Superman Marvel Adventures

Maria Hill was taken aback and asked, "In the future? Leading a team? What exactly are you planning? Can't you just tell me?"

Adam shook his head and said, "It's not time yet, Maria. I'll tell you everything when the time is right."

At this moment, Captain America's body began to get hotter and hotter, and he began to struggle unconsciously, seemingly enduring great pain. The veins on his arms were completely bulging, making one subconsciously worry that they might burst.

"Master, we've reached the critical point!" Athena's voice rang out just in time.

After hearing this, Adam asked, "How is the captain? Can he hold on?"

Athena said with slight surprise, "It's really strange, Master. Although the captain's life force has dropped to 20% of the normal level, all the data show that he is in very good health, and his physical condition seems to have returned to its peak."

Adam breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. Although he was 90% certain, he was still surprised and impressed by Captain America's tenacity. While having Athena continue to monitor the data, he took out another dark-colored potion and injected it into Captain America's body again, then abruptly stopped the Tesseract's energy output.

After the Tesseract stopped emitting energy, Captain America's body trembled violently, then turned into a skeleton at a speed visible to the naked eye, before returning to normal. This process repeated nine times before Captain America's body finally returned to normal.

Startled by the terrifying scene, Maria Hill asked, "Adam, what just happened? Is Captain America alright now?"

Adam smiled and said, "That was the effect of two kinds of medicine I developed. It's a new kind of medicine specifically developed for Captain America. If it weren't for the Tesseract today, this enhancement would never have been successful. So, thank you for trusting me and for bringing the Tesseract out despite all the objections."

Maria Hill breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "So, the captain is alright? But why hasn't he woken up yet?"

Adam laughed and said, "Yes, he'll wake up soon. You know he suffered a lot just now. Although he was unconscious at that time, he still needs to rest for a while."

After hearing this, Maria Hill said, "Since the captain hasn't woken up yet, how about we go back to my office? I still have some questions I need to ask you."

"No problem, how about we chat over coffee? Of course, it would be even better if there were some snacks. I haven't eaten anything yet, I've been busy gathering those guys over." As he spoke, he fired a heat beam that melted the instrument he had just made into a pile of scrap metal.

Maria Hill, speechless after seeing this, said, "You're being far too cautious."

Adam shrugged and said, "You can't be careless in S.H.I.E.L.D. I don't want some of you to use the equipment I made to cause huge threats and damage to Earth one day. It's not like it hasn't happened before, so we still have to be careful."

Maria Hill was at a loss for words. She simply walked ahead, gesturing for Adam to follow, and swayed her hips as she headed towards her office.

Adam smiled slightly, then said to Athena, "You stay here and watch over the captain. He should wake up soon. Tell him some things appropriately, and I believe he can accept reality. Also, keep an eye on things on the other side and tell Logan that he can go all out and do his best. That's how you catch the big fish." After saying that, he left the ward with Maria Hill.

That wretched carpenter... still renovating...

Chapter 198 Trying to Catch a Big Fish

In Maria Hill's office, Adam stood by the window with a cup of coffee in his hand and said, "Looks like you haven't touched Nick Fury's things yet."

Maria Hill sat on the sofa and asked, "How do you know?"

Adam said with a look of disgust, "It's very old-fashioned taste. You can tell at a glance that it's not your style."

Maria Hill took a sip of her coffee and said, "Don't change the subject. You still haven't told me why you brought all those superheroes together. What exactly are you trying to do? Your actions have crossed some people's lines, and I don't want you to make unnecessary enemies."

Adam smiled slightly and said, "I'm just fishing and cleaning the pond."

Mary heard Adam's words but didn't understand what they meant. She frowned and said, "Can't even I tell you?"

Adam shrugged and said, "It's not that I can't tell you, but there isn't a single relatively safe place here. Take this room for example, I've found no fewer than twenty different kinds of listening and surveillance devices. You're really having a tough time as the director."

Hearing Adam mention the surveillance equipment, Maria didn't seem angry. She said, "So, I'm just an acting director. Fine, since you won't say anything, let's have some snacks here and wait for the captain to wake up. I think you'll be able to tell me something then."

