Weapons are definitely a part of one's strength!
Tony Stark nodded inwardly, the playboy couldn't agree more.
After all, wasn't his Iron Man armor essentially a weapon?
Captain America's shield, wasn't that also a weapon?
Weapons are definitely a part of one's strength.
Regardless of what that silver little baton Zhou Cheng used actually was, the fact that he possessed it proved his ability, right?
And besides that silver baton...
During that battle, the pair of wings on Zhou Cheng's back also caught Tony Stark's intense attention.
However, what those wings were all about, the playboy was a little unsure of.
If he hadn't obtained the diary, Tony Stark would definitely have guessed it was some sort of high-tech product. But now?
Tony Stark already knew that magic, witchcraft, and all sorts of supernatural powers existed in the world.
The more he knew, the harder it was to judge.
But one thing was for sure: Zhou Cheng was definitely extraordinary.
"Black Widow?"
"She can bring Hulk back to normal?"
Tony Stark's face couldn't help but show a look of surprise.
The playboy knew who Black Widow was, and the two had a pleasant undercover and cooperative experience, so Tony Stark was quite familiar with her.
And because of this, Tony Stark felt a little surprised.
That hot-bodied, incredibly beautiful agent, also had this ability?
How did she do it?
It seemed that the beautiful agent indeed had some skills. No wonder she and Barton, as ordinary humans with no superpowers, had joined the Avengers, a team composed of extraordinary individuals.
"Natasha?"
Nick Fury's mind immediately stirred as he read the diary. A glint flashed in his one good eye.
Ever since he'd conceived the idea of incorporating the Hulk into the Avengers, the Director had been agonizing over the issue of controlling him.
If this problem wasn't solved, the idea of Bruce Banner joining the Avengers would be a joke.
And as for how to solve this problem, the Director had no clue, feeling completely lost, in fact.
Didn't General Ross spend so much money, and after all that effort, still get nowhere?
This wasn't an easy task to begin with.
Until now, Nick Fury finally saw a glimmer of hope.
Natasha!
He hadn't expected his capable subordinate to be so effective, finding a way to control the Hulk.
If that was the case, wouldn't S.H.I.E.L.D. effectively have a trump card?
So, was this the reason why Bruce Banner ultimately joined the Avengers?
Fury immediately made a decision.
After this round of spoilers concluded, he would assign Natasha the task of controlling the Hulk!
And besides that.
Up to this point, Nick Fury finally knew the definite list of the "Original Avengers":
Besides Iron Man, Thor, and Captain America – the "Big Three" – there were Hawkeye Barton and Black Widow.
The Hulk was highly likely, but not a sure thing.
The overall concept aligned perfectly with Nick Fury's plan, so there was naturally no problem with that, and Fury didn't overthink it.
His attention was quickly drawn to another word.
50/50?
What does that mean?
Literally, it's not hard to understand. Fifty percent versus fifty percent, meaning both sides are evenly matched.
But why would being evenly matched become famous?
And being evenly matched isn't something you can generalize, right? It depends on the opponent.
If you meet someone with similar strength, then naturally it's a 50/50 situation.
But if you meet someone stronger, then you can't win, right?
What's worth talking about there?
So Nick Fury was a little unsure. Did "50/50" here, from Satan, just mean evenly matched, or did it have a deeper meaning?
"I remember Captain America's strength being only a few tons, maybe ten tons at most."
"That kind of strength is certainly superhuman for ordinary people, but it's not enough in front of true extraordinaries."
"There's no need to mention monsters like Thor and Hulk; Captain America's strength isn't even comparable to Spider-Man's."
"Regardless, Spider-Man can pull a high-speed train with his bare hands, and stop a cruise ship with his bare hands!"
"But the strange thing is this."
"Captain America can fight anyone to a 50/50."
"In Captain America: The Winter Soldier, he took so long to beat a small soldier on the cruise ship, yet he could block Thor's hammer!"
"He could even block a hit from Thanos!"
"This is really confusing."
"Haha, what would happen if Captain America's 50/50 met Kakashi's 50/50?"
"Wouldn't those two just fight until the end of the world?"
Pulling a high-speed train with bare hands, stopping a cruise ship! Tony Stark couldn't help but be surprised. This kind of strength was just too astonishing, wasn't it?
A high-speed train, a cruise ship... what were those even about?
Could such things really be moved by a human body?
It seemed that Spider-Man's strength was quite formidable!
But thinking about it, if Spider-Man didn't have a certain level of strength, how would he have fought alongside him on Titan in the future?
It's just... so Captain America's 50/50 actually meant this?
Even though Captain America's strength reached the level of several tons, could he hold his own against enemies far weaker or far stronger than that?
That kind of thing was really strange, wasn't it?
If the diary said Captain America took a long time to beat a small soldier, it could be explained away by saying Captain America didn't want to use too much force, or was just playing around.
But someone with only a few tons of strength actually blocking a blow from Thanos? That really didn't make sense, did it? Even if it wasn't Thanos with the Infinity Stones, he was undoubtedly a cosmic overlord, a galactic big boss.
The idea that Captain America's strength was just that level was really a bit ridiculous, wasn't it?
And Thor was the same.
The diary mentioned Thor's awesomeness many times.
He was a tough guy who could withstand the energy of a neutron star with his body, and almost chopped Thanos with all the Infinity Stones in half with an axe!
