Marvel: Starting with the forced creation of villainous characters

After the battle was over, Sharon Carter said expressionlessly, "Let's go, it's our turn to clean up the mess."

The agent holding the gun quickly got up and followed Sharon Carter out of the rooftop.

It was called cleaning up the site, but it was actually about recycling the Iron Monger's steel mechs. Good stuff like that was naturally first come, first served.

Sharon Carter had her people retrieve the steel armor from Obadiah's body, as well as the already destroyed Arc Reactor.

As for Obadiah's body...

Sharon Carter wasn't interested. After confirming the person was dead, she took them to the funeral home and told Potts the location.

The next morning, after finishing her work, Sharon Carter went to Mark's house again.

When Sharon Carter arrived, Mark prepared breakfast for her, knowing that this strong woman must have come without having eaten breakfast.

That is indeed the case.

Sharon Carter absolutely loved the breakfasts Mark prepared, not because Mark's breakfasts were particularly delicious, but simply because the person who made them was extraordinary.

This is like a respectable American son eating breakfast personally prepared by the American emperor.

Mark waited until the other person finished breakfast before slowly saying, "Obadia is dead. From today onwards, all of Obadiah's assets belong to Emma. I hope you can hold these shares on Emma's behalf."

"No problem, is there anything else I can do?" Sharon Carter asked after wiping her mouth.

"You need to hurry up with the arms deal. And do you know any high-ranking Marines officers?" Mark continued.

Upon hearing this, Sharon Carter glanced at Mark without changing her expression. She hadn't expected Mark to be so eager to extend his reach into the military so quickly.

Sharon Carter countered, "You want to work with them?"

Mark chuckled and said, "The military needs Stark's weapons, even if those weapons are no longer being upgraded."

Mark didn't say one more thing: the Marine Corps needs advanced weapons. Whether it's the Navy, the Army, or the Air Force, the composition of those armies is too complex. Even if he intervenes, he can only control a small part of it.

But the Marine Corps is different. It's an army made up of good American men, and it's subordinate to the president. As long as he can control the president, he can remotely control this army.

All he needs to do is support a president to take office and then take control of S.H.I.E.L.D., and the game of power will go from hard mode to easy mode.

Secretly controlling America was just the beginning; after all, his goal was the stars and the sea, even the multiverse.

"The Marine Corps' budget has always been limited; they're not as generous as other military branches," Sharon Carter cautioned.

"That's alright. For the greater good, some gains and losses can be disregarded," Mark said calmly.

"For the greater good..." Sharon Carter repeated the sentence softly.

Sharon Carter seemed convinced by this statement, but she still couldn't help but add, "This army is very pure; they only obey the president."

"So we need an obedient president." Mark handed the tablet computer to the other person.

"I need you to use the power of S.H.I.E.L.D. to collect all the dirt on this person, and even create incriminating evidence against him." Mark pushed the tablet in front of Sharon Carter.

Sharon Carter's pupils contracted when she saw the information on the tablet.

Barack Obama!

As a reborn person, she knew this person all too well.

He will be elected President of the United States a year later, and will step down three years later due to the New York incident. Then, Matthew Ellis, the puppet president supported by Mark, will take office.

She clearly remembered that she was reborn right after Matthew Ellis was elected, but according to the intelligence that S.H.I.E.L.D. had obtained before, Barack O'Hama and Mark should not have had any connection.

"They've really hidden it well," Sharon Carter thought to herself with a wry smile.

After being reborn as one of Mark's own people, she truly realized how terrifying this little boy was. Just when she thought she understood him well enough, he would always give her some new surprises or frights.

"Is he important?" Sharon Carter asked knowingly.

Mark nodded: "I want to put him in the presidency."

"No problem, I'll keep an eye on him," Sharon Carter accepted the task.

In fact, she has no choice now, because the more Mark relies on her, the more she can influence Mark's decisions, and the less likely the future she fears will come true.

Sharon Carter left in a hurry because she had too many things to do: the arms company business, the aftermath of the Iron Monger incident, and the tasks Mark had assigned her. Sharon Carter even wished she could be in two places at once.

After Sharon Carter left, Mark also began to ponder.

Mark needed to find someone to keep Sharon Carter in check, since the villain's aura wouldn't affect her, which was a real thorn in his side.

Considering that he had seized a considerable amount of power and resources, Mark opened the system panel.

Final Result Template - The Mastermind Behind the Scenes (Progress 25%)

Acquired abilities: One Causal Agent, Intermediate Villain Aura, One Extraordinary Clue, Beginner Behind-the-Scenes Mastermind, Beginner Shadow Control, One Causal Agent, One World-Class Secret.

Newly acquired abilities: Two Adaptive Inheritance Crystals (automatically grants the user a unique and superior power inheritance upon use; limited to one per person), Intermediate Behind-the-Scenes Master (increases the success rate and increases the target's loyalty and obedience when the host uses leverage against them), and one Causal Agent.

Looking at his newly acquired abilities, Mark suddenly realized something.

The mastermind behind the scenes seems to be much stronger than the villain's halo. If the villain's halo is an invisible influence on his subordinates, then the mastermind behind the scenes is a typical method of training dogs.

"Great! We can finally use what Epostdan left behind." Mark thought excitedly, now his plan could be fully implemented.

He hadn't dared to use those dirt on them before because he was worried the other party would resort to desperate measures, but with the title of Intermediate Behind-the-Scenes Mastermind, his previous worries were gone.

As for the Adaptive Transcendental Legacy, Mark curiously extracted a Transcendental Legacy crystal.

The crystal is entirely dark black, and there is even black energy material surrounding it.

After hesitating for a moment, Mark crushed the crystal in his hand. The black energy within the crystal seemed to have been freed from its restraints, binding Mark and then continuously flowing into his body.

Mark could clearly feel his body being rapidly transformed.

There is no pain, only a soul-stirring pleasure.

"Ah~"

Mark couldn't help but groan, then began to process the extraordinary knowledge in his mind.

"It's actually her legacy? But that does fit the character's persona quite well." Mark thought with a strange expression. This legacy was perfect for his character.