"Maybe, but seriously, your coffee is really good. Looks like you'll have to bring me some back later." Adam easily changed the subject and started chatting with Maria about everyday things.

Located in a snow-covered mountain in Canada, there is a highly secret S.H.I.E.L.D. base. Only two people in the entire S.H.I.E.L.D. know about the existence of this base: a middle-aged man named Billy who guards the base, and Nick Fury, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D.

In this mysterious base covered in ice and snow, Nick Fury, who was supposedly on a mission in Africa, sat in a large hall filled with surveillance screens. He oversaw everything at S.H.I.E.L.D., making it clear that although Maria Hill was nominally acting as director, Nick Fury was ultimately the one issuing the orders.

Standing behind Nick Fury, eating a donut, Billy said, "Looks like even Mr. Superman's X-ray vision isn't without its weaknesses."

Nick Fury looked at the screen and said, "Well, it seems that his X-ray vision can't see through lead objects and energy shields, but because of this, the most deeply hidden surveillance cameras have also been discovered."

Billy continued eating his donut and asked, "Are we just going to watch like this? I'd really like to know why he gathered all those guys who call themselves superheroes."

Nick Fury didn't speak, continuing to stare at the screen. After a long while, he finally asked, "Has Hawkeye replied?"

Billy shook his head. He said, "Not yet. The message I received earlier said that nearly thirty or forty people have gathered there, but it seems that only three or four of them are real superheroes. The rest are just pawns of powerful forces."

Nick Fury nodded and said, "I think I know Adam Stark's plan. He seems to have discovered the true nature of these people and is preparing to clean them up."

Billy asked, puzzled, "But wouldn't that offend even more families or powerful groups? With his intelligence, he shouldn't do something like that. After all, even though he's a superhero, he still has family."

Nick Fury scratched his head. He said, "He wasn't this radical before. He became like this entirely because of what happened on the Helicarrier last time. Unfortunately, because he has too many prejudices against me, I still don't know exactly what happened back then. Although those guys in the Council support me, they have no intention of backing down on this matter."

Billy asked, "So what do we do now?"

Nick Fury said calmly, "We don't need to do anything. Superman will help us do things that are inconvenient or undesirable for us. So this time, we can just watch the show. Watch a good cat-and-mouse game!"

Billy shrugged and said, "Fine, you can stay here and keep watching. I don't want to keep staring at them like that. I'm going back. I'll let you know if Hawkeye has any news."

Nick Fury nodded without saying anything. Although Billy seemed a bit clumsy, comical, and unreliable, the fact that he could gain Nick Fury's trust and guard a secret base alone demonstrated his excellence. Therefore, Nick Fury trusted Billy completely and didn't say anything about his attitude. Anyone who had to stay in a completely deserted base for more than ten years would end up like him, entertaining themselves. The fact that he hadn't broken down already showed that he was an excellent agent.

In a lavish, futuristic villa in Manhattan's upscale neighborhood, a tall, overweight white man sat in the main seat of the living room, holding a gold-plated handkerchief in one hand and a cigar in the other. He casually asked, "So? Any replies from those guys? Has Adam Stark returned?"

A white-haired man wearing silver-rimmed glasses, with a fox-like smile and a glint of ruthlessness flashing in his narrowed eyes, heard the fat white man's words and immediately suppressed his smile, replying cautiously:

"Boss, Garou has texted us. Superman didn't show up at the party; he said he went to invite an old superhero. Right now, it's chaos inside. That idiot Cheetah King got provoked by Silver Bat and got into a fight with the people there."

The fat white man took a puff of his cigar and said, "These superheroes are such a nuisance, but today is a good opportunity, and also a very tempting trap. Fox, what do you think we should do?"

The silver-haired man, known as Fox, laughed and said, "Actually, our plan was going very well. We had a few of our best brothers dress up as superheroes to sabotage the enemy's territory, and then we would take over. Unfortunately, it seems that Superman has already seen through our plan."

The chubby white man frowned slightly, as if blaming someone, and said, "Fox, I mean, what's the next step?"

A casual remark instantly wiped the smile off Fox's face, and large beads of sweat began to pour down his back. He knew he had been smug and had revealed a smugness that made him look...

