Marvel: I am Iron Man

Tony needed to modify most of the parts of this modified nightclub suit that looked similar to other Iron Man suits, so that the suit would look like it was made entirely by someone else.

First and foremost, the iconic curved reactor on his chest had to be hidden. Tony concealed the reactor inside the armor, covering the outside with armor plates.

Furthermore, the arc pulse weapon isn't mounted in the palm of the hand like other conventional models. Tony designed two pairs of pulse cannons on the forearms of both armored arms, releasing arc pulse beams through cannon components mounted on the forearms, making it visually different from traditional Iron Man.

The armor paint scheme couldn't use the classic red and gold color scheme; instead, it was changed to silver and black. The body's distinctive features were also modified to make it look less like Iron Man.

At the end of the design process, Tony thought about it again and felt that it wasn't quite right.

Instead of modifying the armor to make it look less like other Iron Man suits, it would be better to add some more distinctive features, ideally making it instantly recognizable as someone or something else.

For example...

Tony suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said, "That's right, Jarvis. Didn't we integrate the Arc Reactor inside the armor? Let's put another logo on the chest of this armor—you know, superheroes and villains always like to print their business cards on their chests."

Just like Spider-Man has a spider on his chest, Batman from DC has a bat on his chest, and Superman has a big "S" on his chest.

It seems that people take it for granted that the standard on the chest is a superhero's second face, and often habitually identify people by their chest.

"So what would you like us to paint on our chests, sir?" Jarvis asked.

Tony smiled—the kind of smile that comes from a fun-loving person who has come up with a new joke.

"I'm thinking... let's paint a hydra on our chests."

Jarvis: "..."

Even Jarvis seemed momentarily speechless, completely taken aback by his husband's amusement-filled thoughts.

Tony was referring to the classic logo of Hydra, which has been passed down since its inception: a skull with a tentacle resembling an octopus.

This symbol also embodies Hydra's important slogan—cut off one head and grow two more, signifying that the organization is immortal and can continue to grow stronger no matter what blows it suffers.

By using this symbol, Tony's advantage in doing so is obvious: it means that the armor has gained a scapegoat identity.

As long as he goes out in this armored vehicle at the right time and place, with that eye-catching logo, people will naturally associate him with Hydra.

If it's a troublesome matter he doesn't want to get involved in in his own name, the dirty water can be diverted to Hydra. Or, if necessary, he might even intentionally pin the blame on Hydra.

Anyway, Hydra is a group of lurking terrorists, and it's an organization that no longer exists openly. They don't seem like the type to hold a press conference or issue an official statement to refute the rumors.

This is the downside of being too deeply entrenched—they have to accept whatever blame is thrown at them.

Who told them to play dead? You can't just open a dead person's coffin and come out to curse them.

The newly revamped nightclub armor was simply named "Blame-Buster Mk I" by Tony, also known as the Hydra armor, a name that is concise and clear.

Finally, after spraying a large Hydra logo onto his chest, Tony took two steps back, put his hands on his hips, admired his work, and nodded in satisfaction.

With its silver-black paint job and deliberately designed sharp lines that give it a fierce look, the armor makes it look like a villain.

With this paint job, and the addition of the menacing Hydra on the chest, Tony felt it was very convincing at first glance.

Hydra, a villainous organization that has been operating in seclusion since World War II, has been secretly recruiting top scientists to conduct extensive research since the Nazi defeat. A century later, they have finally developed a top-of-the-line exoskeleton suit as a secret trump card, specifically designed to carry out various covert missions and strive for Hydra's revival...

This setting is very reasonable.

Oh, and lastly, we can't forget to equip it with a new weapon: a sonic cannon.

This isn't really a new weapon; it's a high-tech weapon that Stark Industries has had for a long time. It first appeared in the 2008 film *The Incredible Hulk*, used by General Ross's Hulk to capture troops.

The sonic cannons in the movie are mounted on a Jeep. If you pause and zoom in, you can see the words "Stark Industries" clearly written on the two cannons, which is obviously an early Easter egg in the movie.

The two sonic cannons demonstrated excellent performance when capturing the Hulk, causing considerable trouble for a heavyweight like him.

Later, in the movie "Captain America: Civil War", this sonic cannon technology was modified and applied to the War Machine armor worn by Colonel Rhodes.

In the airport battle scene of the movie, War Machine used this cannon on Scarlet Witch and immediately subdued her, with remarkable effect.

So strictly speaking, this was a technology Tony already had, not something new. He was just deciding to incorporate it into the armor for the first time.

The reason is simple: the mission he's about to undertake is likely related to vibranium.

Ulysses Klaue is Earth's number one vibranium dealer, so it wouldn't be surprising if he and his men possessed vibranium-related weapons. Not to mention the potential conflict with the Wakanda—Tony knows that Wakanda has always viewed Klaue as a thorn in their side and has been relentlessly pursuing him.

Wakanda has never been friendly to outsiders, so if you happen to encounter one and things get heated, you need to have a contingency plan in advance.

Therefore, he absolutely had to equip himself with sonic weapons. As anyone who has watched Marvel knows, vibranium is indestructible and can absorb energy, and this magical metal has only one natural enemy—sound.

Sound waves of a specific frequency can directly disable all the magical properties of vibranium.

The vibranium suit, which is impervious to blades and bullets, can instantly reduce armor to zero. In the movies, high-tech vibranium cars and vibranium fighter jets can be instantly disintegrated into pieces by a single sonic cannon shot.

Even more fortunately, Ulysses Klaue had left Amir a very small amount of vibranium when he passed by Amir's camp a few days earlier.

It was a very small amount, completely unusable for weaponry. It's likely that Klaue wanted to develop potential clients, and left this tiny bit to prove the existence of vibranium to the terrorist leader, hoping to pique Amir's interest and lay the groundwork for future business.

After sweeping through Amir's base, Tony naturally retrieved the minute sample.

This trace amount of vibranium had no practical value in combat, but it had scientific research value. Thanks to this only sample of vibranium, Tony quickly found the most vulnerable sound frequency of vibranium—of course, he was able to do it so quickly because, as a transmigrator, he knew from the beginning that this frequency existed and that vibranium had a weakness in sound waves.

He then had Jarvis record the frequency and equipped the armor with a miniature sonic cannon, thus completing the preparations.

"Completed."

Tony took one last satisfied look at his cool new armor, removed his goggles, and stood up.

"Alright Jarvis, get ready for the final adjustments. We're taking off."
