A person is writing a diary in an American comic book, and Iron Man collapses at the beginning.

Chapter 73 Steel armor is as common as dogs, steel warriors are everywhere!

"Jarvis, look into Anthony Vanko."

After some deliberation, Tony Stark gave Jarvis the same order once again.

"Sir, after Anthony Vanko and Mr. Howard separated, he was deported and sent back to the Soviet Union."

"I can't find out what happened after that."

Were they deported back to the Soviet Union?

Tony Stark's brow furrowed slightly.

This did not match his initial guess.

If Anthony Vanko were in the Soviet Union, surely he wouldn't come to be an enemy of us from across several countries?

Or did this guy secretly return after being deported back to the Soviet Union?

Are you that persistent?

Tony Stark couldn't possibly come up with this kind of thing just by thinking about it, and he didn't dwell on it.

I'm just asking again.

"Did Anthony Vanko have a son named Ivan Vanko?"

"Sir, Anthony Vanko didn't have any descendants before he was deported, and as for whether he had any afterward, that's unclear."

Is that so?

If that's the case, Tony Stark really can't find which Ivan Vanko is using the whiplash!

That's it!

Shaking his head, Tony Stark decided to stop worrying about it.

Anyway, given Tony's excellence, no matter who Ivan Vanko is, anyone who dares to provoke Tony will be ruthlessly trampled underfoot by Tony!

He's Tony Stark, someone who's even fought Thor!

"A whip?"

"Another super soldier!"

Black Widow raised an eyebrow as well.

Although she already knows that the future is the era of superheroes, aren't there just too many super soldiers?

Since Ivan Vanko is Stark's nemesis, it means that he has the ability to fight against Iron Man armor!

He is undoubtedly an extraordinary warrior.

And "Whiplash," is he a super soldier who uses a whip?

Of course, to be honest, among Iron Man's archenemies, Whiplash isn't the strongest.

[Even if it weren't for the fact that Shit was wearing that portable armor, which weakened its functions in all aspects, Whiplash definitely wouldn't have been able to fight against Iron Man.]

I just don't know if that portable Iron Man suit has been developed yet.

【wrong!】

[Stark isn't Iron Man anymore, who knows what kind of universe this is, and who knows if he'll still be racing in Morocco.]

Whether we'll even encounter the whip is still uncertain.

Portable battle armor?

Tony Stark's eyes lit up immediately. What a great suggestion!

His Iron Man suit is excellent in every aspect, that's undeniable, but it also has an enormous limitation.

It cannot be carried with you!

To use the Iron Man suit, Playboy must return to his mansion.

But Tony Stark can't live in his mansion forever, can he?

If something like Afghanistan happens again, you can't just say, "I'll go home first, put on my armor, and then you can come and fight me," can you?

Portable battle armor is still very necessary!

And what's written in the diary isn't wrong either.

Considering the manufacturing process, if a portable battle suit were to be produced, its functionality in all aspects would indeed be significantly reduced.

So, despite his impressive nickname "Whiplash" and all that, all I could do was build a simplified version of my own armor?

The playboy couldn't help but curl his lip.

He became increasingly indifferent to Zhou Cheng's "designated" second nemesis.

However, Tony Stark paid close attention to the "Morocco" mentioned in his diary.

As a super-rich second-generation heir who has always been known for his extravagant lifestyle, this city's playboy was naturally aware of it.

Without him.

The Moroccan Grand Prix is ​​one of the most famous and challenging Formula 1 races in the world.

The diary also states that she met Ivan Vanko when she went to Morocco for a race.

So here's the question.

Did Ivan Vanko follow him to Morocco, or was he a Moroccan resident who bumped into him there?

These two possibilities coexist, but neither can be ruled out.

"Jarvis, is there anyone named Ivan Vanko in Morocco?"

Tony Stark asked Jarvis again.

"Sir, no!"

So it seems that the other party chased after me to Morocco?

The playboy immediately understood.

It seems that Ivan Vanko truly hates himself to the core, just as described in his diary.

They even chased them all the way to Morocco.

Doesn't this mean that whoever that guy is, he must be watching and monitoring you all the time?

In order to find the right opportunity to deal with oneself!

If that's the case...

Tony Stark's eyes flashed with a sharp light, which meant that the guy would eventually jump out on his own!

hum.

Tony Stark couldn't help but let out a cold snort.

Whip, whip, I hope you'll be more sensible and not do something so foolish.

Otherwise you'll regret it!

However, given Ivan Vanko's hatred for Stark, I don't think it matters much whether Stark goes racing or not.

[Sooner or later, they will come after Stark and won't be satisfied until they kill him.]

No, that's not right. Ivan Vanko's goal isn't to kill Stark, but to destroy Iron Man!

[Otherwise, with so many ways to kill Stark, why would Ivan Vanko choose to use Stark's technology against him?]

He wants to tell everyone that Iron Man is not a myth; he can be defeated and replicated!

???

What the hell?

If at the beginning Tony Stark didn't take this so-called second nemesis seriously at all...

Now, the other party has completely changed their opinion.

The diary says that the other party used his technology against him!

So Ivan Vanko also mastered the technology to manufacture Iron Man armor?

Yes.

As mentioned earlier, when Ivan Vanko fought him, he was wearing a portable Iron Man suit.

Although the portable Iron Man armor is not as powerful as the real armor, it is still not something that an ordinary person can handle.

That Ivan Vanko undoubtedly possessed some extraordinary abilities.

Tony Stark didn't know what that extraordinary ability was before, but now he does—it's also Iron Man armor!

Are you kidding me!

