Marvel Brodcast : Spoiling Spider-man

"I thought he was going to put on the Mark 42 and have another epic battle with Killian! Instead we get... that," Steve Rogers looked at the embarrassing scene with a mixture of disappointment and secondhand embarrassment.

"Hahaha, I didn't see that coming!" Everyone erupted in laughter at Tony's misfortune. Clearly, nothing brought them more joy than witnessing Tony Stark's moments of humiliation.

Tony himself was visibly upset. He didn't need to guess that countless people across the multiverse were laughing at his expense. Despite his numerous achievements, somehow he always managed to provide comic relief for the entire world.

Fortunately, in his reality, Killian's body had been completely destroyed, so he wouldn't have to relive this particular embarrassment again.

After yesterday's press conference, most people had accepted that Killian was dead, and Tony had announced his plans to help Maya Hansen perfect the Extremis virus.

After all, such technology couldn't be kept secret forever. Instead of allowing wild speculation, Tony preferred to address it openly. His status as the future savior of humanity shielded him from most potential threats.

Moreover, Banner was essentially inseparable from him these days. Even if something went wrong, the Hulk could intervene—provided that the Hulk didn't decide to attack Tony himself...

[Killian shook his head and sneered: "You really don't deserve her, Tony! It's such a waste. I'm going to make her... perfect!"]

[After delivering this threat, he leaped down and landed directly in front of Tony. Tony quickly backpedaled and said, "Okay! Okay! Wait! Wait! Wait! Wait! You're right! I don't deserve her!"]

[Seeing Tony admit his unworthiness, Killian's face lit up with satisfaction. In his mind, he had finally defeated Tony Stark.]

[But after taking a breath, Tony continued: "But you're wrong about one thing—she already is perfect!"]

[Before Killian could advance, Tony remotely activated the Mark 42. Killian, assuming Tony intended to don the armor himself, raised his fist to attack.]

[However, Tony had other plans. Instead of summoning the armor to himself, he directed the Mark 42 to assemble around Killian. The armor latched onto Killian at full power, its thrusters activating and pinning him against the wall, immobilizing him completely.]

[Killian struggled desperately, attempting to increase his body temperature and break free, but to no avail.]

[Tony looked at the trapped Killian and calmly instructed: "Jarvis, set the Mark 42 to self-destruct." Then he jumped onto a nearby pillar and slid down to safety.]

[Killian heard Tony's command and shouted in rage: "NO!!!" But before he could finish, the Mark 42's faceplate slammed into place, silencing his protest.]

[The armor exploded with tremendous force, destroying the entire platform. Tony leaped away a split second before the pillar collapsed beneath him.]

[Jarvis promptly directed the Mark 15 Sneaky to fly beneath Tony, successfully catching him mid-fall. However, due to the suit's damaged state, Tony couldn't stabilize himself with the thrusters and crashed to the ground, sliding across the platform.]

[He sliced through several railings along the way before managing to grab hold of one, narrowly avoiding plummeting into the sea below.]

[As the platform above had been destroyed, Tony's position began to tilt downward. He was forced to let go, using the remaining thruster on one foot to cushion his fall. The impact scattered the remaining pieces of the Sneaky armor.]

[The damaged upper platform continued to crumble, raining debris down around him. Tony lay on the ground, instinctively covering his head with his arms.]

[The Mark 42's faceplate also fell nearby. Tony stood up and looked at it, watching as it cracked open under the intense heat. He raised his head to survey the destruction.]

"Is it over? He should be dead, right?" The second generation Harry stood up anxiously and turned to the second generation Dr. Connors. He was deeply interested in the Extremis virus and wanted to know if Killian could possibly survive such a catastrophic explosion.

Connors frowned thoughtfully. He knew that Killian, infused with the Extremis virus, was resistant to extreme temperatures, but whether the sheer force of the explosion could kill him was another question entirely.

Faced with Harry's question, he could only admit his uncertainty. He couldn't guarantee whether Killian's body could withstand the impact without disintegrating completely. If any part remained intact, the Extremis virus might still be able to regenerate him.

[At that moment, movement stirred within the flames ahead. Tony narrowed his eyes, focusing on the silhouette that rose from the inferno.]

[It was Killian. He had survived the Mark 42's self-destruction. The Extremis virus had tenaciously repaired most of his body.]

[Killian's charred outer skin continued to slough off, revealing glowing red tissue beneath as he staggered toward Tony.]

[Tony was shocked to see Killian still alive and began to back away in alarm, his movement hindered by the remnant of the Sneaky armor still attached to one foot.]

["You wanted the Mandarin? You wanted the Mandarin? I AM the Mandarin! It's always been me, Tony! From the very beginning! I AM THE MANDARIN!!!"]

[Killian stood before Tony, roaring in triumph, but the next second he was violently knocked aside.]

[The camera panned to reveal Pepper, her skin glowing with Extremis energy, wielding a steel pipe as she stood there breathing heavily.]

[Tony sat frozen in shock, staring at Pepper for several seconds before managing to say, "I got nothing."]

[At that moment, another armor flew in from above—the Mark 9! It quickly scanned and locked onto both Killian, who was struggling to his feet, and Pepper, who stood nearby.]

["Jarvis, the target at my 12 o'clock is not a hostile! Disengage!!!" Tony realized the danger and immediately shouted an override command.]

[But he discovered that his earpiece had fallen away in the chaos, and Jarvis couldn't hear his instructions.]

[Mark 9 fired a repulsor blast at Pepper, who nimbly dodged sideways. She watched as the armor circled overhead, preparing for another attack run.]

[She glanced at Tony, who was still sitting on the ground. When he noticed her looking at him, he froze momentarily and asked, "What? Oh! What? Are you mad at me?" Pepper suddenly rushed toward him, causing Tony to flinch back in alarm.]

[But she merely used his knee as a springboard, launching herself upward with incredible strength. With perfect precision, she drove her fist straight through the Mark 9's arc reactor and landed gracefully on the ground.]

[Without pausing, she extracted her arm from the suit, then grabbed the Mark 9's detached limb and swung it around, striking Killian with a powerful elbow as he charged toward her, sending him flying backward.]

[Tony couldn't help but exclaim in amazement. At that moment, one of Mark 9's micro-missiles dropped to the ground. Spotting it instantly, Pepper kicked it toward the recovering Killian.]

[As Killian rose and rushed toward her once more, Pepper fired a precise repulsor blast from the armor piece she held, detonating the missile directly in Killian's face. The resulting explosion was catastrophic, reducing Killian to ashes.]
