Superman

The corner of Luke's mouth curled up, and he continued.

"Could it be, are those all true?"

The more Clark listened, the happier he became, and his depressed mood instantly cheered up.

"So those policemen won't come looking for me anymore? I don't have to be forced to drop out of school?"

The little cousin's thinking is still at a relatively simple level.

At this time, he was no different from other people of the same age, his mind was full of hormones.

Just thinking about Lana's better face, and her hot, youthful figure.

Seeing this, Luke shook his head helplessly.

A man's maturity is often due to a woman.

When Clark is completely broken in love, he will understand that it is better to be a Saiyan without feelings.

"but--"

Luke paused, and said the word Clark didn't want to hear at all.

"It's impossible for me to erase all the influence. The residents of the town will start talking about you, and they will attach some mystic or religious things to you."

"Clark, the peaceful life before has left you."

"Because they saw it, you squeezed a shotgun with your bare hands and nothing happened... It's some kind of incredible 'miracle', you know?"

The smile on the little cousin's face froze, he was completely unaware of these problems.

Thinking of the spaceship in the Kent farm warehouse and his own identity, Clark seemed to be deeply shocked and dejected.

"That's why Dad asked me to hide myself..."

He felt like he screwed up everything.

But in such a critical situation at that time, he had no other choice but to rush forward to stop the gangster from hurting his mother.

"Clark, have you ever thought about it, hiding yourself is not a good choice."

Luke patted his little cousin on the shoulder, and said slowly: "Jonathan must have told you that it is meaningful for you to come to this world. You are some kind of symbol, some kind of symbol."

"But that is a thorny road. If you choose to be a flag, or a lighthouse in the eyes of mankind, you will have to bear a lot of criticism."

"People who are afraid of the unknown, they will misunderstand you, hurt you, and see you as an alien, a monster."

Clark lowered his head, and the original steadfast light in his eyes seemed a little dim.

"Then what should I do?"

He took a deep breath and looked at his big cousin who had gradually built up trust.

"Of course, debut and become an idol... Ahem, I mean, you can choose not to hide yourself, and tell the world who you are!"

Luke was so loud that he had already thought about the follow-up public relations plan.

As long as Clark agrees, then Superman will appear in this world.

Then, it's like toppling the first domino.

Superheroes will spring up like mushrooms after rain.

"Instead of being afraid of rumors and allowing slander, why not be brave, stand in front of them and tell them that you have good intentions?"

Luke's voice was full of contagion, making Clark's gloomy eyes shine again.

"I'm going to admit that I'm an alien?"

The little cousin asked hesitantly.

"It doesn't have to be like this. The identity of an alien will attract the vigilance of the government and the rejection of the masses..."

Luke's eyes flickered, and he was thinking about what kind of origin story he should make up for his little cousin.

Bitten by some kind of animal?

Or hit by gamma rays?

"You came from a laboratory, a super-soldier serum created Clark Kent, making you infinitely stronger."

Luke thought for a moment and said word by word.

"Laboratory, serum...is this too sci-fi?"

Clark scratched his head, he prefers the clichéd stories in which the kind protagonist impresses the gods and is then bestowed with divine powers.

"You can't rob your own set of scripts."

Hearing his little cousin complain, Luke shook his head and said.

That belongs to the wisdom that locked the door... oh no, the wisdom of Solomon, the origin story of Shazam.

"Water Company under my name has negotiated with the Ministry of National Defense for some biological modification related business in the past two years, which just serves as a suitable background."

Luke snapped his fingers, put his hands on his little cousin's shoulders, and said in a low voice, "I even thought of the code name for you, how about calling it 'Motherlander'?"

"Motherlander?"

Clark froze for a moment, feeling a little strange.

"Why is it called this?"

Luke tried to hold back a smile, as if thinking of Superman wearing the American flag and giving the media his trademark smirk.

"Using a title like 'Motherland' can make the government less vigilant. They will want to turn you into...a propaganda tool, such as selling national debt, making movies, etc., and will also accept your existence more."

Hearing what his cousin said, Clark shook his head again and again.

