Just as a group of tourists were chattering, suddenly there were bursts of exclamations from the distance, mixed with some cheers.
The group of high school students turned around and saw a red and blue figure flying among the tall buildings.
"Look! It's Spider-Man!" One of the guys with eyes shouted in surprise.
Unexpectedly, a thick-lipped black guy next to me said disdainfully: "Yeah, New Yorker's pajama baby. What's so good about it?"
Spider-Man, New York’s new darling. She is affectionately called the 'pajama baby'. Because many witnesses who have come into contact with this superhero said that Spider-Man should not be very old, because whether it is from his height, business, or behavioral patterns, it can be felt that this superhero is not very old, at most he is just a person. High school student.
As for the pajamas, that's another joke, from The Clarion. Because when this superhero first appeared, his uniform... was called rubbish. At first glance, it was a cheaply made one, and the plaid pattern looked like pajamas. As a result, he was ridiculed as a pajama baby by the Bugle.
However, this does not affect Spider-Man's popularity in New York at all.
After all, the superheroes in New York in the past were either super rich or extremely aloof. Even those who were down-to-earth were mostly too 'adult-oriented', such as the Defenders, who had nothing to do with civility and politeness. The emergence of Spider-Man is simply a breath of fresh air in the superhero world.
Polite and funny, he is like a boy next door, not at all out of place like a superhero.
Therefore, many New Yorkers view Spider-Man as if they were their own children, and always respond with a lot of tolerance and love. When Spider-Man first debuted, he got into a lot of trouble, and even caused a lot of property damage due to several arrests of criminals. As for the casualties, there were very few injuries. Although the little spider looked unreliable, in a certain It's quite reliable in some respects.
But young people are always more impulsive. When he was arresting a criminal gang called the "Rogue Gang", he was a bit self-righteous and put himself in danger several times. Not to mention, he also destroyed the police arrangements several times. , letting the rogue gang escape, and incidentally causing the police to suffer unnecessary losses, which is a typical case of doing bad things with good intentions.
It was also because of this that the police department became angry and directly ordered Spider-Man to be wanted.
As a result, many citizens complained about Spider-Man, believing that he just wanted to help and should not be treated as a criminal. There were even protests at the police station.
This made the police very angry. It was obviously Spider-Man who made a mistake, so why were they the ones being protested?
Of course, there are still people who understand. In public opinion circles, attitudes towards Spider-Man are generally divided into three groups.
One group naturally supports Spider-Man.
A child who puts himself in danger just to help others should be encouraged no matter what, right? Are the police turned into criminals? Is that too harsh? A few words of criticism and education will suffice, the important thing is guidance.
The other group, on the contrary, believes that just because he is young, he should stay away from such things. Did you learn to ignore the law at such a young age? If we continue to let things go, who knows what the future will bring? After all, today he is fighting criminals and seeking justice, but what about the future? You must know that adults' sense of right and wrong is completely different from that of children. Will he turn into a bastard who has no respect and acts wantonly?
In addition to these two factions, there is also a middle faction, which is not so serious and generally belongs to the general public. They don't think that deeply and just think that having more superheroes is a good thing. But it doesn’t compare Spider-Man to other superheroes either. After all, this is just a child.
However, despite the controversy, overall media opinion is quite tolerant of Spider-Man.
After all, he is still just a child. In the Western public opinion environment, there has always been a very clear distinction, that is, children are angels!
Especially for children under the age of fourteen, it is basically impossible for them to do anything wrong. Even if they do commit a crime, they will be ignored directly, and the public opinion environment is very relaxed.
But as soon as he turned eighteen, he immediately stopped working.
There is no definite conclusion on how old Spider-Man is, but everyone generally believes that he is a child of fourteen or fifteen years old. Therefore, no matter which newspaper or media, it is impossible to say too harshly to Spider-Man. If you say too harshly, the child welfare agency and a group of child educators may come to protest at any time.
