Chapter 2135 The Ultimate New World (XVI)
The death of Captain America is strange. If Schiller remembers correctly, there should be no Captain America in the story of Ultimate Iron Man.
The whole story is that Ultimate Iron Man created the Extremis virus and Extremis APP. The first person to notice something wrong was Daredevil Matt. Unfortunately, Matt had never beaten White Can, so he could not stop his conspiracy.
Next was Pepper. As the person who knew Tony Stark best, she certainly realized that there was something wrong with this Iron Man. After a quarrel, Pepper decided to activate her backup consciousness of Justice Iron Man.
So in fact, the subsequent story basically revolves around Justice Iron Man and Evil Iron Man. If you have to say that there is a role for Captain America, it is after White Can was locked up, not when the Extremis virus just broke out.
At this time, a problem arose. In order to prevent the universe collision event created by the Transcendent, Schiller went to the future timeline and brought the White Can that appeared after the Axis of Good and Evil event to the past timeline, replacing the normal Iron Man who had not yet turned evil.
The normal Iron Man was sent to the future, which means that the two of them exchanged identities, and if time keeps going forward, they will meet sooner or later.
Schiller also explained this to Bai Can, so for Bai Can, his primary enemy should be his righteous self, not Captain America, because if there is another self, then his wealth and status may be taken away at any time.
In this case, Bai Can actually has no motivation to kill Captain America, because Captain America has not interfered with his conspiracy, and because of his first-mover advantage, he can use the time from the past to the future to manipulate Captain America so that he can use it to deal with the righteous self in the future.
The nature of profiteers is to make the best use of everything and resolutely not waste any manpower that can be used. Judging from Bai Can's style of doing things, he is more likely to do so, and the probability of directly killing Captain America is very small.
Bai Can personally admitted in the video message that he killed Captain America, but the contradiction is that he said it was an accident, but they both have to admit that they were not completely unaware of it.
According to Bai Can's personality, if he killed someone, he would kill him, and he would not deny it. If it was an accident, he would not take the blame on himself because of guilt.
Then it is very likely that the whole thing is as Bai Can described. Bai Can caused an accident, and this accident led to the death of Captain America. Killing was not Bai Can's original intention, but it was indeed the accident he created that killed Captain America.
This is quite strange. No matter how weak Captain America is, he is known as a 50-50 match in the universe. That is really a kid on the street, a god in the sky, and everyone can touch him with a shield. How could he die so easily when no one is targeting him?
Now we know that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. This ultimate flag has been set. Schiller used this to die once. Can Captain America still escape?
This mission test was led by Nick, because he is now in charge of the Time Management Bureau, and many times, in order to find a suitable mission, time travel is necessary.
For example, Schiller set the difficulty of the bat, and Nick went to each timeline to find events that met this difficulty, and then first took the contestant to the universe, and then threw the contestant to the corresponding time point through the Time Administration to complete the task.
But the contestant cannot stay here forever. He must return to his own universe after completing the task.
But now, if Nick does not throw Bruce to the universe where the white can is, he will not be bitten by the spider, then Captain America will not die because of setting a flag, then the white can will not travel back to the past, then the task will not be this difficult, and then Bruce will not come, and the loop will be closed directly.
If Bruce is not allowed to come from the beginning, it is not right. If he does not come, Captain America will not die, but later. Schiller learned from Spider-Man that Captain America is dead, and this memory still exists until now.
In other words, if Bruce does not exist, it is very likely that a time paradox will occur directly, that is, Schiller hears the news of Captain America's death from Spider-Man in the future timeline, but because Bruce did not come, Captain America did not die. The consequences of this contradiction are unpredictable.
If Captain America's death is an established fact, then how the death process happened is worth studying.
The problem lies with the spider totem that bit Bruce. Although Nick has some of the authority of the spider totem, the universe is endless, and he can't manually control who the spider bites all the time.
The birth of Spider-Man is an automatic program. It usually bites Peter Parker, but occasionally bites others. Basically no one has studied the selection criteria of the spider totem, but it can't be that the more talkative, the better, right?
At first, when Bruce was bitten by the spider, the few people didn't think there was anything wrong. There are many people bitten by spiders in this world, and there won't be Spider-Man everywhere. In the final analysis, only those who are selected can become Spider-Man.
Later, when testing the strength, the few people began to feel something was wrong. After Bruce escaped from Osborn, the few people had a bad premonition.
Nick had seen many Spider-Mans, and he could tell at once that Bruce's dizzy and flustered demeanor looked like Peter Parker when he just awakened his spider-sense ability.
When Captain America said that, the few people realized that Bruce had changed so much because he was chosen by the Spider Totem and became Spider-Man.
