American comics start with asking Iron Man a question.

But now it seems that Captain America didn't die at all!

"No, Captain America lived during World War II. Even if he hadn't died, he would be almost a hundred years old by now!"

Rhodes frowned slightly. "But in the footage, Captain America looks younger than me! Could it be that the serum Captain America received grants immortality?"

"As far as I know, that serum can only enhance various human attributes, turning an ordinary person into a superman, but it does not have the ability to make people live forever."

Coulson shook his head, though he used the phrase "as far as I know," his tone was quite certain.

The reason is simple: S.H.I.E.L.D. has been researching the Super Serum!

Although we haven't yet reached the point where we can replicate the super serum, we have a very good understanding of its effects.

That does not include slowing down aging.

Moreover, after being injected with the super serum, a person's metabolic rate increases significantly.

The initial report after Captain America was injected with the super serum showed that his metabolism was four times that of a normal person!

From this perspective, super serum not only fails to slow down aging, but may even cause premature aging and a shorter lifespan!

The idea of ​​immortality is even more absurd.

In fact, it wasn't just S.H.I.E.L.D.; ever since the myth of Captain America emerged, many departments, including the military, have conducted extensive research on the super serum.

The Hulk is an accidental mutation resulting from the military's research on the super serum.

However, none of them have reported finding any similar effects in serum that could slow down human aging.

"Immortality? Rhodes, that's something only God could do!" Iron Man shook his head, not believing it at all.

Serum can enhance human attributes, unlock human potential, and allow a person's body to reach the limits of what the human body can achieve, which is still within an acceptable range.

But what about breaking the boundary between life and death?

That's really ridiculous.

"From a scientific point of view, there is no way to make people live forever; modern technology simply cannot do such a thing!"

Iron Man continued firmly, "Such technology is unlikely to appear even within the next hundred years!"

At this point, Iron Man's face showed deep confusion. "So Captain America... what exactly happened?"

"Doesn't Captain America know magic?" Coulson suddenly thought of something. "Could it be the power of magic?"

Technological means certainly cannot achieve immortality, so what about supernatural powers?

Just look at Captain Marvel.

When Coulson and Nick Fury first met Captain Marvel, they were both young and energetic, but what about now?

They've both become weathered middle-aged men, but Captain Marvel's appearance in the future remains unchanged!

"So... it's the power of magic that keeps Captain America forever young?" Rhodes said, utterly speechless.

This statement sounds so absurd!

The soldiers and magic from World War II don't match up at all!

Extremely jarring!

But then, thinking back to the footage of Captain America using magical items to summon lightning, Rhodes did start to waver.

Could it be... that Captain America is actually a sorcerer?

"If Captain America were truly such a powerful sorcerer, would he be unable to handle even a mere airplane?" Iron Man pointed out the flaw incisively.

Captain America ultimately chose to crash into the river because there were a large number of detonated bombs on the plane.

Schmidt also tampered with the plane, preventing it from turning and forcing it to keep moving forward until it eventually reached New York and exploded there.

Captain America chose to plunge into the river in order to save the many citizens of New York.

If Captain America had been a sorcerer who could achieve immortality back then, would he have been unable to handle such a trivial matter?

"Furthermore, none of the relevant information indicates that Captain America possesses magic," Iron Man added.

“But we can’t rule out that possibility.” Coulson’s eyes gleamed, his mind racing.

"First of all, Captain America has indeed shown us the power of magic, that's undeniable."

"Furthermore, we weren't on the plane at the time, so we don't know what happened. It's possible that Captain America ran out of magic, or that Schmidt used other magical powers as well."

Coulson's inference is supported by sufficient facts, because Schmidt had the Tesseract at the time!

The Cosmic Cube is a magical item!

"Finally, the reason there is no information about Captain America having magic is simpler: this part of the information is highly classified, so we don't know about it."

Coulson spoke eloquently and logically to Rhodes and Iron Man, providing a well-reasoned analysis.

“Although it sounds absurd, Tony… what he said does make sense, and we can’t rule out that possibility.”

Rhodes nodded to the side.