The boss's smile was extremely annoying, so he said very carefully:

"Boss, we can continue with our plan. Although Superman has seen through it, he's using those superheroes as bait. While we will indeed suffer some losses, if we join forces with those guys in the East District, I think we should be able to deal a heavy blow to these superheroes. This way, although we can't harm Superman, we can still damage his prestige."

The chubby guy nodded slightly and said, "That's right, we'll do it your way. I've already asked Bullseye to contact the members of the Brotherhood and Hell Club. I think they should be outside that bar by now. You go and contact the other bosses yourself and tell them that this is a rare opportunity!"

Fox stood up and said, "Yes,"

"Boss." After saying that, he turned and left the room.

Inside the room, the chubby man squinted and said, "In this way, as long as those guys make a move, they will definitely suffer a lot of losses. I'm one step closer to dominating the New York underworld. I, Kingpin, will eventually become the king of the entire underworld. Anyone who stands in my way, even if they are a god, I will kill without hesitation!"

Just then, a figure suddenly appeared behind Kingpin. Almost instantly, Kingpin did something that 98 percent of the world's fat people couldn't do: he turned around and slammed his cane down hard on the person who had suddenly appeared behind him. With a loud bang, the spot where the person had just appeared was now cracked 30 to 40 centimeters deep by Kingpin's cane.

"Oh dear, Kingpin, your way of welcoming people seems a bit unexpected." A playful voice came from not far away, instantly calming Kingpin's previously gloomy expression.

"So it's you, sir. Hehe, I really admire your ability to appear and disappear so mysteriously."

The figure laughed and said, "Hey, you're not bad either. No one would believe that a fat guy could unleash such powerful strength. Alright, enough joking. Did you get anything out of what I told you last time?"

Kingpin smiled slightly and said, "Hmm, so that's what it's about. I've found the person you're looking for. His name is Johnny Blaze, and his address is here. You can go find him. But to be honest, I haven't found anything special about him." He then took a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to the mysterious man.

The mysterious man, holding the note, said, "Curiosity killed the cat, Mr. Kingpin. Alright, I'll give you your reward. This is a local specialty that can help you create a batch of immortal warriors. The stronger their bodies are while alive, the more powerful they will be after the transformation. Ten in total. Bye-bye, see you next time." With that, he turned into a cloud of gray mist and disappeared.

Ps:

I'm resurrected.

Chapter 199 The Chaotic Scene

Kingpin stared intently at the spot where the man had vanished, a fire burning within him. 'One day, one day I will make all those arrogant bastards grovel before me!' Yet, cautious as he was, he didn't reveal his thoughts, for he didn't know if the man had truly left.

About fifteen minutes later, Kingpin knew the other person had left. He let out a soft sigh and called out, "Kyle, come in!"

Soon a tall man wearing a military t-shirt walked in and asked, "

"Boss, what are your orders?"

Kingpin, clutching the small bag in his hand, said, "Select the ten strongest men from among your men. I have a very important task for them."

Kyle didn't ask why or what the mission entailed, and simply walked out. This was precisely one of the things Kingpin valued most about Kyle. Unlike his other underlings, who, while loyal and respectful, were too worldly and unsuitable for secret missions, Kyle's two hundred men were indeed no less capable than elite special forces.

------------Divider for Shifting Perspectives------------

Meanwhile, in Adam's bar, the hall on the second floor was bustling with activity because a spectacular battle was taking place. Well, okay, I admit it was actually a big show of Wolverine beating up his underlings. King Leopard, who had been incited and thought himself invincible, made some sarcastic remarks when Adam hadn't arrived yet, and ended up being dragged out and severely beaten by Wolverine.

Later, the thugs who came with the Leopard King, who were called superheroes for various reasons, also rushed towards Wolverine, only to be thoroughly defeated by the experienced and powerful Mr. Wolverine.

He pulled out a brand-new cigar from his pocket, roughly lit it with a lighter, took a deep drag, and looked at the men lying on the ground with disdain. Wolverine said, "With your level of skill, you think you can cause trouble at Adam's party? I think you guys are no better than street thugs. I don't know why Adam invited you guys."

