Chapter 176 Parade(1/2)
“The Superhero Registration Act—The Unknown Victims!”
"..."Frontline" reporter Clark Kent reported that the "Superhero Registration Act" may not be as good as imagined. The registration act gave great power to the Superhuman Behavior Oversight Committee, which also led to many "innocents"
of victims have suffered the effects of the law.”
"According to specific sources, there may be more secrets behind the unrest that occurred at the Thunder Agents base on Governors Island not long ago. According to the "prisoners" who escaped from the Thunder Agents base,
Look, most of them are "superheroes" who have appeared in New York, and according to what they revealed in the media, the Thunder Agents are arresting them through the "Superhero Registration Act"!
"
"They completely ignored my explanation..."
"I haven't been a superhero in a long time."
"I'm not a criminal, why should I be imprisoned?"
"Specific people said that this was an illegal secret arrest operation. Under the instructions of the committee, the Thunder Agents arrested those superheroes who opposed registration in order to silence them. These "superheroes"
"Detained in a secret prison on the base and treated like prisoners, they saved New York City but became criminals."
"These "superheroes" who escaped from Governors Island were sent to a nearby hospital for medical evaluation. At least more than 70% of them suffered from nutritional deficiencies. You must know that before this, these "superheroes"
"Heroes" are all very strong beings who can easily subdue criminals. At the same time, at least 60% of the personnel have psychological problems, and more than 30% of the "superheroes" have made it clear that they will not return to the streets to fight crime."
"This is a nightmare, and now I just want to return to a peaceful life."
"I want to leave New York and go back to the farm. Maybe that's where I belong."
"I'm just an ordinary person. I can't even save myself, so why should I save others?"
Not long after "Frontline" exposed the Thunderbolts scandal.
Soon the New York Times and other media supporting the federal government quickly published reports to refute "Frontline". The New York Times quoted more than a hundred joint letters from Thunderbolts insiders, generating Clark Kent's report full of
It is a disgusting and dangerous accusation based on all kinds of conjectures and distortions, and its purpose is just for yourself.
"An anonymous person claimed that Clark Kent disregarded the impartiality of reporters and fabricated this scandal, which caused considerable harm to the Thunderbolts and related personnel who have been working hard to protect New York City."
"We are working hard for this city. Because of the incident on Governors Island, a large number of colleagues were sacrificed and seriously injured, including members of the Thunderbolts, but Clark Kent only thought about his own interests."
American social media platforms have completely blocked discussion of this issue, which eventually led to "Frontline" being banned from Twitter.
However, "Frontline" soon made a counterattack.
Jameson, the former boss of the Daily Bugle, published his views on the news on his online news station that day.
"This is a targeted time. These media bought by the government have lost their own judgment. They are the ones who violate their professionalism. The New York Times, FakeNes! (Fake News!)"
Later, "Frontline" released a full version of the news report on the social media platform. In the picture, the "superheroes" who were once familiar to New Yorkers looked weaker than they remembered and talked about their past.
Persecution encountered in the secret prison of Governors Island.
Social platforms want to block it, but they obviously underestimate the spread speed of online media.
Almost within half an hour, this report was reposted by major self-media, and many people intercepted the clips, triggering huge discussions and controversy on the Internet.
The public outcry over the incarceration of "superheroes" was almost unanimous.
That night, more than tens of thousands of people marched on the streets to protest against the illegal imprisonment of "superheroes" by the Thunderbolts.
The protesters started at 6 o'clock and marched from Union Square along Fifth Avenue to Washington Square. People continued to join the protesters along the way.
A New York police officer estimated that the protest crowd reached at least 13,000 people.
Earlier in the march, whistleblower reporter Clark Kent also joined the protest, holding a megaphone and expressing his protest against the Thunderbolts and the Superhuman Behavior Oversight Commission.
"They are trying to eliminate the truth and deceive us!"
“The New York Times, FakeNes! (Fake News!)”
Along the way, Clark Kent shouted slogans to express his dissatisfaction.
…
"I have already said that this approach will cause unnecessary trouble..."
"In that case, why didn't you vote against it before?"
Anti-World, an internal meeting of the Superhuman Behavior Oversight Committee.
Participating committee members expressed their views on the march and protest.
"The situation has already happened. It is useless to look into the past now. The most important thing now is how to deal with the current crisis."
"The protests of the march have already had an impact on the Superhero Registration Act, and there are vague plans within the White House to stop the continuation of the law."
"We must not let this happen."
Soon, members of the Oversight Committee expressed their opposition.
Their rights all come from the Superhero Registration Act. Once the law is suspended or restricted, it will be equivalent to reducing the rights of the committee.
"But what should we do? The situation in prisons has a great impact on the credibility of the committee. At present, more than 70% of the people have expressed opposition or non-support for the Superhero Registration Act?"
"Maybe we can put a blackout on the news."
"Block it, how to block it? Now the entire online platform is full of interview videos of a few "superheroes"."
"Let the reporter who did the interview clarify."
"Do you think it's possible?"
In the conference room, the committee had a heated debate on how to deal with this problem.
However, the results are not optimistic.
Most of the members were helpless about what was happening in front of them.
Fortunately, Alexander Pierce, the chairman of the meeting as the convener of the meeting, had already anticipated this situation.
"Under the current situation, we can only sacrifice the Thunder Agents."
After speaking, Alexander Pierce spoke slowly to stop everyone's meaningless quarrel.
"did you mean?"
After hearing Alexander Pierce's words, the eyes of the committee members changed.
"Put all the responsibilities on the Thunder Agents. The problems that happened on Furnas Island were originally their responsibility. What we are doing now is just to return these responsibilities to them."
Hearing Alexander's words, although the members of the committee were a little moved, some also expressed uneasy views: "However, the Thunder Agent Team has always performed well in operations. If it is disbanded because of this problem, then
Will it also cause trouble for the implementation of the Superhero Registration Act?"
The committee is not worried about the Thunderbolts, but about its own rights.
After all, the Thunderbolts exist to implement the ideas of their committee.
"I have already prepared for this."
His eyes lingered on the committee member who spoke. In fact, the other person was arranged by Alexander.
"Come in."
As Alexander finished speaking, a gloomy-looking figure appeared in the secret meeting of the committee.
"who is he?"
"Harry Osborne."
"It turned out to be him, but why did you invite him to the meeting?"
During the holographic projection meeting, there was some commotion among the committee members. It was obvious that they did not know about Harry Osborn's appearance in advance.
"Next, Mr. Harry Osborne will be responsible for the formation of the new Thunder Agents."
…
"How's it going?"
In Hydra Building, Helmut took off his glasses and wiped them and asked.
"Banner's condition is currently stable."
As Helmut finished speaking, Dr. Zola's head appeared on the screen in front of him.
"The brainwashing effect is good. He has forgotten what he saw in the laboratory."
Nodding, Helmut looked away from the monitoring of Banner's laboratory, and then said: "The research and development of Ultron?"
"Some trouble."
Hearing Helmut's words, Dr. Zola's face on the screen frowned humanely: "Hank Pym's research and development on the brain wave pattern, even I can't completely decipher it.
Artificial intelligence has entered a very deep field."
The research fields of Dr. Zola and Hank Pym are somewhat similar, but the directions of their research have completely different effects.
Hank Pym uses brainwave pattern input to allow artificial intelligence to simulate human thinking.
Dr. Zola, on the other hand, is better at the transmission of consciousness. Through this technology, he successfully transmitted his thoughts to the computer and achieved alternative immortality.
However, this kind of eternal life is not without flaws.
