infinite hero

Victor von Doom, the original president of Doom Company, the old enemy of the Fantastic Four, and also Reed's love rival, is the black-robed man who was identified as "not a good person" by Sid at a glance.In view of the above factors, his appearance at Reed and Susan's wedding is obviously ulterior motives.

Come to think of it, he and Reed have been rivaling each other since college.Even someone as uncompetitive as Reed knew their relationship was essentially hostile.

Relying on his natural flexibility, cunning, management skills, and opportunism, he outperformed Reed within a certain period of time after graduation, gaining both wealth and beauty.

But that's all in the past!Doom thought frantically.Reed is now married to Susan, and he can only live on masks and armor forever!How can Reid get all this?Just rely on those little cleverness and good luck that come out at the critical moment?

As arrogant as Dum, of course he will not admit that his so-called "smartness and good luck" are part of Reed's strength, and it is not accidental.

It was an explanation Doom never dreamed of; he believed he should be a winner in life.But when facing the cruise ship on the big river in the distance, he only felt that reality gave him a hot slap in the face.Jealousy and anger blazed, swamping his sanity—

He wants revenge!

This time, his goal is not just the Fantastic Four.Iron Man and Captain America also appear here, which means that they have reached some kind of alliance, and they are his enemies without exception!From another perspective, he is not the only one who wants to fight against them, he will definitely succeed!

"I'll be back! With a fury that you can't bear!"

The throat that had been scorched by the fire made a hoarse and terrible voice.Compared to the armor and mask that have already grown on the body, this seems to be a part that can be restored to its original state.But Doom was unwilling to change—it was a testament to everything he had suffered, and he wanted to keep them as a wake-up call—

Henceforth, there will be no more Victor von Doom in the world; he has died in the flames and the wind, leaving only Doctor Doom!

The black robe was lifted up, revealing the legs and dark green clothes wrapped in metal machinery underneath.In the next instant, the roof returned to its empty state.

Sid heard the wind die.The uninvited guests have all gone, leaving him thinking about the joints--

Combined with what Reed told them before, there is no doubt that the man in black is Dum who saved his life.The mask and metal mechanical legs are easy to explain: because Dum became unrecognizable in the fire, if he wants to survive, he must undergo body modification, and naturally he will not be the same as before, and he will no longer show his true colors.

If a person is your enemy in the first place, if he survives a huge failure, it means that you will encounter a more ferocious and violent counterattack from him!

Sid understands this very well, so Doom's quiet arrival and quiet departure is equivalent to a signal of "we have a long time to come" in his eyes.Doom will never give up what he has done before, it will only get worse!

It seems that Reid was right in his judgment that there would be a period of calm after the war, but this good time is coming to an end!

Sid drank the wine in his glass in one gulp, then turned and walked towards the drink area.He had some doubts and wanted to check with the two who seemed to be twins.

By this time, Steve and Johnny had drunk almost half of the wine on the long table.Steve drank much more than Johnny, but Johnny blushed and Steve didn't react at all.

"That's impossible!" Johnny yelled indignantly. "It's not fair!" That was probably the only obvious reaction in his drunken brain.

Looking at the red face, Steve thought to himself, so he looked like this when he was drunk. "It's always been like this," he said helplessly, "I tried to get myself drunk before, but I was still sober."

"That sounds like a sad thing." Just then Sid stepped closer and interjected: "I mean, you can't get drunk."

An imperceptible gloomy look flashed across Steve's face, as if recalling the past.

Sid looked at him and knew it was not time to continue asking "Why do you want to get drunk" because that would be a knife in the heart.Besides, that's not what he wanted to ask. "How do you feel now?" he turned to Johnny. "Can you make it through the wedding?"

"Of course!" Johnny said stiffly, but his drunken appearance won't convince anyone.

Looking at the other half of the cocktails on the table, Steve sighed slightly and put away his notebook. "I think that's enough for today, thank you."

Of course Johnny disagreed.But under the attack of Sid and Steve, he had to surrender and was carried to the sofa in the lounge.In fact, he fell asleep as soon as he lay flat.

"It's true that the alcohol content is not high, but he drank too much." Steve said after he settled people down. "I hope the bride and groom don't hate me for getting my brother and best man drunk at the wedding."

"I don't think so," Sid replied. "They might thank you for it or something..." He shrugged slightly. "You know, Johnny's more lethal when he's awake."

Steve couldn't help laughing. "I thought he..." He stopped in the middle of the sentence, "but the reality is not always the same as I imagined. I mean, people's personalities are much more complicated now than I was then."

"Because the environment is more complicated than it used to be." Sid agrees.

Steve looked up at him. "Does that include you too?"