He didn't like being the center of attention, especially being pushed onto the stage.

That didn't fit the Kent family's educational philosophy.

Debuting and becoming an idol is not naturally suitable for Clark.

"Okay, I just said it casually."

Luke smiled and returned to the topic.

If you let the plot develop, follow the track that has already been delineated.

Then his coming is meaningless and a waste of time.

So for Luke, it is more happy to see change.

Whether good or bad.

The emergence of Superman means opening a new era of superheroes.

He will come into contact with more key figures, and his connection with this universe will deepen day by day.

Dr. Manhattan can no longer erase his own existence like deleting files.

"I hope Jonathan doesn't blame me for taking you down an unknown path, Clark."

Luke rubbed his little cousin's little curly hair. This opportunity came up ingeniously, neither too early nor too late.

"This is my own choice, big cousin."

Clark's eyes are firm. He has long been fed up with all kinds of troubles caused by swallowing his breath and hiding his abilities.

If, as Luke said, he can stand up bravely and show his kindness.

Maybe everything will get better.

"Then it's decided."

Luke crushed the can in his hand, and threw it precisely into the trash can in the distance.

The latter learned everything, but unfortunately it was a little bit worse.

The coke can hit the edge, and with a "bump", it bounced off.

"Learn to control your own power."

Luke said so.

The little cousin nodded, when he faced those gangsters.

I can't control the strength of my fist completely like before.

According to the news that the eldest cousin received, the lives of those two unlucky guys were not in danger.

At most it was a severe concussion, plus extensive contusions and broken bones.

This is set in Gotham, where the bank robbers are caught by Batman.

At least break more than double-digit bones, and be scared to death by the way.

Next, Luke chatted casually and left the hospital.

Clark needs a candid conversation with his adoptive father, Jonathan, who is tasked with formulating plans for Superman's debut.

Regarding public opinion, the first show, and all kinds of public relations... It's not something that can be easily solved.

It might be better to switch to the Marvel Universe.

With the official status, coupled with the powerful status, and the influence of many halos, no one can stand in front of him.

"Don't worry about the first show. There are so many mutants in the town who have been exposed to kryptonite radiation for a long time. They are excellent opponents."

Luke sat in the car, like an entertainment company agent, thinking carefully about how to package his little cousin and create a good image.

……

……

The Kent child has extraordinary powers, and the news spreads quickly in the small town.

From the very beginning, Clark took down rumors of two gunmen.

In less than half a day, it has turned into overthrowing groups of violent elements.

A shotgun shot turned into a Gatling machine gun shot.

With such exaggerated manpower and firepower, those who didn't know thought the town was under a terrorist attack!

Jonathan and Martha felt very distressed when they returned home. Friends who usually go to church together, neighbors who are close next door... They asked about Clark if they had anything to do.

The police in the town also came several times, because the surveillance camera failed for some reason, and they couldn't prove the abnormality of the high school student.

Suddenly, the peaceful life was broken.

Even when Clark was in school, people around him were quietly discussing and observing secretly.

There was a strange look in their eyes, he could feel it.

Everything is turning in a bad direction, just as the big cousin expected.

Clark had heard his parents mention moving in the middle of the night.

Frankly speaking, he felt inexplicably wronged.

You obviously did something good, why should you be treated like this?

Clark, who felt resentful in his heart, finally understood what the criticism, rumors and slander that his big cousin said was like.

He believes that only people with extremely strong hearts and extremely firm wills can bear this pain and become a symbol in his father's mouth.

The tormented life lasted for a week, and the situation finally ushered in an improvement.

The public's attention is drawn to superheroes, and a guy named "Superman" appears in Metropolis.

The red cloak, the strong body, the ability to fly into the sky and escape from the ground... instantly detonated the news media.

"That's a bird? That's an airplane? That's—Superman!"

Planet Daily was the first to quote this sentence and published it on the headline page.

Everyone is discussing who Superman is, where he came from, how he managed to lift a runaway truck and rescue a crashed plane...

"Superman?"

Clark scratched his head. He always felt that the image of the other party was very similar to the first time he saw his eldest cousin.
