Although the full name is not named in the diary.

But there is no doubt that the above-mentioned Rod must be Tony Stark's best, or only friend, Air Force Colonel James Rhodes.

Otherwise, how could he show up at his own birthday party?

It can't be another guy named Rhodes, right?

Playboy doesn't think it's such a coincidence.

So the question is precisely here, why did Rhodes "Haibian" himself?

Or such an important occasion at your own birthday party!

It seems that there should have been a very serious conflict and contradiction between himself and Rod, so that he turned his face to such an extent!

So~

What exactly is the conflict?

Because he doesn't know the cause and effect, Tony Stark really can't imagine it for the time being.

But no matter what kind of conflict and contradiction, Rhodes wouldn't do such a thing, right?

But what made Playboy even more unimaginable was another thing, Rhodes actually snatched his armor!

How is this kind of thing possible!

You know, it's a steel armor, and it's all under Jarvis's control.

No one else can use it without his Big Tony's authorization.

In other words, if he didn't want Tony, even if he put the armor in someone's hands, the other party wouldn't be able to use it at all.

So where is the "snatching" of the word?

The steel armor designed by Playboy has no chance of being snatched away!

"Sir, it seems that you from another universe really had a thrilling birthday."

The voice of the intimate artificial intelligence Jia Wei sounded, and he teased his own boss, "It's so hot that even the house almost blew up." ”

Jarvis said it unintentionally, but it made Tony Stark's brow furrow slightly.

What's going on here?

Did the "big war" between him and Rhodes reach the point where even their own house was blown up?

That's too special, isn't it?

Did Rhodes fight himself with a grenade?

Playboy really can't understand that he had a fight with a good friend, and this kind of thing could happen?

Soon, though.

Tony Stark combined the context of the diary to come up with a reasonable guess.

The "big battle" between himself and Rhodes mentioned in the diary should be a situation where both sides are wearing steel armor!

So Rod not only snatched the steel armor from his own hands, but also put it on the spot.

Then a big war broke out with his own destroyer!

Only in this way can it be called a "big war", and it is possible to blow up the house.

Merely~

Even if they put on the armor, did he and Rhodes fire at each other?

How did the conflict come to this?

Tony Stark really couldn't figure out what it was that would make the two of them do this.

"'Iron Pimple War'!"

"This should be the 'Iron Pimple War' mentioned in the previous diary!"

And after coming to the conclusion of the Iron Warframe, Tony Stark had another flash of inspiration.

A spoiler from a diary long ago comes to mind.

At that time, the diary mentioned that when he was about to die of palladium poisoning, he went crazy and contributed a lot of famous scenes.

One of them is the battle with Rhodes!

Calculate the time, if it weren't for the reminder of the diary, so that he could solve the problem of palladium poisoning first, then he should indeed be dying by now, right?

That's right!

The front and back are on!

So it seems that the "Battle of the Iron Pimples" mentioned in the previous diary is most likely the big battle at the birthday party with this spoiler.

"I see!"

After connecting the front and back, Tony Stark's train of thought suddenly opened up, and he sorted things out more or less.

It seems that in that other universe, the other self knew that he was about to die, so he made all kinds of crazy moves at the birthday party.

Otherwise, he would not be called "crazy" by Zhou Cheng.

How crazy it is, see "Peeing in the Iron Armor" and "Sitting on a Donut and Eating a Donut" for details.

There is even a good chance that he is wearing a steel armor to participate in this birthday party.

This is indeed in line with the playboy's self-styled and arbitrary nature.

And what about his good friend Rhodes?

Naturally, he couldn't see himself like that, so he would stop himself and stop his crazy actions.

And considering that he is wearing steel armor, how can Rhodes stop himself?

Naturally, it was a different set of armor.

Then what happened next is a matter of course.

Although he didn't experience the state of another self, the playboy can still empathize with what kind of state the other party was in at that time.

It is impossible for the other party to ignore Rhodes!

The contradiction between the two sides just appeared, and it began to escalate and evolved into a big war!

Well, that's what it should look like.

"Sir, there's nothing wrong with your whole theory, except for one point."

And when Tony Stark told Jarvis about his reasoning, Jarvis hit the nail on the head with a problem, "No one else can use your Warframe without your authorization, including Colonel Rhodes." ”

"So, haven't you already given the answer?"

Tony Stark spread his hands as a matter of course, "That must be my authorization!" ”

Even if this didn't happen to him, he was still a "homotope" of himself.

So Tony Stark can still understand the other one's actions.

I'm going to die, so I can't take the steel armor with me, right?

Then it is better to take this opportunity to give Rod a set of steel armor, which can be regarded as leaving a legacy.

I won't let my life's work be cut off in the world!

So, is that why Rhodes got his armor and became a war machine?

The loss playboy thought that it was because the other one couldn't withstand the pressure of the military and was forcibly snatched away by the military.

After doing it for a long time, it turned out that he took the initiative to send it out.

But yes, that's right.

How could the self in the other world be so incompetent that he couldn't even cope with the hearing?

It turns out that this is the truth!

"So sir, what do you think now?"

"Is there also consideration of opening up the mandate for Colonel Rhodes?"

Jarvis's voice rang in his ears again, interrupting Tony Stark's thoughts.

The playboy also immediately fell into deep thought.

Yes, the other one gave Rhodes a set of armor, so what about himself?

"No, I'm not going to do that."

With just a slight hesitation, Tony Stark made such a decision.

The Destroyer is unique, his Big Tony's, and no one can get a piece of the pie.

Even Rhodes!

