Marvel World New Magneto

"I know two great men, one of which is you, and the other is this young man in front of you."

In 1884, Charles Batchello, the manager of the Paris power plant, wrote this letter to his friend Thomas Edison, in which he recommended a young man from the European continent to him with great enthusiasm. The name is Nikola Tesla.

Batchello and Edison are good friends for many years, and once worked as his assistant, assisting Edison to improve the telephone, demonstrating the microphone invented by Edison on the spot, and supervising the installation of Edison's first complete set of commercial power generation lighting equipment on the Columbia Installing work, they have a deep friendship.But this letter did not have the desired effect. The words in the letter deeply stimulated Edison's proud self-esteem.

"You don't understand American humor." After a period of time, with a rude refusal, Edison pushed out the Tesla that asked for payment, and obtained the young man who spent more than half a year on research, and finally Patent for the invention of a more powerful DC generator.

From that time on, the two geniuses planted the seeds of discord, and the ensuing AC-DC battle was in full swing.

In order to protect his own interests, Edison started a slander campaign against AC and Tesla, using the deaths of a large number of cats and dogs to prove that AC is not safe, and made an electric chair for the federal government to execute heavy sentences This behavior once caused Tesla, who invented alternating current, to suffer a catastrophe.In order to prove that his invention was not dangerous, Tesla passed electric current through his body in front of everyone, lit up the lamp, and even melted the wire, which stunned the reporters present.

Same status gap, similar background experience.Under the impetus of caring people, many people really equated Howard with Edison, and regarded Eric as another genius who was persecuted by vested interests, especially in connection with Tesla's death earlier this year. A public opinion that was very unfavorable to Stark was stirred up.

"Damn Edison. Damn AC-DC war. I didn't do anything at all, how could anyone equate me with that despicable guy." In the headquarters building of Stark Industries, Howard's original elegant image disappeared. In its place was a distraught businessman.

"It's not surprising, Howard," persuaded his partner, Obaday. "Who made us the largest weapon supplier to the military now? Many people are dissatisfied with us. They hope to see us fall. It is best not to get up again. This is just a means to attack us. There is no need Get mad at them."

"But this is ruining my reputation, Obaday." Howard waved his arms vigorously, and walked to the window overlooking the street below. "Not all of our weapons are much better than their counterparts, some are just slightly better in performance, and some are even on par with similar products. The Pentagon is willing to buy our products, except that our quotation is low enough. Another point is that My personal reputation, they value Stark's reputation. That's why they open their pockets, I can't let them beat me on this."

"But they didn't attack by name, they just insinuated from the side." Obaday was very embarrassed, trying to persuade Howard. "I don't think the situation will last long. The other party didn't respond, and I got news from the Ministry of Defense that he has been recruited by the Scientific Strategic Corps. Maybe he will return to Europe soon. When he disappears from the public eye, The enthusiasm of the media will not last long, so we don't need to pay too much attention to it."

"Science Strategy Corps?" Howard frowned. "That small army with multinational participation? I almost forgot that I also accepted the employment there. Maybe I can meet this contemporary Mr. Tesla."

The genius scientist said, with a cold light in his eyes.

Another era.

After some renovations, Tony's seaside mansion finally welcomed its owner back. Now the devastated residence that was destroyed by Roddy and Eric in succession is gone, and Stark's taste has been sublimated again --- lush Among the lush forests, green lawns, steep cliffs and blue waters, a building with a forward-looking concept style was reborn.

Walking into the living room that seemed to be integrated with the sea and sky, and going down the spiral staircase, Pepper came to the laboratory that outsiders thought was the most anticipated, but she was not as expected as others, because there, the owner of this building was already awake Endless struggle for 72 hours.

"Tony?" Before going down the stairs, Pepper saw the man on the sofa at a glance. His head was leaning back on the back of the sofa. The coffee table in front of him was full of old yellowed notebooks, which almost occupied the Most of the sheets are covered, and even the faces of the male masters are also covered with their companions.

"Hi, Pepper." Hearing the call, Tony recovered from the half-dream, he raised his head, and the sleepy tired face was immediately revealed.

"What are you looking at?" Pepper asked suspiciously, she thought Tony was playing with his alloy toys again, who knew he was looking at past documents.

"My father's notes." Tony caught the notebook that fell from his face, and threw it on the coffee table. "Ever since Fury told me about Howard's relationship with S.H.I.E.L.D., I've become interested in his past. You see, my hard work paid off. I found a lot of things I didn't know in the dust-filled archives. thing."

