Marvel: Son of Tomorrow

Chapter 14: The comic world is actually me?

“The richest man?”

Clark didn't know why little Jonathan asked this question, but he answered after thinking for a moment.

"I don't know the exact amount of wealth, but based on public perception, the richest man should be Tony Stark, the chairman of Stark Industries."

After hearing Clark's answer, Jonathan showed an expression of "as expected". Damian also came over.

"Now it seems that we roughly know which world you come from."

As he spoke, young Jonathan looked around and finally took out a Marvel comic directly from a desk drawer in the Daily Planet.

The protagonist printed on it is Iron Man, also known as Tony Stark.

"So, our world is a comic book world?"

At this time, Green Arrow, who had just switched shifts with Canary, spoke again, but what greeted him was Damian's expression of looking at him as if he were a fool. Even Superman was embarrassed to look at Green Arrow at this time, because even someone like Superman who didn't like such complicated thinking knew that their world would definitely not be a comic book world.

"It can only be explained by that damn Schrödinger's cat. Quantum entanglement occurred between the two worlds, and the information from the other world came to this world in this way, becoming the inspiration for some cartoonists. These cartoonists presented the information from the other world through comics. Some of this information is correct, but it cannot be applied to all of them."

Damian's explanation can be said to be the best explanation. Apart from this, there is no other way to explain such an outrageous phenomenon.

After knowing that Clark's world has comics from their world, Superman also tried to ask Clark if he had seen comics about their current events.

"I'm sorry, but I don't really like reading comics. If my dad hadn't prepared some for me to prevent me from getting bored in the car, and if I hadn't behaved in some way, I probably wouldn't even have read Superman's solo issue."

Superman smiled awkwardly after hearing this. This sounded fine, but considering Clark's identity, he always felt like he was disliked by himself.

However, as Clark's side gradually stabilized, the Daily Planet's broadcasting system was also repaired.

"You young people can chat while I go take care of some things."

Superman said this and left the room and went to the rooftop, wanting to gather all the heroes in the world. Apart from Batman, only Superman could do it. Even Batman, in a sense, only had such appeal because of Superman's trust.

Little Jonathan and Damian, who stayed in the office, began to tell Clark what was happening in the world.

In short, a special virus broke out.

The source is unknown, and the symptoms are that it controls the infected, making them brutal and madly killing other non-infected people.

The transmission method is the most terrifying thing about this virus, and it also eliminates Clark's doubts.

After learning that this was the world with Superman in the comics, he was still wondering what kind of virus could wreak havoc on so many people in this world full of superheroes, so that the heroes had no time to react at all.

And the answer is the developed Internet in modern society.

Clarke's world was still in 2000, and the Internet was far from being so developed. But in the world we see today, it is obvious that the Internet has penetrated into every field of the world.

This virus can be transmitted through the Internet. In addition, it can also be transmitted directly through contact and body fluids.

The virus will enter any electronic device that is connected to the Internet and has a display screen. As long as a person's eyes see the infected display screen, they will be infected by the virus, even powerful heroes are no exception.

Before Superman came, Green Arrow, Canary, and Green Lantern Hal Jordan were camping on the outskirts of Metropolis.

Unable to bear the couple activities between Green Arrow and Canary, Hal Jordan decided to go back to the tent alone to play with his phone.

But just by glancing at the screen of his mobile phone, Hal Jordan, the Green Lantern known for his strong willpower, was infected and was eventually killed by the joint efforts of Green Arrow and Canary.

"What about Batman?"

Realizing the dangers of this world, Clark wanted to use the information he got from comics to help. The first person he thought of was Batman, who had an IQ like a demon in the comics.

"If it's Batman, then he must have a way to deal with this virus, Damian, you should be able to contact Batman on the ground..."

Halfway through his speech, Clark became aware of the sad look on Damian's face in front of him.

Yes, he only saw the plot in the comics, but for these people in front of him, the miracles that Batman created time and time again happened to them. Even he could think of contacting Batman at the first time, so how could these people not think of it, especially with Batman’s son Damian?

"I'm sorry... Batman can no longer respond to anyone's expectations..."

Just before Clark arrived, Damian tried to contact Batman through the Bat-Pager in his hand under everyone's attention, but by that time, Batman had already been infected.

He can only rely on Mr. Freeze's battle suit to maintain his sanity in a short period of time and try to make as many preparations as possible.

It was Batman who discovered the virus as soon as it broke out and analyzed the route of its transmission.

But even if he put the entire Wayne Manor into silent mode immediately, he still couldn't prevent the virus from invading, and Nightwing Dick and Robin Tim were infected.

In order to protect Alfred, Batman fought with the two men, but facing two apprentices he had taught personally, he could not retreat unscathed.

In the end, after Batman told them how the virus was transmitted and how to deal with it in the future, he died completely with a hoarse roar and the sound of Alfred's gunfire.

"Alfred will probably be here soon."

Damian tried his best to hide his pain, but tears still seeped out from under his Robin eye mask. No matter how awkward the relationship between them was, at the moment of Batman's death, all the conflicts disappeared, leaving only a child grieving for his father.

"I'm so sorry..."

Clark didn't know what to say. At the same time, he felt that although he was also a Kryptonian and had super powers, he was like a burden. He was able to save Benjamin from the tornado, but at this moment he could not play any role.

At this time, Superman came over.

"Joe! Damian, Canary and I are going to Chiseled Stone City. Barry and Wally are hiding there. The Speedsters must not be infected, otherwise, it will become a disaster for the whole world. During this time, you must cooperate with Green Arrow and guard this place until we come back."
