[Comprehensive British and American] Superhero Manual

Clark actually rarely tells the story of his past to others.

As Superman, it goes without saying that almost everyone in the world knows that he is an alien and the patron saint of Metropolis.

People call him the son of the sun, the god of the world.

And as Clark Kent, no one cared what kind of past such a rustic small-town boy had.

So, when Clark told Carl from the parallel world about his past, there was a strange feeling.

He tells how he made up his mind to appear as Superman.The problems he encountered, the companions he met; the alliances he and his companions formed, the villains they repelled together.

Although Clark only selected a few special events to tell, but even so, it also brought a great shock to Karl.

The little boy's eyes were shining, and he cast admiring gazes at Clark as if he didn't want money.For Carl, this is the first time he has had such close contact with a superhero, and in a sense, this superhero is himself!

In Clark's narration, he and his companions repelled the villains' attacks one after another. Even if someone was injured and temporarily failed, the final result was still the victory of the justice side.

Inevitably, what Clark talked about the most was Batman.

No matter what dilemma they're in, Batman always has a solution.He is the brain of the alliance, and there are countless planBs every time he goes out on a mission.

Batman and Superman are called "the world's best partner", they are best friends.

"Wow! It's amazing!" Carl admired sincerely. He has been fond of superheroes since he was a child, and the surrounding area of ​​the Avengers is full of piles in the whole room.Yet that distance is distant and vague.

Don't want to now, it is visible and tangible.

Will I become such a superhero in the future?The vague thought was fleeting, but it left a deep imprint on the young boy's heart.

Carl unconsciously made Superman his goal, and if they were the same person, they should have done the same thing.

Clark didn't see that Carl had such an idea. After he finished telling his experience, he found that the little boy had already eaten a whole five pieces of apple pie.

But Carl didn't feel any discomfort. Noticing Clark's surprised eyes, he whispered a little embarrassedly: "I don't usually eat so much. I don't know what happened today. Even after eating these, I still feel very hungry."

Clark checked Carl's body with X-sight and found nothing wrong.But the little boy was already eating his sixth piece of apple pie, along with the baked corn and biscuits that had just arrived.

Maybe need to go to the Fortress of Solitude for a more precise inspection.he thought anxiously.

"Don't worry, Clark." Martha said with a gentle smile from the side, "When you were your age, your appetite was bigger than this."

When Martha said this, Clark also remembered the past.It wasn't long before his ability was awakened at that time, and he couldn't control it well. What he felt every day was the false hunger brought by his body, and his appetite once increased greatly.

In theory, Kryptonians don't need to eat, and the yellow sun's light can provide them with a steady stream of strength.

However, Karl's ability has not yet fully awakened. Clark asked, he can only fly for a short time, and the external speed is a little faster.

The occurrence of such a situation may indicate that Karl's other abilities are about to awaken.

Clark still decided to take Carl to the Fortress of Solitude. After telling Bruce about his decision, he took Carl to the North Pole.

※※※※※※※

In the icy and snowy polar region, stands an ice crystal-like building, which is not like anything in the world-this is Superman's base in the North Pole, the Fortress of Solitude.

Clark stopped in front of the gate of the fortress, put Carl, who was wrapped in heavy clothes, from his arms, and took his hand and walked into the gate.

Along the way, Karl looked around curiously.He asked Clark some questions from time to time: "This fort is so big, will anyone find it?"

"Few people will come here." Clark answered his question patiently, "And I asked my friends to cast magic on the fort, and ordinary people cannot see it."

"What is this? What is it for?"

"That's a special product that Green Lantern brought back from other galaxies last time. It can purify the impurities in the air."

"What about this?"

"It's just a decoration, it belongs to the former Krypton."

..................

Just like this question and answer, Clark took Carl to a room full of technology.

There is a metal platform in the center of the room, and the technology belonging to Krypton is scattered around it.Karl's eyes widened in surprise when he saw such a place for the first time.

"Don't worry." When Clark asked Carl to lie down, he said soothingly, "It will be fine soon."

The AI ​​in the Fortress of Solitude analyzed and calculated Carl's body data, and quickly came up with the results, projecting them on the screen in front of Clark.

Carl leaned over and wanted to read it with Clark, but found that he didn't understand the text on it at all.

"What's the word on it?" Carl asked.Although he didn't know each other, when he stared at these words, Carl could feel a wonderful sense of familiarity, as if he should be familiar with them by nature.

Clark replied softly: "This is the text of Krypton."

At that moment, Karl felt the power from his hometown for the first time.He realized that he was indeed from Krypton - the destroyed planet.

"...Can I learn it?" Carl's tone was erratic, maybe even he didn't know what he said.

