Chapter Summaries

Natasha Romanoff was secretly revealed to be a HYDRA agent whose loyalty had been shaped in the Red Room by an undercover HYDRA operative, though she did not know Chen Mo was HYDRA’s master. At the laboratory, Tony abandoned his work for lunch, and Natasha showed Chen Mo special respect before Tony complained that Chen Mo was more handsome than him.

• Chen Mo’s account revealed that HYDRA had recruited Natasha in the Red Room after an agent identified her from Chen Mo’s list of future talents and secretly reshaped her loyalties.
• Tony Stark stopped working in the laboratory and announced that it was time to eat.
• Natasha listed the meal and told Chen Mo that she had prepared his favorite tomato and egg soup.
• Natasha left the laboratory, and Tony asked the others whether he was less handsome than Chen Mo.

Chen Mo encouraged Tony Stark to take up the responsibility of protecting the world, then tested the completed Super War Vehicle with Wang Jin. The vehicle powered up silently and shifted into combat mode, revealing its new capabilities.

• Tony Stark felt inferior to Chen Mo, but Chen Mo encouraged him to prove himself as a Super Hero and entrustment to protect Earth renewed his resolve.
• Wang Jin's stomach growled, so Chen Mo suggested they eat before saving the world.
• With Natasha Romanoff managing their daily needs, Chen Mo, Tony Stark, and Wang Jin completed the Super War Vehicle.
• Wang Jin entered the vehicle and started its Third-Generation Miniature Arc Reactor-powered systems, which ran quietly.
• Chen Mo ordered combat mode, and the vehicle's armor shifted to cover the windshield and conceal the tires.

Chen Mo inspected the Super War Vehicle’s combat and off-road transformations, then tested its weapons and reviewed its formidable armor. The vehicle proved ready for battle, with its capabilities far beyond ordinary military vehicles.

• Chen Mo activated combat mode, and the vehicle’s armor closed while its windshield projected the outside view as a holographic display.
• Chen Mo ordered off-road mode, and the vehicle raised its chassis, widened its wheel track, and adjusted its independent support arms for rough terrain.
• Chen Mo told Wang Jin to test the weapons, and Wang Jin deployed the Sonic Cannon and missile launcher inside the garage.
• The vehicle revealed its machine guns and carried twenty high-explosive armor-piercing missiles, giving it powerful armaments.
• Chen Mo’s vehicle used Alpha Alloy armor that could withstand most conventional attacks and could be mass-produced from ordinary metals.

Chen Mo and Wang Jin completed a powerful Super War Vehicle, and Wang Jin took it onto the highway for a high-speed test drive. Chen Mo, Tony Stark, and Dr. Ethan watched the vehicle's progress as it raced through the night.

• Chen Mo outfitted the vehicle with Alpha Alloy armor, powerful engines, weapons, and a system that let it transform into a heavily armed motorcycle.
• Chen Mo told Wang Jin to take the vehicle out for a test drive after its basic tests revealed no problems.
• Wang Jin launched the vehicle at full speed, startling Tony Stark as it shot out of the garage.
• Chen Mo, Tony Stark, and Dr. Ethan watched the vehicle's live location and video feed on a computer.
• Wang Jin sped down a deserted coastal highway, sending powerful gusts through the roadside trees as the vehicle's headlights streaked through the night.

Chen Mo, Tony Stark, and Dr. Ethan reviewed the Super War Vehicle’s extreme performance, then watched Wang Jin bring it back at high speed. After Tony scolded Wang Jin for nearly frightening them, the group began discussing a name for the vehicle.

• J.A.R.V.I.S. displayed the vehicle’s data, including its 3,500-horsepower engine, 0.9-second acceleration to one hundred kilometers per hour, and theoretical top speed of 720 kilometers per hour.
• Chen Mo and the others completed the vehicle tests and ate dinner while Wang Jin continued driving outside.
• Wang Jin raced into the underground garage and stopped safely in front of Chen Mo, Tony Stark, and Dr. Ethan.
• Tony Stark struck and scolded Wang Jin for driving so fast near them, but Chen Mo defended Wang Jin’s control of the vehicle.
• Wang Jin and the others discussed naming the vehicle, and Tony Stark suggested calling it the Iron War Vehicle.

