In the center of New York, inside the cutting-edge technology lab of Stark Tower, Allens' laboratory was completely sealed off. Dressed in a sharp suit, Allens stood before a 3D printer, both hands moving swiftly as he constructed a complex data model in midair.
After easily defeating the Abomination, Allens — the new Iron Man — had become even more famous. Even S.H.I.E.L.D. had begun extending olive branches toward him, but he rejected them outright.
At that moment, Allens had already been inside the advanced laboratory for three straight days. During this time, the light of wisdom in his mind surged wildly. He finally understood why Thanos once said Tony Stark was "cursed with knowledge."
The brilliance of Stark's mind allowed him to constantly generate new ideas. Tony Stark had created the Iron Man armor after analyzing just 30% of the data he needed — a testament to the terrifying power of his intellect.
But Allens was even more terrifying. After inheriting Tony's light of wisdom and all his knowledge, he received an additional 1000% intelligence boost from Dr. Samuel Sterns' brain. At this point, Allens' mind was more powerful than a quantum supercomputer.
"J.A.R.V.I.S., integrate the Quantum Bridge formula into the armor's module," Allens commanded.
Before him, the 3D printer projected a three-dimensional Iron Man armor model. Beside it, a tiny, radiant module began forming — glowing faintly with blue energy.
"The Quantum Bridge formula has been integrated… Integration complete, sir. The Quantum Bridge Shuttle Module is ready. Shall I install it into the suit?" J.A.R.V.I.S.'s voice carried a note of awe as he followed Allens' instructions to the letter.
"Let's see the results, J.A.R.V.I.S.," Allens said with a confident smile, a stylus clenched between his teeth.
Click.
Following his command, the module was inserted into the armor's core. A burst of blue light flared, then stabilized — the Quantum Bridge Shuttle was complete.
This was one of Allens' personal inventions, based on quantum bridge teleportation technology he retained from his previous timeline. Back then, he had wielded countless superpowers — this quantum bridge ability was merely one of them.
"J.A.R.V.I.S., construct the Teleportation Module."
Allens studied the data model calmly. He wasn't surprised — his mind had already simulated countless possible outcomes, each more precise than the last.
The 3D printer whirred to life once more, and moments later, it produced a cubic metal module glowing faintly with blue light. Allens picked it up, smiling faintly.
"J.A.R.V.I.S., set the South Pole as the Quantum Bridge coordinate point."
"As you command, sir," J.A.R.V.I.S. replied, though his tone carried a trace of unease. "Sir, this module has not been tested yet. Are you sure—"
Before J.A.R.V.I.S. could finish, Allens twisted his wrist and activated the module. His entire body was enveloped in a soft blue light.
"J.A.R.V.I.S.," he said calmly, "sometimes you have to learn to run before you can walk."
In an instant, Allens vanished from the Stark Tower.
In the icy wilderness of Antarctica, a blue shimmer appeared — and from it stepped Allens. The brutal polar wind had no effect on him. His Psychokinesis shield kept him perfectly insulated.
"Not bad," Allens murmured. "J.A.R.V.I.S., initiate return."
The smart glasses on his face streamed real-time data, linked directly to J.A.R.V.I.S. through satellite. The blue energy flickered again, and Allens disappeared from Antarctica — reappearing moments later in his lab.
He set down the teleportation module and immediately began designing another component.
Allens had gained numerous superpowers in his last timeline — some usable, others not. Metal manipulation, electrical control, vibration, intangibility, super strength, freezing, energy absorption, illusion, and even life drain — all were being integrated into his next armor design.
With his intellect enhanced by 1000%, Allens' mind could instantly recall complex neural pathways. Converting those mental structures into circuitry took time, but it was far from impossible.
In just three days, Allens had mastered the principles of quantum mechanics. The light of wisdom within him constantly spawned new ideas, laying the groundwork for his teleportation module.
"J.A.R.V.I.S., begin construction of the Mark Super-Type I armor."
While Allens continued designing, he issued another command. J.A.R.V.I.S. immediately began controlling the lab's automated equipment, assembling the armor piece by piece.
Thanks to the vast resources of Stark Industries, Allens had access to any material he needed — even Vibranium. But this time, he chose not to use it. Instead, he constructed the armor from a specialized titanium alloy.
Because of the new super module, the entire suit shimmered with a deep blue glow.
"Sir, the Super-Type I armor has been completed," J.A.R.V.I.S. announced.
Allens didn't even need to look back; he could feel the hum of power behind him.
"Excellent," he said, lips curling into a faint, knowing smile. "Let's test its combat performance."
Although Obadiah Stane was dead, Tony Stark still had many enemies — including Ivan Vanko, the future Whiplash.
But Allens, who had completely replaced Tony Stark, had no interest in racing — so Ivan never got the chance to ambush him at a racetrack.
Instead, the cunning Vanko used his father's Arc Reactor blueprints and his own knowledge of Stark's technology to infiltrate Hammer Industries, becoming Justin Hammer's top mechanical engineer.
Even though Ivan Vanko posed no immediate threat, it was still 2008 — the age before most superheroes and supervillains had emerged. So, with nothing else to occupy his genius mind...
Allens decided to kill Ivan Vanko.
Just to pass the time.
