American comics: Starting with replicating Superman's talent

What did Chapter 344 bring me?

Gino Luther was somewhat curious.

This being, whom Dr. Ethan considered like a god, was just a moment ago enjoying milk and Fiona's massage in his own castle, when he suddenly heard someone calling his name and chanting some particularly shameful prayer.

Driven by curiosity, Gino easily crossed dimensions and arrived at this space with a single thought.

Then he saw Mr. Tony Stark kneeling on the ground, tears streaming down his face.

However, compared to Tony's previous high spirits, Tony is now trapped in a cave, having his head forced into a water tank, being electrocuted, and whipped, making him look extremely miserable.

Like a starving traveler, or a madman who escaped from a mental hospital, the moment Tony saw Gino, the tears that had been welling up in his eyes burst forth!

"Mr. Gino!" Tony hugged Gino's leg like a child who had found a protector.

"Help me! Help me!"

Tony sobbed, unable to imagine how he had managed to get through this time. He not only had a reason to live, but also the motivation to teach those kidnappers a lesson.

"Alright, Tony." Gino said with a hint of exasperation, but still tried to maintain a gentle tone as he patted Tony on the shoulder. "Everything will be alright, because I'm here."

"Aba aba." Not far away, Dr. Ethan looked blankly at Gino talking to Tony. At this moment, he started thinking three questions in his mind: Who am I? Where am I? What am I supposed to do?

A person appearing out of thin air violates the laws of physics, or perhaps aliens really do exist and the one responding to Tony's prayers is actually an alien.

But no matter how turbulent Dr. Ethan's mind was, Gino and Tony ignored him and made no attempt to explain.

"So, you're now locked in a cave, being held hostage by a group of terrorists to build a terrible weapon of destruction."

Gino's gaze swept around, his eyes, capable of seeing through all the illusions of the world, taking in Tony's current predicament.

Two kidnappers armed with AKs were stationed outside the cave, and not far away was the kidnappers' secret base, which was filled with all kinds of weapons and equipment. It was clear that although these kidnappers were poorly equipped, had a rudimentary base, and lacked proper training, they had big plans.

"That's about right."

After crying, Tony was clearly much more relaxed. He stood up and leaned against the wall, a helpless smile on his face: "I think I was betrayed."

"The itinerary was finalized through a collaboration between Stark Industries and the military, so it's impossible for ordinary people to know my whereabouts."

Tony pursed his lips.

He is now wondering who betrayed him.

But there was no clue, after all, the military might also be involved.

"So, Tony."

Gino snapped his fingers, and the rocks inside the surrounding caves deformed and reassembled, transforming into a dark rock chair.

The boy gently placed himself into the rock chair, and then clapped his hands again.

"Snapped!"

A glass of red wine landed in his hand. Gino savored the rich aroma, a smile playing on his lips as he looked at Tony and said, "Give me a reason to help you."

"What?" Tony was slightly taken aback. "Aren't we friends?"

"Please, my friend," Gino said with a hint of exasperation, shrugging. "This is the free United States, where friendship comes at a price."

Well, Tony had nothing to say in the face of Gino's explanation.

"So what do you want?"

"Money or..."

"Hmm, I haven't decided yet. Just consider it a favor you owe me."

Hearing Gino's answer, Li Tu's already unpleasant expression turned even more unpleasant.

If it's just a monetary transaction, that's fine; it's the debts of gratitude that are hardest to repay.

But just like cruel reality, it never changes according to human will; it simply sits there quietly, waiting to bite the unsuspecting.

"I agree."

Tony reluctantly raised his hand, just like a good student raising their hand to answer a question in class, but no one knew the helplessness in Tony's heart.

How can I escape if I don't agree?

Would you use your small frame to block the gun barrels of those vicious kidnappers?

"A wise choice, Tony."

Seeing that Tony had agreed, Gino smiled, stood up, and pointed to the wall beside him.

The flickering golden sparks, like welding, outlined a shimmering, gilded portal on the stone wall.

"Come with me."

Gino stepped in first, and Tony followed without hesitation.

At this moment, only Dr. Ethan remained in the vast cave.

"No." Ethan bit his lip. Were these two treating him like he didn't exist?

"Wait for me!"

Excitement overcame fear, and Ethan followed Tony into the portal.

It felt like being on a roller coaster, constantly bumping along.

It swayed back and forth like a hamster thrown into a washing machine.

After Ethan and Tony held hands and fought off the dizziness and nausea rising in their stomachs, the glaring light made them raise their hands to shield their eyes.

When the blinding light dissipated and the surrounding scenery came into view, it was then possible to see the whole picture clearly.

This is a vast, empty underground base, filled with the smell of disinfectant.

Scientists came and went in a hurry, each with a look of fervor on their face.

In the hall not far away, there was a large portrait of a bald young man, with a prominent sign below the portrait that read, "As long as you work hard, you will reap the rewards."

"My God."

Dr. Ethan tugged at Tony and pointed to the display case in the corner.

Inside the display case was a green suit of armor that looked incredibly high-tech.

Next to the armor were several mysterious objects.

A Rubik's Cube radiating a silver-blue light, and one after another, bizarre and varied corpses.

"A laboratory." Tony stroked his chin. As one of Marvel's top geniuses, he only needed to glance at it to tell that the laboratory's research projects included physics and biology, and that the scientists were making significant progress.

"Yes, it's my brother's lab." Gino didn't like coming here; he had never been interested in biological experiments.

As a melee mage, the tech side has always relied on the help of the Singer and Lex.

"But the person we're looking for isn't here."

Gino waved, signaling Tony and the other man to follow him.

After passing through a hall filled with various sophisticated instruments and past strange experimental data, the three finally arrived at a doorway.

"Bio-enhanced laboratory".

Dr. Ethan looked up and read the words on the door, while also wondering why Gino had brought them here.
