Russell was not interested in knowing which female star or model Stark had recently dated.
So, he changed a search term and started searching for Stark Industries news.
After changing the search term to Stark Industries, he quickly found the information he wanted.
"Stark Industries has received another new order from the military, and US military bases in Afghanistan will soon be equipped with 'Jericho' missiles!"
"A terrorist's nightmare! The top product of Stark Industries' "Freedom" series, the 'Jericho' missile, is officially on sale!"
…
really!
Tony Stark is going to Afghanistan to sell missiles again!
Not long after he traveled to this world, Russell knew that this was not the well-known movie universe.
However, this does not mean that the fate of superheroes will become completely different.
Take Captain America for example.
Apart from being dug out earlier, Steve Rogers' life trajectory has not changed much.
At least for now, that's the case.
Rogers was still the Brooklyn boy who was injected with the super soldier serum. He was the biggest contributor to defeating Hydra, and was eventually frozen for decades.
If the turning point of Rogers' fate was the draft physical exam that night at the Stark Industries Expo, then the turning point of Stark's fate was the kidnapping incident in Afghanistan.
If Stark hadn't been kidnapped, Stark wouldn't have become Iron Man.
A certain parallel universe has proven this with facts.
After browsing the news that Stark Industries was going to sell Jericho missiles to US military bases in Afghanistan, Russell closed the page.
Although he knew that Tony was about to be kidnapped by the Ten Rings Gang, he had no intention of intervening.
Not only that, he was even considering whether to take advantage of this opportunity to short-sell Stark Industries' stock and make a "little" extra money.
Just when he was considering whether to contact his stockbroker, a message suddenly popped up on the system.
"Reward: Endosymbiosis Armor; Status: Inactive; Activation Condition: Prevent Tony Stark from becoming Iron Man due to kidnapping; Activation Effect: After activation, you will obtain the Endosymbiosis Armor!"
…
The Endosymbiotic Armor is the armor worn by Tony in the comic "Ultimate Iron Man". It is also called the Symbiote Armor or the White Can Armor.
Among Tony's many armors, this is the only silver-white armor apart from the unpainted Mark 2.
The endosymbiotic armor is made of all-liquid smart metal, and the way it is worn is to instantly solidify and combine.
Compared with other armors that rely on technical elements for initial binding, the symbiote armor is much more convenient to wear.
What's more, the symbiote suit can be activated telepathically.
The basic materials extracted from the symbiote also have a certain repair ability, similar to the self-repair of the nano-armors Mark 50 and Mark 85.
Because it is plated with a layer of chrome, the armor will look shiny, high-profile and "sexy".
Sexy as hell, this is Tony's own description.
Russell had reservations about this.
Although the Endosymbiotic Armor is not the most powerful among Tony's many armors, it is definitely the most special one.
Because this is the armor worn by Tony, the estranged villain!
Although we don’t know how the system will send out the reward of the Endosymbiotic Armor, the activation conditions for the reward have been turned on, and Russell will never let go of this armor.
White endosymbiotic armor, black venom symbiote!
Black and white, perfect!
After turning off the reward information that popped up on the system, Russell took out his mobile phone and booked a first-class ticket to Afghanistan tomorrow.
After booking the flight, he contacted the Continental Hotel in Afghanistan through the Continental Hotel in New York.
Reserve rooms, reserve vehicles, reserve guns and ammunition, and maps of US military bases in Afghanistan...
They haven't set off yet, but Russell is already prepared to stay in Afghanistan for a few days.
There are many ways to prevent Tony from becoming Iron Man due to the kidnapping incident.
Kidnap Tony in advance...prevent the Ten Rings gang from kidnapping...rescue Tony and Ethan before he builds Mark 1...
As long as Tony didn't meet Ethan, or Ethan didn't die, he wouldn't have become Iron Man because of the kidnapping incident.
