American comics start with asking Iron Man a question.

But it was a grenade after all, and Black Widow was still thrown around so hard she was dizzy and almost vomited in her suit. She was so disoriented that she couldn't get up for a while.

Iron Man had already learned his lesson from the grenade launcher once, and now that he saw someone using it again, he couldn't stand it any longer. He immediately found the person using the grenade launcher and flew straight towards them.

The man remained calm and raised his grenade launcher, firing it at Iron Man once more.

However, this time Iron Man dodged to the side, then landed in front of the man and knocked him to the ground with a punch.

While Iron Man dealt with the "Grenade Launcher," the Winter Soldier had already arrived in front of Black Widow, who was slumped on the ground.

"Romanov!"

Iron Man let out a cry of alarm and immediately flew towards Black Widow to rescue her.

Bang bang bang!

Countless bullets rained down from all sides, but Iron Man ignored them, letting the bullets fly towards him as he braved the hail of bullets to fly towards Black Widow.

Even so, Iron Man was still a step too late.

While they were still halfway there, the Winter Soldier had already swung his steel arm and slammed it down on Black Widow.

But no one expected that Black Widow would come to her senses at the crucial moment and suddenly dodge the Winter Soldier's punch.

boom!

The Winter Soldier punched the wreckage of the fighter jet, denting a large chunk of it.

Then, the Winter Soldier deftly pulled out his fist, turned around and continued to punch Black Widow, but Black Widow neither dodged nor avoided, and also threw a fierce punch at the Winter Soldier.

boom!

At that moment, all the kinetic energy absorbed by the Black Panther suit was released, unleashing a terrifying energy shockwave.

The Winter Soldier was sent flying as if he had been struck by a giant iron hammer.

It really flew, not some metaphor or exaggeration; it flew up a distance of several tens of meters before crashing heavily to the ground.

He couldn't get up either.

"Romanov!"

Nick Fury, carrying Captain America on his back, also crawled out of the wreckage of the fighter jet. He glanced in the direction of the enemy fighter jet with his one eye.

Black Widow immediately understood; Nick Fury meant for them to steal the fighter jet and escape.

Now, the opponent's freakish "Iron Arm Man" has temporarily lost his fighting ability, which is a golden opportunity that comes once in a lifetime.

"Stark!"

Black Widow called out to Iron Man, and the two joined forces, covering Nick Fury as they moved toward the enemy's aircraft.

With one wearing Iron Man armor and the other wearing a Black Panther suit, and without the Winter Soldier to stop them, how could the other ordinary armed men be a match for them?

Soon, Iron Man and Black Widow fought their way out and successfully seized a fighter jet.

It was only then that the Winter Soldier caught his breath and got up from the ground, but it was too late.

The stolen fighter jet had already begun to take off and was impossible to stop.

The Winter Soldier made a quick decision and immediately climbed into another fighter jet.

shhhhh!

But Black Widow and her team weren't going to be trifled with. Just as the Winter Soldier's plane took off, they launched a missile.

boom!

The fighter jet was completely engulfed in flames.

Clang!

At that moment, the fighter jet's door was suddenly slammed by a powerful force, and the entire door flew off.

Amidst the blazing fire, the Winter Soldier darted out of the fighter jet and landed steadily on the ground.

He was incredibly dashing and domineering, completely unaffected.

He simply raised his head and coldly watched the fighter jet fly into the sky, growing smaller and smaller.

"shit!"

A furious curse rang out as a burly man ripped off his hood and angrily shouted.

That was none other than the crossbones.

With so many people and such a massive force mobilized, they were ultimately routed, and the mission was a complete failure.

This is unacceptable to the cruciate vertebrae.

"shit!"

Inside the fighter jet.

Nick Fury couldn't help but curse aloud. He glanced behind him instinctively and said, "Who the hell are those Motherfuckers? They caused me to lose twenty elite agents!"

Nick Fury looked extremely grim.

Although the mission to rescue Captain America was successful, all the personnel except for him and Black Widow were lost, resulting in heavy losses.

However, Nick Fury was not a sentimental person. When his men died, so be it. Apart from a moment of anger, he didn't feel much else.