Captain America could actually block a blow from someone like that?
That clearly didn't match the reality of Captain America's few tons of strength.
Could it be because Captain America possessed the "Power of Thor?"
The diary mentioned that Captain America could transform into Thor.
Even after becoming Thor, Captain America could beat Thanos into a daze!
This showed that Captain America was definitely not as simple as he seemed, and most likely concealed a huge potential within him.
It was fine to fight those weaker than himself, but when he encountered enemies stronger than himself, the potential hidden within him would slowly be forced out?
So he could fight those enemies, who were obviously several levels higher than Captain America, to a 50/50?
So, could it be like this?
Tony Stark, after much thought, could only come up with such a relatively reasonable explanation.
But whether it was really like this, the playboy couldn't be sure.
The specific truth, I suppose, only Zhou Cheng knows.
"Kakashi?"
"Who's that?"
However, when Tony Stark saw the name, he fell into thought.
This was a brand new name, one that had never appeared in the diary before.
It immediately caught the playboy's attention.
Judging by the name, this "Kakashi" was from the Sakura Country, and like Captain America, he was also "50/50".
Although the playboy didn't know the specifics of Kakashi's 50/50.
If it's truly as the diary describes, what would happen if two 50/50s clashed in a major battle?
Would they just keep getting stronger and stronger as they fought?
Would a fight that began with just a few tons of power escalate into a battle between two cosmic overlords?
Shivers!
How terrifying!
Tony Stark didn't even want to consider it.
I wonder if the other, black Captain America has this 50/50 attribute.
But I guess not.
There are so many Captain Americas in Marvel. Only Rogers, this Captain America, should have this ability.
That black Captain America... well, he was a super soldier, just like Rogers, and he even fought in the Korean War.
He even defeated the Winter Soldier at one point.
But because he was black, his existence was kept secret from beginning to end. Even after his service, he was secretly captured and used as a lab rat for thirty years.
[It's really too tragic!]
"Black Captain America?"
Tony Stark was still extremely surprised by this latest spoiler.
All along, "Captain America" had become a symbol.
An idol worshipped by all Americans.
Whether it was a playboy or anyone else, they all naturally believed that there was only one Captain America.
That was Steve Rogers!
When Captain America was mentioned, everyone's minds would subconsciously conjure up Steve Rogers' strong, sunny face.
To put it bluntly, Captain America is Steve Rogers!
Even if the diary had previously spoiled that there would be a second Captain America in the future, that was clearly something that would happen after Steve Rogers "retired."
But now the diary says that, besides Steve Rogers, there's another Captain America who exists at the same time!
Since this Black Captain America made outstanding contributions during the Korean War, it's clear that he was from the same era as Steve Rogers.
In other words.
There have been two Captain Americas since Captain America "became famous"!
The only difference is that the public only knows Steve Rogers, the national hero, but knows nothing about the other Black Captain America! Not only that.
The government secretly imprisoned that Black Captain America for thirty years, using him as a guinea pig for experiments!
"Those inhumane bastards!"
The playboy was a bit pissed, even muttering a curse under his breath.
Considering the historical context, Tony Stark actually understood why the Black Captain America hadn't been made public, but rather kept secret.
After all, that era truly didn't allow a Black man to be Captain America.
Not even to mention that era; even in the present day, the possibility of a Black man becoming Captain America was slim.
But to secretly experiment on someone for thirty years... that was truly heartless! Those politicians were truly devoid of humanity.
In an instant, Tony Stark felt a deep sense of sympathy for this Black Captain America.
He just didn't know how that Black Captain America, who had been a lab rat for thirty years, was doing now.
"Another Captain America besides Rogers?"
Nick Fury frowned, unable to help himself.
As the head of the world's largest intelligence agency, he had never known about this!
But as a master spy, Nick Fury's concerns were naturally different from Tony Stark's.
The Black Captain America's tragic experience didn't faze him in the slightest. The bald-headed man was now consumed with how to find this Black Captain America.
How to recruit this Black Captain America!
This Black Captain America had once defeated the Winter Soldier, and the diary also mentioned the Winter Soldier's strength multiple times, proving that the other party's strength was not weaker than Captain America, or rather, not weaker than Rogers.
So, it seemed that this Black Captain America wasn't some "knockoff" or weakened version, like the second-generation Captain America.
He was a true Captain America!
How could the bald-headed man possibly miss such a person? [There's no need to say much about the second and third generation Captain Americas; they're completely ordinary people.]
[Although the second Captain America eventually secretly injected the super-soldier serum, becoming an extraordinary warrior like Captain America,]
[he was stripped of the title of Captain America as soon as he gained Captain America's power.]
[What about the third Captain America, Falcon? He was just an ordinary person from beginning to end, with the only advantage being his Falcon wings.]
[Perhaps he's the only Captain America who can fly, right?]
The second Captain America, isn't that John Walker?
Ever since this crucial information was leaked from the diary, Nick Fury had already been keeping a close eye on this person.
However, whether from the diary's leaks or Nick Fury's own investigations, this John Walker was just an ordinary soldier who was pretty outstanding in every aspect.
Nick Fury really didn't expect that this ordinary soldier would gain the super-soldier serum in the future!
He didn't care whether the other party had injected it secretly; what he cared about was that the super-soldier serum still existed?
Had the original serum not been completely destroyed, and had it survived until now, or had someone successfully replicated the serum again?
