Superman Marvel Adventures

Tony was holding another hamburger in his hand, and had already eaten a third of it. After all, he hadn't eaten for more than a day, and it seemed that he had relaxed since returning to New York. Now he felt very tired, but there was one thing he had to do today, which was why he persisted.

He walked over but didn't go to the podium. Instead, he sat down directly below the podium and said, "Alright, I'll tell you what you want. But ladies and gentlemen, please sit down. Let's sit down and talk. After all, I'm a wounded soldier now."

Everyone chuckled softly, then disregarded all etiquette and sat down. After all, Tony Stark was already sitting on the ground, and they knew his temperament very well; if they didn't cooperate, they might not get any information.

"Hmm, this looks much better," Tony said, taking a bite of his burger.

"Mr. Stark, what announcement do you have here today? What happened during your kidnapping? And your brother, why hasn't he shown up yet?" The reporters began to ask their questions.

“We need to address the issues one by one. Well, I’ll tell you the purpose of today’s press conference in a bit. As for my experience after being kidnapped,” Tony said, taking another bite of his hamburger, “I will publish a biography when I’m old.”

"Mr. Stark..."

Before one reporter could finish speaking, Tony waved his hand and continued, "As for my brother, well, he was among the people who went to rescue him today. I thought you might get the news later, so I won't go into details. Now, I'm going to get to the point. I'm closing Stark Industries' weapons manufacturing division!"

Boom! The moment Tony uttered his last words, the entire conference room erupted in chaos. All the reporters were initially shocked, then launched into a barrage of questions. Everyone knew that while Stark Industries' business was vast, it was primarily an arms dealer. And now, Tony Stark, the young chairman, was saying he wanted to close the arms manufacturing division—this was absolutely huge news!

"Mr. Stark..." "Mr. Tony Stark, may I ask..."

Obadiah Stanislav's expression changed instantly upon hearing Tony's words. He quickly ran over and said, "Hehe, Tony was just joking with everyone. After all, you all know what happened to him..."

Tony roughly snatched the microphone from Obadiah Stane's hand and shouted, "I hereby announce that Stark Industries' weapons manufacturing division will be shut down. This order is effective immediately, effective today!"

After Tony Stark finished speaking, he ignored Obadiah's gloomy face and the reporters below, and left the conference room with Pepper and Happy.

Chapter 270 The Birth of Iron Man

"It seems this incident has had a significant impact on him," Christine said to Adam beside her, watching the news on television.

“Yes, he had always disagreed with shutting down the weapons research department, but this time he just shut it down.” Adam shook his head and said, “As expected of Dad’s son, his temper is exactly the same.”

“But I’m worried about that device on his chest. I think I’ll concoct some life potions in the next few days to see if I can help him recover,” Christine said, looking at the tired-looking Tony on TV.

“That’s good. After all, there’s a problem with the fuel in his miniature arc reactor. It will cause poisoning if used for a long time,” Adam said, then looked at Obadiah Stanstan in the camera and said, “And this guy, I’m going to check him out myself to see if I can find any evidence that we can’t let him stay by Tony’s side.”

“I think it would be faster if you contacted Maria, since she has a lot of agents.”

After hearing this, Adam said, "Well, I'll go there in person tomorrow." He then turned off the TV, lay down next to Christine, and slowly drifted off to sleep, as he hadn't slept for a long time.

--------------------------------------------

In an apartment in Queens, Peter Parker walked in, tossed his backpack onto the bed, and began talking on the phone. It was clear the person on the other end was his girlfriend, Gwen Stacy. Because Superman and the others had been away for the past few days, Spider-Man had been left to look after the city, so he sounded tired, but still spoke earnestly to Gwen Stacy.

But the two started arguing as they talked. After all, they were both young people who had just started college. In addition, Peter Parker often ran away halfway through their dates. Although Gwen Stacy understood Peter Parker, sometimes small tempers and resentments would accumulate and eventually explode. Perhaps today was that time.

