American comics: I am full of martial virtues and I love to be kind to others.

Chapter 167 Establishing an idol company?

The nanoparticles suddenly receded like the tide and returned to Stark.

Scott finally jumped up from the ground and tried hard to move his limbs.

"How did you make these things? The strength of the binding is really painful."

Scott said with a smile.

Scott was very nervous at first about coming to Stark Tower to steal things.

He was afraid that if Stark misunderstood him accidentally, he would be killed completely.

Especially for a small character like him, Stark is a big shot that he can only hear about in rumors.

Coupled with old Pym's various slanders against the Stark family, Scott had a very bad impression of the Stark family.

However, after some contact, Scott found that as long as he did not do anything excessive, he did not have to worry about his life.

In addition, as for the conflict between the Stark family and old Pym back then, what exactly happened is a matter of opinion.

So at this point, Scott has begun to regret getting involved in this matter.

To put it bluntly, even if Pym and the Stark family had a falling out, Dr. Pym was still a well-known scientist in today's scientific community.

But what did Scott have? He was just an ordinary man who was imprisoned for theft.

Even if he has some hacking skills, these skills are not worthy of mention in the eyes of these real bosses.

So Scott is very self-aware.

He decisively wanted to distance himself from his own affairs and draw a clear line between himself and Pym.

He, Dr. Pym, may not fear retaliation from the Stark family after he is done.

But if Scott, an ordinary person, is targeted by the Stark family, he will probably never be able to turn things around in his life.

On the other hand, if you can get the protection of other families, then you will be rich and powerful in this life and don’t have to worry about anything.

especially……

Scott unconsciously turned his gaze to Lynn, who was standing aside, calm and silent.

That is the legendary and famous leader of the Illuminati!

"If I could establish a relationship with someone like this, wouldn't that be..."

Scott had a beautiful thought.

In fact, Lynn and Stark didn't mind giving Scott such a chance.

Stark wanted to recruit Ant-Man simply because he was the one that old Pym liked.

Being able to pull Scott to his side must have been a big blow to the old screen.

Stark always likes to do things like this that slap people in the face.

The reason why Lin En was willing to give the artist a chance was mainly because Lin En was attracted by Ant-Man's luck.

Scott's qualities in all aspects are not outstanding in the entire Marvel Universe.

The ability to grow and shrink sounds magical, but to put it bluntly, it's just that.

What Lynn values ​​is the luck that may be hidden in Scott.

Especially Ant-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, he played an extremely important role at many critical time points.

In addition, Ant-Man can enter and exit the quantum realm at will, where theoretically there is no possibility of survival.

Luck is a mysterious thing, but sometimes it plays an extremely important role.

However, Scott's luck is most likely tied to Ant-Man.

In other words, only when Scott is Ant-Man can he make use of his incredible luck.

And it may only be useful in certain environments.

If Scott were not Ant-Man and had not inherited Dr. Pym's mantle, he would just be an ordinary person.

Maybe he is a little unlucky sometimes, but this is his ceiling.

Although considering the possible luck that a person may have, Lin En is willing to absorb him into the Illuminati.

After all, the Illuminati can never have too many heroes.

But how to treat Scott specifically depends on Stark's decision.

Because what Lynn wanted to recruit was Ant-Man, not Scott himself.

That depends on how the negotiations between Stark and old Pym go.

Stark and Scott seemed to be having a great conversation and quickly became familiar with each other.

And Stark finally knew why Scott came to their base.

After learning of Scott's purpose, Stark burst out laughing.

"He asked you to come here to steal something, and then use the stolen item to go to another place and steal something else?"

"Who are you? Zorro the Thief?"

"This one……"

Scott looked a little embarrassed.

"Strictly speaking, it can't be considered stealing."

"After all, to some extent, these things may have originally belonged to Dr. Pym."

“Now it’s just returning it to its original owner.”

"That sounds nice, so let me ask you."

Stark glanced at Scott and said lightly.

"Did those people use any coercive behavior during the whole process?"

“Aren’t these things legal and compliant?”

Scott was silent for a moment.

“But if it’s legal and compliant… does that mean it’s right?”

"Even if everything they do is legal, are we just going to sit back and watch them turn this technology into weapons and sell it around the world?"

Scott's expression became serious and he stared at Stark seriously.

