American comics: Starting with replicating Superman's talent

Chapter 346 Tony Stark in Action

*Smack!*

With leather restraints around his wrists, Tony Stark was bound hand and foot to the chair. His head was tilted back, his eyes glazed over. If he had drooled a little more, it would have been hard not to associate this with something inappropriate for children.

Inside the underground base of the Luther Chemical Plant, Tony felt as if every cell in his body was screaming in agony.

Yes, just thirty minutes ago, Tony was approached by Gino, who stopped him from communicating with Lex and instead took him to a laboratory full of researchers.

then,

Then he was strapped to a chair by a group of professionals.

Moreover, judging from the skill level of these people, they have done this many times.

Even Tony himself wouldn't believe that he wasn't afraid because he was someone like Tony Stark.

To be honest, he was terrified.

Especially after arriving at the headquarters of this self-proclaimed god.

If the other party harbors malicious intentions or plans to blackmail him into doing something, he has absolutely no power to resist.

It wasn't that Tony didn't trust Gino, but rather that his insecurity led to these wild thoughts.

People are all like that; they always like to think about all sorts of random things.

But it didn't give Tony much time to think about it.

As the cold metal needle pierced Tony's neck, a stream of icy liquid spread throughout his body along with his blood vessels.

Then, just like in the Eastern fantasy novels Tony had read, he felt his body filled with power, and his originally thin and small stature grew taller under the effect of the potion.

If I had to use one adjective to describe how I feel right now, it would be: magical.

When the intense pain subsided, Tony stood up and found that he had not only grown taller, but his limbs had also become stronger and more robust.

Simply put, he went from an ordinary billionaire to a domineering CEO with eight-pack abs, an image that only exists in romance novels.

"This feels amazing!"

Tony was behaving like a monkey jumping around.

The man waved his arms, sometimes touching his eight-pack abs, sometimes squatting down to do push-ups, and the result was far beyond his expectations.

How should I put it?

Extremely strong, unbelievably strong!

In the past, I would be out of breath after doing 50 push-ups, but now I can do 100 without feeling tired at all.

"The Super Soldier Serum can not only enhance your strength, but also your reflexes." Gino leaned against the wall, looking Tony over, and explained the effects of the injection to him.

"So, like Captain America?" Tony raised an eyebrow, then quickly shook his head. "Forget it, I don't want to be that kind of old-fashioned relic."

Someone like Tony, who experienced the hippie culture after World War II, wouldn't believe Captain America's constant talk of justice; it's too pretentious and affected.

"Stop reminiscing, you should go back."

Gino interrupted Tony's complaints, and the boy walked up to Tony with a smile, saying, "With the enhancement from the Super Soldier Serum, dealing with a few kidnappers shouldn't be a problem."

As he spoke, Gino clapped his hands, signaling a staff member to bring over a silver shield.

"This is a shield made from a mysterious metal from my universe, which has the ability to efficiently absorb and release kinetic energy."

Gino continued confidently, "And you're a physicist, so you should be quite good at geometry."

"With this shield and your strength, you can throw it like a boomerang and have it return."

"Wow, is that even possible?"

Hearing Gino's explanation, Tony was shocked, and even his initially disdainful gaze softened the moment he placed it on the shield.

"Sounds very practical?"

"Of course, would I lie to you?" Gino chuckled, tapping the wall lightly as he spoke. "And now, it's time for you to go back."

Outside the cave.

"An hour has passed, Muhod, why is there still no movement?"

The two kidnappers, their heads wrapped in scarves, looked at each other, their eyes meeting, and quickly reached a consensus: they wanted to go inside and take a look.

They stood up, brushed the dust off their trousers, gripped the gun handle tightly in their hands, and walked into the dimly lit cave one after the other.

"Ethan? Are you guys there?"

The two instinctively called out to the medical doctor, mainly because if they called him Tony, he wouldn't understand what they were saying.

There was a deathly silence; there was no response. Only the voices of the two echoed in the vast cave.

"What happened? Did they run away?"

"That's impossible. There's only one exit here. They couldn't possibly have dug a tunnel out, could they?"

The two men were having a heated discussion, but neither of them believed that Tony and Ethan, those two useless scientists, could escape from their surveillance.

"Swoosh~"

A sound like something rubbing together was heard, and the two kidnappers instantly raised their AKs.

"Who's there!"

They were on high alert and ready for action.

then.

Swish!

A blur streaked through the air, carrying with it a howling wind. The iron edge of the shield slammed into a man's cheek, tearing his skin and splattering blood. The man let out a piercing scream.

boom!

The shield slammed against the wall, then flew back at an odd yet logical angle back in the direction from which it had come.

At the same time, another kidnapper heard Tony's voice: "So Gino was telling the truth!"

"The shield really can bounce back!"

At that moment, Tony Stark emerged from the shadows, his face beaming with excitement.

He looked down at the shield in his hand, his expression indescribably strange.

"asshole!"

Upon seeing the towering figure, nearly 1.8 meters tall, appear in the cave, the surviving kidnapper no longer hesitated, raising his AK47 and pulling the trigger at Tony's location.

"Shit!"

As a native-born American of the Plain White Banner, Tony naturally possesses a sensitivity to firearms.

Instinctively, he raised his shield to protect his body and rolled on the ground, easily dodging the bullets with his speed.

"Wow, I'm that strong?"

Tony was a little confused, but he quickly realized what was happening and threw his shield, hitting another kidnapper on the head.

There was no suspense at all. The kidnapper's head wasn't made of diamond. Under the impact of hundreds of kilograms of force, the poor guy's head exploded instantly, leaving only a headless corpse convulsing in a pool of blood.

Then, Tony instinctively reached out and caught the shield, but after seeing the crimson blood on the shield and the convulsing, mangled corpse on the ground...

Pfft!

With his knees on the ground, Tony was retching in a disheveled state.

He only intended to knock the man unconscious with his shield, but he ended up blowing the man's head off!

"This kind of thing happens very often."

After the battle ended, Dr. Ethan emerged from the corner and patted Tony on the shoulder reassuringly: "The most important thing now is to get out of here."
