Ignoring the covert surveillance of S.H.I.E.L.D., Sean's life trajectory remains the same, kicking out the nasty stumbling block of Watsonton, and both Osborne Industries and Ambrera have grown at a rapid pace, which has somewhat reinvigorated the confidence of the lazy and comfortable Harry, who is said to have appeared on the board of directors often lately, and is gradually beginning to have a voice.

Dr. Connors was busy working on the clinical trial phase of Krees's drug, which was the most brilliant achievement of his life, and Connors was more willing to do it himself, ending the rare vacation of Gwen, and also participating in tedious and boring experiments, collecting information and data of the experimenters, as well as the vital signs after the injection of the serum drug.

Everything is running on a normal trajectory, as a manager, Sean is a little idle for a while, he has to pay attention to the recent changes in the situation through Skynet, close the weapons manufacturing plant Stark Industries, and make it clear that he will enter the energy field in the future, and the arms business and manufacturing plants under his name are all packaged and sold to Hammer Industries, which is also a defense contractor.

As soon as this news was released, it shook the entire energy industry, and those old energy giants were shocked, if it was other companies that transformed into cross-borders, then these oil giants, energy tycoons would not have the slightest reaction, and entering this industry meant abiding by the rules of the game they made, but Tony Stark was different.

Leading the former leader of the military industry, entering the energy industry with a fixed class in one fell swoop, and occupying the market with new energy sources is undoubtedly a silent provocation to the old system, where will the big men who sit on the throne of power sit back and watch the hateful playboys mess with all this, relying on the energy monopoly to make money, they will not allow others to interfere.

Even Stark Industries, which is deeply powerful, can't touch this sweet and hearty cake in vain, and an undercurrent gradually gathers, waiting for the right moment to strike a fatal blow at Tony Stark.

Iron Man's situation is not optimistic, and the superhero group Fantastic Four on the other side has become a big star in New York. Compared with the playboy who is full of scandals, Americans who put family values first prefer the gentle Reed, the hot and glamorous Susan, as well as the lively Johnny and Ben, who acts as a mascot.

This fun and warm small group has won the heartfelt love of most of the citizens, and some people have even set up a special blog site for them, and it is said that the number of fans is not to be underestimated, which makes Iron Man quite resentful, and he is also involved in the battle to stop Doctor Doom, but he is interpreted as a funny clown by the tabloids with ulterior motives.

The above is the current situation of superheroes, and the problem of mutants is even more serious with the shining appearance of Magneto, and William Stryker has received strong support from the White House and the military, and has begun to build a team called "X-Weapon" to deal with mutant militants who threaten social stability.

Sean's eyes flickered, this was probably the best time for him to get involved in the mutant camp and let Stryker deal with Professor Charles, and as for the other mutant leader, he was looking forward to a head-to-head confrontation with the famous Magneto.

"Jean-Grey......" Sean tapped his fingers on the table, saying that the most threatening of the mutants was perhaps not Professor Charles alone.

The Phoenix Girl with strong potential, once she is awakened to the dark personality hidden in her heart, she is enough to manipulate the power of the molecular level, and once she is fully fired, even if Professor Charles and Magneto stop it together, she may not be able to stop it!

According to the ability of mutants, Jean is an omega-level mutant at the top, with almost unlimited potential, and the world's most powerful psychic master, Professor Charles, is only an alpha-level mutant, although mentally extremely close to the omega level, but compared to the host of the phoenix's power, it is still a little worse.

Jean is not the only mutant in the world with omega-level potential, such as Barbie the Iceman, who can freeze moisture in the air into ice, reduce the internal and external temperature of the body at will, and create ice without the need for a medium, which has broken the laws of nature physically. But Babi's power is not strong, and the omega level only represents its own great potential, not an absolute answer.

At present, there are many mutants in the world with omega-level potential, but the only one who can truly display this powerful power is Jean-Grey, a host chosen by a great being in the universe, who can manipulate the molecular structure of matter and energy, and it is difficult for almost any mutant to harm her.

Sighing softly, Sean's gaze fell on the invitation on the table, "Stark Industries' 3rd Firefighter Family Fundraising Party?" He whispered the words.

Is that Iron Man still in the mood for such an occasion?

Sean thought that Tony should be worried about the palladium toxin in his body now, those deadly toxins that spread along the blood vessels, will gradually kill Iron Man, and later, under the reminder of Nick Fury, Stark found a model of the new element from his father's relics, and synthesized it to make a new reactor instead of palladium.

"Maybe it's time to meet the reborn Iron Man." Sean thought to himself.

…………

The fundraiser for the families of the firefighters was supposed to take place six months ago, but Tony was making steel armor in the lab, and then a charity event supported by local celebrities and government officials was put on hold because of Obadai's betrayal.

It wasn't until Pepper took over as CEO of Stark Industries that he remembered to save the company's declining popularity and reputation by hosting a charity event.

Stark Mansion, underground laboratory, Tony was replacing the palladium energy plate in the reactor on his chest with the sound of dynamic music, and at the same time took out a portable blood detector, which showed that the toxin content in the blood was fourteen percent, which was much more than before, he pursed his lips and sighed imperceptibly.

"It's a sarcastic joke, and the device that kept me alive would have killed me as well." He lifted his clothes, and near the chest where the reactor was installed, tiny black veins like cobwebs spread, like a bewitching mandala that was in full bloom of life.

During the attack on Afghanistan, a shell exploded near Tony's at close range, and countless tiny fragments pierced his body, although some of them were later removed, the shrapnel near the heart could only be absorbed by the energy device - Stark transformed it into an ark reactor to power steel armor, but the element palladium, which is the driving force, will also cause him to be chronically poisoned.

As smart as Tony, he knows that the solution is very simple, find a few top doctors, perform a minor operation on himself, take out the shrapnel near his heart, and then give up his identity as Iron Man, he can make this gradually decaying body regain its vitality!

"I'm Iron Man." Tony muttered that it was impossible for him to stop using steel armor and give up his new superhero identity!

However, the continued use of the Ark reactor will allow the palladium toxin to seep into the body along the blood circulation, gradually eroding the internal organs, and causing the playboy to slowly die.

"So what, I'm Iron Man!" He silently stared at himself in the mirror and repeated it again.
