Superman Marvel Adventures

While Captain America was fighting the Winter Soldier No. 3 in front of him, he kept thinking about who the guy who had just spoken was. He had this feeling that he should know the guy, but no matter how hard he tried, he still couldn't remember who he was.

Thinking during battle is a taboo, which is why some of Captain America's clones were knocked away by Winter Soldier 3's punch, forcing him to focus all his attention on dealing with the enemy in front of him.

Adam's battle was quite simple, or rather, very short. After all, no matter how strong his opponent was, he was just an enhanced soldier from decades ago. Although Adam's strength was not at its peak, he had recovered at least 80%. Therefore, facing the Winter Soldier #4 who was roaring and charging towards him, Adam raised his right fist and delivered a powerful blow. The so-called enhanced soldier then lost consciousness.

As mentioned before, the strength of these elite soldiers was not the real reason why Captain America and his team were afraid of them. Therefore, although these guys were very powerful, they were still defeated by Captain America and his team after a few minutes of fierce fighting.

"Gah gah gah, I didn't expect you people to be so powerful." The voice still came from above. The other party seemed very confident in his strength and did not run away, which made everyone below a little confused.

"Who exactly are you?" Captain America shouted. "And where's that Zemo guy?"

"Zemo? You mean this?" the person above said, and then a black figure fell from the sky and landed on the ground with a thud.

“He’s dead.” Adam knew at a glance that the other man had no heartbeat, and frowned as he asked, “Who is this guy?”

Tony walked over and turned the corpse around, exclaiming, "It's that psychiatrist, no, it should be that Zemo guy."

"He's dead?" Captain America also looked surprised.

"It seems this guy is someone else's pawn," Adam said calmly. "Actually, when I learned that he was able to infiltrate the conference center to plant a bomb and walk into the German special forces base so brazenly, I knew that he must have the tacit approval of various governments. What a pity for the old king of Wakanda."

"What do you mean?" Captain America shouted, looking up.

"Me? Nothing much. I just thought this guy named Zemo was too naive, wanting to kill these Winter Soldiers, so I took care of him. But I also got some fun things done in the process," the person in the shadows said calmly.

Adam really didn't want to keep guessing, so he flew up and, based on the direction he had previously determined, punched hard at the place where the other party was. With a loud bang, the wall that hadn't been broken by Tony's beam attack was punched through by Adam.

Unfortunately, when Adam went inside, he found that there was no one there, but rather a loudspeaker, indicating that the other party had already left.

"Hey bro, have you found that guy yet?" Tony shouted from the ground.

“There’s no one here. Those guys were probably just trying to delay us and got themselves killed. That guy’s gone.” Adam frowned as he checked the place, then shook his head and said to Tony.

"They're already gone?" Tony looked surprised and shouted, "Hey, who are you?"

"Hehehe, I didn't expect this so-called person to be so powerful. It was definitely the right thing to leave first. But I still have to thank you for sending me such a fun transport vehicle." A slightly smug voice came from the loudspeaker.

"Damn it, they're trying to escape! Let's go after them!" Captain America frowned deeply. He had a feeling that there was some kind of conspiracy waiting for them here, so he decided to leave and chase after that guy.

"Oh dear, don't rush, everyone. We're all here. If we don't perform the final act, wouldn't we be letting Zemo's good intentions go to waste?" The man's gloating voice blared from the loudspeaker. He continued, "This matter concerns the true cause of death of your fathers, Adam Stark and Tony Stark. Whether you want to stay and see or not, that's your decision. Wahahahahaha, the show is about to begin!"

I need to take a day off, sorry.

I'm nearing the end, and then I got a bit writer's block. I went back and looked at it again, and found that many plot holes hadn't been filled, and I'd even forgotten some characters. The hiatus was too much. Um, I'm really sorry. I had some personal matters to attend to today, plus writer's block, so I'll take a day off!

Chapter 421 The Siberian Campaign Part 3

After Adam and the others reunited at Hydra's secret base, they discovered that Zemo, who had orchestrated everything, was dead. However, new enemies had appeared, and the Winter Soldiers had all thawed. After a battle, they defeated four of the Winter Soldiers, only to find that the shadowy figure had already slipped away when they arrived.

Adam and his companions were about to chase after the dark figure when they were stopped in their tracks by a strange image appearing before them. A semi-transparent virtual screen had just appeared in front of them, playing a strange video clip.

Normally, this strange thing wouldn't have stopped the four of them, but Adam and Tony were shocked to see a car appear on the screen. The familiar color, style, and license plate number made the two brothers realize that this was their father's car, and it was exactly the car their father had been in on the day of the accident.

"What on earth is going on?" Tony stared at the screen in shock and shouted.

