For the first time.
The very first time.
Stark Tower
Tony was deeply fascinated by the content of the video.
"The birth of Iron Man… this is incredible."
"If I could learn from this video how I built the armor and became Iron Man—"
"Then it would be like having the cheat code for the future."
"I could use it as a foundation to build even better armor."
"And in the future Battle of New York, we'd take the lead and have a much greater chance of winning!"
Tony's eyes lit up.
As a true weapons enthusiast, he was overflowing with curiosity about what the next video would reveal.
Behind the Military Camp
Captain America was equally full of anticipation.
At that moment, he truly wanted to call Howard Stark over—
To let him see for himself—
How his son would one day become Iron Man.
That felt right.
After all—
At this point in time, Howard Stark didn't even have a child yet.
Interesting.
Very interesting.
Captain America thought so too.
He stepped out of the barracks.
"Where's Agent Carter?"
"Have her find Howard Stark and see if he can see this screen."
"If he can…"
"I imagine his reaction will be fascinating."
S.H.I.E.L.D.
Nick Fury—the giant black "boiled egg"—was also intrigued by the topic.
After all—
At this moment—
To them—
Tony Stark was still the classic playboy.
Arrogant. Cocky.
To outsiders, people whispered behind his back:
"What's so special about him? Just another rich guy."
Of course—
If they ever met Tony in real life,
They'd immediately put on masks of admiration and envy.
After all, Tony Stark was the nation's largest arms dealer.
For a time,
His reputation was sky-high.
He could slap a passing dog twice, and it wouldn't dare fight back.
Thankfully, Tony was only arrogant, arrogant, and arrogant—
In most other ways, he was surprisingly decent.
Let's not talk about the images of him sleeping with every magazine cover model.
Sure, he looked like he was having a great time—
But on average, it was only once a month.
Adult content.
Even less if the person was married.
If you replaced Tony with someone else—
Say, Director Nick Fury—
That man would probably end up in prison every single day.
…Alright, I'm getting off track.
In short—
Compared to others of the same status—
Tony Stark was actually quite easy to deal with.
Still—
Would there really be such a strange screen—
Inside Tony Stark's own home?
If Tony could see it too—
That would be interesting.
Asgard
The birth of Iron Man was about to be revealed.
Odin, King of the Gods, spoke to Thor and Loki:
"You have already witnessed Iron Man's performance."
"He is worthy of the title 'superhero.'"
"I've told you countless stories of how I led armies and defeated the Frost Giants."
"If I said any more, your ears would rot—and frankly, I'm tired of telling them."
"Coincidentally, the screen is about to show the birth of the superhero Iron Man."
"You will watch closely."
"And learn from it."
"Especially you, Thor."
Thor and Loki responded in unison:
"Yes, Father."
After watching the Battle of New York,
Thor understood something.
If Tony Stark were not a mortal—
If his deeds were carved into the legends of the Nine Realms—
If he had lived longer—
He might have become another god of Asgard.
Though merely human,
He was revered like a god.
Tony Stark was not someone to be underestimated.
Now stripped of his divine power and hammer,
Thor knew—
There was still much he could learn from Tony.
Only by doing so could he grow stronger—
And regain the trust of his father, Mjolnir, and the people of Asgard.
The Video Continues
Inside a vast conference hall.
Displayed on a massive screen.
Tony Stark's life was laid bare.
TONY STARKInventor. Genius. Patriot.
The son of Howard Stark—A legendary weapons developer.
Too brilliant, too dazzling.
At age four, he designed his first circuit board.At six, a V8 engine.At seventeen, he graduated from MIT with top honors.
Later, tragedy struck.
Howard Stark died in a car accident.
Howard's lifelong partner, Obadiah Stane, stepped forward to fill the void left by the legendary founder.
Until—
At twenty-one—
The prodigal son returned.
Tony Stark became CEO of Stark Industries.
Under his leadership, he ushered his father's empire into a new era.
Behind the Military Camp
Howard Stark stared at the screen in disbelief.
His mouth slowly fell open.
He turned to Captain America.
"This… is my future child?"
Captain America wiped the vibranium shield Agent Carter had brought.
At this point, the shield was still unpainted—
Pure silver.
"Yes, Howard."
"You're going to have an amazing son."
Captain America said calmly.
That day, Howard had originally been in his lab, working on new weapons.
Trying to make progress.
Who could have imagined—
This would happen before he even started?
Agent Carter had entered the room.
Howard knew her well.
She belonged to the Strategic Scientific Reserve.
They worked together often.
What Howard didn't know was—
In the near future—
After Captain America disappeared—
He and Peggy Carter would work together at the SSR.
And eventually—
They would help found S.H.I.E.L.D.
But that was another story.
For now—
Howard wasn't surprised by Carter's presence.
Nor was he surprised that Captain America wanted the shield—
A shield made of vibranium.
What shocked him was this:
In Howard's mind,
Captain America was nothing more than a profitable propaganda symbol.
So how did this soldier know about vibranium?
How did he know what the shield was made of?
Howard grew increasingly curious.
So he brought the shield—
And found Captain America behind the barracks.
Before he could ask any questions—
His attention was seized by the floating black screen in front of Captain America.
Anti-gravity technology?
Invisible wires?
A clever illusion?
Countless possibilities flashed through Howard's mind—
Only to be dismissed one by one.
Because soldiers passed by—
Completely ignoring the floating screen.
At last, he turned to Captain America for an explanation.
Captain America was delighted.
Over the past few hours—
He had tested it repeatedly.
The conclusion was shocking:
Among everyone present—
Only Captain America could see the screen.
To everyone else,
He was just staring blankly at empty air.
Who would believe—
That a screen displaying future events existed here?
Captain America had assumed he'd be watching it alone.
But unexpectedly—
Howard Stark could see it too.
Suddenly—
He didn't feel so alone.
So he eagerly explained everything.
He replayed the Battle of New York.
He showed Tony's heroics.
Howard Stark—
A weapons dealer, and a scientist who believed deeply in rationality—
Had never trusted supernatural events only visible to specific individuals.
He always thought such things were scams.
Yet—
Here it was.
Happening to him.
And every time he saw Tony—
His heart felt like it was pounding with blood.
So—
He accepted the impossible.
Howard continued staring at the screen and murmured softly:
"Tony Stark…"
"My future son…"
"You seem like a remarkable man."
"Let me see what kind of surprise you'll show me next."
