Marvel: Starting with the forced creation of villainous characters

Chapter 75 The Crisis of Early Childhood Death.

He wouldn't be surprised if the Sorcerer Supreme suddenly jumped in front of him now.

After shutting down the system panel, Mark called the director of the New York Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Mark asked, "Where is that man named Ivan Vanko now?"

"The other party is currently lying in wait near Stark Industries," the voice on the phone reported.

Mark ordered, "Just keep an eye on him and don't interfere with any of his actions."

Unlike the storyline of Iron Man 2, Tony Stark at this time was not shrouded in the shadow of death, nor did he have any self-destructive tendencies, so he did not participate in that kind of death race.

Without any concrete information about Tony Stark, Ivan Vanko naturally had no choice but to resort to the most rudimentary method: waiting for him to come to him near Stark Industries.

Mark knew that Ivan Vanko was fishing, and that he was the bait the other man was using.

But the bait was poisoned, and Mark dared not bite it, so he had to give it to the other warriors.

After hanging up the phone, Mark reverted to being that naive little boy again.

But this situation didn't last long, because Sharon Carter came back.

The following afternoon.

After Sharon Carter found Mark, she handed him a document directly.

"Mark, you'd better take a look at this."

Mark curiously accepted the documents handed to him.

"Medical report?" Mark looked up at Sharon Carter.

"This is the medical examination report from the school, it's from Emma and the others. You'd better take a look at Henry's personal medical examination report," Sharon Carter reminded her.

Upon hearing this, Mark had a bad feeling and quickly flipped to Henry's medical report.

"A malignant brain tumor? How is that possible! Henry is only 11 years old." Mark whispered in disbelief.

Henry wasn't very prominent at home, but Skye really liked the little guy. Of course, the reason Skye liked playing with Henry was quite simple.

Because Henry is a stock market genius who can save Skye's pitiful little wallet.

In addition, Henry was the second of all the children to achieve financial freedom, although the money came from Skye's dividends to him.

"Henry — malignant brain tumor."

It seems Marco knows which work Henry is from.

Henry is from the movie The Book of Henry, and Henry eventually died in his mother's arms from a malignant brain tumor.

Mark asked, "Given current medical technology, is there any hope for Henry?"

Henry is a rare economic genius, and in his future plans, Henry is his treasurer.

Now Sharon Carter is telling him that his treasurer is going to die young?

Mark found it a little hard to accept.

Sharon Carter shook her head and said, "No, even injecting Henry with the super-soldier serum won't work. Super-soldiers have extremely high resistance to diseases, but they can't cure them."

Sharon Carter didn't know how to comfort Mark, nor how to tell Henry the news.

Henry has no family here, and he's really too young—almost the second youngest in the family, not even 11.

She was 18 years old, a year younger than Mark.

Mark didn't speak, but instead pondered how to save Henry.

Looking at the entire Marvel movie and TV series, the only technologies he could think of that could save Henry were the future Regeneration Cradle technology and the Extremis virus.

The regenerative cradle technology was developed ten years later. Dr. Zhao Hailun, who invented the technology, should still be in university now. Moreover, the regenerative cradle technology can only treat the symptoms.

The same goes for the Extremis virus. Although research on this project has begun, it is unlikely to be fully successful, or even half successful.

Mark's fingers tapped nervously on the table, an unconscious action born of his anxiety.

After thinking for a moment, Mark decided to call Henry.

Although Henry is still young, his intelligence is undeniable, so it's best not to keep this kind of thing from him.

After calling Henry over from his homework, Mark handed him his medical report: "Henry, take a look at this."

o

Henry picked up the medical report and looked at it. After a moment, Henry asked, his voice trembling slightly, "Is it a terminal illness?"

He wasn't worried about his family not having enough money for treatment, because neither he nor his family were short of money. What he was afraid of was that the disease was incurable.

"Theoretically speaking, it's a terminal illness." Mark nodded.

Henry astutely grasped the key point and quickly asked, "And what about in reality?"

He was still young and didn't want to die; he wanted to grow up and repay Mark and his parents.

"Actually, many technologies are still in the experimental stage. If you're willing to take the risk, there might be hope for a cure," Mark comforted him.

The simplest solution would be to use the military's Weapon X program. If Henry could gain a healing factor like Deadpool, his cancer would become non-fatal.

Another method is the Hulk serum, which can cause genetic mutations. In the movie, Dr. Stern mutated into Big Boss because his head was contaminated with the Hulk serum.

Although it looks a bit ugly, it is at least powerful and practical.

But this is the most desperate method, because it means gambling with your life for that one tiny mutation.