Wang Jin named Chen Mo’s completed vehicle the Batmobile, and the group turned Tony Stark’s villa into a place for martial arts training and mahjong. Their routine was interrupted by a delivery containing three small boxes, and Tony opened one to find a silver-white wristwatch.

• Chen Mo persuaded Tony Stark and Dr. Ethan to agree that the vehicle looked like a bat, and Wang Jin named it the Batmobile.
• Wang Jin stayed at Tony Stark’s villa, where Chen Mo trained him, Tony Stark, Dr. Ethan, and Natasha Romanoff in martial arts.
• Chen Mo began training the group to prepare for future threats, while they played mahjong together during their leisure time.
• J.A.R.V.I.S. announced that a delivery had arrived, and Chen Mo opened the package to reveal three small boxes.
• Chen Mo handed one box to Tony Stark, who opened it and found a silver-white wristwatch.

Chen Mo gave Tony Stark and Wang Jin identical silver watches, then revealed that they stored Wakanda’s Nanotech Combat Suit. Wang Jin tested the suit and transformed instantly, while Chen Mo explained its capabilities and why he had waited for the technology.

• Tony Stark complained that Chen Mo gave him a watch instead of the King's Sword or Vibranium shield, then promised he would never ask for it.
• Chen Mo gave Wang Jin another identical watch as a belated meeting gift and revealed that the final box held the same watch for himself.
• Chen Mo told Wang Jin to think “suit up,” and a black combat suit spread from the watch to cover his body.
• Chen Mo explained that the Nanotech Combat Suit used brainwaves, could block most attacks, and was more suited to agile, covert missions than an Iron Man suit.

Chen Mo received Wakanda’s new Vibranium Nanotech Combat Suit and had it integrated with a wristwatch that activated the suit through brainwave commands. Tony Stark agreed to test its defenses against Wang Jin, and the chapter ended as Tony prepared to fire the Mark III’s Arc Pulse Cannon.

• Wakanda’s laboratory completed the Vibranium Nanotech Combat Suit as Princess Shuri’s research advanced.
• Chen Mo sent blueprints for a wristwatch that stored and activated the suit and incorporated Kimo-by-yu functions.
• Wang Jin tried the suit and found that it covered him instantly without restricting his movement.
• Tony Stark questioned the suit’s defenses, so Chen Mo challenged him to test it against the Mark III.
• Tony Stark and Wang Jin faced off, and Tony aimed a low-powered Arc Pulse Cannon at Wang Jin.

Chen Mo demonstrated Wang Jin’s Vibranium Nanotech Combat Suit and its defensive, energy-release, shield, and gliding abilities. Tony Stark gave Wang Jin a frightening flying lesson that left him shouting that he was Batman, then asked Chen Mo to give him a suit.

• Tony Stark repeatedly fired Mark III’s Arc Pulse Cannon at Wang Jin, and the suit absorbed the attacks until a full-power blast sent Wang Jin flying without injuring him.
• Chen Mo had Wang Jin release the suit’s stored energy, sending Tony flying, then explained how Vibranium and nanotechnology absorbed and weakened attacks.
• Chen Mo showed Wang Jin that the suit could form a cape with an energy shield and glider, and Tony suggested the name Batman.
• Tony carried Wang Jin upstairs in Mark III without explaining how to activate the glider, and Wang Jin screamed before finally declaring, “I AM BATMAN!!!”
• Tony brought the shaken Wang Jin back to the garage and asked Chen Mo to give him a Nanotech Combat Suit.

Chen Mo gave Tony Stark the nano watch and checked how Wang Jin felt about his Batman-style wingsuit flight. Natasha Romanoff was increasingly captivated by Chen Mo’s mysterious presence, while Tony eagerly activated his suit and Wang Jin embraced his new identity.

• Natasha Romanoff watched Tony Stark behave childishly around Chen Mo and wondered about Chen Mo’s many seemingly genuine sides.
• Chen Mo met Natasha’s gaze, and his powerful mental presence left her momentarily lost in thought.
• Chen Mo gave Tony Stark the nano watch, which Tony eagerly put on to activate his combat suit.
• Chen Mo asked Wang Jin about his free fall and wingsuit flight, and Wang Jin said he loved it and declared, "From now on, I'm Batman!"
• Chen Mo decided against turning Wang Jin into a vampire-lycan hybrid, preferring a technology-based Batman.
• Tony Stark noticed that his nano combat suit lacked some armored details and felt disappointed, though Chen Mo had his reasons.

