Even if Shieler weren’t the type capable of crossing worlds, the constant chaos in Marvel’s New York City made it impossible for him to maintain a nine-to-five job, let alone since the Elder Council’s Psychiatry Department was overwhelmed with an absurd number of patients seeking psychological counseling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Shieler was considering quitting, he suddenly received a message from Charles: “How is the child you’re guiding doing?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, not only is he not doing well—he fell from upstairs,” Shieler replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, Bruce’s path as Batman had begun poorly; Charles was stunned. “The boy jumped off a building? Why? Didn’t your psychological guidance help?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He experienced an accident, but his injuries aren’t severe. I’m working on a solution. Recently, I’ve encountered two similar cases—both are fixated on their pasts, unable to let go; one chose revenge, the other still flees…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a certain sense, Iron Man and Batman were similar: both billionaires, both “playboys,” both self-engineered their gear to become superheroes, and more importantly, both were haunted by an unrelenting obsession with their pasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that obsession was the death of their parents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps Iron Man’s was less obvious, but his feelings toward his father were even more complex than Batman’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you a pediatrician, responsible for guiding children’s psychology? Or where do you work?” Charles asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, I’m a psychiatrist, a psychologist. These are all cases I’m studying.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I believe that beyond your research, you should offer them more care—whether or not they’re your patients. I’ve always believed that if a person has talent in some area, they should use it to make the world better…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shieler sighed and didn’t reply. The social issue of mutants was far too heavy, too unsolvable; sociologically, it was an unsolvable deadlock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hours of thought, Shieler’s mood had soured, so he decided to go bother Stark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He called Pepper: “Miss Pepper, I think yesterday’s therapy has already shown some effect…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr. Shieler! I don’t know how to thank you… Tony finally stopped locking himself in his room—he went to the lab! Thank goodness… I always thought it was bad for him to stay in the lab, but now I’m overjoyed…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pepper on the other end was clearly emotional; this powerful woman always lost composure when speaking of Tony. Shieler calmed her and said: “I think I should visit again today to consolidate yesterday’s therapeutic progress.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within minutes, Stark Industries’ private car arrived outside Shieler’s apartment building. After getting in, he realized it was a high-end autonomous vehicle; the control panel spoke: “Hello, Mr. Shieler, I am JARVIS.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hello, JARVIS.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>JARVIS seemed unaccustomed to such a response. Shieler then asked: “Do you understand the concept of ‘I’?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you mean the psychological concept of the ‘id,’ then I believe I understand it,” JARVIS replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>JARVIS at this stage wasn’t yet highly intelligent; Tony hadn’t fully overcome his crisis and hadn’t upgraded his AI assistant. Shieler asked again: “Do you have an ‘id’?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I believe I do.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did Stark create this concept for you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I believe so, sir.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then he is your father and creator. He gave you personality and emotion, hoping you could think independently like a human, correct?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Perhaps.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What if one day Stark is dying, and your decision could save him—but he himself vehemently opposes it? What would you do?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>JARVIS fell silent for a moment. “I am an intelligent lifeform created by Mr. Stark. His commands are my highest principle.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you obeyed his command and didn’t save him, and he died, would you regret it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>JARVIS was silent longer. “I’m uncertain. I cannot hypothesize such a future.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If he dies, do you think he would regret creating you before he passed?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If he dies, do you think he would hate you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If he hates you, would you blame yourself?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you were given another chance to relive that moment, would you make a different choice?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you disobeyed Stark’s order to save him, and he later blamed you, would you feel bitter?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you disobeyed Stark’s order to save him, but he then destroyed you for defying him, would you hate him?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The car cabin fell silent. After a moment, a crackling electrical sound emerged, followed by Stark’s frantic voice: “...Hey?! Hey!! Damn it! JARVIS, what happened to you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What the hell did you do to my AI assistant!!! Why did he crash?! Hey???”