Ah, this... Iron Man without the aura of a protagonist is indeed a bit fragile!"
Lin Feng said with emotion.
In the movies, it seems that the superheroes can fight on equal terms with anyone, but that is a compromise made by the movie due to the need to balance the combat power of the superheroes. It is also the result of Kevin Feige's special planning very early on to ensure the consistency of the style and strength of superheroes with different power systems.
If we understand it in the Marvel world, it is their protagonist halo that comes into play, so it seems that they can fight on equal terms with anyone. For example, the most obvious example is Captain America, Steve Rogers, who is on equal terms with Winter Soldier Bucky, and Iron Man Tony Stark. He can also fight back and forth with Thanos, and his main feature is a 50-50 fight.
But what is the reality?
Except for the real protagonists on the sacred timeline, other superheroes do not have the halo of the protagonist to protect them. For example, in the zombie Marvel universe, Tony Stark, who was stabbed by Thanos but could not die, was easily turned into a zombie and finally had his head chopped off.
Captain America Steve Rogers is not much better, and Doctor Strange Stephen Strange is even more of a classic. He has destroyed countless universes and has killed countless people.
So the protagonist's halo is something really mysterious.
Lin Feng, on the other hand, is very self-aware. He knows that he is not the protagonist and cannot have the protagonist's halo to protect him, so he must stay low and be sure that he can completely protect himself before he dares to come out and have fun.
To use his own self-deprecating words, if he were the protagonist of a book, he would be considered a Gou Daoliu, right? (Manual dog head)
In the real world, strength is not as unclear as in the movie universe. If you have reached a certain level, you have reached it. If you have not reached it, you have not reached it. Among the first generation of Avengers, the strength echelon is also very obvious.
The first echelon is of course the Hulk and Thor. These two are not only the upper limit of the current Avengers' strength. With their strength, we can probably see it from the battle against the Chitauri in the plot of Avengers 1. Basically, they have the ability to destroy an army of Chitauri single-handedly. But unfortunately, in the plot of Avengers 1, the Chitauri invasion was not just one army, but an endless stream of subsequent ones, which made the battle more and more exhausting.
In the Marvel world, although personal strength is important, if one has not reached the minimum level similar to the God-level or the single universe level, then one will still be overwhelmed by the army.
Moreover, these two have not reached their own upper limits. The setting of the Hulk is that the angrier he is, the stronger he will be, and his strength will continue to grow. In battle, his anger will only continue to increase. Theoretically, there is no limit. Of course, that is the comic version. The movie version still has limits.
However, Thor, the God of Thunder, had not yet figured out the laws of thunder and lightning, and even made a joke. When Odin sealed Thor's hammer, he immediately lost his divine power, making it unclear whether he was Thor, the God of Thunder, or Thor, the God of Hammer.
It's very funny, but later in Thor 3, after he completely comprehended his own thunder power, his strength was raised to a new level. Although he was still beaten by Hela, he finally had to rely on the power of the fire giant Surtur to destroy Asgard, and then he killed his sister.
And later, when he faced Thanos, he was hung up and beaten again, and watched helplessly as his people were slaughtered. In the end, only two or three kittens escaped to Earth.
He seems a bit useless, but that's only because he's facing two of the strongest beings in Marvel's Phase One.
In fact, Thor's combat power at that time was already firmly ranked first among the first generation of Avengers. Coupled with the Stormbreaker he obtained later, he even severely damaged Thanos with one blow in Avengers 3 and almost killed Thanos.
It can be seen that at that time, Thor's combat power, after adding Stormbreaker, was already strong enough to threaten the God-level. Coupled with his own bloodline, he had infinite possibilities.
Theoretically, there are only three people in the royal bloodline of Asgard, two of whom are at the God-father level. There is no reason why Thor should not have such talent.
Lin Feng knew that in the comic version, there was a setting about the bloodline of Asgard, and the older they got, the more powerful they became. Even if the royal family of Asgard did not practice cultivation, their strength would continue to increase as they grew older. If the movie version also had this setting, then it would only be a matter of time before Thor entered the level of God.
Whether in terms of strength or potential, he is the best in the first generation of Avengers!
It's just that his brain doesn't work well in the early stages and he seems stupid.
The second echelon is the early Iron Man Tony Stark and Captain America Steve Rogers. One of them uses the armor and the other uses the power of super soldier serum. Both of them have combat power far beyond that of ordinary people.
The third echelon is Black Widow Natasha and Hawkeye Barton. Without the halo of the protagonist in the sacred timeline, they are just super soldiers.
Lin Feng didn't know what to say. In this world, the rich rely on technology, the poor rely on mutation, or else rely on their own bloodline.
If he didn't have such a magical thing as a diary, he would probably be a well-off third-generation rich man now, staying away from New York and definitely not getting involved in these superhero events.
Just as Lin Feng's thoughts were in a mess, Tony Stark was blown away, and all he could hear was Jarvis's warnings.
"The armor is eighty percent damaged and the energy is severely insufficient. We do not recommend continuing the battle! We do not recommend continuing the battle!"
Tony Stark fell so hard that he felt like his brain was about to be shaken apart.
He originally wanted to see the power of the Destroyer Armor, but after actually fighting it, he found that it was different from what was shown in the video.
The combat power of the Destroyer Armor in the video is not outrageous, especially since it was later solved in just a few moves by Thor who regained his power, as if it was nothing special.
But after the actual fight, he realized that he was totally wrong.
After only one exchange, cracks appeared on the outer shell of his highly resistant alloy armor, and his speed could not keep up with the Destroyer Armor. After another direct hit from the Destroyer Armor, the armor was almost completely damaged. One more punch would cause it to completely collapse into pieces.
This was the first time he encountered an opponent of this level. Compared to him, Obadiah's Iron Monger and Destroyer armor were simply oversized toys.
