American comics: Starting with replicating Superman's talent

Chapter 57 Second Copy, Bizarro's Talent!

"Beep, beep, beep!"

The piercing alarm echoed through the empty experimental base.

The red light shining on the cold glass added an eerie atmosphere to the base.

Beneath the glass jar, Lex could even hear his own heavy breathing.

"Huff huff"

Why am I nervous?

Is it a frenzy for science, or proof of the possibility of creating a god?

Lex was unsure of his own thought process, and he instinctively turned his head away.

His own brother was tilting his head back, staring silently at the contents of the nutrient tank.

Gino's emotions seemed to affect Lex, who felt his excited heartbeat gradually calm down.

On the other side, Gino rubbed his neck, his eyes blazing with fighting spirit.

He had a pretty good idea of ​​what Lex had created.

"B-Zero," also known as Bizarro, is the opposite of Superman.

He possesses super speed, super endurance, and flight—all the basic abilities that Superman has.

However, unlike Superman, his eyes shoot out beams of ice instead of heat vision, and his breath is not icy but blazing.

In different versions, Bizarro's creation is often directly linked to Lex Luthor. It's unexpected that in this world, his own cheap brother also created Bizarro.

However, none of that matters. Although he is the opposite of Superman, Bizarro is clearly no match for the real Superman. What Gino values ​​most about him is one of his talents: the ability to enhance his strength through green kryptonite.

Gino lowered his head, looking at the golden replica card in his hand. He was determined to get Bizarro's talent.

Gino turned to Lex and whispered, "My brother, let him out."

Lex looked deeply into Gino's eyes, leaned down, pressed the green button on the device, and said in a barely audible voice, "I believe you, brother."

As Lex pressed the switch,

"Bang!"

The glass container overhead shattered with a crash.

Shards of glass flew about, mixed with liquid, scattering everywhere like a torrential downpour. Large droplets of water hit the cold floor with a "pitter-patter" sound.

The mixed water flow wetted the circuit and produced a "sizzling" spark.

"Snapped!"

The circuit breaker tripped, plunging the entire base into complete darkness.

In the pitch-black darkness,

"Can we see him?"

Lex clenched his fist and pulled a pistol from his pocket.

"Of course, he's lying on the floor." Gino said calmly, his eyes slightly narrowed as he stared at the figure lying on the metal plate in the darkness.

His skin was pale and bluish-purple, like a zombie commonly seen in movies. His once black hair seemed to have become sparse due to the influence of kryptonite, and he was only wearing a pair of tight shorts.

The tall man was currently trembling and shaking with his arms crossed, like a bewildered child.

"Wait a minute."

Gino squinted slightly, looking at Bizarro, who was lying on the ground trembling with his eyes wide open.

The other party did not show any aggression.

Instead, he stood with his arms crossed like a frightened child, staring at Gino with wide, terrified eyes.

"Ah, ah!"

Bizaro opened his cold, dry, and cracked lips, which looked as if they had been scorched by lime, and made unintelligible whimpers.

Seeing the test subject's reaction, the boy sighed and tapped his head: "How could I forget? This guy isn't very smart."

What is the main reason why Bizarro's overall strength is inferior to that of the Super League?

That must have been due to his IQ, which was only that of a five or six-year-old.

Immature and childish are the labels attached to Bizarro.

In other words, the guy lying trembling on the iron plate at this moment has a tall body but a soul inside that of a little kid who still likes to eat lollipops.

"What are you waiting for?"

In the dark night,

Lex looked at Gino in confusion. His younger brother was never one to hold back. If Gino hadn't attacked the test subject, it meant that the test subject wouldn't harm the two of them.

"That's right."

Gino glanced at his cheap older brother with a hint of pity in his eyes and explained, "Your test subject might not be very intelligent."

Lex frowned, straining to see the trembling figure in the darkness: "Low IQ? What do you mean?"

"It means exactly what it says."

Gino strode toward Bizarro.

Lex exclaimed in alarm, "Wait, Gino! Watch out for that monster!"

