American comics: I became a god at the beginning, I chose to practice both science and magic

At this point he frowned: "I originally had a task I wanted to give you..."

Hawkeye looked down at his injuries and said helplessly, "My injuries aren't serious, but I can't use much strength for the time being."

His special skill is his accurate archery, but drawing the bow requires the participation of the chest muscles. He has injured these muscles now, so he is definitely unable to carry out the mission.

So Hawkeye thought about it and said, "Nick, can we let Natasha carry out this mission?"

"She?" Nick hesitated at first, but after thinking for a while, his brows relaxed.

His paranoia also has its time. Now SHIELD is in need of people, and intelligence experts like Natasha are indeed what they lack.

Since Hawkeye has already verified it, he might as well put a little more trust in it.

"Okay, since you said so, let her do this task."

Hawkeye smiled. If Natasha wanted to integrate into S.H.I.E.L.D. as soon as possible, she had to accumulate merits as soon as possible.

As long as she has enough merits, no one will be able to use her identity to make trouble in the future...

Soon, Natasha, whose abdominal injury was almost healed, received a new task from S.H.I.E.L.D.

The last time she met her was Agent Hill, who was considered one of Nick's more trusted assistants, but this time, it was Nick Fury who met her in person.

Natasha saw the one-eyed man in a black leather coat in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.

"Natasha Romanoff, you completed this mission very well."

Natasha is an old movie queen, and her expression is disguised perfectly. Just a faint smile shows both happiness and strong confidence.

Nick nodded secretly in his heart.

"You just completed a mission and you're injured, so I shouldn't assign you a mission so soon, but Barton strongly recommended you..."

Natasha's expression turned serious. "My injury doesn't affect my actions. Please tell me the mission."

Seeing her performance, Nick felt that the friendship between her and Hawkeye was indeed deep, and he was even more satisfied, so he told her the content of the mission.

"A few days ago, Tony Stark disappeared in the Middle East. Our people found out that this was probably an organized and premeditated kidnapping."

"Tony Stark? That playboy?" Natasha had done some research during this period and had some understanding of this person.

After all, he is in almost every piece of gossip.

Nick nodded expressionlessly, “Our people have found out that the time of Stark’s kidnapping is likely related to Obadiah Stane, and he is very likely to know Stark’s whereabouts.

Natasha, your mission is to get close to him and find out Stark's whereabouts from him."

"As what do I approach him?"

Nick handed her a file bag and she opened it to see her personal profile inside.

"Obadiah is hiring a secretary now. I've created a perfect resume for you. Come for the interview today!"

Because Stark Group lost Pepper, it was difficult for Obadiah to manage the entire group company alone. He now regretted agreeing to her resignation.

After all, Pepper's abilities are indeed very strong.

Obadiah was now a little overwhelmed. He tried his best but still failed to stop the stock price from plummeting.

A company with Tony Stark is completely different from a company without him. This makes Obadiah even more jealous. Isn't he just a little smarter, but he is still played in his hands?

After Natasha took on the task, she went for an interview very quickly. With her good looks and strong working ability, she was quickly hired.

Obadiah finally got some time off from his busy work schedule and finally had time to negotiate with those bastards in the Middle East.

You know, when he paid the money, he asked for Tony Stark's life. Now those despicable bastards actually let him live secretly. Obadiah was very dissatisfied with this.

"This seems to conflict with the content of our deal?"

"Sir, when you issued the mission, you never said that the person you wanted us to kill was Tony Stark!"

"What do you want?"

"A living Stark is more valuable than a dead Stark. He will continue to produce weapons for us, so we will not kill him."

Obadiah's expression remained unchanged, but his fists were clenched tightly.

These bastards, all deserve to die!

Chapter 717 Tony's Awakening

At the same time, Tony Stark began his journey of cheating.

Perhaps it was the suffering that finally calmed his mind, and something he had never thought about before, "miniaturization of the Ark reactor", now emerged from his mind like a butterfly emerging from its cocoon.

With Ethan's help, he regained his confidence and had an idea of how to use his talents to get out of his current predicament.

The Ark Reactor is a technology that Stark Group already had. Although it is difficult to miniaturize it, it is nothing to the cheating Tony. He was aiming to make the Iron Man suit from the beginning.

