Chapter 128 So, who else can’t lift Thor’s hammer?
"Be the mayor?"
Norman was stunned.
He really didn't expect Bant to ask this question.
But when he thought about it carefully, he was really tempted.
On the one hand, he had worked hard to develop Osborne to its current level, and it would be difficult for him to continue to develop it.
He was a man who had climbed to the top of the business world, and now, with the help of Bant and Primus, it was much easier than he had imagined for him to get back on his feet.
But he has not yet experienced a career in politics.
In fact, Bant originally wanted to try to be the commander-in-chief of the earth like Ben.
But later he felt it was too much trouble.
But he changed his mind and thought that if he couldn't become the ruler of the Earth, he could definitely become the mayor of New York. He himself was not interested, but he knew that Norman Osborn would definitely be interested.
In Marvel comics, many people have served as mayor of New York City.
For example, Kingpin, Daredevil...
If these two guys can be mayors, then Norman Osborn can be too. Not only can he be mayor, he can even be president!
It just so happens that both Osborne Group and Primus Technology can support him in taking office.
Norman Osborn was able to make so many sacrifices for Primus. From this point of view alone, Bant has already regarded him as his own.
Moreover, this will also bring great benefits to the future development of the two companies.
However, the two did not say much about this matter. Just a glance was enough to understand each other's meaning.
At this moment, the war outside has come to an end.
The moment Natasha activated the signal blocking device, everything was settled.
As for Ivan Vanko, it would be ridiculous if Tony couldn't deal with him.
Therefore, Bant didn't even stay until the end, and left the fair early with Mary Jane and Felicia to go to the movies.
When they walked out of the cinema, the farce of the attack on the expo had come to an end. Justin Hammer was in prison, and the evidence was overwhelming, with no possibility of recovery.
Tony called him, but the call was intercepted by Eunice.
In desperation, he could only leave a message.
Judging from his tone, he was very angry about being rejected by Bant, but overall, Tony was in a good mood and said that he had already talked to Pepper and would help Primus acquire Hammer Technology.
But there's no need to worry about these.
Norman took charge of all these things.
In Bant's opinion, this old guy quite likes the feeling of power struggle.
Compared to such a peaceful Bant, the impact of this attack was enormous.
Not to mention those secular companies, the US military made a huge joke because of this.
A huge amount of money was spent to have weapons giants like Hammer Industries manufacture the armor. At that time, that guy vowed that there would be absolutely no problem, but what was the result?
Hammer Industries does not have any armor technology at all. The arrest of Ivan Vanko is enough to prove that the robots of Hammer Industries are just empty shells.
After all, they still rely on the energy of the Ark to move.
But even so, when it moves it's just a big piece of garbage.
One family is happy while another is sad. The military is in trouble, but SHIELD is smiling.
When Nick Fury heard the news that military spending was going to be cut, he became a little more energetic, as if the psychological trauma he suffered after returning from Primus had been healed, and he became happy again.
"In fact, the military did not gain nothing. At least they recovered several hundred tons of scrap metal. I heard the captain say that those machines are not as powerful as tanks."
Nick Fury, feeling that life is good again, said as he played Tank Battle on the mothership.
At this time, Natasha added: "All the scrap metal was bought back by Primus at a price corresponding to the price of a tank."
"So high?" Nick was surprised.
Then Natasha added: "The recycling price of scrapped tanks from World War II."
"That's okay."
Nick leaned back, happy enough to want to rap.
But to be honest, the only thing the military gained from this incident was probably a Mark 3.
But that thing could almost be said to be something Tony left specifically for Rhodes.
Rather than giving it to the military, it would be more accurate to say that it was given to Rhodes.
As long as this war machine exists, the military will be unable to do anything to Rhodes. Of course, there is nothing that can be done about the armor's technology being studied.
Fortunately, Tony developed the armor faster than Apple released a new phone. By the time the military had spent more than ten years to master the Mark III, he had even developed a nano armor suit and a time machine, so he no longer cared about the copyright.
This also shows that the military's development status is not good.
In terms of funding, the military has far more funding than SHIELD.
However, few of those big-time soldiers are capable of conducting scientific research, and most of them end up spending the money on other companies. However, those companies are more unreliable than each other.
Not to mention Hammer Industries, even the previous Osborn made very slow progress in human enhancers. He finally came up with a lizard serum, but it had side effects and almost turned the whole of New York into prehistoric times.
