Chapter 565 The Rising Tide
After much persuasion, Coulson successfully brought Charlotte back and prevented a greater riot from happening.
Charlotte just stared at the noisy crowd below with his arms folded across his chest, a look of dissatisfaction on his face. He pointed at his own eyes and carefully memorized the appearance of each person.
call out--
A red flame streaked across the sky, like a missile passing through the sky, and then a dark golden figure fell down amid the exclamations of the people around and landed in front of Steve.
Standing up, Stark's visor popped up, revealing his serious and tired face.
Stark and Steve's eyes met briefly, and then Stark turned around and looked at the bustling crowd. He said loudly:
“Just now, the Senate and the House of Representatives passed the bill unanimously, and the President has also signed it. The Superpower Registration Act will take effect immediately.
All superpowered people must register their identities with the government and disclose their real names, abilities, and secret identities.
Extremely dangerous superpowers need to be regulated.
Superpowers need to be supervised and deployed to reduce collateral damage during operations and focus forces on dealing with larger threats.
Unregistered superpowers will be considered illegal and face arrest and sanctions..."
Listening to Stark's words, Steve's eyes changed slightly and his brows locked.
The first thing he thought of was not the privacy, security and freedom of the super-powered people, but the unreliable American government.
Politicians are very likely to abuse their power, and superpowers are likely to be exploited and even turned into weapons of power...
After hearing Stark's words, the crowd in front of him cheered, but the super-powered people on the rooftop of the Water Group began to talk.
Banner expressed his opposition immediately. He gritted his teeth, his eyes full of green bloodshot, and he was obviously suppressing the anger in his heart.
"This is impossible!
I absolutely will not register, let alone obey the military's dispatch and supervision!
I don't believe them! They don't deserve to be believed...
No matter what your choice is, I will fight to the end!"
Not far behind him, Charlotte had a blank expression on his face. It was even more impossible for him to register.
The superpower registration bill? It's ridiculous to even think about it.
Charlotte jumped down from the roof, flashed, and appeared behind Stark in an instant.
Charlotte glanced coldly at the crowd of people showing off their power not far away, and looked at Steve beside her.
"As Captain America, are you going to lead by example and sign the registration bill?"
"This..." Steve looked at Stark with an indecisive expression on his face.
Although his identity and abilities are no secret to the world, this does not mean that Steve is willing to give up his personal freedom and gamble on the credit and justice of the American government.
On the contrary, in his opinion, these politicians have no justice or integrity in their hearts.
Not to mention that the US president changes every four years, and the bill that takes effect today is very likely to change overnight...
Seeing Steve's hesitation, Stark persuaded him:
“Steve…
Pepper and Happy were sent to the ICU by the sudden explosion.
There were countless casualties at the New York State Supreme Court, and all of this could have been stopped!
If we had known his abilities in advance and detected his abnormality, none of this would have happened...
Steve~We need to be prepared!
Because every super-powered person is a time bomb that may explode at any time, and the fuse of this bomb is always firmly in their own hands.
As more and more people with super powers emerge, there will be more and more uncontrollable factors.
This is only the first time it has happened, but no one can guarantee whether it will happen a second or third time...
team leader……
Superpowers need to be regulated.”
Steve opened his mouth, but looked at Stark's haggard face and serious eyes, and still didn't say any words of comfort or rejection.
Charlotte took a step forward, glanced at the crowd of people watching the excitement, and sneered:
“Politicians are only interested in profit. Can you ensure that the privacy and security of superpowers will not be affected after they register?
Can you guarantee that people with super powers won't be forced to do things they don't want to do?"
After two seconds of silence, Stark said with a firm look in his eyes:
“For the safety and trust of the vast majority of people, the interests of superpowers are worth sacrificing.
And... the current Super Power Registration Act has indeed come into effect, but we all know that a law is always full of loopholes when it is first introduced, and such a law is not sound.
What we should do is to add to this bill, change the problematic parts and make it more perfect and comprehensive, rather than opposing and questioning it from the very beginning.
