American comics start with asking Iron Man a question.

There's nothing wrong with it.

“That makes sense, but the same logic could apply to the other three, right?” Scott Lang immediately raised a question. “Tony Stark traveled back in time, so were the other three also dead? Dr. Strange said that those three were people who were very close to Tony Stark, right?”

"If these three people died in Stark's original timeline, it would be reasonable for Stark to say a few more words to them after returning to the past and seeing them again."

What Scott Lang said is also correct.

So the key question now is, will these three people who are very close to Tony Stark die in the future?

“Pepper and Rhodes both participated in Endgame, but as for Happy, I can’t be sure for now.” Tony Stark thought for a moment, then shook his head.

"So Pepper and Rhodes can both be ruled out?" Thor immediately exclaimed excitedly. "We just need to choose between Happy and Howard?"

“No, I think the answer is my father,” Tony Stark said after a moment’s thought.

“T'Challa does have a point, but I think we need to consider another equally important issue.”

"During the Battle of New York, there was a point in time when Tony Stark existed. When I traveled back in time, there were two Tony Starks!"

"The location where my captain and I were on our mission was Stark Tower. What kind of place is that? It's Stark territory!"

"Therefore, I cannot easily contact anyone, especially in front of people I am close to, because it would be very easy to expose my identity."

"And my father's era? When my father retrieved the Tesseract, I wasn't even born yet, so I didn't exist in that era."

"Even if my father and I start chatting casually, it won't reveal my identity."

"It seems the most likely answer to this question is Howard," Captain America concluded, addressing the group.

There is no longer any controversy about this.

Pepper Potts and War Machine, two of the four options, are ruled out, based on both T'Challa's and Tony Stark's theories.

Therefore, these two options are definitely eliminated without a doubt.

In T'Challa's theory, Happy cannot be identified, but in Tony Stark's theory, Happy can be ruled out.

Even if Happy had actually died at the original point in time, it's unlikely that Tony Stark would say much to him if they met again.

It's just too dangerous.

With two Tony Starks existing simultaneously, and Happy being so familiar with and knowledgeable about Tony Stark, and frequently interacting with him, it would be easy for him to slip up.

Even if Tony Stark couldn't help but say something to the other person, it would definitely end quickly, and they would never have a pleasant conversation.

“That’s right, it seems the answer to this question is my father,” Tony Stark said decisively.

To be honest, this question is actually quite simple and easy to analyze.

I choose C, Howard Stark!

Tony Stark immediately faced the big screen and confidently gave his answer.

[Correct answer!]

The answer was exactly what Tony Stark expected; it was indeed Howard Stark.

[Congratulations to Tony Stark for winning the reward robot EVE!]

[The reward has been issued, please check your account!]

Swish!

With this system notification, an egg that looked perfectly smooth and shimmered with a faint luster appeared before everyone.

This is not an exaggeration; the thing that appeared in front of you really is an oval-shaped white object!

Moreover, the entire object is seamless, with a smooth, clean surface, and no other parts are visible except for something at the top that looks like a display screen.

It is quite different from the robot style that is generally accepted by everyone, such as "Iron Man".

"Robot? Where's the robot you were promised? This is just an egg!" Scott Lang couldn't help but complain.

This robot is quite different from the image of a robot that everyone has in mind.

"Calm down, Lang!" Tony Stark said calmly to Scott Lang.

With Tony Stark's words, the egg, which had been a single, solid piece, suddenly shattered into pieces.

It split from a single egg into four parts: a head, a torso, and two arms.

Of course, there are fingers on the arm.

Apart from that, there are no other superfluous parts, which can be said to take the minimalist style to the extreme.

Even on the display screen, only two circular dots appeared, representing Eva's eyes, nothing more.

They look very cute.

What intrigued everyone was that, despite not seeing any jet propulsion devices or anything like that, the robot suddenly floated up.

And it remained suspended in mid-air!