As for why the originally perceptive few people waited until this key line came out to realize that Bruce had become Spider-Man, it was still because of the Extremis virus created by the white can.
People infected with the Extremis virus can also enhance their strength. This Batman originally looked weak and was still far from the maximum level. It was normal for him to drink tap water and be infected with the Extremis virus, which led to an increase in strength, right?
So these people initially thought that Bruce's change was due to the infection of the Extremis virus, and did not think about Spider-Man at all.
Now, Batman really became Spider-Man.
It is not a small matter to change from the main pillar of the opponent to the main pillar of your own family. Even if it does not involve the death of Captain America, it must be investigated.
Inside the Time Management Bureau, the wicked quartet all dispersed and began to investigate what was going on.
After looking through the information in the Time Management Bureau for a long time, Nick finally figured out that the selection of Spider Totem is regular. If there is Peter Parker, Peter Parker will be selected. If there is no Peter Parker, the selected person must also have the qualities of Peter Parker.
From the experience of almost all Spider-Mans who are not Peter Parker, they need to meet the following points to be selected by Spider Totem.
First, ordinary, their background is not too good, they are often unlucky, and they are experiencing difficulties and adversity.
Second, optimistic, no matter how much trouble they encounter in difficulties and adversity, they can stick to their original intentions.
Third, kindness, but not necessarily weakness or sainthood, it is more like adhering to a simpler moral code.
Fourth, and most importantly, there must be someone who can teach them and is important to them.
But this is not the most important first principle. The first principle is that there can only be one Spider-Man in a universe. You said that Bruce Wayne was bitten by a spider and became Spider-Man, so what about the original Spider-Man?
Although Schiller brought the white can to the past timeline, causing him to become the evil Iron Man before the Axis of Good and Evil incident, Peter Parker was already Spider-Man before the Axis of Good and Evil incident.
In other words, when Bruce came here, Peter Parker was already Spider-Man, so even if Bruce had many good qualities, he could not become the second Spider-Man.
Looking at all the universes, whether it is Gwen Spider-Man or Miles Spider-Man, either there was no Spider-Man in this world, or Spider-Man was dead, so there was a Spider-Man who succeeded Peter Parker in the universe. If the Spider-Man in this universe is alive and well, then what is the basis for Bruce to become Spider-Man?
The investigation of several people here is deadlocked. Now the biggest problem they face is, where is Peter Parker in this universe? Where are he?
Now everyone's eyes are focused on Nick, because only Nick Fury, who has some authority of the Spider Totem, can answer their question. How can there be a second Spider-Man when there is already a Spider-Man in a universe?
Nick realized this problem earlier than them, so he used the authority of the Spider Totem to investigate what happened to Peter Parker in this universe.
"He's dead."
The shock on Nick's face was stronger than others. The black director's eyes almost popped out of his eye sockets. He stared at the three people opposite and said, "Peter Parker is dead."
"Where did he die? How did he die?"
Nick shook his head, obviously checking the timeline. After a while, he said, "He's dead. If I'm not mistaken, he committed suicide."
Everyone was even more confused. According to the above laws, or even without any laws, Peter Parker is not a person who will give up easily. No matter how big the difficulties are, he will muster up the courage to face them.
Peter Parker in other universes can even face Batman and the Joker. What else can't he do? What kind of difficulties can make him commit suicide?
This is indeed a question that several people should think about now, but there is another urgent problem to be solved, that is, they must solve this time and space paradox, and they cannot let Batman become Spider-Man, otherwise they will have to pay a lot of copyright fees.
The best way is to take Bruce away directly, send him back to DC, and then find a way to forge the scene of Captain America's death, so that there will be no inconsistency.
But the problem is that Bruce has now become Spider-Man. If he is sent back to DC now, isn't it giving evidence of infringement to the other party?
If we go back to the time when Bruce just came and was not bitten, and then take Bruce back, it may work, but no one knows whether the spider totem has chosen Bruce at this time.
It's not a big deal for Bruce to go back, but what if the Spider Totem wants to bite him? Even if there is only a one in ten million chance, Nick will never allow it.
Loki took the lead in proposing a solution - go back in time and start over, so that Bruce will not be bitten, or at least not be bitten so quickly, and find a way to delay until he breaks up with the Spider Totem, and then talk about Captain America.
They immediately split into two groups, Nick dealt with Bruce, and the others went to investigate Spider-Man.
Nick almost immediately started the operation and reset the universe's timeline back to when Bruce first came.
But he overlooked one point, the authority of the Marvel Time Management Bureau is limited to Marvel, he can reset the timeline in the universe and go back to the memories of the characters in the Marvel universe, but he can't reset the memories of the DC characters.
So, Bruce was reborn with his memories and returned to the first day in San Francisco.
