Chapter 388: Uncle Ted
Faced with Mr. Fantastic's question, whether intentional or unintentional, Spider-Man lowered his head and said with a pun: "Yes, I saw it, and I was very satisfied!" Iron Man also jumped out of the portal of the warping force field: "Then we better hurry up, the boys have already brought the Falcon from the hospital." ”
Spider-Man's whole person was like a stiff stone statue, standing in place and refusing: "I see, I'd better stay here, I suddenly want to be quiet." ”
Iron Man smiled and pretended not to understand, "Who is Jingjing?" ”
"Okay, then you can stay here, Hawkeye and Romanoff have already been sent to the Anti-Wave Warping Force Field prison anyway. The only one left is the Falcon, and I'll take care of it. ”
Seeing Iron Man disappear at the end of the corridor, Spider-Man suddenly shuddered, and said in a tone full of gloom: "Reed, ask you a question"
The relationship between Spider-Man and the Fantastic Four was already very good, and Mr. Fantastic put down the work in his hand and nodded: "Yes, what's wrong." ”
"Why?" But he never expected that it was not Peter who was talking in Spider-Man's body at the moment. Parker himself. In an indifferent tone, he said coldly, "I really don't understand why you joined Tony's side. ”
Why did he join Iron Man and become a registered hero registered with the Federation, this is a difficult question to answer, and it is also a question that Ymir has been unable to figure out. Mr. Fantastic pondered for a moment and muttered, "This question is difficult to explain"
"Really!" Under the pressure of Spider-Man's gloomy eyes, Mr. Fantastic himself shook his head. Admitted: "Okay, maybe I'm not right. This seems to explain just me. Never inclined to explain to others"
"There is a past, not many people know about it. Because, well, because I don't often mention that I used to have an uncle, Uncle Ted, my father's older brother."
Spider-Man listened quietly to Mr. Fantastic's recounting, perhaps because he was not actually a person in this circle, so he didn't know much about the mental activities of superheroes like Mr. Fantastic.
"My father was a dutiful man. And always not very kind, he wanted me to be the kind of person he wanted me to be. But Uncle Ted, who was funny and accommodating, used to take me out on the street twice for ice cream and talk to me about the world. Unlike the rest of my family, he's not a scientist, he's a fiction writer. He thinks everyone is funny, he talks to strangers, wears different colors of socks, and eats in a humble inn. ”
"My Uncle Ted is a strange man. Life is funny and colorful, I love him! Mr. Fantastic's tone changed. "But he is also very stubborn, and he ignores discipline, no matter who persecutes him, he will return the favor with a tooth for a tooth and double the reward." ”
"Unfortunately, when Joe. The McCarthy Commission of Inquiry into UnAmerican Activities was in its heyday. They look for communists among the military, politicians and artists, and if you ignore them, if you refuse to obey the laws they enact, you will most likely be summoned to the court of the committee at once. ”
"It sounds like a precursor to the Global Safety Council, and what they're doing is no different from what Tony is doing," Spider-Man said. ”
Mr. Fantastic nodded, "And my Uncle Ted happens to be in touch with the object of the committee's investigation, he used to be a soldier, my family is involved in politics, and he himself is a writer, so he was summoned to appear before the non-American commission of inquiry and defend himself." He was asked to prove that he was not a member of the Communist Party, and to identify those whom he felt might be worshippers of communism. ”
Mr. Marvel had never seen the transcript of his uncle's debate with the committee, but he always remembered Uncle Ted's summary of his closing arguments: "Die, he told the judges of the committee: Die!" ”
Spider-Man said lightly: "It sounds like your uncle is a very brave man, more courageous and righteous than most of us. ”
"No, you didn't get the point of what I was going to say, Peter. He was wrong, my uncle started a battle that he could not win, and it didn't matter whether the non-American investigators were right or wrong, because they were on the side of the majority of the public, and they represented the laws of the Union. ”
"Like Tony?"
Mr. Fantastic nodded, "Yes, it's like Tony." They held my uncle for six months for contempt of court, and when he was released, his entire career was over. No one wanted to hire him, buy his stories, or answer his phone calls, and even my father refused to let him attend our family dinner. He lost what he had, his house, his money, his reputation, and in the end, it killed him! ”
"If we take away the law, what will we be? It will only be some barbarians who are keen on violent blood and add blood to the knife all day long. That's why Tony and I want to give the law the power to govern superheroes. When we violate it for murder, because of kidnapping, or because we just want to sue the authorities, it can take a cause away from us. ”
Spider-Man asked in a deep voice, "Whether the law is correct or not?" So what if the law also has a misunderstanding? ”
"The law is the law, Peter. I, Wonder Woman, and Hulk, we support it because we truly believe that we have to support it, and whether it exists or not, as long as it meets the needs of the majority of the public, we can only stand firmly on its side. ”
Mr. Fantastic spread his hands and said, "In any case, the reason why we can call ourselves superheroes is because we protect the interests of the public." If the law is wrong, it will eventually be corrected. ”
Spider-Man said meaninglessly: "However, change requires bloodshed and sacrifice. ”
Mr. Fantastic seemed to realize something from Spider-Man's so many questions tonight, he closed his eyes, and his voice became as tired and tired as Iron Man: "Maybe there can be an orderly and legal way, we can't just follow the laws we like, because we are superheroes after all" (to be continued......
