"Am I Superman?"
Clark took over the uniform with both hands, like an athlete holding a heavy championship trophy, with excitement on his face.
He was like a child who was praised by the teacher. He was happy but also a little overwhelmed.
For Clark, this is more than just a uniform to wear, it represents recognition and honor.
Superman!
Isn't this exactly what adoptive father Jonathan said, a symbol of some kind
"Do you think I have time to fly around and deal with those endless crimes?"
Luke shrugged and returned to his dark red cloak and metal suit.
His guest appearance in Superman was originally intended to divert public attention, provide an internship job for his little cousin, and promote the early formation of the Justice League.
The Watt company under his own name will also continue to follow up and prepare for subsequent publicity, packaging and operations.
Strive to make Superman the most popular IP in the world.
Now is just the first step, there is still a long way to go.
I believe that a two-and-a-half-year internship will be enough for Clark to complete his studies, leave this novice village of a small town, and enter a wider world.
"I thought everyone wanted to be a hero..."
The little cousin was surprised.
Judging from Luke's tone, the eldest cousin seemed to have no nostalgia for Superman's identity.
This is the hottest darling in the media recently.
Even though Clark has no interest in pursuing fame and fortune, the thought of becoming a superhero praised and praised by everyone still makes his heart a little excited.
"Little cousin, let me tell you something. The bigger the chest, the greater the responsibility... Oh no, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility."
Luke spoke earnestly and began to impart life lessons.
“When you receive attention, you also have to shoulder expectations, responsibilities and unrealistic fantasies.”
"The public will regard you as a moral model and a perfect person, so any flaws or mistakes will cause you to be scolded and malicious..."
"Like I said, it's a thorny road."
Clark nodded vigorously, without the slightest hint of retreat in his eyes.
"But no matter what? You will be a member of the Superman family from now on."
Luke patted his little cousin on the shoulder and wondered when the other Kryptonian cousin would come over.
Supergirl Kara-Zor-El was originally Superman's cousin, but because she came to Earth much later than Clark, she automatically became a cousin.
"I'll do it right!"
Clark puts on the Superman uniform and feels full of power.
Facing his little cousin's uncontrollable excitement and excitement, Luke just smiled.
Maybe in the eyes of outsiders? Superheroes have endless glory.
He is sought after wherever he goes? He is like the most dazzling star.
But in fact, it is not as beautiful as imagined.
Not to mention that it is completely powered by love, and there are no five insurances, one housing fund, wages and benefits and other living guarantees.
I am also responsible for reimbursing uniforms and equipment? It consumes a lot of money.
If the crime rate in the city is as high as Gotham? It means that you have to work overtime every day, and you must rush to the scene as soon as possible when an emergency occurs.
Forget about the 996 blessings, put it on superheroes.
It can be said that it is open all year round, without holidays.
Even if you are having sex with your girlfriend? You have to quickly draw your gun, put on your uniform and rush to the front line.
Luke clearly remembers that his little cousin was like this several times.
He was kissing and touching his girlfriend Louise Lane, and he was about to go off the gun.
Then there was a shooting somewhere in Metropolis? He could only say regretfully and fight another day? Then he turned and left.
Leaving your girlfriend alone in an empty room? No way.
Superman and Lois Lane? This famous model couple often has emotional crises, and it is not without reason.
All in all, the profession of a superhero has no appeal to Luke.
He would rather be a neutral jumping left and right than a firefighter.
"From now on, the metropolis and this town will be your jurisdiction. In addition to daily special training, you must also check in on time and start duty."
Luke put away his distracting thoughts and handed over the work tasks to his little cousin.
Starting today, Superman will make his official debut.
It is estimated that it will not be long before the fame will spread all over the world.
I wonder if Batman at this time has learned from the ninja master and returned
"So, is there anything you should pay attention to when being a superhero?"
Clark was a little nervous, with the kind of trepidation an intern might have on her first day at work.
"Well, for you, reducing battle losses is the most noteworthy thing."
