The lawsuit is now in Houston District Court.
As soon as the news that the lawsuit was accepted was released, it immediately aroused heated discussion among the people. Even the people were divided into two factions.
One group naturally supports the prosecution of the victims. The reason is very simple. People will always sympathize with the weak. Those people did not make any mistakes, they just watched the game honestly. Then the Fantastic Four suddenly appeared and caused them to encounter difficulties. imaginary disaster.
Although they knew that the Fantastic Four were fake, they ignored it. Or indeed, some people believe it is false but don’t care. But some people also asked, who can prove that the Fantastic Four on that day were fake?
Of course, people who think this way do have a darker psychology, but this suspicion is reasonable. Unless the evidence is produced!
But this evidence collection is difficult. After all, it is difficult for the superheroes who were captured with the Fantastic Four to prove to them. After all, most superheroes will not reveal their true identities. If they do not reveal themselves when testifying, identity, then the evidence will be invalid. Even if some superheroes don't care much about their identities being exposed, they still face all kinds of criticism. After all, who can prove that your testimony is correct?
They weren't captured together, and furthermore, the other party's lawyer even had reasonable doubts that the Fantastic Four who were with them at the time must be genuine?
Don’t underestimate a lawyer’s ability to find loopholes.
And this step is precisely the most difficult to prove. After all, if the superheroes they were locked up with actually recognized the Skrulls... they wouldn't have been caught.
The law is about logic and evidence. As long as the suspicion raised by the opposing lawyer is reasonable and logical, it may be accepted by the court and the jury. Even though the whole world knows that it was the fake Fantastic Four who caused Houston's tragedy, there is still the same sentence - where is the evidence!
But there are also a considerable number of people who feel that this prosecution itself is a naked atrocity!
As mentioned above, the whole world believed that it was the Skrulls pretending to be the Fantastic Four who caused the tragedy, but a group of people ignored this fact and prosecuted according to the law!
Isn't this an atrocity?
If the Fantastic Four really lose the lawsuit because of this, how can there be any justice?
Law or justice, who is more important?
Actually, everyone talks a little bit harshly, but in fact, they don’t care much.
Because it has nothing to do with their interests, everyone is just talking.
In fact, Richards didn't care either.
He won't be happy if he wins. After all, someone died, and he did not need to be responsible.
It’s okay if you lose. The most you can do is lose some money.
It seems that these people are aggressive, but in fact, unless the U.S. government wants to stand against all superheroes, it is absolutely impossible to impose terrible punishments. The most is a fine of several hundred million.
He can afford the compensation!
He can handle the fine himself without even needing help from Stark and the Wayne Consortium.
Although it will be a little unhappy, it is acceptable.
He does good deeds unlike the Human Torch, who likes others to cheer him on and enjoys the public attention. Richards does not do good things because of these things...but he is willing and able to do so.
He even regarded it as a sport or hobby. He always believed that his main job was as a scientist.
So just when everyone thought Richards was struggling with the lawsuit, he himself didn't care at all.
"Richard! What on earth are you thinking? Why did you say that?!
"The character of the Invisible Woman overlaps quite a bit with Pepper. She is responsible for all the work that Richards is not interested in...including public relations. (In fact, before the movie came out, Iron Man was not as well-known as the Fantastic Four. It can even be said that The superhero Iron Man is a second- and third-tier hero, but Marvel didn’t have any of the popular heroes at the time, such as the Fantastic Four and the X-Men, so they chose Iron Man only if they had no other choice)
In fact, Susan had already prepared for the current situation.
According to the plan of her and the public relations team, they only need to express their regrets, and then use humanitarianism to spend a sum of money. This public opinion crisis can be completely overcome. After all, the facts are there. It was not them who caused the tragedy, but the aliens who stood in their faces. They themselves were unable to save themselves and were imprisoned on Mars. As long as they have a better attitude and come up with some money, everything will be solved perfectly.
Even if someone is unwilling to give in, it is because they are greedy.
After all, they have already paid for it, so what else can they do?
Although this idea may be very rebellious in China, after all, human life is greater than heaven. But in a capital society, human life is also a resource that can be quantified!