The miniaturization of the reactor is only to equip the suit with a powerful power source. Strictly speaking, the Iron Man suit is the real crystallization of Tony Stark's wisdom.

In order to obtain high-tech weapons, the terrorists in the Middle East responded to Tony's every request, and their attitude was quite good in the past few days.

But when he used those expensive materials and only managed to make the "small battery" in his chest, he was unsurprisingly beaten up.

The Middle Eastern man, disguised as a small leader of the Ten Rings Gang, stared coldly at Tony, who was lying on the ground. "I treat you with sincerity because I respect talent, but don't test my patience."

Tony's face was covered in blood, and he raised his head as the minions grabbed his hair. Although he looked disheveled, his eyes showed no sign of concealing his mockery.

He knew that the other party would never be cruel to him because they needed him to make weapons.

The small chief's eyes became even more gloomy when he saw this, but he was experienced in this matter. In fact, there was no shortage of tough guys in the war-torn area. What's more, this was a place of faith. There were many people who were not afraid of death in a place that could create a "human bomb".

To deal with such people, you have to find their weak spots.

So the little leader said sinisterly: "Very good, you are a tough guy. I admire people with courage, but I wonder if Dr. Ethan is as courageous as you."

As he spoke, the other two minions carried Ethan, who was covered in blood, in and threw him directly to the ground.

Ethan didn't move.

Tony roared angrily and struggled to get up, but was pinned down by the two men on him.

A hint of pride flashed in the little leader's eyes. To kill a person, you must strike him in the most vulnerable part.

During the time when Tony almost died, it was Ethan who performed surgery on him and saved his life.

The other party is his savior!

And from the perspective of the original movie, Ethan is the guide who leads Tony on the road to heroism. Although the two have known each other for a short time, they have long been close friends who appreciate each other.

The little boss didn't say anything more and brought the half-beaten Ethan to Tony, which was already enough to overcome any threat.

"Next time, I want to see a real weapon, not a rotten battery. If Mr. Stark can't satisfy me, I won't make things difficult for you, but Dr. Ethan will bear my wrath on your behalf. Do you understand?"

Tony could only bow his head and surrender, but a flame of anger was already burning in his heart.

He decided that he not only had to escape from here, but also had to eliminate these scumbags!

On the other side, Dane, Mi Ziren and Drake were sent to a low-key biotechnology and engineering laboratory.

This laboratory is jointly invested by Dane and Norman Oscar in their personal capacity, and its main activities are biological genetic science research and human clinical trials.

After the two reached an energy cooperation and formed a business alliance, Dane quickly delivered the complete super soldier serum to Norman.

In fact, Norman's "human enhancement" project has achieved very good results, but the side effects are always difficult to eliminate.

This side effect is actually what Dr. Abraham Erskine once said to Steve Rogers - "Good people get better, and bad people get worse."

It’s just that Norman’s human enhancement reagent has more significant side effects, and can even directly catalyze the emergence of a second evil personality.

Ultimately, it is because the serum only strengthens the human body, but after ordinary people have been strengthened, their qualities in all aspects have already been separated from those of ordinary people, and it is easy for them to become mentally unbalanced.

Not everyone can accept letting a weak person stand over their head and give them orders. Steve became a little dizzy for a while. If Carter hadn't shot him a few times, he might not have come to his senses so quickly.

Few people are able to control their own minds and find a balance between the surging power and the actual social status.

This is also why some superhumans are superheroes and some are supervillains.

Once people have the ability, whether to maintain the existing order or break the old order depends entirely on their personal cultivation, which is related to human nature.

Therefore, this side effect cannot be completely eliminated. As long as human body enhancement is successfully carried out, it is difficult for the experimenters not to feel superior.

However, the complete serum can at least prevent the growth of dark personalities and eliminate the subjects' mania and violent tendencies. These symptoms actually have organic lesions and can be adjusted through genetic engineering.

With the supplement of complete super soldier serum, a human enhancement reagent with no side effects was finally produced and can enter the human trial stage.

To this end, Norman used his connections to buy a group of death row prisoners from a private prison and began the experiment...

That day, Norman walked into Dane's office in high spirits.

"You seem to be in a good mood. Was the human experiment successful?"

