I'm doing bidirectional science popularization in American comics

Author: Quite Delicious but Not Full

Summary:

Having been transported to a chaotic comic book world, Depp becomes the owner of an antique shop in Gotham City and awakens a comic book popular science (introduction) system, which allows him to provide bidirectional popular science information to heroes on both sides who share commonalities.

The two men gave Iron Man a lesson on Batman, and then proceeded to throw money at each other.

When Quicksilver is given a lesson on The Flash, he immediately awakens the Speed ​​Force.

Hawkeye was given a lesson on Green Arrow, and the two of them shot at each other across the screen for thirty minutes.

What are you doing here, Homelander, trying to educate people about laser eye surgery?

Years later, Depp has taken on many roles.

He is Iron Man and Batman's best friend, the behind-the-scenes mentor of the Justice League, and someone S.H.I.E.L.D. would never dare to associate with.

He is the Joker's eternal white moonlight, Catwoman's lifelong love, and Storm's best Depp brother.

And... the unspoken nightmare within Arkham Asylum.

(If you're not a protagonist who's overpowered by a dragon, the system won't speak.)

Chapter 1 Two mortals, two gods.

At night, the sky over Gotham City is especially dark.

In a corner of the city, in a shop called 'Depp Antique Shop'.

"Hey Depp! I want that blue and white porcelain vase no matter the price."

In the light screen that only he could see, Depp was completely helpless as he faced the guy who was eating snacks and talking.

Ever since he transmigrated into the body of this damn Gotham City antique shop owner, he has been living in fear every single day.

However, just last month, I made up my mind to move away from this damn place.

Suddenly, a "ding" sounded in my mind, activating the American comics science system. It immediately warned Depp that if he had been away from Gotham for more than three days, he would be killed.

What's the point of even leaving now?!

Depp, currently in Gotham, has only one book on his mind: "To Live".

However, after the system was awakened, neither tasks were assigned nor any rewards were given to me.

The only difference is that I don't know why I can video chat with Iron Man.

During this month, Tony would chat with Depp almost every day. The two talked about everything from values ​​to technology, from childhood anecdotes to their current predicaments.

Aside from certain special secrets, Tony is almost telling Depp the color of his underwear.

The main point is that this guy is also very difficult to deal with, and he always exudes a mysterious confidence!

Well, Depp admits that if he were as smart and rich as Depp, he might be even more outrageous.

However, Depp felt that Tony Stark, the famous Iron Man... might really need a friend he could talk to about anything to relieve stress.

Depp, looking at the despicable guy in the video, angrily said, "I've told you so many times, Tony! I can't mail it to you!"

Nonsense! I'm in DC Gotham, how am I supposed to mail items to Marvel New York in another dimension?

Moreover, this bottle is a mass-produced product from a factory, which has simply been artificially aged.

Upon hearing this, Stark raised the snack bag high and shoved the remaining plums into his mouth.

He didn't really care about the blue and white porcelain vase; he just wanted to chat with this mysterious and interesting guy.

Indeed, Depp was a mystery to Stark, because no matter how much Stark investigated the guy he chatted with online, he couldn't find a single piece of information about him.

Just then, a new customer walked into the antique shop.

Browsing an antique shop this late at night, what a strange person.

Depp flicked his right index finger, silencing the light barrier where Stark was located, and moved it aside, politely saying, "Hello, is there anything I can do for you?"

The man in the black suit in front of me looked to be in his early twenties. He was tall and muscular, with muscles that exuded explosive power.

If it weren't for his thick eyebrows and big eyes giving him such an upright appearance, Depp would have been ready to pick up the shotgun at hand.

“I want to see it for myself first,” the man said.

Depp replied nonchalantly, "Okay, sir."

At this moment, the long-silent system spoke up again.

"All elements are complete, and two-way science popularization can be carried out. If the science popularization is successful, each party will be randomly selected to receive one special ability, a piece of lens fragment, and a week of travel time in the Marvel world."