From a long-term perspective, the emergence of the bill will definitely bring more benefits than disadvantages.
As for issues such as personal privacy, freedom, security, and the unwillingness to be exploited and scheduled.
Trust me, leave this... to me!"
Stark's eyes were determined, and he had already devoted himself to the Super Power Registration Act.
He looked at Charlotte and Steve sincerely and said:
“We have power far beyond that of ordinary people. We have been given rights by everyone, so we should also take due responsibilities.
Sacrifice some freedom in exchange for and maintain the public's trust.
The human heart is unfathomable, and only the system can be relied upon.”
"But the system itself can also become a tool of oppression," Steve said with a deep look in his eyes.
Stark's eyes moved, and he met Steve's eyes. A faint light of fire splashed out, and the two looked at each other without speaking.
Charlotte chose to stand with Steve. After all, Damei is the freest place, and everyone's human rights are sacred and inviolable. Oh, and so are animals'...
Stark gritted his teeth and took a deep breath. He already knew the choices of the two people, so he stared at Charlotte and Steve with a dim gaze and said:
"Is this the answer you gave? Don't you want to believe me at all?"
"Tony, you deserve to be trusted, but the politicians behind the bill don't..."
Charlotte shook her head.
At this point, the surrounding demonstrators were no longer important to them. They were just watching the show and enjoying it, and expressing their support for Stark.
Most people can see that today's super-powered people are subtly divided into two opposing factions, and most of the super-powered people are currently opposed to and take a wait-and-see attitude towards the Super-Powered Registration Act.
Stark pursed his lips and chose to stick to his beliefs.
“Before I came, the Water Group also participated in this meeting, and they had already made a decision.
They chose to register all of their superpowers and also invited me.
So now, I choose to accept their invitation!
I will join the Super Seven and... form a united front with them..."
"What! Has the Vought Group chosen to register all superpowered people?"
"So do we still need to oppose the Vought Group?"
"We just need to continue to oppose Spider-Man, right?"
"In short, Iron Man Tony Stark is definitely on our side, so we should support him!"
"Support Iron Man and destroy Spider-Man!"
"Long live Iron Man, destroy Spider-Man!"
"It's too late to legalize hemp!"
"Long live Iron Man, destroy Spider-Man!"
"By the way, what was our original purpose?"
……
Diverting conflicts is the most common method used by businessmen and politicians.
The original conflict between ordinary people and super-powered people has turned into a direct conflict between super-powered people.
The original demonstrations are still going on, but they are no longer as enthusiastic as before. Instead, a bigger storm is brewing among the super-powered people.
A few hours later, Charlotte sat in front of her computer with her head tilted.
Looking at the rapidly scrolling discussion posts, countless people are attacking and cursing each other in this intensified conflict, and from time to time there are extremists shouting wildly.
Because the tragedy in the New York State Supreme Court was so recent, the vast majority of ordinary people expressed support for the Superpower Registration Act.
After all, the Superpower Registration Act does not infringe on their interests.
There are even countless ordinary people who want to register as "superpowers" and possess a unique "superpower".
But they all have a common slogan on the Internet, "Kill the Spider-Man!"
They even portrayed Spider-Man as the biggest villain in the entire New York City on the Internet and demanded that the Super Seven eliminate Spider-Man immediately.
hateful!
These damn fools really make me angry!
Luo Ji saved humanity, but humanity is not grateful to Luo Ji.
This group of unruly people are waiting for Spider-Man’s heavy punch!
That night, Charlotte launched a very comprehensive attack without hesitation, giving most people a very memorable night.
Of course, the consequence of doing this was that the next day Spider-Man received a flood of negative reviews, and the former superhero was gradually becoming a public enemy.
Also early the next morning, the Water Group broadcast the entire event live.
During the live broadcast, Zaun Ward and Iron Man Stark once again revealed their true identities and signed the Superpower Registration Act.
A wave has officially been set off.
