Marvel's Superman Chapter 22
Advertisement
Luke's mind wandered.
He remembered a comic in which Wolverine was also a member of this team and fought side by side with Captain America.
Maybe, a certain black hard-boiled egg would be there too.
Maybe he will also get to meet a certain cool black guy.
After all, Nick Fury had joined the Howling Commandos in his early years.
"What about Rogers?"
Luke asked curiously.
As the saying goes, the bigger the pectoral muscles, the greater the responsibility!
He wondered if Rogers would debut as the 'American' idol this time.
"Rogers? Senator Brandt is interested in him and intends to make him a war bonds ambassador."
Colonel Philips shrugged his shoulders and said he was helpless.
He wanted to recruit both super soldiers into the Howling Commandos, to complete a plan from the Strategic Science Reserve.
But Senator Brandt won't relent.
He took a fancy to the 'Super Soldier' as a gimmick.
He wanted to make, either Luke or Rogers, a household name and a star attraction.
In this way, he could promote the war bonds, add some points under his political achievements, and also create a platform for his future campaign.
Simply the best of both worlds!
"Is that so? ..."
Luke secretly thought he was lucky.
Without Rogers blocking the bullet, the task of performing on stage in costume and being a salesman would have been on him.
Even if he could use other means when the time comes, then re-enter the military's sights, he would miss a lot of opportunities!
Just then—
[Side quest: Howling Commando, the war hero's first step!]
[Requirements: Join the team and get the approval of three or more team members.]
[Reward: Scarecrow's fear poison gas ×10.]
[The task list is now open.]
Luke took the time to sweep his eyes over the character panel, and a side quest suddenly appeared on it.

"Well, this is strange. I am in the Marvel world but rewards are from the 'studio next-door'. "
Seeing the gaze from Colonel Phillips, Luke collected his thoughts and quietly said; "I am willing to lead Howling Commandos!"
The former was satisfied with this answer.
"Don't let me down, Luke. "
The Colonel patted Luke on the shoulder happily, turned, and walked out of the infirmary.
...
"I received a phone call from President Roosevelt this morning. From now on, the Strategic Science Reserve has a new mission!"
"We are going to fight Hydra to the death! We're going to kill this horrible beast that lurks in the depths of the shadows of this war!"
"..."
The next morning, Colonel Phillips delivered an impassioned speech.
Various researchers, as well as agents and spies, began to pack up and prepare to move out.
They are about to leave New York, follow the instructions of their superiors, and rush to the frontlines in London.
The Super Soldier Project had failed, and the status of the Strategic Science Reserve, which had been carrying great expectations, instantly dropped!
Rogers, standing in the lobby of the base, looked like an outsider.
He didn't know what to do, and no one told him what to do.
Miss Carter, Howard -Stark, they all had their own tasks.
'Everyone's leaving, except me!'
"Colonel! If you're going to fight Hydra, I want to join too!"
Rogers plucked up his courage and walked up to Colonel Philips.
Rogers had a deep hatred for Dr. Erskine's murderer.
"You are now a military property and I have no authority over your whereabouts. "
Colonel Philips shook his head.
With two super-soldiers, he could only choose one.
The rest belonged to Senator Brandt.
Phillips hated making this kind of deal, but he had no other choice.

Dr. Erskine was shot and the Super Soldier Project failed. This series of accidents are made by the military's investment in research funding, all thrown into the water, with no returns from this investment.
As the executive of the Strategic Science Reserve, Phillips had to shoulder the majority of the pressure and blame.
Even though many of the problems were due to Senator Brandt because the Hydra assassin appeared among his entourage.
But this powerful senator like a 'Non-stick pan', was not going to get his reputation to receive any 'stains'.
Philips didn't know what the senator said, but in the end, the whole blame fell on his head and the senator escaped without any harm.
In order to preserve the strength of the Strategic Science Reserve, a part of the earlier resources needed to be reserved.
Philips had no other choice but to make a deal with Senator Brandt and give Rogers to the other party - at least it was better than being a lab rat.
"The serum worked, Colonel! I can fight..."
Rogers tried to fight for the opportunity, but was interrupted by Colonel Phillips, "Senator Brandt said there's a better battlefield for you. "
After saying that, he turned to leave.
"The Colonel is also under a lot of pressure, so don't be discouraged. "
Looking at the lost Rogers, Carter, who was standing next to him, said comfortingly.
She held the experimental record with both hands, and sympathy in her eyes.
Through the human body transformation, the original thin little man had reached six feet (188cm), almost as tall as Luke.
Moreover, Rogers' muscles are even more bulky, like those of a bodybuilder.
Luke, who was also a Super Soldier, wasn't this exaggerated.
"Where's Luke!? Where is he?"
Rogers suddenly remembered that he hadn't seen Luke since yesterday.
"I don't know, the Colonel said he had another mission. "
Carter shook her head.

From his memories of pokemon as a whole, he assumes the power of pokemon and the world around him runs on convenient fate, rule of cool, and cheesy friendship just like any other anime. Unfortunately for everyone else, he's 100% right. NOTE: If Borne of Caution is an attempt at a coherent and realistic look at pokemon, then, Borne of Desire is the opposite. It's all the mindless indulgence I DONT want in a serious story. It's a very seat-of-my-pants for-fun project and is written with no storyboard. Updates will be inconsistent and quality cannot be assured. Not to be taken too seriously.
