CHAPTER XXVI
Although it is a pity that the two of them were not photographed, this information is enough for his last hot news. The journalist returned to the company with his cameraman and it took only half an hour to get the edited video on TV and online.
The video quickly became a hot topic in the United States. The supernatural powers of this kingdom are flying everywhere, but no one thinks it's a computer-generated video.
Then, the New York City Fire Department also quickly issued a statement that a family of three in the building was successfully rescued. Because of the timely rescue, they were not life-threatening except for inhaling excessive smoke.
Three hours later, Tony Stark's personal Facebook account was updated with a photo of him posing with three people.
"Hello everyone, see if these three children I have met are handsome?"
The background of this photograph is Tony Stark's villa in Marbury, set against the backdrop of the endless ocean behind him.
Tony Stark stands in the middle, with two skinny young men on the left and a big man on the right, who looks very strong, like a rugby player.
As a man with tens of millions of followers around the world, his Facebook post was retweeted by hundreds of thousands of people shortly after it was posted, and it quickly entered the eyes of journalists.
Tony Stark, who has been posting photos of himself and his fiancée showing affection recently, actually appeared in his Facebook account with photos of other men?
One by one, the reporters stepped forward like hounds smelling their prey, but after careful inspection, they were a little disappointed to find that the three people standing next to Tony Stark were all fresh faces. Neither the star they imagined, nor the big names in other areas of the United States.
Only Bulls sent a private message to Tony Stark with some excitement and some confusion.
"Hello Mr. Stark, I'm Boers from the New York Post. May I ask if the two people on your left are the superpowers who saved a family of three who extinguished a fire in the Brussels neighborhood yesterday? ”
……
"It's so naïve, boys, of course you can't reply to this letter."
Deliberately pulling this private message out of countless spam emails, Tony Stark said to the excited trio on the side.
"Journalists are not stupid. There are tens of thousands of emails that I DM on Facebook every day, and if I respond to this reporter, wouldn't it tell people that I've been following this all along? ”
Tony shook his head.
"It's not impossible, but the element of showmanship is too strong, and it is easy to be used as a black spot for attack in the future. If you want to complete a big mega-idol project, it's best for these journalists to 'accidentally' discover your identity. ”
He took out a bottle of juice, took a small sip, and placed it on the table.
Next to the juice bottle are several computers. The computers, connected by Jarvis, are used to monitor fire and police agencies throughout New York. Once he finds valuable and worthwhile news, Wang Dali on the other side will immediately open the portal and send the suitable mutants over.
In the next room, there are also a lot of clothes suitable for the three of them, so they can change into clothes suitable for going out at any time.
"The three of you are the first step, and then your classmates will slowly join, and finally radiate to all mutant groups."
Wang Dali, who was sitting in a chair, connected to the video call with Professor X and explained to both parties at the same time.
"You are the first and most important step. If you fail, it's going to be hard for the Superhero Idol Project to continue. ”
Wang Dali's words were undoubtedly putting pressure on the three young people. With the exception of Poppy the Iceman, the other two are a bit difficult to manage.
John the Burning Man is a detached character, and no one is convinced; Coulix doesn't have a good relationship with the little naughty in school, and naturally has opinions about Wang Dali, all of whom are thorny students.
Although temporarily serving as their teacher, Wang Dali is not a mutant after all. So he simply started a video call with Professor X, and let him solve it if anyone dared to blow up.
In the initial plan, Wang Dali thought about setting up a superhero association, allowing some mutants to join and partner with other superheroes, and slowly change their perception in people's eyes.
Officially, this is achievable, but a significant portion of superheroes are very characterful, uninhibited, and fond of individual heroism. Nine times out of ten, the Superhero Association saw it as a shackle, a 'stupid organization full of bureaucracy,' and eventually dismissed the idea.
Soon, Jarvis overhears a phone call and immediately picks it up.
"At the headquarters, this is the third detachment of the patrol team! There's a robbery at the Poliskin store on 66th Street! There were five or six people on the other side, armed with automatic rifles. The firepower is strong, ask for reinforcements! ”
"HQ received."
"Pete, it's time for you to play."
According to the location marked on the computer, Wang Dali opened a portal.
"Bring your student ID and tear your shirt when you transform, and 'accidentally' drop your ID out!"
"Yes!"
Dressed in a gray vest and black vest, Colossus stepped through the portal and appeared near the Poliskin shop. The surrounding cameras have been temporarily blocked by Jarvis.
As soon as Pete stood firm, a steady stream of gunfire rang in his ears. He burst out of the alley, puffed up his muscles and began to transform.
After the transformation of Colossus, the body will also become larger. He usually wears loose clothes, but this time he changed into a tight vest and waistcoat, and almost at the end of his transformation, he heard the sound of the cloth being torn.
The clothes he had just changed into and worth dozens of dollars had turned into several rags, revealing his entire metalized upper body.
"What's that?!"
Such a large lump of iron attracted everyone's attention as soon as it appeared. Colossus raised his hands in front of him and ran towards the robbers.
Every time he landed, the whole earth around him seemed to tremble.
"Oh my God!"
A policeman exclaimed, drawing a cross on his chest.
The robbers were sitting in a gray van with a punctured tire and two police cars standing sideways in front of them.
Luckily, there were no hostages in the car, so the robbers were just shooting at the police. The automatic rifles in their hands are much more powerful than the small pistols in the hands of the police, and they are completely pressing the police.
By the time Colossus appeared, the robbers had already grabbed an empty car with the driver running away, and sat down with a few pockets ready to go.
I saw the robbers take three steps and two steps, and stood in front of the vehicle with their big hands outstretched.
"Ha ——!"
He stretched out his hands and pressed them on the body, and with a piercing sound of metal twisting, the entire front of the car before it had time to start was squeezed into half by him, and it was bound to be scrapped.
"Shoot, shoot him!"
The panicked robbers opened fire on Pete, but the bullets couldn't penetrate his body. In the face of a hail of bullets, Colossus approached and punched one by one, simply knocking out all the robbers.
