Chapter 545 Position

"Superhero Registration Act?"

Hearing the message from his friend James, Tony couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Tony had always heard about the idea that the American government wanted to enact a bill related to superheroes, but he originally thought that the promotion of this special bill would take some time to take shape.

"The assistant who pushed the bill this time seems to be from within the U.S. military. The incident in Canada has put the military under tremendous pressure."

The loss of a complete aircraft carrier battle group plus troops can be said to be the greatest loss suffered by the United States since World War II.

During this period of time, the American military has been under tremendous pressure due to the large number of soldiers who have died in the line of duty, and of course the same is true for the person in the White House. Such a huge defeat occurred during his second term, even though the war was not taking place in the United States, and the target he was fighting was not a country, but a huge monster.

However, the people of the United States don't care.

Frequent media reports during this period 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 if he wants the next presidential candidate put forward by the Democratic Party behind him to remain in power, he must do something.

Originally, General Ross, the commander of this military operation, was a good choice.

However, the attitude within the U.S. military suddenly made a 180-degree turn, from abandoning it to supporting Ross, causing the series of follow-up supporting measures originally prepared by the White House to lose their goals. Just as the White House was annoyed about this, the military suddenly proposed another target-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 entire incident in the process, many things in this world are often like this, especially after the various power games within the United States, superheroes have obviously become The lamb to the slaughter in this incident.

The Superhero Registration Act was then conceived.

"It's 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 American government.

However, he was originally on the side of obtaining benefits, but now he has become one of the targets targeted by the government.

"You need to get ready, Tony."

James's voice was full of worry. As a 'war machine', James was 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" has always been 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 minimal impact.

However, James knows very well 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 and their families.

The emergence of the Superhero Registration Act has undoubtedly pushed these superheroes who hide their identities to the forefront.

James had a hunch that a fierce protest might result.

"I see."

Tony has also thought of what James is worried about.

He even thinks more deeply 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 their identity information being controlled by the government and transform from superheroes to law enforcers of the American government.

"..."

Anticipating a series of problems that might arise from the promotion of the Superhero Registration Act, Tony's thoughts that had been distracted by 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 controversy among the Avengers.

…

"Sorry, Stephen, I have read all the information and documents you provided, but this does not work at all. You may not understand the severity of your injury. I think even the best doctor in the world cannot treat you. …”

In the room, a serious-looking man on the tablet spoke with a regretful tone.

In front of the computer, a man named Stephen Strange was grabbing the penholder with his trembling fingers and kept writing something on the paper.

"Listen, friend, I think..."

The conversation in the video was interrupted. Stephen Strange looked at the man in the video and said in a slightly pleading voice,

"No, I'm sorry, Stephen, but I have to think about my reputation. I can't help you with this. I'm sorry, and I wish you good luck."

After saying that, without waiting for any reaction from Stephen Strange, the man on the other side of the video ended the video call between the two.

"..."

The extinguished call in the video was like extinguishing the last glimmer of 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 lost control of the emotions he had been suppressing, and angrily pushed everything on the table down.

Stephen Strange was originally a successful neurosurgery expert. With his superb medical skills, he was praised by the outside world as God's gift to the surgical field. However, an unexpected car accident took away everything. Although he survived the car accident, he could no longer pick up a scalpel due to comminuted fractures in his hands.

Such a result is undoubtedly a huge blow to Stephen Strange.

After losing his proud hands, he completely lost hope in his life.

In order to seek treatment for the injuries on his hands, he used all means, but the results were not satisfactory.

The repeated failures not only consumed his remaining 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 approaching their limits.

He didn't know how long he could hold on.

"By the way, that case!"

If the only thing that supported Stephen Strange in his desperate situation was a special case he heard in the rehabilitation center.

According to staff at the rehabilitation center, a patient who had suffered a back injury due to a work accident, paralyzed one leg and was completely disabled in a wheelchair, was able to walk and move 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 his illusory possibilities.

…

"I object!"

