The Comprehensive Evolution of American Comics.

Chapter 449 Phantom Cat Katie

"My friend at school said he would come back to see me tonight." Gwen explained, then looked at Yang Le suspiciously and asked.

"Didn't I tell you in advance? How did you know someone was at the door without her knocking?"

Yang Le first pointed to his ears complacently, then pointed to his eyes before explaining.

"This is the second ability of the alien hero I have become: super hearing that covers the entire earth and X-vision that can see through objects."

Although the former of the two abilities introduced by Yang Le was more shocking, as a girl, Gwen was more sensitive to the latter half of the ability Yang Le mentioned.

Gwen subconsciously protected her body, her cheeks flushed as she glared fiercely at Yang Le in front of her. Yang Le immediately understood Gwen's thoughts and was about to explain.

"Boom boom boom!"

The knocking on the door outside became more urgent. The sudden sound interrupted Yang Le. When he wanted to speak again, Gwen spoke first.

"Alright, change back quickly! If you still have these alien powers when Katie comes in, you're dead!"

Gwen glared at Yang Le fiercely, and then without listening to Yang Le's explanation, she walked out of the house on her own. Of course, when she turned around, she did not forget to cover her butt with her hands.

Yang Le was helpless. If Gwen hadn't reminded him that he had never thought of using his X-ray vision to peek, two emotions would have suddenly appeared in his heart. One was the feeling of being misunderstood and the other was the feeling that he had lost out because he hadn't seen it.

In fact, under the Kryptonian's X-ray vision, Gwen's behavior of covering her important parts with her hands can only be said to be futile. The X-ray vision can of course skip Gwen's arms, and only a few substances can block the X-ray vision, such as lead.

But Gwen was so reluctant, Yang Le would not go to the tiger mountain even though he knew there was a tiger there. This was too despicable and he really couldn't do it. When Yang Le used X-sight, he subconsciously penetrated the skin directly. He could swear that he had never thought of peeping.

Hearing the sound of the Omnitrix transforming behind her, Gwen finally lowered her raised hand. To be honest, when she first heard about the ability of perspective, she did feel shy.

But the reason why she reacted so strongly was not because Yang Le might have peeked at her, but because the guest who was coming to her house was her friend Katie, who was also a girl.

It wouldn't matter if it was just me and Yang Le, but with Katie being here...it's not right, it just won't work!

Gwen took a few deep breaths to calm herself down before opening the door. As expected, Katie with long chestnut hair was standing outside the door. There was a hint of impatience on her face because of waiting for her to appear.

"Good evening! Katie!" Gwen smiled and opened her arms to hug the pouting Katie.

"I'm sorry, Gwen." Katie pouted after letting go of Gwen. "What took you so long to open the door? I thought you locked me out."

"How could that be?" Gwen denied. "I was just doing my homework while listening to music. You know I love music. Beautiful things can bring me inspiration."

"Okay, I forgive you, but you have to treat me to a midnight snack." Katie said sweetly while hugging Gwen's right hand.

"Of course." Gwen raised her free left hand as if in a vow. "If you don't mind all the weight you've gained."

"Hate Gwen." Katie frowned. "I shouldn't have told you about my weight, and now you have one more crime to add to the list: you're helping me with my homework."

"Honestly, Katie." Gwen gave a wicked smile. "If you converted those added burdens into grades, you would definitely be number one at Central City High School." "Great!" Katie was furious. "How dare you laugh at me! I'll teach you a lesson!"

Faced with the ridicule of her friends, Katie, who was already hugging Gwen, continued to control Gwen with her right hand, and reached towards Gwen's waist with her other hand.

"Hahaha, I won't say anymore, hahaha!"

"It's too late. You must bear my punishment!"

Gwen was tickled by Katie and laughed so hard that she was shaking with laughter, but she had no way to deal with Katie. Gwen didn't dare to resist Katie's tickling because she was not sure if she could control her strength at this time. She was afraid that her dozens of tons of strength would beat the other party into a meat patty.

"Cough cough!"

The sudden male voice made Katie pause. She looked up and saw a strange Asian face. The sudden appearance of the stranger scared her and she stopped moving.

"Finally." Gwen was finally freed. She looked at Yang Le with gratitude. If he hadn't helped her, she might not have been able to hold back and take action.

"Um, who is Gwen?" Katie looked at Yang Le awkwardly. Acting crazy and stupid in front of strangers would make even an outgoing girl like Katie feel shy.

"Huh~" Gwen took a deep breath, composing herself before introducing them. "This is my boyfriend, Yang Le. He's Chinese, so his name might be a little hard to pronounce. You can call him Habibi. Habibi, this is Katie, the good friend I told you about."

"So you're Katie." Yang Le took two steps forward and extended his right hand. "Gwen often mentioned you to me, saying you were a very lively girl."

"Ah, hello, harpy." After knowing Yang Le's identity, Katie was no longer nervous. She shook Yang Le's hand openly, but let go soon.

"My full name is Katherine Anne Pride, but you can call me Katie."

Because he has met so many comic characters, Yang Le is no longer shocked when a comic character suddenly appears in front of him.

That’s right, the girl in front of you is also a well-known character in Marvel Comics. She is a member of the X-Men and a mutant codenamed Phantom.

In the comics, Katie's image is actually not as fixed as others. Sometimes she has long hair, sometimes short hair, and sometimes curly hair. Her hair color has also changed several times. She is the kind of character that is difficult to recognize. Even Yang Le can't recognize her at a glance.

But Katie's name is still very unique. Although the naming method of full name and nickname is not uncommon in the United States, if both names are the same as Phantom Cat, it basically means she is the real one.

But looking at Katie's current appearance, she probably hasn't awakened her abilities yet. This is normal. Different universes have different results. This is nothing new. It is also possible that Katie in this universe has not awakened her abilities.

"That's right Gwen!"

While Yang Le was thinking, Gwen had been chatting with Katie for a while. Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something and said to Gwen.

"The Central City High School dance will be held in a few days. Will you ask Yang Le to attend?"
