Chapter 7: Ultimate Power part 1
Stark Tower Iron-Tech test area
Tony, Jarvis and Rhodey sat in the simulators control room with Ultimate on the other side. Tony made sure that no one would watch them, no workers and no scientists just those he trusted the most would help him test the boundaries of Sven's power.
"So what do we know so far?" Rhodey asked looking at a file that Homer had put together which included witness reports and pathetically done photos that freelancers had taken.
"Well he told me that when he was fighting those mercenaries he displayed super strength enough to punch a man into a wall from a few yards away, and he told me he mimicked Deadpool's healing factor wiping a sedative out of his system, then he mimicked all of Spider-man's abilities, and well there was Speed Demon's super speed, Electro and Joystick's energy generation and Atlas's growth abilities although since he's quite short himself he only grew to half the guys height" Tony explained looking over a very bored Sven who came to the point when he was actually tugging the hair at the back of his second skin to keep himself awake.
"Well I scanned his second skin as you asked sir and the strange thing is so far it hasn't generated any radiation or energy" Jarvis told Tony who put his hand to his chin rather puzzled at the situation. "His vital signs are normal as well, heart rate and his other readings are perfectly healthy".
"Ultimate indeed, capable of creating a Meta-human gene in his body then unleashing it, or that's at least what I think he's capable of doing, what's his body temperature?"
"It remains at Average Body Temperature"
"Give him a taste of the flame throwers!" Tony said pressing a button ignoring the utter shocked faces of Rhodey and Jarvis.
Sven was just about close to falling asleep until suddenly five guns appeared around in and fired a burst of immense flame at him. His mimic marks lit up with the same silver light that they did when Ultimate punched Deadpool.
"HEY WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO DO KILL ME!!!" Ultimate yelled as smoke emanated from his body.
"Your okay you know!" Tony said into the microphone. "What's his temperature now?" Tony asked Jarvis who looked at the monitor.
"Well I'll tell you no normal human could survive it!"
"I'll just take that as a he can adapt to most heats then" Tony said smiling as he spoke into the speaker system again. "Ok Ultimate we're going to run a few tests, I suspect that your Second Skin reacts to your thoughts so if you think of deactivating it it'll deactivate"
"Well that sounds good, so maybe if I think about a new form it'll take on a new form" Ultimate said as he closed his eyes and thought.
The Mimic marks on Sven's second skin glowed and gathered onto the young heroes shoulder. Tony, Rhodes and Jarvis marvelled as the Second Skin took shape into Ultimate's new costume or form as he called it. The Mimic marks had reshaped themselves into a silver shoulder guard on Sven's left shoulder, his right shoulder went blue while his abs and wrists turned grey, Ultimate's chest took on a metallic red colour but in a section of his chest was coloured blue in the shape of a diamond, and from the two bottom points of the diamond Ultimate's stomach, Waist and legs took on a black colour while his shin remained grey. The marks on Sven's mask disappeared replaced with a silver V shaped Antenna, the masks colour turned blue except for Sven's chin, mouth and nose which took on a colour matching the red on his body.
"Pretty good style Ultimate, sort of reminds me of one of those Japanese mecha's with the antenna thing, and the diamond shape and the shoulder guard is a good touch too" Tony said examining the form of Ultimate from top to bottom, Tony then noticed another thing about the new costume, the eye lenses looked bigger and more similar to Spider-man's apart from Ultimate's were black. "Careful for the eyes cause Spidey may try suing you, I'm just kidding kid but he does get annoyed about the posters made about him"
"Yeah, I find it weird that they're using his image and he doesn't get a dime" Ultimate said examining his costume and focusing to make the fingers on his gloves a black colour.
"Psychokinetic control of his suit making it take any shape he wishes so long as it matches his height and mass, though the mimic marks have taken shape into a guard and gauntlet, I assume that his left arm will glow when he mimics powers now" Tony said and Rhodey and Jarvis both shook their heads at how fascinated he was by Ultimate. Sure he was an alcoholic and a billionaire playboy (oh and superhero) but he still had his moments where he just looked like a complete nerd.
