression turned somewhat grim, and he became rather depressed, beginning to regret asking Roy.

"It's mainly for collecting."

"Of course, I might try them on sometime."

Roy replied.

Upon hearing that he even wanted to try on the Mark III for himself, Tony's expression and mood improved considerably.

The Mark III is his most satisfying work to date!

If Roy only appreciates the Mark III as a collectible, it would make him feel like his prized creation is being underestimated.

"Since you also want to try them on, I'll grant your wish and give you a set."

Tony stood tall and raised his eyebrows.

"good!"

Roy, of course, wouldn't refuse and nodded.

……

The next morning.

Stark Industries headquarters building.

Tony's office.

Tony was holding the latest newspaper; the headline read, "Who is Iron Man?"

Pepper stood in front of him and helped him apply makeup to cover the scars on his face.

Obadiah's beating didn't kill Tony, but it did leave some bruises on his face.

Roy sat on the sofa in the reception area, casually watching the TV on the wall.

The television is broadcasting live the latest press conference being held in the lobby on the first floor.

Wearing a military uniform, Rod stood behind the podium, reading his speech with a serious expression.

"A statement regarding what happened at Stark Industries last night has been released and delivered to you."

"Witnesses claim that the first two Iron Warriors to appear fought their way from the Stark Industries factory to the streets outside."

"The superpowered individuals who appeared later were Tony Stark's secret bodyguards..."

Tony ignored Rhodes's remarks and said to Pepper, "Iron Man is a pretty good codename, but it's a bit inaccurate. Mark III is made of gold-titanium alloy."

"However, the nickname Iron Man is quite fitting."

After saying that, without waiting for Pepper's reply, he looked at Roy and asked, "Do you have a code name too?"

"have."

Roy replied.

"What's your code name?"

Tony continued to ask.

"The Fourth Hokage!"

Roy spoke slowly.

"The title 'Fourth Hokage' doesn't sound as good as 'Iron Man'."

Tony looked at Roy with a serious expression.

Just then, Coulson, dressed in a black suit and with a high hairline, known as the "Village Chief of Marvel's Newbie Village," entered the office, went straight to Tony, and slowly said, "This is your speech."

Tony did not reach out to take the speech draft that Coulson handed him.

Pepper took the speech from Coulson and handed it to Tony.

"You weren't in Los Angeles last night, you were on a yacht."

"Miss Potts took you to Avalon Island for one night, and we have the testimony of 50 witnesses."

Coulson continued.

As Tony glanced through the prepared statement from S.H.I.E.L.D., he said, "I think it would be better to say that it was just Pepper and me alone for one night."

"We've taken care of everything. Just read from the prepared statement," Coulson replied.

"Why aren't Obadiah and Roy mentioned here?"

Tony looked at Coulson and asked, puzzled.

"Obadiah is on vacation. The accident rate for small planes has always been high..."

At this point, Coulson paused, turned and pointed at Roy, and continued, "As for Roy, you'll have to ask him for his opinion."

"I know S.H.I.E.L.D. wouldn't dare offend him, but I didn't expect you wouldn't even dare to arrange a statement for him. You are an official government agency."

Tony joked with Coulson.

"It's not a matter of whether we dare to or not. Roy didn't authorize us to arrange the statement for him, and we can't arrange it for him on our own."

Coulson ignored Tony's teasing and quickly replied.

Tony shrugged and said to Roy, "What are you planning to do?"

"Just tell me I'm your temporary secret bodyguard."

"As for his specific identity, I cannot disclose that."

Roy said slowly and deliberately.

"Okay, we'll do it your way."

"One of my bodyguards got his hands on a high-tech steel armor set, and the other bodyguard is a superhuman."

"Although it seems absurd, this is Los Angeles, and it's normal for it to resemble a movie script."

Tony said slowly.

"Whether it's like a movie script or not doesn't matter. What matters is that you just read the statement, and the matter will be resolved."

"He'll be on the field in one and a half minutes."

After saying that, Coulson left the office.

Pepper picked up Tony's coat and said to Tony, "It's time to go on stage."

"To be honest, Iron Man is actually a pretty good nickname. I never thought of using it."

Tony put on his coat with Pepper's help.

"Aren't you Iron Man?"

"I am."

"You are not."

"Fine, whatever you want."

Tony gave up arguing with Pepper and changed the subject, "If I were Iron Man, my girlfriend would be both happy and worried when she found out my identity, and sooner or later she would experience physical discomfort."

"However, this complex internal struggle will only make her love me more."

Before Pepper could answer, Roy's voice rang out.

"I'm still here. Can't you find another place to flirt?"

Don't you have a girlfriend?

Tony said with a smile.

Roy didn't answer, but said to Pepper, "Let him go to the press conference, Rod is running out of things to say."

Pepper nodded, gesturing for Tony to proceed to the lobby on the first floor for the press conference.

As for her, she stayed in the office with Roy to watch the live stream.

First floor lobby.

Seeing Tony come down from the office, Rod breathed a sigh of relief and said to the reporters below the stage, "Now, Mr. Stark will release a statement regarding last night's events. He will not answer any questions from reporters, thank you."

After he finished speaking, he stepped aside and gave the podium to Tony.

"It's been a long time since the last press conference... Oh well, I'll just read from the script."

Tony pulled out the prepared speech from S.H.I.E.L.D. in his pocket.

"Some people suspect I was involved in last night's battle..."

He only said one sentence before Christine, a blonde, blue-eyed female reporter wearing a gray women's suit, interrupted him.

"Excuse me for interrupting, Mr. Stark, do you really think we'd believe that the person in the Iron Man armor last night wasn't you, but your bodyguard?"

Tony looked at Christine in the audience and quickly said, "I know this sounds unbelievable, and you can certainly question the official statement, but you can't make baseless accusations and insinuate that I'm a superhero."

"I didn't say you were a superhero!"

"Compared to you, the superhero with the white animal mask last night is more in line with people's imagination of a superhero."

Christine said quickly.

"No? That does sound too sci-fi. I'm not superhero material. I have many personality flaws and have caused a lot of trouble for everyone..."

Seeing Tony begin to improvise, Rod quickly came to his side and whispered, "Read from the script."

"it is good."

Tony took a deep breath, picked up the manuscript again, and began, "The truth about last night is..."

After thinking for a few seconds, he uttered the famous line that officially kicked off the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

"I am Iron Man."

As soon as he finished speaking, reporters in the lobby stood up to ask questions, and flashbulbs went off like crazy, making the scene incredibly lively.
