Arthur and Harry were both nominated by Peter to join the organization. The kind-hearted Peter sincerely hoped to help these two friends caught in a whirlwind of problems. However, both were considered 'problematic individuals.' Harry's issues were relatively minor, as people saw that he truly turned over a new leaf in the future.
Arthur was more controversial. The Joker's terror, evilness, and destructiveness left a deep impression on the superheroes, making them feel that even without the world-destroying powers of villains like Thanos or Hela, his level of danger was not low.
Despite a future video of Arthur showing his pitiful, sad, and lamentable side, there's a saying that a pitiful person must have a detestable aspect. Even though Peter reassured them multiple times that Arthur had decided to reform, the superheroes were still full of concerns.
However, during the voting, there wasn't a unanimous opposition. Superheroes like Iron Man, Flash, Colonel Rhodes, and Captain America all cast supportive votes. They didn't necessarily trust Arthur but trusted Peter. Moreover, Captain America and others were persuaded by Peter.
They felt that for a dangerous individual like Arthur, given he has the idea to reform, regardless of whether it's genuine or not, he deserves a chance. Having one more person fighting for peace and justice in the world, and one less madman causing destruction and murder, is undoubtedly a good thing.
However, superheroes like Batman, Wonder Woman, Black Widow, and Superman cast opposing votes. They felt the organization was already large enough, preferring quality over quantity. They could monitor Arthur but saw no need to admit him, fearing he might cause chaos within, which would have severe implications.
Bruce specifically mentioned the Joker's manipulation of Harvey Dent as an example, suggesting that the real danger of such psychopaths wasn't just their reckless behaviour and arson but also their chaotic ideologies and persuasive skills, which could poison some of the more naïve members of the organization...
As he said this, he glanced at Peter, who was obviously embarrassed but still stood by his opinion, hoping to let the two join.
Just as Captain America began to summarize the voting results, an unexpected change occurred. A golden beam of light descended from the sky, penetrated the roof, and enveloped one of the attendees.
Having been through many quiz games, the superheroes, though surprised, remained calm, understanding that this was the start of a quiz game, and curiously looked towards the location where the beam of light fell.
"Wanda... wow, lucky her, I thought it would be me, got excited for nothing."
The golden beam enveloped none other than Wanda. Sitting beside her was Thor, who complained with his hands spread, "It's been so long since I've participated in a quiz game, and my points haven't increased."
Tony teased, "Come on, you think points are that easy to earn? Peter just lost several hundred points not long ago. If you were chosen, not to mention your hammer, even that curtain-like cape of yours would have to be sacrificed."
Captain America looked around, "Is Wanda the only one?"
Bruce closed his eyes in meditation for a moment, then nodded, "I've already contacted the outside world. It's indeed only her, seems like she will be fighting alone like Peter."
Although the Multiverse Defenders was newly formed, its members were all exceptional superheroes. In a short time, they established close connections with multiple worlds. Using the dimensional door, following the footsteps of the quiz games, Bruce continuously explored new worlds. Whenever a quiz game revealed a new world, Bruce would enter and leave some monitoring devices behind.
With the aid of artificial intelligence, the Space Stone, and other treasures, Bruce was able to obtain intelligence on these worlds quickly, mainly to warn against various crises. In addition, it also monitored the movements of the quiz games, just like this time.
Wanda, enveloped in the golden light beam, was a bit nervous. She hadn't participated in many quiz games and, knowing she had no acquaintances to accompany her this time, complained to her brother, Pietro, "If I had known, I wouldn't have come to this boring meeting."
She was reluctant to participate in the quiz game, but Pietro felt the opposite, unfortunately, he had not yet been chosen to play, "If possible, I'd actually like to take your place in the competition."
At this moment, Bruce approached and asked, "Wanda, have you bought a task system from the point shop? If so, see if you can use it to contact me during the game."
Wanda shook her head, "It's too expensive, I don't have enough points."
As they were talking, the golden beam of light gradually disappeared, transporting her to the eternal space of the quiz game. At the same time, a deep and indifferent voice echoed overhead:[Players Wanda Maximoff, Player Logan Howlett, Player Peter Parker, and Player Erik Lehnsherr are all in position. The quiz game is about to begin, please be prepared]
As soon as the voice fell, Wanda noticed beams of light illuminating around her. She first noticed a young boy on her right side and almost instinctively felt familiar, although the face was unfamiliar, Wanda felt a sense of familiarity and asked, "Peter Parker?"
When she first heard the name, she thought it was the Peter she knew, but then she speculated it might be a Peter from another parallel universe. The last quiz game featured a Batman from a parallel universe, so having a Spider-Man this time was not surprising.
This Peter, looking astounded, was observing his surroundings when he heard Wanda and turned to her, "Uh, do you know me?"
"Of course... I mean, I know another you," Wanda shrugged, thinking that at least she was not completely alone this time.
Peter, of course, did not quite understand her, curiously looking around and then at the bearded, burly man next to him, "Uh, hello, do you know where this is?"
"I'd like to know that too!" The bearded, burly man's gaze was as sharp as a wolf's.
The last new player was Erik Lehnsherr on Wanda's left, who looked around with a wary expression.
Wanda made a gesture and took a deep breath to relax, "Listen, don't worry and don't do anything rash. You haven't been kidnapped, more accurately, you've been invited to participate in a quiz game. See that screen? In a bit, it will display some questions, and as long as you answer them, you can leave here."
