American Comics: The Matrix

It's just that he is too inexperienced and doesn't have enough reaction time.

Just like driving on an empty road, even speeding up to 200 kilometers per hour is barely acceptable, but if there are too many vehicles along the road, it will be difficult for the driver to react.

Bant can move at such a speed in such a small space, which shows that his reaction ability and thinking speed are far beyond that of ordinary people. If they really come to blows, the performance of Mark 3 will never be able to match the opponent!

Do not!

It should be said that as long as the armor is still operated with human reaction ability, it will never be able to defeat the opponent.

What's more, three hundred miles per hour is just the normal speed at which flash stars move, just like a human walks.

And its limit is even so that the human eye cannot capture it at all, and even machines have to slow down several times to see a little bit of the shadow.

"Where the hell did this monster come from!" Tony cursed inwardly.

After all, he had just become Iron Man not long ago, and the world in his eyes was still a normal world.

Those monsters and demons behind haven’t shown up yet!

Bant stretched his arms and legs, ready to fight back!

"Round two, Tony Stark!"

He lowered his body and made a starting posture. The mask on his face was closed again. Through the black mask, his voice sounded very cold and serious.

For him now, the transformation time of several minutes is actually very long, and he has enough new colors to play with Tony.

"Come on, baby dinosaur!"

Tony seemed to ignore Bant and continued to challenge him.

But in fact, knowing that his reaction would be difficult to keep up with Bent, he had already instructed Jarvis to start the attack program and handed over the control of the armor.

In his field of vision, Bant had been completely locked by Jarvis's intelligent program. At the same time, the weapon devices on the elbows and shoulders of the armor had popped up.

"You said you could finish me in three minutes. Let me see. There are still two and a half minutes left..."

"Boom!"

Tony was just about to make a couple of witty remarks when the next moment, a smear of black instantly occupied his entire field of vision - no, before his sight was covered by the black shadow, Bant's attack had already reached him!

As if he was suddenly hit by a speeding high-speed train, Tony felt that his ribs in his chest were about to break!

You know, Tony has long understood that his reaction ability could not match Bant's, so from the beginning he gave most of the control of the mecha to Jarvis, trying to rely on technology to capture Bant's actions. As long as Bant makes any movement, the suit will immediately attack.

But what he didn't expect was that even the armor's camera couldn't catch up with Bant who was moving at full speed!

Even if Jarvis could keep up, it would still take time for him to control the armor.

"The damage to the Mark 3 reached 12%."

Jarvis's cold voice rang in Iron Man's ears, but he had no time to pay attention.

Because Bant did not let go immediately after hitting him. Instead, he used his strange hands to grab Mark 3's head like the pliers of a claw machine and rushed out of the factory with Mark 3!

The acceleration at that moment is simply not something an ordinary person can withstand!

If Jarvis hadn't activated the reverse thrust device in an instant and slowed down the acceleration, Tony would have fainted immediately. Even so, Tony now only felt dizzy, his stomach churning, and his brain was blank as if he had been anesthetized.

At the same time, Bant has not stopped his attack.

After rushing out of the abandoned factory with Iron Man, he was still moving forward at a very high speed. His slender but powerful arms were carrying Iron Man at a very high speed, and at the same time, he suddenly pressed him against the building along the way.

"Buzz!"

Sparks splashed out like a fountain!

Those concrete buildings were now as fragile as tofu dregs and were smashed to pieces! !

Even the titanium alloy Mark III suffered extensive wear and tear in an instant, and the bright paint on the back was completely ruined.

"The suit is 26% damaged." Jarvis continued to warn.

"Thank you, then why didn't you push him away?" Tony took a long time to regain consciousness. What's worse is that because of what he did just now, he had completely vomited this morning's breakfast into the helmet, and then it was all over his face.

"I must prepare a barf bag for the next generation of suits!"

He roared secretly, then grabbed Bant's arm with both arms, and the propulsion system of his whole body was running to the extreme!

"Wow!"

Flames burst out from his back!

Tony turned off all the thrusters on the left side of the armor, leaving only the right side, which broke the original balance.

Bant's running figure immediately tilted, he lost speed instantly and was forced to let go of Iron Man, and he fell forward at an even faster speed!

If he lost control at this speed, even if he was wearing an iron suit, he would be smashed to pieces. But for the Zena Flash Mob, this was just a common little thing, no different from an earthling accidentally tripping while running.

Of course, if it is not handled properly, you will end up with a bloody head just like the people on Earth.

He subconsciously curled up his body into a ball, using the posture of a spherical body to cushion the huge impact.

Even so, it's not that easy.

Every time he touched the ground, a small hole was left on the surface, just like the splash of water caused by a stone hitting the water. Until the hole became shallower and shallower, he was finally able to control his body and stand up with grimace.

In that instant, Bant had flown several kilometers away. Fortunately, in order not to attract attention, he took Tony in the opposite direction of the city, otherwise, who knows what kind of situation would have arisen!

"I now understand why the Zena Flash Mob has such strong healing abilities." He stretched his muscles and felt as if his body was falling apart. "If their healing abilities were a little weaker, I'm afraid a lot of people would be killed easily."

On the other hand, after Iron Man got rid of Bant, he quickly controlled his body, his hands and feet sprayed flames, his body spun in the air, and stopped in mid-air after releasing the force -

"One minute and nine seconds left. Too late to get to the zoo, kid?"

Tony didn't even forget to count the time, of course, he could have just glanced at the AI ​​virtual screen.

"That's enough for me." Bant sneered, "I just don't know if you have time to return to your Stark Group and replace yourself with another steel heart."