In Avengers Tower, facing the information Tony brought back about the Superhero Registration Act, Captain America Steve unsurprisingly expressed his opposition.

With a conspicuous beard, although he 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 Captain America should look like.

"Not surprisingly."

Faced with 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 to push up the glasses on his face, Banner glanced at the Avengers around him, and then moved closer to where Steve was.

As Banner who once participated in the U.S. military's experiments, he didn't have much feeling about the Superhero Registration Act without Hulk, but the existence of Hulk made it impossible for him to cooperate with the United States. The possibility, even if he himself is willing, everything will become beyond doubt once Hulk comes out.

What's more, Banner has not forgotten the existence of General Ross.

As long as this man is in the American military, there will be no possibility of reconciliation between him and the American government.

"I support the captain."

Although, as a former U.S. Army Air Force pilot, Falcon is not very opposed to the existence of the Superhero Act, but since Steve has already opposed it, he has naturally expressed his support for Captain America.

"..."

In the Avengers Tower, except for the three people who had a clear stance, the attitudes of the other Avengers members became somewhat vague.

Sitting aside, Thor watched everything happening now with a nonchalant expression.

For him, the 'Superhero Registration Act' is something created by the people in the Midgard and has nothing to do with him as an Asgardian warrior.

On the other side, Jack Simon was holding a cigarette and watching everything happening in Avengers Tower with an expression of interest.

As for the rest, Natasha and the others, to be honest, the existence of the "Superhero Act" has very little impression on them, former members of SHIELD. After all, most of them have intelligence that has already been obtained by SHIELD and Nine. It has already been exposed on the Internet once in the destruction of the head snake.

Not to mention, as members of S.H.I.E.L.D., they already have a certain degree of cooperation with the American government.

Frowning, the emergence of the Superhero Registration Act clearly made Nick Fury aware of a hint of trouble.

His eyes swept over everyone in Avengers Tower and finally landed on Tony who brought the news. Nick Fury asked in a silent voice: "So, Tony, what is your position on the Superhero Registration Act?" ?”

"I, of course, am as opposed to it as the captain is."

Under Nick Fury's gaze, Tony gave a somewhat unexpected answer.

As Tony, who has publicly revealed his identity as Iron Man in front of many media, unexpectedly expressed his opposition to the Superhero Registration Act.

Of course, the reason why Tony opposes 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 what the American government wants, and all superheroes will obey obediently. Opponents who are ordered to register their identities are likely to embark on the path of resistance and become criminals in another sense.

"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, from what I have seen so far, because the term is about to end, Even if the one in the White House wants to push for the establishment of the Superhero Registration Act, there will be huge obstacles within Congress. The opposition party will not allow such a powerful weapon to be in the hands of the ruling party. Next, we pray for the next president. Can communicate better..."

…

"Jonathan Pangborn..."

Following the information he had obtained, he came to a street court. Stephen Strange looked at the figures moving freely in the court. Thinking back to what he had seen on the cases, the hope that had been extinguished in his heart resurfaced. , shouted in a slightly excited voice.

"... The spinal cord in the seventh and eighth sections of the neck was completely damaged, and the entire body was paralyzed from the chest down, and both hands should have been paralyzed. Logically speaking, it is impossible for you to recover in a situation like yours."

"Who are you?"

In the stadium, when he heard Stephen Strange announcing his past injuries, Jonathan Pangborn couldn't help but frowned, with a clearly displeased expression on his face.

"Stephen Strange, neurosurgeon, former neurosurgeon, I want to talk to you."

Facing Jonathan Pangborn's question, Stephen Strange tried to control his inner emotions and opened his mouth tremblingly to reply.

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 once went to your office, but you didn't even want to see me."

Hearing Stephen Strange's introduction, Jonathan Pangborn frowned, but then he remembered who the guy in front of him was.

"I can't save you at all."

As a former neurosurgery expert, Stephen Strange is not a noble being. On the contrary, in order to maintain his surgical success rate, he has refused many surgical invitations, just like the doctor in the previous video call as done.
