Marvel: Spider-Man? No, I'm Superman!

The red glowing eyes coldly gazed at everyone. An intense invisible pressure nearly suffocated them. At this moment, it was as if everyone was being watched by the eyes of a god.

"It seems we have no choice but to accept our fate of being kidnapped."

Looking around the narrow, cold, and damp ice cave, everyone present had already forced themselves to accept the fact that they had been kidnapped.

After all, the one who kidnapped them at this moment was Superman, who was able to fly freely and had lasers emitting from his eyes.

"Mr. Superhuman, we can accept your demands in exchange for our lives."

Facing Peter's intimidating gaze, Tony slowly spoke.

"But you won't make us complete your nearly impossible demands in this crude environment without even basic experimental facilities, right?"

From Tony's perspective, they might as well take this opportunity to ask for better conditions, since they had no choice but to accept their current predicament.

For example, making their future living quarters more comfortable.

"Well...What you said makes sense. This place does need some renovation."

Glancing around the narrow ice cave, Peter also felt it was not suitable for the scientists to conduct experiments here.

In the next moment, his figure instantly appeared in front of the rock wall. Clenching his right fist, he fiercely punched the wall.

Boom!

Terrifying power erupted instantaneously. The tremendous impact made the entire icy peak tremble.

Feeling the quaking mountain under their feet, everyone could no longer remain calm.

"This place won't collapse, right?"

"It... shouldn't...?"

Even Tony was filled with doubts about whether this mountain peak was sturdy enough.

Boom...Zi...

Under everyone's worried gaze, after just a few minutes, Peter had quickly opened up a larger area next door using his fists, heat vision, and freeze breath alternately.

"This guy is just too violent."

With every punch Peter threw, Tony could feel the over thousand tons of immense strength contained within. If a punch like that hit him, he wouldn't even have time to make a sound...

"Hm, if he came to Wakanda to mine, he would definitely be a great help."

Shuri, the youngest person present, suddenly opened her mouth and uttered a sentence that attracted everyone's attention.

"Not surprising, coming from someone raised in a backward and impoverished African tribe."

Gazing at the somewhat naive young girl, everyone's eyes were filled with sympathy.

...

The uneasy night quickly passed.

And as the morning sun rose, marking the start of a new day.

Washington, S.H.I.E.L.D. Headquarters Building, in the Director's office.

"So apart from Tony Stark, within just one night, over a dozen top scientists from around the world mysteriously vanished without a trace?"

"And they disappeared without making a sound. Not only were there no clues captured on surveillance, but even their wives sleeping beside them didn't notice anything?"

Nick Fury slammed the documents in his hand heavily onto the table. His voice was low as he asked.

"Although this is unbelievable, according to our agents' reports, that is indeed the case."

Although there was no visible expression on Fury's face, Agent Hill could feel that he must have been very unsettled internally.

"First a guy calling himself Superman shows up in New York."

"And now, in just one night, including Tony Stark, over a dozen top scientists worldwide have disappeared without a trace."

"What on earth is going on with this world?"

The series of major incidents caused Fury to wonder if he had crossed over into a parallel world.

"We can put that Superman issue aside for now."

"But what kind of massive organization would it take to pull off something so inconceivable?"

The contemplative Nick Fury couldn't help but suspect that there was a huge organization that had secretly planned this.

"Could it be... No, impossible. That organization was already completely destroyed by us last century."

In Fury's mind, apart from the Hydra which had already been thoroughly crushed by them last century, probably no other organization could pull this off so stealthily.

"Director, there is actually one more special piece of information not recorded in the documents just now."

Looking at Nick Fury, who was in deep thought, Agent Hill suddenly spoke up and interrupted his contemplation.

"What information?"

Fury raised his head, somewhat curious as he asked.

"According to one of our insiders planted in the CIA, when they were searching Tony Stark's villa, Tony Stark's secretary mentioned a speculation."

"What speculation?"

Nick Fury asked with great interest.

"She said, it's possible that it was that recently emerged Superman who kidnapped Tony Stark."

"Superman kidnapped Tony Stark? For what? For money?"

After hearing Hill's news, Fury fell into contemplation again, considering if there was such a possibility.

"From my investigation, I know that the military and Stark Industries signed two cooperation agreements yesterday."

"One was regarding the military's recent experimental accident, while the other was related to this Superman who just popped up."

Hill continued recounting her investigative findings.

"The military again. They haven't even resolved the mess they made last time, yet they're sticking their hands into the Superman issue again!"

When it came to the military, even the usually composed Fury didn't look too happy.

"If that's the case, then it really could be possible that Superman kidnapped Tony Stark."

Taking into account this information, Fury felt the probability of Superman kidnapping Tony Stark had risen to at least one-third.

After all, even thinking with his butt, he could guess what kind of agreement the military had reached with Stark Industries.

It was nothing more than Stark Industries, as a weapon manufacturer, being tasked to produce special weapons that could threaten and even completely eliminate Superman.

If Superman got wind of this deal, then he would have sufficient motive to kidnap Tony Stark.

"Since that's the case, let's focus our efforts on investigating Superman's real identity. However, regarding those missing scientists, we must also do our utmost to search for them."

"Who knows what kind of chaos it could lead to if they fall into the hands of some crazy criminals."

Fury would never underestimate the role of every scientist.

Who knew if they might suddenly develop some black tech like the "Super Soldier Serum" from last century?

"But Director, if it really is Superman, I'm afraid we won't be able to investigate him..."

Just as Hill was about to voice her concerns,

Buzz Buzz Buzz...

Her phone started vibrating.

"Just take it here. I want to hear if another major incident has occurred."

Fury stopped Hill who was about to leave the office to answer the call.

"Hello, this is Hill... What? Say that again!"

"Alright, I understand. I'll report to the Director right away."

"What other big incident happened again?"

Fury really wanted to give his big mouth a couple of knocks. Speaking of the devil...

"Director, one of our secret experimental facilities was robbed."