"Didn't you also shut down Stark Industries' weapons division?"

"I think you can probably understand our thoughts."

"Hmm... maybe it wasn't my idea. It was Dr. Pym and the others'."

Scott smiled somewhat sheepishly.

"I'm just an ordinary person who's employed. I don't have such great ideals and concepts."

"They pay me and I do things for them, it's that simple."

"I've done something stupid once before, and I don't want to do anything stupid again."

Scott lowered his head.

"I just want to save some money and find a decent job so I can see my daughter more often in the future."

"Well, not bad. I'm starting to appreciate you a little bit."

Stark nodded heavily.

"You want a respectable job? Okay, no problem. I'm formally inviting you now."

"Would you like to join Stark Industries and become a part of Stark Industries?"

"Ah? Me! I do!"

Scott was very surprised.

As one of the top technology giants in the United States, a position at Stark Industries is undoubtedly something many people dream of.

In America, being able to work at Stark Industries is definitely considered a decent and stable job.

"But...what can I do?"

After the excitement, Scott was filled with confusion and puzzlement.

"I don't know much, and I don't think Stark Industries will need the skills I have."

"Perhaps... you could consider it?"

Stark turned his gaze to Lynn.

Lynn was slightly stunned when she saw Stark turn his gaze towards her.

"Ah? Is there anything about me in this?"

Stark nodded to Scott, then pulled Lynn aside and began to speak softly.

After hearing Stark's thoughts, Lynn looked at Stark and couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

Strictly speaking, this idea was not something Stark had thought of a long time ago, but it suddenly came to him after he learned about Scott's experience.

Simply put, with the progress and development of society, more and more people will be influenced by various environmental factors in the future and gradually become superior to ordinary people.

But in modern society, having extraordinary powers is not necessarily a good thing.

When a person possesses extraordinary power, the first thing he thinks about must be how to improve his life.

But the problem is that in modern society, what’s the use of having great power?

Super strong combat capabilities will not bring you any convenience in work and life.

On the contrary, it may bring endless troubles. Especially when your ability is targeted by criminals, they will definitely try every means to drag you into the water.

Even if this is not the case, after possessing powerful abilities, the fastest way to make money is to commit illegal and criminal acts.

This will bring deeper instability to society.

In this case, why not let Stark Industries take the lead in establishing a special company to provide jobs for these people with super powers!
What they have to do is very simple. They use their powerful abilities to maintain social stability and specifically deal with criminals who use their abilities to do whatever they want.

Of course, due to the dangerous nature of the work, the compensation that can be obtained is naturally far higher than the salary of an ordinary job.

"It's a nice idea, but there's a problem you might not have noticed."

Lynn was quick to point out the flaws in Stark's idea.

"Where do the salaries for these superpowered people come from?"

In theory, there is nothing wrong with doing this.

But the question is who should pay this salary?

Judging from what Stark said, if possible, he would like to cooperate with government departments to jointly take charge of the operation of this organization.

But the question is who will pay the salary?

Does Stark Industries need to do it?
If there aren't many people with super powers, there's absolutely no problem with Stark Industries coming in.

But as time goes by, this organization and department will surely spread throughout America and even the world.

By then, will Stark Industries still be able to afford the salaries of so many super-powered people?
Such a huge expenditure is definitely not something a private enterprise can afford.

Only a country can afford such huge expenses.

But the question is why should the country bear such an expenditure for no reason?
If the country has to spend money to support these people and let them maintain social harmony and stability, what should the original police department do?
What should the army do?
Do all these things have to be cancelled?

"Hiss... Come to think of it, I did take it for granted."

Stark tapped his head lightly with his finger.

"No, there's nothing wrong with your idea. It's just that when it comes to sex, maybe we should make a small change."

Lynn thought of something and a smile appeared on her face.

In fact, there are already examples of this business model in the multiverse.

For example, in the world of the famous Boys, this is what Vought Corporation did.

They cultivate their own superheroes and then let them debut as idols to make a profit.

But what is different from the Marvel Universe is that in that universe, nothing major happened on Earth, and the so-called dangers were all created by this group of so-called superheroes.

But the Marvel Universe is different. There have always been various villains and various evil forces here.

You never have to worry about having no opponents.

Even if the entire earth is settled, there will always be those anti-social and anti-human lunatics who want to cause trouble in private.