They were irresponsible and gave money to others. If they use this as an argument, they have violated the established rules of society, "No second trial" and "Give money to do things."
I gave you money and you accepted it.
Then this matter has become a new story and cannot be discussed again.
That's the end of it.
Their public opinion crisis is over.
But the problem is that Richards' violent remarks suddenly made things troublesome!
"I'm just telling the truth! Susan. We were not wrong." Richards didn't even put down the work in his hands, but said calmly.
"I know, I know. We are not wrong, but public opinion is right or wrong!" Susan looked at her boyfriend helplessly... She liked his personality, he was very obsessed with it. But sometimes it's really a headache.
"I know you can solve it, right?" Richards looked at his girlfriend with a smile.
"Can you tell me why you are doing this?" Susan felt that Richards did it on purpose.
Richards put down his work and looked at Susan seriously: "Susan, how long has it been since you cared about Jonathan?"
"Jonathan?" Susan was a little stunned, why did she mention her brother?
But as soon as she talked about her brother, Susan immediately wanted to get angry again.
"By the way! And Jonathan! He does the same, I asked him to be more honest! But he still went to the bar to drink! He was even photographed!"
Susan doted on her brother and was annoyed at the same time.
Because she was orphaned at a young age and the two siblings depended on each other for life, Susan had always been afraid that Jonathan would be harmed. In order to make up for the loss of her parents, Susan's love and care for Jonathan reached the point of doting.
And Jonathan also developed his unruly and independent personality.
When Richards heard Susan's complaint, he suddenly realized that he seemed...to take up too much of Susan's time.
Since Susan followed him, the focus of Susan's life has shifted to him, so that she cares a lot less about Jonathan... But this is normal, as she grows up.
But this still makes Richards feel a little guilty.
"Susan, can't you see that Jonathan's mood is very wrong? He used to just mess around, but not to this level." Richards said.
Susan was surprised, she didn't understand.
"What's wrong with Jonathan?"
Richards said: "You protected him so well that he always had a childish streak. Public opinion has seriously affected him. Jonathan... isn't as strong as you think!"
】
In fact, Richards always felt that Jonathan was just a child before he grew up.
But Susan...what should I say?
Doting on him too much.
Whatever Jonathan wanted, she was satisfied.
She insisted on taking Jonathan with her when she went to space. To form the Fantastic Four, Susan must bring him with her. Jonathan caused so much trouble, and it was Susan who had to deal with it!
Fortunately, Jonathan was just a bit mischievous and was a kind-hearted child, otherwise he would definitely be a playboy.
But Susan never seemed to notice this, she just wiped his butt and gave him the best. But it's been a long time since he paid attention to Jonathan's real thoughts.
It's like parents who are busy with their careers, thinking that they are giving their children the best, and that everything will be fine.
"You said..." Susan was a little surprised and a little...unbelievable.
"Yes, if I had admitted my mistake on our behalf...even verbally, it would have hurt Jonathan even more. He is a kind boy. He feels guilty about the disaster. Your idea may be good for public opinion, but For Jonathan, it just made his guilt worse."
"That's why you changed the speech temporarily?"
It was as if Susan was meeting her boyfriend for the first time.
Richards was a little helpless: "I just don't like these things, it doesn't mean I don't understand. I thought you could see something was wrong with Jonathan."
Susan also thought at this time that before the press conference, Jonathan was indeed not in a good mood.
But at that time, Susan thought Jonathan was having trouble again.
So I didn't care.
Jonathan is actually very similar to Tony, rebellious on the surface, but actually sensitive and fragile on the inside.
Susan: "I...I..."
Then he turned around and ran away.
Went to find Jonathan.
She actually couldn't see it as clearly as Richards. It was in vain that she always thought she understood human nature better than Richards, but in the end, she didn't even notice that her brother had a mental problem!
…
Just when news about the Fantastic Four was hot.
Inside the secret base on Skull Island.
Nick Fury was outside a heavily protected operating room, watching a group of Monarch scientists perform a very cyberpunk surgery!
"Director...are you really going to do this? You know, she betrayed the earth!" Newt Gisele, chief scientist of the Monarch Organization, said hesitantly next to Nick Fury.
