I am directing big events in American comics

Chapter 126 Tony: No one understands character better than me

Now that Steve has been rescued, he can retreat.

As for completely destroying this base?

That is an act of declaration of war, and things have not reached that point yet.

The portal opened and Lorraine left with Steve on her back.

Watching them leave, the Riddler suddenly said: "You will pay the price for this reckless action."

"I know."

Lorraine turned her head and smiled, "So we are all prepared."

……

New York Sanctuary.

Steve lay on the bed, his breathing calming down.

After doing a basic examination, Lorraine said to everyone waiting for the results: "I have given him the golden apple. He may sleep for a while, but there is no big problem."

After getting this good news, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Tony, in particular, felt like he had been reborn.

If Steve really dies, it will be a knot in his heart for the rest of his life.

After confirming that Steve was okay, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became much more relaxed.

It was only then that Banner realized how much their actions had crossed the line this time.

He smiled bitterly and said: "We just built the original body base. This is a project that the president has personally dealt with, right? It seems that we are all going to be in big trouble."

Tony shook his head and comforted everyone: "No, the president can only suffer the loss of being dumb."

Banner was a little confused, and Tony explained his discovery to everyone.

"The original body plan may seem glamorous, but it was actually built with lives. I don't know how many people have been sacrificed for such a few super-powered warriors. The president will not want this secret to be exposed.

"Moreover, the superpower criminals who appear frequently now are inseparable from the original body serum."

Banner understood: "So you want to use this as a threat?"

"No! I want to use this as a weapon!"

Tony looked serious and said, "This is the weapon I will use when I run for president!"

Run for president! ?
Banner was stunned. He was silent for a long time, but he still couldn't help laughing.

"Sorry sorry!"

Banner kept apologizing, "Tony, are you sure you're not talking nonsense?"

How could anyone vote for Tony?
"Of course I'm serious and I already have a plan."

Tony shook his head. This was just a word of mouth now. How much he can achieve in the future will depend on his performance.

……

The next day, the Oval Office.

The President looked gloomy as he listened to the Riddler's report.

He tried hard to suppress his anger and said: "You mean, just four people defeated all the warriors in the original base?"

The president took a deep breath, completely unacceptable.

He had put so much effort into the original plan, and his performance before was indeed good, but now it was a complete failure.

Simply ridiculous!

Steve Rogers, Tony Stark, Bruce Banner, and Thor who calls himself God.

Didn't SHIELD control these guys?

What do they do with so much of the allocation every year? !
Why are today's popular superheroes more powerful than official super-powered warriors?

"The strength of the original warriors is indeed lacking today."

The Riddler sighed, "After all, we don't have level five superpowers."

"There must be one!" the president said firmly. "Continue the experiment and create at least a fifth-level warrior."

and also……

Anyone who breaks into the Primarch's base is his enemy.

Let’s start with Tony Stark!
The President picked up the phone and was about to contact the corresponding person when the Riddler suddenly received a message.

He raised his head and said to the president: "Mr. President, Tony Stark just participated in a talk show. I thought maybe you would be interested in the content of this show."

"what?"

The president frowned. The Riddler could tell such news at this critical point. Is it absolutely groundless?

Could it be that Stark had caught something about the original base and revealed it in the interview?

"Show me the video of the show!"

The playback of the talk show began. Tony Stark, dressed in a luxurious suit, sat opposite a black female host, with a confident smile on his face and high spirits.

The host is asking: "You just mentioned that you are not very satisfied with some of today's policies. So what would you do if it were you?"

"To make money, my core pursuit is only one, to help everyone make money!"

Stark showed no restraint and said calmly, "The Federation has undergone many changes over the years. I noticed that some people's lives are really difficult now. The federal government has spent too much money overseas, but the people's lives have not improved. , this is obviously wrong.

"If I become president, I will spend this money on the people and lead everyone to make money together so that they will no longer live a miserable life."

The hostess raised her eyebrows and said, "Wow! This sounds like a campaign manifesto. Will you run for president?"

Tony shook his head decisively: "No."

The host asked: "Never?"

Tony didn't accept the move: "I don't think I will, but I hope the person who serves as president can do a good job."

"Ok."

The host didn't get the answer he wanted and could only continue to ask, "Why don't you run for election?
"Well, there are many reasons!"

Tony crossed his legs and said easily, "I don't think I really have the intention to run for election. I love doing business, I really like it!"

The host joked: "The income is also very rich."

Tony laughed: "Yeah!"

The host thought for a while and did not change the topic.

She continued: “For some people, the ultimate goal in life is to become president, but why are people like you unwilling to run and participate in politics?

“You have all the funds you need and you have achieved a lot at a young age, why don’t you dedicate yourself to serving the people?”

