the next day.
The morning sun shone on every corner of Los Angeles.
But Los Angeles today is not the same as it used to be.
Traces of last night's battle can be seen everywhere on the streets.
The road surface was shattered, cars were overturned, shops were broken, and there were large areas of police tape and construction vehicles busy cleaning up.
However, the faces of the Los Angeles residents showed no signs of fear or frustration.
On the contrary, all they could see was excitement and pride.
Because from last night until now, media outlets around the world have been reporting on the same thing like crazy.
Los Angeles has produced a superhero.
New York.
Times Square.
This is a place known as the Crossroads of the World.
But at this moment, this place is enveloped in an unprecedented frenzy.
The same image was playing on a loop on the giant screens around the square.
Luca Stark flew through the air, his eyes shooting out white-blue energy beams.
Tony Stark, clad in his Iron Man Armor, hurtled through the sky.
Two unidentified Spider-Man are swinging and leaping between skyscrapers.
That's right, the media gave Peter and Gwen Stacy the nickname Spider-Man.
It's worth mentioning that the New York Daily Bugle was the first to use this nickname.
They also differentiated the two Spider-Man's titles; for example, Gwen Stacy was called Spider-Woman, while Peter was naturally Spider-Man.
Of course, the Daily Bugle's owner, Omni-Man, prefers to call Spider-Man " Hood Man."
That's what he thought, and that's what he did.
So, the Daily Bugle printed a high-resolution photo of Spider-Man wearing a robber's mask on its cover.
Times Square in New York belongs more to the Justice League.
Reporters captured images of the four standing side by side from various angles, accompanied by sentimental background music that played on a loop on the big screen.
The square was packed with pedestrians who stopped to watch.
Almost everyone was holding a phone, either taking pictures of the screen or scrolling through the overwhelming news on social media.
"Oh my goodness!"
"Did you see that? Luca Stark is Superman! Last night he sent that green monster flying with one punch!"
"He didn't just send it flying! His final punch slammed the monster into a crater! Have you ever seen a human do something like that?!"
"And he's so handsome! My God! Handsome, good at fighting, and rich! It's like God is being unfair to him!"
A group of young girls were gathered on the steps of the square, discussing something so loudly that people nearby couldn't help but turn their heads to look.
at the same time.
All major news networks in the United States were in an uproar.
CNN's morning news program.
The host sat behind the studio, with high-definition footage of last night's battle playing on a large screen behind him.
"Good morning, everyone. Welcome to CNN's morning news."
"Without a doubt, the most talked-about news globally today is the shocking battle that took place in Los Angeles last night."
Luca Stark and Tony Stark, the two heirs to Stark Industries, team up with two other unidentified superheroes in the name of the Justice League to successfully defeat a group of monsters of unknown origin and save the lives of Los Angeles citizens!
The scene shifts to a clip of Luca speaking to the camera on the battlefield.
"As long as evil dares to rage in the sunlight, as long as monsters dare to harm innocent civilians, I, Luca Stark, will not hesitate to stand up and utterly crush them!"
After watching this footage, the host remarked with great emotion.
" Luca Stark. This 25-year-old transformed himself from a globally renowned Playboy into a city-saving superhero in just a few days."
"It has to be said that the Stark Family always manages to surprise us."
"Whether it's their father, Howard Stark, or them now, it seems every generation of Stark is destined to do something world-changing."
"On the other hand, the armor worn by Tony Stark has also attracted strong attention from the global technology community."
Several professors from Massachusetts Institute of Technology and California Institute of Technology have stated that the technology exhibited by the armor is at least 20 to 30 years ahead of current human technology.
The Pentagon has not yet issued any official comment on this.
MSNBC.
Another host is having a live discussion with a military commentator.
"Mr. Johnson, from a military perspective, how would you assess the Justice League's performance last night?"
An old man with gray hair appeared in the corner of the screen.
He wore thick glasses, and behind him was a wall covered with medals and military flags.
From a military perspective, the entire battle lasted less than forty minutes, and the most crucial turning point was Luca Stark's appearance.
"Before he arrived, the military's regular forces had already been pushed back by the monsters. The armor-piercing rounds from the main battle tanks had barely inflicted any effective damage on the monsters."
