Chapter 007: There Are No Them in This World
For more than 20 years, Hydra has continuously consolidated its position in the world, grasped the trend of social development through various means of public opinion and monitoring, and even did not hesitate to tamper with history textbooks for this purpose. And in order to maximize people's subconscious obedience, they make the existence of superpowered people public, provoking the hostility of ordinary humans towards them. They go after the superpowers, throwing them out from time to time, releasing kills to the public, pretending to be completely on the side of ordinary humans, and enlisting people's support - mainly obedience.
One ring after another, continuous techniques. I have to say that so far, they are all skilled.
Of course, even with such a totalitarian rule, Hydra will not be able to win the hearts and minds of everyone. There are some people who see it for what it really is and have the courage to stand up and resist. Among them, of course, the remnants of the former S.H.I.E.L.D. are indispensable, and there are also some spontaneously organized forces, such as the current Resistance Group. However, with Hydra completely dominating the situation, they can only operate in secret.
All in all, the situation is very bad. Rhaegar came into this world in such an environment, and he didn't know what role he would play. If it were a surreal video game from before time travel, he would have been happy to spend four or five hundred dollars, after all, it was a relatively grand game setting. But when this 'game background' will make you die or even die in minutes, then it's not the same thing.
Well, Rhaegar already had a general idea of the history of this world, and he started searching the internet for something else.
According to Banner, Hydra monitors almost the entire internet. If someone Google 'how to join the Resistance,' within twenty minutes a Hydra agent knocked on the door and checked the meter. Now Rhaegar doesn't have to worry about that. Not to mention the resistance base he is in, the network here is basically untraceable. In addition, Zatanna's phone also has an anti-tracking plug-in installed. And Rhaegar wasn't going to search for any sensitive words - at least the ones he was searching for weren't too sensitive for Hydra.
The first thing he looked up was 'Arms Merchant', and the number one in the relevant search results was still a company called 'Stark Industries', and its CEO was still called Tony Stark.
Rhaegard admits that he was a bit surprised by the result. He thought that after S.H.I.E.L.D. was overthrown, the Stark family would be liquidated because Howard Stark, the head of the family, was one of the founders of S.H.I.E.L.D. And now...... Well, Zatanna says that Stark Industries is Hydra's largest arms supplier, and Tony Stark is a foul-minded playboy as Rhaegar knew before he 'transformed' into Iron Man. No, the Stark of this world is still more than that.
Rhaeggar's second key word is 'the richest man in Gotham'. When he saw the first piece of news about 'Mr. Wayne is throwing a charity party at his Gotham Hotel, ......', Rhaegar became a little depressed from his last search, and his mood was a lot more relaxed. It's not that Iron Man is not as good as Batman, but with Batman, the situation is not too bad. And in their respective movies, Iron Man spends more time dealing with his own problems, while Batman is always a goal to the end, and the latter is more reliable in comparison. Next...... No, wait! 'Throw a charity party to pray for my 35-year-old son with cerebral palsy'? Oh my God...... The 'Mr. Wayne' in the headline turned out to be Thomas Wayne! The old Waynes are still alive! Bruce Wayne became cerebral palsy?!
Yes, this is more unacceptable than the plot of Bruce Wayne dying in Sin Alley, Martha Wayne becoming a Joker, and Thomas Wayne becoming Batman in the DC Big Event Flashpoint Paradox. At least Rhaegar couldn't accept it for a while, because there was no Batman in this world at all!
By the way, the alien spacecraft that crashed in Metropolis in 1978, the fuse that led to the overthrow of S.H.I.E.L.D. and the rise of Hydra to power, was, if nothing else, the vehicle used by a Kryptonian baby to come to Earth. During that battle, the ship and the Kryptonian baby turned hands several times, and their whereabouts were unknown. So, it's likely that Superman won't appear either!
Without Superman and Batman, this is still a DC world? Then Stark also had a problem, and Marvel seemed to be out of place!
Rhaegar then goes on a frenzied search for superheroes who are better known in his 'hometown'.
Quinn and his son are still at sea, and they are also shipwrecked. It's now the third year after the shipwreck, and Green Arrow still has a chance to play.
A high school student named Peter Parker in Queens, New York, lives with his aunt, and Spider-Man can also look forward to it.
However, a mansion called Xavier's School for Gifted Teens in New York's West Chester District was outlawed in the late nineties. At the time, things were still in a lot of uproar, and the newspapers were in the news that Hydra had received information that dozens of superpowered people calling themselves 'mutants' were harboring there, and they had gathered to plot to attack human facilities. At the time, it was thought that Hydra should go through the legal process first. It's just that it didn't take long for a group of mutants to emerge who really wanted to subvert humanity. They put into action and caused great damage. This time, people applauded the 'mutants' being killed. And the X Academy and X-Men, etc., which Rhaegar knew before crossing over, naturally have no news.
In addition, a particle accelerator exploded in the central city of the western United States, and most of the cities were affected, and a group of superpowers were indeed born. They became a footnote for Hydra to show that he was on the same side as normal humans, and one by one they were eliminated and captured. And in this, there is no one called Barry Allen. In fact, Canterlot has never had a guy named Barry Allen in history. So, bye bye Flash!
It's New York again. Reid Richards is still a young scientist with a poor life, while Susan Storm is married to someone else. Moreover, the 'supposedly' invisible woman was not married to Reed's former friend, Dr. Destruction Victor, but Reed's current friend, Ben Graeme, the 'should' stoneman. What's more, Susan's younger brother, 'should' Thunderbolt, is not an impulsive young man who often gets into trouble as Rhaegar set up in his previous life, but a calm and responsible university teaching assistant. Judging by their changes, it seems that the Fantastic Four are also going to say goodbye.
Seeing the back, Rhaegar calmed down instead. He had been thinking on the opposite side of Hydra before, but in fact, things were not necessarily bad. After all, Hydra has been dominating the world for more than two decades, and people's lives don't seem to be too bad – at least he hasn't seen such an example. So, not having those superheroes, isn't it actually a bad thing?
However, it is also true that the superpowered person was chased by the Hydra. Thinking about it like this, his attitude wavered again. If Hydra stopped targeting the superpowers, there would be far fewer people who wanted to rebel against them......
Just as Rhaegar was thinking this, there was a sudden 'boom'. It was the Black Canary, and she broke down the door.
"What's the progress now?"
The Black Canary asked about this as soon as she came in, and neither Zatanna nor Banner could give an accurate answer. They all looked at Rhaegar in unison.
"Uh, I'll see...... Hey, I feel my feet, no, the feet of this corpse. However, it should take some time to take action. ”
"But we don't have time." Black Canary said with a frown.
Seeing her anxious look, Zatanna immediately asked, "What's wrong?" ”
The black canary took a deep breath, then spread his hands: "The Punisher is coming." ”