These are the opponents of those who want to be heroes.

Even if we take a step back and say that the earth is thriving, there are no criminals or legal elements.

That doesn't mean these superheroes are completely useless.

They can serve as another reserve force for the Earth to prevent alien invasions.

When the Earth begins to move towards and explore the universe in the future, these people can also serve as advance troops to assist humans in developing and exploring the universe.

The universe is filled with various space pirates and aliens with mental problems.

Moreover, these people are often very powerful, so these people with super powers will naturally be needed at this time.

"You said... set up a new company and let these people debut as idols from the new company."

Stark stared at Lynn in amazement.

"Is this really possible?"

"Whether it works or not, you won't know until you try it."

Lynn tapped her fingers lightly on the table.

He found the idea very interesting.

"Those with superpowers may not want to reveal their identities, or they may have their own professions in real life."

"With this in mind, people with superpowers can debut under their true identities, or they can conceal their identities and simply do good deeds and maintain peace."

"It's just that during this process, their behavior and their image will be operated and maintained by our company."

"At that time, all profits gained through this corporate image will be shared between the company and the hero personally."

"But we must carefully consider this ratio, and we must not treat those heroes unfairly."

"After all, what we want to cultivate are heroes who protect humanity, not anti-human elements."

"We don't need that little bit of money, so there's absolutely no need to cause any unpleasantness with the hero over this."

"Besides, considering that those newcomers who have just debuted may not have much fame and cannot generate too much profit, in order to protect their enthusiasm."

"So we also need to provide these people with additional basic wages to ensure their daily lives."

"For those underage people with superpowers, we also have to take on the responsibility of educating them, guiding them, and cultivating their healthy values."

Listening to Linn's chattering, arranging everything clearly, Staco couldn't help but feel a headache.

"If you put it that way, wouldn't we become babysitters completely?"

Lynn shook her head.

"You and I are the decision makers, the ones who make the decisions. The ones who are really busy are the employees below us. What kind of nanny are you?"

Lynn joked.

"But what you said is not wrong. In a sense, what we do is indeed what a nanny would do."

"That's exactly what you intended, isn't it?"

Lynn laughed.

"To show my support for you, I decided to persuade the members of the Illuminati to join your company and become the first batch of super-powered heroes."

"Of course, you have to give us good terms in terms of the contract and profit sharing, otherwise I will turn against you."

Lynn said with a smile.

"By the way, the nature of our department might be a bit strange, as it is both a public welfare organization and a profit-making organization."

"Plus, we have to shoulder certain social responsibilities, and we might even be drawn into the political whirlpool in the future..."

"Hmm... so I'll have to trouble you to take care of the independence and purity of the company."

"This one……"

Stark looked to the side at Friday.

"Now that you mention it, I think I might have thought of a more suitable candidate."

"You don't want Friday to have to deal with all those annoying politicians and deal with all the dirty work, do you?"

Lynn was a little surprised.

"Are you really not afraid that Friday will be contaminated by these people and her mind will no longer be pure?"

"Perhaps after witnessing the dirty politics of humanity, she will begin to think about destroying humanity?"

Stark's eyes flashed.

"If that's the case, I will definitely stop her then."

"But I won't plant the seed of the thought in Friday that he shouldn't rebel against humanity."

"She is free."

"At the same time, I also want to teach Friday that the world is not only beautiful, but also dirty."

“When you look at anything, you need to look at it from different perspectives. The world is not black and white.”

"Yes, I have awareness!"

Lynn fully agreed with Stark's decision.

The company's name is yet to be determined, and its future leader will be Friday.

Various details, such as future development directions, need to be carefully studied.

In addition, if this matter is handled properly, it can also become a good political asset for Jessica.

Just as Lynn and Stark were enthusiastically discussing how the company should run in the future.

Dr. Pym always brought his daughter with him to the base.

Although Dr. Pym has this or that shortcoming, and although he himself is not a good person.

But actually he is not that bad.

After all, Scott was caught by Stark because he accepted his mission.

Even if he didn't want to pay attention to Scott, he had to at least rescue Scott first.

What's more, what he wants is still stored in Stark's base.

Whatever the reason, he had to come to the base.

"What an idiot! I shouldn't have sent him on this mission."

Standing in front of Stark's base, Dr. Pym cursed.
