For a moment, Tony Stark's mood was incredibly complex. By figuring out Spider-Man's age, he could infer that his own death would be, at the latest, sometime in 2017.
This was, without a doubt, a bolt from the blue.
He had less than ten years left to live. What could he possibly accomplish in such a short time?
He'd always considered himself a genius! And yet, he wouldn't even outlive the average person?
But why would he die so young?
A myriad of thoughts flashed through Tony Stark's mind in an instant.
The most likely possibility, of course, was that he'd died in battle.
He'd already considered this, because being a superhero often meant risking everything. Ever since he became Iron Man, he'd prepared for the day he might die on a battlefield.
But now, another possibility occurred to him. In Lin Feng's previous video diaries, he saw that the Arc Reactor was placed inside his body. That brought up another problem: palladium poisoning.
This was something he had seen at a glance before!
And palladium poisoning was difficult to get rid of. He didn't know why his future self would put the Arc Reactor in his chest, but since there was such a possibility, that meant his future self had another cause of death?
If that was the case, it was actually easier!
Because this time, he wouldn't put the Arc Reactor in his chest unless he was crazy.
For a moment, his thoughts were racing.
"First of all, the time. Roughly, it should be in 2017, but now there's another character, Mysterio. He sounds like a superhero too, defeating the Elementals and banishing them to the spacetime rift. He sounds like a good guy, but now this good guy died at the hands of Spider-Man. Can we assume that this Peter Parker has gone dark?" Hawkeye Barton said, looking a bit incredulous. "Is it possible that this isn't the Spider-Man from our timeline, but one from another timeline who has gone dark for some reason?"
Everyone thought about it, and it didn't seem impossible.
"But I don't lean towards that possibility. Because judging from Lin Feng's attitude recorded in the diary, it seems to be playful, teasing, teasing Peter Parker for making a mistake, rather than thinking he has gone dark!" Nick Fury shook his head and then said.
Everyone thought about it, and it seemed to be true. Since Lin Feng started writing his diary, he hadn't been shy about teasing many superheroes, but from the tone of the teasing, it was also likely to judge whether they had gone dark or not.
So, this also has some reference value.
Now, there are two possibilities. Quentin Beck was killed by Spider-Man, Peter Parker. Either Quentin Beck has a problem, or Spider-Man has a problem. If they lean towards Spider-Man, Peter Parker, not having a problem, then it's Peter Parker who has a problem.
"I tend to think Peter Parker is not the problem!" Tony Stark slowly said. "Peter Parker is considered the first favorite son of our Marvel universe, the eternal protagonist, by Lin Feng. Since he's the protagonist, he shouldn't be a bad guy. Although it's possible he's a result of being corrupted in a certain timeline, I tend to think it's not that, and I lean towards the idea that they're fighting for the title of becoming the second Iron Man!"
Tony Stark was a little proud when he said this. Although he was dead, his legacy, his name, would still be fought over, which meant he was recognized by society.
That's good!
"And there's another point. Even if we don't believe our own judgment, I think we can trust the judgment of Doctor Strange. Although I'm dead in the future, he chose to help Peter Parker between Quentin Beck and Peter Parker, so I think the probability of Peter Parker being a good person is relatively high!" Tony Stark couldn't help but say.
Everyone thought about it, and it was true, that's the way it is!
They really didn't know what happened in the future nine years later. It seemed unclear who was good or bad between these two people. Spider-Man is a street hero, but this Quentin Beck was also a warrior from another dimension in other people's mouths, not a bad person either.
But they didn't have enough information to judge, which didn't mean that Doctor Strange in the future didn't. So from this perspective, who was good and who was bad was obvious.
And this, obviously, was what Lin Feng mentioned in the previous diary, that Peter Parker had exposed his identity, and Doctor Strange would help him deal with the exposure of his identity in the future.
Tony Stark originally wanted to say, "So what if his identity is revealed?
It's not a big deal." But then he remembered how he and Pepper almost died in the future because of his exposed identity, and he immediately shut up.
"So we can sort out this timeline a bit. A week before Spider-Man's identity was revealed, the London attack happened. This event should have involved Spider-Man and Mysterio's conflict, even leading to Mysterio's death. After that, Peter Parker asked Doctor Strange to solve this problem, which then triggered the multiverse-level crisis that Lin Feng mentioned. It seems that even in the future, this world won't be very peaceful!" Nick Fury lamented.
The group analyzed a lot of information from the video's brief content.
Tony Stark noticed the mention of drones. The concept of drones had been proposed in this world a long time ago, but their development was only so-so.
It was one of the combat methods imagined for the future.
Currently, major countries were researching them, but mainly for drone reconnaissance. Because they are small, fly far, can be remotely controlled, don't need a pilot, and don't need rest, they are good reconnaissance assistants.
But obviously, in ten years, drones could even be used as a combat supplement for superheroes.
Tony Stark had already decided to put the development of drones on the agenda. Although this thing was far less technologically advanced than his Mark Armor, it was still a good supplement, especially when facing a large number of enemies.
And once his mind was opened, his ideas and creativity kept bursting out. If these drones were equipped with cameras and video recorders, they would be ordinary reconnaissance drones. But if they were equipped with some heavy weapons, wouldn't they become heavy armed drones? Moreover, if they were really going for the title of Iron Man's heir, then it meant that these drones were very likely developed by his future self, so he could completely learn from them now.