Tony said without thinking: "Because I think that life is a very ordinary life. Of course I am willing to devote myself to the Federation, but I think that life is really ordinary.

“I also see some people who have strong opinions that may be valid but are not popular.

“Even if your views are correct, you may not have a chance to win against someone who has no brains but a bright smile.

"I probably wouldn't run right away, but I'm really tired of seeing what's going on in this commonwealth and how terrible life is for everyone."

The host asked curiously: "What is your evaluation of this year's presidential election?"

"I think it's going to be very interesting because our current president is running for re-election and he's going to be very advantageous."

Tony was talking eloquently, and his whole person was filled with extreme confidence.

The hostess couldn't help but ask: "It can be heard from your description that although you did not run for the election, you believe that if you were in, you would win?"

Tony couldn't help laughing and said: "If I can't win, I won't run, I will never lose in my life.

"If I really tend to run for president, then I must have a good chance of winning. I don't know what everyone thinks, but I know that there are many people who are tired of today's life.
“I can’t promise everything, but I can tell you one thing. The status quo will change and everyone will make a lot of money. Believe me, no one knows how to make money better than me.

"Of course, I'm not running for president now!"

Snapped--

The video was turned off, and the president looked utterly ridiculous.

"Tony Stark wants to run for president? Where does he get the courage?"

Everyone is not a fool and will not believe that Tony participated in a talk show out of nowhere and talked about the campaign without any purpose.

Although he said he would not run for office, everyone knew it.

Tony Stark is running for president!
"Isn't this person stupid?"

The President found it inexplicably funny. He didn't think anyone would be stupid enough to vote for Stark.

Who is Stark?

A second-generation rich man, an arms dealer, and a gossip. Whenever you mention him, you will think of him sleeping with Playboy cover girls for twelve months.

It's okay for a person like this to be a public figure, but not a presidential candidate.

but……

The president thought about the scene when Stark participated in the campaign and couldn't help laughing.

The famous writer Mark Twain wrote a novel called "Running for Governor". The protagonist in it is a good boy from all over the country. His character is recognized as upright. However, after he announced his candidacy for governor, all kinds of negative news immediately followed. Come.

Even during the speech, some children rushed to the stage and hugged his legs and called him daddy.Attacking character and private life is a particularly useful method in the election campaign.

Why is this happening?It is because the public attaches great importance to the personal ethics of candidates, and they hope that a person with high moral standards will lead them.

And Tony Stark, does he have any so-called personal ethics?
There is no need to even investigate his dirty information. A random search will reveal a long list of them.

How dare such a person open his mouth to say anything about participating in the election?
The president really wanted to laugh.

"But he is indeed a bit clever at this."

The president thought about it and could only think of one reason for Stark's candidacy. "After he made such remarks in public, I can't do anything to him casually. Okay, let him enjoy a good life for a few more days." , wait until the election is over and deal with him again!”

……

Outside Stark Manor, countless reporters were waiting.

A luxury car drove up, Tony got out of the car, and reporters immediately rushed over.

They saw Tony's interview and immediately came over to interview him.

No one thought Stark could be elected president, but I have to say that his remarks today brought joy to countless people.

As expected of Tony Stark, he easily did a job that no one else could do in a lifetime!
Tony's bodyguard blocked the reporter, but the inquiry still reached his ears.

"Everyone, I can't answer any of your questions here!"

Tony was in a relaxed state and showed a charming smile, "But you can follow my social media. I will post any news there as soon as possible. You can interact with me at any time!"

After saying that, he turned around and entered the manor.

Little Pepper hurried up and asked in confusion: "What's going on with you? I didn't even hear a word about such a big thing?"

"Don't ask why!" Tony smiled, "What do you think of me doing this?"

"Well...of course I support you!"

Little Pepper said helplessly, "You have your own goals, which is better than staying in the studio day and night before. Tell me the truth, are you serious?"

Tony put away his cynical expression and looked extremely serious.

"Seriously, I've never been so serious!"

"it is good!"

Pepper nodded, and she handed the file in hand to Tony.

"In this case, let's start now. You must take a good look at these information!
"Seriously, you can't be like you used to be. We first need to create a personality for you. How about the prodigal son turning back? Everyone likes this!"

"I do not want!"

Tony pushed back the documents, shook his head and said, "The character of the prodigal son has been used so many times by others. I want to be a prodigal for the rest of my life and can never look back. Believe me, I have my own plan!"

Back in the mansion, Tony told Jarvis: "Make a facial portrait. The target group is labeled as having a conservative political stance, with no more than a high school education, and a job that is mainly manual labor..."

Tony sat on the sofa, constantly imagining what those left behind in the development of the Federation should look like.

Thinking about it, I have a headache.

