Phantom Kid in the American Comic World
125. Two Heroes Think Too Much

"Mr Wayne, we have a situation here."

After Alfred applied some basic first aid to Ivan Vanko, he told Batman what had just happened. 

"So, Alfred, it's time to go home." 

Batman glanced at Iron Man, then turned around and left, disappearing into the darkness. 

Tony is speechless. He had heard of Batman's habit of arresting prisoners. 

Ordinary prisons can't hold high-IQ criminals like Whiplash. 

Batman must have sent him to Arkham Asylum. 

Although this kind of action was far from legal, Tony himself did not respect the law, and did not care about Ivan's fate. 

As long as this guy doesn't break free to take revenge on Tony, and Batman is willing to take him away, then let it go. 

“Finally done.” 

Toni breathed a sigh of relief. He is in a better mood now that Ivan, who has long been a concern for Tony, cannot interfere with his life. In addition, Tony has a solution for palladium poisoning, if Kid is telling the truth. 

If not for this latter, SHIELD would have taken the initiative to find Tony, pretending to give him the relics of Howard that originally belonged to the Stark family, and directing the scene where they seem to have saved his life. 

Overall, they wanted to make Tony feel that he owed SHIELD a favor. 

According to the original screenplay, Tony was indeed grateful for the HELP SHIELD gave him. And it is for this reason that he serves as a special advisor to SHIELD 

Later, he even replaced Fury in negotiations with General Ross. 

But in fact, SHIELD did nothing during the process. 

The new element was synthesized by Tony himself. 

And SHIELD didn't even know that Howard had hidden the structure of the new element in the exposition model. 

What can be deduced from all this, you might ask? 

This suggests that Howard may never have thought of handing over new elements to SHIELD 

Yes, he is the founder of SHIELD, and he did leave clues about the new energy in the SHIELD data. 

But deep down, he plans to let Tony complete this great discovery, which can truly change the world. 

This was his most important gift to Tony as a father. 

There is nothing more touching than entrusting the most important business of one's life to someone you trust. 

Otherwise, with Howard's theoretical foundation, SHIELD would have integrated that new element out, leaving no room for Tony. 

The simple words that Phantom Kid spoke caused countless daydreams in Tony's mind. 

If Howard didn't hand over his relics to SHIELD for safekeeping before his death, where did SHIELD get his father's relics? 

At this moment, Tony's mind grew suspicious. 

But he could not express his thoughts, and he had no way of knowing anything. 

He could only wait for SHIELD to take the initiative to talk to him… 

On the other hand, in Batwing. 

"Mr Wayne, the Phantom Kid's powers are far beyond our expectations." 

Alfred informed Batman, who had just entered the pilot's cockpit. 

When Mathison throws Ivan into Batwing, Alfred thinks Batwing will fall. Fortunately, the shell of the lower compartment changed shape… 

How powerful is the Phantom Kid? 

Batwing goes into autopilot mode, so Alfred can get out of the pilot's seat. 

"If he always had such a powerful strength, why would he choose to hide it?" 

batman asked while watching the scene recorded by Alfred. 

"Why is he intentionally suppressing his strength?" 

Alfred shook his head, nor could he understand this paradox. 

“Maybe he just wants to show off his magic tricks and has no interest in using violence to conquer others.” 

Batman did not answer, he did not think so in his mind. 

He felt that this was the exact sign that insinuated Phantom Kid's "purity. 

Strong forces are often accompanied by unintentional injuries from innocent people. 

Some people enjoy the pleasure of causing chaos, while some people deliberately suppress themselves to create it. 

From Batman's perspective, the Phantom Kid is undoubtedly among the latter. 

"He is a material that can be rehabilitated!" 

Batman's eyes stiffened with determination. 

But even the purest souls will be polluted once they are in a dark environment for a long time. 

How long has Kid, who has been addicted to crime, been able to retain his white clothes? 

Judging from Ivan's end, Kid also has a violent side, but no one knows if he can manage this side. 

Batman is worried that one day Kid's white dress will be dyed black or blood red… 

After all, the Phantom Kid is fundamentally different from Batman. 

Batman's heart is inherently filled with darkness, so he doesn't have to worry about his mind getting contaminated. 

The precedent of Harvey Dent has shown this well; a knight with a white heart will turn into darkness one day. 

Kid's powers are much stronger than Harvey's. If evil eats it up one day, great calamity will follow. 

So, the Phantom Kid has to keep his heart white and get back on the right path. Batman feels that this is his duty! 

Batman and Iron Man think too much about the Phantom Kid situation. 

The next day, Chief George is found in a coma by a janitor. The latter took him to the hospital in a panic. After several treatments, he regained consciousness. 

When George wakes up, the first thing he does is curse the Phantom Kid. 

No matter how the nurse tried to calm him down, he would not stop. Therefore, his voice was heard all over the hospital floor. 

In desperation, doctors gave George another injection of anesthesia to put him to sleep… 

At the same time, an elementary school in Queens, New York. 

"Hey, Peter, how'd your forehead hurt?" 

Gwen discovers that her classmate Peter has a plaster on his forehead and she can't help but ask with concern. 

“Ah, this..uuh, last night I was at home... I accidentally fell...” 

Peter was ashamed. In fact, it was scratched by a pebble at the exhibition. 

She did not want to lie to Gwen, but as long as she thought of Aunt May's grim face, she could not help but shiver. 

Due to her carelessness and mischief, Aunt May scolded her yesterday, and she was not allowed to go out and tell anyone about what she saw at the fair. 

As a result, he had to lie to Gwen. 

Hearing Peter's words, Gwen immediately rubbed the injured area gently. 

"Did it hurt? That's how my father comforted me when I was injured by accident.” 

“No...stop, this hurts; I feel very uncomfortable.” 

Seeing Gwen's face this close, Peter's cheeks became slightly red, gulping his saliva nervously.
