Reborn in Marvel, I am Iron Man's son?

"Someone! Investigate the details of Payne Films. I need to know how they obtained so much confidential information."

Lieutenant General Ross summoned his adjutant and gave him the order.

"Yes, Lieutenant General!"

The other party immediately gave a respectful military salute, then turned and left.

Mark was unaware that despite his efforts to reduce the amount of classified information in the film, he still managed to attract the attention of those with ulterior motives.

He has now resumed his usual routine, flying into outer space during the day to collect sunlight and returning at night to handle company affairs.

He occasionally transforms into Superman, flying rapidly over Los Angeles.

Because of his presence, gangs and criminal organizations in the Los Angeles area either moved to other places or kept a low profile.

As a result, the safety situation in Los Angeles has improved significantly, and Mark has reduced the frequency of his patrols accordingly.

Even so, as more and more people have seen Superman, the Federation has gradually been unable to suppress the spread of Superman news on the internet.

More and more people believe in the existence of Superman.

That evening, after returning from outer space, Mark made his usual rounds in Los Angeles.

He suddenly saw a wildfire burning near the Wilson Mountains, forty kilometers away.

The raging flames have already covered an area with a radius of about three kilometers, and are continuing to spread outwards with the wind.

Many houses along the way have been engulfed by wildfires.

Mark could clearly see a large number of vehicles fleeing into the distance.

Los Angeles is too big, with a population of nearly ten million in the metropolitan area, and fires can happen every few days.

However, wildfires of this magnitude are still quite rare.

Without hesitation, Mark flew rapidly towards the direction of the burning fire.

Once he reached the airspace above the wildfire, Mark lowered his altitude to below 100 meters and then exhaled a breath of cold air towards the burning jungle below.

Under the cover of a low temperature of -150 degrees Celsius, the temperature of the burning shrubs and tree trunks below dropped sharply below their ignition point, and the flames were quickly extinguished.

As Mark flew, he exhaled cold air downwards.

The burning jungle below gradually died down, and a thick layer of frost covered the charred tree trunks.

The cold air he exhaled came into contact with the high temperature of the fire, producing a large amount of white vapor that enveloped the nearby hills.

"Hey, what's going on over there? The flames seem to be going out!"

"Could it be that the firefighters arrived so quickly? But there's no way they could put out the wildfire so fast!"

"..."

At the foot of the mountain, many people saw the wildfire gradually dying down and began to discuss it.

Chapter 137 Contact with S.H.I.E.L.D.

"Let's go take a look!"

Upon learning of the wildfire in the Wilson Mountains, Coulson immediately led his team by car and sped toward the fire.

If Superman learns of such a large-scale wildfire outbreak and is certain to arrive, he is very likely to make contact with the other party.

Coulson had tried this method before, rushing to the disaster site hoping to wait for the perpetrators to fall into his trap.

However, the disasters were not very large, and Superman could easily handle them. By the time Coulson arrived with his men, Superman had already left.

Mark had circled the wildfire once and extinguished the outer perimeter, leaving only the central area remaining.

The wildfire burning in the middle has been effectively contained, making it very difficult for it to continue spreading outwards.

Fortunately, Mark raised his Super Physique to LV12, which greatly increased the upper limit of solar energy stored in his body's cells, allowing him to persist for so long.

Even so, Mark has already used up most of his energy.

Firefighters who received the alarm had already arrived in more than ten large fire trucks.

After the isolation was completed, the danger of the wildfire was greatly reduced, and firefighters and fire trucks were able to extinguish the remaining fire.

Mark immediately prepared to fly away from here, and would fly into the sky first thing tomorrow morning to replenish his depleted energy.

"Mr. Superman, can we talk?"

Just then, Mark heard a man's voice coming from the foot of the mountain more than ten miles away.

He looked in the direction the sound came from and saw a middle-aged man on the road holding a megaphone, shouting in his direction: "Mr. Superman, I know you can hear me, can you come over and talk?"

"You came here specifically to see me?"

Judging from their behavior, Mark guessed that they were from an official organization.

Those underground forces that can't be brought to the light of day generally behave more furtively.

After a moment's thought, Mark flew toward the other party's location.

It was already dark, but in the glow of the wildfire, Coulson still spotted Mark flying low towards them.

He put down the megaphone, straightened his collar, and waited for his first encounter with this Mr. Superman.

Mark quickly arrived at Coulson's location and slowly landed in front of him from the air.

The four S.H.I.E.L.D. agents standing behind Coulson were tense, their faces showing signs of nervousness.

There was no way around it; Mark's intimidating presence was simply too strong for them!

In their S.H.I.E.L.D. files, this person, dressed in a bodysuit and wearing a red cape and resembling Superman, is completely different from the Superman in the comics.

In the comics, Superman has a no-killing rule; he will never kill if he can capture someone.

The person in front of me looks and has abilities very similar to Superman, but he wiped out an entire criminal gang in New York.

Nick Fury defined him in his file as an extremely dangerous person.

The fact that these S.H.I.E.L.D. agents didn't turn around and run away in fear when they saw Mark shows how strong their mental fortitude is.

Coulson behaved normally, and Mark only noticed that Coulson's heartbeat quickened slightly, indicating that he had a strong mental fortitude.