Putting aside subjective feelings, from a purely logical perspective, Colson's inference is indeed currently irrefutable.

Chapter 014 Iron Man's Theory of Freezing and Preservation

"Rhodes, where did Captain America crash his plane?"

Iron Man had been deep in thought when, as if remembering something, he suddenly looked up at Rhodes and asked a question.

"In the Arctic region."

Coulson provided the answer first.

In this regard, Coulson was more accurate than Rhodes in terms of intelligence.

"The Arctic Generation?"

Iron Man clapped his hands sharply, as if a certain deduction in his mind had been confirmed. "That's right!"

"Tony, what are you thinking about?" Rhodes asked curiously from the side.

"In fact, I do have a deduction!" Iron Man shrugged and confidently stated his thoughts under the watchful eyes of Rhodes and the other man.

"After Captain America's plane crashed, it remained frozen in the frigid waters of the Arctic Ocean!"

"The extreme cold caused Captain America's metabolism to almost stop; in other words, the extreme cold prolonged Captain America's life!"

"It's like... freezing and preserving food."

"It's that simple!"

"After being frozen in the Arctic Ocean for seventy years, Captain America finally broke through the ice!"

"That's why Captain America didn't die, but hasn't left any trace in the past seventy years!"

"Tony!" Rhodes was utterly speechless. "What kind of person could survive for seventy years in that kind of environment?"

"Do you know how many homeless people freeze to death in New York every winter? Not to mention those who have lived in the Arctic Ocean for seventy years."

"So, Captain America is the real super soldier!" Iron Man exclaimed with a triumphant air.

“Yes, that is indeed a possibility.” Coulson nodded in agreement.

Theoretically speaking, the possibility that Iron Man mentioned does exist.

"I trust my judgment! After the quiz, I'll go to the Arctic Ocean to search, and I'm sure I'll find something!"

Iron Man was brimming with confidence.

“I hope you can make some discoveries too!” Coulson nodded sincerely.

If finding Captain America were really that easy, it would save everyone a lot of trouble.

"Alright, that's enough about Captain America. Let's talk about Endgame!" Rhodes said seriously to everyone.

Iron Man and Coulson both became serious and solemn.

The final battle is a battle that concerns the life and death of the entire planet, and no one dares to be careless or underestimate it.

"First, let me briefly summarize: this final battle is a war launched by the alien army led by Thanos, the cosmic overlord, against Earth."

"The motives behind the war are unclear, but the six Infinity Stones have a near-decisive influence on the success or failure of this war."

"What we can do now is to find the six Infinity Stones in advance, and also to find the future superheroes shown in the images."

"Is there anything else you'd like to add?"

After Rhodes finished speaking, he looked at Iron Man and Coulson and asked a question.

Both of them shook their heads. In fact, there wasn't much they could do; Rhodes had already summarized everything for them.

However, Coulson secretly thought to himself that perhaps Nick Fury could ask Captain Marvel; maybe Captain Marvel would know about Thanos.

After all, Captain Marvel spends most of her time in interstellar space.

But Coulson also knew that although Nick Fury had Captain Marvel's contact information, he wouldn't easily contact her unless it was something truly urgent.

A single piece of information that may be from the future is likely not enough to make Nick Fury make this decision.

"It's a real pity. This mysterious question-answering system has frozen time, so Jarvis can't use it. Otherwise, I could have found those people immediately."

Iron Man said with a hint of regret.

With time frozen, all equipment becomes unusable, which is why they didn't attempt to record video or take photos from beginning to end.

“Pete, Sam… at least we know two names,” Coulson shrugged.

“I have a good relationship with Pete in the future. I don’t care about the others, but Pete is mine!” Iron Man said to Rhodes and Coulson in a serious tone.

"Whatever you want!" Coulson said noncommittally.

Rhodes shrugged and didn't say anything more.

However, upon seeing the expressions on the two men's faces, Iron Man knew he had wasted his breath; they would likely go back and immediately search for Pete.

After all, that boy is a superhero!

Neither the military nor S.H.I.E.L.D. would give up so easily.

But Iron Man is also confident that when it comes to finding people, who can beat him?
