American TV series: Start with the little Sheldon's wool

Chapter 664 Trouble
"Perhaps you are right, but my uncle once told me something: With great power comes great responsibility..."

Faced with Tony's ridicule, Peter stubbornly said, "Since God has endowed me with these extraordinary abilities, I feel obligated to use them to benefit more people..."

This is why Spider-Man is called a "good neighbor," and it is also the belief he has always upheld.

“Oh, do I need to praise you? That’s quite an ideal. But before that, I think you should learn to take care of yourself and your family first…” Tony’s usual sharp tongue softened unexpectedly afterward, and he said, “Summer vacation is in a few days, and to prevent you from making the wrong choice, I think it’s necessary for me to keep an eye on you.”

"What?" Peter was not quite sure what was going on.

“Congratulations!” Tony smiled and announced, “Given your lofty ambitions, you have passed my interview and will soon become a summer intern at Stark Industries.”

If Tony had previously wanted to give Peter some preferential treatment out of consideration for Aunt May...

But after listening to their ideas, I was slightly moved.

Therefore, I decided to give the other party a chance.

Becoming a summer intern at Stark Industries not only gave Peter access to more advanced technology, but also provided him with a decent salary.

This would give the little spider the funds to improve its spider suit and web shooters.

"A summer job at Stark Industries?" Peter knew what this meant, and immediately said excitedly, "Thank you, Mr. Stark. I will definitely live up to your expectations..."

As he spoke, he reached out to shake hands with Tony.

Seeing Tony's disgusted expression, she realized, "Sorry, I almost forgot, you're not used to shaking hands with people."

Then, under Tony's even more disdainful gaze, Peter withdrew his hand and stepped forward to give him a gentle hug.

"Really, thank you so much!"

……

After Aunt Mei called out, the three of them went downstairs and had a very ordinary, commoner's dinner.

A low-priced steak, a vegetable salad, a few slices of bread, and a few delicate apple pies.

Then, with Peter and Aunt May watching them go, Tony and Mike, having enjoyed a hearty meal, drove away from Hell's Kitchen.

“You seem to be in a good mood,” Mike suddenly said.

As the cool night breeze of Apple City blew in, Tony, driving his car, was humming an unknown tune.

He looked very relaxed.

"How so?" Tony asked, feigning ignorance.

“Appetite,” Mike explained.

Because of the ingredients, Aunt May's dinner wasn't particularly delicious, but Tony ate it with great relish.

And earlier upstairs, when Peter hugged him, Tony clearly had a chance to avoid it, but he didn't.

All I can say is that while Tony has an eccentric temper, he can also be surprisingly considerate at times.

He truly lives up to his reputation as a "tsundere" guy.

"Maybe. I really like the simple yet happy feeling in Peter's family." Perhaps it was the atmosphere, but Tony was unexpectedly honest for once.

Moreover, today's three experiences have indeed allowed Tony, this prodigy, to understand the lives of ordinary people.

There are both good and bad aspects to it.

“Those street heroes don’t seem to be doing very well. Do you think I should offer them some help…” Tony suddenly said.

The three street heroes I met today were a lawyer, a mercenary, and a high school student.

Especially Wade, who seems to be having a very tough time.

"Forget it, dealing with them would be quite troublesome..." Before Mike could speak, Tony rejected his own idea.

Fundamentally, Tony, as the chosen one of tech giants, is actually unable to empathize much with ordinary people.

Therefore, his pity came quickly and went quickly as well.

……

And so, another half month passed.

During this time, in order to have more "treatments," Tony took Mike to almost every corner of Apple City.

They found many street heroes, including a lone wolf like Luke with the talent of "copper skin and iron bones", as well as anti-heroes like Big Daddy and Hello Kitty, and also "trash" like Kick-Ass.

In terms of their current situation, apart from a very few unscrupulous "outlaws" like Big Daddy and Hello Kitty, the other street heroes are not doing very well.

Especially Scott, the guy who unexpectedly became Ant-Man.

When Mike and Tony found him, he was planning to rob a bank because he couldn't afford his daughter's medical bills.

In some ways, it's quite similar to Deadpool's situation.

Frequent contact with these street heroes who are struggling to make ends meet has rekindled Tony's previous idea of ​​creating a "Street Heroes Mutual Aid Association".

To dispel his dangerous meddlesome thoughts, Tony decided to throw another party that night to change his mood.

This was also a celebration for Mike's move to his new home.

Yes, Mike's villa is already built and he can move in anytime.

