Sharon Rogers

At an air force base near New York, a military transport plane taxied on the runway for a short distance before coming to a slow stop.

Beside the plane, besides Tony Stark's assistant Pepper Potts and his driver/bodyguard Hogan, there was also a beautiful teenage blonde girl waiting to pick him up.

The tail door of the transport plane slowly opened and descended towards the ground. Tony Stark, supported by Dr. Ethan, walked down the ramp.

Chen Mo and Phil Coulson followed behind them.

When the two met that day, Chen Mo's first words almost made the already exhausted Tony Stark rush up to fight him. "Even though you saved me, you can't take advantage of me!"

Just as Tony Stark was staring angrily at Chen Mo's face, he suddenly realized that Chen Mo looked exactly like the person in a photograph at home, and that person was none other than his godfather, Chen Mo, the Special Operations Team Commander.

Unlike Steve, who was once a big star and performed and promoted everywhere and even made movies, Chen Mo left behind not many images. Although his later fame was no less than that of Captain America Steve, the impression he left on the world was more of a mysterious figure wrapped in black Iron Man Armor, carrying a sword and shield.

The photo in Tony Stark's house is one of the few photos of Chen Mo that shows his face.

Because of the long time that had passed, coupled with his near-exhaustion and groggy mind, Tony Stark was unable to recognize Chen Mo immediately upon seeing him.

But that photo was taken seventy years ago, and Chen Mo looks almost exactly the same as in the photo. Rather than accepting that the person in front of him is Chen Mo, who disappeared seventy years ago, Tony Stark would rather believe that it is someone who looks exactly the same.

However, the fact that Chen Mo was his godfather was a private decision made by the two of them back then, and very few people knew about it. He didn't believe that the person who saved him was just taking advantage of him by claiming to be his father.

This complicated situation made Tony Stark's already groggy mind even more confused, and his dizziness worsened, leaving him completely unable to figure things out.

Tony decided to put aside his doubts for the time being and, with the help of the young man who claimed to be his father, staggered onto the helicopter.

After returning to Bagram Air Base, Tony Stark finally recovered after some rest and treatment.

He learned from Yinsen that there were only three people who went to the terrorist base to rescue him that day. The special forces he thought had wiped out all the terrorists was actually just Chen Mo alone.

Those terrorists were equipped with Stark Industries' most advanced weapons. Although their personnel were somewhat lacking in quality, their sheer numbers of over a hundred, coupled with their advanced equipment and powerful firepower, made it unimaginable how one person could have wiped them all out.

He had only heard of such inhuman fighting prowess from his father, Howard, and even their fighting styles were so similar.

When he was little, Howard told him many legendary stories about his godfather, the Special Operations Team Commander.

He single-handedly stormed into the HYDRA base, and amidst the siege of hundreds of enemies, he moved as if he were in an empty field, single-handedly annihilating the well-equipped and powerful HYDRA Legion. His individual combat strength was even greater than that of the entire Special Operations Team.

As far as he knew, no one else possessed such astonishing strength except Chen Mo; even Captain America, Steve Rogers, paled in comparison.

This led Tony Stark to begin to believe that the young man who looked exactly like the one in the photo was his godfather.

What Agent Coulson told him afterwards completely dispelled his doubts and made him fully accept Chen Mo's identity.

It turns out that Chen Mo did not die after his plane crashed into the sea, but was frozen in the ice.

Not long ago, the HYDRA super bomber was discovered by an expedition team, who then found Chen Mo frozen inside and dug him out.

The first place Chen Mo went to after waking up was the China Martial Arts School in Brooklyn, New York.

Tony Stark knew that place; his father, Howard, had taken him there when he was a child and told him about how they fought side by side and wiped out two major Mafia families in one night.

Even now, when he has free time, he will go to the Martial Arts School to sit and feel the place where his godfather and father once stayed, practice martial arts with his Uncle Wang Kun, and tease his little grand-disciple. The China generational system is really interesting, and he likes it very much.

However, Wang Jin is now practicing diligently at the Martial Arts School every day, and his kung fu has improved a lot. He is no longer a match for him. In order to maintain the dignity of his elders, he has been going there less often lately.

He knew that the Martial Arts School was founded by Chen Mo, and Captain America Steve Rogers had also studied there under Chen Mo. It could be said that it was his home in this world, which is why he rushed there as soon as he woke up.