"But after Luca Stark came on, the situation completely reversed within minutes."
"He defeated monsters, including one that seemed to belong to the same type as the Abomination and Hulk that appeared in the New York Incident a few months earlier."
This means that Luca Stark's individual combat power far exceeds that of a heavy armored battalion! His existence has fundamentally altered the existing balance of military power!
The host pressed further.
"So how do you think the United States government will treat Luca Stark and the Justice League?"
The old man was silent for two seconds, then slowly spoke.
"If I were someone Pentagon, I definitely wouldn't be able to sleep right now."
"Because an individual who cannot be controlled by the government and possesses overwhelming fighting power is an uncertain factor for any sovereign state."
"But on the other hand, if this individual is on our side, then he is United States's most powerful defense asset."
"Therefore, my judgment is that the government will definitely try to win over the Stark brothers, rather than become their enemy. At least not at this stage."
"Of course, unless the Pentagon is full of short-sighted guys!"
Fox News.
The art style is completely different from other TV stations.
A male host, his face so serious he looked like he was about to jump out of the screen, was shouting indignantly.
"Ladies and gentlemen! I must point out a very serious problem!"
"Besides the Justice League's commendable heroic actions, there's another crucial issue that the media overlooked regarding last night's events in Los Angeles!"
"The question is simple: where did those monsters come from?!"
"According to concerned citizens, these monsters were sent by a secret organization called S.H.I.E.L.D.."
"And the leader of this organization, a one-eyed man named Nick Fury, has been arrested on the spot by the military!"
"Here's the problem!"
"A secret organization possessing this level of biological weaponry, and actually releasing it openly in a major United States city?!"
"Who is backing this up?! Does the government even know about this?!"
"If the government knew beforehand, that's a serious dereliction of duty! If the government didn't know, it's even more terrifying! It means there's a secret force outside government control acting with impunity on United States soil!"
I demand that Congress launch an immediate investigation! Immediately!
Meanwhile, on the other side of the ocean...
BBC.
A well-dressed United Kingdom news anchor is reporting the news.
"News from the United States. A large-scale paranormal event occurred in Los Angeles last night."
"Major news has broken about Luca Stark and Tony Stark, the two heirs to the United States arms giant Stark Industries."
"According to reports, they possess superhuman abilities and successfully repelled a group of unidentified monsters last night."
"It's worth noting that this is the second large-scale supernatural event to occur in the United States in just a few months."
"A few months ago, a similar giant green humanoid creature appeared in Harlem, New York, causing widespread destruction."
"Increasing evidence suggests that the number of Superman individuals is rapidly increasing globally."
The United Kingdom Prime Minister's office has communicated with the United States on this matter, but has not yet issued an official statement.

The Los Angeles superhero battle has gone viral online, and its popularity continues to soar.
The comments section is already in an uproar.
"Holy crap! These two guys are amazing!"
"One can fly, fire lasers, and smash monsters with a single punch; the other flies around in high-tech armor! Isn't this a real-life version of Superman and Cyborg?!"
" Luca Stark is definitely Superman! His brother is called Iron Man too, isn't this just comics coming to life?!"
"Did anyone notice those two Spider-Man?"
"A man and a woman! Holy crap, that female Spider-Man's figure is amazing! I've already taken a screenshot, guys!"
"Calm down, he's saving the world, and you're just taking screenshots. That's the difference between you and Luca Stark."
"Honestly, I'm envious now."
"Rich, capable, good-looking, and with a great physique. If Luca Stark lived in ancient times, he'd be a chosen one, the kind of person whom God practically fed."
"The most outrageous part was the clip of him flirting with a female reporter on camera! He said he wanted to discuss a late-night research project with me."
"Hahahaha! This guy is so cheeky! Who knew superheroes could be this irreverent?"
"Is this your first time meeting them upstairs? Was Luca Stark some respectable person before?"
"I've practiced Luca's fighting style ten times at home, and it's done absolutely nothing except dislocating my hand."
"Surely no one actually believes that training will allow them to fire lasers? No way, right?"
Social media around the world went crazy for it.