"Fine, so you're like this no matter what I say? Okay, then I won't say anything more. I'm tired, going to sleep!!!"

Peter Parker angrily threw down his phone, and without bothering to wash up, he threw himself onto the bed. Then, with a whoosh, a spider silk switched off the light, plunging the entire house into darkness.

At that moment, Peter Parker's backpack, which he had tossed in the corner, suddenly moved a few times, and then black liquid flowed out of it, slowly approaching Peter Parker's room. Eventually, it dyed the Spider-Man suit that Peter Parker was still wearing black. Strangely enough, Spider-Man, who had a spider-sense, did not react to this at all throughout the entire process.

Inside Tony's villa in California

After the press conference, Tony, wearing a gray vest, and with the help of a robotic arm, created a new, nearly perfect Arc Reactor in just a few hours. Holding the Arc Reactor, Tony looked at his chest and suddenly fell into a reverie.

"Sir, Miss Pepper has arrived." Jarvis's reminder startled Tony, who then saw Pepper walk in with a hint of confusion on her face.

“If I remember correctly, we were together before, and then…” Pepper was interrupted by Tony before she could finish speaking.

"Yes, I know. I'm the one who asked you to go back. But now there's something I need your help with."

"Well, it's really a bit strange of me to have an assistant like this."

“Well, I’m sorry, it sounds strange, but,” Tony paused, looking into Pepper’s eyes, and said, “I really don’t know who to believe.”

Pepper had originally planned to give Tony a good sarcastic remark, but after hearing Tony's last words, she couldn't help but feel sorry for him. She sighed, walked over to Tony, and asked, "Okay, what do you need me to do?"

"Yes, I need you to reach in and take out a wire from the base inside, then attach this new one." Tony explained the task very casually.

This was the first time Pepper had looked closely at Tony's chest, and she asked, "What's this?"

"The thing that keeps me alive, um, don't cry, I'm fine, but you'd better hurry up," Tony said with a smile.

"Don't your brother and the others have any ideas either?" Pepper asked nervously as she followed Tony's instructions.

"I don't know, but there should be a way. However, I don't want to remove this thing for now, because it gave me a new life!" Tony said, looking at the replaced reactor.

“Fine, that’s your problem,” Pepper said somewhat sullenly, then pointed to the old reactor in her hand and asked, “What are we going to do about this?”

“You know Pepper, I’m not a nostalgic man. This is useless now, burn it,” Tony said without looking up. He was full of energy and ready to speed up the Mark 1. Moreover, he already had a plan in mind. With Jarvis’s help, he would definitely make an even more advanced suit of armor.

Pepper was a little angry when she heard this and said, "Still the same old temper! I'm leaving, take care and get some rest!" Then she left, while Tony was completely immersed in his own world.

Time passed slowly, and the outside world was stunned by the news that Stark Industries had closed its weapons manufacturing department. Although they really wanted to interview Tony Stark, the person in charge, they couldn't find out any information because Tony had been staying at home all the time.

Of course, at this point, Obadiah Stane wanted to step in and remove Tony from his position as chairman, but unfortunately, when he summoned all the directors, he discovered that most of Stark Industries' stock was actually registered under the names of Adam, Tony, and Christine, and the other shareholders seemed to have been warned by Adam and did not support Obadiah Stane, which made him very frustrated.

On this very day, S.H.I.E.L.D. finally received news that they had obtained a series of evidence related to Obadiah Stane's arms trafficking to hostile countries and terrorist organizations and the kidnapping of Tony Stark. As a result, the old man who had spent his life thinking about dominating Stark Industries was finally arrested and sentenced to life imprisonment. Of course, Adam only played a small part in this.

Apart from this incident, nothing particularly noteworthy happened. The Ten Rings remained universally condemned internationally, with many of their outposts destroyed by the US military. After all, not every member of the organization could possess a magic ring.

