Chapter 252 Heroes are too late! The white-haired US team
"But you look very young now." Loki said, "You don't look like a centenarian at all."
"That's because I was frozen for decades," Steve Rogers said.
"So Captain, under what circumstances will you choose a successor?" Nick Fury turned to ask, "Is it when you are old and can no longer fight?"
"It's possible." Steve Rogers thought for a moment and said, "Anyway, I don't have any thoughts of retiring now."
"Of course Steve." Sam Wilson said, "Thanos hasn't fought yet. If you can retire in peace, you won't be Captain America."
"If Captain has to wait until he is old before retiring and choosing a successor, then except for Peter, the other three items can be eliminated." Phil Coulson said, "Bucky is in the same situation as Captain. Although he looks young,
But he is already a hundred years old, and when Captain gets older, he will definitely get older too. Sam and Clint will also become old people."
"So this successor will not be chosen when the captain is old, but when the options are all in their prime." Tony Stark said.
"Then this is very strange, in the prime of life?" Sam Wilson said, "When we were in our prime, wasn't the captain also a 'prime'? Although the captain is actually older than me, he looks younger than me.
.”
"It's now." Clint Barton said, "Except for Peter, Sam and I are now at our peak. If we were to be our successors, it would be now. In another ten or twenty years, our age will be
When it gets bigger, it won’t work anymore.”
"So the captain chose his successor when he was at his peak?" Stephen Strange said, "Why did the captain choose his successor at this time, because he was seriously injured and could no longer fight?"
"This should be the reason." Scott Lang said, "For an enemy as powerful as Thanos, it is reasonable for the captain to be seriously injured while fighting him."
"At Tony's funeral, Cap looked fine, with no arms or legs missing," Clint Barton said.
"It can't be seen from the outside, but it doesn't mean that there is no injury. It may be some kind of internal injury." James Rhodes said.
"This reason is not important, as long as we know that the captain has to choose a successor." Bruce Banner said, "Captain, if you were asked to choose a successor now, among the four options, who would you choose?"
"I don't think it will be me." Before Steve Rogers could say anything, Clint Barton eliminated himself first, "I'm just an ordinary person without any superpowers. I mean, if the answer space
Without intervention, an ordinary person’s fighting ability wouldn’t be enough to defeat Captain America, right?”
"I think what Barton said makes sense." Sam Wilson said, "So it won't be me. Peter and Bucky, neither of them are ordinary people. The choice should be between them."
"Although Peter has stronger combat power and greater potential than Bucky, he is too young." Clint Barton said, "Bucky, on the other hand, has similar combat power and similar abilities to the captain, and he grew up with the captain.
My oldest friend, I fought in the war with the captain, and he is the captain’s closest friend, so I think the captain will choose Bucky as his successor.”
"No, it absolutely can't be Bucky." Nick Fury shook his head and immediately rejected Clint Barton's conclusion, "Have you forgotten what Bucky has done? For quite a long time, he has
He is a Hydra killer and has assassinated many people."
"Fury, that was not my intention. My mind was controlled by someone, and I didn't even know what I was doing." Bucky Barnes quickly explained.
"Bucky, I know, I understand." Nick Fury said, "What I want to say is that Captain America is not only a superhero, but also a symbol of the spirit and the sustenance of the American spirit. This kind of
It is not appropriate for a person with a lot of 'dirty information' to inherit my identity."
"Fury is right." Tony Stark said, "It is not appropriate for Bucky to be the new Captain America."
"So it's Peter?" Scott Lang concluded, "If Bucky is removed, he will be the only one with superpowers."
"No, Scott, we shouldn't limit our vision to personal combat effectiveness." Steve Rogers said, "What Fury just said is right, Captain America is more importantly a spiritual symbol, so personal combat effectiveness is more important.
The second thing is. If measured by combat effectiveness, then the spiritual symbol now should not be me at all, but Thor and Bruce."
"That makes sense." Scott Lang nodded.
"If it is a spiritual symbol, then I should be able to rule it out." Sam Wilson said, "Although no one thinks there is anything wrong with my skin color, Americans will not recognize a black man as their spiritual symbol.
of."
"Sam is right." James Rhodes, who is also black, said, "Democracy and equality have always been a slogan and a joke. In America, color discrimination has never changed."
"Breaking color barriers is one of the few things I can't change," Nick Fury said.
"Sam, maybe you are right, but don't forget that we are talking about the second generation of Captain America, and we are talking about my successor." Steve Rogers said, "Although this spiritual symbol is the spiritual symbol of America
, but it’s me who chooses people, not the Americans. Will I still hold a referendum?”
"That's right." Stephen Strange said, "You don't care whether others will discriminate against black people, as long as the captain does not discriminate, that's enough."
"Peter is too young, Bucky, Bucky's history..." Steve Rogers glanced at Bucky Barnes and said slowly, "So if I want to choose a successor, I will only be in Colin."
We had to choose between Te and Sam. But we have seen the video of Clint and Kate Bishop before. At that time, it was already after defeating Thanos. He was living with his family at that time and did not become Captain America."
"Captain, so you chose me?" Sam Wilson was a little excited. Being chosen by his idol as his successor was really a great honor.
"Yes, Sam, I chose you!" Steve Rogers made his choice, "I choose C!"
[Correct answer! Reward distributed!]
Steve Rogers' eyes suddenly turned red, like red-hot lava, and then returned to normal.