After all, he was still limited by his own vision. He had seen so many poor people. If it hadn't been for Jarvis, he might not have known how to start.

"Also, I really need to change my personality in the future!"

The prodigal son returns?That doesn't work, in the final analysis we are still elites.

"The words I use when I speak in the future cannot exceed the ninth grade level. To make sure that even people who have never read a book can understand what I say, the more vulgar the metaphors I use, the better, and the simpler the quotes, the better."

Tony said one thing and Jarvis took one thing.

“Also, appear in public more and remember the glorious days of the Federation more.

“As well as social software, we must vigorously operate it to achieve zero-distance contact with our voters. It doesn’t matter even if we quarrel with them, they must see my human side.

"I want them to realize that I am a real person, not a face on a campaign ad!"

Jarvis's records became more and more abundant, and Tony's ideas became smoother and smoother.

Before I knew it, a clear campaign idea was designed.

"Jarvis, design a poster for me!"

"Good sir!"

Not long after, a holographic projection poster appeared in front of Tony. He was wearing a suit and leather shoes, with a smile showing eight standard teeth, arms folded, and he was very energetic!
Tony looked at this poster, but he didn't like it.

"No! It's too high-end! The design style should be a bit earthy, without any lofty feeling, and my status as a billionaire should be downplayed as much as possible."

If it wasn't too vulgar, Tony would have liked to have his body turned into an eight-pack and displayed directly in front of the public.

Big muscles and a big beard, these are the outstanding men in the eyes of conservative people.

"No hurry, take your time!"

Tony designed everything from scratch, piece by piece.

……

In the Holy of Holies, looking at today's news, Lorraine also felt a little surprised.

Tony Stark is much more capable than he thought.

This is serious!

It seems that what happened in the original base gave him a big impact.

Nowadays, public opinion cannot be said to be unfavorable about Stark's candidacy. It can only be said that it is completely regarded as a joke.

Several commentators commented that the only way for Tony Stark is to create a prodigal son character. He happened to have been kidnapped before, so he could publicize this aspect more and make people empathize.

But Lorraine knew that if she did this, Tony would definitely lose.

After all, this method is still the traditional way of playing, and what Tony is playing now is a very new thing.

He completely focused his attention on the people who were ignored by the public.

"Behave well, Stark. In the world of my previous life, someone really took your path!"

Lorraine turned on his phone and secretly followed Tony's new social account.

Tony's profile picture is just a mug shot of him wearing a suit with a bright smile. This silly look is completely inconsistent with his previous image of a business elite.

At this point, Tony had already sent out his first tweet.

"Hello everyone, I'm Tony Stark!"

Then with the picture, Tony is wearing a vest, covered in oil, holding a wrench and hammer, repairing the vehicle in the workshop.

There is no sense of superiority at all, just like a worker in a street car repair shop.

Even the car wasn't the luxury car Tony usually drove, it was just a common car on the roadside.

It feels like Tony may have bought a new car just to take this photo.

He really found his direction.

Lorraine nodded, with special concern, ready to pay attention to Tony's tweets.

"The election campaign is not just a matter of one or two days. There will be great things to watch in the following time, so please pay attention slowly!"

Lorraine walked into the room where Steve was still lying on the bed.

For more than ten hours, he seemed to be asleep, but he couldn't wake up.

Lorraine knew that Steve was slowly integrating with the Joker's personality.

Although Lorraine has her own goals, in order to transcend her fate, she will no longer be affected by changes in the timeline.

But after all, he can't do it by any means, and there is no need to do it by any means.

"Steve, it's up to you to decide whether the clown is a blessing or a curse for you. As long as you relax a bit, he will be all-pervasive!"

Walking out of the room, an ugly doll stood in front of him.

Sabak.

Lorraine frowned: "What are you going to do?"

"Hahaha, I feel it!"

Shabak glanced at the sleeping Steve, and he felt that Mr. Nightmare's consciousness was awakening in it.

This is enough to make you feel angry.

"You're going to be doomed, you're going to be doomed!"

Shabak played the Riddler and felt much more comfortable.

These days, he lives under someone else's roof. In this holy place, he is bullied by cats and people every day. He has long been fed up with it.

I don’t know when I will be able to escape from this place.

Looking at Shabak running away, Lorraine suddenly realized something.

Shabak cannot be allowed to eat and drink for free here!
His hellfire is effective in hatching immortal dragon eggs.

According to my discussion with Thor, I learned that if it is a fire dragon, it can absorb the source of flames from the outside world to strengthen its own growth.

Roasting dragon eggs with Shabak's hellfire can speed up the development of dragon eggs, and it will not have the effect of counterproductive.

it is good!
Starting today, I also found a new job for Shabak.

Be a lighter!
