I was watching American comic book short videos, and at the beginning, Iron Man was breaking down.

Marvel Universe 199999?

Tony immediately noticed this crucial piece of information.

The matter is already obvious; this is undoubtedly the universe number of our own world, right?

"Marvel" definitely refers to the entire parallel universe that revolves around the Avengers.

For example, the main universe, which everyone has always regarded as a reference, as well as the zombie universe and the Illuminati universe, all belong to the Marvel universe.

The general frameworks of these universes are largely the same, but there may be some deviations in specific "character settings" and "story directions".

But they all belong to the same broad category.

There's no problem with that.

But what does "Marvel" mean?

Why would the big screen use this term to replace its own category of parallel universes?

Besides that, there's the number 199999.

The meaning of this number is quite easy to understand; it simply means the 199999th Marvel Universe.

In other words, there are at least 190,000 universes in the Marvel Cinematic Universe!

Tony wasn't too surprised by this, after all, parallel universes are endless.

Theoretically speaking, it wouldn't be strange if parallel universes numbered ten million or one hundred million appeared.

In contrast, what Playboy is more curious about is whether, besides his own 199999 universe, there are any other Marvel universes with online users?

"Marvel Universe 838?"

Tony made a discovery immediately.

There is also a universe called 838.

Moreover, I'm quite familiar with most of the users on the platform.

Stephen Strange, Peggy Carter, Charles Xavier, Reed Richards...

Good heavens, these are the members of the Illuminati.

Could this Marvel 838 universe be the "Illuminati universe"?

In addition, there are the TRN877 universe and the TRN414 universe.

There is only one person listed under the address TRN877: T'Challa.

"T'Challa?"

"Isn't that the prince of Wakanda?"

The playboy recalled the other person's identity within his universe.

But what his identity is in that TRN877 universe is really impossible to determine.

And why did the numbering system for this universe change?

What does the extra "TRN" mean?

As for the TRN414 universe, Tony took a look and immediately spotted some familiar faces.

Charles Xavier?

Isn't that Professor X?

Raven Darkholm?

This is undoubtedly Mystique!

Hank McCoy?

Beast!

This person appeared on the list of the smartest people, and Tony still has a very deep impression of him.

Isn't that the universe where mutants exist?

Tony and Nick Fury named this universe the "X-Men Universe".

Why did the big screen categorize it as part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe?

Could it be that there's some kind of Iron Man or Captain America in this world?

But that's not right.

There are actually quite a few spoilers about this universe, and based on these spoilers, the Avengers shouldn't exist in this universe.

So what exactly is going on with these two universes that have the letter TRN in their names?

The playboy fell into deep thought.

However, they were unable to come up with an answer or grasp the key points in a short period of time.

However, what puzzled Tony even more was Loki.

That's right, Loki.

"Loki?"

"He was chosen too?"

Playboy was quite surprised by this.

Based on past experience, those selected on the big screen are not necessarily good people, but at least they are "positive characters".

There has never been a "villain" before!

But what about Loki?

Although the big screen also revealed some of Loki's "positive deeds," such as being killed by Thanos while fighting against him.

But this did nothing to change Tony's impression of Loki.

This guy once tried to invade New York and launch an alien invasion war; he's definitely a villain!

How could someone like this gain favor with the big screen?

However, why is the address behind Loki just a Marvel Universe?

It doesn't even have a serial number?

What's going on here? Playboy is actually a little confused.

Does Marvel have another universe that doesn't have a number?

Although Tony felt this answer was a bit far-fetched, it was the only answer he could think of at the moment.

"Never mind, we can study this later."

Tony was eager to see if there were any other universes, so he didn't waste time on the one and only Loki for the time being.

I continued to examine it.

Don't tell me, it's true.

DC Extended Universe?

This must be the real universe where Batman and Superman exist, right?

They even use DC in their names?

It's quite a coincidence that it's a comic book company in this world.

But why is there an adjective extension?

In addition, there are universes like The Boys, Watchmen, Transformers, Jackie Chan Adventures, and Spider-Man.

and many more.

The Spider-Man universe, in particular, is further subdivided into Tobey Spider-Man, Garfield Spider-Man, and Ultimate Spider-Man.

These universes are just individual universes, without any specific designation.

As for some of the users, Tony looked at them and realized he didn't recognize most of them.

"Is that all?"

"That's it?"

After a quick scan of the user data and revenue from all the worlds, Tony was still quite surprised.

There are only these few?

This is simply not enough to satisfy Tony's appetite!

But then I thought again, well, who can truly explore and make contact with other universes?

You can even add friends to communicate and chat?

It's already incredibly difficult to have even one such opportunity, let alone so many.

So be content!

With that thought, Tony's slight dissatisfaction vanished instantly.

"So, what's next..."

"Let me try out the friend-adding feature!"

Tony clapped his hands, looking incredibly eager to try.

However, before he could add anyone else, the playboy noticed that he had received a notification to add someone.

I clicked on it and saw that it was Pepper Potts and her good friend Rod.

And Nick Fury and other members of S.H.I.E.L.D., or rather, the Avengers.

Playboy immediately approved Pepper Potts's friend request.

There was one more person in my friends list.

After clicking, you'll be taken to the chat interface, where you can send voice messages, text messages, and even video calls—it's exactly the same as any social media app.

"I thought something so amazing would offer something new."

Tony muttered a slight complaint and then chatted briefly with Pepper Potts.

It's worth mentioning that by this time, Pepper and Tony had already developed a romantic relationship.

