On the night after escaping from the cage, the torchbearer flew far away until he was near a farm in New Jersey.
He extinguished his flame, turned into human form, and hid on the second floor of the barn to rest.
He is ignorant and doesn't know how to get food. In the past, doctors fed him through special channels, but now he can only rely on himself.
For a time, he had no choice but to endure hunger and sleep in a haystack.
However, not long after, some people also drove to the barn, and the sounds of beating and cursing came from below, which woke him up.
It turned out to be members of some gangs. They captured an accountant and suspected that he had provided the gang's account books to the tax bureau.
God, the Tax Bureau is really the most terrifying elite force in the United States. Now everyone is doomed!
They planned to deal with this man on this abandoned farm and use the most cruel means to vent their fears for the future.
The torch bearer hiding behind the haystacks on the second floor knew what these people were holding. It was a gun. He had seen similar things at the expo. The effect of this thing was played on the big screen at the time. They could shoot a small weapon.
Small projectiles take away other people's lives.
He had seen enough dead people tonight, and he killed someone unintentionally, but felt in his heart that it was wrong.
So he jumped from the second floor of the barn, and the flames instantly swept through his body. He was a real superpower, although he still didn't know what his strength meant.
But in the comics, Torchbearer and Namor are the earliest superpowers introduced by Marvel. They are ruthless characters who can fight Hyperion head-on. Hyperion’s ability can be summed up very simply. He is Marvel’s
Superman...
How could a group of ordinary gangsters fight against the Torchbearer with superpowers? They quickly fled under his expulsion and intimidation.
They panicked and their car crashed into a big tree. No one survived.
The torchbearer was confused, life was really fragile, and he didn't want to kill anyone.
But the accountant was saved. He endured the fear in his heart and boldly approached the torchbearer to talk to him.
"I know who you are, you're the burning man in New York."
"I...people..."
"Hey, what the heck, they say you're a monster, but you're my hero, come on, let me entertain you."
In order to repay him, or perhaps to save his life from the gangsters, the accountant took the torchbearer back to his home, gave him food, and taught him the common sense of life.
Here, the torchbearers learned to read, read newspapers, and saw the news about heroes emerging in large numbers.
Human beings are praising these heroes because they are doing the right thing.
He has made mistakes and must make amends for them. He must also be a hero and do good deeds.
He wears a fire-proof uniform made for him by the doctor, and the accountant made him a fire-proof eye mask out of asbestos. He chose some words from the newspaper to form his name.
He has a name now, Jim Hammond.
I have to say that the accountant is an upright person, otherwise he would not have fought against the gangs and led to death. He taught Jim many things. It was he who told Jim that superheroes need a normal identity to hide their secrets. Being too powerful will only lead to death.
Causing panic to others.
"What kind of identity can help others openly?" Jim was a little confused.
"That's easy, just become a police officer." The accountant pointed out a way for him.
So with the help of the accountant, the torchbearer obtained a legitimate identity, used his smart brain and strong body to pass the New York City police exam and became a street patrolman.
He liked this job. Every day during the day, he would wear a dark blue police uniform and help others on the streets. He learned to pretend to be an ordinary person, which was like playing a game.
And at night, he would put on his red uniform, do good deeds in another identity, and make up for the mistakes he made.
This era is very interesting. Many ordinary people disguise themselves as superpowers, while real superpowers disguise themselves as ordinary people.
He always had a sense of guilt in his heart, which made him unwilling to rest or relax. Within a week, he solved more than 200 cases of various sizes, and became a star of the police station. Among his colleagues
Everyone jokes that he is a super policeman, but everyone needs a rest.
In their opinion, this slightly dull young man seems to have the fire of justice in his heart that will never go out, and a strange sense of mission drives him and makes him never stop.
This is a good thing. The police really need some credibility. Now they have been criticized thoroughly by various media.
However, the director still gave Jim a few days off. As everyone said, normal people need a rest.
Jim has learned a lot these days, and his synthetic brain has an almost photographic memory, but sometimes it seems to lack common sense.
