An Unscientific Marvel Scientist

203. Future competitors

Following the release of Eddie Brock's press release and the evidence he gave in the media, Human Torch's reputation suddenly fell to the bottom.

If there were still some fans who admired Human Torch because of his powerful ability and flamboyant personality, then after knowing that his abilities were deprived by Kraft, these "strength fans" also abandoned him one after another.

Now Johnny Stone can be said to be hated by people, and he can't find a supporter at all.

Not only that, but also those who were bullied by Johnny in the past also stood up and spoke out in the media, denouncing the bully-like superhero, Human Torch.

Of course, some people who fish in troubled waters are indispensable, but many media don't have the heart to prove it. Such enthusiasm is not for nothing. Anyway, in their opinion, the former superhero of Human Torch is useless, so it is better to use waste and let them make money. A wave of quick money.

And the former superhero who was criticized by the media and spurned by the public, now just an ordinary person, Johnny Stone, is staying at his home at this time, paralyzed on the sofa, staring at The ceiling looks decadent.

The ability to be proud of was deprived of it, which was a huge blow to Johnny Stone, not to mention that because of his recklessness, Reed and the others also lost their abilities.

Since he woke up, Johnny has been hiding at home alone, constantly anesthetizing himself with alcohol.

Now Johnny is unshaven and exudes a sour smell, almost like a homeless man on the street.

He reached out and groped on the coffee table next to him, grabbed a can of unfinished beer and poured it into his mouth, then grabbed a bag of corn flakes and poured some in his mouth at random, chewed it mechanically a few times Swallow it down.

During this process, Johnny Stone had no expression on his face, and his eyes remained unfocused, as if his entire soul had been sucked out, and he was eating entirely by his body's instincts.

"Click."

The door of the room was opened, and a slim figure walked in.

Susan Stone looked at the crippled brother on the sofa, sighed softly, then walked to the window and opened the curtains and the window.

The fresh air blowing in from outside made the smell in the house a little better, and the sun's rays also made Johnny squint his eyes.

"Huh? Susan, you're here."

Under the stimulation of the sunlight, Johnny's eyes regained their focus, and then he found his sister standing by the sofa.

"Are you going to keep going like this?"

Susan frowned, looking down at the decadent Johnny. Before that, she had tried to persuade and scold him, but it was a pity that Johnny fell into a slump after waking up.

However, Susan didn't want to give up her younger brother, and would still come to persuade him every day and help him clean up the room.

Facing his sister's question, Johnny lay on the sofa, lowered his eyes and said nothing.

Susan sighed helplessly, shook her head and began to tidy up the messy room in front of her.

Johnny glanced blankly at his sister who was busy, then struggled to get up from the sofa, and staggered towards the bathroom.

"vomit--"

Listening to the sound of Johnny vomiting from the bathroom, Susan bit her lips. Even though she knew Johnny was wrong, she still hated Kraft who was interviewed.

After cleaning up the garbage in the room, Susan walked to the door of the bathroom and knocked on the door lightly.

"I'll go first, don't drink so much wine."

There was a vague reply from the bathroom, Susan sighed again, and then left Johnny's residence.

"Click."

As the sound of Susan's footsteps gradually receded, Johnny's dull cries full of regret sounded in the bathroom until the sound of closing the door.

Susan, who didn't know that her younger brother was crying bitterly, walked out of Johnny's residence. At this time, she had already covered her appearance with sunglasses, a scarf, and a hat, and walked quickly to the parking lot not far away.

With the outbreak of public opinion, Johnny's original residence was quickly exposed, and the ensuing protest crowd forced Susan to find a remote and quiet new residence for Johnny.

And every time she came to clean up Johnny's house, she had to be careful not to reveal her whereabouts, otherwise she would be discovered by the group of black fans who were already on top, and they would come here again to protest and make trouble.

In fact, Reed Richards was also harassed by some "just people" at the beginning, but they didn't last long.

The main reason is that Reed's experiment would run wild from time to time, so in order not to affect others as much as possible, he arranged his laboratory and residence in the outskirts away from the crowd.

Those who ran to protest came a few times and found that this place was far and remote, and no one came to watch their "just acts", and gradually they didn't bother to waste time on Reed's side.

