Marvel: Starting with the forced creation of villainous characters

Chapter 97 The villain dies from talking too much.

Upon hearing this, Eric gave Mark a deep look.

The guy in front of me is no longer hiding his ambition.

However, Eric thought it was a good thing. As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend, and the U.S. government has always been the enemy of mutants.

Now that there is a stronger and more terrifying being willing to be his enemy, Eric is happy to see it, so he gave up the idea of ​​killing those two people.

He trusted Mark not because he trusted Mark's credibility, but because he believed Mark would not aid the enemy.

The battle over there has reached a fever pitch.

Iron Man's armor has begun to show extensive damage, but Ivan Vanko's Whiplash armor's energy whip is still very powerful.

Seeing Iron Man being beaten, Eric asked, "Should we intervene?"

"Wait a little longer." Mark pressed down on Eric, who was about to make a move.

He wanted to try it out, or more precisely, to verify whether the protagonist's halo actually worked in this world.

If Iron Man were to actually be killed by Whiplash here, it would prove that the protagonist's halo doesn't exist in this world. As for what happens when Iron Man dies? Well, he'll just have to loot the bag with tears in his eyes, of course.

Although he admired Iron Man when he was a viewer, now that they were in the same world and he was a major villain.

In this situation, it's already a sign of his kindness that he didn't kill Iron Man on his own initiative, so how could he possibly let Iron Man be killed by someone else?

Eric nodded and said nothing more.

After all, he didn't know Iron Man, so he naturally didn't care whether Iron Man would be killed.

At this moment, Iron Man's armor had been torn to shreds, and Whiplash was almost one step away from completing his revenge. But then, the villain's common flaw kicked in.

Ivan Vanko stood with one foot on Iron Man, looking smugly at the disheveled Tony.

"Look at yourself now? Arrogant Stark, did you ever imagine you'd end up like this?" Ivan Vanko mocked condescendingly.

Tony, pinned to the ground, glared angrily at Ivan Vanko, his mind racing as he tried to figure out how to escape. Even though he was being trampled underfoot, Tony hadn't given up hope.

Facing Tony's angry gaze, Ivan Vanko sneered, "Don't look at me like that. This is something your Stark family owes me."

"Go ahead and kill me if you dare!" Tony retorted defiantly.

Ivan Vanko said, "Of course you're going to die today, but before you die, I have a question for you."

Tony, of course, couldn't answer. He was more than happy to cause trouble for the other party before he died, so he chose to be stubborn.

"Today, a strange force controlled my steel soldiers. Was that an outside help you invited?" Ivan Vanko asked.

"This secret—" Tony deliberately moved his lips.

Ivan Vanko, who hadn't heard clearly, frowned and then opened the visor of his armor.

Ivan Vanko asked, "What did you just say?"

"I said—you shouldn't have opened the helmet of your armor." Tony said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Ivan Vanko's expression changed. Just as he was about to put on his helmet and mask, a peculiar sound wave instantly froze him, causing him to fall straight to the ground.

Tony got up from the ground, then pointed to the infrasonic stun gun on his arm and proudly introduced it: "Infrasonic stun gun, a little gadget I invented, but sometimes small things can play a bigger role in critical moments, like now."

"you----"

Ivan Vanko stared at Tony with eyes that seemed to be spitting fire.

I was careless and actually let this despicable person succeed in their plot.

"Despicable Stark!"

Ivan Vanko expressed his anger and resentment with a resentful look.

"You probably don't watch movies often. If you did, you should know that villains die from talking too much," Tony said, while groping Ivan Vanko.

In just two minutes, Tony had removed the whiplash armor from Ivan Vanko's body.

"Congratulations, you're going back in to pick up the soap again, but this time, you definitely won't be coming out alive," Tony sneered.

Instead of handing Ivan Vanko over to the police, he decided to throw him into his own private prison, which was originally intended for his dear uncle and could now be put to good use.

Ivan Vanko, his body stiff, couldn't even activate the self-destruct system of his armor. He closed his eyes in despair.

He had lost again. Victory was so close, so very close. If only he hadn't wasted his breath on him, if only he had made his move sooner... But there's no going back. Ivan Vanko closed his eyes in anguish. He thought of that man, older than himself...

