60% och ny comic

Ännu en dag med en hel del steg avklarad och det kom besked om att jag passerat 60% av den totala sträckan i Avengers – Arc Reactor utmaningen.

Som ett brev på posten kom också den tredje comic:en.

Vykort nr. 2 & Collectible

Tisdagens steg gjorde så att jag kom till 86 km av min utmaning i Avengers – Arc Reactor och då fock jag vykort nr. 2 samt en ny collectible.

The events of Marvel’s Civil War begin with a tragedy. The New Warriors, a group of young Super Heroes, are filming a reality TV show where they take on Super Villains. They bite off more than they can chew, however, as the villains are far more powerful than they expected. One of the villains is Nitro, who uses his powers to trigger an explosion that kills over 600 civilians, including 60 schoolchildren.


This catastrophe forces the government to take action. The Superhuman Registration Act is proposed, requiring heroes to register their identities and operate under S.H.I.E.L.D., accountable to the taxpayers and under government control. Understanding the public’s concern, and perhaps burdened by guilt, some Super Heroes support the proposal and rally behind Tony Stark. Others fear revealing their identities and surrendering their freedom, forming a resistance that goes underground, led by Captain America.

Tony Stark’s team begins using harsher methods to convince others to register or to capture those who refuse. They even create a prison, clone Thor, and recruit the Thunderbolts. Though the two sides do not see each other as true enemies and try to avoid bloodshed, everything changes when the Thor clone kills Goliath. Spider-Man reveals his true identity, only to defect to Captain America’s side later. Sue Richards leaves her husband, Reed Richards, and joins the underground movement, while many other heroes reluctantly side with Tony.

The conflict builds to a massive showdown in Lower Manhattan, where the two teams finally clash. As Captain America’s side gains the upper hand, their leader makes a choice to surrender. He realizes they might have won the fight but they have lost the argument. Looking around, Cap understands that civilians have once again paid the price.

In the aftermath, Tony Stark creates a team of registered heroes for every state and becomes the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. It is not an easy job, and harder still will be mending the fractures left in the Super Hero community.

Färdiga med HP-The Chamber of Secrets

Idag tog Ellie och jag tag i saken och begav oss ut för att lägga de sista 8,25 km i vår utmaning The Conqueror Challenges Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets.

Vi bestämde oss för att ta ungefär samma runda som förra gången, men motsatt håll och med en liten extra sträcka bort mot Emporia.

Det visade sig att slutsträckan hamnade på hela 9,56 km. Detta var slutet på utmaningen och förutom att vi fick den sista collectiblen ”Dobby”, vi fick våra certifikat också.

Nu när vi är klara med denna utmaning och vi har hjälpt till att var och en fått 50-st plastflaskor upplockade från världshaven. Nu anmälde vi oss till nästa på tur: Prisoner of Azkaban.

Första vykortet från Arc Reactor

Efter dagens ossanolika mängd steg, fick jag det första vykortet från Avengers – Arc Reactor utmaningen.

Anthony Stark is a billionaire, a playboy, and genius inventor. He appears to have everything a man could desire and the power to get whatever he doesn’t. But his fortunes are about to change. While on a trip to demonstrate one of his new weapons in the jungles of Vietnam, he trips a wire and sets off a booby trap bomb.

When he wakes, our hero is in the hands of enemies and, worse, his brilliant mind has become their prize. Not only has Tony been wounded by the blast, but in a few days, shrapnel from the bomb will reach his heart and kill him. Wong-Chu, a ruthless warlord, promises his surgeon will save Tony’s life if Tony builds him a weapon.

Tony begins to work alongside the brilliant Professor Ho Yinsen. What Wong-Chu believes to be a new tool for his army is, in truth, a formidable suit of armor. This first creation, later known as the Mark I, not only keeps the shrapnel from reaching Tony’s heart but is powerful enough to take on Wong-Chu and his entire army.

Pushed by necessity, courage, and the will to survive, this is the beginning of an iconic Super Hero and a complicated man.