Driving the car to Reed's laboratory, Susan found her fiance who was busy.

"Reed, is there any result from the research?"

"It's finished," Reid stopped the work in his hands. "Based on the data when I observed the cosmic storm, I have successfully simulated the energy of the same wavelength as the cosmic storm, and I am now doing the final adjustment."

Ben, who was lowering his head to adjust the machine, raised his head, glanced at Reed and Susan, then lowered his head silently and continued to work.

For Ben, who can't return to his human appearance after mutation, it's not bad to be a superhero, but to continue to do research silently like before.

It's just that his friend Reed wanted to restore his identity as Mister Fantastic, so he had no choice but to help, but he also made up his mind that he would never become a stone man again.

"Reed, you can start."

Ben Grimm closed the lid, turned on the switch, and said after looking at the stable reading on the meter.

"I see."

Reed exhaled, opened the hatch of the instrument in front of him, and walked in.

"Start it."

Nodding to Ben at the controls through the glass, Reed Richards said.

It was not the first time that Ben, who cooperated with Reed, reached out and pressed the button to release the simulated cosmic storm without saying a word.

Inside the instrument, Reed's body began to mutate again under the energy he created. His body was stretched and twisted like rubber, forming various strange shapes in the cabin.

But as the instrument was turned off, Reed found that the cosmic energy in his body was rapidly dissipating, and his ability disappeared again after a while.

"What's the matter, Reed?"

Seeing Reid's solemn expression after he came out, Susan asked with concern.

"My abilities have disappeared again." Reid pursed his lips, "I still underestimated Kraft, as expected of Tony Stark's valued young genius."

"How come? Didn't your body return to the state of a rubber man just now?"

Susan covered her mouth with her hands and exclaimed.

"Kraft should have injected something into our bodies that can neutralize or dispel the energy of the universe."

As a genius scientist, Reed quickly figured out the methods Kraft used based on the information given by SHIELD.

"We need to do a full body check first."

Reed's technology is still nothing to say, after finding the right direction, he quickly found the nanomachines Kraft put into their bodies.

"What a great kid..."

Despite mutual antagonism, Reed still had nothing but praise for Kraft.

Compared with using other energies or medicines to neutralize cosmic energy, this kind of nanomachine that can dispel cosmic energy takes longer to take effect, and it is more troublesome to solve.

"Craft recently developed a virtual helmet, right?"

Reed Richards suddenly had the desire to use technology to compete with Kraft.

"After we take out all the nanomachines in our bodies, let's also develop a virtual reality product to compete with Dreamland."

Unlike those companies that can only watch the dream company make a lot of money with "Dream World", Reed is capable of creating a virtual world that is not inferior to "Dream World".

As for the other businesses of Dreamland Company, he has no interest in them. The technology is too low and there is no challenge.

The only interesting mechanical prosthesis is now gradually withdrawing from the mainstream market and has become a high-end customized product for the rich. It does not make any sense to compete with Kraft on this.

However, what Reed Richards didn't know was that in doing so, he played right into Nick Fury's arms.

S.H.I.E.L.D. actually didn't plan to take action against Kraft, and even the plan to eat both ends was not their main purpose.

The real purpose of Nick Fury is to formulate a defense plan against Kraft, because Kraft is very powerful and not controlled by S.H.I.E.L.D., and has never had a good attitude towards American officials, so Nick Fury Ray felt the need to plan ahead.

It's just that Kraft usually reveals too little, and he doesn't like being a superhero like Peter Parker. There is no place for S.H.I.E.L.D. to collect more information.

That's why Nick Fury "helped" him find a few opponents, let them have a little friction from time to time, and then their S.H.I.E.L.D.

In fact, in Nick Fury's opinion, the most suitable superhero to compete with Kraft should be Tony Stark.

It's a pity that before SHIELD paid attention to Kraft, he had already had friendship with Stark, which made Nick Fury have to find the alien Thor.

But the current Reed Richards is not bad. Although he is far behind Tony Stark in terms of funds, he will not lose to Stark in terms of invention and creation.

And besides the Fantastic Four and Thor, Nick Fury has other opponents for Kraft.
