I Am Iron Man

After dealing with the terrorists who bought weapons from Stark Industries, Tony Stark flew back in the Mark III.

Although he didn't know why he wasn't detected by military radar when he left America before, he was caught by radar on his way back.

So the military dispatched two F-22s to intercept him.

In fact, after obtaining Wakandan technology, the military equipment of various countries had improved significantly. However, most countries were reluctant to discard weapons they had bought at a high price. Fortunately, they hadn't upgraded to the latest fighter jets, otherwise Tony Stark might not have been able to escape the pursuit of the air force so easily.

With the intervention of Tony Stark's friend Colonel James Rhodes and S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, Tony Stark returned home safely, but his identity was also discovered by Pepper Potts.

After a quarrel, the seasoned player Tony Stark eventually persuaded Pepper to help him steal the transaction information for the arms deal from Stark Industries.

Just as Kraft was helpless against the truly important databases of other forces, Stark Industries' internal network was an independent closed system. Even with Jarvis's help, Tony Stark couldn't hack into a network that had no connection to the outside world.

Kraft, however, had learned a wireless intrusion method in his dream from a guy with an LED mask nicknamed Wrench. But this method required a specially made mobile phone or other device as a carrier, and the intrusion could only be carried out when near the target network.

In fact, Tony Stark had a similar method, but he usually didn't like to go to the company. Now that he had been kicked out of the company by the board, he had even less reason to return to Stark Industries. As soon as he appeared, the person secretly selling weapons in the company would definitely lie low, so he could only entrust this dangerous mission to his most trusted Little Pepper.

Little Pepper successfully stole the information, but this also made Obadiah Stane realize something was wrong. So he rushed to Tony Stark's mansion ahead of time and snatched the miniature arc reactor from him.

"I hate sonic weapons..."

Tony Stark struggled with all his might, and finally, before the shrapnel in his blood took his life, he inserted the first reactor he had hammered out in the Middle East into the hole in his chest.

Having been frustrated by sound-related issues twice in a row, Stark felt he had to equip the future Mark IV with a sonic weapon.

But before that, the most important thing was to settle the score with Obadiah!

"Tony Stark has appeared again."

As the Mark III flew out of the villa, Angela reported to Kraft in a timely manner.

"Again? This guy is really willful..."

Kraft clicked his tongue, feeling a bit envious. After all, he was just a teenager who had just turned fifteen. Deep down, he really wanted to show himself to the world. However, as a Chinese-American, he also knew very well that he couldn't receive the preferential treatment from the US government like Tony Stark.

"So, where is our playboy going to fight crime this time?"

Kraft asked while lifting two dumbbells and carrying out his daily workout plan.

Although he had no intention of undergoing human modification, the biotechnology in his dreams was not limited to modification. There were also many auxiliary technologies such as nutrient solutions and body repair pods. With the help of these technologies, Kraft's physical fitness improved rapidly, and he would not suffer any damage from overtraining.

"New York."

"...What?"

Kraft, who was lifting weights, stopped what he was doing and looked at Angela's phantom on the workbench with a confused expression.

"Tony Stark's crime-fighting location is New York."

Angela repeated, then projected the image near Stark Tower onto the wall.

"Who is this oversized tin can? I must say, its design is much more imposing than Stark's."

Kraft looked at the Iron Monger on the screen and commented.

"Why do they all like to give themselves a catfish face?"

He really couldn't understand Tony Stark's weird aesthetic. As for that big guy, it was obviously a knock-off. It didn't even have a light cannon in its palm. The overall workmanship was rough, to put it nicely, or crude, to put it bluntly. Moreover, it had even copied that catfish face, so its aesthetic level was obviously not good. The only advantage was its large size, which made it look imposing.

"From the analysis of the on-site recording, the larger one should be Obadiah Stane, a major shareholder of Stark Industries."

"Wow! This is really... betrayal."

Tony Stark is too miserable. Not only was he kicked out of the company by the board, but his newly invented armor was also stolen by his own people. Kraft was somewhat gloating.

"It would be hilarious if the terrorists who attacked him were also hired by his own people."

After finishing his workout, Kraft sat on a chair, drinking an energy drink and cracking sunflower seeds while watching the show.

"Why does it feel like... Stark's new armor is not as good as the previous one?"

As he watched, Kraft felt something was wrong. Stark's red and gold armor performed worse than the previous silver-white one he fought with. It was being beaten badly by that very low-looking bulky armor.

"His power supply system seems to have a problem." Angela quickly analyzed Stark's behavior logic. "Since his appearance, Stark has only used the arc pulse once as an attack, and then chose close combat. The probability of insufficient energy causing this situation is 73.47%."

"Did he not charge his arc reactor after returning from the Middle East last time?" Kraft scratched his head. "Isn't that too willful... Won't he kill himself with this now?"

In the video, Tony Stark seemed to realize that this situation was not sustainable, and turned to fly into the sky. Obadiah, unwilling to be outdone, also flew up.

He used ordinary rocket propulsion devices.

"Tch, so low..."

Kraft, who didn't know the hardships of others, sneered dismissively.

The two tin cans flew higher and higher, and their figures could no longer be captured by the street cameras.

"Do you need to dispatch Banshee fighter jets to broadcast live from the scene?"

Angela suggested.

"Forget it. It's so lively over there now. It would be bad if someone accidentally discovered us."

Although watching the drama was fun, Kraft chose to be cautious.

However, Tony Stark didn't make Kraft wait too long. Soon, the two tin cans fell from the sky and crashed onto the roof of Stark Tower. However, the nearby cameras could not capture the situation on the roof of Stark Tower. Kraft could only see various sparks and lightning on the roof through distant cameras and imagine a lively scene for himself.

Finally, a beam of light shot up from Stark Tower, and the powerful electromagnetic pulse caused nearby cameras to stop working, cutting off Kraft's show.

"I wonder what the final outcome was..."

Kraft scratched his chin, curious about who had won.

The next day, Stark Industries' press conference answered Kraft's question.

Tony Stark, dressed in a suit, stood on stage. After reading a few lines from his cue cards, he paused for a moment before addressing the assembled media.

"I am Iron Man."

I just arrived in another city and don't have time to check the tips...

Kraft's influence was minimal in the early stages, so the plot won't change much. Friends who have read my previous book know that I prefer to change the plot gradually rather than letting it go wild from the start.

Moreover, I personally really like the character development process of these two superheroes, Iron Man and Spider-Man, and I find it quite representative, so I want to spend more time describing it.

The most crucial point is, since it's a public period anyway, can't you let me add more words?! I've seen other fanfics that, even in VIP chapters, use the original plot to pad their word count. Many even directly copy dialogue from the movies, but at least I've rephrased the dialogue! [Righteously.jpg]

Lastly, a side note, I really preferred the actor who played Colonel Rhodes in the first Iron Man movie. The later one looked too much like an ape, which was very distracting.

Regarding Stark's intuition, there's actually a similar concept in the comics, which is what the Purple Yam in the movie referred to as "cursed by knowledge." Of course, it's not called that in the comics, and different writers have different settings. In one parallel universe, Stark's brain tumor is even set as the seventh Infinity Stone. The intuition the protagonist displayed earlier is actually based on this concept.

I actually think the anxiety disorder Stark displayed in Iron Man 3 also hints at this concept, but that's a matter of opinion.

As expected, after disappearing from the rankings, the growth rate of collections dropped by half
