Glancing at Charlotte, sleeping on his side, Jay began thinking about the future. Taking out his phone for a quick look at the date.

'It's the 15th of October, about 3 months till the Jericho missile demonstration and the kick start to the MCU'

Turning off his phone, he began to plan for the future.

3 month later, in rural Afghanistan desert.

"For your consideration, the Jericho"

With the man word the mountain range behind him erupt in an explosion with the shockwave reaching several kilometers away causing the crowd in the demonstration to be slightly pushed back.

After the demonstration, he gets in a Humvee to return to the airport for a flight back to New York.

Inside the car, 3 soldiers and a middle aged man are sitting in silence before one of the man embarrassedly question.

"Can i take a picture with you sir?"

"Are you aware that Native Americans believe photographs stealing a little piece of your soul?"

Awkward silent unsure before the man start talking again.

"Not to worry, mine's long gone. Fire away"

The soldier excited pose next to the famous weapon dealer as another ones take the picture of him with the C.E.O of Stark industries, Tony Stark himself, but before he had a chance to take a look at the picture.

A massive explosion rock them, the car in front turn into a fireball, Stark is rocked side way, catching a glance of the side mirror he see the car behind suffering the same fate. And not before long their car is also hit by a rocket

Waking up from the shock, Stark try to crawl out from the wreckage, hearing the sound of gun and battle shout, Tony tried to look for cover.

But before he can do anything, he is knocking at the back of the head by a terrorist, before losing conscious he saw on the shell of one of the bombs.

'Stark's Industries'

Then he faint.

"Earlier this month, Stark group Convoy Stark was attacked by a terrorist group, it is uncertain of his fate as there was no body to be found at the scene. Some said that he is being held hostage, others believe 'The Merchant of Death' have been given an offer he can't refuse by Death himself. And now for the weather... "

Turning off the TV, Jay stand up and went to the kitchen to make lunch, while thinking to him.

'Tony Stark has been kidnap, next he would break out in 3 months’ time but the world doesn’t know that. This would be a good time to invest on Stark Industries market'

It not that he didn't want to run to Afghanistan to look for Tony and extort, eh no, ask some cash for recusing him but he didn't know where he is exactly and flying around the burning desert seem like a pain.

Taking out his phone to check his bank balance, 200,000.

After gaining his power, Jay quit his job to begin training, which just mostly involves lying on top of his house and sunbathing but when his saving starts to run short, he began to use his power as a way to get some money.

It isn't very legal though.

No, not robbing a bank or holding another school hostage.

In the 3 months since he got his power, the rumor of a mysterious figure, dress in black beating, robbing various criminal and raiding their hideout, taking their money.

Various gang become more vigilant in their dealing and more aggressive when threaten, misunderstanding and distrust began to grow among gangs. Gang’s war erupts more frequently and the police have their hand full dealing with the situation.

The underground crime boss, Kingpin, himself put a 1 million $ bounty on, what the people and gangs call the 'Phantom'.