"Ok lets give his strength a test then shall we" Rhodey said as he pushed a button on the control panel.
At this point Sven had started to whistle the Spider-man tune until he heard a creaking noise. He looked up and his eyes went wide as a massive weight fell towards him. He put his arms up in the air and braced himself as his left arm glowed with a silver light.
BANG!!
Ultimate then looked up in surprise for he actually held onto the weight with little effort.
"How much weight is that?" Tony asked.
"Ten Tons sir!" Jarvis said.
"He doesn't look too bad try 30 tons!"
"Yes sir!"
Sven then noticed the object he was lifting started to get heavier but he could still lift it without much difficulty. It was when Tony increased the weight to 40 that Sven started to have difficulty as his legs shook. The weights quickly slid back into the ceiling leaving a panting Sven.
"Maximum Weight he can lift, I'd calculate it as 45 or 50 ton" Tony said. "Ok Sven try thinking about deactivating the skin or the clothes you wore before your powers manifested"
"Ok I'll give it a try!" Sven said and with a single thought his second skin disappeared replaced by the clothes he normally wore. "Wow, I never would of thought that the suit would react to my thoughts, thanks for the tips Tony!"
"No problem Sven I only wanted to help you learn a bit of control over your powers, I was glad to help out, I could I offer you a lift home?"
"No I think the neighbours will get suspicious if I show up home in a limo" Sven said and the adults smiled as his attempt at humour. "I'll make my own way home" Sven said as he focused and the armoured skin covered his body. "I look forward to the day we have a team up Iron-man" Ultimate said saluting Tony who saluted him back.
When Sven got home he was rather surprised that no one was home, not even his mother. The boy took a simple microwavable meal out of the fridge and sat down for a meal alone. 'What can I do to make my costume better, I mean it feels like something's missing' Sven thought as he ate the meal. 'A cape seems too old and I've seen what's happened on the Incredibles, I like the lenses that Spidey uses so that's something I'd incorporate, I'll keep the grey hair at the back of the head cause I found it rather cool' Sven put the plate he used in the dish washer.'All right this time I'll think of a design I'll stick with, second skin cover me up' with that one thought the original form of Ultimate's second skin covered his body. Sven imagined a costume in his head and the suit he wore took on a black colour, his eyes expanded to the same size of Spider-man's mask lenses but instead they took on a grey colour, hair grew out of the back of his head while a blue helmet type mask covered his head, two blue gauntlets with Mimic marks attached covered his wrists but left his black gloved hands exposed, the left gauntlet was bigger than the right covering Sven's elbow. The markings that were once on Ultimate's chest gathered into a blue diamond shape, Sven's feet and Shins were also covered by a pair of Blue boots which also had mimic markings on them like the gauntlets did. All of the other markings on Ultimate's body gathered into blue shoulder and hip guards. 'Cool the blue parts seem even more like armour then I imagined and that's a tribute to Iron Man the guy who basically gave me my powers and the eye lenses are a tribute to an as good a hero as Iron man and Cap' Ultimate thought as he looked at himself in the mirror.
The Next day in New York"The NYPD were faced with a hostage situation this afternoon at a building ran by the Hardy foundation. According to reports the men were equipped with cybernetic implants giving them strength far superior to even the top athletes in the Police department"
"SHOOT THAT FREAK!!" The Cyborg gang leader yelled as he and numerous thugs shot into the Shadows of the Hardy foundation science lab.
"HEY WATCH WHERE YOU SHOOT OR YOU'LL BLOW SOMETHING UP!!" Ultimate yelled from his hiding place behind a table that was offering little cover against those Cyborg's that were equipped with wrist lasers. 'Ok here it goes!' Sven thought as he took a deep breathe and ran at the Cyborg's his Second Skin acting like a bullet proof vest insulating him from the impact of the bullets, he slid across the ground tackling one of the Thugs that hadn't been "upgraded". Ultimate then jumped back onto his feet and smashed his fist into one of the Cyborg thug's cheeks knocking him out of the fight and also breaking his jaw or what was left of it with his half machine face.
