American comics: I drew Superman during the Great Depression

Hoo, ho, ho~

In the counter-world, Colin opened his eyes and heard the howling wind in his ears.

boom!

However, before he could react, violent flames and explosions enveloped his body, and the missile launched by Ultron accurately hit him.

In the huge impact of the explosion, Colin fell rapidly like a weightless airplane, penetrated the clouds and fell heavily into the sea, causing a lot of water splashes and waves.

"Lost target trace...Lost target trace..."

Control the flamethrower behind you to land at sea level.

Ultron turned the mechanical eyes with scarlet light shining in his eye sockets, constantly scanning the sparkling sea below.

"Target destroyed! Attack mode, end!"

After a few seconds, it was determined that there was no sign of the suspected target.

Only then did Ultron stop the dangerous red light in his eyes, and the activated weapon bay also closed and returned to normal.

"Unlock..."

Putting away the offensive weapons on his body, with a huge roar of the engine, Ultron sprayed huge flames from behind and circled away from the sea.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

And just a few minutes after it left, it was accompanied by several violent coughs.

Colin, who should have died under the missile attack, now fluttered to the surface.

"Fortunately, I was prepared in advance..."

He opened his mouth and spat out the salty sea water in his mouth. Colin took a big breath of air and was thankful at the same time.

The process of returning to the counter-world was more dangerous than he had previously expected. It could be said that he was almost not given any time to react. The moment Colin opened his eyes, the missile had already hit his body.

If not for it before, he successfully unlocked Superman's [Super Defense Power] in the real world.

Maybe what's floating on the sea now is Colin's charred stumps. No, that's not right. With the power of the missile just now, there may not even be any body left, but it may just be thrown into ashes.

After settling down his emotions, he controlled his body and swam towards the coast.

At the same time, Colin focused on the text.

[Contact the twisted time node and collect a small amount of time fragments × 2]

[Bronze Mark (3/100)]

【Faith(783/10000)】

There is no doubt that [time fragments] were also produced in this 'contact' with Ultron Type I.

But if possible, Colin would rather such contact not happen.

After all, it is a process that compares to casually shaking hands and chatting with Strange, or interviewing Mr. Hyde and others to obtain fragments. At the moment, the process of obtaining these two fragments from Ultron is too dangerous.

This price/performance ratio is terrible.

Shaking his head and looking away from the text [Time Fragments (Ultron)], Colin swam towards the coastline while thinking about his experience of the attack.

For Colin, this attack was an unforeseen disaster.

First of all, he has no idea why Ultron attacked him.

The other party suddenly appeared in the air, and then without any explanation or warning, he launched a missile directly at him who was [invisible].

The whole process has no logic.

"So, what did I do to trigger Ultron's attack?"

Relating to the peaceful days before, the only special thing seems to be the act of flying.

"In other words, it was because I showed my [flying] ability and flew into the air that I attracted Ultron's attack..."

After all, he was negligent, thinking that he would not be discovered under the cover of [Invisibility].

"But why?"

"It's just [Flying]. If I remember correctly, Songbird, a member of the Thunderbolts that I interviewed before, also has this ability. Why didn't she attract Ultron when she was flying in the air?" What about locking and attacking?”

"Or, Ultron's attacks only target specific targets, and I happened to be this target."

One doubt after another flashed in Colin's mind.

He recalled the appearance of Ultron before. There was no doubt that the other party had not awakened artificial intelligence, which meant that this Ultron was under control.

"Then who controlled the attack launched by Ultron?"

Floating in the sea, Colin looked up at the blue sky above his head. The sun shone through the clouds on his face, bringing a somewhat hot temperature.

Other than that, the sky seemed to be no different from the one in my memory.

…

By the time Colin swam ashore, it was already dark at the beach.

I 'borrowed' some clothes from a vacation villa on the beach to replace the tattered cloth strips on my body.

Colin began to follow his memory back.

His previous experience of being attacked made him a lot more cautious, and he even used his [Invisibility] ability when walking home.

The journey along the way was quite smooth and peaceful. There were no accidents or blind people coming to cause trouble for him.

Phew~

Climb the stairs to your apartment.

Standing in front of the door, Colin couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, and exited the [Stealth] mode with a looming figure.

The experience along the way seemed particularly long to him. When he arrived at the door of his house and relaxed, the fatigue that had been forgotten came back, both mentally and physically. At this moment, Colin felt that his head was aching as if he had been enduring for a week. Maybe he would fall asleep the next second after closing his eyes.

He forced himself to put his hand on the door handle.

Click!

With a slight twisting sound, the originally closed door was forcibly opened by Colin.

The original key had long been turned into ashes with the previous attack of Ultron, and he had no energy to go to the landlord to get another key.

So he just turned the door open and went in first.

Pushed the door open and entered the house.

"Do you think you can get rid of Ultron's pursuit like this, Mr. Colin Luper?"

Before Colin could make any move, a hoarse voice suddenly came from the house.

Then, a vague figure stood there motionlessly in the shadow of the window of the room.

"Who are you?"

Turning his head to look at the location where the voice came from, Colin asked with a serious face, and at the same time he was speechless.

So is the [Invisibility] ability I unlocked fake?

How come anyone can find me?

"..."

After a short silence, a man in a black windbreaker, wrapped tightly around his body, walked out of the shadows.

"Howard Stark, the leader of the Dark Avengers..."

Howard Stark? !

Looking at the man who walked out of the shadows and the name he said, Colin's face showed a look of shock and astonishment.

If he remembered correctly, the Stark family had unfortunately died in the 1990s, including Howard Stark, the founder of Stark Industries.

This was the news report that Colin saw at the beginning of his time travel.
