Heroes of Marvel - Chapter 489: PRESSURE
“Am I just the Iron Man or am I still Tony Stark?” Sitting on the sofa, Tony raised his head and looked at Lin Rui and asked seriously.
The reason Tony thinks so is also because of Killian’s attack on him today which had a greater impact on him. Before that, Tony had never encountered any danger or difficulties because of the strength of his Iron Man Armor.
After all, the Iron Man Armor can already be regarded as the top weapon in the world. However, what happened just now made Tony clearly realize that if he had no Iron Man Armor then he is a very fragile ordinary person, and anyone can destroy him at any time they want.
In the original plot, Tony also developed a mental illness because he relied too much on the Iron Man Armor and he would fall into a very delicate state of a panic attack when he lost the Iron Man Armor.
Moreover, the shrapnels inside Tony’s chest have not been taken out because they are too close to his heart. This will continue to put some pressure on Tony. Therefore, after today’s scene where his Iron Man Armor was controlled by the enemy, Tony’s backlog of emotions suddenly broke out.
Tony didn’t think about it too much because of the excitement after the fight. But now that the Live Broadcast is over, the feeling in Tony’s heart completely broke out.
“Huh?” Lin Rui, who had thought Tony didn’t immediately counterattack because he didn’t care about Killian, suddenly looked serious when he heard Tony’s words.
Phoo~
“Tony, why do you think that?” Lin Rui asked softly while he squatted down in front of Tony. At this time, Lin Rui had also noticed the change in Tony’s psychology.
“Why do I think like that? Tony Stark is just an ordinary person and without the Iron Man Armor, he can’t even guarantee his own safety. Actually, I may not be able to bear the title of Iron Man at all.” Tony answered the young man in front of him seriously.
“Mr. Stark, that’s not the case! You are the Iron Man! And the Iron Man is you!” Hearing Tony’s words, Peter said excitedly from the side. As a person who admires Tony very much, Peter would not think that other people wearing the Iron Man Armor are Iron Man. There is only one Iron Man, and that is Tony Stark.
“Peter, I am Iron Man, but the Iron Man may not necessarily be me,” Tony said with a smile on his face when he heard what Peter had said.
“Mr. Stark, Peter is right. Iron Man is you, and there will only be you. What can other people represent even if they wear the Armor? Do we think that they are Iron Man? If it was not for Tony Stark then there would have been no Iron Man. The meaning of Iron Man is far more than a Steel Suit. Its meaning cannot be expressed by an Armor without emotion. Since the appearance of Iron Man, you have done so many things, these are your qualifications for the title of Iron Man!” Realizing that Tony is having some problems with his emotions, Lin Rui said with a serious look on his face.
It is true that many people can wear the Iron Man Armor but its significance does not lie in the Armor itself, but who wears it. Since Tony created the Iron Man Armor, he has been committed to fighting terrorists and saving innocent civilians.
There have been many times that Tony wore his Armor and went through many dangerous places. This Tony is what Iron Man looks like, and it is also the reason why Iron Man can become the most popular Superhero today.
Without Tony, the steel suit would be nothing more than an advanced piece of armor, which might become a weapon for the US military’s armed forces.
But because of Tony’s existence, he withstood the tremendous pressure from the US military, tightly pinching the ownership of the Iron Man Armor in his own hands, and he assumed the responsibility of protecting innocent civilians in the United States and the world.
Only such a person can be called Iron Man and Tony is such a person and it is far from what a steel suit can express.
“Really? But I can’t even protect myself if I don’t have the Armor.” Hearing Lin Rui’s words, Tony felt better, but he was still a little unconfident.
“Also, this thing in my chest. Although it looks good but I don’t want to wear it all the time. Without it, the shrapnel in my heart will soon kill me.” Tony pointed at the Miniature Arc Reactor on his chest as he spoke.