This is exactly the same as the spoilers shown on the big screen.

As for his poor best buddy Rod?

They're still just good buddies, Tony hasn't given him any Iron Man armor yet.

Rhodes was just an ordinary Air Force lieutenant colonel, not a war machine.

"Tony, when are you going to equip me with a suit of armor like in other universes?"

After adding Rhodes, Rhodes started joking around with the playboy.

Believe me, that doesn't suit your style!

"Besides, I can't bear to see you become just a foil for me, don't you think?"

Having never experienced palladium poisoning and near-death, Playboy had no intention of sending out any Iron Man armor.

Even with your best friend.

"A supporting role?"

Rhodes objected, "My armor is far more formidable than yours, you can't deny that, can you?"

"Being powerful doesn't equate to being handsome, much less cool, and certainly not glamorous!"

"Iron Man is the real art! What you call 'powerful' is as old-fashioned as a country bumpkin next to Iron Man."

"Is that your assessment?"

"That's right!"

After ending the call with Rhodes, Tony added Nick Fury and everyone else in the Avengers to his contacts.

However, the first person he greeted was not anyone else, but Thor!

Without him.

Thor is on an alien planet.

"Thor, I am Stark!"

"Can you receive my messages?"

"I don't know if you know how to use this kind of messaging app. God, you really don't know how?"

Tony sent several messages to Thor in quick succession: "I've sent you a video call request. Just accept it."

"To be precise, you just need to think about it in your mind!"

Playboy felt that his last reminder must have played a crucial role, because Thor's figure soon appeared in the chat box.

Behind Thor are various classical-style buildings in Asgard.

"Who says I don't know how to use it? I've been to Midgard too, remember?"

Thor retorted, clearly unconvinced.

"Really? It seems you really know how to use it."

Tony's sharp tongue was on full display. "This is a remarkable achievement, at least for you, right?"

"Of course I'll use it."

Thor, whether oblivious to Tony's sarcasm or simply too excited to understand, exclaimed repeatedly, "This is truly amazing! I'm in Asgard, yet I can actually communicate with you in Midgard?"

Even his mother, Frigga's, magic couldn't accomplish something like this.

In all of Asgard, perhaps only Heimdall could have done this.

But now, this new feature on the big screen makes it easy to achieve this.

It's simply amazing.

"Thor, please give my regards to His Majesty the King of Gods."

"By the way, given your father's status as king, would he accept my friend request?"

"By the way, he'll definitely be able to see this big screen, right?"

After exchanging a few casual words, Tony suddenly decided to confirm with Thor.

I'm chat friends with Odin, the king of gods!

Damn, just thinking about this kind of thing is exciting.

"What are you thinking about?"

Thor immediately looked at him with disdain, "My father, as the ruler of the Nine Realms, is extremely busy and has no time for idle chatter!"

What kind of person is Odin, the king of gods?

How could you just add it casually?

You must be dreaming.

The fact that Thor was included is already a blessing for the mortals of Midgard!

"I thought we were friends."

"Not even friends!"

Chris Hemsworth's stance remains very firm.

"Whether it works or not is not up to you. I have already sent an application to your father to add you."

Playboy ignored Thor and quickly added Odin, the king of gods, and Frigga, the queen of gods.

As expected, there was no reaction at all.

People of this status and position would naturally not pass through easily.

Tony wasn't too surprised.

"Peter Quill?"

"Who is this guy now?"

After chatting with Thor for a while, Tony found that he had another new request to add him.

The address indicated that the other party was also from the Marvel 199999 universe, but Tony had never heard of this name before.

Playboy didn't hesitate much before choosing to pass.

"Hello?"

The other party tentatively sent a text message to Playboy: "Iron Man Tony Stark?"

"Yes, and who are you? I know you're Peter Quill, but I've never heard of that name before. Do you have some other extraordinary identity?"

Tony asked, quite curiously.

Based on Tony's consistent experience, the vast majority of those chosen on the big screen are superheroes, accounting for over 90%.

Therefore, Playboy naturally had reason to suspect that Peter Quill was also a superhero.

"Of course! I am the legendary thief Star-Lord!"

Peter Quill proudly introduced himself, "So you really are Iron Man on Earth? The Iron Man who hammered out a suit of armor in a cave? This is all real? That's insane!"

Star-Lord!

So this guy is Star-Lord!

Tony finally realized who it was: "It's you, Star-Lord! Dude, you dance really well!"

Star-Lord, far away on Xandar, immediately turned pale.

He knew that Tony was referring to the scene on the big screen where he had danced and defeated Ronan.

Damn it, all the users in the big screen user list can actually see this big screen.

"OK, interplanetary travel shouldn't be a problem."

"Then, let's try inter-universe travel next!"

After chatting with Star-Lord for a while, Tony's interest and enthusiasm had reached their peak.

While casually dealing with Star-Lord, Thor, and the others, he also added a friend from another universe.

Batman, Bruce Wayne.

It was approved quickly on the other side as well.

"Bruce Wayne, this is Tony Stark!"

Tony immediately sent a message to the other party: "I am a visitor from the Marvel Universe 199999, sending you a friendly communication signal. Can you receive it?"

"Hello, Tony Stark!"

Soon, Tony received a reply from Bruce Wayne: "This is Bruce Wayne. I received your message."

Bruce, inside Wayne Manor, wore a solemn expression, but his eyes also revealed a hint of anticipation and curiosity.

He was very familiar with this Tony Stark; the man bore a striking resemblance to him.

The big screen even featured a comparison between the two of them. (End of Chapter)
