The Comprehensive Evolution of American Comics.

Chapter 588: Fear of Hurting (Realistic)

The incident fermented very quickly. After all, Hyperion chose to deliver the speech during the president's live broadcast. Not only the United States, but almost the whole world knew the decision of the most powerful superhero on earth overnight.

You know, even though Hyperion confronted the president, injured an unknown superhuman, and issued inhumane orders, making himself look like a dictatorial king, he still had a lot of supporters.

Why? Because what's the most common superhuman group in the world? Superheroes? Supervillains?

Neither. The largest superhuman group in the world is the mutants. Even though Magneto has taken a group of them away to establish a country, there are still quite a few mutants left who are reluctant to go back for various reasons.

Not to mention, the energy explosion that broke out in New York and spread to some surrounding towns has created a large number of superhumans in the world. Some of them may be mutants, and some may be something else.

Gwen looked at the tablet in her hand, which was filled with information collected by Olaf for her. It was all about the superhumans in this world, and the first page was Hyperion's information.

She had to prepare in advance for the possible crisis.

As for why it is all about mutants, we have to mention the backwardness of this world. In terms of normal historical progress, this world is not backward at all. It is even much better than some of the universes Gwen has visited.

The only thing that lags behind other universes here is superhumans. This universe's research on superhumans is really too backward.

The government or some institutions are okay, but in the eyes of the general public, basically all superhumans are collectively called mutants, and even many superhumans themselves think that they are mutants.

This is not right. Even Gwen, a high school student, knows that the difference between superhumans is even greater than that between humans and dogs. Although Yang Le taught him this, Gwen, who does not have to worry about leading a double life, has also put in a lot of effort in this regard.

Hyperion himself is the son of a military boss, so he is naturally well-versed in this area, so he uses the more general term "superhuman". Although this word is new to the general public, it is not difficult to understand, and the meaning can naturally be conveyed.

"Tsk!" Gwen couldn't help but scratch her head. "Wouldn't that be like making enemies of all the superhumans in the world?"

Is Hyperion arrogant? Or has he lost his mind because of the death of his family? In short, he chose a path that was bad for himself and others.

After coming to this universe, Gwen's life has always been revolving around three points. After all, the reason she and Yang Le left their universe was to complete her studies.

After hiding her superhero identity, she no longer paid much attention to anything else and could only occasionally hear about superheroes from other boys in her class or school.

So, this was the first time she knew about Hyperion's strength. How to say it, she could only say that Hyperion really had the capital to be arrogant. According to the data provided by Olaf, most superhumans might not even be able to break through Hyperion's defense.

At least Gwen felt that she only had to put in some effort. Olaf and she could do it together, but it would be a bit difficult to defeat the opponent.

"If we want to win, we need to come up with new tactics." Gwen said helplessly, holding the electronic pen in her mouth. "Otherwise, we'll have to trouble Harpy again. Oh no! Why not just ask him to come back and beat up that Hyperion!"

"Tuk-tuk-tuk."

When she heard the knock on the door, Gwen remembered that she was not the only one at home. She turned around in her swivel chair and found Katie sticking her head out from behind the door and looking at her.

"Sorry Gwen, I didn't mean to listen, it's just that the door was open..." Katie looked timid.

Gwen coughed twice to hide her embarrassment of being seen going crazy, and pretended to be nonchalant and said, "It's okay, Katie, I hope I didn't disturb you." She just glanced at the time and found that it was already late at night. She didn't expect that she had been sitting in front of the computer for so long. It seems that no matter what she is reading, a lot of time will be wasted unknowingly.

"No." Katie shook her head, then mustered up the courage to speak.

"Gwen, if it's too difficult for you, I'll just go and register myself."

"How could that be, Katie?" Gwen quickly stood up, walked to the door, pulled Katie into her room, and then they both sat down on her bed.

"Why do you think so?"

"Because Hyperion is very strong, isn't it?" Katie curled up. "And he looks so cold-blooded right now, actually breaking that man's hand. I'm afraid he'd do the same to you."

"Indeed, I'm also afraid of him doing that to me." Gwen echoed Katie's words, but she didn't look scared at all.

"Then why are you still..."

"But I'm not afraid of him," Gwen said, changing the subject. "I'm afraid of the harpy."

"Happi? Your boyfriend?" Katie was confused by Gwen's jumping around. "Is there any connection between the two?"

"Oh my god, I never thought these words would come out of my mouth." Gwen covered her face. "If...if Happy knew I was injured, I think the earth might be doomed."

Gwen didn't know how much her significant other cared about her in front of her best friend, but at least she felt it was embarrassing.

Katie's brain froze for a second because of Gwen's words, and she immediately touched Gwen's forehead with her hand.

"Gwen, do you have a fever? Your forehead is hot and your face is red."

"Why do you think so?" Gwen blushed and slapped Katie's hand away. "You don't think I'm lying, do you? Destroying the Earth is probably too unimaginable."

Seeing that Gwen didn't look like she was joking, Katie asked incredulously, "Are you saying that the harpy is very strong?"

Katie and Yang Le met twice, once when she visited Gwen's home in New York, and the other time when they attended a school dance. Both times, Yang Le left a good impression on Katie.

Katie admitted that Yang Le looked strong, but that was only for an average high school student. He couldn't even compare to those who spent time in the gym. How could he possibly beat Hyperion, who could lift a building? As for destroying the world? That was even more impossible.

Unexpectedly, Gwen nodded calmly and said, "That's right, Harpy is very strong. At least Hyperion is definitely not his opponent. In his own words..."

"I can use it as a jump rope."
