New York Battlefield

The sudden alien attack and ensuing superpower battle sent the civilians in the Central Street area scrambling for cover. Considering the hardships they have faced in the New York War, they have become remarkably adept at escaping.

With a deafening explosion, the bottom wall of a building gave way, and a gold and red-painted Iron Man was hurled out.

Iron Man crashed into a lamppost, bending it before crashing hard to the pavement. After a brief moment to restart his engine, he absorbed the impact, his back pressed against the wall of the adjacent building.

"Sir, are you all right?" Friday, the new AI system, inquired.

"Do I look okay?" Iron Man replied, leaning against the wall as he stood up, his body riddled with scars. His metal eyes glowed white as he stared at the building he had just been thrown from.

In the shadows and dust of the first floor, a massive alien monster wielding an enormous axe grinned ominously at him.

With a physique that rivaled that of the Hulk, the Cull Obsidian possessed superior combat skills and didn't rely on instinct in battle, making him a formidable opponent.

"Fortunately, thanks to Godfather's warning, I have prepared a backup plan for this situation," Iron Man exhaled calmly, showing no signs of panic. He gave an order: "Friday, deploy the MARK-66."

"How many should I use?" Friday inquired quickly.

"All of them! Deploy them all!" Iron Man ordered, keeping his eyes on the Cull Obsidian.

At this point, there was no need to hold back.

"Understood, sir!"

At that moment, a platform hovering in near-space deployed four identical metal devices. These were the folded gold and red armor pieces, each shooting out tail flames as they rapidly descended toward New York.

"Little Tin Man, I'm not even warmed up yet. Want to play a little longer?" Cull Obsidian's dark muscles bulged as he snapped his neck and stomped on the ground, ready to continue his assault on Iron Man.

"I've got a backup service coming your way," Iron Man said, pointing to the sky above.

"Hmm?" Cull Obsidian paused, sensing something unusual overhead. 

Suddenly, a bulky gold and red armor landed in front of him, its massive mechanical feet creating a crater in the road as Iron Man's hands pressed firmly against Cull Obsidian's solid chest, preventing him from advancing.

This was only the beginning; a second bulky armor landed behind Cull Obsidian and pushed forward to crush him.

The two armors acted like a sandwich, trapping Cull Obsidian in the middle with a series of frictional movements.

"Get off me!" Cull Obsidian shouted, raising his axe, ready to split the armor blocking him in half.

But then a third and fourth armor landed on his left and right sides, pinning his arms.

Four energy cores glowed with a brilliant light, eight glowing white eyes and sixteen massive mechanical limbs...

Now trapped between layers of ironclad armor, Cull Obsidian was momentarily stunned. In the blink of an eye, he had become the target of a full encirclement and was being pummeled by four massive armors!

These sturdy, slightly bulky armors weren't just tough and impact resistant - they were far more powerful than Iron Man's usual Mark models.

"These are modified anti-Hulk armor! They even have nanotechnology. Just one is enough to contain an enraged Hulk. As for the four... well, enjoy yourself."

Iron Man shivered and waved his hand, no longer paying attention to Cull Obsidian, who was being hammered into the ground by the four anti-Hulk armors.

Sorry, but times have changed.

Iron Man exhaled in relief. Fortunately, after being guided by his Godfather and the super-powered competition, he had developed a new system. 

It didn't have the independent intelligence of Ultron, but it was more than capable of controlling the intelligent systems of the four Anti-Hulk armors.

"Substitute Fighter" System.

"Mr. Stark!"

At that moment, Peter's voice called from above at that moment.

Iron Man looked up to see Spider-Man swinging down from a tall building, one hand grasping a web, the other half supporting, half cradling Doctor Strange.

Doctor Strange had a gash on his forehead and was unconscious, his face stained with blood that continued to drip.

"What happened to him?" Iron Man asked, looking at the unconscious Doctor Strange.

"He got hit by a rock. He just fainted; it shouldn't be too serious," Spider-Man replied, holding Doctor Strange with both hands. He then noticed the muffled thudding coming from behind him and realized that the four large armored suits were surrounding the massive alien.

The once invincible Cull Obsidian was now howling in pain, sounding more like a slaughtered animal than a fearsome warrior.

"What's going on there?" Spider-Man exclaimed, stunned.

"It was his request; there was nothing I could do to stop it," Iron Man shrugged, stepping forward to check the pendant containing the Time Stone that still hung around Doctor Strange's neck. He sighed in relief. "Good."

"Wait a minute." Iron Man suddenly remembered something. He looked at Spider-Man, then at the unconscious Doctor Strange he was supporting, and asked, "What about those two aliens?"

He didn't believe that enemies like Ebony Maw could be easily defeated. After all, Ebony Maw's abilities were far more powerful than Cull Obsidian's!

"It was Wanda," Spider-Man replied quickly. "She blocked those two enemies so I could escape with the Doctor."

"Not good." Iron Man's expression changed as he looked anxiously at the roof of the building ahead of them.

...

Earlier, on the roof of the skyscraper.

A gaping hole marred the center of the roof, where Ebony Maw hovered in the air, flanked by Supergiant, her eyes glowing white. The two unleashed their powers - object manipulation and mind attacks - hurling both physical debris and intangible forces at Scarlet Witch.

On the opposite side of the rooftop, Scarlet Witch stood her ground, gritting her teeth. Her hands were raised, surrounded by crimson energy as she struggled to withstand the relentless onslaught of the two powerful Thanos generals.

A trickle of blood escaped from the corner of her mouth, quickly evaporating into nothingness.

"Such a mere human, yet with such powerful abilities... Truly remarkable," Ebony Maw remarked with an air of elegance, his hands never ceasing to manipulate the floating debris aimed at Scarlet Witch.

Scarlet Witch's red energy reduced the approaching debris to dust. She glared coldly at Ebony Maw, her voice steady despite the strain. "It's you who took my little sister! Where is she now? Tell me!"

Ebony Maw paused, a look of surprise crossing his aged face. "So, it's like that... The one called Lorna is your sister?"

He was genuinely surprised.

Lorna had invincible abilities and this woman who was currently blocking both his and Supergiant's powers... was from the same family?

What kind of Superpowered family was this?