"Don't rush, let's observe first," Adam said calmly.

Captain America, seeing the expressions on the two brothers' faces, had a vague sense of unease. Meanwhile, Bucky, upon seeing the contents, gradually awakened a previously forgotten memory in his mind—a truly terrifying memory.

On the screen, the car was driving very smoothly, but strangely, there was no one around even though it was broad daylight. Then, with a loud bang, the car crashed into the guardrail, and someone that Adam and Tony knew very well got out of the car.

Howard Stark! The father of Adam and Tony.

Howard Stark, bleeding from his head, got out of the back seat of the car. He ran over to check on his driver and butler, seemingly relieved. Then he opened the right rear door and began to check on his wife. Although Tony's mother was not visible inside due to the camera angle, both Tony and Adam knew that the other person sitting next to Howard Stark was his wife.

Just as Adam and Tony sensed something was wrong, a motorcycle indeed came from behind, drove up to the car, and knocked Howard Stark unconscious with a single punch.

"Damn it! F-beep beep beep beep beep!" Tony shouted when he saw this.

Adam stared coldly at the screen in front of him. He knew that there was no way to stop the tragedy from happening, but at least he could see what had happened that day.

Adam had always suspected that his father had been murdered, but he had no information, so he gave up and did not continue the investigation. Now that he thought about it, the fact that he could see this information in Hydra's base meant that all the information had been hidden by Hydra, who was hiding in S.H.I.E.L.D. No wonder Adam did not find any clues back then.

The video continues, showing the man on the motorcycle taking off his helmet and hanging it on the motorcycle. He then helps the unconscious Howard into the car, stands outside the car for a long time, and finally reaches out and twists Howard Stark's arm, thus ending Howard's life.

"No! Damn it, who is it?!?!" Tony shouted.

Adam gently stopped his younger brother and said calmly, "Keep watching. Since that guy showed us this video, the truth must be in it!"

At this moment, Adam vaguely guessed who this guy was.

In the video, the killer murders Jarvis, the butler, and Tony's mother in turn. He then stages a car accident and goes behind Howard Stark's car. He opens the trunk, takes out a briefcase, and because his back is to the camera, no one knows who he is until this point.

Just then, the man hung his briefcase on a hook on the motorcycle, turned around and quietly looked at the camera for a while. Then, several gunshots rang out, and the image was distorted and turned black.

Although the screen went black, the person's appearance had been clearly seen by everyone present, especially Tony, who memorized the person's face.

"Bucky!~~~~~" Tony roared and rushed towards Bucky, but was stopped by Captain America.

"Wait, Tony, don't get excited!" Captain America tried to calm Tony down, saying, "We don't know if this is really true yet."

Tony then asked Adam, "Now what do you think? Do you also want to persuade me to give up on revenge?"

Adam didn't answer Tony's question. Instead, he looked at Bucky expressionlessly and asked calmly, "Was that you just now?"

“That’s right, it’s me!” Bucky said, without any emotion.

Bucky had barely finished speaking when Adam punched him, sending him flying through the air and smashing through some empty buckets and cardboard boxes that were blocking the hallway.

Captain America was stunned when he saw it, and then tried to defend his friend, saying, "Hey, wait a minute, Bucky was being controlled by Hydra at that time, it wasn't his intention."

"You mean we should forgive the murderer who killed our father?" Tony asked coldly, standing next to his older brother.

"The real killer is Hydra, not Bucky." Captain America only had this one friend left. Although he knew that this was indeed biased towards his friend, he had no choice but to do so. He couldn't just stand by and watch Adam and Tony kill Bucky.

"Captain, do you want to stop us?" Adam asked calmly.

“Adam, you should be able to understand, Bucky didn’t kill Howard of his own volition. We were all friends before,” Captain America shouted.

"No matter what, it doesn't change the fact that Bucky killed my father." Adam frowned slightly and said coldly, "I've completely lost faith in this world. Don't stop me, or even if you're a highly respected hero, I'll still kill you!"

Captain America's eyes narrowed, and he exclaimed, "What? You're going to kill Bucky?"

"When I first started my chivalrous deeds, my father made me swear a solemn oath never to harm any human being in this world for the rest of my life." Adam raised his head, forcing back the tears that were about to fall, and continued, "But the ones I'm about to kill aren't humans, and the hatred for the murder of my father is irreconcilable!"

"Adam..." Captain America was about to say something when Tony interrupted him.

“Rogers, I hope you won’t get involved in this!” Tony said coldly. “Otherwise, I really won’t consider our friendship this time.”

"Did you ever trust me before? Did you ever consider our friendship?" Captain America smiled wearily and said, "The only person I can prove I'm alive in this world now is Bucky. The whole world has abandoned Bucky and me. So, if you want to kill Bucky, you'll have to step over my dead body!"