Furthermore, since the Mandarin had already collected all ten rings, he decided to keep a low profile until he had fully mastered their abilities. Of course, the terrorist organizations surrounding the Ten Rings were unaware of this and continued their high-profile antics, ultimately being wiped out by a combined effort from various factions.

"Jarvis, report the data!"

Ten thousand meters in the air, a voice came from a high-speed humanoid aircraft. Upon closer listening, it was Tony Stark's voice. He had completed the Mark III armor at this time. The entire armor was dyed in Tony's favorite red and gold, and with the use of materials such as titanium alloy, it could be said to be more advanced and powerful than the previous Mark I and the later test version Mark II.

“Sir, all systems are functioning normally and further testing can proceed,” Jarvis immediately reported on the armor's condition.

"Consume all energy on the thrusters; we need to get to that town quickly."

"But sir, there are still some capabilities that haven't been tested yet, and you said before that today's trip is just for test flights, not for actual combat."

“Jarvis!” Tony looked at the screen and said, “There’s an old saying in the East: plans can’t keep up with changes. Although we’re here today for further testing, since someone needs our help, we can’t just stand by and do nothing. Let’s go!”

Chapter 271 They all make their appearance

"Master, we've spotted Tony. He's flying towards Afghanistan, seemingly heading to Gmira, which appears to be the home of the doctor we found. It's currently under attack by militants."

On the watchtower in geosynchronous orbit, Adam is assembling a robot with the help of a robotic arm. This is a combat robot that exists as a protector inside the watchtower. Adam didn't want it to be released before, but after this ordeal, he has come to terms with some things.

At this moment, Athena appeared beside Adam and reported Tony's latest intelligence to him.

“Okay, I knew this guy would do this.” Adam looked at the golden-red object flying at high speed on the screen and said, “Connect to Jarvis, I want to talk to him.”

“Yes, Master!” Athena immediately carried out Adam’s instructions.

“Hey bro, what’s up?” Tony asked.

"Do you need help?" Adam didn't scold or lecture, but asked with concern.

"What?" Tony seemed taken aback for a moment, then asked, "Are you sure you didn't drink today?"

"You little brat, do you really enjoy being lectured by me?" Adam said irritably. "The place you're heading to might have remnants of the Ten Rings or other mutants, because Athena just detected the energy reaction there. So, I want to ask you, do you need support?"

"Ah, no need. This time, I want to be on my own!" Tony immediately replied, "I can do it, trust me!"

“Okay, by the way, Christine is already making a potion for your chest wound, don’t worry. Hmm, it would be best to start researching a new element to replace palladium. You know, although it can keep you alive for now, we still have to be careful of palladium poisoning,” Adam said while continuing his work.

There was a moment of silence on the other end, then someone said, "Ah, my signal is a bit bad. Let's talk again when I get back!" After saying that, they immediately hung up.

However, Adam could still sense Tony's emotions from his words, and smiled slightly, saying, "This kid is actually shy. Athena, keep an eye on Tony."

Athena smiled and nodded, saying, "No problem. By the way, Master, there's something I feel I need to tell you."

"What is it?" Adam asked, standing up after installing the last component.

“Dr. Bruce Banner recently appeared in New York City and seems to be preparing to contact someone. I recently received some coded messages, and once I crack them, I will be able to find out who he is contacting,” Athena reported.

Adam paused for a moment, then said, "This matter deserves even more attention. We mustn't let the Doctor get angry in New York, or he'll tear down the entire Manhattan area. Also, I believe the military is still not giving up. They should take control of the various surveillance cameras and provide the Doctor with some assistance when he needs it."

"Yes, Master, I'm off then." With that, he vanished in a flash.

On Earth, Peter Parker's girlfriend, Gwen Stacy, recently discovered something that infuriated her: Parker had gotten together with Mary Jane, another beauty queen at their school. Just moments ago, Peter Parker, who had said he had important business to attend to, showed up at a small cabaret performance and even received a passionate kiss from Mary Jane while holding flowers. This enraged Gwen Stacy, who went up to him intending to slap him, but Peter Parker easily caught her.