Also, Spider-Man... isn't special.
Yes, another reason why the public opinion environment is tolerant of Spider-Man is because Spider-Man is quite mediocre among the entire superhero group.
He does not have the devastation of the Knight King.
Without the mystery of Batman.
Nor does he have the wealth and influence of Tony Stark.
Even the combat effectiveness is not outstanding.
This kind of superhero...does it make sense to target him?
He is one of those superheroes who doesn't have much impact even without him.
Even though he is very popular in New York, it is only in New York. Outside of New York, his influence is really average.
"Be careful!!!" The little spider shouted loudly to nearby pedestrians to move away while wandering among tall buildings.
After all, the object he is chasing is very dangerous.
Boom boom boom!
The sound of huge footsteps caused slight vibrations on the ground. Everyone understands that the big guy is coming.
New Yorkers were used to this situation and immediately went into hiding.
After all, being involved in a battle between superheroes is definitely not a good thing.
At this time, the tourists also saw clearly what Spider-Man was chasing.
It was a man wearing a red and yellow battle suit. He was very strong, and the mecha on his body was also extremely heavy, so when he ran, he made a lot of noise.
But what's most noticeable about him are his hands.
There is a pair of very huge metal gloves on it, and there is a pair of conical metal blocks at the fist position, which is a bit like an enlarged version of a portable breaker.
His name is Thriller, a super villain and a member of the rogue gang who has been very active recently.
Horror's real name is Herman Schulz, who was originally a thief who was good at picking locks and deciphering safe codes. They belong to the skilled group of criminals. Not only that, he is also an extremely talented inventor and engineer.
His past is actually very simple. He is a smart man who went astray due to lack of family education. When he was a child, his parents were divorced, well, not really divorced. His mother ran away because she couldn't stand his drunken and violent father.
Due to family reasons, Schultz dropped out of high school because he had to support himself. His irresponsible father left a lot of debt when he was in high school and ran away. After that, Schultz joined a gang, but even so, he still relied on his talent to read a lot of books and learn a lot of knowledge.
And then he was arrested, and by the way, he was arrested by Kai in Hell's Kitchen.
He counts himself lucky, because criminals who survive when Kai takes action are generally lucky.
Later, due to the Battle of New York, he relied on his lockpicking skills to escape from prison.
In fact, the aftermath of the Battle of New York has always existed, not only the economy and people's livelihood, but also the loss of many Chitauri technologies to the people. Schultz was lucky enough to get some, and then relying on his talent and knowledge, he pieced it all together and finally came up with something.
Shock gloves.
The idea came from Batman. His iron gloves have huge destructive power, and the vibration intensity is divided into five levels. Level one is enough to send many strong men flying hundreds of meters. Level three, if fired at close range, can blast the bones in the human body to pieces. Level three The fifth watch can directly bring down a building. Quite an excellent invention.
As for the Rogue Gang, it is an organization organized by a group of superpowers. So the gang is actually more like an alliance. Members of a rogue gang commit crimes together and share the profits.
Speaking of these people, we have to mention the accident that gave birth to The Flash. Most members of the Rogue Gang gained their abilities because of this accident. Such as Captain Cold and Heatwave. They are also the organizers of rogue gangs.
Captain Cold's real name is Leonard Snart, a highly intelligent criminal who likes to rob banks, and Heat Wave's real name is Mick Rory, an arsonist, robber, and murderer. Previously in Chicago, these two shot a bank together and were caught by Kai Fei. Later, relying on Snart's high IQ, the two escaped from prison and ran to Los Angeles, where they gained superpowers by accident.
In short, under the organization of the two men, the Rogue Gang is very active. In Los Angeles, they have always been the Flash's old enemy. Until recently, they arrived in New York.
Then there was a conflict with the local superhero.
Although the Rogue Gang is a loose alliance, it actually has strict internal rules. The first is 'no killing unless absolutely necessary'. Rogue gangs also despise those lunatics who like to kill. Most of their crimes are for money.