Tony immediately had a bad feeling: "What do you want to do?"

He didn't get any response, or rather, the attack was Bant's final response.

This time, he aimed at Tony’s biggest weakness - the Ark Reactor!

In fact, Tony realized this after Bant said that. He wanted to dodge, but it was too late.

Bant is as fast as lightning!

"Crack!"

The black claws pierced the outer wall of the reactor at a rapid speed!

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 8 So, why are speedsters always one step slower?

Bant pulled out his arm, which was like a gun.

Iron Man visibly twitched, and a short burst of electric sound came out of his suit. At the same time, the light of his helmet dimmed after a flash.

"Boom!"

The heavy armor fell to the ground with a loud bang, and a small gap appeared on the bright blue reactor, as if it had been hit by a pickaxe.

"Sir, the reactor is damaged and energy is leaking."

Through the armor, Bant could hear Jarvis' voice.

Tony knew the seriousness of the matter better than Jarvis did, without him telling him!

You know, now this reactor is not only the energy source of the armor, but also the source of his life!

It is embedded in Tony's chest cavity, and it is the energy provided by the reactor that allows the electromagnet to absorb the tiny particle shrapnel in his body to prevent them from flowing into the heart through the blood.

Bant's powerful blow shattered the reactor's outer shell, which could be said to have hit Iron Man's vital point.

Although there are only some surface cracks, which will not cause all the energy to be lost or even stop the reactor, but in this case, the leakage of palladium in the reactor will be very serious!

In just a few seconds, Tony's palladium poisoning symptoms had greatly worsened!

Seeing this, Jarvis did not hesitate to reduce the operating speed of the reactor so that it could only maintain Tony's normal life activities, trying to use this method to reduce the rate of palladium poisoning.

"Calling Miss Potts for you."

"Don't!"

Tony endured the nausea and dizziness brought on by palladium poisoning and cut off Jarvis' call without hesitation.

He still doesn't know what Bant is, nor does he know what his purpose is, and how he could put Pepper in danger!

"Now let's see how much time we have, Tony Stark." Bant fought back. Of course, at this point, he didn't plan to continue.

Killing Iron Man would do him no good, but - he looked at Mark III and examined the iron armor for a few seconds - this thing was worth studying.

'Perhaps the little warrior can come up with something.'

Thinking of this, Bant acted without hesitation. He planned to disassemble Tony's suit into parts and then pack them up and take them away!

Most of the time travelers who traveled to Marvel had to steal something after gaining their abilities, and the unlucky ones were naturally the poor and empty wallets of those street thugs, but in Bant's case, the victim was Iron Man.

But he brought this upon himself.

You know, this guy also wants to capture Bant and take him back for dissection research!

Bant only took away one piece of his armor, which was nothing.

He did what he said, and his hands left almost an afterimage. In just a moment, he had cut off one of Iron Man's arms.

"What on earth do you want to do?" Tony yelled nervously.

After the armor was turned off, his field of vision was actually very limited. Just like a man in a leather suit, he could only see a narrow gap. However, he could feel that one of his arms had lost the protection of the suit and was exposed to the air.

This made him very nervous and scared. He felt like a can waiting to be opened...

"Time is money, Tony. You delayed me for several minutes. I have to make up for my loss." Bant violently dismantled the armor and soon lifted Tony's mask.

Suddenly, a disgusting sour smell hit me in the face.

"Oh!" Bant felt as if the air in front of him had turned into another color. Half of his body fell backwards, trying to avoid the strange smell. "You vomited in the armor? How disgusting!"

It was a can, but I didn’t expect it to be canned herring.

He looked at the steel mask he had removed in his hand, and felt as if he had unscrewed a Lao Gan Ma mask but his hands were covered in oil. He wanted to throw it away but was reluctant to do so.

After all, this is a large-sized figure, and it can move!

So he shook it hard, and the disgusting vomit was thrown back into Tony's face.

Tony took a deep breath, his face turned pale, and even his hair was wet.

"Who do you think gave this to me?"

"Of course it's you. Remember, I warned you not to meddle in other people's business!" Bant said, speeding up the disassembly of the armor. "I have to wash this thing a hundred times first, and squeeze a whole can of detergent!"

"I have a better suggestion. Leave it alone."

"Shut up!"

Bant found time to punch him.

In less than half a minute, he had completely dismantled the armor. Now, carrying a pile of parts that were almost as tall as himself, he said goodbye to Tony happily.

"I advise you to call your girlfriend, otherwise you will have to walk back to Stark Tower." Bant reminded enthusiastically, "and then the next day, your current appearance will be on the headlines of every news."

After saying this, Bant left with the loose suits.

What's strange is that Flash Star seems to have abilities similar to force fields. Although there are a lot of parts and his speed is incredibly fast, not a single screw is lost due to wind resistance or inertia.

"Wait, Flashstar does have a force field-like ability, otherwise every person he rescued would be cut in half by his speed. But it shouldn't be this strong!"

Bant reacted quickly.

"Unless, Flash Star got a little bit of Spider-Man's powers and used bio-static electricity to stick those tiny parts together!"

Thinking of this, Bant immediately became excited.

After transforming into an alien hero, can you actually add on Spider-Man’s abilities?

This is so cool too!

But so far, this is just Bant's guess. At least the spider sense was not triggered when fighting with Tony just now.

Bant also quickly checked whether there was a positioning device inside the armor.

FlashStar has the speed to try millions of password combinations in tens of seconds, and it takes less than a second to fully check the armor.