The young hero then turned his attention to the last Cyborg that had discovered him one who was stupid enough to have replaced his own arms and legs with robotic arms to apparently improve his performance. Sven smiled under the second skin as he ran towards the thug tearing off his arms.
"Ha Victory is mine!" Ultimate said in a mock impersonation of Monty Python. He then hit the man on both sides of the head with his own arms knocking him out. 'Right it's a good thing those guys were stupid enough not to alarm the higher ups, then again they must all be stupid to do this to themselves' Ultimate thought as he looked at the robotic arms he held with disgust before throwing them on the floor.
In the Hardy building lobby where the hostages were held at gunpoint by four Gang members wearing balaclavas and holding automatic weapons along with five other criminals with cybernetic enhancements three of which were obvious with the robotic parts either on their arms, legs or even on the left half of ones face.
"What happened to Ed and the other guys we sent to watch the lab entrance" the leader of the group asked, he wore a brown trench coat and a pair of black framed sunglasses.
"Should we send someone to check it out?"
"Don't bother, even Swat doesn't stand a chance with our equipment"
Meanwhile up on the roof Ultimate had abandoned his plan on sneaking in through a window and exchanged it…for crashing through a window.
"YAAAHOOOHH!!!" Sven yelled as he crashed through the Lobbies skylight and landed behind one of the thugs, he grabbed him by the collar and threw him into another one of the regular thugs that was positioned behind a line of hostages. The Mimic marks glowed a silver colour as one of the Cyborg's attempted to punch Ultimate but the young hero grabbed his fist crushing the cybernetic limb before he threw him into the two thugs that he had knocked down earlier, he then ran towards them quickly grabbing their rifles and bending them into a boomerang shape. He then threw them into two of the Cyborg thugs that were just about to shoot two of the hostages until the makeshift throwing weapons bashed into their stomachs sending them flying into the lobbies walls. Sven turned his eyes to the last Cyborg thug, he slid across the floor dealing a brutal kick to the mans jaw and throwing him into the main desk.
"Ok listen up guys you should know that if I don't pull my punches I'm capable of breaking a mans neck, so the only guys who really did stand a chance against me are gone, so I assure you that if you even touch those triggers then it'll be more then your neck I break" Ultimate threatened crashing his fist through the wall to prove his point. The mercenaries looked at each other and dropped their rifles putting their hands over their heads, Sven looked at the leader of the group who remained still and casual. "Good bad guys now please get the hostages out the back door and turn yourselves in and never do crap like this again, or you know how it's going to turn out just be fortunate that its me and not someone like Captain America" Ultimate commanded and the thugs helped the less than grateful hostages up to their feet guiding them out of the door.
"Impressive use of force and strength I see your starting to sound like the Ultimate Hero you claim to be" The leader spoke taking off his sunglasses and throwing them on the floor revealing a pair of red eyes.
"So was this some kind of test?" Ultimate asked but still holding his ground against the seemingly normal mastermind behind the hostage scheme.
"More for my employer than for me" The Leader said as he removed his coat revealing a Cybernetic implant on his shoulder and lung. Ultimate's eyes grew wider as the mans right arm folded to reveal a Mini-gun.
"Oh crap!" Sven muttered as the Cyborg began laughing maniacally as he fired the gun. The mini-guns barrel spun around unleashing a volley of bullets at the young hero who ran around the room diving behind one of the Lobbies purely decorative support beams. 'Just great, I've walked into a trap, I'm not risking those bullets piercing through the second skin but wait a minute it's supposed to be Psychokinetic so if I think about it then I can create something to Shield myself' Sven thought as the gauntlet on his left arm took shape into a round Shield similar to Captain America's.
