Chapter 198: The age of heroes
When Captain America was on the front page of the newspaper, the bombing in New York last night was only carried in the cracks of the newspaper, just like an advertisement for a detective agency and a house rental.
In order to avoid panic caused by the bombing by the Germans, the word was put down on it, and it was said that there was a biogas explosion in the sewer under the street.
But Doctor Holloway didn't think so. When he drove to the scene, he saw a human-shaped fireball flying away from the sky.
Some people in the city don’t think so. Some of them even know more things than doctors.
But they are all the same. They also saw the Captain America on the front page of the newspaper. He was wearing a blue helmet with the letter ‘A’, covering his face, and appearing in front of everyone squarely.
The original intention of the government is to make the masked image of Captain America refer to the thousands of American soldiers, inspire their fighting spirit, sell more war bonds, or fight the enemy bravely on the battlefield.
A masked person without a specific image is more suitable, becoming a spiritual totem, a vase decoration.
But all of this, in the eyes of those with a heart, went in another direction.
The appearance of Captain America reminded them how they can do what they want without revealing their identity.
So almost the night the newspaper was published, a lot of masked people appeared in New York.
They wear homemade uniforms and simple masks, doing their own things.
may be to punish evil and promote good, or it may be a bad thing that is not visible, but they wear masks, who knows who they are?
Few of these people have superpowers, and Dr. Holloway is already the best of these people with his fighting skills and detective talent.
He is now codenamed ‘Angel of Vengeance’ and he fights crime in the city regardless of day or night. Although this makes him need to constantly run between the nursing home and the secret base, he likes this kind of life.
At this time, society’s attitude towards masked people is very subtle.
The rear during the war is very depressing. People can only get limited news at home, or obituaries from the front.
The appearance of these masked people provides the people of New York with the best topics and allows them to escape reality.
is like leaving the war and temporarily hiding in a world full of romanticism.
Masked people have their own code names, some are good people, some are bad people, here is black and white, everything is so simple.
I have to say that these first batch of villains and heroes are very immature, don't say that they don't have super powers, and they even appear very honest to the media.
For example, a person with a purple pointed hood told reporters openly that he planned to engage in a cult ceremony in the sewer near the pier. He was very, very evil. He himself couldn’t tell how evil he was, but He especially emphasized to reporters that he is a very, very bad kind of villain.
Once the ceremony is successful, he might turn all New Yorkers into frogs.
The interview was published in the newspaper, and the people of New York prayed for a hero to stop this evil plan.
The answer is of course-yes, these newly emerged heroes are at the time when they are most motivated. They flocked to the various docks. Someone found the purple hood and beat him up and threw him at the door of the police station.
What is the final result?
The police released the Purple Hood. After all, there is no law that makes it illegal to boil frogs in a large pot in the sewer.
His ‘evil’ ritual was just a prank. Therefore, this boring rich man finally paid a bail. He just wanted to participate in this crazy masked party.
All this is a carnival, like a stage play, he just played a bad guy, next time he wants to try to be a good guy.
But the newspaper bosses didn’t like this result. It was too realistic and too real. It was not conducive to the sale of newspapers. What New Yorkers expected was a battle between good and evil, a fierce process, and exciting results!
It is not people who make the times, it is the times that make people!
It's time for their editor to appear...
So when the newspaper arrived at the newsstand the next day, the ink-scented story changed, and it turned into a magic novel.
What a fierce battle, from the New York sewer into the Atlantic Ocean, from the Atlantic Ocean to Mars, and then returned to the earth to penetrate the center of the earth, and finally the hero defeated the evil magician on the red square of the bear. By the way, he was still in front of the big beard. The show of power made him tremble and sighed, "Americans are so powerful."
That's right. The people are very satisfied with the newspaper's answers and sneered at the police notice.
People only believe what they want to believe. They think the government is covering up the truth, and only the newspapers tell the truth.
During this period, it was originally a daily clarion paper that was a lace tabloid. Because the editors under him had a strong pen and the stories were the most popular, so the number of subscriptions rose steadily, and the career took off.
The people are also staring at the newspapers every day, looking forward to the appearance of new villains or heroes.
And this also makes more and more masked people.
When people find that the new "actors" are not enough, or that no one can meet their liking anyway, they will put on their own masks and unfit uniforms to do things that they didn't dare to do in the past.
Almost all newspapers say that this is an era where heroes are born in large numbers, and anyone can become a hero.

Su Ming is collecting information these days, and eating melons by the way, the recent newspaper story is really a good show.
If all the horn daily writes are true, then the ten Thanos with infinite gems is not the opponent of this ‘ratman’.
But this black-and-white photo is dressed in ragged fur and is all dirty. Is this person wearing a large mouse head helmet a mouse man? Isn't it a villain?
He is really a bit sly eyebrows...
and the good code names have been robbed by the pioneers. The heroes who debuted recently at UU Reading www.uukanshu.com can only use cockroaches or flea as their code names.
Bug Man, Hustle Man, Sniff Man... These names make Su Ming laugh from ear to ear.
At this time, Steve has already started his journey around the United States with a large number of products from Wilson Enterprise.
Every time I followed a large group of showgirls, read the lines on stage after my shield, and then faked the actors dressed as Hitler, I would get a lot of applause.
Facing the boiling crowd and colorful lights, Steve felt like a dream.
Then those girls would start introducing Wilson's products, consciously or unconsciously. Steve just needs to wear Captain America's uniform behind him, smile and show two thumbs up.
Instant noodles? it is good!
convenient stew? it is good!
Vigorously drink? it is good!
Nylon stockings? it is good! Wait, I don't know the stockings, I didn't wear it!
...........
Vodka and Senator Brandt under the stage looked at each other and smiled. They like to win this result together.
Steve was quite satisfied with this arrangement. After all, it was considered a contribution to the country, selling war bonds, buying weapons in exchange for weapons, and weapons to end the war. There was nothing wrong with it.
Besides, there weren't so many fans who came to him for autographs before.
But who knows the future? He only performed ten shows in New York and Washington, and there are at least 400 similar shows in the future.
So far, everything is pretty good, but in the depths of the ocean, there is a young man with a backward hairline that does not think so.
