Chapter 197: New Equipment, Vibranium Battle Suit!

After dealing with the pirates, Clark teleported back home, only to find out that Tony's villa had been attacked by terrorists.

The once beautiful seaside villa was now in ruins, with Tony and Pepper's whereabouts unknown.

Hearing this news, Clark could only smile wryly.

It seemed he had underestimated Killian.

Did Killian attack Tony just because he saw the address on the live broadcast? Maybe, but the other party certainly didn't rely solely on that broadcast to find Tony's home!

Tony's home address was never a top-secret. Even many women he had been with knew it, so it wouldn't have been hard for Killian to investigate.

Tony's public revelation of his address was just a coincidental trigger.

Shaking his head helplessly, Clark decided to treat this as a necessary ordeal for Tony to go through. After all, he wasn't Tony's nanny and didn't need to look after everything for him.

However, Clark certainly had to investigate Killian and his terrorist group, not for Tony's sake but because they involved a Dark Apostle, and he couldn't just ignore that.

Speaking of which, what exactly happened in the Quantum Realm? When did that bastard Dormammu plant that indelible mark on him?

Unable to find an answer, Clark immediately ordered Qingfeng to retrieve all recent information about the Ten Rings terrorist group.

After reviewing it for a while, he still found no clues.

Shaking his head again, Clark decided it was better to leave such professional matters to professionals.

So, he called Hill.

After hanging up, Hill arrived at Clark's house with information about the terrorists and the previously promised documents, which included Howard's almost successful research on the super-soldier serum.

Clark handled his matters swiftly. He didn't even ask about the cargo on that ship, and S.H.I.E.L.D. couldn't afford to appear petty either.

Mutual benefit made future cooperation easier.

The next afternoon, Clark opened a portal and arrived in the main hall of Pym Labs.

After greeting Hank Pym and Shuri, Clark took out a hard drive and said, "I've just obtained two sets of genetic research data: Howard's super-soldier serum research and the Extremis virus being studied by the Ten Rings. I plan to give them to Dr. Banner for reference. By the way, how is your research progressing?"

"The research is going very well," Hank said confidently. "Vibranium technology has allowed me to overcome many material challenges. At this rate, the quantum tunnel should be completed within two months. By then, we'll need your help to locate the coordinates of the Quantum Realm, and I'll personally bring Janet back from there."

Clark frowned and said, "Can your body still withstand the backlash from the Pym particles? Let me do it…"

"Stop right there!" Hank interrupted. "Your situation is unique. I'm really afraid that if you enter, you might not be able to come back."

With both options ruled out, Clark tapped his fingers on the table thoughtfully.

After a moment, he suddenly proposed, "Do you remember the information I left for you before being sucked into the Quantum Realm?"

Hank immediately understood. "You mean Scott Lang?" He hesitated, then gently shook his head. "This isn't urgent. We can consider it when the quantum tunnel is nearly complete."

Then, with a playful smile, Hank said, "For now, you should look at the gift Shuri prepared for you."

Hearing this, Shuri perked up. She pressed a few buttons on the console, and a plastic mannequin similar in build to Clark rose from the floor, with a tiger-tooth-shaped necklace made of purple metal hanging around its neck.

Clark couldn't help but feel curious. He casually asked Shuri, "Shuri, is this necklace the gift you prepared for me? It looks nice. What's its function?"

With a proud smile, Shuri explained, "This may look like just a necklace, but it's actually a vibranium battle suit."

As she spoke, Shuri manipulated her Kimoyo Beads, and a layer of deep blue fabric flowed out from the necklace, covering the mannequin's torso and limbs.

The suit had a deep blue color with a hint of black, resembling blue-black ink. It didn't have a metallic sheen, appearing more like it was made from special leather.

The suit covered most of the mannequin's body, leaving only the head and limbs exposed, which was Clark's previous request.

His feet needed to be free to wear the Skywalker Boots, and his hands were his main weapons. Wearing armor on them would affect his dexterity.

As for his head, he preferred maintaining keen sensory perception over total protection.

On the chest of the suit was a diamond-shaped, inverted triangle symbol, reminiscent of Superman's iconic design. However, instead of an "S," the symbol in the center was the Chinese character for "Hero" (侠).

Seeing Clark's satisfied expression, Shuri proudly said, "During my recent trip, I gained a lot, especially from Aunt Helen Zhao's nanotechnology. It inspired me to use nanotechnology to store this Black Panther suit in the necklace."

"How's that for convenience?"

Nodding in satisfaction, Clark gave Shuri a thumbs up.

Combining Wakanda's technology with Pym Labs' cutting-edge science, this suit was on par with the Black Panther suit from eight years later in the original timeline.

Following Shuri's instructions, Clark quickly learned how to control the suit, retracting it back into the necklace and then putting it on again.

Instantly, a layer of vibranium armor covered his entire body.

With a thought, the Skywalker Boots reverted to their original red boots form, and he retrieved his Healing Hands cloak from his watch, draping it over his shoulders.

Aside from his skin color, Clark now looked just like Superman from next door.