Ultimate rolled out of his hiding place and ran at the Cyborg leader blocking the bullets with his Shield. "Try this one!" The leader muttered as his Right arm folded into what appeared to be a hammer. He swung the hammer round and bashed it against the boys Shield sending him skidding across the floor until he recovered and ran at him again.
"How about you try this!" Ultimate said as his gauntlet took the shape of a blade, the young hero then once again performed his sliding manoeuvre but this time much to the villains shock jumped off the floor and sliced the Mini-gun barrel off of the mans prosthetic.
"LITTLE BRAT!!" The man yelled in anger as he attempted to crush the kneeling hero. But much to the mans shock again Ultimate caught the hammer in mid swing pushing the mans fist back with the palm of his right hand.
"Now Borg how about you use your money for something else other than serving some other villain" Ultimate said frowning as he pulled his now normal left hand back and punched the man smack bang in the middle of the forehead knocking him unconscious. "Besides I don't think you make a good villain anyway!" Ultimate jumped through the ceiling window he had crashed through earlier walked to the edge of the rooftop to watch the Hostages either reuniting with family members or being interviewed by police and news reporters. The young teen smiled under his mask/helmet as he jumped from rooftop to rooftop pleased with his nights work.
According to witness reports a costumed crime fighter apparently employed by Stark International named Ultimate crashed through the window and saved their lives. Anastasia Hardy the Chairwoman of the Hardy Foundation had this to say about the hostage situation.
"Not only did he endanger hostages with his reckless behaviour but he also broke Hardy Foundation equipment, he practically destroyed the lab and now I have to have the Lobby refurbished, glass cleaned off the floor and cracks in the wall filled, if Tony Stark wasn't an avid supporter of the Foundation I would sue him for the damage his agent caused"
While Mr Anthony Stark himself said this:
"Ultimate isn't really under my employ he's just a guy who wants to use power for the right things and that includes helping the little guys, and please Jessica call me Tony!"
Police officers and the hostage victims had mixed feelings towards the newest masked defender:
"I work hard for a living and then this guy comes around in tights and acts like he's some kind of hero, he stinks and I don't like him!"
"He certainly was reckless but he did save the day in a way, and not to mention he was pretty cute"
"He's definitely too young to be prancing around like some wannabe crime fighter, leave it to the police menace"
"Well what can I say he got good results and none of the hostages were hurt and some of those thugs were even swearing to us that they would go to church like good citizens, I like to uphold the law but what Ultimate is doing beats doing nothing while dirt bags run across the street doing as they please and we need a super powered hero who can stand up to the other super powered maniacs like Doctor Octopus or Hydro-man"
Many of the public have mixed opinions on this supposed Ultimate hero but it is known that he does some good.
"Many other papers have been saying that this Ultimate Hero is indeed the Ultimate hero but we at the Daily Bugle believe that despite whether he gets good results and saves lives the law is the law and if you break it your nothing more than a criminal"
PATOI!!"SVEN DON'T BE SO DISGUSTING!!" Kellie yelled as she wiped Sven's spit off of the TV screen.
"Sven I don't like the Daily Bugle myself but that's no excuse to spit on the screen, and you'll never find a girlfriend if you don't cut these habits" Sven's mother lectured.
"Mom do we have to start this again?" Sven asked sighing as he leant back on the sofa.
"Move your legs Sven!" Kellie commanded and Sven reluctantly moved his feet for his little sister so she could sit next to him.
"Aren't you interested in girls Sven?" Their mother asked with concern in her voice.
"What are you getting at mom, I'm not interested in boys if that's what you mean"
"Good I was hoping Mariko wasn't rubbing off on you" Kellie said sniggering.
"Have you heard anything from Mariko recently?" Sven's mother asked.
"No cause those stuck up parents of hers have kept her in her room, why cant they just let her be who she is?" Sven Wondered.