"In the 21st century, talent is the most important thing." Nick Fury sighed, and felt that his Avengers plan was correct. The only pity is that so far, there are only a handful of Avengers members.
The candidates currently on the shortlist are: Bant, Tony and two Spider-Men.
Up to this point, Nick Fury still doesn't know Spider-Man's true identity.
Tony knew Peter's identity because after meeting the Flash Star, Tony was a little too sensitive to the information about the Dinobots.
At that time, he discovered Spider-Man who appeared on the Williamsburg Bridge, so he investigated his identity.
After that, especially after Bant used Jarvis's underlying code to develop Eunice, strict control was exercised over Peter's identity.
"That kid is pretty good."
When Captain America heard Nick talking about Spider-Man, he immediately thought of the young man he met at the exhibition: "He is very powerful, and his abilities in all aspects are better than mine. More importantly, he respects the elderly."
The last sentence is just a joke, but it also represents Captain America's affirmation of Spider-Man.
"I doubt he could even lift Thor's hammer," he said.
"Is it true?" Nick raised his eyebrows.
"If he can lift it, then who can't lift a hammer?"
No one answered, but everyone had the same answer in their mind.
After a few seconds of silence, Coulson asked:
"Speaking of Thor..."
"I didn't say Thor."
Nick joked, "Coulson, you're done, you're disrespectful to God."
"I don't think throwing him into the construction site and asking him to move cement is a sign of respect to God, boss?" Coulson said helplessly.
That's right.
After staying on Earth, Thor did not live the life of . with free food and accommodation. In order to save money, Nick would never allow a guy who had a big appetite and liked to smash plates to enter . and get free food and drinks.
So, in the name of a test from God, Nick Fury drifted and dropped Thor off at a construction site and asked him to go to work.
"He is strong and can earn in one day what others earn in three days. Isn't he a natural bricklayer? Besides, it's already very good. When I was a kid, I picked cotton but didn't get paid." Nick said.
In response, everyone rolled their eyes at him.
Then Nick mentioned Tony again.
"Is the kid okay?"
Since Ivan Vanko was arrested, in order to improve his favor, Nick told him about Howard's past, including the history of Howard and Ivan Vanko's father jointly developing the reactor.
In a sense, it is not wrong for Vanke to call him a thief.
Natasha shrugged. "He doesn't care. He told Vanke, 'Only a fool would stop at past achievements. You're still dwelling on this while someone else has discovered a whole new element that completely changes the reactor equation.'"
"It seems that this incident has not hit him as hard as Bant Parker's new element." Nick said, and then a regretful expression appeared on his face. "Tell me, why is he unwilling to cooperate with us?"
After a while, he seemed to remember something, stood up suddenly, and pinched his chin:
"Wait, Bant Parker...Parker?"
Half a month later.
Bant sat with his legs crossed on the top floor of the former Hammer Industries Building, now the Primus Technologies Building, overlooking the short houses in Queens.
The feeling of standing at the top is amazing, as if everything is under his control.
He is the ruler of this world!
"Sir, in addition to this building, a total of ninety Iron Soldiers have been recovered." Eunice counted.
Because Bant had tampered with those machines, everyone thought that the machines produced by Hammer were almost useless scrap metal.
When the military heard that Primus was willing to spend money to recycle it, they were so happy that their teeth burst into smiles.
Without hesitation, he packed up all the debris and sent it to Bant, as if he was afraid that he would go back on his word.
But in fact, no matter how weak Hammer's steel warriors are, they are not worse than old-fashioned tanks and planes.
It's just that Bant did something to them, limiting the rotation speed of the reactor cores of these machines.
In addition to these, there are also hundreds of production lines that originally belonged to Hammer Industries and now belong to Primus.
Connors was also happy.
Because from today on, he no longer has to squeeze in a small cubicle and watch the few small reptiles crawling around in the glass cover.
Now Bant has specially opened up two floors of space for him to cultivate mutant animals and do research.
You know, this kind of treatment was something he couldn't even imagine when he was in Osborne before.
But when Bant saw Connors' worthless look, he couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Where are we now?
I’ll buy a few islands and create a Jurassic Park later.
"But I remember that dinosaurs seemed to have existed in the Marvel world?" Bant was not sure.
The only thing he was sure of was the start date of school.
After going through so much, school is finally about to reopen.
