The God of Death in American Comics

"The record of the SR71 Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft is 85000 feet, sir." A mechanical voice came from the helmet.

"Records are meant to be broken," the experimental Tony Stark shouted as he increased the power output of the thrusters under his feet.

"Sir, if the distance is too high, the surface will freeze severely and cause damage."

"Go on" Tony Stark looked at the night sky above his head.

The Mark 2 armor was flying at an astonishing speed in the dark night.

Altitude gain 65000 feet

70000 feet

80000 feet

83000 feet

The projection height instrument in the helmet is constantly updating the latest height.

"Crack, click, click," the sound of ice began to appear on the armor, but Tony Stark ignored it.

85254 feet

"Kick-kick-kick" ice is forming faster and faster.

The system suddenly shuts down automatically.

"Jarvis" Tony yelled in horror, as if he was having fun.

All the thrusters and electronic circuits of the whole body were shut down, and Tony only had time to scream in surprise before he quickly fell to the ground.

Tony, who was in the sky, had no point of stress. His hands and feet were flailing and he called his butler, trying to restart his phone.

"Jarvis, open the ailerons quickly." Tony shouted, looking at the ground getting closer.

Fortunately, Tony in his panic found the knob switch on the outside of his thigh.

Twist it hard to trigger the mechanism behind the armor.

"Bang bang bang" The huge recoil force directly caused the ice on the body to shatter instantly.

The screen flashed, Jarvis restarted, and when he was about to fall to the ground, the thrusters output full power, bringing Tony Stark back into the sky in a thrilling moment.

"Oh, hahahahaha." Tony Stark laughed happily.

Then he drove his armor and flew towards his home.

At the same time, in a villa in Manhattan.

In a luxurious bed, Alexander Pierce was reading a newspaper. What was recorded in the newspaper was not international news, but the recent mass protests in Brooklyn.

This can be regarded as a habit of their generation. Although the information they want is just a phone call away, this kind of reading before going to bed is still retained by me.

"Dong dong dong" At this time, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in." Pierce put down the newspaper and called.

"Sir, your phone has been ringing. I brought it up for you." An older maid came in with a vibrating mobile phone.

"Okay, I understand, Mary, you go and rest first." Pierce just took the phone and looked at it, and then ordered to the maid.

In the eyes of ordinary people, Pierce can be considered a good disguise. The servant he hired has been working in his house for ten years, but he does not know his true identity.

Of course, this identity does not refer to the director of S.H.I.E.L.D.

"Yes sir." Mary responded politely and turned to leave.

Pierce waited for a while before picking up the phone and pressing the answer button.

"Hello, Mr. Minister Pierce, sorry to bother you." came a slightly unfamiliar voice.

Pierce raised his eyebrows and asked, "Who are you?"

He knew when he picked up the phone just now that this number was not any familiar number in his memory.

But without exception, every mobile phone used by Pierce was encrypted, and ordinary people could not get their phone numbers at all.

This is also the reason why I click to answer the call. At least in terms of being able to call me and name him, the other party knows me relatively well.

"We seemed to have met once when William Stryker was at the Pentagon last time. I am very honored to meet Mr. Pierce." The person on the phone did not hide anything and directly reported his name.

This was Pierce's first impression of people from the Pentagon and the military. As for William Stryker,

Pierce thought for a moment before realizing that it was him.

The general who strongly resisted mutants every time he appeared in Congress, regarded mutants as a crisis for humanity, and devoted himself to eradicating mutants.

I heard that William Stryker has been in the limelight a lot in recent years thanks to some congressmen who hold the same ideals. But does Pierce know that General Stryker’s son is actually a mutant, but perhaps out of To save face, this General Stryker did not publicize it everywhere.

However, this kind of thing can't be hidden from ordinary people, but it can't be hidden from special organizations like SHIELD.

And it was S.H.I.E.L.D. during Hydra's latent period.

Thinking of this, Pierce smiled indifferently and didn't want to offend the other party. After all, this Stryker still has some power. I heard that an elite team of mutants was recently formed. The other party probably wants to ask him to vote this time. He wants to further strengthen his influence on the opponent. Get some real power on the Security Council or get some more supporters on the Congress side.

After thinking a lot for a moment, Pierce asked directly, "It turns out to be General Stryker. It's so late. Does General Stryker have anything to do with me?"

Although there are some speculations, a slick politician like Pierce will not be the first to say something. Anyway, it is always right to listen first. The other party who called me in the middle of the night should not just want to calm himself down.

"It's not a big deal. When my man was on duty, he was detained by the Minister's SHIELD team. Please let him go. He is mine." Stryker said on the phone.

"" Pierce was silent for a moment, and then asked, "I remember that our director and I had said this kind of thing a long time ago. As long as we can prove that we are government personnel, our SHIELD will not play tricks on our own people." "

This is no longer the Cold War period. After the rapid development of modernization, the domestic system has gradually improved. With the emergence of a series of authorities including the FBI, the Central Intelligence Agency, and the National Security Agency, SHIELD's power and influence have long since There is an overlapping phenomenon, and the White House has already made some noise. If Pierce's side did not operate well, it is estimated that S.H.I.E.L.D. would have been divided up by the local powerful institutions many years ago.

As for such exciting things, there haven't been too many in recent years. Either SHIELD's field agents were detained by the CIA, or fib's agents were captured by SHIELD's action team, and so on.

These are commonplace, and the issue of authority is always an endless topic. Pierce only serves as a lubricant in the middle, so that both parties will not directly start fighting in the country, so for these process issues , discussed with Nick Fury a long time ago.

"No, no, no, Mr. Minister, my person is very special this time. This person is a member of my special team." Stryker explained patiently on the other side.

Oh, Pierce understands, it turns out that the mutant was detained, no wonder this Stryker actually came to him.

After pondering for a while, it actually didn't matter to sell face to the other party. Pierce still liked the potential of mutants.

Of course, the potential here refers to war potential, and Pierce disdains the ability to spit and remove hair.

"No problem, General Stryker, what's the name of the person who was detained? I'll call the following." After thinking of some scenes, Pierce said.

"James Howlett, a Canadian mercenary, is a relatively loyal subordinate." Stryker said with a smile on the phone.
