The Cuban Missile Crisis made the United States and Russia nervous. At this moment, the only superhero organization in New York City had a conference room that was like a masquerade ball. Masked superheroes gathered here. The main members were Pharaoh, Nite Owl, Silk Spirit, Harlequin, and Rorschach.
The Watchmen were established after the disappearance of Captain America. After Captain America disappeared, a large group of superheroes with "different appearances" appeared. They maintained close contact with the government and jointly maintained social stability.
Of course, masked or not, they're just ordinary people, each with their own identity and job. They're all just ordinary people, but for safety, they imitate Captain America's actions. That's why the Watchers were established, and S.H.I.E.L.D. currently controls them.
"The presence of American missiles in Turkey represents an unprecedented threat to the Soviet people. Soviet Foreign Minister Gromik warned this morning, but he quickly insisted that the Soviet Union would not be the first to provoke military action."
The Watchers stared intently at the screen, their faces all looking grim. Although the Watchers' individual strength was not as strong as Captain America's, they could still maintain peace using advanced technology.
"Okay, what do you think? Our situation is not ideal." The handsome blond young man looked at the members around him and asked softly.
"The situation is like that, but it turns out to be under control, isn't it?" Night Owl Daniel's expression was very serious under his half-covered mask. As a scientist and a superhero, he has many advantages.
After the Watchers' highest authority spoke, Harlequin and Silken were silent, their thoughts hidden beneath Rorschach's mask. Pharaoh was silent for a moment, then began to explain.
"The Hellfire Club, an organization with special abilities." Pharaoh Witt saw the members' surprised expressions and continued, "Special abilities include teleportation and diamondification. These are what we learned from CIA agents. Other abilities are unknown."
"So do we need to beat up those bitches?" The hot-tempered clown Blake, wearing a half-covered black mask, slammed his pistol on the table and said arrogantly.
"The Hellfire Club?" Night Owl pondered for a moment, as if he knew a little about the situation. Then he raised his head and continued, "The newly established chairman of Umbrella recently attacked those guys with robots, and the latter has hidden the strength to challenge them."
"Yes, that's what I wanted to say." Pharaoh clasped his fingers together, his expression extremely serious.
An invisible atmosphere of tension permeated the air. Superpowered beings were too powerful for the Watchers. Anyone capable of fighting them on equal terms must possess considerable power. The mechanical legions, like assembly-line products, demanded even greater caution than genetically mutated humans. After all, as long as they possessed resources, the mechanical legions could grow without limit. That was the true terror of technology.
"Umbrella Corporation was established not long ago, but it possesses various new technologies. S.H.I.E.L.D. is also quite wary of Umbrella Corporation, so they hope that while we investigate the Hellfire Club, we will also investigate the situation of Umbrella Corporation." Pharaoh finished speaking and waited for their response.
"Well, we agree." The members of the Watchers had no objections. They were originally a superhero organization controlled by S.H.I.E.L.D. They had no right to refuse. As superheroes, they were pathetic, becoming pawns and cannon fodder of S.H.I.E.L.D.
The Watchers were a force in the DC Universe, but somehow they were embedded in the Marvel Universe. The Watchers were no problem for Qin Tian. Those guys didn't have strong powers, and a team of mechanical legions could handle them.
In a house of the CIA, after visiting the so-called high-tech, the black-clad bodyguard knocked on the bridge door, bringing Qin Tian back to his senses. He was stunned when he saw the bodyguard at the door.
The bodyguard will only come to me in special circumstances to report important situations.
"Sorry, sir. You will need to deal with it sometime." The bodyguard knocked on the door and said to Qin Tian with a serious face.
"Well, I think I'll leave for a while." Qin Tian saluted as a gentleman, turned around, smiled, and left with his bodyguard.
Charles and Eric nodded, neither of them saying anything. As mutants who had always helped them, it was impossible for them not to be grateful.
On the other side, he found a room with better soundproofing. Qin Tian looked at the bodyguard next to him, hoping to understand what was going on.
"Boss, according to the investigation by our agents in S.H.I.E.L.D., the Watchers, a branch of S.H.I.E.L.D., have begun investigating us, as well as the Hellfire Club."
The bodyguard's words made Qin Tian fall into deep thought. He knew the Watchers well. They were a group of superheroes who imitated Captain America. Although their strength was not very good, they also controlled advanced black technology.
"Really? Let them investigate! If they find anything confidential, we can teach them a lesson." Qin Tian said to the bodyguard with a murderous look on his face. Seeing that Qin Tian didn't care at all, the bodyguard passed on his message without worry.
The Watchers' investigation didn't matter; Umbrella wasn't some weakling like the Hellfire. Genetically modified humans might have a short lifespan, but the Watchers were no match for them at the cost of overdrawing their vitality. Besides, he had thousands of exoskeleton armored troops hidden away, and with the addition of his robotic corps, he could wipe out a lot of things.
Elsewhere, Black Emperor Xiao was hiding in Antarctica, avoiding telepathy. The submarine's black-and-white television was reporting today's news. Upon hearing that the Soviet Union would not initiate military action, Black Emperor sneered and said to the White Queen beside him.
"We will solve that problem. It's just a minor inconvenience. The war will begin."
"What about the CIA people?" asked White Queen John.
"I will definitely get rid of them all." Heihuang Xiao said coldly.
The White Queen frowned using telepathy, and after sensing something was wrong, she reported to the Black Emperor.
"Damn it, there's a problem. That guy with telepathy isn't very far away from us, but we should be able to sense them. However, the situation there seems to be blocked." The White Queen said with a grim expression.
"What do you mean?" Heihuang Xiao was surprised and asked in confusion.
"They are accumulating strength and looking for mutants to cause trouble for us." The White Queen said affirmatively.
But Heihuang Xiao was not worried at all. He took out a metal helmet from the box next to him and put it on.
"This is the helmet Russia gave me. It has the power to block telepathy." Black Emperor Xiao boasted to the Queen with some pride.