Bucky had already arrived at Captain America's side. Although he had just been knocked away by Adam, his injuries were not serious and the metal arm had absorbed some of the force, so he recovered quickly. Moreover, although he knew that he might have killed his friend from decades ago, he did not want to give up and wait to die.

Adam looked at the two wary men, especially noticing the shield in Captain America's hand, and said calmly, "That also seems to belong to my father. Are you sure you want to use the shield my father made to protect the murderer who killed him?"

"That's none of your business!" Captain America said firmly. Since they were going to fight, he wasn't going to back down.

"Is that so? Then let's see if you can stop me. Tony, the captain is in your hands." After Adam finished speaking, he slowly stood up and in a flash, he had taken Bucky away.

Captain America, seeing his friend taken away by Adam, immediately wanted to rescue him, but Tony stopped him. Although Tony wanted to kill Bucky himself, since his brother had beaten him to it, he decided to wait. He believed Adam wouldn't kill Bucky so easily.

Chapter 422 The Shield Shatters, Friendship Ends

Not long ago, the Pentagon

Inside a conference room, all the bigwigs began discussing matters concerning Athena. Because military communications were cut off, they couldn't attend online meetings; everyone had traveled from all over the United States to this small conference room to discuss whether to reinstate the chess department, this special time-limited unit.

The bigwigs around Stan Lee asked, "How do you plan to handle this matter?"

"The chess club has already lost, hasn't it? Sending a bunch of losers back? What a joke!" a big shot sneered.

“But given the current situation, it seems that the only option is to bring them back.” Another bigwig pondered for a moment and said, “After all, we can’t fight against that artificial intelligence right now.”

"What do the people in Area X say?" Stan Lee asked.

"The people over there said that Hera's intelligence is no match for Athena's artificial intelligence, and there's no way to defend against it," another bigwig said angrily. Clearly, this bigwig was in charge of the so-called X area.

"Sigh, all I can say is that Adam Stark was just too amazing. Even alien technology can't compete with his brain," another person remarked.

"Perhaps it's because Adam Stark is also an alien. After all, according to the intelligence we've obtained, he's not Howard Stark's biological son, but a child who fell from the sky and was adopted by him." Another bigwig, who seemed to be the one in charge of intelligence work, said.

“So what should we do? We’ve already received two nuclear attacks,” another person asked loudly.

"Yes, if we don't decide soon, who knows where this madman will drop the next nuclear bomb?" another bigwig said anxiously.

“In that case, let’s decide by vote,” Stan Lee said calmly. “Those who think it’s necessary to bring the chess club back, please raise your hands.”

Most people raised their hands, including Stan Lee himself. Given the situation, it was certain that the chess department would return, but they wouldn't allow a department with such great power to be completely autonomous; they had to impose some restrictions on them.

After some heated discussions, General Stan Lee was ultimately appointed as the head of the chess department. Of course, he also had to take responsibility for this matter, as any mishap would bring his career to a halt.

“Then I will take charge of this matter, but we need to talk to Athena, that AI. The Chess Department’s Skynet probably won’t be able to function in the short term.” Stan Lee said calmly, “This was all done by that guy Trisk. Now that mutants are gone, there’s no need for any anti-mutant forces, right?”

“Yeah, that makes sense. They're the ones who caused this mess, so let them distract Athena, the AI, and buy us some time,” another bigwig agreed without hesitation.

And so, after a discussion among the bigwigs, Trisk's fate was decided. Trisk, far away at the Pacific Ocean underwater base, had no idea that he had just dealt with the mutants, only to be betrayed by his own people.

General Stan Lee walked out of the conference room and returned to his office, whereupon he instructed his secretary to call Locke back.

Soon Locke entered, led by his secretary. After the secretary left, Locke revealed a victorious smile.

"You still chose us?" Locke smiled slightly and said.

“Yes, we have chosen you. From now on, your chess club will regain its former rights, and I will have someone arrange for you to enter the X area,” Stan Lee said calmly.

“Area X? So all the latest technology comes from there?” Locke narrowed his eyes and said, “Then I’ll notify my personnel.”

"Wait a minute!" Stan Lee called out.

"Oh, is there anything else you need, General?" Locke asked curiously, though whether he was faking it was anyone's guess.

"The chess department will be reinstated, but you will be accountable to me, not the President of the United States. This is a change, please remember that," Stan Lee said calmly.

"Don't worry, we're a group of researchers. As long as we get access to that alien technology, we won't cause you any trouble," Locke said insincerely.

"I hope we have a pleasant working relationship." After saying this, Stan Lee instructed his secretary to handle the matters of the chess department.
