Chapter 172: The identity of Colonel Star-Spangled Banner
Nick Fury is a man in the system, but that doesn't mean he likes to play by the rules. To be honest, if the leader of an organization like S.H.I.E.L.D. is a person who follows the rules, this organization basically has no future.
So after the fall of S.H.I.E.L.D., his superiors will hold him accountable, which Nick had long anticipated. And also entrusted Captain Rogers with the follow-up, after S.H.I.E.L.D. left Nick's leadership. Hill and Rogers were still able to hold up the whole scene.
At the secret trial in Washington, Nick didn't even argue much with the Security Council bigwigs. Is it as if because he already knows that things are immutable, and there is no use arguing?
This doesn't quite look like Nick's character, he's a guy who, even if he dies, will try to make the bullets that come at him turn around. Plead guilty and go to jail? Maybe someone else will do that, but Nick definitely won't!
"So, you mean Nick Fury wasn't actually arrested?" asked Jack, sitting at the Night's Watch conference table and looking at Frank.
This time it was a secret meeting within the Night's Watch, and Mindy and Laura and Sam had been driven into the room to play the game console, and Logan thought it was better for him to ask less about it, so he went to play the game with Mindy and Laura. Logan swore he was never there to supervise Sam.
Frank nodded when he heard Li Jie's inquiry: "Yes, it is impossible for him to be arrested so easily. And a quiet jail is not Nick's character. Those Security Council bigwigs think they have mastered Nick and S.H.I.E.L.D.!"
Mike sat on the side and didn't speak, he had always disliked S.H.I.E.L.D. Whether Nick goes to jail or not, he doesn't care at all.
However, Damon asked with interest: "If Nick is not arrested, then who is being held in Washington?"
Frank smiled and shrugged: "Nick has his own way, there are many strange people in this world, and he can always find one to replace him." Or there are other ways to deceive those big men. ”
"So, Nick wasn't really in jail. What's inside is just a stand-in or a shadow, and Nick Fury is actually out there?" even speculated if Nick secretly asked for help from Inhumans. Mutants definitely have the ability to imitate the appearance of others, and the Inhumans say that they may not have it, and they will not be detected with the X gene, which is more safe. And Nick himself has been communicating with the Black Bolt King for more than ten years, and I believe that it is not difficult for the Black Bolt King to find such a person among the clan.
There is nothing wrong with this understanding, he actually does not trust the officials in Washington, including those inside the Congress. Not to mention the problem of hydra corrosion, just talking about the integrity and moral standards of the politicians themselves, they are not trustworthy. "Frank and Nick are old friends and know the character of old friends very well.
"There aren't many people in this world that he can trust. I'm one, and I've always felt like he's got to trust us as a night watchman. At least what we do is never for personal purposes or profit. ”
"And as I said earlier, Nick Fury doesn't believe in the moral standards of these politicians, so he needs to have some back-to-back means. In case S.H.I.E.L.D. has to compromise and give up something in the face of official pressure. ”
Frank glanced around at everyone: "There are many secret materials and various special items in S.H.I.E.L.D., which are very threatening to this world, and if they are kept by the wrong people, the consequences will be catastrophic. ”
"If Captain Rogers and Agent Hill hadn't been able to take care of those things, Nick would have protected them with his own means. He didn't care what country's army he was dealing with. Frank's words are very meaningful.
Li Jie probably guessed that maybe Frank was worried about something like the Cosmic Cube, and Li Jie also told Rogers that this dangerous thing was better left to someone else for safekeeping. It is a good choice to give it to the Ancient One, or to throw it away from Odin's treasury, anyway, it is better than staying on Earth.
Because this thing is very likely to attract the attention of powerful people in the universe, maybe the ancient one can stop it, maybe it can't stop it. And S.H.I.E.L.D.'s research on the Cosmic Cube so far has only created some powerful weapons, and it is not the kind that is so strong that it is against the sky. The benefits and risks are not proportional.
But I just don't know if Nick Fury will agree to hand over the Cosmic Cube. Li Jie bit his upper lip with his lower teeth: "So, Colonel Star-Spangled Banner is Nick Fury?"
This is Li Jie's speculation, and it is also the speculation of several others. Because judging from the information just leaked, this is the most credible guess.