“Huh!? This, haven’t you been cured a long time ago? Wy can’t you get rid of this Arc Reactor?” After hearing Tony’s words, Lin Rui, who was already relaxed, suddenly became nervous again.
Lin Rui, who is not very familiar with the original plot, had forgotten this situation a long time ago. He thought that Tony had completely recovered after drinking the Elven Holy Spring Water he gave him.
In fact, the last Elven Holy Spring Water only allowed Tony to recover from Palladium Poisoning. As for the Shrapnel in Tony’s chest, the Elven Holy Spring Water did not have the power to make them disappear.
In these days, Tony is completely dependent on the Miniature Arc Reactor in his chest to sustain his life. Although in theory, as long as the Arc Reactor is always there, Tony will not be in danger but the Arc Reactor is also a time bomb and no one would be at ease while wearing it.
“The shrapnels in my chest have always been there, but because of the Arc Reactor, they will not move.” Seeing Lin Rui’s unexpected expression, Tony explained.
“Are there no doctor who can take it out?” Lin Rui asked with a frown upon hearing Tony’s explanation.
The general treatment of this kind of thing is really useless, whether it is the Gene Therapy Serum or the magic therapy item in Lin Rui’s hand, they would only allow the body to recover independently. But there is a foreign substance on Tony’s body and if he can’t get it out then it will be useless even if he is treated well.
“I have checked with a lot of doctors and they are not completely sure that they would be able to take out these shrapnels. And with Arc Reactor, they all suggested that I keep the status quo.” Seeing that Lin Rui is very concerned about his situation, Tony is no longer as depressed as before.
Moreover, Lin Rui and Peter were very supportive of Tony, and the negative thoughts in his heart slowly dissipated.
“Jackson, do you have a way to heal him?” Peter had been listening to their conversation, and when he heard this, he asked Lin Rui.
“… I’m not a doctor, so I can’t make a judgment.” Lin Rui shook his head when he heard Peter’s words.
“But, Tony, do you know someone called Stephen Strange?” Lin Rui first denied that he had no way but then a bright light flashed in his eyes and he looked at Tony and asked.
“Stephen Strange? Who is that? I seem to have heard of his name but I shouldn’t know him.” Tony replied after hearing the name suddenly popped out of Lin Rui’s mouth. Hearing the name Stephen Strange, Tony did feel that the name was a little familiar. He should have heard it somewhere, but he definitely didn’t know him.
“Sir, Stephen Strange is a very good Neurosurgeon. He is also the youngest genius doctor.” When Tony wondered who this Stephen Strange is, JARVIS answered in a timely manner.
“A Genius Neurosurgeon? Jackson, do you mean that this doctor can help me get the shrapnel out of my chest?” Tony’s eyes flashed and he asked Lin Rui after hearing the information from JARVIS.
But Tony’s problem was the shrapnels in his chest, not a nerve injury. He didn’t think a genius doctor in neurology could help him.
“How would you know if you don’t try? This Doctor Strange is very interested in some difficult diseases, and his medical skills are very good, maybe there is a way to help you.” Lin Rui does not know about the doctor who appeared later to perform an operation on Tony, but he knew Strange, who would become Doctor Strange in the future.
Dr. Stephen Strange was a very famous Genius Neurosurgeon before he became Dr. Strange, and he himself was very interested in all kinds of intractable diseases.
“Okay, I’ll go to him and try it out.” Seeing Lin Rui’s serious look, Tony nodded and said.
“Are you still worried about whether you can take on Iron Man’s responsibilities?” Seeing that Tony’s emotions were almost recovered, Lin Rui asked with a smile on his face.
“Worry? Why would I be upset, I’m Iron Man!” After Lin Rui and Peter’s encouragement and the expectation of a complete recovery, Tony has now put aside those negative ideas.
“Haha! I still got to see the weak side of Iron Man Tony Stark” Lin Rui laughed and joked when he saw Tony now.
“Now, let us fight back Killian!”