"Captain, shoot one and see?" Tony Stark said at the side.
"Okay." Steve Rogers turned around and faced the direction of no one, his eyes turned red, and with a "shoo", two red beams shot out from his eyes.
"Cool!" Scott Lang gave a thumbs-up to the side, "Give the captain a cape again, it will be like Clark has come to reality!"
"What cape, Scott, you're completely missing the point." Tony Stark asked, "What is Superman's most obvious symbol?"
"The S on the chest?" Scott Lang asked.
"Wear your underwear outside!" Tony Stark said angrily, "You can't think of such a trendy sign!"
"So, Captain, hurry up and put it on. You will become Superman after putting it on." Stephen Strange said.
"Please wear red," Tony Stark said. "I like red."
"You can wear it yourself if you like." Steve Rogers said angrily.
"With the ability to fly and the ability to shoot rays from his eyes, the current captain can be considered a low-end version of Superman," said Stephen Strange.
"It would be more like it if the defense could be improved a little more." Bruce Banner said, "Captain's defense is still not enough now. Not to mention reaching the level of Superman, at least he must be immune to most thermal weapons.
Bar?"
"I'm very contented," Steve Rogers said. "My current strength is many times stronger than before the answer space appeared."
That's just an increase many times. Without using anything else, with just the two abilities of flying + shooting rays from his eyes, the current Steve Rogers can easily torture hundreds of him in the past.
No, it should be said that he could torture him as much as he wanted. As long as he flew high in the sky, flying to a height where the shield could not shoot, he would shoot rays downwards. In the past, he would have to kneel down wherever he came.
The air force's attack on infantry is basically a dimensionality reduction attack and bullying.
At this time, the light in the space lights up, and the video player starts playing in the space.
"Remember, you have to return the gems to the moment they were taken," Bruce Banner tells Steve Rogers at the beginning, "or else you'll open up a bunch of nasty parallel realities."
"Don't worry Bruce, block all time branches." Steve Rogers said.
"I tried," Bruce Banner said. "When I wore the iron arm and the gem, I tried hard to bring her back. I missed her."
"Me too," Steve Rogers said.
"I can go with you if you want," Sam Wilson said to Steve Rogers.
"You're a good man, Sam," Steve Rogers said, "but I'm going alone this time."
"Don't do anything stupid, wait until I come back." Steve Rogers walked up to Bucky Barnes again.
"How could I?" Bucky Barnes smiled, "You took all the stupidity away."
After saying goodbye to his two friends, Steve Rogers carried the box filled with infinite gems and walked to the time travel machine.
"How long will he be gone?" Sam Wilson asked.
"He takes as long as he needs, but for us it's only five seconds," Bruce Banner said, before asking Steve Rogers, "Are you ready, Captain?"
On the time travel machine, Steve Rogers lifted Thor's Meow Hammer and turned his head to take a look.
"Well, we'll wait here for you to come back." Bruce Banner said.
"No problem." Steve Rogers said.
"Turn on quantum, three, two, one." After Bruce Banner counted down, he pressed the button and Steve Rogers was sucked into the quantum tunnel and disappeared.
"Countdown to return, five, four, three, two, one!" Immediately afterwards, Bruce Banner counted down five more and pressed the button again.
However, the time travel machine was empty, and Steve Rogers had not returned.
Bruce Banner thought there was something wrong and quickly checked the machine.
"Where are the others?" Sam Wilson asked.
"I don't know, he missed the timestamp." Bruce Banner was still checking there, "He should be back."
"Bring him back," said Sam Wilson.
"I'm working on it," Bruce Banner said.
"Bring him back quickly!" Sam Wilson urged.
"I told you I was working on it," Bruce Banner said.
"Sam." At this time, Bucky Barnes called Sam Wilson.
Sam Wilson and Bruce Banner also looked around and found a figure sitting on the shore. From the back, he looked like an old man.
Sam Wilson and Bucky Barnes walked over.
Standing behind them, they already felt who the old man was.
"Go ahead," Bucky Barnes said to Sam Wilson.
Sam Wilson walked up to the old man and said, "Captain?"
At this time, the camera cut to the person's face. The person's skin was dry, his face was wrinkled, and his hair was white. He was indeed an old man.
Although it was already very old, everyone had already looked at it with the mentality of "This is Captain America", so they recognized these old faces as Steve Rogers at a glance.
"What the hell! The captain is really old!"
"I can't imagine that the lively captain will grow old like this one day."
"Is that really the captain? I couldn't be mistaken!"
As soon as the old appearance of Steve Rogers appeared, there were bursts of exclamations.
"So the captain really chose his successor when he was too old to fight anymore." Tony Stark couldn't help but say.
"What's going on? Why does the captain look like that when we are all still young?" Scott Long asked.
"Obviously, after Captain returned to the past and returned the gem, he did not come back from the quantum realm for some reason, but lived in the past." Bruce Banner said, "That's why he is so old."
"Our thinking is too narrow," Tony Stark said. "We obviously know that there is such a thing as time travel, but when analyzing this problem, no one took time travel into consideration."
"Who would have thought of this?" James Rhodes said, "No one would have thought of this!"
"The captain has always appeared in front of us as a hero who never stops fighting. Once difficulties arise, the captain will always attack immediately. This gives us the illusion that the captain will always be with us and protect us forever.
We." Natasha Romanoff said, "I never thought about the captain growing old."