Luke pondered for a moment before holding back these words.
He didn't want his little cousin to become a demolition team, which would affect the public's good impression of Superman.
Fortunately, the criminals in Metropolis are still in a relatively simple stage for the time being.
Gang leaders, smugglers, street gangsters, gun-toting gangsters... these kinds of things can't cause much damage.
"In addition, you must learn to fly before you officially take up the job."
After these days of fighting, Clark is much stronger than before in terms of power control.
It's time to think about using your body to defy gravity and soar into the sky.
And as the eldest cousin, Luke also has to teach some special methods of time management.
Otherwise, Clark goes to school during the day for special training.
On duty at night, clock in.
Without adequate rest time, it is likely to affect the growth and development of the little cousin.
In the days that followed, Clark lived an extremely fulfilling life.
He participates in football team training at school every day, deals with Lana and her boyfriend, and performs scenes of a teenage love story.
In the evening, he would fly from Kansas to Metropolis, handle several cases, and dominate the headlines of the Astronomical Daily for a long time.
To paraphrase Batman Future, even if Superman saves a cat from a tree.
They all want to talk about it at length and praise it.
Compared to Marvel next door, the Daily Bugle is a loyal fan of Spider-Man.
Daily Planet can be regarded as the base camp of Superman’s support group.
There is a little fanboy cameraman in the front, and a girlfriend reporter in the back.
…
…
in a small town.
A mansion.
"Godfather, have you seen the recent news?"
Lex put his legs on the table, crumpled the newspaper in his hand, and threw it into the nearby fireplace.
"Superman, Superman... Every day I see that guy in a red cape, flying around and making headlines!"
"Isn't there a newspaper that is willing to take the time to report some other news?"
"Like Lex Luthor, a young and promising entrepreneur who created thousands of jobs in the town."
Holding a lead box and looking at it carefully, Luke automatically blocked out Lex's complaints.
These days, there is a lot of public opinion and news about Superman.
As fans increase, anti-fans are also gradually forming.
Humans are complex creatures, and the reasons why they hate someone or something are sometimes very simple.
For example, Lex doesn't like Superman.
There is no other reason than that it is inexplicably annoying.
"Lex, if you want people to notice you, either learn to create a gimmick or... spend some money yourself."
He opened the box and used tweezers to pick up a candy-sized piece of kryptonite, the latest discovery of the archaeological team.
"It's just propaganda, it's not shabby. Buy the trolls and go on the hot searches... I don't need to teach you how to do this."
Lex curled his lips and ignored the strange terms in the godfather's mouth.
He finally made some achievements, but no one noticed at all. Everyone was attracted by Superman.
This made Lex, who had always been proud and arrogant, angry, and subconsciously developed a deeper dislike for the red cloak.
"I just think the world is stupid. A person with unknown origins and a person who shows great strength... everyone actually regards him as a superhero because he has done a few good things that are not worth mentioning."
Lex couldn't help but sneer and said in a deep voice: "What we should do most is to be vigilant and prevent this time bomb from being detonated, instead of pursuing and worshiping him crazily."
"Well, that's really thought-provoking."
Luke nodded symbolically, Lex Luthor has always been a staunch human supremacist.
In this respect, he is somewhat similar to Batman, Pharaoh, and others.
Of course, Batman believes that human beings have some kind of indestructible spiritual quality and moral bottom line.
Lex believes that a smart man like him should become the ruler and supreme leader of the world.
To put it bluntly, his human supremacy is more like playing God.
"Instead of complaining to me, you should find a way to steal Superman's limelight."
Luke closed the box where the kryptonite was stored and said with a smile.
It is interesting to think about the competition between the godson and the little cousin.
"Humph, I will."
Lex raised his head and said confidently.
"But I don't have time now, I want to help Clark solve the problem of being single."
Luke raised his eyebrows, hating Superman but becoming friends with his little cousin.
What a bloody sadomasochism. (End of chapter)