Chen Mo considered the nanotech combat suit an auxiliary tool rather than a substitute for his own strength, and he devised a way to combine it with his stored Adamantium armor. The chapter ended by explaining how the suit's Vibranium defense compared with Adamantium and Primary Adamantium.

• Chen Mo rejected relying on the Iron Man suit, reasoning that it could be countered and that his own strength mattered most.
• Chen Mo dismantled his Adamantium Armor Combat Suit and stored its armor pieces on a mannequin so the nanotech suit could attach them quickly.
• Chen Mo explained that Adamantium was harder than Vibranium and effectively indestructible, while Vibranium absorbed kinetic energy but could be damaged beyond its limit.
• Chen Mo noted that Dr. MacLane had never reproduced Primary Adamantium, leaving his shield as the world's only example.
• Chen Mo's Vibranium Nanotech Combat Suit could absorb attacks nearly as effectively as Primary Adamantium as long as it did not exceed its storage limit.

Chen Mo explained how Adamantium Armor would strengthen his Vibranium Nanotech Combat Suit and why no more suits could be made for now. Tony Stark promised Dr. Ethan an Iron Man suit, but Ethan and the others reacted strangely, and Chen Mo solemnly addressed Tony.

• Chen Mo explained that Adamantium Armor would disperse piercing attacks and protect his Nanotech Combat Suit from even powerful strikes.
• Natasha Romanoff and Dr. Ethan envied the suits, but Chen Mo explained why he could not give them one yet and why Dr. Ethan would eventually receive an Iron Man suit from Tony Stark.
• Tony Stark promised Dr. Ethan an Iron Man suit and called the skintight Nanotech Combat Suit ugly.
• Dr. Ethan shook off Tony's hand, and Natasha Romanoff and the others looked at Tony strangely.
• Chen Mo solemnly called to Tony, who turned and asked, "What is it, Dad?"

Tony Stark and Chen Mo learned that armed men had kidnapped Sharon Rogers outside her school, and they raced to find her. Chen Mo’s investigation identified Justin Hammer as the man behind the kidnapping.

• Chen Mo warned Tony Stark that deactivating the Nanotech Combat Suit would leave him naked, and Tony covered himself again after Natasha Romanoff saw him exposed.
• Pepper Potts told Tony Stark that armed men had kidnapped Sharon Rogers outside her school and injured Happy Hogan.
• Tony reassured Pepper, then ordered J.A.R.V.I.S. to investigate the kidnapping while Chen Mo tasked S.H.I.E.L.D. and HYDRA with finding the culprits.
• Chen Mo handed Tony the investigation results, which identified Justin Hammer as the man behind Sharon’s kidnapping.

Justin Hammer recruited mercenaries and planned to use Sharon Rogers to pressure Tony Stark into giving up an Iron Man suit. Sharon finished school and headed toward Happy, unaware of the danger.

• Justin Hammer abandoned attempts to copy the Iron Man suit and decided to steal one, but he dropped his plan to target Tony Stark's villa after Chen Mo returned.
• Justin Hammer learned that Sharon Rogers was Tony Stark's ward and recruited desperate mercenaries to use her as leverage.
• Sharon Rogers finished her final class before the school break and wondered about the important guests staying at Tony's villa.
• Sharon walked toward the school gate, where Tony's Rolls-Royce Phantom and Happy were waiting.

Sharon Rogers was caught trying to leave school before a party, and her classmates discovered that she lived with Tony Stark and was his sister. She agreed to ask Tony whether they could meet him, then left with Happy.

• Amy and Sharon's other friends confronted Sharon for trying to skip their party, while Jessica's group mocked her Beetle and called her Cinderella.
• Sharon pointed out Happy and the Rolls-Royce Phantom waiting for her, surprising her friends with the car and his respectful greeting.
• Amy questioned Sharon about her family, and Sharon explained that she drove a Beetle because she liked it and had never deliberately hidden anything.
• Jessica recognized the Rolls-Royce's STARK5 license plate and identified it as Tony Stark's car.
• Sharon told her classmates that Tony Stark was her brother, and they excitedly asked her to arrange a meeting with him.
• Sharon agreed to ask Tony, while Amy encouraged her to complain to him if he refused.

