I don't know if he was afraid that Russell would be bored, but Sean actually put a few magazines and newspapers on the desk in the office.
Magazine is an aphoristic magazine published exclusively for male readers.
It's in the same category as Playboy magazine.
The only difference is that Maxim magazine is a little more restrained than Playboy magazine.
At least they didn't publish the naked photos of women directly.
There are several Maxim magazines on the table, but without exception, they are all past issues, not one of the current issues.
Like the magazine, the newspaper is also from the past few days, but the current day's version is missing.
Although the landlord Sean is a lavish spender, when it's time to save, this guy is not an ordinary saver.
Since there was no commission to deal with, Russell directly picked up the newspaper on the table and started browsing with a bored look on his face.
"The truth behind the arrest of the villain Rhino Man, the birth of a new hero!"
"Looking for a new hero, who is the mysterious swordswoman?"
"The rise of female power! Invisible Woman, Spider-Woman, and the mysterious Swordswoman may form a new hero team!"
…
What Russell is reading now are various reports about the arrest of the Rhino Man.
The Rhino Man, who was supposed to be the protagonist, was reduced to a background without any suspense in front of the mysterious heroine.
The headlines in the newspaper are more exaggerated than the last, and the content is more exciting than the last.
One of the newspapers swore that the person who defeated the Rhinoceros was not a new heroine at all, but a man with a transvestite.
A transvestite man?
As expected of a media person, he will say anything for the sake of traffic.
Although there are many related reports, there is no useful information at all.
Even Rhino Man, who has fallen into the hands of the New York Police Department, can't tell what the person who defeated him looks like.
After reading the newspaper on the table, Russell picked up the Maxim magazine on the table.
Maxim magazine is indeed a men's magazine, and most of the content in it is very suitable for men.
Especially the choice of cover girls and female models.
What Russell is holding now is the issue from December last year.
The cover girls above are a pair of blond twins with curvy figures and charming looks.
At first, he was attracted by the twins.
However, when he carefully looked at the figure and appearance of the twin girls, he suddenly remembered something.
Maxim Magazine…Twin Girls…December Issue…
etc!
Couldn't this be a home run for Tony Stark's Maxim magazine cover girl!
Thinking of this, Russell opened the "second-hand" computer prepared by the landlord Sean and searched for Tony Stark's name on the Internet.
He is obviously a genius inventor, but when you search for Tony Stark's name, the first thing that comes up is all kinds of tidbits about him.
Female celebrities...female models...female entrepreneurs...female secretaries...
Russell was not interested in knowing that Stark had been dating a female star or model recently.
So, he changed his search term and started searching for Stark Industries news.
After changing the search term to Stark Industries, he quickly found the information he wanted.
"Stark Industries has received another new order from the military, and US military bases in Afghanistan will soon be equipped with 'Jericho' missiles!"
"A terrorist's nightmare! The 'Jericho' missile, the pinnacle of Stark Industries' 'Freedom' series, is officially on sale!"
…
really!
Tony Stark is going to Afghanistan again to sell missiles!
Not long after he traveled to this world, Russell knew that this was not the well-known movie universe.
However, this does not mean that the fate of superheroes will become completely different.
Take Captain America.
Aside from being dug out earlier, Steve Rogers' life trajectory hasn't changed much.
At least for now, that's the case.
Rogers was still the Brooklyn boy who was injected with the super soldier serum. He was the biggest contributor to defeating Hydra, and was finally frozen for decades.
If the turning point of Rogers' fate was the draft physical exam that night at the Stark Industries Expo, then the turning point of Stark's fate was the kidnapping in Afghanistan.
Stark wouldn't have become Iron Man if he hadn't been kidnapped.
A certain parallel universe has proven this with facts.
After browsing the news that Stark Industries was going to sell Jericho missiles to US military bases in Afghanistan, Russell closed the page.
Although he knew that Tony was about to be kidnapped by the Ten Rings Gang, he had no intention of intervening.
Not only that, he was even considering whether to take advantage of this opportunity to short-sell Stark Industries' stock and make a "little" extra money.
Just when he was considering whether to contact his stockbroker, a message suddenly popped up on the system.
"Reward: Endosymbiosis Armor; Status: Inactive; Activation Conditions: Prevent Tony Stark from becoming Iron Man due to kidnapping; Activation Effect: After activation, obtain the Endosymbiosis Armor!"
…
The Endosymbiotic Armor is the armor worn by Tony in the comic "Ultimate Iron Man". It is also called the Symbiote Armor or the White Can Armor.
This is the only silver-white suit among Tony's many armors, except for the unpainted Mark 2.
The endosymbiotic armor is made of all-liquid smart metal, and the way it is worn is to instantly solidify and combine.
Compared with other armors that rely on technical elements for initial binding, the symbiote armor is much more convenient to wear.
What's more, the symbiote suit can be activated telepathically.
The basic materials extracted from the symbiont also have a certain repair ability, similar to the self-repair of the nano-armors Mark 50 and Mark 85.
Because it is plated with a layer of chrome, the armor will look shiny, high-profile and "sexy".
Sexy as hell, this is Tony's own description.
Russell had reservations.
Although the Endosymbiotic Armor is not the most powerful of Tony's many armors, it is definitely the most special one.
Because this is the armor worn by Tony, the estranged villain!
Although it is not yet known how the system will send out the reward of the endosymbiotic armor, the activation conditions for the reward have been turned on, and Russell will never let go of this armor.
White endosymbiotic armor, black venom symbiote!
Black and white, perfect!
After turning off the reward information that popped up on the system, Russell took out his mobile phone and booked a first-class ticket to Afghanistan tomorrow.
After booking the flight, he contacted the Continental Hotel in Afghanistan through the Continental Hotel in New York.
Reserve rooms, vehicles, guns and ammunition, maps of US military bases in Afghanistan...
They haven't set off yet, but Russell is already preparing to spend a few days in Afghanistan.
There are many ways to stop Tony from turning into Iron Man due to the kidnapping.
Kidnap Tony in advance...prevent the Ten Rings gang from kidnapping...rescue Tony and Ethan before he builds Mark 1...
As long as Tony doesn't meet Ethan, or Ethan doesn't die, he won't become Iron Man because of the kidnapping incident.