However, this incident sent a very bad signal: how could the mission to rescue Captain America, which was so confidential, have been leaked?

Is it that another group of people have also happened to be eyeing Captain America, or... is there a mole within S.H.I.E.L.D.?

If it's the latter, then things could get quite complicated.

"I just want to know, who exactly is this 'Iron Man'?" Iron Man asked thoughtfully, resting his chin on his hand. His expression was equally grim.

"He is no ordinary person. No human body could possess such amazing strength. Like Captain America, he is a super soldier."

Iron Man said in a deep voice.

“I think I know who he is,” Black Widow said solemnly as she piloted the fighter jet.

"Who is he?" Iron Man immediately asked, staring at Black Widow.

"Many intelligence agencies do not believe in his existence, but those who do believe in him call him the Winter Soldier."

Chapter 046 Mark 7 Armor Blueprints

"Winter Soldier?"

Iron Man raised an eyebrow.

He had never heard of this name before, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face. "Why 'Winter' Soldier? Does this codename have any special meaning?"

However, without knowing anything, Iron Man couldn't possibly analyze anything.

He immediately instructed his AI: "Jarvis...search for any clues about the Winter Soldier."

"Sir, there is no information on the Winter Soldier in the secure network," Jarvis replied to Iron Man after quickly completing the search.

"Activate level one search privileges and continue the search," Iron Man continued without hesitation.

“This may take some time, please be patient, sir…” Jarvis replied.

"He is a ghost; over the past fifty years, he has been identified as the perpetrator of more than twenty assassinations."

At this moment, Black Widow began to introduce Iron Man while piloting the fighter jet.

"The past fifty years?" Iron Man found it unbelievable. "Even if he started missions the moment he was born, he'd be fifty years old now! Is your information reliable?"

“Five years ago, I was escorting a nuclear physicist out of the Middle East when someone shot out my tires near Odessa.”

"The car went out of control and we fell off a cliff... but we eventually escaped, though the Winter Soldier was there at the time."

"I was blocking the engineer, and his bullet went through me and hit the engineer. It was a bullet from the former Soviet Union, and it had no trajectory."

“Tracking him is impossible; I’ve already tried.”

After Black Widow's words, Iron Man fell silent.

Since Black Widow has fought the Winter Soldier, her words are highly credible.

Furthermore, as a senior agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., Black Widow would not have chosen to share this intelligence at this time without a certain degree of certainty.

"So this Winter Soldier is like Captain America?" Iron Man pondered for a moment and came to this conclusion.

In the past, such a thing would have been hard to believe, but now, they are sitting next to someone who has been frozen for seventy years and is still alive.

Believing in the existence of another similar being is not so difficult.

Nick Fury didn't say much, but his expression was extremely grave. The organization behind the Winter Soldier had attacked them, which was not good news.

It can be said that this caught the intelligence chief completely off guard.

"Sir, the relevant data on the Winter Soldier has been deciphered."

After a brief silence inside the fighter jet, Iron Man received the good news from Jarvis.

He perked up immediately: "Send them all to my phone."

One message after another appeared on Iron Man's phone screen, all of them information about the Winter Soldier's attacks on various American intelligence agencies, related organizations, and the military.

Iron Man glanced through it briefly, his face showing astonishment: "This guy really is a ghost!"

Unfortunately, in the very limited number of videos and photos taken, the Winter Soldier is always seen wearing his distinctive mask.

Its true nature has never been revealed.

It's worth mentioning that not all information about the Winter Soldier has been made available online; some older information is stored on paper or in memory.

For example, the video of the Winter Soldier killing Iron Man's parents.

Therefore, Iron Man has not yet found that crucial video clip.

To Iron Man, the Winter Soldier is now merely a terrifying assassin from a mysterious organization, nothing more.

"Stark, could you send me a copy of those documents?" Nick Fury said to Iron Man from the side.

There was naturally no problem with that. Iron Man immediately instructed Jarvis to send some information about the Winter Soldier to Nick Fury.

Nick Fury also began to stare at his one eye, examining it closely.