A woman who is a few years older than herself.

"If I were locked up, would she be sad? She should have had an abortion by now, right? The Vanke family's story has finally come to an end with me."

Perhaps it was the despair brought on by failure that gave Ivan Vanko a sense of profound enlightenment at this moment.

If he could do it all over again, he might take revenge in a gentler way and also give her and her child enough wealth to live a stable life.

Unfortunately, he found out too late.

The revenge failed.

The child is gone too.

The Vanke family's story ended with him.

Just as Tony was about to leave with Ivan Vanko, Mark, who was hiding in the shadows, knew it was time for him to make his appearance.

"Let's go, Magneto, let's go meet this Iron Man," Mark said.

Upon hearing this, Magneto nodded, then controlled the metal beneath his feet, carrying the two of them towards Tony, who was preparing to leave.

"Mr. Stark, could you leave this man to me?" Mark called out to Tony, who was about to leave.

Tony, seeing Mark and Magneto suddenly appear, asked warily, "What do you want?"

Magneto said coldly, "Shouldn't you have thanked me?"

"I really appreciate what you did at the expo," Tony nodded in acknowledgment.

If Magneto hadn't intervened, Pepper Potts would likely have been hurt, so she was genuinely grateful to him.

"No need for thanks, just hand Ivan Vanko over to me," Mark said, pointing to Ivan Vanko whom he was carrying.

Tony refused without hesitation, saying, "That won't do. I'll have to send him to trial."

Ivan Vanko can die, or go to prison, but he absolutely cannot be handed over to anyone else, because the technology in Ivan Vanko's mind is too deadly to him.

Mark, unperturbed by the rejection, said meaningfully, "That's not up to you."

After Mark finished speaking, he nodded to Magneto beside him.

Magneto instantly understood and took control of Tony's Iron Man suit. With a flick of his right hand, Ivan Vanko was released from his grasp and floated in front of the two of them.

Tony, who was standing in place as punishment, looked at the two of them with a mixture of frustration and anger.

"Those two bastards were definitely watching the show from the sidelines. Their timing was perfect," Tony thought to himself, annoyed.

"The Arc Reactor will not affect the interests of the Stark Corporation, at least not for civilian purposes; this is a concession by the Illuminati."

"We hope you will cherish the gifts that the Illuminati has given you, and the Illuminati looks forward to your joining us."

After making a few pretentious remarks, Mark and Magneto left the scene with Ivan Vanko as their trophy.

Having experienced this failed revenge, Ivan Vanko should be able to resolve his inner conflict and know how to seek revenge.

Mark was happy to see the hatred burning in Ivan Vanko's heart; as long as Ivan Vanko was willing to take revenge in the right way, hatred was a pretty good fuel.

Upon returning to New York, Magneto asked directly, "Is my mission complete?"

Mark nodded: "Yes, you've completed your mandatory tasks for this year."

"Then I'll be leaving now." Magneto didn't want to linger in New York because he had more important things to do.

Mark didn't try to stop the other person, but watched them leave.

Now only he and the frozen Ivan Vanko remained in the same spot.

After bringing Ivan Vanko to the basement of Hell's Kitchen, Mark sat down in front of him.

At this moment, Ivan Vanko had regained some mobility.

Knowing that Mark had pulled him back from the brink of hell, Ivan Vanko asked earnestly, "What do you want me to do?"

Mark hadn't expected the other party to ask so bluntly. Since they were being so direct, Mark decided not to hide anything and said directly, "Become a member of the Shadow Touch and serve me."

"And what benefit would I get?" Ivan Vanko asked.

Mark said, "If you're obedient enough, your wife and children will be fine, and you'll earn the right to go up against Stark Industries."

Upon hearing this, Ivan Vanko's expression changed.

"What did you do to them?" Ivan Vanko asked excitedly.

"They're fine. That woman didn't listen to you; she plans to give birth to the child alone and raise it herself."

Upon hearing that the woman actually intended to give birth to the child, he felt both relieved and angry, but mostly overjoyed.

The Vanke family has an heir!