"Hello Mr. Superman, I'm Coulson from the Strategic Defense, Attack and Logistics Agency—you can also call it S.H.I.E.L.D. It's nice to meet you."

Coulson smiled sincerely and praised Mark, "According to our investigation, since Mr. Superman appeared, the crime rate in Los Angeles has decreased by 67%, and it continues to decline."

"Furthermore, you frequently rescue people from various dangers, and in addition, you extinguished this massive wildfire. Your contributions to this city are evident to all, and I believe the people of Los Angeles will always remember you."

Coulson's words sounded very sincere, without any flattery or fawning, making it hard not to like him.

However, after Mark learned that the other party was Coulson from S.H.I.E.L.D., he understood that they must have had another purpose in coming to see him, and they were not just here to flatter him.

Moreover, he did so much not to gain the gratitude of the people of Los Angeles, but because he had already made this place his own territory.

"Coulson, what brings you here?"

Mark interrupted the other person's flattery and asked directly.

"Uh……"

Coulson, who was interrupted, showed no embarrassment and maintained a polite and appropriate smile: "Mr. Superman, I'm here on behalf of S.H.I.E.L.D. to inquire where you come from and what your purpose is in coming to Earth."

Nick Fury had come into contact with extraterrestrial life and knew about the existence of parallel universes, so he guessed that the Superman that Mark had transformed into was likely from an alien or another world, otherwise it would have been impossible for Earth to have had no information about him before.

That is why Nick Fury has always been highly wary of Superman.

His purpose in having Coulson contact Superman was to find out the purpose of Superman's appearance and to test whether he posed a threat to Earth.

"Where I come from is not important. As for my purpose, haven't you all seen it? During this time, I have been constantly fighting evil, eliminating disasters, and saving innocent people. That is my purpose!"

Mark said in a flat tone.

He knew Nick Fury's suspicious nature; no matter what he said, the other party would most likely not believe him.

His current goal is to first establish a stance with the other party, allowing both sides to coexist peacefully before he actually does anything that harms the Earth.

With Mark's current abilities, he doesn't need to fear S.H.I.E.L.D.

However, Nick Fury still holds a trump card: the pager that allows him to contact Captain Marvel.

Captain Marvel possesses cosmic-level combat power, which is far beyond what Mark can currently match.

If Nick Fury believed that Mark posed a deadly threat to Earth, he could recall Captain Marvel at any time.

Therefore, Mark needs to keep a low profile until he has the strength to fight Captain Marvel.

"Of course we believe in your character, Mr. Superman, that you would not do anything to harm humanity."

Coulson gave Mark a trusting look, took out a business card and handed it to Mark: "This is my business card. If you ever encounter any difficult situations, Mr. Superman, please don't try to handle them yourself. You can contact S.H.I.E.L.D. for help."

Mark knew that Coulson was alluding to his killing of the men in New York and the meeting with them.

"Okay, I'll contact you if I need anything in the future."

Mark nodded and took the business card from the other person.

If Mark could get S.H.I.E.L.D. to help him solve some problems, it would save him a lot of trouble.

"Hmm? There seems to be something wrong with this business card..."

Chapter 138 Super Management Department

Mark took the business card and was about to leave when he suddenly frowned.

He could detect a very faint chemical smell on the business card.

Although the scent is very faint, it can linger on the object for a long time, making it ideal for odor tracking.

"If S.H.I.E.L.D. truly wants to cooperate, I hope you'll refrain from using these underhanded tactics in the future."

Mark wrote down the phone number on the business card, then pinched the card between two fingers and tossed it toward Coulson across from him.

"laugh!"

With his immense power, the paper business card was instantly accelerated to an extremely high speed, emitting a sharp whistling sound as it passed by Coulson's ear.

"boom!"

The business card left a small, bloody scratch on Coulson's cheek before embedding itself deep into the window of the car behind him.

After doing all this, Mark took to the air and quickly disappeared into the night sky.

"call……"

After Mark's figure disappeared, Coulson hurriedly took out a handkerchief and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Just a moment ago, he felt death approaching.

Fortunately, Mark only gave a warning and didn't actually intend to kill him.

"We really can't let our guard down when dealing with organizations like S.H.I.E.L.D."

Back at Payne Manor, Mark was still thinking about his encounter with Coulson.

Fortunately, the tracking scent left by the other party disappeared completely after Mark used his heat vision to burn it away.

January passed quickly.

Over the past month, the popularity of the Captain America movie in the United States has continued to rise, and its box office has now exceeded $12 billion, breaking various box office records.

Major television stations, newspapers, and the internet are spontaneously reporting news about this movie every day.

Moreover, the film has begun to be released in various European and Asian countries, where it has also caused quite a stir.

However, people from other countries do not have the same special feelings for Captain America as people from their own country.

They treated it as just another Hollywood blockbuster, so its box office performance was naturally far inferior to that in the United States.

Rosalie, who was originally only a third-tier star, has risen to the status of a second-tier star after the movie became a hit.

Now, wherever she goes, she can be recognized by people who have seen the movie.

The other person may not know her real name, but they can call her by the name of the character she played in the movie, Peggy Carter.

Rosalie had never received such treatment before, and she had been beaming with joy and extremely happy these past few days.

"Boss, two mutant friends from San Diego just contacted me. They also want to join our Payne Film Company. What do you think we should do?"

That evening, Brian called Mark and said...
