...

The next day, early in the morning.

Clark woke up and smiled as he smelled the faint scent still lingering around him.

"Clark, breakfast is ready. Don't you have an interview?"

Hope walked into the room and gave Clark a slight smile.

Clark responded, lazily stood up, jumped out of bed, ran to the bathroom, and gently kissed Hope's lips.

Hope touched her lips and couldn't help but laugh.

After washing up and having breakfast, Clark, who was in San Francisco, said goodbye to Hope and flew back to New York to go to the company and head to the press conference.

When he arrived, the reporters attending the press conference had already begun to enter the venue.

Clark checked the tools he needed to bring to make sure nothing was missing, then headed to the site with his work pass.

The press conference started promptly at 9:00 AM.

After the Ministry of National Defense spokesperson seemed to spend all day talking about defending the country and making America great, the long-awaited main event has finally arrived.

The seven "Guardians" superheroes took the stage amidst the eager gaze of the crowd.

They appeared before the audience in their unchanging red and black battle robes, looking dashing and heroic.

Several men gave brief self-introductions, and General Ross of the Thunder Team, as the team leader, stood at the head of the crowd and said: "Guardians, we will take it as our mission to protect the people, protect the country, and even protect the earth, to fight criminals and evil, and keep threats away from you."

Clark mingled in the crowd, clapping enthusiastically, but his gaze wandered over the superheroes before finally settling on the one who was lost in thought.

Compared to others, the Stone Man's abilities are the easiest to detect.

Because he, like his contemporary, was made of stone: his entire skin disappeared into orange stone.

After using super vision to scan, Clark discovered that the organs inside the stone human body had also changed.

"Its strength and defense must be very strong."

Clark muttered to himself, his face expressionless.

Chapter 1195 I greatly admire him

Just then, General Raiden-Ross finally finished his speech and moved on to the capability demonstration phase.

The reporters were in high spirits.

That's exactly what they were waiting for, no matter who said those nice words.

Ross pointed at himself and War Machine Rhodes and laughed: "It's just the two of us, no need to show off."

As he said this, he pointed to Falcon, played by Sam Wilson: "Although Falcon doesn't have superpowers, he's an excellent soldier with strong combat skills, and I personally admire him very much."

Falcon walked into the crowd, saluted, and then stood up.

Ross smiled and pointed at Mr. Fantastic Reed Richards, saying, "Mr. Fantastic, the most talented scientist on our team, with his abilities... Reed!"

He cried softly.

A very elegant, scholarly-looking Mr. Reed walked out helplessly and extended his hand to the reporters in the distance.

The hand stretched out like a rubber band, took off the reporter's hat, and led it to him.

Seeing this, everyone gasped in surprise.

Mr. Magic Reed nodded to the crowd, then reached out and returned the hat. 11

Seeing the reporters' expressions, Ross nodded in satisfaction and continued, "Invisible Woman, the only woman in our team, her abilities are evident from her name."

The Invisible Woman, the Invisible Woman?

Everyone was stunned, and then they saw Susan disappear into thin air.

Everyone stared wide-eyed, but couldn't see him. Instead, Susan, with her blonde hair, blue eyes, and delicate features, appeared behind the figure and gave everyone a weak smile.

Ross gave a weak smile.

Despite being nicknamed "Invisible Woman," Susan possesses real superpowers in addition to invisibility.

However, Susan's other ability is still under development and doesn't need to be shown. Moreover, keeping some secrets appropriately is also beneficial to their team.

"This is..."

Ross pointed to the lightning.

"Hello, my name is Johnny Stone, you can call me Thunderbolt, and Susan is my sister."

As he spoke, he loosened his fingers, flames enveloping his hand. He smiled at the crowd: "Flame, this is all I can do. Of course, if I wish, I can also..."

Johnny!

Ross made a swallowing motion.

Johnny Stone shrugged and dispersed the flames in his hand: "What it can do is a secret for now, but I'll show you when I have the chance."

Hearing this, the audience was somewhat disappointed.

However, they noticed that this Thunderbird bore a striking resemblance to the handsome Captain America.

“Stoneer, Ben Graham!”

Ross pointed to the last stone golem.

The stone man touched his head, saluted the crowd, and then said to the urn, "You've all seen my superpowers."

He paused, then added, "I'm too strong to show off here, and it wouldn't look good anyway."

Compared to others, although he gained superpowers, he turned into a stone man, which made him feel bitter and even somewhat inferior.

Ross laughed and explained, "He's a shy guy."

"Now, it's time for open questions."

As soon as Ross finished speaking, a reporter raised his hand.

"Madam, is there a problem?"

Ross smiled at the reporter.

The female reporter adjusted her glasses: "What is the relationship between your Guardians of the Galaxy and the Avengers? Is it cooperation or competition?"

“We are all superheroes, we are all fighting crime. The Avengers are experienced and there is a lot we can learn from them. I believe that our team of heroes created by the Department of Defense will soon be able to catch up with them.”

"Next person."

Ross pointed to another reporter.

"Is the Department of Defense creating a superhero team because it's dissatisfied with the existing superhero team system?"

"It is undeniable that the current superhero teams are all independent organizations with some irregularities, but I believe that these superhero teams will solve these problems."

"After the Guardians are formed, will the Avengers and X-Men also become government-controlled teams like the Guardians?"

"This is an issue that both sides need to work together to resolve."

Ross maintained his smile and pointed to Clark, who had raised his hand, saying, "Do you have a question?"

Clark muttered loudly, "What stance will you take in dealing with dangerous incidents going forward?"

Ross lowered his eyes and smiled: "When we deal with a crisis, of course we stand on the opposite side of evil and on the side of protecting the people."

"No, what I mean is, as a team under the government's jurisdiction, would you handle events that occur in other countries but benefit the United States? In what capacity would you be involved? Or would you be following the government's orders?"

Upon hearing Clark's question, the reception area fell into complete silence.

The reporters stared in shock at Clark, who had raised the question, before turning their attention to Ross.

The question is very pointed.

The guardian superheroes looked in different directions, clearly pondering the question.

Not only them, but everyone is thinking about this question right now.

But after thinking it over, they came to different answers.

All eyes turned to Ross, awaiting his answer.

Ross murmured to himself, then replied firmly, "I believe our government will make the right choice."

In general, the government bears a great deal of responsibility for this problem.

Clark adjusted his glasses, about to continue asking questions, when General Ross waved his hand: "Enough with the open questions, we have an important announcement to make."

He gestured an invitation to the defense minister, who had stepped aside, and then walked toward the podium.

The Secretary of Defense stepped onto the 720 stage and said, "General Ross is right. In addition to announcing the formation of the Guardians superhero team today, there is another important thing to do."

He paused, then smiled: "The mutant problem plagues the entire world."

"Although the situation is different now because of the existence of School X, you can't deny that they have very serious misconduct."

“They can harm others when their abilities are awakened, when they are emotionally agitated, when they lose their moral restraint, and even endanger national security.”

Most people nodded silently in agreement.

The Defense Minister continued, "But from today! From this moment on! I declare that this will no longer be a problem!"
