The Comprehensive Evolution of American Comics.

Chapter 1056

The more the children discussed it, the more convinced they became that Hugo was a member of the Illuminati. Seeing that Yang Le did not stop them, Robin also reported their findings to the Justice League.

However, the reply they received was that the Young Justice League already knew about Hugo's suspicions, and because they had inspected the site, they had a lot of evidence that Hugo had defected to a secret organization.

However, this did not dampen the children's enthusiasm. On the contrary, they felt that they could deduce the same result as the Justice League based on this little bit of information, which meant that they had grown up quite a bit.

It actually made the children a little more excited.

However, they didn't have much time to be happy, because the Justice League had already tracked down many clues about the escaped prisoners, so the Junior Justice League members were also sent out to hunt down the fugitives.

Let alone the Young Justice League, even the Justice League members have been busy lately. Some are on duty, and some aren't, so everyone's running around.

Even during regular work hours, they have to keep track of the fugitives' information, which is exhausting for everyone, and the entire Justice League is full of complaints.

Dr. Hugo's debut battle may not be the last of its kind, but it is certainly unprecedented. Since the Justice Society era, there has not been a supervillain who is more hated by superheroes than him.

However, although the Justice League found traces of many fugitives, no one could find any clues related to Dr. Hugo, who seemed to have vanished into thin air.

...

"Ugh!"

Robin dodged the mud that was pressing down on him, and in order to quickly create distance between himself and the enemy, he quickly drew his grappling hook from his belt and fired behind him without looking back.

With a bang, the grappling hook flew briefly before embedding itself in the wall, and as Robin pressed the switch on his gun, a powerful force pulled him backward.

In this way, not a single drop of the mud that the enemy poured down on him got on him, and he looked incredibly dashing from a distance.

While retreating, Robin didn't sit idle; he casually tossed three or four bombs into a large patch of mud.

After several loud explosions, the large area of ​​mud was blasted into pieces, but the bombs did not harm the enemy in front of them.

Sure enough, a few seconds later, the scattered mud gathered together and reassembled into a tall mud giant, which was also the target of their team's capture this time—Mudface.

Mudface, whose real name is Basso Caro, was originally just an ordinary stuntman who later gained the ability to turn his body into mud.

Mudface's ability is simple: he can transform his muddy body into shape, such as turning his body into swords or other people.

This simple and unassuming ability is the foundation of Mudface's strength. Without specialized weapons to counter him, most people really have no way to deal with him.

Because he's essentially a lump of mud, physical damage has absolutely no effect on him.

If it were a sudden encounter, Mudface would indeed be difficult to deal with, but Robin and the others came to capture him, so naturally they couldn't be without targeted weapons.

However, these weapons are probably not needed this time.

"boom!"

The wall behind Mudface suddenly exploded, and a lithe figure rushed in through the hole. Mudface only had time to turn his face to his back to see who it was.

It was Superboy. By the time Mudface recognized the person, the former had already thrown a punch he had prepared. Although the two were far apart, the punch could not hit the latter at all, but the storm generated by the punch blew Mudface to pieces.

It took a few more seconds for the Mudfaces to gather together again, but what awaited them was the Superboy who was already prepared.

"Whoosh!" A biting cold wind swept through the entire warehouse in an instant. The reason why Superboy didn't use Super Breath at the beginning was to wait for Robin to retreat in order to avoid accidentally injuring his teammates.

The mud face, being essentially mud, couldn't withstand such a low temperature. After the cold wind passed, the mud face had turned into a bizarre ice sculpture.

"Ha~"

Superboy exhaled the last breath of cold air, then patted the dust off his clothes and said.

"All taken care of, guys!"

No sooner had Superboy finished speaking than a blur rushed up to Mudface – it was none other than the fastest boy, Lightning Boy.

"Seriously, man, you're practically indistinguishable from Superman now."

As he looked at the mud-faced ice sculpture, Kid Flash marveled at Superboy's strength.

"I feel like we won't need to do anything anymore; you can take care of all those criminals by yourself."

Superboy scratched his head and said modestly, "I'm far less powerful than Superman, and even Superman needs teammates. Don't you remember? You can't go far by going it alone."

After becoming stronger, Superboy resolved his inner conflicts, and he's now like a completely different person; words like impulsive simply can't describe him anymore.

Robin and others have discussed this more than once, and they all feel that Superboy is becoming more and more like Superman.

Kid Lightning wanted to say a few more words, but was interrupted by Robin who came in later.

"Alright, let's put the mud face on the bio-flying vehicle first. We can talk about it when we get back."

Meanwhile, Robin is also using telepathy to remind Superboy.

Don't forget the stickers on your body.

Superboy suddenly realized what was happening, quickly pulled up his sleeve, ripped the Aegis off his body, put it in his pocket, and then picked up the ice sculpture and followed the two out of the warehouse.

After packing up the ice sculpture and boarding the bio-aircraft, the three of them finally relaxed completely.

"Robin, are you sure this will really work?" Kid Lightning kept asking questions as soon as he sat down.

“I’m not sure either,” Robin replied after taking a sip of water. “But it’s never wrong to be more careful.”

Superboy didn't say anything, but simply took the Aegis from his pocket and tore it into pieces. Clearly, it wasn't some high-tech marvel, just an ordinary sticker.

The reason Robin did this was because he was afraid that Luthor would have someone secretly monitoring them. If Luthor discovered that Superboy had become stronger without using S.H.I.E.L.D., it would easily arouse Luthor's suspicion.

After all, S.H.I.E.L.D. is key to Luthor's control over Superboy. If the former discovers that he cannot control the latter, then Luthor is very likely to abandon Superboy as a spy.

Furthermore, Luther might even alert the other members of the Illuminati, causing everyone to become suspicious of the Young Justice League, thus ruining their plans.

At that point, let alone capturing the Illuminati, it's not impossible that they'll see through our scheme and devise a trap within a trap.

That's why Robin suggested that Superboy display unprecedented power during the mission, and then secretly tear down S.H.I.E.L.D., in order to reassure Lex Luthor, who might be watching them.