"Of course." Clark's surprise was fleeting. He touched Carl's head with a smile and said, "I'd be happy to teach you this."

"Oh, thank you." Carl, who was touched on the head, was a little shy. He turned his gaze to the screen and asked, "What's written on it?"

The result given by the intelligent AI is very clear, Karl is indeed in the developmental period of Kryptonian.Under the sunlight of the yellow sun, his development speed was even faster than that of Clark back then.

Perhaps it is due to accumulation, the power of the yellow sun stored in Karl's body in the past has now become one of the sources to promote his development.

Clark simply told Carl the result, and told him to tell him immediately if there was anything wrong.

Karl nodded with a vague understanding - he still doesn't know what abilities the Kryptonians will awaken under the yellow sun, and Clark only briefly mentioned it when he was talking about it before, without explaining it in detail.

So in the following time, Clark asked the intelligent AI of the fortress to monitor Carl's physical condition all the time.

Clark couldn't be with Carl all the time.The world doesn't need Superman all the time, and his personal time is actually very little.

In fact, while telling the story to Carl, Clark had already put on the Superman uniform and gone out to solve several accidents.

So now, when he heard someone calling for help again, Clark could only show a sorry smile to Carl, and flew out of the Fortress of Solitude after changing his clothes with one click.

After staying in place obediently for a while, Carl found that Clark hadn't come back—maybe there were too many accidents that needed Superman to solve, and he would be too busy for a while.

So Karl wandered around in the fortress alone, and the AI ​​obeyed the master's orders, keeping an eye on Karl.

The curious baby Carl changed the subject of the question, and asked the AI ​​all the things he didn't know.

Along the way, Karl's footsteps became brisk, and he hummed an out-of-tune tune, as happy as a bird in flight.

—he did fly, but still a little wobbly.Carl didn't feel the danger at all, he tried to control this ability that was not yet familiar.

The AI ​​without the emotion of "worry" just calmly analyzed the possibility of Carl hitting the wall or railing, and the result was 90.00%.

Sure enough, Carl, who had only been flying for a long time, hit a hard "wall" with a "bang".

He got up clutching his bumped nose, tears streaming down under the pain.

Carl held back his tears firmly, and took a look at the hand covering his nose—fortunately, there was no nosebleed.

After relieving the pain, Carl turned around the "wall" to see what he bumped into.

When turning to the front, Karl realized that he had hit a huge statue.

This statue is carved of two people—maybe a couple, their faces are kind and kind, even if it is a statue, you can see how gentle and soft the smiles on their faces are, full of love.

Carl stared at them blankly, his voice was inaudible: "... who are they?"

"Those are my parents." Clark, who did not know when he came back, stood behind Carl, and said in a nostalgic tone: "My biological parents, Jor Al and Lana El. It is carved from the data recorded by the AI ​​​​in it, to commemorate them."

Carl still hadn't realized it, he was still thinking about the two names he just heard, were they Superman's parents, were they also his?

In his world, are there also two people like this, with infinite love, sending the youngest son away from the planet that is about to be destroyed?

The sense of intimacy spontaneously born from the bottom of my heart told Carl the answer, yes.

In fact, when Karl first heard them say that he was a superman in another world, he was a little bit unbelievable.Superman is such a revered superhero, and he is just an ordinary little boy, they are not the same person in any way.

As time passed, and event after event confirmed this fact, Cal's disbelief faded away, and he turned to worrying about his future self not being as good as Superman.

In the heart of the little boy, there was a moment of uneasiness.

Seeing this statue now, the intimacy that came to his face in a trance seemed to make Karl see his own Daddy.

Daddy must be very worried when he suddenly came into this world.In the past, no matter how far away from home, Carl would make an agreement with Daddy in advance.

After the novelty faded, the anxiety and longing in Carl's heart emerged, surging and menacing.

Clark noticed that the little boy fell silent suddenly, and he asked with concern: "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Carl sniffed, trying to suppress the sudden sourness, "I just miss my Daddy."

Clark squatted down, hugged the little boy gently, and comforted him a little awkwardly: "Don't worry, we will send you back to your Daddy soon."

In the silence, Clark felt Cal's strength to hug him back, and his shoulders were soaked with hot tears.

The author has something to say:

Seeing that someone asked which parallel worlds I would travel through, I roughly listed the ones I wanted to write about: DCEU, Injustice, Lords, Syndicate, Lego, Arkham, Dark Multiverse, and so on.Maybe there are original parallel worlds as well.

but!Not all of them are necessarily written, and some may just be abbreviated.

It is mainly the story that happened in Karl's own world^_^

I will add special symbols "☆", "★", etc. in the stories of the parallel world, as marked
