Chapter 367: Chapter: 367
"Indeed, they are two good candidates, at least they meet our requirements for potential Avengers.
However, let's leave Scott Lang to be handled by Rhodey. His Mentor, Dr. Hank Pym, and our Stark family aren't exactly on good terms.
As for that young lad in pajamas, I'll take care of contacting him. It must have been quite tough for his aunt to raise him alone. As a single father, I can share some experiences with her."
After reviewing the information Mark provided about the two individuals, Tony didn't hesitate to delegate the more challenging target to Rhodey while choosing Spider-Man, Peter Parker, as his own target.
"Tony, are you attracted to that aunt with a hot figure and charm? You want to share experiences? Did you personally take care of Mark even for a day when he was a kid?
Moreover, you're the one about to leave the team. Why did you push the task of recruiting new members onto me?"
Tony's teasing friend, Rhodey, didn't waste any time to poke fun at Tony.
Hearing Rhodey's words, Mark started looking at Tony with a scrutinizing gaze. "Dad, you aren't really interested in that aunt, are you? Although I understand that after getting those enhancements, you've solved the 'Fast-Man' problem and after breaking up with Pepper, your energy is off the charts.
But if traditional methods don't satisfy you anymore, I can have Baymax build a virtual reality for you to vent. However, if you do anything that disrespects Pepper, I'll lose respect for you."
Snap! Tony rolled his eyes, raised his hand, and gave his forehead a heavy slap, looking like he was burdened with a great injustice.
"What are you two talking about? Seriously, how can you think of me like that?
Sure, that aunt is undeniably attractive and has a great figure, but I, Tony Stark, am not the same person I used to be. I won't be simply swayed by beauty.
The reason I suggested contacting this young lad isn't just because of the issues between the Starks and the Hanks, but also because I want to personally assess if he's qualified to be the new generation of Avengers.
He's just fifteen years old and recently acquired superpowers by accident. Although he's already started doing heroic deeds around his neighborhood with his newfound abilities, becoming an Avenger is a whole different level of responsibility and pressure.
I'm concerned that due to his newfound power, without having truly faced hardships, he might impulsively agree to join the Avengers out of excitement at the prospect."
"So, I want to personally assess him, set up necessary tests, to see if he's mature enough to bear the responsibility of becoming an Avenger."
"Hey, Tony, age shouldn't be the sole criterion for evaluating someone's abilities. The first time you guys went to Sokovia, weren't you spun around by me and Wanda, who had just come of age?"
Quicksilver seemed quite optimistic about Spider-Man. Perhaps it was because there were very few people his age in the team he could relate to. Mark often stayed in the lab, and his only peer without a generation gap, Scarlet Witch, had to go into exile in Wakanda due to persecution by the United Nations. So, Quicksilver was particularly hopeful that Spider-Man would join them.
"Pete, not everyone matures as early as you and Wanda. Growing up in the chaotic areas of Sokovia from a young age, coupled with the unfortunate accidents your families faced, you two have relied on each other apart from yourselves.
Hence, you both possess greater resilience compared to the average youngsters.
But Peter Parker's upbringing and circumstances are different from yours. Besides, he's just recently gained his abilities and hasn't experienced setbacks and failures.
I believe he should face appropriate tests to prove his potential and capabilities. This is not only responsible for him but also for us."
"Dad, I'll leave the task of recruiting these two new members to you and Uncle Rhodey. And Pete, I have other matters to attend to afterwards that will likely take a few months. After that, you'll be the only one left at the Avengers facility. Make sure to take good care of our headquarters."
Quicksilver patted his chest confidently and said to Mark, "No problem, I'll ensure that it's safe. With my speed, patrolling the entire base is a matter of seconds. If there's anything unusual, I'll be the first one on the scene. You can rest assured."
In fact, the matter Mark mentioned that he needed to handle was not much different from Tony and Rhodeys' task. While they were inviting new members to join the Avengers, Mark was also dealing with newcomers.
Not long after the Green Goblin's incident concluded, the Supreme Sorcerer, who hadn't been in contact with him for a long time, called him. She said she hoped Mark could return to Kamar-Taj to assist in instructing an exceptionally talented sorcerer apprentice named Stephen Strange...
