CHAPTER 489 PRESSURE (1/2)
“Am I just the Iron Man or am I still Tony Stark?” Sitting on the sofa, Tony raised his head and looked at Lin Rui and asked seriously.
The reason Tony thinks so is also because of Killian’s attack on him today which had a greater impact on him. Before that, Tony had never encountered any danger or difficulties because of the strength of his Iron Man Armor.
After all, the Iron Man Armor can already be regarded as the top weapon in the world. However, what happened just now made Tony clearly realize that if he had no Iron Man Armor then he is a very fragile ordinary person, and anyone can destroy him at any time they want.
In the original plot, Tony also developed a mental illness because he relied too much on the Iron Man Armor and he would fall into a very delicate state of a panic attack when he lost the Iron Man Armor.
Moreover, the shrapnels inside Tony’s chest have not been taken out because they are too close to his heart. This will continue to put some pressure on Tony. Therefore, after today’s scene where his Iron Man Armor was controlled by the enemy, Tony’s backlog of emotions suddenly broke out.
Tony didn’t think about it too much because of the excitement after the fight. But now that the Live Broadcast is over, the feeling in Tony’s heart completely broke out.
“Huh?” Lin Rui, who had thought Tony didn’t immediately counterattack because he didn’t care about Killian, suddenly looked serious when he heard Tony’s words.
Phoo~
“Tony, why do you think that?” Lin Rui asked softly while he squatted down in front of Tony. At this time, Lin Rui had also noticed the change in Tony’s psychology.
“Why do I think like that? Tony Stark is just an ordinary person and without the Iron Man Armor, he can’t even guarantee his own safety. Actually, I may not be able to bear the t.i.tle of Iron Man at all.” Tony answered the young man in front of him seriously.
“Mr. Stark, that’s not the case! You are the Iron Man! And the Iron Man is you!” Hearing Tony’s words, Peter said excitedly from the side. As a person who admires Tony very much, Peter would not think that other people wearing the Iron Man Armor are Iron Man. There is only one Iron Man, and that is Tony Stark.
“Peter, I am Iron Man, but the Iron Man may not necessarily be me,” Tony said with a smile on his face when he heard what Peter had said.
“Mr. Stark, Peter is right. Iron Man is you, and there will only be you. What can other people represent even if they wear the Armor? Do we think that they are Iron Man? If it was not for Tony Stark then there would have been no Iron Man. The meaning of Iron Man is far more than a Steel Suit. Its meaning cannot be expressed by an Armor without emotion. Since the appearance of Iron Man, you have done so many things, these are your qualifications for the t.i.tle of Iron Man!” Realizing that Tony is having some problems with his emotions, Lin Rui said with a serious look on his face.
It is true that many people can wear the Iron Man Armor but its significance does not lie in the Armor itself, but who wears it. Since Tony created the Iron Man Armor, he has been committed to fighting terrorists and saving innocent civilians.
There have been many times that Tony wore his Armor and went through many dangerous places. This Tony is what Iron Man looks like, and it is also the reason why Iron Man can become the most popular Superhero today.
Without Tony, the steel suit would be nothing more than an advanced piece of armor, which might become a weapon for the US military’s armed forces.
But because of Tony’s existence, he withstood the tremendous pressure from the US military, tightly pinching the owners.h.i.+p of the Iron Man Armor in his own hands, and he a.s.sumed the responsibility of protecting innocent civilians in the United States and the world.
Only such a person can be called Iron Man and Tony is such a person and it is far from what a steel suit can express.
“Really? But I can’t even protect myself if I don’t have the Armor.” Hearing Lin Rui’s words, Tony felt better, but he was still a little unconfident.
“Also, this thing in my chest. Although it looks good but I don’t want to wear it all the time. Without it, the shrapnel in my heart will soon kill me.” Tony pointed at the Miniature Arc Reactor on his chest as he spoke.
“Huh!? This, haven’t you been cured a long time ago? Wy can’t you get rid of this Arc Reactor?” After hearing Tony’s words, Lin Rui, who was already relaxed, suddenly became nervous again.
Lin Rui, who is not very familiar with the original plot, had forgotten this situation a long time ago. He thought that Tony had completely recovered after drinking the Elven Holy Spring Water he gave him.
