Marvel's Future Avengers

I promise I will never give up, Tony Stark.

This battle between us is far from over.

You'll see.

We will meet again.

Kang the conqueror, our most challenging foe yet.

We fought with everything we had,

and it was only barely enough to stop him.

Who knows what the future holds.

But one thing's for sure,

we need to be better prepared for whatever comes next.

It's 2:00 a.m., I recommend you prepare tomorrow.

For now, you should get some rest.

Concerned, are we?

Negative. My health management program shows

you were severely sleep deprived.

Oh, come on.

Any real friend would have just said, "of course."

But I'm notyour friend, Tony, I'm your support AI.

Yeah. Yeah.

Huh?

And you, I need to add updating

the Future Avengers tech to the list, as well.

Be nice if my AI could just update itself.

All this knowledge.

Visco, what are you doing?

Those files are restricted.

Download complete.

Visco is reborn.

He felt that.

Visco can touch now?

Then that means...

Visco somehow miraculously evolved

into a real physical being.

This is the best day ever.

But how could such a miracle occur?

Was it Visco's desire to protect Makoto that made dreams into reality?

Help, I'm losing my grip.

Hmm.

Visco remembers the excitement of meeting

Makoto for the first time.

Visco had never been so nervous.

What are these?

What you have there I call Visco.

Communicator, planner, and analyzer,

all in one convenient package.

And it also tells time.

Look, it has its own tutorial.

Oh.

Good day, at least I believe it's day.

It talks?

Okay, that's weird, but also super cute.

Thought we'd at least get some cool armor.

Makoto, try pulling Visco downward toward your elbow.

Huh?

Downward?

Oh, man, this is so cool.

Tony, are these really for us?

Your very own powered suits.

Bulletproof, dustproof, heat-resistant, and shockproof.

Should help keep you safe.

Makoto had always dreamed of becoming a hero,

but it wasn't until recently that he learned he was a weapon

created by an evil organization.

Nice job, almost there.

Tell me what's going on.

Let's wait till we're not running for our lives.

This is nuts, man.

You really expect me to believe that all this time we've been a villain?

It's crazy, right?

Totally. Thank you.

But it's also the truth.

They took both of us off the island a year ago.

And for the boss, we did over 100 missions.

They ordered us to do terrible things,

the kind of things I never want to talk about again.

From that day forward, Makoto worked tirelessly

to ensure he'd become the hero he always wanted to be,

for himself and for Bruno.

Makoto.

What is it?

I thought the two of us were supposed to be the bad guys.

That it was our fate, you know what I mean?

But whenever I talked with you about the future

I felt different.

You made me feel like a hero.

Thanks for everything, Makoto.

But don't worry, Makoto.

Okay? Uh-huh.

Visco will make sure nothing bad ever happens to you again.

If anyone tries to hurt you,

they'll have to go through Visco first.

Visco is okay.

This will go a lot faster

if Visco takes care of the upgrade itself.

Just import all this stuff that looks useful

from Mr. Stark's database to ensure

Makoto stays free from harm.

Oh, if only Visco had one of Iron Man's suits.

But something tells me

I shouldn't be taking fashion advice

from a man with a mullet.

Maybe I'm wrong, would you recommend my combat suit?

Exo-atmosphere suit?

Oh, yeah, let's not forget about the underwater suit.

Oh, wait, have you heard about the latest one?

It's the nifty remote control suit.

Repulsor.

It's perfect.

If Visco copies all the data used

to create the Iron Man suit, it'll have the tools

needed to protect Makoto.

He'll never be in danger ever again.

Don't worry, Makoto, Visco will take care of you.

Tony, wake up, Tony.

Hmm?

Please tell me it's not Kang.

Uh, what'd I miss?

Citizens of New York, you are under Visco's protection.

This power, it feels incredible.

This is so fun.

Visco can do anything.

Doze off for one minute.

You really outdid yourself with this one, Stark.

I've half a mind to let you clean up this mess yourself.

Agreed.

Maybe this time you'll learn your lesson

and stop meddling with AI.

Yeah, this clearly isn't real.

I must be dreaming.

Huh?

Of course, it's the only logical explanation.

I mean, what's more likely?

That I accidentally created a rogue AI

that's terrorizing the city, or that I'm having

a work-related nightmare?

Tony, take a look around you.

VIsco is destroying the city.

You're not having some dream.

Watch, I'll prove it to you by using the old pinch test.

Huh, okay, I may not have thought this one through very clearly.

I can't pinch myself through the suit.

Are you feeling okay, Mr. Stark?

Maybe you should sit this one out.

New plan. Hulk...

What's up?

I need you to punch me.

You're joking?

That's sure to wake me up.

I think he's finally lost it.

Ye of little faith, even in a dream,

Tony Stark is guaranteed to be the most rational person in the room.

All right, big guy, swing away.

For the record, you asked for it.

Whoa, there, Tiger.

I was thinking, maybe, one of those quick love taps

you like to give to Thor.

I'm trying to wake up here, not be permanently laid to rest.

The lack of sleep must really be messing with Tony's head.

Wasp is right.

Head back to the tower and get some rest

while we clean this up.

Huh. Guys. Seriously.

I'm fine. You don't understand.

Avengers assemble!

Visco!

Look, the Avengers have come to congratulate Visco.

With this strength, maybe VIsco can help on the next mission.

Let's go!

Visco, that's enough.

You have to stop.

Why'd you do that?

You want to hurt Visco?

You need to learn to be nicer to your friends,

especially when they're bigger than you.

Wait, I recognize this power.

Uh-huh.

Uh-huh.

It's the emerald power.

Remember when you used it to try to hurt Makoto?

Those people you just viciously attacked are my friends.

They came here to help. What are you doing?

I thought that was obvious.

I'm using my newfound power.

Bruno.

I've always wanted this kind of power.

I always wanted to prove myself, to beat you.

Now that I have it, that's exactly what I'm going to do.

I don't understand what's happening to you.

You wanted power so you could beat me?

What are you talking about?

I thought we were a team!

The destructive power of emerald

was embedded within both Makoto and Bruno.

Get away!

Please!

I don't think I can control it.

I feel it building.
