As soon as Tony finished speaking, Dr. Banner next to him suddenly pushed up his glasses and swiped twice on the virtual screen in front of him.
JARVIS's entire recording was instantly brought up, the image freezing on the man in the Thunderbolts wearing a golden uniform with an "S" tattooed on his belt.
The screen was pulled directly in front of Tony and Thor, Banner's voice carried a hint of curiosity typical of researchers:
" Tony, Thor, look at this. Valentina says he's Earth's strongest hero, codenamed Sentry. Thor, do you know him?"
Tony glanced at it only once before scoffing and shaking the empty glass in his hand:
"Wow, when did Superman's 'S' logo change from being tattooed on his chest to his belt? Does this mean the DC universe has started visiting our universe?"
He tapped the screen with his fingertip, and JARVIS immediately listed out the Sentry's abilities. Tony glanced at it, raised an eyebrow, and added:
"Teleportation, flight, invulnerability, superhuman physique, and unknown power ceiling. Aside from lacking Heat Vision, Freeze Breath, and that magical bio-field, he's practically a carbon copy of Superman."
Thor's smile faded, and his tone became unusually serious. He glanced at the man on the screen and said:
"To be honest, this guy is one of the most unstable factors on Earth, comparable to Wanda when she failed to control Chaos Magic."
He paused, then revealed the man's entire background. "His real name is Robert Reynolds, Bob. He looks respectable, but he possesses the power of a million stars exploding within him."
What's even more troublesome is that his childhood trauma fostered a second personality called Void, which is far stronger than his original self and completely uncontrollable. You can think of it as a dark version of a time bomb carrying the Power of a Million Exploding Suns.
Upon hearing this, Tony's smile vanished instantly, and he abruptly turned to stare at Thor, his eyes wide with disbelief.
"Wait, what did you say? The Power of a Million Exploding Suns? You're not kidding me?"
He took two steps forward, his voice filled with disbelief:
Do you know what the Power of a Million Exploding Suns means? A Nova explosion of a single star can obliterate the entire Sun System, leaving not a trace.
A million?! If this guy really had that kind of power, he could wipe out the entire Earth in a flick of his finger!
Thor didn't respond directly to his words.
You shouldn't be asking me that; you should ask the Marvel editorial department.
This ridiculous concept was something they came up with on a whim; who knows what the magnitude of Power of a Million Exploding Suns actually is?
"Anyway, in most universes, that's basically how he's set up. His lower limit is already the ceiling for most superheroes on Earth, and as for his upper limit... you wouldn't want to see it."
Jane Foster, who had been standing silently to the side, suddenly walked over, her brows furrowed, and asked, "Do we have a corresponding countermeasure? Like how Superman is afraid of Kryptonite, do we have anything that can limit him?"
Thor shook his head, giving a straightforward answer:
"No. This thing doesn't have a natural counter like Kryptonite. If you have to say, only his own Void personality can suppress him, but once that thing is unleashed, it's even more terrifying than his original self going berserk."
Banner adjusted his glasses, his expression turning serious as he looked at Thor:
"If... this guy really goes berserk on Earth, can I and Thor from our universe stop him if we team up?"
Thor stroked his chin, thought for a long time, and finally honestly shook his head, uttering two words: "Probably not."
Upon hearing this, Tony's head started throbbing again. He rubbed his temples and looked at Thor:
"So you've spoiled the whole future for us, there must be a corresponding solution, right?"
So, to summarize, we'll not only have to guard against Ultron, Thanos, the Celestials, and the Skrulls, but also a teammate who's ridiculously strong, mentally unstable, and could turn evil and blow up the Earth at any moment? Is that what you mean?
Thor thought for a moment, then nodded very frankly:
"Your analysis is absolutely correct. In fact, the best solution is for someone to completely overwhelm him in combat strength, preventing him from going berserk."
Tony, undeterred, asked another question:
"Is there no other way besides a direct confrontation? Like finding a weakness in him, or just killing him to end it all?"
Thor shook his head again, looking helpless.
"Forget about it. This guy is basically immortal in most universes. He can revive on the spot even if he dies. He's a pure rule-based bug. Even if you blow him into molecules, he can piece himself back together."
Tony stared at the Sentry's face on the screen for two seconds in silence, then turned to Dr. Banner beside him, his tone extremely serious:
" Banner, I think we need to start a new project: the Anti-Sentry Armor Project."
Banner took a deep breath and nodded without hesitation, his eyes full of agreement.
"I agree. This guy's threat level is more outrageous than Ultron and Thanos combined. We must prepare in advance."
Jane Foster suddenly spoke up again, adding:
"Wait, isn't there a Superman -like figure named Ikaris among the Eternals? His abilities are very similar to the Sentry'. Can't he deal with this Sentry?"
Thor glanced at her and shrugged. " Ikaris is loyal to the Celestials, not some human. If the Sentry really go crazy, he'll just be feeding them."
He paused for a moment, then offered a few fallback options:
"There are ways to solve this. For example, Wanda could master Chaos Magic, or Strange could go astray and master the Darkhold, or your universe's Thor could hang himself on the World Tree for nine days and nine nights to master Rune Magic and become the Rune King Thor. Or, if all else fails, Dr. Banner could become the Green Scar in extreme anger and have a go at him."
Tony raised an eyebrow and said with a look of disdain:
"You mean that magician? He fought Thanos on Titan for ages and seemed pretty tough, but then he got thrashed the whole time in his own movie? That's it?"
He chuckled and added, "I remember this guy could even be defeated by Spider-Man Peter with math problems?"
Thor paused for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh, "What you said is absolutely right."
He changed the subject, looking at Tony: "But seriously, don't look down on him. He's only been practicing magic for a year or two; his talent is quite strong."
Also, you actually have magical talent; after all, in some multiverses, you might be the next Sorcerer Supreme.
Tony raised an eyebrow and whistled with amusement:
"Oh? So I can not only be Iron Man, but also Harry Potter? Okay, looks like Kamar-Taj will have to save me a spot from now on."
He turned to look at Banner beside him, and teased him with a smile:
"How's it going, Banner? I'm going to become a wizard, and you're about to become a Muggle. What are your thoughts?"
Banner pushed up his glasses and laughed along, his tone slightly teasing:
" Tony, if you can become the Sorcerer Supreme, maybe I have magical talent too?"