“Don’t forget, Mike. You owe me eighteen ‘treatments’ now. How about twenty if we round it up?” Tony, who was preparing to make a big splash at the upcoming party and regain his confidence, reminded Mike with a smile.

“No, only seventeen times. That Kick-Ass guy is definitely not worth even one treatment.” Mike shook his head.

Kick-Ass, the guy who idolized superheroes and dressed himself in a bodysuit to cosplay as a street hero.

Their physical fitness and abilities are even better than those of ordinary people.

Calling him a street hero is a bit of a stretch.

Moreover, Mike has realized that some ordinary street heroes are no longer of much help in improving his abilities.

Continuing the search will only be a waste of time.

Therefore, he has decided to end his collaboration with Tony in the search for street heroes.

"Kick-Ass, who upholds justice, may lack some abilities, but how can he not be considered a hero?" Tony, thinking of his own happy life, was still arguing his point.

Just then, Jarvis, the AI ​​assistant, sent a message: "Mr. Tony, Peter Parker has sent you a video call request."

“Peter? I almost forgot, high school should be on summer vacation by now…” Tony, thinking Peter couldn’t wait to come to Stark Industries for an internship, said to Jarvis, “Open Peter’s communication permissions.”

As the virtual screen opened, Peter's image appeared on the screen.

The situation doesn't look very good.

“Peter, I’ve reminded you to think more about yourself and your family.” Looking at Spider-Man’s figure moving swiftly between skyscrapers on the screen, Tony said coldly, “Are you so eager to put on those pajamas and become a hero?”

"Given your immaturity, I need to reconsider whether you are qualified to be an intern at Stark Industries..."

“No, no, no, Mr. Tony. Please let me explain. I was all set to intern at Stark Industries. This was just an accident…” Peter, frantically running across the rooftop with his phone in hand, explained, “It’s the Punisher. He’s getting revenge on Puzzle. You might not know who Puzzle is, but he’s a gang leader in Hell’s Kitchen…”

"This time, he teamed up with Kingpin to devise the Punisher. Oh, and Daredevil too..."

The video clearly shows Peter being chased by gang members.

Below, there could be the sound of intense firing.

"Daredevil? What happened on your end?" Hearing the bursts of gunfire, Tony couldn't bother scolding Spider-Man anymore.

“Daredevil came to help too. Puzzle and Kingpin teamed up to surround us. Only I escaped the encirclement by using my webs…” Peter said after using his webs to entangle a few gang members who were chasing us. “Anyway, we need help.”

Peter had a very good impression of Tony and Mike from their last meeting, so when he encountered serious trouble, he immediately thought of asking them for help.

Of course, this is a wise approach.

"Tell me where you are now?" The matter was urgent, so Tony didn't waste any more time.

"Hell's Kitchen Central District Building~" Peter started running again, his voice drawn out.

However, everything that needed to be said had been made clear. "Good, hold on for another five minutes, backup will be here soon." Tony had now developed a portable mech, so he could go and test its effectiveness.

After hanging up the video call, he immediately went to the laboratory and donned the briefcase armor with a single click.

"Looks like our activities tonight have changed. Shall we have a race to see who's faster?" Tony, dressed in a cool, bright red suit of armor, defiantly nodded at Mike.

"Are you sure?" Mike reached out and opened a circular portal.

The area opposite was where the Punisher and his group were fighting.

"You're cheating!" Tony was clearly taken aback for a moment, then activated his armor and flew towards the portal, saying, "Because of your cheating, this bet doesn't count. So I didn't lose..."

As the sound faded, Tony was already above the Hell's Kitchen building.

This is considered the lair of Kingpin, the underground "emperor," and you can see many gang members holding submachine guns, chasing Spider-Man.

"Jarvis, activate the aim assist and give our 'friends' a surprise."

"Received, auto-aiming system activated, weapon loaded successfully!"

"Puff puff... puff..."

Having learned from the experience of the alien warriors' human wave tactics last time, Tony equipped his latest suit with a lot of firearms.

It's perfect for cleaning up "minor fish".

Moreover, Stark Industries, which started with weapons, is not lacking in firepower.

As fire serpents spewed from the armor, within seconds, the gang members chasing Spider-Man were all blown to the head.

"Mr. Tony, and Mr. Mike, how did you get here so quickly?" Peter looked at the two men who appeared in the air just in time with surprise.

Peter has only been bitten for a short time and is not yet able to fully unleash his full potential.

Moreover, the equipment he wore, such as the web-shooter, had not been upgraded.

Facing ten armed gang members was already his limit.

Therefore, he looked somewhat disheveled at this moment.

