Hufflepuff in the Marvel Universe

As Thor was pulled back to Asgard by Loki, Gu Zhongyan also said goodbye to New Mexico and embarked on the return journey.

Although he could just Apparate and return home, it was nice to be able to enjoy a leisurely vacation.

Driving the Chevrolet I got from Nick Fury, I slowly returned to New York. The journey was smooth, but when I passed the Brooklyn Bridge, I encountered a huge traffic jam.

Looking at the endless stretch of road in front of him, which was at least several hundred meters long, Gu Zhongyan frowned. How long would this be blocked?

If I had known this, I shouldn't have driven back. Isn't it bad to just use magic honestly?

Moreover, his physique is far beyond that of ordinary people, and he can vaguely hear the sound of commotion coming from the bridge. Obviously this is not an accidental traffic jam.

Was there a serious traffic accident?

Seeing that the traffic had completely stopped, many people began to get out of the car and wait and see. Gu Zhongyan also got out of the car in a hurry and looked towards the center of the accident with his head held high.

He was tall and tall, with long legs. Even if he stood among a group of whites and blacks, he stood out. In addition, his eyesight was very good. He could pass through the long traffic and see the cause of the accident at a glance.

In the middle of the bridge, a huge humanoid creature, somewhat similar to the Hulk, was confronting Beware.

He was wearing baggy pants and was bare-chested. His whole body was covered with cracks, his skin was scorched, and his muscles looked like they were piled up with stones.

The whole figure seems to have been completely swollen after being soaked in water for seven or eight days. One finger is as thick as an ordinary person's wrist. The dark eyes are hidden between the eye slits that are almost squeezed into a line. They are almost like the rock elemental creatures in the game. There is no difference.

stone man?

Seeing this scene, Gu Zhongyan was stunned for a moment, and then recognized the identity of the man in front of him as the Stone Man from the Fantastic Four.

The Fantastic Four are one of the most classic hero teams in the Marvel Universe. Before the rise of the movie universe, they were the representative heroic group in New York that crushed the Avengers.

As the name suggests, the Fantastic Four consists of four members, namely the genius scientist Reed Richards, his fiancée Susan Stone, Susan's brother Johnny Stone, and the pilot Ben Graham.

Not long ago, during a space mission, due to accidental circumstances, a strong ray storm was encountered during the voyage, causing the space station to crash. The Doum Group, worth hundreds of billions, the company where Gu Zhongyan was an intern not long ago, was on the verge of bankruptcy.

It can be said that the birth of the Fantastic Four was completely based on Doom Group. After the Fantastic Four and their group encountered cosmic rays, Doom Group's stock set a record for the fastest decline since the Great Depression. one.

In the end, Mr. Victor von Doom failed in his business venture and had to leave New York with hatred and return to his hometown of Latvinia. He eventually became the lifelong enemy of the Fantastic Four and one of the most classic villains in the Marvel Universe, Doctor Doom.

After returning to Earth, the effects of cosmic rays began to appear. Susan mysteriously disappeared and suddenly appeared, Ben turned into a stone monster, Reed's body became stretchable like a rubber band, and Johnny turned into a ball of raging bears. The flames soared into the sky.

The four then formed a superhero group and became the Fantastic Four.

"Imperfection" is what distinguishes the Fantastic Four from other superheroes. Although the four have superpowers, they all have shortcomings in their personalities.

And unlike most superheroes, they like to hide their identities. Compared with Iron Man, who comes from a large consortium, they tend to be more civilians and have a closer relationship with the people.

Because of this, the Fantastic Four's popular support far exceeds that of heroic groups such as the Avengers.

The scene before him was obviously when the stone man had just mutated and was still unable to control and accept himself.

It's no wonder that the Thing is also a mutation after all, Mr. Fantastic is a rubber man, the Invisible Woman is invisible, and the Human Torch is a burning flame. There is no change in appearance.

He was the only one who originally had no outstanding appearance. He could be said to be an ordinary person among ordinary people. However, after mutating, he became like this.

His ferocious appearance is like an ugly monster in the game. Even his fiancée cannot accept his appearance. Her first reaction when seeing him like this is to run.

The same goes for the current commotion. He obviously saw a middle-aged man preparing to commit suicide by jumping into the river and wanted to save him, but when the other person saw him, he looked like he was seeing a ghost.

The policeman's hands were shaking so much that he held up his pistol tremblingly and shouted something like "put your hands up" and "put down your weapon".

For comic reasons, the special shape of the stone man may be a guarantee of sales.

But when everything is put into reality, it is endless pain.

No one would feel comfortable facing the fear and disgust in the eyes of the onlookers.

He obviously wanted to save people but was treated as a devil. The stone man, who was already filled with fire in his heart, was naturally angry. He ignored the police's threats and turned around and left, causing even greater commotion amid a burst of gunfire.

What happened next was almost the same as what happened in the movie. The fire truck arrived, but it accidentally slipped. The Fantastic Four teamed up to save the fire truck. Amidst the cheers, the Fantastic Four became people's new favorites and occupied all the places. News headlines.

The birth of the Fantastic Four had a greater impact than Tony Stark's announcement that he was Iron Man.

After all, compared to the Fantastic Four who were born as civilians, although Tony Stark is famous, he is still too far away from ordinary people.

Secondly, Iron Man's superpowers come from the Iron Armor, which is supported by ultra-high technology and huge money. Ordinary people have no money and no technology, so they can only look at the Iron Armor.

But the Fantastic Four are different. Their superpowers come from their own mutations and there are no additional requirements.

The rich rely on technology, while the poor rely on mutation. Compared to Iron Man, who relies on technology, the Fantastic Four, who rely on mutation, are naturally more people-friendly.

In any country and under any system, civilian heroes are always the most worthy of praise.

Why Captain America is a symbol of the spirit of the Ugly Country is not because he was born as a civilian and eventually became a superhero who saves the world, which fully meets the expectations of the Ugly Country people.

Speaking of Captain America, the Invisible Woman and Human Torch in the Fantastic Four are indeed closely related to Captain America. Otherwise, Johnny wouldn't be so similar to Captain America.

None of this has anything to do with Gu Zhongyan, but when he looked at the stone man who still looked lost despite the cheers of the crowd, a smile flashed in Gu Zhongyan's eyes.

It seems that he is also going to prepare to deal with the Fantastic Four.