Having heard this, Tony Stark had basically confirmed Chen Mo's identity.

He was deeply moved when he heard that Chen Mo had rushed to rescue him the moment he learned of his accident.

"He really is my godfather. It feels so good to have a father figure in him," Tony Stark thought to himself.

Tony felt no resistance towards Chen Mo, his godfather.

Putting aside the fact that he already knew he had a powerful godfather and admired him immensely, always hoping to meet him in person, the fact that Chen Mo rushed to save him the moment he learned of his accident and appeared just in time when he was on the verge of collapse made Tony Stark completely accept Chen Mo as his godfather.

As Tony Stark stepped off the transport plane, he and Pepper Potts, who was smiling at him with red eyes, exchanged a deep gaze. The Invisible Woman beside him secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Tony, although a little disheveled, was alright. She first curiously looked at Chen Mo and the others, and then rolled her eyes helplessly at the two flirting like no one else was around.

"Since you're alright, I still have to go to class. Be more careful in the future and don't make Pepper worry anymore."

After giving her lecture, the little girl turned around, got into a small Beetle, and sped away.

Tony touched his nose somewhat awkwardly and said to Chen Mo.

"This is Sharon, the orphan of my father's comrade-in-arms, who was entrusted to my care. She was very well-behaved when she was little, but she has become more and more rebellious as she grew up."

Chen Mo smiled slightly and didn't say anything. This should be Steve and Carter's daughter, Sharon Rogers. Of course, Tony didn't know her true identity, since Steve and Carter had faked their deaths decades ago.

Although she acted somewhat rebelliously, Chen Mo could tell that she still cared about Tony Stark; she was just not good at expressing herself and acted decisively and directly, much like Carter.

"Pepper, this is my godfather. I've told you about him. He's the one who saved me."

Tony introduced Chen Mo to Pepper.

Pepper certainly knew who Tony's godfather was; she was one of the few people who knew this secret. But hadn't this legendary Commander been missing for decades?

Pepper stared in astonishment at the young Chen Mo before her.

After leaving the airport, they went directly to the press conference. Just like in the movies, Tony Stark announced the closure of Stark Industries' weapons manufacturing division at the press conference, which immediately caused a huge uproar. Chen Mo did not stop him.

Subsequently, Chen Mo and Yinsen followed Tony back to his seaside villa, while Agent Coulson returned alone to the New York branch of the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division.

Brock Rumlow did not return with them; Chen Mo left him in Afghanistan to eliminate the remaining terrorists. At the same time, Chen Mo issued him a secret order through HYDRA.

Secretly collect the wreckage of the crashed Mark I scattered in the desert, as well as the Mark I blueprints left by Tony Stark in a cave.

Crossbones Brock Rumlow, HYDRA spy, is not fighting alone in the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division; many of his Special Operations Team are HYDRA members.

He only needed to split his forces into two groups: let the others wipe out the remaining terrorists, while he led the HYDRA members on a secret mission.

The blueprints were in the cave. Chen Mo had them take Dr. Ethan back to the base that day, so no one touched them and they were easily obtained. However, it took some effort to collect all the Mark I Iron Man suit scattered in the desert.

Due to the hasty preparation of the equipment, the connections between the components were not secure enough. During the fall after losing power, the Iron Man suit began to disintegrate due to vibrations, and many parts fell off and were scattered over an area of several hundred meters.

It took Brock Rumlow and his men nearly a day to finally collect all the Mark I.

Subsequently, following HYDRA's orders, Brock Rumlow secretly contacted Obadiah Stan.

Chen Mo, Tony's trusted partner and a cancer within Stark Industries, did not intend to eliminate him outright.

He was also an important part of Tony Stark's growth. It was only after experiencing his betrayal that Tony Stark truly matured. He still had some value to Chen Mo, serving as a good whetstone.

However, these are all things for later. Back at the villa, Tony Stark quickly began building the Mark II. Tony Stark had no suspicion of his godfather and savior and granted Chen Mo and Dr. Ethan access to the laboratory.

Tony didn't hide anything from the two about the creation of the Iron Man suit, and Chen Mo was able to witness Iron Man suit birth firsthand and participate in the process.