"Gwen, you actually want to hit me?" Peter Parker's voice was filled with a fierce and malevolent aura.

"You scum! I misjudged you! You can just keep messing around with this woman!" Gwen's wrist hurt from Peter Parker's grip. She struggled to pull her arm away, glared at Peter Parker, and turned to leave the small theater crying.

"Peter, who is that?" Mary Jane, who had just finished her performance, was planning to have dinner with her new friend, but she found him entangled with a girl and almost got slapped. This gave Mary Jane a hunch, but she still decided to ask the boy in front of her who had captured her heart.

"What's it to you!" Peter Parker, whose mind was being slowly influenced by the alien creature, was already somewhat irritable, and when he heard Mary Jane ask this question, he immediately exploded.

“You…” Mary Jane looked at Peter Parker with some disappointment and said, “I didn’t expect you to be this kind of person!”

Peter Parker, enraged, smashed a wooden ornament beside him with a bang, then ignored the stunned crowd behind him and strode away from the small theater. He then walked into an empty alley, put on his battle robe, which had somehow turned black, and began to wander continuously over the skies of New York.

Just as Spider-Man, dressed in all black, occasionally lends a helping hand to others, he is feared and hated for his excessive force, Vanguard, who has recovered, whistles over from the side and hovers in the air not far from Spider-Man.

"Hey, buddy, what's wrong?" Vanguard asked with some concern.

He received news a few days ago that Spider-Man had changed his suit. He initially thought it was nothing, but then he discovered that Spider-Man's temper had become more volatile since the change. After investigating secretly for a few days without finding any clues, he had no choice but to come over in person.

Upon hearing Vanguard's words, Spider-Man swiftly slid down onto a nearby building, looked down at Vanguard, chuckled, and said, "Yo, isn't this that murderer? What, here to kill me?"

Pioneer frowned slightly and asked, "Spider-Man, what's wrong with you?"

"What's wrong with me? I'm fine!" Spider-Man spread his arms wide in an exaggerated manner and said, "I've never felt so comfortable, so free!"

“Perhaps you’re sick, Spider-Man. Come back with me, we need to check this out,” Vanguard said. “You weren’t like this before.”

"You orphan, stay out of my business!" Spider-Man's voice was deep and menacing as he slowly said, "Or I'll kill you!"

Anyone would be angry at such words, let alone the already somewhat arrogant Harry Osborn. He said coldly, "Spider-Man, it seems you really are sick. Stop resisting and come back with me!!!"

"What else?" Spider-Man clung to the wall like a spider, his eyes fixed on Vanguard, and said coldly, "Will you kill me? Like that time in Afghanistan when you killed those unarmed civilians?"

"I already said that what happened was just an accident, I didn't kill any innocent people!" Vanguard was also on the verge of exploding.

"So why hasn't Adam let you return to the League yet?" Spider-Man sneered, "Isn't it because you've killed people? What right do you, a murderer like you, have to talk to me!" After saying that, he ignored Vanguard and shot out a web to leave.

"Damn it!" Unexpectedly, the first to make a move was not Spider-Man, who was affected by the parasite, but Vanguard. He took out a pumpkin-shaped weapon from his waist and threw it at Spider-Man, breaking Spider-Man's web.

Spider-Man remained calm under pressure, spun around in mid-air, and tossed a few wads of web at Vanguard with a few soft thuds. He then stood atop a shorter building, his large eyes narrowed, staring menacingly at Vanguard.

"You struck first this time, so if Adam asks about it, it's none of my business!" Spider-Man laughed triumphantly, "Come on, let's have a good fight, Vanguard!!!" With that, he slammed his feet against the wall behind him, using the force to charge towards Vanguard with a whooshing sound.

"Damn it, this guy is definitely suspicious!" Vanguard was relieved after making his move and regretted it a bit, but he was still a young man and hadn't found a way to get Spider-Man back with him, so he had to resort to force.