"Well they are very proud people Sven and Mariko cant give them a granddaughter if she marries her gym teacher, still I agree with your friend Shang-Chi this is just a phase she's going through"
Elsewhere in a Golden Palace somewhere in a place called the valley of the Spirits. The villains that had attacked Stark tower minus the captured Whirlwind all stood on a giant chess board, the room they stood in was red painted and had numerous golden dragon statues and symbols on the walls. While Hypnotia and Dread knight were calm the rest of the villains seemed almost nervous as a door in front of them slid open revealing the Mandarin a man with long black hair and green skin who wore diamond rings of numerous colours on each of his fingers and a green robe with dragon and diamond decorations on it. He walked down a flight of steps to the front of the giant board.
"I have tested the serum you stole on one of my guards, he has died!" The Mandarin said with authority. "But fortunately for you Modok has hypothesized that the reason for his death was because at 32 he was too old to adapt to the serum so that is why I want you to gather teenagers, enough to create an army to be put under my command, Hypnotia you will be crucial to this task, take them on the streets, take them from their homes or their schools if necessary I want an army that will destroy Iron Man and anyone who will stand in the way of my world conquest, bring them to me either offer them a reward or just force them to come, while Hypnotia recruits the rest of you will prepare the fortress while I awaken the dragons" Mandarin's words were like law to the villains as they all disappeared in flashes of light to perform their respective tasks. The Mandarin looked at his rings as he walked towards an elevator, one of the diamonds on his rings glittered and the elevator suddenly dropped to an underground level of the palace, he walked along a stone platform overlooking four metallic dragons that looked like a mixture of the Asian and European cultured dragons. They were the Mandarin's greatest creations and the most powerful weapon he possessed. "Soon this world will kneel before me!"
Queens the Parker residencePeter Parker sighed as he walked back into the house, he had had another boring and predictable day at school, listening to one of Doctor Connors lectures, getting bullied by Flash Thompson and Kong, the only good part of today was that he got to hang out with Sven or Ultimate as he was going by now in the city. With his mimicking powers and similar humour he found someone he could connect with, he even introduced Sven to some of his friends at school. Sven got along with all of them even Mattie Franklin who was related to Jonah Jameson the editor of the Daily Bugle, the two had even exchanged insults to use on her uncle. The Ultimate Hero had even made Harry laugh who had been depressed lately ever since his father's identity, as the Green Goblin was made public by S.H.I.E.L.D. He said hello to his Aunt May a woman in her mid sixties who had raised him since his parents died.
"How was school Peter" May asked in her usual calm and kind tone.
"Boring as usual" said Peter before he walked up to his room throwing his bag on his bed and turning on the TV. It showed yet another reported sighting of Ultimate though this time it was an entire documentary dedicated to the appearances that Ultimate had made, Peter sighed for he knew it was only a matter of time before they made a movie like they did with him. The feature showed photos (poorly taken), videos of Ultimate saving lives or beating up Super villains and interviews with Tony Stark and Nick Fury.
"We understand that there was an issue on who Ultimate would work with General Fury"
"There was a rather short issue, when Ultimate first appeared Stark claimed technical ownership of him because he was created through a project made by Stark international"
"I believe that S.H.I.E.L.D is responsible for monitoring Super human threats"
"On a personal note as a person who happens to be a good judge of character not the duty bound General of S.H.I.E.L.D Ultimate is a good person, he has his own morals on what's right in the world and he isn't easily swayed or brought down by words that might I add your paper Miss Farrell says about him. As a person I'd say that Ultimate's never going to just one minute change his mind about the ethics of life and take on the government, but as a soldier and a man responsible for national security the military will be ready to shoot him down if he ever does do the unthinkable"
Peter sighed for he knew that outside of work Fury was a good man, but he was tied down by duties as General of S.H.I.E.L.D.
"Mr Stark tell us what Ultimate is like behind the mask, his hobbies and answer the many questions of his loyal female fans is he single?"