Moreover, he wasn't arrested, so he can pass on all his knowledge to his children. Even if he loses, his children can continue to avenge the Vanke family.

Thinking of this, Ivan Vanko almost burst out laughing.

As for the other party threatening him with his wife and children?

Ivan Vanko didn't care. After all, he often did this kind of thing in Russia. As a debt collector for a gang, he had done almost anything he could to get debtors to pay back their money.

"You will become the chief engineer of Hammer Corporation. Hammer Industries can help you take down Stark Industries. True revenge is not about killing someone, but about making them suffer the pain that you and your father endured."

Mark whispered enticingly to Ivan Vanko, who remained silent with his head bowed.

"Hehe~ Hahahahaha————"

Ivan Vanko suddenly burst into a nervous laugh. Mark, seeing this, didn't say anything, but just stared coldly at Ivan Vanko.

After his laughter subsided, Ivan Vanko's expression instantly changed. He retorted expressionlessly, "I had no choice, did I?"

Mark said coldly, "You can also choose to die."

"You're much more interesting than Justin Hammer. I agree. Please take care of me from now on, Boss!" Ivan Vanko trembled.

He shakily extended his right hand.

Although his body was no longer stiff, the aftereffects of the electric shock remained; in addition to occasional twitching, his legs and hands were constantly trembling slightly.

"Go back to Hammer Corporation. Starting today, his daughter will be your superior. That idiot Justin Hammer has already retired early." After Mark finished speaking, he dismissed the clone.

Seeing Mark suddenly disappear, Ivan Vanko's pupils contracted. Then, as if realizing something, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he muttered to himself mockingly, "Tony, our game has only just begun!"

Meanwhile, at Mark's estate.

Sharon Carter looked at Mark suspiciously and probed, "Did you already know something would go wrong at the expo?"

Mark rolled his eyes at the other person and retorted, "Do you think that's possible? I'm not a magician who can predict the future."

"Didn't you receive any prior intelligence? Like reports from the Shadow Touch?"

"No, I only know that Ivan Vanko has a child, but I don't know if it's a boy or a girl."

"That's strange. Ivan Vanko already has children, so why is he still acting so crazy?" Sharon Carter muttered in bewilderment.

She agreed to Mark's plan in the hope that she could use the child to keep Ivan Vanko in place and help him settle down in America.

After all, the United States is a country of immigrants, and Ivan Vanko is a top talent. The plan is beneficial for keeping Ivan Vanko in the United States.

But she didn't expect Ivan Vanko to be so crazy.

Fortunately, Ivan Vanko did not escalate the situation too much, and even ordinary people were unaware that Ivan Vanko was behind the unrest.

If it weren't for the Black Widow reporting to S.H.I.E.L.D., she might have been kept in the dark.

Seeing that Mark was still being stubborn, Sharon Carter continued, "But Tony said that Ivan Vanko was taken away by the Illuminati."

"Then do you know who from the Illuminati took them away?" Mark countered.

"Tony said one of them is called Magneto, and we don't know who the other one is," Sharon Carter explained.

"Then the other one must be Professor X," Mark said confidently, unhesitatingly pinning the blame on Professor X.

Upon hearing this, Sharon Carter jumped to her feet.

Why would the mutant resurgence cause a top scientist to capture someone?

and many more.

Sharon Carter suddenly realized the key point.

"When will Magneto and Professor X join the Illuminati?" Sharon Carter asked sharply.

"That's a secret," Mark replied, feigning mystery.

Upon hearing this, Sharon Carter opened her mouth as if to say something, but then stopped herself.

Sharon Carter never expected this day to come so soon; before, she could keep hypnotizing herself into believing that Mark was always under her control.

But now, Sharon Carter knows that Mark has long since lost control and has become involved with mutants.

Sharon Carter sighed and advised, "You should know the government's attitude towards mutants. You shouldn't get involved with them."

Mark explained in a businesslike tone, "Those who can join the Illuminati are either the most powerful people on Planet Transylvania, the strongest, or the smartest."

"Magneto and Professor X are exceptional individuals among humans; they are qualified to join, and mutants are originally human."
