American comics: Something is wrong with this superhero world

Chapter 59: The Trend in the Superhero World
"The fastest man you mentioned, is that the same as what I thought?" Xiao Xian said in disbelief, The Flash is the fastest man in the world??? !!!
Isn't this a bit too much information?

"It's just what you think. Iris couldn't stand him anymore and broke up with him, but she didn't make the breakup public just to save Barry's face, and being the Flash's girlfriend has many benefits."

Catherine covered her mouth and laughed.

"Hiss, this is such a sad story." Xiao Xian couldn't help but ask curiously, "How fast exactly?"

"Iris told me this. One time she asked Barry, 'Have you started?'" Katherine imitated Iris and Barry's voices respectively. "Barry said, 'Huh? I'm done.'"

"Pfft!!! Hahahaha~!" Xiao Xian also laughed when he heard this. He thought it was a joke, but he didn't expect it to actually happen to Barry.

"I heard that Barry was injured by a school bully when he was young, and then he abused drugs, which led to both psychological and physical problems. In short, he is basically useless." Catherine shrugged and said, "We have long advised him to take less drugs, but he didn't listen."

"Wow~ Speedsters can also suffer from drug abuse?" Xiao Xian said with some surprise. "I heard that their body metabolism speed is much faster than that of ordinary people. Logically, they should also metabolize drugs much faster."

"That's why they use much larger doses than ordinary people, and they usually choose drugs with much stronger effects. If they are not speedsters but ordinary people, that amount of drugs would be enough to kill them." Catherine replied.

"America is worthy of being the country with the most drug abuse." Xiao Xian couldn't help but sigh when he heard this. Maybe it was because this world was a dark version. So far, Xiao Xian had already met two characters who were addicted to drugs.

One is naturally Harry Osborn, who took drugs and had brain problems, and wanted to shoot people in the head with a gun to watch the fireworks. The other is the Flash, who took drugs and beat people up, and became the fastest man in the world.

"Then call Iris over, it's perfect for an interview." Xiao Xian said while hugging Catherine. It's really nice to have such a thoughtful girl, but he doesn't know if Iris in this world is black.

Judging from the appearance of Katherine and the Flash, they should be the CW TV series version, but this is not necessarily the case. After all, Spider-Man and Aunt May are not the same version in terms of appearance, and Mary Jane is not any version either. She is more in line with the description in the comics, a red-haired beauty.

"She must be asleep at this time. It's already three o'clock. Besides, it's not appropriate for a reporter like her to come to a superhero party like this." Catherine explained, "You also heard the noise outside."

"I thought she was someone in the industry. After all, she's the Flash's girlfriend. Forget it. I have to go back to New York early tomorrow morning. I'll interview her another day if I have the chance."

Xiao Xian scratched his head, almost forgetting that not every superhero is not afraid of reporters like himself. He has always done things cleanly and would never take drugs or act crazy after getting drunk.

"In the eyes of superheroes, boyfriends and girlfriends are not reliable, and she is an ex-girlfriend." Catherine was a little helpless. As a doctor of biology, she actually had nothing in common with these guys who took drugs and had promiscuous sex. Heatwave and Captain Ice were all gangsters before their debut. They were not in the same class as her at all. But since she was engaged in this job, Catherine had to deal with her peers.
"I feel that the superhero circle is almost catching up with the entertainment industry. Some people even spend more money than those in the entertainment industry. Most of those in the entertainment industry, even those from poor families, have been handsome men and beautiful women since they were young. Most of them have been very popular since they were young."

"Many people in the superhero world were not only losers but also often bullied before they gained superpowers. Once they gained superpowers and achieved a class leap, many of them lost themselves and did all kinds of crazy things. I heard from Barry that he even ran into Aquaman and Octopus doing something."

"Ah?" Xiao Xian's eyes widened when he heard this. This was a bit of a big deal. Was it really the Black Patrol? But wasn't the Aquaman here married to Mera? Why was he still being unclear with the fish like Deep Sea in the Black Patrol?

However, it seems that this has been mentioned in DC film and television dramas, and it was mentioned in "Peace Messenger", but that was a joke. Now, Xiao Xian thinks it is not impossible.

After all, Spider-Man can assassinate others in order to steal their girlfriends, Harry Osborn can shoot people in the head just to satisfy his curiosity, and the Flash abuses drugs and turns into a Hawaiian God of War, who is still screaming outside. In this universe, Xiao Xian really thinks it is possible that something will happen between Aquaman and the fish.

What Catherine said was right about one thing. Many people in the superhero world, such as Peter Parker and Barry Allen, were ordinary people who were frustrated before they gained super powers. They were not even normal ordinary people. They were the kind of losers who were often bullied, and when their childhood sweetheart ran away with someone else, they could only silently bless them or even assist them.

In most comics and TV dramas, superheroes will not turn evil even if they are beaten by society, and they will still be righteous even if they gain superpowers. But in this world, without this setting, it would be good if these people at the bottom of society who are oppressed by society do not turn into super villains after gaining superpowers.

Barry Allen is better, maybe because his adoptive father taught him well, and the goddess he secretly loves has a reliable job that doesn't require him to make money. He joins the company and becomes a superhero, achieving class leap and chasing the goddess. Although he eventually becomes addicted to pleasure and becomes addicted to drugs, which causes health problems and the goddess runs away, at least the Flash didn't go to jail.

In order to lick the goddess Mary Jane, Peter was reported to have committed burglary before being noticed by a big company, resulting in no company wanting him. He became a street hero, and finally, under the temptation of Tomie, he relied on his superpowers to kill Xiao Xian and take Tomie for himself, and directly sent himself to jail.

"I don't know whether it's true or not. After all, Barry can't tell the directions after taking too many drugs. Last time in Hawaii, he beat someone up, and the company sent a special team to handle it and bailed him out. The matter was suppressed, but when he got out, he beat up the people sent by the company."

Catherine said helplessly
"Luckily, the company spent a lot of money and used both kindness and force to deal with the employee who was beaten. With the help of Reverse-Flash who is in the same ecological niche, Kid Flash's popularity did not rise. Otherwise, The Flash might have become obscure. The Star Labs group would definitely disband without him. At that time, I would either have to go solo or find another group."

"Speaking of speedsters, Quicksilver, the new kid from X Academy, is very popular. Does he have an older sister who hasn't debuted yet?" Xiao Xian thought of Quicksilver when he heard this, and then of Wanda the Scarlet Witch. Although it was a bit of a scumbag to think about other women while holding Katherine, who could refuse Wanda?

"I've never heard that Quicksilver has a sister, but I did hear that he might be Magneto's illegitimate son. Professor X pushed him to debut and gave him a lot of resources for the sake of his old friend."

Catherine said mysteriously, as if this was explosive news.
