Chapter 546 The Position
"Superhero Registration Act?"
Hearing the message from his friend James, Tony couldn't help raising his eyebrows.
Tony has always heard about the idea of the American government wanting to formulate a bill related to superheroes, but he originally thought that the promotion of this special bill would take a while to take shape.
"The assistant who promoted the bill this time seems to be inside the US military. The incident in Canada has made the military feel tremendous pressure."
A complete aircraft carrier battle group plus the loss of troops can already be said to be the greatest loss suffered by the United States since World War II.
During this period of time, because of the large number of soldiers who died in the line of duty, the American military has been under tremendous pressure, and of course the one in the White House is the same.Such a huge defeat and loss occurred during his second term, even if the location of the war was not the mainland of the United States, and the target of the battle was not a country, but a huge monster.
However, the people of the United States will not care about some.
Since this period of time, frequent media reports have put tremendous pressure on the White House. According to NBC's survey, the president's own polls have also dropped by more than five percentage points.
Although, now that the black president has been successfully re-elected, there is no need to worry about the next election.
But something has to be done if he wants the next presidential candidate put forward by his own Democratic Party to stay in power.
Originally, the commander of this military operation, General Ross, was a good choice.
However, the internal attitude of the US military suddenly took a 180-degree turn, from abandoning it to supporting Ross, which caused a series of follow-up measures originally prepared by the White House to lose their targets.Just when the White House was annoyed by this, the military suddenly proposed another object-superheroes.
It is not only the American military that is involved in the Canadian incident, but also superheroes.
Although the superheroes, mainly the Avengers, played a decisive role in the whole incident, many things in this world are often like this, especially after the various power games in the United States, superheroes have obviously become This time the lamb to the slaughter.
The 'Superhero Registration Act' was born.
"It is really in line with the consistent style of the American government."
As a former arms supplier, Tony is no stranger to a series of operations by the US government.
However, originally he was on the side of gaining benefits, but now he has become one of the targets targeted by the government.
"You need to bring it up, Tony."
There is deep worry in James' voice, as "War Machine" James is also one of the targets of the "Superhero Registration Act" promoted by the United States.
However, as a colonel serving in the U.S. military, his identity as a "war machine" is an open secret, and he is even one of the targets of the U.S. military's propaganda. The promotion of the "Superhero Registration Act" has little impact on him.
However, James is very clear that there are only a few superheroes who have disclosed their identities like this.
The reason why most superheroes wear masks is to hide their real identities and protect themselves as well as their families.
The emergence of the 'Superhero Registration Act' has undoubtedly pushed these hidden superheroes to the forefront.
James has a hunch that a fierce protest may result from this.
"I understand."
What James is worried about, Tony has also thought of it.
Even, he thinks deeper than James. If the 'Superhero Registration Act' really comes out, there may be a situation of close combat within the Avengers.Not everyone can accept that their identity information is controlled by the government, from a superhero to a law enforcement officer of the American government.
"..."
Anticipating a series of problems that may arise from the promotion of the 'Superhero Registration Act', Tony's distracted thoughts about the formation of the Illuminati refocused.
He felt the need to discuss this issue with the Avengers, although he knew that such a topic would definitely spark a huge debate among the Avengers.
……
"Sorry, Stephen, I have read all the information and literature you have provided, but this will not work at all. You may not understand the extent of your injury. I don't think even the best doctor in the world can heal your injury. ..."
In the room, a man with a serious expression on the tablet said in a regretful tone.
In front of the computer, a man named Stephen Strange was holding the pen holder with his trembling fingers, constantly writing something on the paper.
"Listen, friend, I think..."
Opening the mouth interrupted the conversation in the video. Stephen Strange looked at the man in the video and said in a slightly begging voice,
"No, I'm sorry, Stephen, but I have to think about my reputation. I can't help you with this matter. I'm sorry. Good luck."
After speaking, without waiting for any reaction from Stephen Strange, the man on the other side of the video directly ended the video call between the two.
"..."
The extinguished call in the video was like extinguishing the last hope in Stephen Strange's heart.
Looking at the blackened screen in front of him and the crooked handwriting on the paper beside him, Stephen Strange finally couldn't control the emotions he had been suppressing in his heart, and angrily pushed down everything on the table.
Stephen Strange, originally a successful neurosurgery expert, was hailed as God's gift to the surgical community by virtue of his superb medical skills. However, an unexpected car accident took away everything. Although he survived by chance after the car accident, he could no longer pick up the scalpel because of comminuted fractures in his hands.
Such a result was undoubtedly a huge blow to Stephen Strange.
Losing his proud hands, his life has completely lost hope.
In order to be able to seek treatment for the injuries in his hands, he used all means, but the results were not satisfactory.
The repeated failures not only consumed his little savings, but also pushed his emotions to the limit. Not long ago, he had a falling out with his girlfriend, Christine Palmer, who is also a surgeon. People are also on the verge of limit.
He didn't know how long he could last.
"By the way, that case!"
If it is said that the only thing that supported Stephen Strange to continue to persevere in the desperate situation, it was only a special case he heard in the rehabilitation center.
