Tony, Jarvis, is the Captain America you're talking about the one I read about in books?" Pepper, who was listening nearby, asked, a bit unsure.
"If Jarvis's information is correct, then yes, it's that Captain America."
"But Pepper, you don't need to be too surprised. We've all joined the Void and come into contact with a new World."
"For a guy who supposedly died in history to suddenly revive, while a bit rare, it's not impossible." Tony said casually, pouring himself a drink.
"Jarvis, display the data related to Captain America's combat record." Tony instructed.
"Yes." Jarvis immediately displayed all the data related to Captain America's past combat records and the abilities his physical body exhibited.
"He has two tons of strength, huh? While it can grow, the Super Serum's modification capabilities are ultimately limited. He can't achieve bullet-proof skin. Looks like his strength isn't that great." Tony said, taking a sip of his drink and giving Captain America's data a very low evaluation.
Under circumstances where he could fully utilize the Iron Man Armor's performance, he was confident he could engage in a full-blown battle with the supersonic Renoli.
Fighting an opponent of Captain America's strength was no different from fighting ordinary Terrorists.
Even his initial four or five generations of Iron Man Armor could directly instantly defeat opponents of that level.
Captain America's physical quality far exceeded that of ordinary people, but if he couldn't withstand bullets with his body, his life-saving ability would be very average. A few weapons could easily deal with him.
"Although he's not very strong, Nick Fury will probably recruit him into the Avengers," Jarvis said.
Having traveled to Xandar and connected to the Universe's network, Jarvis's horizons had expanded greatly.
Captain America's strength was, at most, equivalent to a member who had just joined the Void God Cult from Void Island not long ago.
As for those who had been with the Void God Cult for a longer time, or those who inherently possessed superpowers, Captain America's strength, though far exceeding that of ordinary people, was indeed not impressive at all.
"Although his physical capabilities, far exceeding ordinary people, aren't strong in the Universe, Captain America can still deal with Terrorists on Blue Star."
"Nick Fury doesn't have many people under his command right now, so it's not surprising for him to recruit him."
"Compared to his news, pay more attention to the various locations. Alien invasions are the most important thing." Tony said.
Only after dealing with the alien invasion would he have time to explore the Universe and unleash himself, instead of being constrained on Blue Star.
Therefore, Tony was extremely concerned about the alien invasion, even hoping they would come sooner so he could resolve it and then safely go out and have some fun.
"Yes." Jarvis immediately replied.
Afterward, Tony chatted with Pepper for a while, then continued his technological research. He had acquired a lot of knowledge that needed time to be verified before it could be transformed into his own wealth and combat power.

Then, a month passed, and the time came to May.
In a house in the Brooklyn district of New York.
A handsome, well-built man with blond hair and blue eyes was looking at the room, whose furnishings were extremely similar to those of the past.
Steve Rogers had been awake for three days now.
He had also learned that he had been frozen for decades and had been revived in modern 2011.
During these decades, America had developed rapidly, and many things had been added. Perhaps some people had fantasized about traveling to the future.
But when he actually experienced it, he found that most of the people he had known in the past had already died.
Yet he himself still maintained his youthful appearance.
There was a feeling of being in a strange World, which did not make Steve feel happy or excited about the modern era.
Steve looked at all the old things in the room, and then at the bustling, prosperous scene outside the window, feeling a sense of loneliness.
However, since he had been revived, Steve certainly wouldn't commit suicide.
No matter what, he wanted to see what America, for which he had once served, had now become.
So Steve walked out of his house and onto the bustling streets. Many of the shops and people from his memory had long disappeared, replaced by various skyscrapers.
People seemed so small among these skyscrapers.
Steve walked through the district, observing everything around him, until he saw a building with incredibly poor aesthetics. After seeing "Stark Industries" marked on the building, he sat down in a coffee shop.
Fortunately, even though decades had passed, the language hadn't changed much, so it wasn't difficult for him to communicate with people.
Steve drank his coffee while looking at the exceptionally flamboyant building.
He could tell that Stark Industries had withstood the ravages of time; after decades, there were no signs of decline, but rather it had developed extremely well.
Otherwise, it wouldn't have been possible to build such a skyscraper in this central location of New York.
He had also read in the newspaper that the current controller of Stark Industries was Tony Stark, the son of Howard Stark.
Both father and son were genius inventors, possessing minds and wisdom ahead of their time.
However, compared to the self-disciplined Howard Stark, his son Tony Stark was more flamboyant and even more ostentatious than Howard.
As far as he knew, Tony Stark was born in 1970, making him forty-one years old now, and he didn't seem to be married. Instead, he was immersed in playing the role of a hero, adored by countless people, and called himself Iron Man.
For Steve, who had experienced the cruelty of War, Tony Stark's behavior was like a child's game of make-believe.
After finishing his coffee, as Steve had just returned to his home, a bald black man wearing an eye patch appeared in Steve's house.
"Who are you?" Steve asked, his eyes narrowing slightly as he looked at the bald black man, though he showed no fear.
"My name is Nick Fury, Director of S.H.I.E.L.D."
"It was I who successfully rescued you from the ice and brought you back to consciousness."
"I think we need to talk." Nick Fury said, sitting on a single armchair, looking at Steve.
"It seems I don't need to introduce myself. So, Director Nick Fury of S.H.I.E.L.D., what do you want to talk about?" Steve said, leaning against the wall with his arms crossed, looking at the other man, knowing he had indeed been saved by S.H.I.E.L.D. after hearing that Nick Fury was the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D..
"You are a Super Soldier who was injected with the Super Serum. If you count the years you were frozen, you are much older than me."
"Following the principle of respecting the old and loving the young, you can just call me Fury." Nick Fury said.