He now knew that normal people could not work all the time and needed entertainment and rest, so he accepted the vacation and went to the Coney Island amusement park for several days.
Of course this is still a little strange.
Normal people don't spend days and nights in amusement parks. Adult men can spend a whole day playing on the merry-go-round. This is a bit perverted no matter how you look at it.
The little girls were holding ice cream and looked at him with envy as he sat on the wooden horse with a silly smile, while their mother quickly covered their eyes and carried them away as if they were some dirty thing.
In fact, for Jim, who was as blank as a piece of paper, he didn't think there was anything wrong with it, he just found it relaxing and fun.
The little girls were just envious that he could buy hundreds of tickets at a time and sit inside without having to come out.
But other people, especially adults, only think dirty things when they see them.
.............
Su Ming has always asked his subordinates to pay attention to the news in the police station. He noticed it when the torchbearer showed his prominence, but just like what he thought before, the story changed.
Namor was supposed to be killing people in the amusement park, and then the Torchman and him had a big fight. The two of them played a game of fire and water in New York, causing great damage.
But the men sent to follow up reported things every day that had nothing to do with the incident.
"Boss, Jim ate three hundred ice creams in a row today."
"Boss, that person won this year's Big Eater Championship."
"Boss, he has been in the haunted house for more than 10 hours today."
Namor didn't show up...
This is not good news for Su Ming.
Namor's flooding of New York was just the beginning, and it could even be said that he and the United States had never known each other before. But with Namor gone, his mortal enemy, the U-Devil on the side of Germany, had no one to restrain him.
No one knows the real name of the U-Devil. Anyway, the names of people in Atlantis are just a bunch of weird names when translated. He is an opponent of Namor's ascension to the throne.
He was once a general of Atlantis, and he looked like a blue monster fish with arms and legs. His various abilities were stronger than Namor, who was left behind by his mother.
He was defeated by the power of his cronies and allowed him to escape Bermuda.
On his way to escape, he encountered an underwater ship with a large white symbol printed on its bow, u.
He knew it was a human being, and human beings are the strongest creatures on land, so he decided to cooperate with humans and followed the strange ship to their port.
There was some commotion at first, but they were soon received by a short man with a mustache.
Mustache told them that they were glorious Aryans, and they were the same advanced race as the Atlanteans, and the two could help each other.
The generals help them seize control of the land, while humans help them seize all the seas. People of noble blood should have all rights.
Mustache's ideas coincided with those of the general. Although Mustache was short in stature, he was equally passionate and courageous. His speeches were always philosophical and inspiring, and the devil admired him very much.
Especially the tone in which the head of state said that everyone else was scum.
Of course the general agreed, that was his original purpose, he wanted to regain the throne of Atlantis.
He took the hull number of the submarine as his code name and called himself the U-Devil. All his men who escaped from Atlantis with him also joined the Nazis to help them establish underwater superiority.
This has brought the recent British sea transportation to an almost complete standstill. In the past, during the neutrality period of the United States, it could still provide some help for this, and Mustache would not blatantly attack American merchant ships at that time.
After the United States entered the war, sea routes were no longer so safe. Now even Su Ming was unable to stably maintain Wilson Enterprises' supply of materials to the United Kingdom.
Once the transport fleet is discovered, it will attract the wolf pack tactics of the German submarines and attacks by the elite U-Devil troops. Under the attack of huge waves and underwater creatures, the ships on the sea are almost helpless to fight back.
If this continues, Britain will not be able to survive for long, and after Britain falls, the United States will be next.
Su Ming didn't want to wake up one day and find that the streets were full of people, and he would have to raise his hand to salute others at every turn.
And those are considered good results.
The U Demon and Mustache are both dictators, and they can still cooperate now, but what happens after they defeat their enemies? The U Demon's biggest hobby is to melt the ice and snow in the North and South Poles, and no one knows what kind of backhand Mustache has hidden.
If the mustache didn't have a few brushes, would Hydra be willing to succumb to others? It's impossible to think about it.
This world is so different from comic book movies that past experience is no longer valid. Seeing is believing.
