Convincing Tony Stark was harder than he thought, the guy who was always at odds with his father had actually respected his father the most deep down, and convincing him that his father had turned out to be a bad man was harder than convincing him that the sun was green.
In the end, Tony Stark agrees to go forward with Eric to investigate, and the condition is that Eric first heals his mother.
This was easy, and Eric didn't hide anything, sharing his years of EMP research with Tony straight away, and the two teamed up, quickly building an exaggeratedly shaped helmet, snapping it on for Maria, and debugging it together for a bit.
Seeing that Maria was back to normal
Eric then pulled Tony away to prepare for the big fight that was to come.
"Not only does your father have the legacy of the Brotherhood of the Shield in his hands, but he also has the Eye of the Watcher; the two of us alone won't be enough, we'll need more men!"
"Hey! I'm just investigating with you to prove my father's innocence, I'm not going to do anything to him!" Tony immediately said he would never help him find someone to beat up his own father, let alone help him find an accomplice, and waved his hand and went home to prepare his battle armour.
Eric didn't have much hope for him either, the playboy seemed to have a wide range of contacts, but in fact the ones he knew before were either businessmen, politicians or beautiful women, to put it bluntly, none of them could fight.
It's up to Eric to find someone, and he'll have to think hard about who he's going to get.
First of all, no mutants!
He himself is a mutant, and Howard knows this, and will be 100% prepared with an X-Gene suppressor. He himself is fine, having lost the big one of magnetism, he still has the three which are the gravity, strong and weak force.
Secondly, the ones that are too dangerous cannot be chosen.
For example, Jean Grey, the Phoenix host of the day, and the green angry guy with four hands, Hulk.
Through the Eye of the Watcher, Howard knew everyone's secrets and weaknesses, and if these two went, they would be in for a treat in case Howard counter-controlled them.
"Psylocke is a mutant and has too much backstage to go. Juggernaut, Barton, those are the only two I seem to have on my team? Why didn't I form a group or something sooner ..." When it comes to people, Eric thought about it and only two of his men could actually go.
After teleporting to Xavier's Academy of Genius to bring in the sleeping Juggernaut, and then to Japan to bring back Barton from his holiday, Eric's army was assembled ...
This is a fucking death sentence, right? One of them is sleeping on his money and the other is wandering around the world on his money, both of them are pampered and are getting fat as pandas.
No, we have to bring in someone else!
The first thing Eric thought of was Reed, and made a phone call.
What had he been doing? He'd gone to Doom's space station. Even more coincidentally, as soon as he called, there was a scream and an ear-splitting alarm, and vaguely, Eric heard the general idea that the solar storm had landed early and that Doom's space station had been destroyed.
The Fantastic Four are born! Another big missed scene ...
"A solar storm! Isn't that something we can take advantage of?" Eric closed his eyes, his powerful magnetic senses spreading upwards, feeling the bursts of electromagnetic waves coming from above his head, half-heartedly shaking his head regretfully, this solar storm contained many strange energy rays, the very things that had caused the mutation of Reed and the others.
These rays were very strange, and at this juncture, Eric didn't dare to mess with them, what if they mutated Howard?
Reed couldn't come, so Eric turned to Kamar Taj. If the techs couldn't come, let's bring in some wizards!
Unfortunately, his plans were foiled once again, as he had just found the door to the New York Sanctuary when he was forcibly expelled by a magical force. It looked like the New York Sanctuary's defences were in full swing and should be fighting some dimensional demon.
Who can save the world these days?
With technology and magic both falling off the grid, Eric could only continue to pick generals out of dwarfs.
"Captain America, Blade, Tchakka, barely, Well, no one from S.H.I.E.L.D. can go! Damn, if only Carol was there."
"Wait, Carol!" Eric narrowed his eyes and let out an eerie laugh, his fingers flicking unconsciously in the air as his magnetic powers were involuntarily brought to bear.
At that moment, Tony, who had gone to prepare the battle armour, suddenly returned, and the sight in the room almost made him scream.
He saw Eric standing alone in the shadows, a creepy smile on his face and a creepy sound coming out of his mouth, his fingers drawing symbols in the air, and all sorts of metal objects floating around him.
It was a scene that was just a top hat away from those evil wizards in the movies!
"Erik? Voldemort is here?" Tony bravely stepped forward and cautiously approached Eric.
"Oh, sorry!" Eric woke up instantly, embarrassed to see the look on Tony's face, "That, I'm actually a mutant, see!"
With that, a dinner knife floated up from the floor and morphed in front of Tony.
"A mutant?" Tony looked Eric up and down, "Magnetic field?"
"Yes! My power is to control magnetic fields, so Tony, it's not that I'm smarter than you that I can invent those things, it's that magnetic fields are more intuitive to me!" It was only a matter of time before his powers were revealed as he was going to be fighting side by side in a few minutes anyway, so it was good to tell him a bit first to balance his mind.
"Oh dear! Finally some good news!" Tony clapped his hands exaggeratedly, "You finally admit you're not as smart as me! That's great news!"
...
While Eric was preparing in earnest for his final push against the evil Howard, on the other hand, the evil Howard was not idle either.
Underground Rome, the Immortal City, where Howard once again set foot after many years.
"The Immortal City, ah, what a shame!" Howard looked at the ruined walls before him with a look of regret.
"Howard, what are you doing here?" Michelangelo stepped out of the void with a puzzled look on his face. The Eye of the Watcher protected Howard and Michelangelo could no longer see what Howard was doing in the timeline.
Howard turned and looked at Michelangelo, who was emitting a golden light, and the corners of his mouth turned up, "Michelangelo, my brother, the world needs a little dedication from you!"