This scene still amazed everyone.

"This is... anti-gravity technology?"

After carefully examining him, T'Challa couldn't help but speak with a hint of surprise.

Aside from this anti-gravity technology, which was still in the conceptual stage, T'Challa couldn't think of any other possible theories.

Of course, T'Challa wasn't a scientist; his sister Shuri was. But having heard Shuri talk about these things often, T'Challa knew a thing or two.

"Heroes see the same thing."

Tony Stark agreed wholeheartedly, while glancing at T'Challa with a hint of surprise.

This black guy really knows a lot!

This was quite unexpected for Tony Stark.

"This reward is truly a pleasant surprise!"

Immediately afterward, Tony Stark couldn't help but exclaim, his eyes sparkling with extreme excitement.

If this technology were applied to one's own Iron Man armor, it would be a qualitative leap!

After all, the energy on the armor is very limited, and flight is a major energy consumer. Relying on jet flight also puts them at a natural disadvantage in terms of agility.

If anti-gravity technology were used in Iron Man armor...

Tony Stark's breathing became rapid.

Whoosh!

The robot Eve flew up to Tony Stark and blinked her big eyes at him.

"Owner!"

A cute, girlish voice rang out, and Eva greeted Tony Stark.

“SIR is fine. It feels weird to hear a girl’s voice calling me master,” Tony Stark immediately said to Eva.

"Do you feel like a pervert?" Scott Lang asked from the side, sounding quite experienced.

Chapter 258 This super idiot is Iron Man, can you believe it?

"Pervert? Why would you call him a pervert? He's just weird." Tony Stark looked at Scott Lang with a strange expression. "You haven't been thinking about anything perverted, have you?"

“Absolutely not! You’ve misunderstood!” Scott Lang waved his hands repeatedly, denying it.

"Sir!"

Eva was quite obedient; upon hearing Tony Stark's words, she immediately changed her tune and greeted him again.

Tony Stark nodded repeatedly with great satisfaction, and even exclaimed, "Such a cute and obedient robot, I really can't bring myself to dismantle you."

Eva immediately began to tremble, her big eyes wide open in fear.

That's right.

The trembling here is not an exaggeration, but a genuine trembling.

This robot can even shake.

Tony Stark: "..."

“She can tremble and be scared? This robot is so cute.” Scott Lang liked it more and more as he looked at it. “Stark, if you were to take apart such a cute little thing, it would really seem like you’re a pervert.”

Tony Stark, however, remained unconvinced. "In my eyes, it's just a specific action under a program command."

Eva, he's determined to tear it down!

Whether it's anti-gravity technology or the unique connection method between Eva's various components, these are technologies that Tony Stark must figure out.

[Answer complete. Answer explanation to begin!]

At this moment, the system notification sounded, the original text on the big screen began to disappear, and a new video appeared.

Everyone stopped their discussion for the time being and turned their attention to the big screen.

Inside a base reminiscent of World War II, Captain America and Tony Stark, disguised as a soldier and a scholar respectively, were discussing something.

"You obviously weren't really born here, were you?" Tony Stark asked Captain America with a hint of curiosity.

"It's the birthplace of my concept!" Captain America replied.

Clearly, this is the birthplace of "Captain America," but not the birthplace of Steve Rogers.

“Okay, if you were S.H.I.E.L.D., operating a quasi-Federal intelligence agency, where would you hide it?” Tony Stark asked again with a serious expression.

This "it" naturally refers to the Cosmic Cube.

The previous deductions were correct: after Tony Stark failed in his mission at the New York Tower, he did not go looking for Loki, but instead made a second time travel.

They traveled to an era when Howard Stark was still alive.

"Right under our noses!"

Captain America's voice rang out, and he spoke meaningfully, gesturing with his chin towards a secret laboratory in front of him.

Tony Stark immediately touched his glasses and began to scan the secret laboratory with his X-ray vision.

The situation inside then became crystal clear.