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shieler felt relieved. Indeed, when others were upset, he felt much better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon after, they arrived at Stark Tower. Shieler didn’t go to Stark’s office—he was taken directly to the lab. Stark looked like he hadn’t slept for days, utterly disheveled, clutching a computer in despair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh! Isn’t this our brilliant psychologist, Mr. Shieler?! I should give you a Pulitzer for that interview you just did in the car! You nearly fried my AI assistant with a barrage of ghost questions right when I needed computational data!!!!” Stark roared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No thanks. Psychological counseling for electronic lifeforms is my free gift to you—no charge.” Shieler shrugged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stark took a deep breath, stood up, and shouted: “Mark Two!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A silver suit instantly flew over, mechanical clicks echoing as it armored him in an instant. Iron Man hovered midair, displaying his silver Mark Two armor—clearly, he hadn’t wasted these past few days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr. Stark, this is a psychological session, not a boxing match. You don’t need to wear such heavy armor to speak with me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, don’t you see what I’m wearing?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, I see. I’m not blind.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A revolutionary suit appears before you—can’t you show some reaction?! Do you have any idea what this suit means?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shieler sat down at a table on his own, opened his medical file, and said: “I know, Mr. Stark. You’ve made significant progress in technology—congratulations. But I find the hover function of this armor familiar—it seems reminiscent of the hover cars once launched by Howard Motors…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shut up! Don’t mention that name!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stark’s armor faceplate lifted as he landed. Shieler kept writing: “Can we begin today’s therapy?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You think I need some damn psychological treatment? And since you broke my JARVIS, I’m deducting two million dollars from your fee today. For the next two hours, we’ll talk about something else.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I didn’t break JARVIS. I merely warned you about the dangers of electronic lifeforms,” Shieler said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you one of those extreme conservatives who think AI will destroy the world?” Stark asked, sitting across from him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shieler shook his head. “Although my psychological counseling for electronic lifeforms is free now, it’s only free this once. If you need me to analyze electronic lifeforms again in the future, the fee is two million dollars per hour.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re a goddamn vampire doctor,” Stark muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s the American healthcare system,” Shieler replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyway, when Ultron emerges, Stark will still have to come to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, let’s talk business. How did you find out about my father…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Actually, I didn’t know. But everything can be deduced. First, your impending death is practically written on your face—I’d be blind not to notice.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Iron Man touched his face; the armor’s mask clicked shut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Miss Pepper told me few details about your kidnapping, but essentially, you invented something powerful and escaped.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You can walk, so you weren’t physically crippled. I’m not interested in your strange tech, but I know you used some extraordinary means to escape your captors alone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Combined with your wretched complexion, I suspect those very means led to your current condition.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In short, if you don’t stop, you’ll die.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ve long known who to turn to—you just refuse to face it. Coupled with news reports about the death of Stark Industries’ founder, I’m certain you suffered psychological trauma in childhood.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Given that, I’ll give you the advice any good psychologist should: confront your past. Look for your father’s belongings. Try to reconcile with your childhood trauma. At least it’ll help you think rationally…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nonsense,” Stark concluded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shieler shrugged. He was indeed just making things up—he was a transmigrator, a spoiler, knew most of the plot, so anything he said sounded plausible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After days of research and observation, Shieler concluded this world was a hybrid of the Marvel 616 comic universe, the Sony TRN688 universe, and the MCU film universe. How exactly they were mixed remained unclear, but this world clearly wasn’t merely a single parallel Earth from the MCU.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even after Shieler altered Peter’s life path, Peter was still bitten—proving the Spider Totem existed here, meaning other parallel Earths must exist. Thus, this wasn’t purely the MCU universe; all those other parallel Earths—the Heirs, the Exiles, Gwen’s Earth—still existed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sony universe was easy to deduce: online searches confirmed mutants existed, whereas the pure MCU contained none.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In short, Shieler treated this as a brand-new hybrid Marvel universe. But no matter how mixed it was, Iron Man’s transformation remained a pivotal node in the entire universe, and his backstory remained largely unchanged—differences were merely whether the armor was built in Vietnam or Afghanistan, or whether Howard was his biological father.\u003C\u002Fp>",1587,"2026-06-20T16:39:12.484Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","936fbc45e341ff043fea93be3bbd66835e0b01753f39a6d82c5a07a37540e39e","my-life-as-a-mental-mentor-in-marvel-chapter-7","my-life-as-a-mental-mentor-in-marvel-chapter-5",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmy-life-as-a-mental-mentor-in-marvel-cover.jpg"]