His own battle armor was made with technology far beyond this era, something no one else could possibly master.

Even if someone were to actually create the armor, the problem of the energy source would be impossible for anyone to overcome.

That is the real key technology, and the real technological barrier!

This technology was also limited by the times.

If it weren't for the limitations of the era, Howard Stark could have miniaturized the Arc Reactor on his own, without even waiting for Tony Stark to intervene.

Given Playboy's professional skills, he certainly has that kind of judgment.

But the diary says that Ivan Vanko also mastered this technology?

How exactly did they manage to do that?

"Wait a moment!"

With a slight furrow of his brow, Tony Stark thought of something again, or rather, made some connections.

Or perhaps, it reminds me of a key figure.

Anthony Vanko!

Under normal circumstances, the Arc Reactor is absolutely impossible for others to control.

But what about Anthony Vanko, who developed the reactor with Howard?

That's the only one!

Besides myself, there's only Anthony Vanko!

That Ivan Vanko shared the same surname as Anthony Vanko, and possessed technology that only Anthony Vanko had.

If you connect all these things together, even Playboy wouldn't believe that the two are unrelated.

"Sir, it seems there must be a close connection between Ivan Vanko and Anthony Vanko."

Jarvis made the same judgment.

"Yes, that's right!"

"Jarvis, put both of them on the watch list."

"Notify me immediately of any news."

Tony Stark nodded and gave Jarvis that order.

Although Whiplash was ultimately defeated by Iron Man, he did succeed in a way.

Whiplash proved to the world that Iron Man's technology is not unique; others can also master it.

The Whiplash has subjected Iron Man to much scrutiny.

Even when Whiplash finally returned, Iron Man would most likely have been killed if he hadn't teamed up with War Machine.

After being defeated by himself, Whiplash has returned with a vengeance?

He even almost killed himself?

It has to be said that Tony Stark really didn't expect this kind of thing.

It seems I underestimated Ivan Vanko.

After being defeated, the opponent actually created an even more powerful suit of armor!

If that's the case, then it seems I need to take this Ivan Vanko more seriously.

Playboy believed that with his intelligence and enough attention to that guy, the other party wouldn't be able to cause any trouble.

As mentioned in the diary, nothing like letting the other party make a comeback will ever happen!

That's not a problem.

What really caught Tony Stark's attention was War Machine—what the hell was that?

Judging from the context, this war machine is undoubtedly a superhero wearing steel armor, just like himself.

Even the nickname "war machine" is comparable to its own "destroyer" moniker.

As mentioned in the diary earlier, Rhodes also mastered a set of armor, and Ivan Vanko was just teased.

And then another war machine appeared?

How many people actually possess Iron Man armor?

That shouldn't be happening!

Why does it feel like things that no one else can make will be everywhere in the future?

Did the military or other relevant units and departments steal them from us?

Can't you?

Or is it that those suits of armor didn't leave from his hands, but from Ivan Vanko's?

Playboy doesn't know the specifics yet, but one thing is certain.

Now that he knew about this beforehand, Tony Stark absolutely refused to allow it to happen again!

The Iron Man suit can only belong to him!

The playboy's gaze became more resolute than ever before.

Then, Tony Stark's gaze fell on the name War Machine.

He was pondering this in his heart.

Who is this person who also wields the Iron Man armor?

Since there is no context or connection between the two events, the playboy couldn't possibly deduce anything; he could only hope that the diary would provide the answer.

It's a pity.

At this crucial moment, the diary has once again been interrupted!

"That guy really knows how to whet people's appetites!"

Tony Stark muttered a curse under his breath before turning his attention back to his diary.

I've started a detailed review and analysis of the spoilers in this diary.

Overall

This spoiler revealed quite a lot of key information, even some major information.

Whether it's the destroyer who easily wipes out a small town in Asgard, or the awesome Guardians of the Galaxy.

Or perhaps it's the Avengers and the Guardians of the Galaxy teaming up on Titan, or maybe it's the final battle where he snapped his fingers.

They all depicted the cruelty and chaos of the future superhero era, giving Tony Stark a deeper understanding of this era.

Of course.

This is because the information is too fragmented and consists mostly of mythological or interstellar backgrounds.

All of them are invisible and intangible, making it impossible to know where to begin.

Tony Stark can't do anything but watch the drama unfold.

The only thing he can do right now is to become "Whiplash" Ivan Vanko, as revealed at the end of the diary.

Tony Stark has instructed Jarvis to investigate both Ivan Vanko and another highly suspected individual, Anthony Vanko.

There is no doubt about this.

Besides.

And then there's the Winter Soldier, the Winter Soldier whom Playboy has always wanted the answer to, and Jarvis has been investigating him all along.

Jarvis, Tony Stark's smart assistant, says he's really tired.

As for portable armor and such, that's a trivial matter to a playboy.

There's not much to say.

Drop drop!

Drop drop!

I had just finished dealing with these important matters and had a few cups of coffee to rest when the notification sound of the button at the door started ringing.

Tony Stark turned his head and, unsurprisingly, it was indeed his assistant.

No, it was his future wife, Pepper Potts.

Pepper Potts, dressed in a professional skirt suit, looked as capable and dashing as ever.

The more Playboy looked at it, the more satisfied he became.

Not only that.

After learning about his future and Pepper Potts' fate from his diary, Tony Stark subtly hinted at his feelings for Pepper Potts during this period.

Pepper Potts also responded!

The relationship between the two is no longer just that of a normal boss and assistant; it is filled with a strong sense of ambiguity.

Playboy still really enjoys this feeling.