But Mark couldn't think of any other way.

Another, least risky method is to use the power of magic to suppress the tumor in the brain.

Magic can indeed do this, after all, magic doesn't follow science.

But how could he dare to provoke Kamar-Taj now? Kamar-Taj conducts background checks before accepting students, and besides, there's not enough time.

Henry doesn't have much time left. According to the medical report, he has less than a year left, which is considered a relatively ideal situation.

If things don't go well, then it will take at most six months.

Henry asked calmly, "So there's a risk? And a big risk?"

Mark nodded.

"Currently, the probability of us having a way to cure you is very low, and the technology isn't good enough either. The main problem is that you can't wait that long," Mark explained.

Actually, there is another way, which is Hydra's hibernation technology. If Henry can be put into hibernation, then perhaps he can hibernate for ten years and then be revived when the technology is mature.

In fact, as long as you have the knowledge and connections, there are no conventional incurable diseases in the Marvel universe, unless it is a disease that cannot be detected by examination. Otherwise, there is always a way to cure it.

"Let's make a bet with God then. I've never lost in the stock market, and I believe I won't lose to God this time either," Henry said softly.

Henry's tone was full of confidence, but Mark knew that the other man was definitely not as confident as he appeared at that moment.

Mark comforted him, "I can take you to see Dr. Stern. He's a cell biologist and should be considered a semi-expert in this field. Perhaps we can get his opinion."

Sharon Carter, who was standing to the side, did not say a word.

She knew how talented Henry was, and even felt that it was precisely because of Henry's talent that God couldn't help but want him to return to His embrace ahead of time.

At such a young age, she has experienced two life-or-death crises within six months, which is no ordinary hardship.

"I'll take him to see Dr. Stern; it just so happens that I haven't officially met Dr. Stern yet," Sharon Carter offered.

Mark nodded and said, "Dr. Stern's lab isn't set up yet. You could try to urge him on; Henry doesn't have much time left."

"Don't worry, I'll get the lab set up within a week," Sharon Carter reassured her.

Henry added, "The school will have to help me get a leave of absence; I probably won't be able to go to school for a while."

Unlike Emma, ​​Henry still enjoys school life and gets along well with his classmates.

Of the three students, Henry was probably the only one who was relatively normal.

Sheldon has virtually no emotional intelligence. While he wasn't universally disliked at school, he was definitely an oddball.

Emma, ​​the born bad seed, needs no introduction. She almost single-handedly killed Spider-Man in his juvenile form, turning Spider-Man into Gwen in this world.

Henry returned to his room to pack his luggage, and Sharon Carter took the opportunity to report, "By the way, someone is investigating the Lord of Shadows. Should I get involved?"

"Have you found out who it is?" Mark asked.

"It's rumored to be Batman, but no concrete evidence has been found." She identified the suspect through intelligence from S.H.I.E.L.D.

Normally, this kind of thing wouldn't alarm S.H.I.E.L.D., since it's just the death of a city council member.

"Batman?" Mark immediately thought of Bruce Wayne, and he now seriously suspected that the character of the Lord of the Shadow Dimension was given to him by this guy.

Because he strongly suspected that the guy, like Sharon Carter, was also a causal agent.

"Should we kill him?" A murderous glint flashed in Mark's eyes, but he was also somewhat reluctant.

If the Shadow Dimension Lord's progress bar is related to Batman, then he cannot kill him directly, because that would very likely cause the progress bar to freeze.

Some powers may have side effects, but that doesn't mean he doesn't crave them.

After all, he only felt that his current strength was too weak, not that he felt that the power of the Lord of the Shadow Dimension was too great.

Theoretically speaking, as long as he doesn't linger in front of the Ancient One and hides his dimensional energy, the harm caused by this character design is within his acceptable risk range.

In Mark's view, it is worthwhile to take some risks in order to gain power.

"Looks like I need to find him something to do." Mark decided to give this Batman who broke down the fourth wall some work.

Who is Batman's nemesis again?

I think his name is Clown?

Thinking of this, Mark said calmly, "You don't need to get involved in this. After all, Batman is a superhero. We can't just take action against a good person because of a scumbag politician."

Mark spoke with righteous indignation, even with a high-sounding tone.

But Sharon Carter actually believed it.

Seeing Mark seemingly bathed in holy light behind her, Sharon Carter almost cheered on the spot.

Mark's transformation plan has finally worked. At least now he knows who to help between a scumbag politician and a superhero, even if that scumbag politician is one of his own. Mark still chose the side of justice.

This is the beginning of success!