"Well Leeds I'd say he's a very good guy, I'll only say one thing about him which is something he told me to say if you ever asked a question about him and his loved ones, "yes cause I'm really going to put a giant sign on my head shouting out my real name and inviting every person I've ever punched to hurt my loved ones, yeah that's real smart isn't it" and I can tell you the last thing he told me to tell you shouldn't be on national television"
At that moment Peter chuckled to himself knowing that Sven could be a potty mouth when he needed to be, he still couldn't get over the time he told Vulture to act his age. And much to Peter's surprise they showed a clip of that battle.
Both Spider-man and Ultimate were facing off against a group of six super villains, the Shocker with his wrist lasers and quilted suit, the Vulture a man who had to be reaching his seventies, Electro, Hydro man who fought with Ultimate in his gigantic liquid form, the Black Cat and Mysterio.
"Mysterio I see you've still got a fish bowl for a head" Spider-man said cockily as Mysterio appeared with his white smoke affect. The former special affects coordinator wore his green armour built with various gadgets used to create illusions. Ultimate was mimicking Electro's abilities shooting at Black Cat and Vulture who performed various manoeuvres to avoid his attacks. When Hydro man transformed into his water form Sven immediately switched Electro's powers off and as his mimic marks glowed a sea blue colour he turned into water and smashed into both Black Cat and Shocker. Shocker immediately took his wrist blasters off and threw them into the air where they exploded from being overloaded. Ultimate turned back into flesh form and ran at the Shocker his mimic markings glowing a silver colour as he dealt a swift punch to the mans head knocking him out of the fight, the Black Cat swiped her claws at Ultimate who was barely able to dodge each of her blows. Sven concentrate hard as his left gauntlet took shape into a short wrist blade. He blocked one claw swipe then jumped in midair and dealt a kick to the Black Cat's shoulder before he grabbed her choker and threw her into Electro. Spider-man meanwhile was punching at numerous holograms of Mysterio trying to find the real one; he closed his eyes and waited trusting his spider sense and Beck to make some kind of mistake. Suddenly Hydro man swung his huge fist back and tried to crush Peter who quickly rolled out of the way, his spider sense rang as Mysterio appeared behind him, the eye like bucklers of his shoulders suddenly shot two thin pink beams that slammed into Spider-man stunning the hero before Vulture grabbed him flying in midair before he slammed Peter into a car. Electro became angered when he threw the unconscious form of the Black Cat off of him. The villain growled as he hit Ultimate with a near full power electric blast, luckily the second skin protected the rookie hero from any serious damage but he still fell onto his knees smoking.
"Ultimate I'm on my way!" Spider-man said as he jumped off the car and onto the Vulture, he then jumped off of him forcing him to land on the ground. Peter landed behind Electro and punched the villain as he turned around to blast him. He then shot two webs at Electros feet and threw him over his shoulder and into Hydro-man who was currently out of his liquid form since he only had the water left in his suit to control.
"SPIDEY WATCH OUT!!" Ultimate yelled but it was too late the Black Cat swung into Peter tackling him. The two rolled on the floor before Spider-man smashed his former girlfriends arms against the ground, Felicia clearly enjoyed having Peter on top of her even licking her lips seductively.
"This looks familiar doesn't it Spider?" Black Cat asked as she moved her face closer to Spider-man's.
"I…uh…. yeah it…" Peter stuttered nervously until the thought of his current girlfriend Gwen came into his mind.
"HEY SPIDEY QUIT GOGGLING AND TAKE HER DOWN!!" Ultimate yelled before he was pushed into a brick wall by Hydro man's water fist. Sven smiled beneath his second skin as he mimicked Hydro mans powers again turning himself into water and swimming along the liquidized fist then turning back into his regular form and punching the villain in the chest. Peter got off of the Black Cat then turned his attention to Electro who was stirring awake, he leapt at Electro landing on his back and smashing his head on the concrete knocking him out. Ultimate dealt one more punch to Hydro man who fell to the floor unconscious and bruised. The rookie gritted his teeth as he watched Black Cat swing away followed by a pursuing Spider-man. He suddenly felt a grip on his heel.
