Chapter 41 Doctor Manhattan: Is Superman also a god?

"Young Master Wayne, what are you thinking about?"

The old butler, Alfred, spoke, giving Bruce a meaningful look.

Bruce lost both his parents at a young age, and it can be said that Alfred raised Bruce single-handedly.

So Alfred knows Bruce very well.

One look at Bruce's gaze as he stared at the big screen and you could guess what he was thinking.

"I'm thinking about some things I should be thinking about."

Bruce spoke softly.

"Young Master Wayne, Superman is known as the 'God among Men,' I think you should have noticed that, right?"

The old butler, Alfred, solemnly reminded Bruce.

The implication couldn't be clearer: if he's been called a god among men, then this Superman can't be a bad guy no matter how you look at it, right?

Moreover, the video clearly shows that the reason Superman wanted to kill General Zod was to stop General Zod from killing people!

Prior to this, Superman had defeated General Zod, but he had no intention of killing him.

Yes, General Zod certainly didn't look like a good person, but Superman was quite the opposite.

No matter how you look at him, he seems like a good person.

"A god among men?"

Bruce couldn't help but laugh out loud at this. "If God really exists, would Gotham need Batman?"

He certainly understood what Alfred meant, but even if Superman acted like a good guy, it made no difference to Bruce.

Bruce will not be any less vigilant or cautious because of this!

On the other hand, isn't the title of "god among men" a bit too ostentatious?

It's absurd enough that an alien claims to be a god on Earth.

……

The X-Men universe.

"A god among men?"

"Hehe, isn't that a bit of an exaggeration?"

Quicksilver couldn't help but shrug and sneer.

Okay, he did admit that Superman was incredibly powerful, even monstrous.

Even Quicksilver's prized speed is no match for Superman.

Based on the video footage, Superman and The Flash appear to be on the same level, with no clear winner.

And what about Quicksilver?

I can't guarantee I'm faster than The Flash.

But Quicksilver only has extreme speed.

And what about Superman?

Extreme speed is just one of the opponent's many powerful abilities.

Therefore, Quicksilver has always been utterly astonished by mutants of Superman's caliber.

But even so, isn't calling someone a god among men a bit too much of a sycophant?

The other party wasn't even human!

"They can't accept the existence of mutants because of our talents, because we are different from them."

"But they treat an alien as a god?"

"This is absurd."

Hank pushed up his glasses and couldn't help but voice his accusation.

It's unbalanced!

Hank felt an extreme imbalance.

If humans simply hate and reject mutants, that's one thing; it's just human nature.

While Hank may find it emotionally unacceptable, he can understand it rationally.

After all, mutants do possess powerful abilities that ordinary people do not have.

This is indeed a potential threat to ordinary people.

But that Superman is a bigger threat!

Even Hank had never seen such a powerful person in his entire life.

Even the most powerful mutants he knew, if tied together, probably wouldn't be enough to defeat Superman.

As a result, the mutants were universally hated, while the other side became "Superman"?

Did he become a god among men?

Double standard!

We can't be so hypocritical!

……

The Boys world.

"Shit."

"Isn't that a bit of an exaggeration?"

"They actually managed to travel back and forth in outer space?"

The members of the Black Robe Guard were all dumbfounded, and MM couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Okay, they know Superman is amazing, on par with Homelander.

Even so, no one expected that the other party would be able to travel in space!

That's going to be a wild ride off Earth!

A human from Earth has transcended the limitations of Earth and reached the planetary level.

This is indeed very impactful for the average person.

"Do you think even a Homelander could do something like this?"

"He doesn't fly to the moon to relax all the time, does he?"

MM glanced at her companions, still unable to remain calm.

"It's hard to believe, but if Superman can do it, there's no reason why Homelander can't, right?"

Hugh gave this answer rather weakly.

"That's not important."

The Butcher was much calmer than the others. "The important thing is, how did another General Zod appear? How many more scum like Homelander are there?"

Superman, Cyclops, and now General Zod—that makes at least three more Homelanders.

Thinking about the strength of the people of our motherland, the butcher felt a little shocked.

However, this isn't entirely bad news for the butcher.

Since two of the "Homelanders" went to war, it shows that the "Homelanders" are not a united front.

They didn't know how to deal with Homelanders before, but what about now?

Using other Homelanders to fight Homelanders might be a good approach.

Although the Butcher had never heard of any of the characters besides Homelander, such as Superman, Cyclops, and General Zod, the spoilers on the big screen helped them kill the Invisible Man.

Therefore, the killer pays considerable attention to the information displayed on the big screen.

……

The Watchers world.

"Who exactly is this 'Superman'?"

Dr. Manhattan, whose entire body was shimmering with blue light, stared at the large screen in front of him and muttered to himself.

Since that accident, when he went from being an ordinary scientist to a "god", Dr. Manhattan's humanity has gradually been stripped away.

I started to become indifferent to the Earth and everything in the human world, and it became increasingly difficult for me to muster any interest in anything.

Even now, the only connection between Dr. Manhattan and Earth is a woman.

If it weren't for that woman, Dr. Manhattan would have left Earth long ago.

But Dr. Manhattan did not expect that, under these circumstances, one person would still pique his interest.

This is the Superman in the video, the one known as the God of the Human World.

It was quite a coincidence.

Whether it's Superman or God, those are honors Dr. Manhattan once held.

When he suddenly appeared, many people called Dr. Manhattan "Superman".

As Dr. Manhattan made more and more contributions to America, some people felt that Superman was no longer worthy of Dr. Manhattan and began to call him a god.

They received almost the same treatment as Superman in the video.

Of course, that's not the key point.

The real key point is that Dr. Manhattan has the ability to analyze all matter, but he can't analyze the large screen in front of him at all.

He could see through the past and the future, but he couldn't see through the origin of this strange giant screen at all!

In this situation, Dr. Manhattan could not possibly remain indifferent to the people appearing on the screen.