Playboy believes that the other self must have made this decision because he was about to die.

Otherwise, it would not have been possible to be so cheap to the military in any case.

After all, Rod's identity is there, and giving the armor to Rhode is equivalent to giving it to the military, so Tony Stark will not do such a thing.

If this is the case, how did this war machine in this universe come into being? 】

[Or will it not appear at all?] 】

[Then if you face the enhanced version of the whip later, won't Iron Man die? ] That's not a big guy that Iron Man can deal with alone. 】

[No, Stark didn't go to Morocco to race at all, and the whip didn't attack Stark, and he wasn't caught. 】

[So the whip was rescued by Justin Hammer, and the two teamed up to secretly deal with Iron Man, and made a group of armor to hunt down Iron Man or something, and it may not happen. 】

[The final battle of "Iron Man II", the famous scene of a group of steel armor brawls, won't it happen? ] 】

[Unrecognizable! The plot of this part is really unrecognizable. 】

That's right!

This war machine in the universe will never appear again!

Tony Stark nodded to himself.

Rather than having Rhodes wear armor and become a puppet controlled by the military, it is better to maintain the status quo.

In this universe, the Destroyer or something, it's enough to have his big Tony!

But the thought had just flashed through his mind, and the playboy was immediately slapped in the face.

What's that?

A swarm of steel armor hunts after you?

Or was it a collaboration between Ivan Vanko and Justin Hammer?

Those two jumping clowns, together, actually did something!

"Hammer, you guy, you really won't let go of every opportunity."

The playboy couldn't help but sneer.

Although the diary makes it clear that it is a group of steel armor created by Ivan Vanke and Justin Hammer.

But Tony Stark still didn't take Justin Hammer to heart at all.

Playboy knew the guy too well, and he knew that Hammer Industries simply didn't have that ability.

The so-called alliance between the two is undoubtedly a model in which Ivan Vanke provides technology and Hammer Industries provides resources.

So Justin Hammer is not worth mentioning, and the only one who really pays attention to Tony Stark is Ivan Vanko!

It has long been said in the diary that this person has mastered his own technology, and even created a "strengthened" version of the armor.

As mentioned in the diary a long time ago, when this man made a comeback, he and the war machine joined forces to defeat him.

Although Tony Stark has always considered himself unbeatable, he is the world's top scientist.

But there is no doubt that Ivan Vanke, who inherited the relevant technology from Anthony Vanke, is enough to make Playboy pay attention.

Henchmen!

That whip Ivan Vanke is a big henchman!

Even Tony Stark had to admit it.

"Jarvis, don't you have any clues about Ivan Vanko?"

Thinking of this, Tony Stark immediately began to ask about his artificial intelligence.

"Sir, there are no relevant clues."

"I screened and compared all the Ivan Vanke I found, and none of them were eligible."

"I don't think Ivan Vanko used that name for the most part."

Jarvis gave the answer.

"Stay tuned."

Tony Stark wasn't surprised by this, but continued to give Jarvis a command.

It's just that the playboy would never have thought that Ivan Vanke, who he had been looking for, would have already gone to the S.H.I.E.L.D. prison.

Oh, no.

To be exact, it should be Nick Fury's private secret base.

Considering that S.H.I.E.L.D. was infiltrated by Hydra, Nick Fury immediately used the power of his own personal channels to take over after having Agent Hill capture Ivan Vanko.

So that the relevant technology does not flow to the Hydra.

So if there are no surprises, Tony Stark should never find Ivan Vanke again.

Of course, being whipped out of nowhere and attacking something will not happen either.

But these things, Tony Stark is impossible to know.

But there's one thing Tony Stark is sure of.

That is, he will continue to study more powerful armors.

In order to deal with the possibility of a strengthened version of the Whip Warframe that he and the War Machine can only defeat!

[But if that's the case, it's actually a good thing for Rod. 】

[At least you don't have to be accidentally crippled by Vision during the Hero Civil War!] 】

[After all, the strength of Vision is indeed too strong, and the steel armor or something is completely scum in front of him, and it will be fatal if it is rubbed. 】

[Although Thor has always shouted that he is the strongest Avenger, he may not be stronger than Vision.] 】

[Especially before the metamorphosis, Thor, it is impossible to be the opponent of Vision.] 】

[That is, Vision doesn't want to make a move, otherwise the civil war can't be fought at all, and Vision at that time can sweep the entire Avengers alone! ] 】

Was Rhodes actually crippled during the civil war?

Tony Stark furrowed his eyebrows.

He had always believed that the civil war was just a "friendly exchange."

After all, both sides of the battle are superheroes, even former colleagues, and the diary also says that neither of them has a killer.

Playboy naturally thinks.

Aside from the official arrest of some superheroes, there should be no serious consequences.

Who would have thought that it would really appear!

Rhodes was crippled!

I was accidentally injured by a vision.

"Vision!"

The name immediately attracted Tony Stark's attention.

The diary has mentioned it before, but only in a few words.

Playboy knows that this is the love of the Scarlet Witch, and at the same time the end is miserable.

Not to mention being killed many times, he finally fell into a dismemberment.

Tony Stark never imagined that Vision was so strong!

During the Civil War, Rhodes apparently wore steel armor and fought as a war machine.

As a result, he was accidentally crippled by Vision.

Even in Zhou Cheng's eyes, the steel armor was completely worthless in front of the illusion, and it would be fatal to be wiped casually by the other party.

What the hell, is that vision really that strong?

More powerful than Thor, one person can sweep the entire Avengers?