"Cursed hero always getting in our way" Vulture said.
"Aw shut up and act your age grandpa!" Sven said before he kicked the villain knocking him unconscious. "Seriously you've got to find another hobby, how about fishing I hear the peace is great".
Peter also regretted that day a bit, while they had managed to arrest those villains and put them back in the Triskelon he failed to catch up with the Black Cat. But Sven didn't hold it against him; in fact he even patted him on the back saying he was a decent guy to still care about a former girlfriend.
Meanwhile at Stark tower in Tony's Iron-tech lab Sven stood in the armour gallery with a very serious expression on his face.
"So let me get this straight Tony, you sell posters of me and I don't get a dime, and where do you even get my image from?" Sven asked Tony who was as usual drinking a glass of wine.
"CG is a magnificent thing these days, you could make anything and make it look completely real and believable, besides don't worry the moneys going to a good cause"
"Well I don't actually care whether you do use my image to make profit without me getting something out of it, this isn't something I want to get paid for because peoples lives don't have a price, I don't even care whether people give me a thank you or the papers ridicule me cause the only reward for me is using my power for the right reason" Sven explained as he sat on one of the metallic chairs. "So besides the news of you selling my image what else is new?"
"Fury wants us as our super identities to meet him along with a few other super humans including the FF and Spider-man at the Triskelon" Tony said gulping down his drink then refilling it.
"And I assume you know what it's about"
"Yep it is, it's a meeting concerning the membership of the latest team Fury will be putting together, his strike team is disbanded so he's helped me muster enough super humans for a project I call True Avengers"
"True Avengers, wait a minute the public called Fury's strike team the Avengers but they were merely under the American governments employ"
"It can be America or Iraq, wherever there are people in trouble the "True" Avengers will help them"
"What about the X-men?"
"They'll remain independent but monitored by S.H.I.E.L.D and they've got their own issues to deal with at the moment"
"Don't you mean chapters?"
"Have you been hanging out with Deadpool?" Tony asked raising his eyebrow at the teen who rubbed his head grinning.
"It was an interesting encounter but I wont go into detail about it, I'll just say I kind of kicked his ass when he attacked me in the middle of a school hour, fortunately nobody saw me change and nobody was hurt"
"Well be careful with Deadpool he can be a nice guy one minute and another he could do something like stab you in the leg"
"Your over exaggerating Tony, and it's not as if I'm going to invite him to my house for dinner that would be stupid"
"Anyway I noticed that you can only fly when you mimic someone who can so that's why I built you a flight platform, come with me and I'll show it to you" Tony said as he walked to a steel door and typed the code in. When it opened Sven whistled as it showed what looked like a miniature jet of some sort.
"It uses similar technology to what the Green goblin used in his glider except for this is used purely for flight, it can go up to a maximum speed of Mach 2 without the G forces injuring the pilot"
"And I suppose my second skin doubles as a flight suit to help me cope with the wind rushing on my face" Sven said as he looked at the flight unit. "How do you fly it?" he asked eagerly.
"It's controlled by the feet kid so read the manual while I pick out what to wear for the party" Tony said smiling.
"We're leaving now?"
"Unless you need an agent to distract your mother"
"No she's out of town and my sisters at a friends house"
"Well that's lucky of you, Peter will probably be late because he has to wait for his Aunt May to go to sleep before going out at night" Tony said as he pressed a button on his chair and many doors slid open revealing different styles of Iron Man armour. "Say Homer do you think I should go with the Silver Centurion look or perhaps my Ultimate armour"
"What about the red and gold armour you wear most of the time?" Sven said and the hologram Homer nodded his head in agreement.
"Lets see I'm looking to impress a fair lady tonight so I'll wear the newest armour I made, my Mk four armour!"
"He upgraded the red and gold look?" Sven asked Homer.
"It is similar to the armour he calls Ultimate MR Reilly although it incorporates a much brighter red and gold colour"
"Well Ok then I'm ready" Tony said putting his helmet on. "You confident enough to fly on the glider?"
