American Comics: Something's Wrong with This Superhero World

Chapter 68 He's Here

"Cheers!!!" After filming was finished, everyone had a meal together.

Electro sat to one side. Although he played a fierce villain, he was a kind person in real life.

He chatted with everyone with a big smile, sharing funny stories and experiences from his past collaborations with other superheroes, which made everyone laugh.

"If I were a bit more handsome and my skin were lighter, I could definitely debut as a superhero," Electro complained to the director after a few drinks.

"Why do you think audiences believe superheroes should be handsome? Can't ugly people be superheroes?"

Xingguang sat next to Xiao Xian, gently leaning against his chest, holding her phone and browsing online comments.

Starlight's eyes sparkled with curiosity and excitement as he read the comments about their recent battle, his heart filled with joy and satisfaction.

The recent battle was broadcast live from multiple cameras, generating considerable buzz online.

After all, there were quite a few people affected by the power outage, as well as those who saw the electric sparks during the fight between the two in the middle of the night. Coupled with the gimmick of a beautiful female superhero, there were still quite a few people paying attention.

Xiao Xian also checked his phone and saw that the feedback from everyone regarding the Starlight Debut was indeed very positive.

"Starlight is absolutely stunning! That sparkly superhero costume left me speechless!"

"Wow! I've been following Starlight since I was little! She's a superhero in my hometown, and she even helped me find my lost cat!!! I can't believe she's in New York now!!"

Of course, there are also the ever-present commentators who prioritize combat power.

"I think Electro is stronger than Rhino. After all, controlling electricity allows for greater destruction, ranged attacks, and maximum potential for growth. While Rhino has higher defense, he's still slightly weaker overall."

"Look at this! So many people are talking about you!" Xingguang then brought her phone up, excitedly pointing to the messages on the screen, her voice filled with excitement and pride.

"Let me see." Xiao Xian looked at Xingguang's phone screen upon hearing this.

Did you guys notice that handsome guy who sacrificed himself for the stars? He was so handsome! Even though the picture is a little blurry, you can tell he's incredibly good-looking!

"That handsome guy who sacrificed himself for Starlight is a true hero! His actions not only saved Starlight, but the entire city! So cool! #TheMysteriousHandsomeGuyWhoSacrificedHisForStarlight"

"Aaaaaah!!! That handsome guy actually sacrificed himself, what a pity!!!"

Does anyone know where he's buried? I have a bold idea!

Upstairs +1

"One of my friends told me that the handsome guy actually didn't die."

"I understand the beginning, and I also understand the later part is the company's online trolls, but did two strange comments get mixed in in the middle?" Xiao Xian's lips twitched. He realized that the Regeneration House where he had placed his body needed to strengthen its security.

Although even professional soft material hardening engineers cannot harden it, Xiao Xian was not sure if those guys would come up with some strange and unbearable tricks.

At this moment, Xiao Xian received a notification, which he saw was a message from the White Empress.

"Wait a minute, I have something to do." Xiao Xian patted Xingguang's head, helping her get off him.

"Male or female?" Xingguang asked curiously, trying to peek at Xiao Xian's screen, but Xiao Xian blocked her way.

"Mind your own business. Focus on your own debut." Xiao Xian got up and walked towards the empty kitchen. After confirming that no one was around, he opened his text messages.

"He's here," the White Queen wrote in the message. To prevent phone tapping, she didn't specify who he was, but both Xiao Xian and the White Queen knew perfectly well who he was.

"Received, I'll be right there," Xiao Xian replied immediately.

"I have to go now, you guys enjoy your meal."

After saying goodbye to his colleagues, Xiao Xian left amidst Xing Guang's reluctant gaze.

Back in a regeneration room containing specially made plastic guns and rubber bullets, Xiao Xian then used a specially made tranquilizer dagger to pierce his heart, and then opened his eyes in the regeneration pool opposite.

This body contains a special time bomb that contains no metal; it was a body that Xiao Xian specially prepared for this operation.

After checking the bullets and gun, Xiao Xian put on clothes without any metal, put on a mask, looked at himself in the mirror, and suddenly thought, Magneto's helmet can't be unsuitable just because it's not the same size as his head, right?

This helmet would fit both Black King and Magneto, so it probably wouldn't work.

As night fell, moonlight streamed through the windows of the White Queen Villa, illuminating the spacious living room. The villa was located in the suburbs, surrounded by a tranquil forest where a gentle breeze rustled the leaves.

Magneto, dressed in his classic suit with his cape billowing in the wind, flew into the villa through the window and looked at the White Queen with admiration.

"Well done, Emma! You've got the Osborne Group under your control now. I thought it would take you a long time."

"I initially thought so too, after all, Norman Osborn is a cunning and shrewd fellow, difficult to deal with," the White Queen said.

"But then I figured it out. Why keep targeting Norman Osborn? So I made Norman Osborn's son, Harry Osborn, fall in love with a woman named Mary Jane, then Mary Jane fell in love with Xiao Xian, an employee of the company, and then made Xiao Xian fall in love with me. Finally, I killed Norman Osborn, thus achieving my goal of indirectly controlling the Osborn Group."

"Why don't you just let Harry fall in love with you directly? Emma, ​​you're so beautiful, how could Harry not be moved?"

Magneto was a little confused by this long list. Although he didn't understand business management, he instinctively felt that this approach was not very efficient and was prone to problems.

"Harry's a playboy, he's seen all sorts of beautiful women. After seeing Norman Osborn fall for me, he only feels hatred towards me, not love," the White Queen said helplessly.

"I was only able to carry out this plan after I accidentally discovered that Harry actually had feelings for an ordinary girl named Mary Jane."

"Are Mary Jane and Shaw both human? And they even claim to be our compatriots?" Magneto asked.

"They are all human beings," the White Queen replied.

"I think that while you amplify feelings of love, it's not a very reliable indicator on its own," Magneto said, stroking his chin.

"Harry is the heir to the Osborn Group, which is difficult to deal with, but Mary Jane and Xiao Xian, since they are not compatriots, let's give them both a slow poison, along with punishments such as electric shocks, to plant the seeds of obedience in their hearts and make them completely obedient to you from the bottom of their hearts."

"I understand," the White Queen nodded outwardly, but inwardly she wondered why Xiao Xian hadn't arrived yet. How much longer would she have to chat with him? Once Xiao Xian got the helmet, would he be able to do what he liked?