"Now is not the time for idle chatter. Let's talk about the situation below." After confirming that Spider-Man was not injured, Tony got down to business.

At this moment, flashes of light and the sounds of high-explosive grenades could be heard intermittently from the building below, making it sound like a small battle was taking place.

“I don’t know the specifics, I only know that the Punisher and Daredevil stormed into the building…” Peter said with difficulty.

With his spider-sense, he could clearly sense that there was danger inside the building, which is why he chose to ask Tony and Mike for help.

As for the Punisher, he seemed fearless and barged straight into the building.

Daredevil did enter the building, but it seemed more like he was there to support the Punisher.

"Never mind, they're just some gang members..." Tony wasn't too concerned since he hadn't found out about the enemy's firepower. He then said, "Stay behind me and protect yourselves. We're going to rescue your two hero friends."

Tony, who had absolute confidence in his new armor, drew a semi-circular arc in the air and flew towards the building where the battle was taking place.

Also taking off were two small missiles mounted on the shoulders of the armor.

"Boom~Boom~"

Amidst the flames and sounds, two huge holes were blasted into the building, and then Tony, clad in armor, arrived.

After the hero landed, a barrage of gunfire erupted.

"Cool~" Peter exclaimed, watching Tony's dashing figure disappear into the distance.

Then we saw Iron Man being blasted away by a rocket launcher.

"This..." Before Peter's astonishment had faded, he saw Iron Man fall to the ground amidst black smoke.

It truly proves the saying: the more carefree you are when you leave, the more miserable you will be when you return.

“Let’s go, it looks like Tony needs our help too.” Mike shook his head and flew down to Tony’s side.

"Are you alright?" Mike asked Tony, who had gotten up.

"I was careless this time. I didn't expect them to have heavy weaponry..." Tony caught his breath and said, "But with these, they're still a long way from defeating the great Iron Man."

Tony equipped his latest suit with a large number of firearms while also maintaining agility.

This inevitably reduced the armor's protective capabilities.

Fortunately, the armor's built-in shock absorption was quite good, so although Tony looked disheveled after being attacked, he was not actually seriously injured.

Moreover, with preparations made, thanks to the flexibility of the new armor, large weapons like rocket launchers would no longer be able to hit Tony.

By the time Mike entered the building through the hole in the wall, Tony, who had returned earlier, was already inside, relying on the agility of his armor and his own firearms.

They wiped out the gang members on the outer perimeter of the building through hit-and-run tactics.

Further in, they were stopped by a burly man with bone claws on his hands and a mohawk hairstyle.

"Wolverine?"

The weapons on Tony's body had little effect on the burly man; the shallow craters quickly healed.

Instead, the strong man, relying on his powerful physique, withstood the attacks and approached Iron Man.

Amidst the ear-piercing scraping sounds, numerous scratches were left on the Iron Man armor, and the weapon systems were completely destroyed by the bone claws.

The entire process took place in a very short time.

"You know my father? But you're still going to die."

Daken brandished his sharp bone claws and stabbed them toward the chest of the Iron Man armor.

At that critical moment, Mike darted forward and grabbed the bone claw.

"Not bad strength~" After commenting on Daken's strength, Mike asked, "So you're Wolverine's son, do you know where Wolverine and Professor X are?"

[Super Self-Healing (Characteristic)]...[Retractable Bone Claws (Characteristic)]...

[Emotional Manipulation (Characteristic)]...

Based on his abilities, it's almost certain that the burly man in front of us is Wolverine's son.

Compared to Logan, this guy not only has a superior physique, but also the ability to launch mental attacks.

Unfortunately, this ability is of no use to Mike, the number monster.

"If you want to know the answer, go ask in hell!!!" Daken, with a fierce look on his face, violently broke off a bone claw and continued to hammer at Mike.

He appears to be even more animalistic than his father, Logan.

However, his desperate strike was once again easily caught by Mike.

"Fine, I'll see for myself." Finding it troublesome, Mike simply used his [Mind Reading] ability.

Michael sought out mutants solely because he coveted Professor X's telepathic abilities.

As for the wolf offspring in front of us, they are not that important.

Then Mike learned that the burly man in front of him, who called himself Dark Wolverine, was indeed Logan's son.

However, he could not find out where Wolverine and Professor X went from his memory.

Instead, they discovered that the burly man in front of them, Daken, was an absolute villain who had no bottom line when it came to getting his commission, even less so than Deadpool.

He has committed many unforgivable crimes.

Seeing Daken struggling even after being bound, Mike finally used an energy blast to shatter his brain and send him to hell.
