Backstory (The Ordinary Life)
Ethan Carter was always the quiet, intelligent guy in Crestwood, someone who could easily blend into the background. But then there was Alyssa Monroe, a girl who seemed to shine brighter than anyone. For months, Ethan hesitated to approach her, but after they connected on Instagram, things changed. They spent hours chatting, discussing everything from science to their dreams. Ethan felt like he finally found someone who truly understood him.
But one day, Alyssa suddenly disappeared. She told him she was quitting Instagram to focus on her life. Hurt but holding onto hope, Ethan confessed his feelings to her, pouring his heart out. However, there was no reply. A few days later, Claire, Ethan’s closest friend, showed him a screenshot of Alyssa posting a story, laughing with her friends at a café. Ethan realized he had been lied to, and the emotional wound cut deep.
Over time, Ethan threw himself into his work—studying, inventing, and building. His brilliance earned him a scholarship to MIT and, later, the opportunity to start Carter Dynamics, a cutting-edge tech company. Now, at 28, Ethan had become one of the most promising young minds in New York, but his past heartbreak still lingered, fueling his drive.

The Rise (The Genius Awakens)
Ethan’s groundbreaking work in biomedical engineering and artificial intelligence caught the attention of powerful figures. However, it wasn’t until one fateful night in New York that everything changed.
While walking through the city, Ethan found himself caught in the middle of an attack led by a group of mysterious alien invaders. These soldiers were not ordinary enemies— they were led by none other than Loki, the God of Mischief. Loki had been gathering an army to create chaos and seize power across the realms. His primary target: Ethan Carter, whose technology could potentially fuel his plans for domination.
In the chaos, Ethan used his intellect and his newly developed exosuit to protect civilians. He managed to outwit Loki’s forces, drawing the attention of Iron Man (Tony Stark), Captain America (Sam Wilson), Black Widow (Natasha Romanoff), and Doctor Strange. Tony recognized Ethan’s potential immediately, and after a series of intense battles, he extended an invitation for Ethan to join the Avengers as their lead tech consultant.

The Catalyst (Loki’s Deception)
Once a part of the Avengers, Ethan became deeply involved in their efforts to defend Earth. His technology became a critical part of their arsenal, and his intelligence proved invaluable. However, Loki was not finished with his plans. Unbeknownst to the Avengers, Loki had infiltrated Carter Dynamics and began manipulating Ethan from the shadows, using his knowledge of advanced technology and emotion-based algorithms to subtly alter Ethan’s creations.
Loki’s goal was to create a device powerful enough to warp reality, using Ethan’s work to build a weapon capable of controlling both the minds of others and the flow of time itself. Ethan, still recovering from his past heartbreak, unknowingly began to make choices that played right into Loki’s hands.

The Battle for the Heartshard (The Avengers Assemble)
Loki, realizing Ethan’s potential, approached him directly. With his charming manipulation, Loki convinced Ethan that his ideas were being suppressed by the Avengers. He spoke to Ethan’s anger, promising that together, they could reshape the world. Torn between his loyalty to the Avengers and the lingering pain of betrayal, Ethan’s trust in Loki grew, leading him to work on an experimental device, the Heartshard—a powerful relic Loki had secretly obtained.
However, as Loki’s true intentions began to unfold, Ethan’s mind slowly cleared. He realized that the device was not meant to help people, but to grant Loki unparalleled power to manipulate minds and rewrite reality. Before Loki could execute his plan, Ethan turned against him, using his intelligence to reprogram the Heartshard and disable Loki’s control.
In a high-stakes showdown, Loki summoned his army—an amalgamation of alien forces, mystical beings, and mercenaries—against Ethan and the Avengers. The battle raged through New York, as Ethan’s tech became the key to neutralizing Loki’s forces.
Climactic Showdown: Loki’s Final Play
In the final confrontation, Loki attempts to harness the Heartshard to turn the tide of battle in his favor. As he channels its power, Ethan uses his intellect and his arsenal of tech to outsmart Loki’s deceptions. With Iron Man’s guidance and Doctor Strange’s magic, they manage to destabilize the Heartshard, preventing Loki from taking full control.
In the end, Loki’s plot is foiled, but not without cost. Ethan realizes that, despite his brilliance, he is still learning how to trust others and manage his emotions. While Loki escapes, promising to return with vengeance, Ethan’s journey toward redemption and self-worth has just begun.
As the Avengers regroup after their battle with Loki’s army, Nick Fury approaches Ethan with a serious look.
"Good work, Carter. But this is just the beginning. We need someone like you—someone who can see through the lies and deception. There's more coming, and this time, we need you ready."
The screen cuts to a dark corner of the universe, where Kang the Conqueror is seen observing the events unfold.
"Loki failed. But others will rise. And I will need allies... intelligent ones."
The camera focuses on Ethan’s determined face as he replies
"Then I’ll be ready."