According to the staff of the rehabilitation center, a patient who was once injured in a work-related accident, paralyzed one leg and sat in a wheelchair was able to walk like a normal person after a few years.
It was precisely because of the existence of this case that Stephen Strange did not give up hope and continued with his illusory possibility.
……
"I object!"
Avengers Building, in the face of the information about the 'Superhero Registration Act' brought back by Tony, Captain America Steve unsurprisingly expressed his opposition.
With a conspicuous beard, although the whole person has not completely recovered from Peggy's death, after this period of adjustment, and the information that his friend Bucky is still alive, Steve has at least recovered a little. What it's like to be Captain America.
"Not surprisingly."
Facing Steve's clear opposition, Tony didn't have much surprise on his face.
"On this point, my position is close to that of the captain."
Reaching out and pushing the glasses on his face, Banner scanned the surrounding Avengers, and then moved a little closer to where Steve was.
As Banner who once participated in the American military experiment, if there is no Hulk, he doesn't have much feeling for the 'Superhero Registration Act', but the existence of Hulk makes it impossible for him to have any cooperation with the United States Even if he himself is willing, everything becomes unquestionable once Hulk comes out.
What's more, Banner did not forget the existence of General Ross.
As long as this man is in the U.S. military for one day, there will be no possibility of reconciliation between him and the U.S. government.
"I support the captain."
Although, as a former American Air Force pilot, Falcon is not too opposed to the existence of the 'Superhero Act', but since Steve has already opposed it, he naturally expressed his support for Captain America.
"..."
In the Avengers Building, except for the three people who had a clear stand, the attitudes of the rest of the Avengers became somewhat blurred.
Sitting aside, Sol looked at what was happening right now with a nonchalant expression.
For him, the "Superhero Registration Act" is something created by the Atrium people, and has nothing to do with him, an Asgardian warrior.
On the other side, Jack Simon was smoking a cigarette, watching everything that happened in the Avengers Building with an expression of interest.
As for the rest, Natasha and the others, to be honest, the existence of the "Superhero Act" has little impression on them, former members of S.H.I.E.L.D. After all, most of them have information long before SHIELD and Nine It has already been exposed on the Internet once in the downfall of the head snake.
Not to mention, they were originally members of S.H.I.E.L.D., and they had a certain degree of cooperation with the American government.
Frowning tightly, the emergence of the 'Superhero Registration Act' apparently made Nick Fury aware of a sign of a storm.
Looking across the crowd in the Avengers Building, they finally stopped at Tony who brought back the news. Nick Fury asked in a silent voice: "So, Tony, what is your position on the 'Superhero Registration Act'?" ?”
"I, of course I object as much as the captain."
Under the gaze of Nick Fury, Tony gave a somewhat unexpected answer.
As Tony, who once publicly disclosed his identity as Iron Man in front of many media, unexpectedly expressed his opposition to the 'Superhero Registration Act'.
Of course, Tony's reason for opposing the 'Superhero Registration Act' is very simple, because he knows that if this bill is really passed, the results you will bring will definitely not be as the American government thinks, and all superheroes will obediently obey Opponents are likely to embark on the road of resistance and become criminals in another sense if they are ordered to register their identities.
"Of course, I also know that once the 'Superhero Registration Act' is passed, no matter how much we oppose everything, it will not help. Fortunately, judging from what I have obtained so far, because the term of office is about to end, Even if the person in the White House wants to promote the establishment of the 'Superhero Registration Act', there will be huge obstacles in Congress. The opposition party will not allow such a favorable weapon to be held by the ruling party. Next, we will pray for the next president I can communicate better…”
……
"Jonathan Pangborn..."
According to the information he got, he came to a street court. Stephen Strange looked at the figure moving freely in the court, recalled everything he saw in the case, and the hope that had been extinguished in his heart reappeared. , shouted in a slightly excited voice.
"...The spinal cord at the seven and eighth sections of the neck is completely damaged, and the entire body is paralyzed from the chest down, and the hands should also be paralyzed. Logically speaking, it is impossible to recover from your situation."
"who are you?"
In the stadium, Jonathan Pangborn couldn't help but frowned when he heard Stephen Strange announce his past injuries on his own, with an obvious displeased expression on his face.
"Stephen Strange, neurosurgeon, was a neurosurgeon, I want to talk to you."
Facing Jonathan Pangborn's questioning, Stephen Strange tried hard to control his inner emotions, opened his mouth tremblingly and replied.
He had seen the case of Jonathan Pangborn. In that paralyzed state, there was no possibility of recovery. However, the Jonathan Pangborn in front of him not only recovered, but was even able to play basketball like a normal person.
Therefore, the moment he saw Jonathan Pangborn, Stephen Strange understood that this was the miracle he had been looking for.
"I remembered, you, Stephen Strange, I really know you, I have been to your office, but you are not even willing to see me."
Hearing Stephen Strange's introduction, Jonathan Pangborn frowned, but remembered who this guy was.
"I can't save you at all."
As a former neurosurgery expert, Stephen Strange is not a noble existence. On the contrary, in order to maintain his surgical success rate, he has rejected many surgical invitations, just like the doctor in the previous video call did.
