American Comics: Something's Wrong with This Superhero World

Chapter 102 is done.

"Superman is a very good friend of mine. We know each other very well. In my impression, Superman is not the kind of person who would betray his family. Please give him more trust. I heard that Superman's child and his female homeroom teacher have suffered criticism because of this."

Xiao Xian was talking confidently to the camera. Superman hadn't attacked him, and the task of the heat vision was easily completed. Xiao Xian was in a great mood. In addition, since he might need to use Superman as a tool in the future—no, I mean, when friends help each other—Xiao Xian was very proactive in helping Superman clear his name.

"But Mr. Xiao Xian, regarding the video circulating online..." The reporter didn't elaborate further, but the meaning was clear.

"In this day and age, seeing isn't always believing," Xiao Xian shook his head. "Just because a video is real doesn't mean it is. There are so many videos about me on various video websites now, more than about Tifa. Can you say those videos are real?"

Since Xiao Xian became famous, his face-swapped videos have seen an explosive increase on various learning resource websites such as P-site.

Xiao Xian initially wanted to report and sue for infringement, but later he found that his own regeneration speed had skyrocketed. He also saw many other stories about couples arguing because the woman secretly watched Xiao Xian's videos, getting divorced because the woman called out Xiao Xian's name while playing cards, and women demanding that the man wear Xiao Xian's mask during sex. In short, these stories were very abstract and attracted a lot of hatred towards Xiao Xian.

"But experts believe it's true, and among them are experts from the Osborne Group, the company you signed with," the reporter then asked.

"But some experts analyze that it is fake, which is meaningless. I'm not saying that the experts at the Osborn Group are not good, but this matter may involve conspiracy theories, supervillains or the like. You know what I mean? For the deep government or supervillains, it is not difficult to create a video that is almost indistinguishable from the real one."

Xiao Xian said in a serious tone, "Anyway, I can say whatever I want. As for whether others believe me or not, that depends on who is speaking and who is listening."

After the interview, Xiao Xian arrived at the film set, where director Steven Spielberg and the other actors had been waiting for a long time. Harry was also on set, giving Mary Jane a thoughtful massage while she was leaning against the most comfortable chair in the entire crew.

The White Queen, dressed in her uniform, leaned against the wall, but everyone else seemed to ignore her as if she were invisible.

"Why are you so late? The whole group has been waiting for you!" Harry scolded Xiao Xian as soon as he saw him arrive late. He was really awful that Xiao Xian had kept Mary Jane waiting for so long.

"It's alright, it's alright," Mary Jane waved her hands repeatedly, showing great consideration. "We understand that superheroes are very busy."

"???" If she's so biased towards me, won't Harry find out? Xiao Xian looked at Mary Jane with some surprise upon hearing this, but Mary Jane not only didn't panic, but also winked at Xiao Xian playfully.

"Since you put it that way, then forget it." Harry immediately changed his expression upon hearing this, grinning and even looking somewhat happy.

"Oh, this..." Shocked, Xiao Xian turned his gaze to the White Queen, who gave him an OK sign.

Because it was a cameo role of himself, Xiao Xian felt very relaxed while acting. Taking advantage of a break while the staff were cleaning up the set, Xiao Xian walked up to the White Queen and whispered...

"What's going on? Weren't you told it would take some time to resolve?"

"After you risked your life to save me yesterday, I feel like my superpowers have improved again." The White Queen smiled smugly and said to Xiao Xian, "I tried it today, and now I can control Harry, who's a drug addict, at will."

"Is she progressing that fast?" Xiao Xian was envious upon hearing this. How could a mutant like the White Queen, like the Uchiha, suddenly have her strength increase rapidly when stimulated by strong emotions?

In comparison, Xiao Xian has to painstakingly complete tasks or collect hatred to improve his superpowers.

However, Xiao Xian's potential is much higher, especially the superpowers on the strange creature, which are extremely powerful.

For example, the super charm and super regeneration he obtained from Tomie made Xiao Xian a goddess killer in this world, and even made him the number one on the list of most popular superheroes.

The latter not only greatly enhanced Xiao Xian's survival ability and gave him a much higher margin for error, but also fundamentally changed the nature of Xiao Xian's life.

For example, Xiao Xian can go without eating or drinking, and can create regenerative substances from nothing, which also provides energy for the superpowers he later acquires.

For example, the ability to fly consumes a lot of physical strength. For example, Hua Shou Ge can't fly for more than a minute and must rest or he will die suddenly. But Xiao Xian can fly for several hours without exhausting his physical strength. In the end, his heart couldn't take it and he returned to the character selection screen.

For example, with thermal vision, without super regeneration, Xiao Xian would most likely only be able to fire thermal vision at a few hundred degrees, and he wouldn't be able to keep up with the energy after firing for long. After all, how much physical energy does an ordinary person have? A thermal vision powered by physical energy would be good enough to burn a person to death.

But now with super regeneration, Xiao Xian's heat field can reach 3,000 degrees Celsius and last for more than ten minutes before he is exhausted. Moreover, after being exhausted, Xiao Xian can recover in a short time.

"That's right. The current Harry will not only not stop you and Mary Jane, but will actually try to bring you and Mary Jane together. The more you cheat on him, the happier he will be." The White Queen winked at Xiao Xian.

"Is it really that exaggerated?" Xiao Xian's lips twitched. This is so outrageous?

"The next scene is where you save Mary Jane, and in return, she rewards you with a passionate French kiss."

Spielberg personally coached Xiao Xian on acting techniques. He knew that Xiao Xian hadn't read the script and wasn't interested in it, but Xiao Xian was the biggest star in the film and the main draw for box office success.

Although Osborne didn't care about profit or loss when he asked Spielberg to direct the film, Spielberg still didn't want to have a major financial loss in his directing career, even if the loss was due to interference from investors rather than his own actions.

Spielberg originally came expecting to lose money, but Xiao Xian's popularity gave him hope of turning things around. Xiao Xian is now even more popular than Leonardo DiCaprio was during the Big Ship era. Whenever he's in a movie, girls go crazy rushing into the theater, even watching it two or three times just to see him.

"Is it okay? Harry's still here. Shall we film this? Or should we wait until he leaves?" Xiao Xian said, glancing at Harry who was peeling fruit for Mary Jane.

"No problem, Mr. Harry understands Mary Jane's profession very well. In fact, this plot was proposed by Mr. Harry."

Spielberg, with a similarly strange expression, said that he really didn't understand the thought process of rich kids; Harry must have gotten himself into trouble with drugs.