Sid smiled and sank into an armchair on the other side. "I can hear it, Captain. When Fury was here, you said whether to disclose it is my own privacy, but your problems may not be less than Fury."

"Yes, I do want to know," Steve admitted frankly. "But everyone has the right to choose their own way of life, Fury can't assume everyone is a criminal first. Even if you have some superpowers," he spread a hand, "you are willing or unwilling to tell others, this It's your freedom. Feeling threatened by the unknown should not be paid for by the unknown sacrificing their rights."

This is similar to the famous "I don't agree with you, but I will defend to the death your right to speak".

"You do have a right to say that, because pretty much everything about you is in exhibits and history textbooks, and everyone knows it. But it's a huge divide," Sid stared at Steve intently, "You Did you tell Fury about that, Captain?"

Steve leaned back on the sofa. "Not yet." He thought for a moment and added, "I don't want to have a conflict with him, actually." The subtext of not wanting is actually that he would do it if necessary.

Sid nodded. "I heard that you are on a mission for S.H.I.E.L.D."

"I think that might help me find meaning in living on, if only a little bit." Steve shrugged.He once fell into confusion, thinking that he should spend the rest of his life in the ice; but now that he has awakened, of course he still has to work hard to live.

"Captain," Sid suddenly remembered, "Have you been out on the field recently? Central Europe?"

"What?" Steve asked back.Why would Sid know this?

This reaction says it all.Sid thought with certainty that the Winter Soldier's target was probably Steve.In terms of the ability to make enemies, S.H.I.E.L.D. is much stronger than the Fantastic Four! "Nothing, it's just that when I was in Slovenia, I seemed to see someone who looked a lot like you."

Steve frowned.It was an excuse, he was sure; but he didn't understand why Sid would use such a lame excuse—even if Sid said that he had hacked into the S.H.I.E.L.D. system, it would be more credible than this!

"Never mind that, Captain." Sid found a more comfortable position in the armchair, fingertips facing each other on his knees, "Don't you want to know the truth about those explosions that happened out of thin air? You can take out your records now Okay, some nouns are hard to remember, at least I think so."

But Steve didn't move. "You want to tell me?" he asked researchingly, "Why?"

"Well, if you must need a reason," Sid said, leaning forward slightly, "I just trust your character, trust that you won't show it around, and trust that what you tell others when necessary A doctored version with embellishments. Wouldn’t it be too bad if what you heard was a reworked version by Fury or someone else?”

Sure enough, he was a man whose behavior could never be predicted; one moment he seemed to be spying on something, and the next moment he was ready to confess... Steve once again felt that what Natasha told him last time was indeed a golden word.There's always more they need to know about Sid Stark!

As for Dr. Doom who left the Great River Harbor, he didn't leave too far.New York is an international metropolis, under the glamorous appearance, there are quite a few dirty places.And his previous accumulated wealth and strength are enough for him to have a hidden and high-tech underground foothold.

"Welcome back, Doctor."

With a mechanized and emotionless voice, the door opened without a sound.Cans and tubes are everywhere, and instruments are ticking.If it weren't for the strange green light that they all glow, the layout of these things combined together is actually a laboratory for mixed research of biochemical machinery.

Against this background, a blue cube floating on a small square display stand is particularly eye-catching.But it is definitely not the Cosmic Cube, because it is much smaller than the Cosmic Cube, about the size of an egg.

"Open it." Doctor Doom approached quickly, ordering in a deep voice.

The display stand emits a blinding blue light.After it dissipated, the blue cube disappeared, replaced by a long and narrow blue translucent plane.

"No matter who the other side is, I can tell you with certainty, as long as your enemies are the Fantastic Four and the Avengers, then we are allies!"

The blue plane seemed to understand his words, and shrank back into a small cube in an instant.

After making this decision, Doctor Doom hesitated again.To be honest, he doesn't trust anyone but himself.The last time a guy who claimed to be a Norse god asked him to consider cooperation, he didn't immediately nod.He needs time to assess the value and position of himself and the other party; the other party probably understands it too, so he left this little thing for him.

But he no longer doubted it.Anyway, he's not putting all his eggs in one basket.Regardless of the cooperation situation, he has his own trump card——

In a corner of the laboratory, several huge glass jars were filled with fluorescent green liquid, and some fine bubbles burst out one after another.Each jar is soaked with grotesque creatures (giant lizards, hideous chitauri, etc.) covered in metal pipes, large and small.Those pipes join at the mouth of the tank and lead outside to the tower-like rectification unit.

Doctor Doom carefully inspected the dripping liquid from the end flask. "Soon, soon," he grinned, showing a completely sinister smile, "I'll make those people pay the price they deserve!"

Under the reflection of the green light in the room, the silver mask looked like a demon.