Nick Fury turned his head and looked at Newt Gisele. If it were before, he would never have bothered to explain to him. After all, the director's strength is there, and you just need to follow orders. But it doesn't work now. A phoenix is worse than a chicken. Carol has caused too much damage to him.
His reputation was not what it once was.
So he had to explain: "I know, so I'm going to resurrect her!"
Newt Gisele opened his mouth, but no sound came out.
Nick Fury then said: "As a weapon!"
He put his hand on the glass window, looked at Carol's body during the operation, and said with a little melancholy: "I used to think that Carol was the most powerful trump card on earth, and the Avenger...it was me back then. The plan based on her suggestion, I have high hopes for her! Do you know why I was so confident that I could lead you to defeat those Titans?"
Newt Gisele doesn't know the answer yet.
"because of her?"
"Yeah. You also saw that battle. You should be able to understand how strong she is." Nick Fury sighed: "But I didn't expect that she has been away from the earth for so many years, and I don't know what she has gone through. It became like this. But it doesn’t affect me, I use it as a weapon!”
Inside the operation, Carol's broken body was being repaired. For areas that could not be repaired, the Imperial Organization also used the most advanced mechanical prosthetics to replace them. For example, her eyeballs were replaced by mechanical eyes, and her broken arm was also installed with a mechanical arm of the same type as the Winter Soldier.
"what do you mean……"
"Can we fix her brain?" Nick Fury asked a seemingly unrelated question.
"Maybe...I can't tell." Newt Gisele said in embarrassment: "We have never seen this situation. Logically speaking, her brain should have been blown to pieces, but the energy in her body But it has protected most of the brain tissue and even maintained a certain degree of activity. This situation is simply impossible to happen to people on Earth, and we have no other examples for comparison. Now we are repairing their brains, but No one knows what it will look like after it is repaired.”
Carol's body is indeed extremely valuable. This woman's body is completely out of the human category.
However, Nick Fury is not surprised by this.
SHIELD has retained a Kree corpse. Although the Kree is dead, in a sense he is still alive, and his cell activity far exceeds that of Earthlings. SHIELD scientists also extracted gh325 from his cells. This substance can regenerate human cells, thereby resurrecting people!
Carol has Cree DNA.
But the brain is so mysterious, anything can happen to it.
"Then erase all her memories and use our technology to control her! Let her become our weapon! In this way, it will be worthy of my expectations for her - let her become the most powerful trump card on earth!" Nick. Fury looked at Newt Gisele and continued: "Besides, haven't you been worrying about the driving energy of the Mechanical Titan? What do you think of her?"
Newt Gisele looked at Nick Fury with wide eyes!
For the first time, he felt that their director's big head was not limited to those conspiracies. This idea... is really genius!
Newt Gisele immediately thought of the energy that had exploded from Carol!
What's even more amazing is that this woman can absorb and control energy in any form. She can focus this energy on other abilities, such as her photon energy, a powerful light explosion ignited from her fingertips, which radiates energy in all directions. She is also able to surround herself with an energy field to dodge most attacks, and absorb the gravity of her surroundings to increase her strength, as well as her ability to absorb all forms of energy has been shown to increase energy emission.
She is a super energy source that can absorb external energy all the time and then use it!
And it is safe, pollution-free, low maintenance cost, and sufficient!
With all kinds of benefits, it can be said to be the perfect source of energy!
"Can it be done?" Nick Fury asked.
"It's completely feasible! We can even make her the control system of the Mechanical Titan! Well, the only trouble now is how to solve the problem of controlling her. I must study this with other colleagues..."
Newt Gisele immediately fell into a scientific research frenzy, and he began to think about various solutions.
"That's good." Nick Fury did not disturb Newt Gisele, but looked at Carol who was undergoing repair surgery.
He braced himself mentally, knowing that this was his last chance!
if……
No!
It will definitely succeed!
Nick Fury himself didn't know it, but his mentality seemed to have changed under repeated blows.
From protecting the earth to proving yourself, proving that only you can protect the earth!
Looks about the same.
But in fact, the contents inside are completely different!
