Marvel : Nightwing

'Lieberium' Element

Justin Hammer, CEO of Hammer Industries worked alongside Senator Stern in an attempt to damage the public's own view of Stark however it fails and his own public image is badly damaged. After witnessing Ivan Vanko being able to battle Iron Man with his own weaponized armor and miniature arc reactor, Justin Hammer came to a decision to recruit Ivan Vanko in an attempt to replicate Stark's technology. Hammer sees this as an opportunity to help build his own Hammer Armors to compete against Tony's technology. Sitting in his room, Justin decides to make a call.

Smirking to himself in confidence, he said "Hey, I got a job for you! Have you watched Prison Break, I need you to do something similar" before laughing to himself.

Midtown High (Monday)

POV : Harry

My investigation on the new crime boss has not brought any new leads as I pondered who is the new possible villain. Currently the news media is discussing Iron Man's fight with Whiplash with Senator Stern leading the charge in criticizing Tony Stark. Everyone including the students in Midtown High is discussing the fight between Iron Man and Whiplash.

Before class begins, some of the classmates are watching the news on Flash's smartphone as Senator Stern with full of passion said "It is just unbelievable but it proves that the genie is out of the bottle and this man has no idea what he's doing! He thinks of the Iron Man weapon as a toy. I was at a hearing where Mr Stark, in fact, was adamant that these suits can't exist anywhere else, don't exist anywhere else, never will exist anywhere else, at least for five to ten years, and here we are in Monaco realizing, these suits exist now!"

Senator Stern concluded "Tony Stark has the moral responsibility to turn over the Iron Man technology to the United States Government".

Flash smugly looks at his friends that gathered around him saying "See that, Iron Man is useless without his armor. Spider-Man will not be so lame like him, he just needs one punch and he will floor the guy! Just like this 'Wham!' and "Pow!. Right Peter!".

"Er... right! but Iron Man armor and weapons look cool!" Peter replied slightly flustered.

"What we need is raw power! Look at Tony, he is total a wimp without his armor just like Peter here! Ops... Sorry Peter, no offense man! Old habit" Flash said chuckling as he put his right arm on Peter's shoulder.

"Sure no problem" Peter replied feeling slightly uncomfortable.

As Peter escaped Flash grasp, Peter approached me and Ned saying "What do you think about it, guys? I was surprised someone was able to replicate Tony's miniature arc reactor tech".

Before I could reply, Ned interrupted me by saying "So what? Look at that whip guy, he still lost to Iron Man. It is a cheap knock off of Iron Man's suit, no ...it is more like an exoskeleton... Just one shot to the head and 'wham' he will be dead".

"That is not what Peter is trying to say Ned. What he meant is that with the miniature arc reactor technology out there, imagine the weapons that they can build if it falls into the wrong hands" I said calmly as I explained to Ned of the situation.

Pondering to himself, Ned determinedly replied "I believe Tony will be able to build something to beat all those weapons easily. He is a tech whiz, he will surely find a way!".

Peter sighed to himself before saying "I really hope so".

I sigh too as I hope that my existence in the Marvel Universe will not negatively affect, Tony's ability to successfully overcome his current predicament.