"Including your new elemental engine?" Pepper asked.

"Yes, his design is not perfect, but there are some unique features. I think he must have many secrets waiting for me to discover." Tony nodded and answered.

"What do you want to know?" Pepper looked around the laboratory, only to find that the original Mark V armor was completely abandoned, replaced by something that had never been seen before: a gigantic alloy skeleton, reinforcement for space use Ceramic armor, and polymer parts and more.

Tony didn't explain to her, just leaned tiredly on the sofa and spoke slowly.

"For example, what has he done, how did he connect with agents, and the mysterious things sealed up by the Science and Strategy Corps, the predecessor of S.H.I.E.L.D., I can't wait to learn about them."

This kind of Tony is a little worrying, and Pepper seems to have seen the former him who was often on the verge of anxiety and collapse.

"Don't worry." Seeing his girlfriend's worry, Tony patted Miss Potts' leg and comforted her. "I just want to be stronger, Pepper. I... I don't want to feel that weak feeling like I did last time in Lafayette Cove, and believe me, once enough is enough."

Pepper could understand Tony's feelings, that time Iron Man really lost face in front of the public - the first to rush up.The first to fall.Rescued by Thunderbolt who had conflicts in the past, so many heroes gathered together and failed to eliminate the super virus mutant, and finally others took action to save the situation.

She could really understand Tony's feelings, so she gently stroked Tony's shoulder, and relieved him of his depression with a soft voice.

"That's not your responsibility, and isn't the disaster eliminated by Eric in the end?"

"Well said, but that's the problem." Tony waved his arms depressed. "A teenage girl is being targeted by villains. Of course she will call the police for help. But who am I? I am a superhero, I am Iron Man, I once declared in Congress that I would do everything I can to protect the people, but I turned out to be It's a shameful feeling to be someone who needs to be protected."

"So you have to become stronger." Pepper glanced at the old handwriting, and she completely understood Tony's thoughts.

"Yes. The advantage of human beings lies in wisdom. I admit and am willing to accept the reality that many people are stronger than me. I regard them as the driving force to urge me forward. I can draw endless inspiration from them. Hulk, stone man, strong Ney, Pyro...they all have their strengths but also their flaws, even Reed. He's on a similar path to me, but I'm still confident I'm one step ahead. It's like Edison and Tesla I may not work as hard as him, but I have more inspiration, which is enough to make a decisive difference between us. In addition to Xavier and Magneto, their abilities are also very strange, but I can still find a way to cope - I'm not talking big, I'm just confident."

"In this case, what are you worried about?" Pepper asked with concern, rubbing his shoulder. "I love seeing how confident you are."

"Thank you, me too." Turning sideways, Tony kissed her forehead.

"I see, it's Doctor Strange. He exiled Eric to another dimension. I heard that he is the strongest magician." At this moment, Pepper finally remembered someone, and she clapped her hands and cried out.

But Tony didn't nod, he gave an odd smile.

"No, he's not. I put all the behaviors I learned about him into the database to build a model, plus the news I learned, he only targets one person and has nothing to do with me."

"Then you are targeting..." Pepper was wondering, but she suddenly realized. "Eric? You're crazy, he's our friend."

"I know, I know." Tony waved his hands again and again. "He's saved my life more than once, but...but..."

He used two "buts" in a row to get the words out.

"But he also made me feel ashamed. I will never forget looking up at him at the Hammer Fair and Pelican Island. There was so much of that. I always seemed to be the one who got saved. Sometimes I would I hope to wear the armor under my clothes, or put it on my self-esteem, as if that will make me feel better." Tony finally spoke his mind, which made him feel much better.

"Don't persuade me, Pepper, I'm not trying to be an enemy of Eric, he hasn't come back from the exile space yet. This may be the nature of men, and our nature refuses to admit defeat. Just like Howard, in his notes Mentioned that he also met people who couldn't win no matter what, like me and Eric now, but I don't want to run away like Howard... I don't know how to say it, but I hope you can help I."

Tony said sincerely, and Pepper saw the light of prayer and hope from his eyes, she sighed for a while, and could only agree helplessly.

"Okay, I will take care of the company's affairs, but you should pay attention to rest."

After kissing again for a while, Pepper got up and walked away.

As she walked up the winding staircase, she turned to see Tony picking up Howard's note again. (to be continued~^~)
