Just a month ago.
All around the world, a sudden surge of young women in black suits appeared.
They fought crime and rescued people from disasters in various cities.
They called themselves the MIB, and their name was known worldwide.
Most people knew that these girls had first become active during the Hydra War a few months prior.
One of the three Helicarriers had been taken down by them.
Afterward, they participated in the campaign to wipe out Hydra.
However, their movements were elusive.
After the Hydra War, they completely disappeared without a trace.
Some speculated that they were girls once persecuted by Hydra, who had gathered like vengeful goddesses solely for the purpose of revenge.
Once the vengeance was fulfilled, they naturally returned to normal life.
Others said they were Tony Stark's elite "lace troupe" — women who would only take action when Iron Man needed them.
At other times, they might be corporate elites or part of Stark Industries' PR team.
This explanation had the most supporters — back then, countless male netizens would pound their chests and stomp their feet online, expressing their burning jealousy of Iron Man, wishing they could take his head.
Until a later hearing.
In a live broadcast, Iron Man swore on the spot that the MIB were all subordinates of Superman.
The rampant online speculations gradually died down.
As time passed, and the girls no longer appeared, they gradually faded from people's memories.
Until one month ago, when the Men in Black suddenly became active again around the globe.
—That was when Yelena, with Lyon's permission, began to expand the Men in Black IP.
Countless netizens had their forgotten memories suddenly reawakened.
They finally remembered once again these valiant, long-legged, slender-waisted heroines.
Only this time, everyone knew the Men in Black were under Superman's command.
Thus, the Superman support faction stepped forward and declared that Superman had dispatched his black-clad nuns to redeem all of humanity.
The opposition immediately rebutted that the reappearance of these Valkyries was the first step in Superman's preparation for a dictatorship.
Both sides argued heatedly online.
Open any webpage, and you were bound to see the two factions arguing in the comment sections.
According to Sherry—Those couple of days, even if she opened a Snow White video, someone would use it as a metaphor.
They'd say the Queen was always thinking about killing the Princess, utterly evil.
And that Superman was like the Queen, while the Princess represented ordinary people.
Immediately after, supporters would jump in and say the Prince was Superman, the Queen was Hydra, and had long been dead!
Fortunately, all this bickering gradually subsided after Supersonic Studios released the movie MIB under the same name.
That movie told the origin and mission of the MIB.
—They were a group of pitiful girls rescued by Superman.
Their creed was: Everything is permitted, nothing is true.
Their duty was to maintain interstellar relations and prevent evil aliens from invading Earth.
The movie began with the destruction of the Red Room (a codename for the Red House) by Superman and Iron Man working together.
Following the storyline of a group of tragic girls struggling, finding redemption, growing through hardship, and ultimately destroying Hydra, the film unfolded.
The promotional period for the movie wasn't long.
But within less than a week of its release — Its global box office surpassed The Dark Knight Batman, another film released by Superhero Studios around the same time.
That's right—while Superhero Studios was developing local IPs, it hadn't abandoned the DC properties either.
However, because local superheroes resonated more with the public—The DC series of superhero films weren't particularly popular.
Except for Superman.
...
MIB truly brought the girls into the public spotlight.
So when the homepage video on the major portal sites was clicked—
And a figure clad in jet-black battle armor appeared—Almost all netizens immediately recognized who it was.
They knew this person was likely speaking on behalf of Superman.
So for once, they didn't immediately refute that seemingly fantastical opening line of the video.
And as the woman in black presented one piece of evidence after another in the footage, They didn't need to refute anything anymore.
Because the evidence was irrefutable—Earth had already been infiltrated by aliens like a sieve!
"We first became aware of the existence of aliens from this video."
In the footage, the woman in black extended her palm and swiped downward—causing the screen to switch to an online video from several months ago.
In the new frame, it showed the command room inside a HYDRA helicarrier.
This scene was familiar to most internet users.
Inside the command room, the former director of S.H.I.E.L.D. was leading his subordinates in a standoff against several HYDRA operatives.
As they were speaking, someone suddenly opened fire, and in the next moment, gunfire erupted like a rainstorm.
Although the two sides had unequal numbers, the firefight was intense and evenly matched.
Until someone from the S.H.I.E.L.D. side fell—and their body transformed into a green-skinned, non-human creature.
The footage froze at that moment, then cut back to the woman in black.
She said, "The green figure who collapsed just now is one of the alien invaders."
"Several months ago, this strange figure had already drawn widespread attention."
"But at the time, the official explanation—given by former S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Nick Fury—was that the deceased was an enhanced individual, and the postmortem transformation was a side effect of the enhancement serum."
"He almost fooled the entire world," she said.
"But he couldn't fool the MIB."
"We traced the online data from that time and discovered a video that had been secretly intercepted."
The screen shifted again.
It was the same scene.
This time, Nick Fury and several others were tied up in the corner of the command room.
A HYDRA operative walked past them, but after just a few steps, he was suddenly shot dead on the spot by someone who appeared to be the HYDRA squad leader.
The moment the operative hit the ground, his body swiftly transformed—into a green-skinned alien!
A chorus of gasps erupted within the command room.
The HYDRA squad leader immediately turned his weapon and fired six shots at the six who had cried out.
All six dropped one after another—and every single one of them turned out to be green-skinned aliens too!
The scene stunned countless viewers in front of their screens.
One enhanced individual might still be believable.
But suddenly seven appeared—and they were all HYDRA operatives? How could that possibly be explained away?
The most important part was that—according to the MIB—this video had been intercepted!
And why would someone intercept it? Wasn't it precisely because it contained an unspeakable truth?
At that moment, the footage paused again and switched back to the MIB.
"This was originally a video that the Rising Tide organization planned to upload to the internet, but it was intercepted by mysterious forces."
In reality, Lyon had specifically instructed Agent K to hold onto this video until a critical moment like this to release it.
But of course, that's not how the story was told.
So the now-disbanded Rising Tide took the blame once more.
"The unusual nature of the green-skinned individuals in the video made us extremely cautious," the MIB continued.
"As a result, in the period that followed…"
"While eliminating HYDRA, we also investigated these green-skinned individuals shown in the footage."
"After several months of investigation… We discovered traces of their presence across countries around the world."
"Following these clues, we uncovered the truth!"
The MIB agent took a deep breath.
"The green-skinned individuals in the video are a species of aliens known as Skrulls!"
"They are a group of interstellar refugees who were unilaterally settled on Earth by the former S.H.I.E.L.D. director—Nick Fury!"
"If they were merely a harmless alien group, we could, at best, interpret his actions as Earth's goodwill toward extraterrestrials."
"But these Skrulls are not harmless!"
"They are cosmic scoundrels—invaders!"
