Phantom Kid in the World of American Comics

In the middle of the night, Charlie returned to Chinatown.

Mathison had already been waiting for him at home.

“Was it successful?”

“The whole Stark Expo in pictures is here.”

Charlie raised his head slightly, and a pinhole camera was tied to his neck.

“Has the teaser letter been handed out?”

“Don’t worry, I made sure it’s so eye-catching that everyone can notice it.”

Mathison nodded, then picked the pinhole camera on Charlie’s neck.

“Why have you been there for so long?”

Hearing that, Charlie rolled his eyes at him.

“Really… you have to ask me that? I am a dog, how the hell would I be able to hitchhike?”

Mathison: “…”

This makes sense.

It’s all to blame on Charlie acting always like a human being, so much that Mathison often forgets that Charlie is a dog.

“Forget it, let’s take a look at the Stark Expo that I photographed first.”

Charlie placed the camera on the desktop and then brought a laptop and projector, which Mathison bought for it.

Charlie skillfully installed the camera on the projector, then connected it to the computer, and then tapped on the keyboard with his small paws.

A projection appeared on the wall and began to play the content of Charlie’s entire filming.

Starting from surrounding the entire expo, to every building and general structure of the expo. Charlie has photographed everything in detail.

Mathison wasn’t just watching, he took out his computer and was typing on the keyboard quickly.

He analyzed the full picture of the Stark Expo taken by Charlie into a series of image information and then combined them together to simulate a nearly completely restored Stark Expo.

Sometimes, he envies Tony’s holographic imaging technology. It doesn’t take even a second to construct a 100% reproduced model, and it is a purely physical three-dimensional image. The viewer can observe it from different angles without restriction. You can even go through the image and interact with it in real-time.

But Mathison can only see the magnificence of the Stark Expo through the slightly rough 3D simulation image on the screen.

The main exhibition hall is the main venue in the center of the fair, facing a huge globe statue.

The entire venue presents a circular structure, without a complete wall. And the outer circle is completely hollowed out, consisting only of a few intersecting pillars.

On the top is a layer of glass with good light transmission.

The booth is very large, and each piece of the floor above can rise up. When the exhibition starts, the products to be exhibited will rise from under the floor, which is very different from ordinary exhibitions.

Of course, Mathison is very skeptical that this scheme can reflect the sense of science and technology, but it must be said that it is a good way to create a sense of anticipation.

No one knows what new products the next exhibitor wants to show people.

The front of the booth is a large screen, which has many functions and is very common.

Isn’t it the kind of holographic screen that Tony likes to use, perhaps to fit most people’s technical level?

Behind the big screen is the exit of the exhibition hall and a large parking space.

The first generation of the Arc Reactor is on display at this booth.

Including all sorts of high-end technologies, without exception.

As for other buildings, some are pavilions, restaurants, bars, and even homestays.

None of them has anything worth noting.

“Charlie, what do you think of escaping from here?”

Mathison said while pointing to a place on the simulated map.

“Well… it’s really hard to be surrounded by the police there, but your opponent this time is not just as simple as the police. As far as I know, Tony Stark is not a generous person.”

After thinking for a moment, Charlie replied.

“You steal his Arc Reactor, he will never leave you alone. The place you pointed at is too narrow. If he shoots a missile at it, you won’t be able to hide.”

“Even if you use teleporting magic, you can move up to one or two kilometers. At that time, your mana will almost be exhausted, and then, it would be a troublesome task to get out of the expo.”

Mathison nodded, the existence of Mark’s suit was too disruptive, and conventional methods would definitely not work.

All the methods that can be established under the existing physical system cannot exceed Jarvis’s deduction.

He has to think of a way to get Tony to take off the suit himself, it would be better if he could not wear it.

But… is this possible?

The current Tony is poisoned by palladium, and it is estimated that all he is thinking about is dying in his battlesuit.

Suddenly, Mathison’s eyes blinked.

“Charlie, maybe we can do this…”

After listening to Mathison’s idea, Charlie looked confused, wondering whether he should believe him or not.

“Forget it! If something happens, the person who will get in jail will not be me. If you are so confident, then do it yourself.”

“Hey, why are you so rude?”

Mathison’s eyes twitched.

“Hehe, compared to someone letting his dog run from Manhattan’s Chinatown to Flushing, Queens, and then run back after several hours of filming, I’m quite kind.”

Mathison: “…”

Suddenly he felt a sudden burst of guilt; it must be some sort of placebo.

The next day, Flushing Meadows Corona Park.

Thousands of people stopped at the periphery of the Stark Expo, which hadn’t opened yet. Many of them were shouting frantically.

Everyone looked excitedly at the white exterior wall next to the entrance, and a few big-lettered lines above.

“The lonely hero fell from the sky

On behalf of the moon’s daughter waiting for an opportunity

When the wanderer’s journey begins

I will embark on this glorious ceremony

To take away the old ark

Sincerely yours, Phantom Kid”

Next to it, a familiar cartoon portrait of Phantom Kid was drawn, but it was many times larger than the one on the card.

Phantom Kid has released a notice letter again!

Moreover, he boldly wrote the notice on the outer wall of the Stark Expo. This is a blatant provocation to Stark Industries…

Provoking Iron Man?

No one in the world doesn’t know that Tony Stark is Iron Man. And for Phantom Kid to do this, in anyone’s eyes, is a challenge to Iron Man!

Especially that, not long ago, Tony was attacked in a racing race in Monaco, and he must be enraged right now. 

  Can Phantom Kid really steal what he wants from under the eyelids of the furious Iron Man?