Others include, for example, no drugs, no harm to women or children, cruel and immature behavior to be avoided, gang members are not allowed to kill each other, and if someone violates the rules, the gang will punish him without hesitation.
All in all, it is a relatively less extreme criminal organization.
Horror is unlucky enough today, as today is not a rogue gang event. After all, they are just a loose alliance that allows members to conduct 'private business'. If it's scary this time, it's going to break through the bank vault.
He prepared for this for a long time. Through the stolen engineering drawings, he discovered that there was a problem with the underground structure of a bank. He only needed a light touch of his trap to penetrate the other party's vault, and then he could Take the money inside and walk away.
It was originally just a simple job.
Unfortunately, he met Spider-Man.
So it became like this.
"Hey! Little Spider! Come on! I hope you can successfully catch the Rogue Gang today!"
Just as he was running away in horror, the people on the side didn't forget to encourage their 'children'!
"Three grams of oil, sir!"
The little spider flew towards Horror while gesturing to the people beside him.
This group of people was so scared that they were half dead.
But he didn't dare to do anything to the onlookers.
There's no way around it, New York is not easy to get along with. Forget about superheroes like the Defenders and Spider-Man, they are at best vigilantes who only care about the severity of their actions and will not kill easily. Spider-Man and Daredevil, in particular, are notorious for not killing people.
But the same cannot be said for other big guys.
They rob cash trucks, banks or financial institutions, and the superhero bosses may not pay attention. But if you kill people on the street, you may attract those big guys at any time.
Especially Iron Man and Thor Kai.
This is why the Rogue Gang has been active but has not yet been wiped out. The big guys have gone to do important things.
Such as Kai.
…
"By the way, what have you been doing recently?" Tony looked at Kai curiously. Kai has rarely appeared in recent times, not only in front of the media, but even in the police station. Everything in the Fifth Bureau was run by George Stacey.
Kai lay weakly on Natasha's lap, put his wine glass on the coffee table, and said with a tired look: "What else can be done? It's not those things, such as saving the earth."
Pepper's eyes widened and she looked at Tony: "Did some big event happen recently that I don't know about?"
Tony shook his head: "Honey, believe me, I don't know either."
After letting Tony look at Kai: "Are you serious?"
Kai cast a weak glance at Tony: "You think I'm idle?"
"what happened?"
"The reason is not yet clear. Master Gu Yi is investigating, but I can tell you that Gu Yi and I have been fighting monsters for the past few months."
"Monster? Vampire kind?"
"Of course not, it's Gutman's kind."
Gutman is the Ultraman of this world and is very popular, especially among boys. Therefore, no matter in which world they are in, leather cover special effects films are a romance for boys.
"real?"
"real!"
"Then where are you fighting? An alien planet?" Gutman's monster settings are the same as those of Ultraman in his previous life, which can easily reach hundreds of meters. There's no reason why Tony wouldn't know about the appearance of such a monster.
"Have you seen Journey to the Center of the Earth?"
"Written by Jules Verne?" Jules Verne's status in the world of science fiction is unquestionable. The title of the father of science fiction is no joke. Many technologies in this world were used by Jules Verne in his works. prophesied in. Many inventors of modern technology have been inspired by him. For example, the first sentence of Simon Lake, the inventor of the submarine, in his autobiography is "Jules Verne is the general guide of my life's career"; the Navy Major General Byrd said that Verne was his guide after flying over the North Pole; the balloon and deep-sea explorer Piccard and the inventor of the radio, Markney, all agreed that Verne was the person who inspired their inventions.
Tony is no exception. By the way, the idea for his Iron Man suit was inspired by the power armor in Robert Heinlein's masterpiece "Starship Troopers."
"That's right!"
"Is there really an inner earth world?!!"
"certainly!"
Natasha's spy instinct was immediately triggered, and she could understand how important this information was!
