Marvel: Son of Tomorrow

"In that case, I'll go and bring him back."

Upon hearing the news, Clark immediately stood up and planned to go directly to the city where the news came from to bring the congressman over.

But just as he stood up, Benjamin pushed him down from behind.

"Don't worry, Clark. Although you can fly, the stealth fighters owned by everyone here fly much faster than you. Even if we set off, we won't need you."

As he spoke, Benjamin looked at Charles and the others, with a smile that contained a special meaning on his face.

"Am I right, everyone from the X-Men?"

I don’t know why, although Benjamin is just an ordinary person, powerful mutants like Cyclops feel a strong sense of oppression from Benjamin.

It seemed that as long as they dared to agree to let Clark fly over and take away the congressman, Benjamin would fight them to the death without hesitation.

"That...that's natural..."

Even Charles, who began to stutter when speaking, truly realized how much Benjamin loved this non-blood-related child of his.

"In that case, Storm and Jean, go out for a while. Don't let ordinary people know your identities as mutants, and try not to alert the enemy."

"knew.."

Storm and Jean set off immediately after hearing this, and left the academy in their stealth fighters. They would probably return safely in a few minutes.

"Clark, come out with me."

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Benjamin took Clark out of the laboratory temporarily and came to the open space.

"Dad, why did you stop me?"

Although the reason Benjamin gave was perfect, and his flying speed was indeed not as fast as the X-Men's high-tech stealth fighter, Clark always had a feeling that Benjamin's idea was definitely not as simple as he said.

"Clark, we used to think you were just a slightly different kid, so we didn't tell you a lot of things. But now that you are the Kryptonian in the comics, Superman, there is no need to hide some things anymore."

Can the Kryptonians hide in human society forever?

The answer must be yes. Kryptonians and ordinary humans are extremely similar in physiological structure, and there is not even any reproductive isolation. As long as a Kryptonian is willing, he can pretend to be an ordinary person forever and live in human society.

But that is not the life a person should live.

Although Clark can live an ordinary life in disguise, what are the consequences?

You have to lie and hide things when facing friends, colleagues, and even your future wife and children, and you are always worried about your identity being exposed. That kind of life is not the life a person should live.

Benjamin thought so too. He thought about asking Clark to hide his superpowers, but he couldn't accept the thought that after their death, Clark would live a life where no one in the world could be trusted.

Instead of disguising himself as a human being as a Kryptonian in exchange for a seemingly ordinary life, it is better to tell the world his identity at the appropriate time. At the very least, in that case, Clark can treat the people around him sincerely instead of being wary of everyone.

Of course, the identity cannot be revealed now. Clark's power is too weak, and his Parker Industries is too weak to protect a child who will have godly power in the future in this complex society.

So Clark needs to know some necessary things.

Benjamin didn't want to tell Clark nothing, and then regret it when Clark was in danger.

"Clark, this world is not as ordinary as you originally thought. As you can see, there are all kinds of superheroes in the other world, and our world also has a special group like mutants. As for the others, I don't know, but this world is definitely not just that simple."

Not long ago, Benjamin suddenly learned that his brother and sister-in-law were actually agents of a special organization, which made Benjamin question the true face of the world.

With the size of Parker Industries, he cannot know the whole picture of the world, but he must be wary of the ideas of this world and tell Clark before incense.

"There are many mysterious organizations in our world. They are not under the jurisdiction of the law, or they are the makers of the law. You are doing the right thing, but they don't care about it. So if possible, at least in the next few years, you'd better avoid exposing your superpowers in public. Give me, your father, and yourself some time. Your identity as a Kryptonian can only be made public after we have accumulated enough strength."

After listening, Clark realized how dangerous it was for him to go pick up the congressman, and he took all of Benjamin's suggestions to heart.

"I understand. I will protect myself and our home."

Hearing this, Benjamin smiled with relief, opened his arms and gave Clark a big hug.

"That's right. People in the Parker family must have this kind of backbone. They must not only protect themselves, but also protect their beloved family members."

Soon, Storm and Jean, who went to New Jersey, returned in stealth fighters, but judging from their expressions, the result was not perfect.

"Didn't find it?"

"No, that's not the case."

Jean shook her head and stepped aside, while Storm came out pushing the almost completely transparent, dying Congressman Kelly.

"When we found him, he had almost lost consciousness. It was very likely that he would not be able to answer our questions."

Hearing this, Clark immediately used his x-ray vision to observe the congressman's body, but this look made his face turn ugly.

"Hey guys, what would happen if a human's body structure was almost completely transformed into that of a cnidarian?"

"what?"

Everyone looked at Clark in surprise. When they turned to look at the congressman, they realized that the person lying on the stretcher looked like a giant human-shaped jellyfish.

"95% of Senator Kelly's body structure has turned into water. This ratio is too high. In addition, he still has a human form. His body can no longer support his life activities."

"Quick! Send it to the lab quickly, Jean, Hank, find a way to save him!"

Charles quickly said that although Senator Kelly could be said to be the most hated person by mutants, at this time, they really couldn't let Senator Kelly die, because he might be the last person who knew Magneto's purpose.
