[Compared to the other female heroes in the Marvel universe, Pepper is doing pretty well.]
[At least she has a happy and harmonious family, and after her marriage with Tony, she's become much more mature and composed.]
[Scarlet Witch, on the other hand, truly had it rough — she had to kill Vision with her own hands just to fight against Thanos!]
[What does killing the one you love with your own hands feel like?]
[Poor Wanda, let's take a moment of sympathy for her.]
Pepper?
A female hero?
Tony Stark couldn't help but furrow his brows.
Why would Zhou Cheng refer to Pepper as a "female hero"?
Not only that.
From the way Zhou Cheng writes, it's quite obvious that he's putting Pepper on the same level as "Scarlet Witch."
The two of them are on equal footing!
Scarlet Witch?
So this must be the witch that was mentioned before?
Although Tony Stark had never encountered a witch and didn't know how a witch differed from those depicted in movies and television shows.
Undoubtedly, this Scarlet Witch is an individual with extraordinary abilities.
So the question arises.
If Pepper is on equal footing with the Scarlet Witch, could it be that Pepper also possesses supernatural powers?
This was certainly a surprise for Tony Stark.
He had always considered Pepper a savvy and capable businesswoman.
Even with exceptional managerial skills, compared to those superheroes, she was just a regular person.
Tony Stark could have never imagined that Pepper might become a superhero in the future!
Assistant, oh assistant, you've hidden this very well.
But if this were the case.
Wouldn't that mean he, Tony Stark, and his wife, were both going to be superheroes in the future?
Now that's an extraordinary story!
With this thought, Tony Stark's lips curled into a suggestive smile.
And he already knew his future self would be Iron Man.
He just didn't know what kind of superhero Pepper would be in the future.
Of course.
Without more information, Tony Stark couldn't come to any definite conclusions.
After daydreaming for a while, he redirected his attention back to Scarlet Witch.
"That's just tragic!"
Tony Stark couldn't help but click his tongue in commiseration.
Even without knowing the details, the notion of personally killing one's own loved one was far too cruel.
Wait a second, Thanos!
Tony Stark's expression shifted subtly.
There was a record in the diary!
He had fought against Thanos himself and even managed to withstand a confrontation with the Purple Sweet Potato Spirit.
Now it seemed, in addition to himself, other superheroes had also crossed paths with Thanos.
This guy seems to be a major boss?
"Vision" and "Wanda."
He read on.
Tony Stark etched these two names – or nicknames – deep into his mind.
These were two very important clues.
Though he couldn't make much of it now, once the accumulated fragments of information reached a certain level, perhaps their value would become apparent.
[To suffer so much is already terrible, but that was just the beginning!]
[Thanos actually resurrected Vision right in front of Wanda, only to kill him again!]
[The same deep pain engraved in her heart, Wanda experienced it all over again!]
[Once more, let's feel sorry for Wanda for another minute.]
Resurrect Vision!
Tony Stark's eyebrows involuntarily shot up.
Could Thanos really achieve such an incredible feat?
To break even the boundary between life and death!
Even though he didn't have more information on Thanos, just that fact alone meant he must be an exceptionally formidable character.Even so, isn't that too much, you bearish brute?
To bring back someone's love only to kill them again?
What sort of arch-villain does that?
[Even though both suffered the death of a spouse, the nation mourned uniformly for Pepper, with countless people moved to tears.]
[Though gone, he earned the honor and status he deserved.]
[But what about Vision? He was disassembled!]
Oh my!
Tony Stark was at a loss for words.
This Wanda Maximoff, is her life just too damn tragic or what?
It's like tragedy opened the door for tragedy herself, she's that stricken with grief.
Even among the most heart-wrenching heroines Tony Stark has witnessed, none compare to the sorrow of Wanda Maximoff.
At this moment.
Even Tony Stark couldn't help but feel sympathy for Wanda Maximoff.
Who is the heartless demon that disassembled Wanda Maximoff's lover?
Disassembled!
Furious.
Tony Stark is truly furious.
If Big Tony ever finds out who that murderous fiend is, he won't let them off easily!
[It was this very shock that drove Wanda Maximoff nearly to the brink of madness.]
[Only then did she use her magic to rewrite a small town, creating her own personal utopia.]
[Where she lived with Vision, her brother, and her twin sons!]
[But in the end, she had to undo the spell, killing Vision once again!]
[Along with her own brother and her sons!]
Hasn't this witch suffered enough?
After having killed her lover by her own hand, witnessing his resurrection and subsequent second death, and seeing his dismemberment post-mortem.
This series of human tragedies hasn't ended for Wanda Maximoff?
Yet another iteration of the tragedy of killing her own lover?
Good heavens!
What on earth did this girl do in a past life to deserve such treatment from the gods?
If hell really exists, surely this must be it?
Compared to such a shock...
The fact that Wanda Maximoff could use magic to rewrite a small town seems almost "mundane."
"She's truly pitiful."
"So tragic."
Natasha Romanoff was deeply moved and sighed with empathy.
Feeling profound compassion for the witch known as "Oh sis."
For so long.
Natasha Romanoff had thought her own life to be tragic enough, being taken by the Red Room at such a young age.
To endure those hellish, sunless trainings and inhumane tasks.
It was pure hell.
Until she met Barton and was relieved, joining the S.H.I.E.L.D. family.
But compared to Wanda Maximoff, Natasha Romanoff's sorrows seemed insignificant.
[And there's Natasha Romanoff, of course she can't be left out.]
[If there's a ranking for the most tragic heroes in Marvel, Natasha would surely be among the top.]
[Looking at Natasha Romanoff's life, it's infused with tragedy like tea steeped in hot water.]
Natasha Romanoff: "..."
This gossip, it's about me now?
The alias "Black Widow" had been mentioned before in the journal.
Ranked among super-heroes like "Hawkeye," "Thor Odinson," "the Hulk," and others.
Considering someone intentionally sent the journal to her, and she indeed has a colleague known as "Hawkeye,"
Black Widow has every reason to believe that the journal's Black Widow is herself.
But really, is her life truly that tragic?
Yes, her past was quite grim.
But now, all that is behind her!