Norman nodded vigorously, feeling quite proud.

During this period, because the human enhancement project was not progressing smoothly, there were already complaints about him within the company.

As for General Ross, because he accidentally created a monster like the Hulk, he is now indifferent to Osborn Enterprises. Norman is actually under a lot of pressure.

His genetic disorder can't wait much longer, and if it weren't for Dane's help, Norman might soon develop major psychological problems.

But now, with the success of the official product, the dark cloud hanging over his heart has finally dissipated.

He sat down on another sofa chair without any hesitation, and the joy on his face could not be stopped.

Dane glanced at it and uttered a few congratulations calmly.

His research during this period has also yielded good results. First of all, he has thoroughly studied the abilities of the Purple Man, and he is now able to produce the corresponding volatile hormones himself, thus increasing the power of his voice.

He is now able to completely hypnotize specific targets and make them do whatever they want, but the distance limit still exists.

He had previously traveled to Hungary in person, also with the intention of demonstrating his experimental capabilities.

Derekoff was brought back like a puppet without even seeing him, and this was his achievement.

Although he had brought the person back, Dane did not immediately set out to look for the Black Widows. He knew that there were still some valuable things on Drakev that had not been taken away.

In this world, all the established intelligence organizations have their own ways of brainwashing their subordinates. Hydra's Winter Soldier brainwashes through hypnosis and electric shock; S.H.I.E.L.D. brainwashes people by exporting ideology and painting big pictures.

Drakev also has his own way. He uses a synthetic chemical reagent to control the brains of all the black widows, and with the psychological shadow left by long-term training, he makes these black widows obey his orders.

And Drakev also did something very cool. He made a "lock" on his own pheromones, so that all Black Widows would subconsciously stop their violent behavior when facing him, and would also fear him deep in their subconscious.

This allows him to kill any Black Widow at will without being armed.

Chapter 718 Melina Vosikoff

Dane gained a lot of useful information from Drakev.

The Red House uses a chemical compound developed by themselves to control Black Widow, which can permanently change the structure of part of the human brain and modify the self-cognitive system.

The basis of this technology actually comes from a study by Hydra.

In 1995, Red Guardian Alexi Shostakov and former Soviet spy Melina Vosskov lurked in Ohio and stole a basal ganglia cell blueprint from a S.H.I.E.L.D. base (actually a Hydra base).

Hydra has always been committed to depriving people of their sense of freedom, and through various means, trying to make everyone abide by the so-called "absolute order".

The basal ganglia cell blueprint is their attempt to control humans physiologically.

Since human behavior depends on the brain, is it possible to achieve absolute control over a person's body and personality by directly controlling the human brain?

At that time, the Winter Soldier, Hydra's strongest fighter, often acted against orders because his brainwashing skills were not sophisticated enough.

Take Bucky as an example. He has undergone forced memory erasure surgery more than once because he often awakens memory fragments during work, thus affecting his mission.

Memory erasure surgery is a technology invented by Dr. Zola in the 1940s and 1950s. It has been proven that it cannot completely erase memories, but only covers them with new memories. However, fake memories are fake after all, and they will easily become ineffective over time.

To better control these warriors, Hydra scientists dissected countless brains to create the world's first and only blueprint of human basal ganglia cells.

It is the cognitive center of the brain, and all autonomous movements and procedural learning rely on it. At that time, Hydra scientists claimed that this was a key to unlocking free consciousness.

And they have already taken one foot into the door of dominating the world.

But this "key" was stolen by the Red House. Melina Voss used this blueprint as a basis for Kov to invent a chemical agent that specifically targets specific brain areas and can artificially modify brain cognition.

After being transformed by this drug, the transformed person will completely obey all orders of the commander, even if it means asking the subject to give up breathing, he will execute it without compromise.

This can no longer be considered deep hypnosis. Dane thought about it carefully and realized that this was just a mental stamp.

Wow, this is even better than the Purple Man’s hormone hypnosis. People who are deeply transformed by this drug can last longer than hypnosis.

Dane wondered if this was God's will. This solved the distance problem of hormonal hypnosis.

However, Drakev also frankly admitted the disadvantage of this chemical reagent under hypnosis, that is, it must be intervened when the experimenter is young, and it takes a long time to transform the brain.