Of course, in reality, among the nearly forty people present, only a few from the Xaviers' School truly knew Adam's intentions. However, some astute individuals had a rough idea: Adam seemed to want to give a warning to these recently emerged superheroes. While these individuals hadn't guessed Adam's intentions perfectly, they weren't far off. Therefore, they quietly observed the developments, refraining from making any rash moves.

Clutching his aching stomach from Wolverine's beating, King Leopard gritted his teeth upon hearing Wolverine's words, "Damn mutant, you monster! Why can you come in here while I can't? I'm a superhero too, invited by Superman, unlike you, monster. I don't remember any monsters like you among the superheroes." Unable to overpower his opponent, King Leopard decided to use a scheme to get the other superheroes to drive Wolverine away.

Wolverine frowned at Cheetah King's words and said, "What an infuriating guy." He then kicked Cheetah King unconscious with his right foot. He then looked around at the people around him.

Upon seeing this, Ororo spoke up, "Logan, that's enough. Stop causing trouble." The Academy-trained mutants have a fatal weakness: they fear humans. Despite their immense strength, their childhood experiences leave them afraid of unarmed humans. Therefore, they are a group of mutants who don't want to cause trouble, and thus fear conflict with the superheroes here. Ororo was born to stop Wolverine.

Wolverine shrugged and walked up to a waiter who was in charge of greeting VIPs, asking, "Hey, what's Adam doing? How's he?"

Upon hearing this, the waitress smiled and said, "Mr. Wolverine, the master has successfully treated him and he should wake up in a while. It seems the master wants to wait until Captain wakes up before bringing him here, so please be patient and wait a little longer. Also, I just received a message from the satellite that it seems the giant snake has emerged from its hole."

After hearing this, Wolverine took a puff of his cigar and said, "This is the best news I've heard today. We can have another good fight."

At this moment, the Punisher approached Wolverine, extended his hand, and said, "Hello, Mr. Wolverine, I am the Punisher. You can call me Frank." He had come over because he saw that Wolverine could communicate with the waitress girl. He had tried to communicate with the waitresses before, but they still didn't respond. Moreover, after observing them up close, he discovered that they were holograms. Knowing their identities, he knew he couldn't get answers from them, so the Punisher hadn't wasted his time. But now that he saw Wolverine seemed to be able to communicate, he came over to ask.

Wolverine shook hands with the other person and said, "I've heard of you. Although you can be ruthless in fighting crime, you still maintain your bottom line. You're someone I admire. You can call me Logan; that's what my friends call me."

The Punisher smiled and said, "You flatter me. Actually, I was only thinking about revenge against those guys because of some things, and I killed a lot of people. But when I was on the verge of falling into hell, Superman woke me up. He not only saved my child, but also brought sunshine into my heart. I promised him that I would not kill anyone. So the person who should really admire me is him, not me."

Logan shrugged and said, "Looks like you're someone with a story too. By the way, did you come here to ask about Adam's intentions?" Having lived for nearly three centuries, Wolverine saw through the other's thoughts at a glance.

The Punisher didn't mince words and nodded in understanding: "That's right, I am indeed very curious about what Superman wants to do, because I know that Superman wouldn't abandon us to do his own thing for no reason."

Wolverine laughed and said, "Not bad, it seems you know a bit about his temperament too."

The Punisher nodded and said, "We've had quite a few interactions, after all, and I know he's a reliable person."

Wolverine pointed to the crowd that had quieted down because of his intimidation and said, "What do you think of those people? Do you think they are superheroes too?"

The Punisher said thoughtfully, "So that's how it is. He's testing these people?" Because the information was incomplete, the Punisher could only guess at this, which was also the closest guess he could come up with.

Wolverine stubbed out his cigar and tossed it into the ashtray beside him, saying, "You could call it a test, so are you ready for battle? The enemy is coming."

The Punisher was taken aback and asked, "Start the fight? What's going on?"

The Punisher's question was quickly answered, for just as he finished speaking, the lights in the hall suddenly went out, followed by a scream and curses from a corner.

At this moment, Wolverine chuckled and said, "That's how it is. Oh, and here's a warning: there's a surprise among the people who came today. Don't be startled by the surprise!" With that, he flicked out his claws with a clang and leaped away.