Gino ignored his brother's concern and slowly walked towards Bizarro.

The sneakers clicked on the metal plate, and step by step, he walked steadily toward Bizarro.

"Damn it."

Lex gritted his teeth, thought for a moment, then turned and ran towards the power switch. He decided to restore light to the underground base so he could better observe the situation.

On the other side, Bizarro's pure black eyes were filled with terror as he looked at the guy walking towards him. He was terrified; there was an inexplicable aura about the guy that made him instinctively want to run away.

"Wait." Gino sped up and stood in front of Bizarro in an instant.

"Mmm!"

Bizarro kicked his legs, his huge, pale body moving backward until his back touched the cold wall.

He had nowhere left to retreat.

Bizarro looked around anxiously; the guy was still getting closer to him.

"Hmm!"

Bizarro clenched his fists; he was ready to fight back!

"Click!"

Another burst of sparks rang out, and countless lights overhead regained their brightness, casting light into the darkness.

The sudden increase in brightness caused Bizarro to cover his eyes in pain.

Tears streamed down his face, and in the blinding white light, Bizarro saw a figure slowly extend its arm.

Under the bright light behind him, the person seemed to be surrounded by a halo.

Gino looked down at Bizarro, staring into his eyes, and said, word by word, "From today onwards, your name is Bizarro."

"Bizarro?"

Bizarro tilted his head, mimicking Gino's pronunciation, a hoarse voice escaping his lips as if it were something to celebrate.

The initial fear vanished. Bizarro grabbed Gino's arm and shook it rapidly, a happy smile spreading across his ugly face. He kept repeating Gino's words: "Bizarro, Bizarro."

The golden card, visible only to Gino, was gently held between his fingertips. The moment Bizarro touched Gino's right hand, the golden card slowly dispersed and disintegrated, turning into countless dazzling golden particles that sprinkled into Bizarro's chest.

[Contact with b-zero and gain b-zero talent.]

Just like the first time, Gino did not feel any sudden tremor or shiver; his breathing was as smooth as breathing, and his body remained completely unchanged.

There was neither the stinging sensation of cold rays that awakened the eyes, nor the itching sensation of flames that spewed from the throat.

With a slight guess in mind, Gino smiled wryly and shook off Bizarro's hand. He stretched out his hand to the simple-minded guy, pointing two fingers at the ground as if making a walking figure gesture, indicating that Bizarro should follow him.

"Bizarro".

Bizarro hung his arms at his sides, moving like a lazy zombie as he followed Gino.

"Gino?!"

Lex, worried about Gino's safety, rushed over with his pistol in hand, only to find his own experimental subject following behind Gino like an obedient baby.

Then, Gino’s next words left Lex somewhat bewildered.

"Lex, do you have any Kryptonite? Give me one."

"Wait, I need to warn you, that stuff is very harmful to you." Lex frowned as he reminded Gino. As his brother, he naturally knew about Gino's situation, which was why Lex had started his research. He wanted to help his brother deal with the effects of Kryptonite.

First of all, thank you to reader 1455147117727412224 for the 200 coins reward, thank you (^～^).

Now, let's talk about something unrelated to the main topic.

This chapter addresses the weaknesses of Kryptonite. I will include everything that needs to be written. I considered the protagonist's development path long before I even started writing the book.

This is a sneak peek; the protagonist's system is like an intelligent AI. When the protagonist copies A, the system will copy that code like a computer. I will explain how the protagonist's system came about in the future. Interested readers can try to guess (few people guessed Bizarro in the last issue; they all went on to guess Doomsday).

Afterwards, when the protagonist copies B, the system will identify the conflicting parts in the code.

For example, if A becomes weaker due to the influence of Kryptonite, and B becomes stronger, the AI ​​will intelligently determine to delete A's code and keep B's code, thereby enhancing the protagonist's strength. This is the system's basic operational logic: replace and keep the best code to continuously become stronger. If the code is the same, it will be multiplied by 2, doubling the strength, and that's it.
