Red Rocket's armor was painted red and white, and the material wasn't outstanding; it looked somewhat bulky and simple overall.
It seemed even the most basic energy problem for his armor suit hadn't been properly resolved, as there was even a cylindrical reserve tank on his back.
Not to mention comparing it to the Iron Man Suit, it was far worse even than the War Machine armor.
"Let them go, or I—"
Before Red Rocket could finish his threat, a red ray had already struck the reserve tank exposed behind his shoulder.
"Bang!"
An explosion sounded, flames shot into the sky, and Red Rocket, like a burning human fireball, fell straight down from the air.
"Ding!"
"Combat detected, dropping reward: Red Rocket Armor."
"I guess you might think you don't have abilities and aren't afraid of me borrowing them, but have you forgotten, you don't have abilities, but they do!"
Behind Samuel, Power Woman was suppressed by Mjolnir, and Godiva was bound by her hair.
Can't borrow your abilities? Hehe, I don't need to borrow your abilities at all!
"Whoosh—"
On the distant rooftop, a golden light quickly flew towards the falling Red Rocket.
It was Golden Vanguard!
This was also someone who played with technology; although his reputation wasn't prominent in movies and TV shows, he was quite famous in the comics.
His real name is Michael Jon Carter, born in Gotham City in the 25th century. He found a job as a night watchman at the Space Museum in Metropolis, where he began studying past Super Heroes and villains, especially those from the 20th century.
He stole some equipment from the museum, including the Flight Ring of the Legion of Super Heroes and Brainiac 5's Force Field belt.
Using the Time Master Rip Hunter's time machine, he time-traveled to the 20th century. His intention was to become a Super Hero, start his own company, and enjoy a comfortable life.
In fact, Rip Hunter was his son!
(Rip Hunter was the Captain of the Waverider who gathered White Canary and others to become Legends on Earth-1)
Additionally, Golden Vanguard is also suspected to exist in the Justice League Universe. When Samuel went to Metropolis, he saw a sign for a company called Flame Comics.
That was Golden Vanguard's company!
The reason it's suspected is because in the comics, Golden Vanguard's company should be called Goldstar, Inc. or Booster Gold International.
Golden Vanguard has no superpowers, but his suit gives him Super Strength, and his wrist blasters allow him to unleash powerful Impact waves.
The wrist blasters contain basic control equipment, communication equipment, equipment for monitoring communication frequencies, etc.
The Force Field belt is part of his suit, and the circulating current it generates protects him from physical and energy Impacts.
He can also use the Force Field belt to generate powerful force to repel enemies and create a small breathable environment.
At the same time, it can absorb matter and turn it into its original or melted form, which once caused his Force Field belt to become energy depleted.
The golden goggles have infrared scanning and magnification functions.
He can Fly with the help of the Legion of Super Heroes' Flight Ring.
In short: the Flight Ring, Force Field belt, and Golden Vanguard suit are all good items, worth a sweep!
"Bang!"
Golden Vanguard landed, holding the Red Rocket whose flames had already extinguished.
Red Rocket's armor was smashed to pieces, and his helmet had been removed, revealing a bloody and blurred middle-aged man's face.
"Flash."
Golden Vanguard called out, and Hunter Zolomon instantly appeared before him, catching the dying Red Rocket.
"I'll leave him to you. Take him to the hospital."
"Don't worry."
Hunter Zolomon nodded, and with a whoosh, he disappeared with Red Rocket.
Golden Vanguard slowly ascended, level with Samuel.
"I didn't expect things to develop to this point. Fire, Killer Frost, Power Woman, and Godiva were all defeated and captured by you!"
"Red Rocket is also seriously injured!"
"You've almost single-handedly eliminated half of the League members."
Samuel said indifferently, "He who hits others will always be hit. If a dog bites us, can we bite back? No, I'm used to using a brick to kill this dog."
Golden Vanguard frowned, "You don't need to say it so harshly. Let them go, and this matter will be written off."
"Why?"
"You weren't injured. On the contrary, they were beaten like this by you. What else do you want?" Golden Vanguard snorted.
Samuel sneered, "I wasn't injured because I am strong, not because you are right!"
"Have you all become fools from being Heroes? Do you like standing on the moral high ground so much? You strike first, and if you win, you arrogantly preach, but if you lose, you resort to moral blackmail?"
"You, who do you think you are?!"
Golden Vanguard's expression turned ugly as he warned, "Do you think you've won for sure?"
"Yes, I've won for sure!" Samuel said calmly.
Golden Vanguard snorted, "You can't borrow my abilities. Even if you can borrow their abilities, you might not win against me!"
"Even if you luckily win, can you keep them by your side forever? There will always be times when you are alone, and then you won't have any abilities to borrow. How will you fight me?"
Golden Vanguard's tone changed, and he said sincerely, "I have understood what happened. This time, it is true that we didn't investigate clearly. You let them go, and I guarantee that this matter will be written off, and no one will trouble you!"
...
"Enough!"
Samuel shouted impatiently, "What do you mean 'I luckily won' and 'no one will trouble me'? How can you say such condescending words?"
"Get it straight! Now half of you have been captured or injured by me. What makes you think you are forgiving me?"
"Do you think you can counter-kill?"
Life's three great illusions: someone is calling me, she likes me, I can counter-kill!
Samuel's words were direct and harsh. Golden Vanguard, who had originally wanted to resolve the matter peacefully and rescue the people first, completely abandoned that idea!
"You'll know soon if I can counter-kill." Golden Vanguard snorted coldly, his arm shook, and he directly unleashed an Impact wave.
"Ding!"
"Combat detected, dropping reward: Flight Ring."
Samuel pouted and directly countered the wave with Hot Ray.
"Boom!"
A loud explosion, and brilliant energy burst in mid-air.
Golden Vanguard ascended to dodge, then immediately swooped down, continuously releasing Impact waves from both arms.
"Bang bang bang—bang bang bang—"
Impact waves whistled in, as if illuminating the dim night sky as bright as day.
Samuel deliberately maintained his persona and didn't use other abilities. Seeing the abilities approaching, he took a deep breath and suddenly exhaled.
"Whoosh—"