Sharon Rogers was kidnapped by mercenaries working for Justin Hammer, and Happy Hogan was shot while trying to stop them. Tony Stark located Sharon at Hammer Industries, while Chen Mo ordered the team to prepare a careful rescue.

• Sharon Rogers was seized by masked mercenaries outside her school, and Happy Hogan was shot while trying to protect her.
• The mercenaries escaped with Sharon in an SUV as Happy called Pepper Potts for help.
• Tony Stark used J.A.R.V.I.S. to identify Justin Hammer as the kidnapper and trace the SUVs to Hammer Industries.
• Chen Mo warned Tony Stark that Hammer Industries was too large to search without knowing Sharon's exact location and told him to wait above the compound.
• Chen Mo ordered Wang Jin to drive Natasha Romanoff to the outskirts of Hammer Industries and wait without being seen.

Chen Mo organized a rescue operation at Hammer Industries, sending Natasha Romanoff and Wang Jin to infiltrate the facility while Tony Stark and Dr. Ethan provided support from above. The team began moving into position, but Tony had not yet spotted the target.

• Chen Mo ordered Natasha Romanoff to infiltrate Hammer Industries and take control of its surveillance room to locate Justin Hammer and Sharon Rogers.
• Natasha revealed her agent’s bearing, took a communications earpiece, and left with Wang Jin in the Batmobile.
• Dr. Ethan asked to join the operation, and Chen Mo assigned him to wear the Mark II and wait with Tony above Hammer Industries without being discovered.
• J.A.R.V.I.S. equipped Dr. Ethan with the Mark II, and Chen Mo departed in his Audi R8.
• Tony Stark reported that he had reached the airspace above Hammer Industries but had not seen the target, and Chen Mo told him to hold position before ordering Dr. Ethan to move out.

Dr. Ethan’s first flight in Mark II wrecked Chen Mo’s sports car and set off a chain reaction that destroyed the garage’s display cars. With no time to change into the armor himself, Chen Mo prepared to make Dr. Ethan bear the consequences as the team began its rescue operation at Hammer Industries.

• Dr. Ethan lost control of Mark II, crashed into Chen Mo’s sports car, and crushed it beneath the armor.
• A tire from the wrecked car rolled into a Lamborghini, causing the dismantled display cars in the garage to collapse in succession.
• Dr. Ethan offered to stay behind so Chen Mo could wear Mark II, but Chen Mo refused because changing into the armor would waste time.
• Chen Mo ordered Wang Jin to stay hidden, Natasha Romanoff to take control of the surveillance room, and Tony Stark to guide her.
• Natasha Romanoff exited the hidden combat vehicle and slipped toward Hammer Industries under cover.

Tony Stark used J.A.R.V.I.S. to guide Natasha Romanoff through Hammer Industries, where she stole an employee’s ID and entered the headquarters building. After she got inside, Tony contacted Chen Mo, who told him he was behind him.

• Tony Stark had J.A.R.V.I.S. locate Hammer Industries’ surveillance room and display a map of the complex.
• Tony guided Natasha Romanoff around guards and cameras toward the headquarters building.
• Natasha observed the guarded, card-operated entrance and stole an employee’s ID card as they passed.
• Natasha swiped the stolen card at the turnstile and entered the building unnoticed.
• Tony saw Natasha get inside, called Chen Mo, and learned that Chen Mo was behind him.

Chen Mo rode the Mark II through the air to reach Tony Stark, then jumped onto the Mark III to avoid a collision. Dr. Ethan regained control of the Mark II and flew over to them.

• Tony Stark spotted Chen Mo standing on the Mark II as it raced toward him.
• Dr. Ethan struggled to slow the Mark II, which nearly collided with Tony and the Mark III.
• Tony Stark dodged the Mark II, and Chen Mo leaped from its back to grip the Mark III's shoulder and hover beside Tony.
• Chen Mo told Dr. Ethan that his flight mission was complete, and Dr. Ethan straightened the Mark II before cautiously flying over.