As for Colonel Stars and Stripes, he was a middle-aged white man, and he wasn't blind in one eye or anything. Since Nick can find a shadow to go to jail instead of himself, there's nothing wrong with dressing up and being white.
But to everyone's surprise, Frank shook his head slightly: "If Colonel Stars and Stripes is Nick Fury, then it is impossible for Mindy and Laura to find him." It may seem like a bit of a braggart, but he's the king of agents!"
Well, Frank does have a point, Mindy and Laura can find the clues of Nick Fury who is hiding so easily, and if they can find it, then both girls have reached a pretty good level in both detection and stealth.
"So, who is that Mr. Star-Spangled Banner?" Li Jie was suddenly curious.
Frank spread his palms: "An avid Captain America fan, he is far more fanatical about Captain America than Agent Colson inside S.H.I.E.L.D. is a fan of the real number one. ”
Li Jie didn't quite believe what Frank said, who else could be more fanatical than Colson?
Frank continued, "His name was John F. Walker, and he was in the Vietnam War at the same time as us. After the war, he joined Nick and worked in S.H.I.E.L.D. He is an avid fan of Team America, imitating the captain in everything from his speech and demeanor to his fighting movements. ”
At that time, a new generation of super soldier serum happened to be being developed, and John volunteered to participate in the experiment. He wants to be the second Captain America. Frank shook his head.
Li Jie knew that this result might not be too good: "So what happened later?
"It's really unsuccessful, and the development of a new generation of super soldiers is considered a failure. The ability can only reach eighty percent of the captain's ability, which looks pretty good. But there is a huge hidden danger, that is, it is easy to get irritated and short-tempered. This is a very fatal weakness. Those who participated in the experiment were abandoned, and for various reasons many did not survive the fifth year after the experiment. ”
Frank said with a sigh: "And John was secretly protected by Nick, and Nick and I have found a way to cure his anger so that he can return to normal life as much as possible." It wasn't easy, and it took almost twenty years for John to be able to control his temper and become a normal person again. ”
"Because I used to be an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., and now I am forced to live incognito. Nick and I would call him "American Agent", but he prefers to call himself Colonel Stars and Stripes. When Captain Rogers was still serializing comics under the pseudonym "American Dream", the main character in his comics was called Mr. Star-Spangled Banner, and he also had a wolfdog named Liberty Bonds. ”
Not only did John name himself Colonel Stars and Stripes, but he also had the same wolfdog. That's why I said that he was a fan of Team America's No. 1 Tianzi. Frank told Colonel the Star-Spangled Banner where he came from, and everyone understood it.
Colonel Star-Spangled Banner has some of the self-introduction of King Haibian, such as the fact that he used to be a Marine (in the sixties) and fought in the war (Vietnam War), and now he joined the Justice League because he wants to contribute to society.
I just don't know if joining the Justice League was his personal idea, or if Nick Fury gave the order behind his back.
So Lee Jay asked one of the most important questions: "So what does Nick Fury want to do? What does Black Cat have to do with Colonel Stars and Stripes? If I can say, Frank, I want to know." ”
Frank nodded: "I didn't intend to hide anything from the beginning, it's just that Nick's caution was a bit overdone. Now I can't hide it all, it's okay for me to say it all, maybe it's a good thing. ”
"Nick's backup plan is to form another super team outside of the Avengers, and the supercriminals who still have a cure for them will make amends for their sins. ”
How did Li Jie feel so familiar when he heard this, as if this is how the Illuminati dealt with Magneto.
Frank continued, "And the name of this organization is [Thunder Agents]!"
PS: John F. Walker, from Marvel Comics Captain America Magazine, is a man who admires Captain America but is short-tempered and irritable. People are not bad, but temper is the biggest flaw, so he is sometimes jealous of Captain America. He's a quirky guy.
He became the third Captain of America after being transformed into an American secret agent and learned the captain's own shield fighting skills from the imitator Master Masters, but because of various encounters after becoming Captain America. Let John understand that the gap between him and Captain America is not simply due to the gap in ability. It came from a gap in his heart, so he finally resigned as Captain America.
So, did anyone guess the identity of Colonel Stars and Stripes?
