Sista vykortet & comic

Då var det endast 1.5 km kvar på denna utmaning och de sista utmärkelserna kom på morgonen.

Steve receives reports of a scientist who is doing research into the Super-Soldier Serum that changed his life long ago. Jacob Erskine, grandson of Professor Erskine, seems to have reignited his grandfather’s research and is now looking to sell it to foreign agents. 

With this information in hand, Super-Soldier infiltrates a gala organized by Jacob and discovers more than one suspicious thing. First of all, his guards seem to have been given the serum, but they are unstable. Second, and perhaps more curious, Jacob’s wife is the spitting image of Cynthia Glass, Steve’s lover from WWII, who sacrificed her life for him. Things don’t become clearer even when Steve and Erskine come face to face. The scientist tells Super-Soldier that he has been doing research into the serum, but he is looking at curing cancer. When faced with allegations of selling it to nefarious agents, Erskine hints at a corporate takeover orchestrated by his head of security. Before they can finish their conversation, Erskine collapses. He has been shot by a sniper! His last words ring in Steve’s ears: “Protect my wife.”

With this information, Steve follows Anita Erskine to her beach house, where he finds the unsettling truth: This is all Machinesmith’s plan! Anita is nothing but an android created to attract Steve. Before he can react, Machinesmith activates a device that neutralizes Steve Rogers’s Super-Soldier Serum, rendering him just as frail as he was all those years ago before joining the army!

The Super Hero might not have the serum or Captain America costume, but he still has all the training and skills he honed over the years, and he uses them to escape. Next, he gains the trust of Anita, who knows how to reactivate the serum and where to find Machinesmith. 

After he regains his superhuman strength, Steve crashes the auction where Machinesmith is trying to sell the Super-Soldier Serum to terrorists from around the world. The Super Villain is particularly hard to defeat because his consciousness can jump from device to device in an instant. After all devices have been destroyed or disconnected, Machinesmith makes a final jump: into Anita! Just as Cynthia sacrificed herself many years ago, so does Anita, changing her programming to trap and destroy Machinesmith. 

Machinesmith’s plans seem to have been spoiled, but after inspecting the Super-Soldier Serum, Steve Rogers realizes it is a useless counterfeit, making him think there is more to this plan than he was led to believe. . . .

Avengers Postcard

Efter dagens steg, fick jag både ett vykort, samt en collectible från Avengers Super Soldier utmaningen

Captain America is the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. and is facing three major crises at the same time: The Chitauri are invading, Super Villains are attacking Manhattan, and Hydra forces have invaded Sokovia, thus gaining control of seven nuclear bombs. 

Captain Marvel, alongside the Ultimates, Quasar, and other Super Heroes, are beating back the Chitauri forces in space while the Earth’s defense shield is being repaired. Downtown, Cloak and Dagger, the Defenders, and Doctor Strange are fighting the Super Villains while the S.H.I.E.L.D. fleet is intercepting Hydra forces. 

Soon enough, everyone realizes that they have been deceived and separated from one another. A dome of darkness descends over New York, trapping the Super Heroes inside, and those fighting above Earth realize that the now functioning global shield is stopping them from returning. Everything becomes clear when Captain America orders his forces not to open fire on Hydra. Led by Steve Rogers, Hydra has won.

The new authoritarian regime is based on the idea that the strongest should rule, and every citizen is encouraged to spy on their neighbors, colleagues, and friends and report any anti-Hydra activity. 

But the Super Hero community is not about to give up. Some of them start working underground and are told by Rick Jones that a Cosmic Cube was used to rewrite Steve Rogers’s past and turn him into a Hydra agent. They also learn that the cube was shattered but they can put it back together and use it to set reality right again. They engage in a cat-and-mouse chase but are outsmarted by Hydra, who collect all but one of the fragments. 

Meanwhile, the team in space is fighting back attack after attack by the Chitauri, and the Super Heroes in New York are eking out a living in the darkness. While the Underground searches for cube shards, Natasha Romanoff, alongside a ragtag team of young Super Heroes named the Red Room, sets out to kill Captain America.

