Chapter 1200 The Witch of the Gun
Stark Building, New York.
This high-rise building once belonged to the Metropolitan Insurance Company in Manhattan, New York. Now it has been bought by Tony Stark at a huge cost and has been extensively modified.
Not only has the interior of the building been transformed into a hangar and a high-tech integrated steel suit base, but a huge STARK sign has also been erected on the top of the building, which is very Tony Stark-like. It can basically be regarded as one of the landmark buildings in New York City.
There are many cafes and restaurants on the street below the Stark Building that place their own tables on the street, so that diners can enjoy the food while looking up to appreciate the scenery of the Stark Building. If you are lucky, you can also see the scene of Iron Man's return and attract cheers and praises from the public.
As more and more superheroes appear in this world, people not only regard them as extraordinary strongmen, but more people regard superheroes as idol stars. Some smart comic companies even take the opportunity of interviews to reach agreements with some superheroes and publish the origin stories of related superheroes according to their own inferences and guesses.
Iron Man is also a leader among the many celebrity superheroes. Because Stark Industries is super rich, it directly bought a comic book company that was on the verge of bankruptcy due to poor management and hired several well-known cartoonists with superb painting skills to draw interludes and comic journals for Iron Man to satisfy Tony Stark's personal desire to be a conspicuous bag.
This also led to Iron Man's high reputation. Coupled with Tony Stark's flamboyant personality as a "human body", Iron Man became the most famous superhero in the United States as soon as he debuted, and gained a large number of fans.
Today, the Stark Building was also crowded with onlookers. They were holding their mobile phones, chatting and laughing while waiting for the spectacle of Iron Man breaking through the sky.
"Look! Here it comes!" Suddenly someone pointed to the sky in the distance.
I saw a flame flying quickly towards the Stark Building. The onlookers immediately raised their mobile phones and cameras to take pictures and videos, and some Internet celebrities broadcast live with the sky as the background.
But people soon discovered something was wrong, because the flame was intermittent and would fall down for a distance from time to time and then barely climb up, which was completely different from the usual fancy flying acrobatics.
Everyone looked at each other, could it be that Iron Man encountered a strong enemy and was crippled?
In the sky, Iron Man crashed into the apron on the top of the Stark Building almost like a meteor falling to the ground, then bounced up and landed again, repeating three times before being blocked by the artificial intelligence mechanical arm and the airbag that popped up on the top of the building.
Iron Man's image at this moment was not good, the red and gold arrogant and ostentatious paint was scratched in large pieces, the thrusters on his left foot and right hand were crackling and emitting electric sparks, and the whole person was lying in the white airbag.
[Impressive landing method, sir. ]
Jarvis's voice sounded at the right time.
"Hiss... stop talking nonsense, help me get rid of my suit."
After a while, Tony Stark sat in his private studio on the top floor of the building, his fingers clacking on the keyboard, and the three-dimensional virtual screen in front of him was forming a brand new set of Iron Man suits.
Not far from him, a circle of specially made glass display cases lit up, storing pieces of Iron Man suits of different appearances, and the display case marked Mark 5 was empty.
[Sir, the maintenance of Mark 5 is expected to be completed in 5 hours and 32 minutes. ]
"Uh-huh."
Tony Stark didn't care about Jarvis's reminder, but continued to type on the keyboard: "Did you find it?"
[No, there is no information about the punk girl in the database that can be queried on the global network. 】
"Well, now think about it, how can a qualified super villain let a superhero find out her whereabouts so easily? If not, she would not be Iron Man's old enemy."
Tony Stark finally hit the enter key, turned the swivel chair twice and slid to the table next to him, took a sip of the specially prepared dark green nutrient juice, and then frowned: "This thing tastes like cold sewer mud, isn't there a more palatable taste?"
[This is the nutrient solution specially prepared by Miss Pepper for you. It is rich in vitamins and substances needed by your body, which can effectively...]
"Okay, okay, thank Pepper for me."
Hearing the name of his beautiful assistant, Tony raised his glass helplessly and drank it all.
[Your thanks are being conveyed to Miss Pepper... It has been conveyed. Miss Pepper said she would rather you thank her in person. 】
"That's not the boss's job."
Tony raised his eyebrows and turned to look at the 3D projection on the table next to him: "... create a file for the new plan."
[Okay, please name the new suit. 】
"... Well, it's called [Anti-Punk Girl Armor], numbered MARK15, and the plan is included in the super villain strategy library."
Tony confidently put his hands behind his head and told Jarvis about his genius idea:
"The thrusters and armor defense are specialized, the impact resistance and search ability are improved, and a missile jamming system is equipped. This lady can run at a terrifying speed of more than Mach 3 with her flesh and blood, and she has two annoying handheld tank guns, so we will use a special armor plan to deal with her.
In this way, Iron Man also has his own old enemy, a powerful and photogenic super villain."
[Sir, I have to remind you that this punk girl has not committed any serious crimes yet, so theoretically you cannot call her a super villain. ]
"Please, Jarvis. She shot two high school students through the thighs with a gun. These two poor kids almost bled to death. I'm afraid they will be scared to death by seeing guns for the rest of their lives."
[But they have been linked to suspected harassment and robbery cases many times, but they have not been prosecuted due to lack of evidence. ]
"Are you trying to say that the punk chick is also a messenger of justice? Tsk... Okay, move the plan from the 'Super Villain Strategy Library' to the 'Armor Concept Library'."
Tony Stark shook his finger:
"Since you said those guys are potential criminals, then check their backgrounds and related cases. If there is a problem, confirm the problem.
Since Iron Man has taken action, he must have some achievements anyway."
[Understood. 】
"Also, whether that punk girl is a super villain or an anti-hero, we have to give her a catchy code name."
Since entering the superhero circle, Tony has been keen on collecting information about other heroes and villains, and has shown great enthusiasm for discovering a newcomer in the circle.
[You always have wonderful ideas, and I'm all ears. 】
"Well... let's call her [Gun Witch]."
On a computer screen not far away, a folder named 'Gun Witch' was being created.