"Yeah I got a good idea of how it works from the manual" Sven said as he covered himself in his Second Skin and walked with Tony to the Quinn jet hanger where a fresh flight deck was waiting for Ultimate.
"YAAHOOOOH!!!" Ultimate yelled as he flew above the city on the customised blue glider. Sven liked a lot of things but he now knew that flying, helping people and Donna Kebabs with Garlic Mayonnaise were his top favourite things.
Tony shook his head as he flew behind Sven.
"Hey Iron man Ultimate!" A voice cried.
Ultimate looked beside him to see none other than the Johnny Storm the Human Torch flying next to him and above them were the rest of the Fantastic Four in the Fantasticar.
"Hey Doctor Richards how have you been!" Iron man said to the brown haired genius and leader of the Four Reed Richards or Mr Fantastic as some called him.
"I've just finished the latest model of observation satellites, alls I need is confirmation from NASA and I can send it into deep space to explore" Reed said and Tony nodded his head respecting the great scientist.
"And what about your beautiful girlfriend?"
"Oh she's just fine" Sue Storm or the Invisible Women Reed's stunning blonde haired girl friend and Johnny's sister replied.
"Hey you didn't forget me did you?" The Pilot of the Fantasticar asked a muscle bound individual with orange granite skin. He was Ben Grimm the Thing Reed's best friend and the teams heart and muscle.
"Good to see you again Ben, I didn't think any of you would become involved with the Avengers" Tony said.
"Well it was Johnny who insisted that we come" Sue said.
"Yeah the guys supposed to be twenty but he still acts like he's 15" Ben said as both Torch and Ultimate swooped down towards the city.
"I think Mr Storm and Ultimate are going to be late for the meeting, oh well they might have a little fun with the frightful four down there" Tony said.
"Whose down there, Dragon man, Titania, Trapster and Blastaar" the Thing said.
"Should we help them Reed?" Sue asked.
"They'll be fine, Johnny maybe hot headed but he knows not to take too many risks besides we cant just leave those four alone and there's a likelihood that there are other heroes on their way here so there's no need to worry, plus Ultimate's apparently the power fullest super human in existence" Reed said as the fantasticar and Iron man flew away from the soon to start battle.
"This is just too easy!" Trapster said as he took the money from an armoured car. He wore a simple green sweater with a balaclava and jeans, strapped to his back was a steel tube containing his home made paste which would shoot out of his pistol.
The next member of the ragtag group was the huge dragon shaped android Dragon man. Another member of the group was Blastaar a former ruler of a race known as the Baluurians, he looked like a cross between a man and an ape with the mane that passed for hair and a beard, he wore a blue armour style costume that left his arms exposed. The final member of the makeshift team was Titania a woman with super strength who wore a red and purple one-piece costume that left her midriff exposed.
"I would have hoped that the supposed defenders of this city would offer more of a challenge" Blastaar said as he fired one of his plasma bolts at an incoming police car. Suddenly another Plasma bolt clashed with the one Blastaar had thrown blowing a hole on the concrete.
"YOU WANT A CHALLENGE YOU'VE GOT ONE THADE!!" Ultimate yelled jumping off his flight unit and onto the streets landing in the middle of the four super villains.
Titania roared in anger as she ran at Ultimate whose mimic markings were glowing purple. As she swung her fist back to punch him Johnny swooped down from the air grabbing the woman by the hair and throwing her into an abandoned car. Ultimate mimicked Blastaar's powers and fired a plasma bolt at Dragon man knocking him to the ground. Blastaar himself growled as he jumped off the car he was standing on and blasted Ultimate into the side of a car.
"Ok General Thade lets have some fun" Ultimate said as he got off the floor.
"Why do you insist on calling me Thade?" Blastaar asked doing little to hide his already rising anger.
"Don't tell me you've been on Earth and you've never watched planet of the Apes!" Ultimate said as he dropped into a fighting stance ready for his battle against the Frightful Four.