All seems lost when Natasha’s plan ends with her death and Steve Rogers harnesses the power of all but one cube shard into a suit of armor, making him as powerful as a god.

The Super Heroes don’t give up. Taking up the Captain America mantle, Sam Wilson uses the cube shard in their possession to switch off the planetary defense shield and dispel the darkness from New York. After that, however, under the stupefied gaze of everyone, he presents the shard to Steve Rogers. Steve adds the shard to his armor but soon doubles over. 

What actually happened is that Ant-Man shrank Bucky Barnes so he could enter the Cosmic Cube and find Kobik and the unaltered Steve Rogers, whom he brought back to confront Hydra-influenced Steve Rogers.

Kobik rewrites reality, undoing everything Hydra has done, while the two versions of Steve Rogers fight. Though they are matched in force and skill, Steve Rogers gets the upper hand and defeats Hydra Steve when he proves himself worthy of wielding Thor’s hammer.

60% och vykort från Avengers-Super Soldier

Inatt, efter uppdatering av gårdagens steg, uppnådde jag 60% av den totala sträckan i The Conquerors Avengers – Super Soldier utmaning och ett nytt träd planterades.

Milestone Treeplant

Steve Rogers decides to put aside his secret identity as Captain America and return to private life. His friends and fellow Avengers try to convince him otherwise, but he can’t be dissuaded.

But just because the crime-fighting Super Hero is no more doesn’t mean crime has disappeared, and the Falcon, Cap’s old partner, has to continue to fight for justice on his own. It might be easy for Steve Rogers to put aside the costume and shield, but his strong sense of justice and willingness to serve American citizens won’t go away, and it becomes harder and harder for him to stay in retirement. 

Hawkeye suggests that he could continue to fight crime under a new identity, so Steve starts workshopping names: the Adventurer, the Privateer, the Swashbuckler, the Freebooter, Migrant—and finally, Nomad!

With a new identity, a new costume, and the same old love for freedom and justice, Steve Rogers returns to fighting crime. But so does Captain America or, rather, Roscoe Simons in Cap’s uniform. 

For a while, Nomad, the new Captain America, and the Falcon protect America against enemies, but an old villain returns: the Red Skull! The Super Villain has a vendetta against Captain America, so he attacks him, not knowing that poor Roscoe is wearing the costume. 

This event shows Steve Rogers that Captain America is more than a Super Hero; he is a symbol and defender of an ideal. Plenty of villains around the world will want to destroy Captain America and all he stands for, and Steve will not risk someone else’s life. He steps into the Stars and Stripes as Captain America once more!

Tina & Jag på långpromenad

Sista lediga dagen denna påskhelg och solen sken ute. Det blåste en hel del, men det var ändå varmt när Tina och jag bestämde oss för att ut och gå en runda. Ellie ville inte följa med, eftersom hon hade huvudvärk och inte mådde så bra.

Tina & Jag gick bort mot Kroksbäck, Bellevuegården och bort till gamla stadion, för att se hur det gick med rivningen.

Gamla Stadion på väg att rivas.

Därefter vände vi hemåt och tog cykelbanevägen hemåt.

I och med denna långpromenad, kom det två nya collectibles + den första ”Comic”.

Comic 01

Första vykortet Avengers-Super Soldier

Inatt kom det första vykortet från min The Conquerer Events Challenge Avengers – Super Soldier.

It’s 1941, and the top military leaders are worried not only about the situation in Europe but also about the one within their ranks. It seems the military has been thoroughly infiltrated by spies and secret agents. 

Dr. Reinstein has been tasked with the creation of a serum that can turn the scrawniest cadet into a powerful soldier, and he is ready to demonstrate with Steve Rogers. Steve is eager to help his nation but cannot be accepted into the military on account of his weak constitution. 

As soon as the serum starts coursing through his veins, dramatic changes take place. Muscles surge across Steve’s body; he is turning into a real soldier!

The serum makes Steve Rogers into a soldier, but what truly makes him a Super Hero is his unshakable determination to protect his country.