"Gained Level 1 Mirror of Introduction".

Huh? Two-way science popularization is possible? What's going on?

Regardless, this system has at least served a purpose.

Furthermore, gaining the ability would greatly increase his chances of survival in Gotham, which is what Depp is currently most concerned about.

In any case, in Gotham, the most important thing is to survive peacefully.

Depp placed the monocle that had suddenly appeared in his hand on his eye socket and looked at the man opposite him.

The moment he looked at the man, a series of letters appeared above the man's head through the Mirror of Description.

Bruce Wayne

What the hell!

Although the Level 1 Mirror of Introduction only shows names, it was enough to make Depp exclaim in surprise.

He never expected that the guy in front of him would be the famous Batman, Bruce Wayne.

Sir, instead of upholding justice, why are you browsing an antique shop so late at night?

Furthermore, regarding the abilities rewarded for successfully popularizing science, these two probably only have one special ability combined?

We're going to be rich!

At this point, Bruce Wayne had found what he was looking for.

He pointed to a half-person-high blue and white porcelain vase in the counter and asked, "Boss, how much is this blue and white porcelain vase?"

Seeing that Depp didn't reply, Bruce Wayne raised his voice and said again, "Boss, I want this blue and white porcelain vase."

"Huh?" Depp said, recovering his senses. "Bat... Mr. Bruce, this blue and white porcelain vase has already been reserved."

Bruce Wayne frowned slightly, then realized that he had been back in Gotham for some time, so it wasn't unusual for him to be recognized.

Depp made the previously hidden video screen visible to everyone and removed the mute function.

He then pointed to Stark in the video: "Mr. Bruce, look, this is the gentleman who ordered this blue and white porcelain vase in advance."

Since the task requires popularizing science, it's natural that the two people need to see each other so that it's easier for one to speak.

Otherwise, both sides might think they're just making things up or fabricating a story.

So we need to fan the flames and let them self-destruct.

“Please allow me to introduce you two.” Depp first introduced Stark to Bruce Wayne, “This is Mr. Tony, the CEO of Stark Industries, a billionaire, or you could call him… Iron Man.”

The emphasis here is on 'billionaire'.

Depp continued, "Stark Industries operates in aerospace, military, medical, security and other high-tech industries. It is one of the world's largest and most advanced multinational corporations and has the technology to make the Iron Man suit."

These are all publicly available information about Stark, information that is known to almost everyone in the Marvel Universe.

There's no way around it, the phrase "I am Iron Man" back then really won over countless fans.

When I first became a fan of Depp, I never imagined that he would be such an annoying person in real life.

Stark nodded in agreement and said defiantly, "He's right, kid. You better not try to take my stuff, because I can always pay a dollar more than you."

Bruce Wayne paused for a moment upon hearing this, then recovered, as if he had heard the funniest joke.

Before Bruce could retort, Depp said, "This is Gotham City's top playboy, the owner of Wayne Enterprises, and also a billionaire."

The emphasis remains on 'billionaire'.

He's sometimes Bruce Wayne, sometimes Batman, but he's always... Depp didn't dare say that.

After finishing his introduction, Depp picked up his thermos and took a sip of hot water.

Meanwhile, Bruce Wayne's counterattack began.

"Always one dollar more than me?" Bruce Wayne sneered. "Stark Industries, huh? Maybe it can be renamed Wayne Industries tomorrow."

The Batman in his twenties was already used to settling things with money; if it were a later, semi-darkened Batman, he probably would have just fought him.

"Such arrogance! Who's spouting nonsense? Oh, just some greenhorn." The old man, Stark, wasn't about to back down. "Pepper, get me some information on Wayne Enterprises and buy it!"

Neither of them wanted to show weakness when it came to money, but Depp wasn't in the mood to deal with them right now because his reward had arrived.

"Two-way popular science communication successful. Obtained one fragment of the Mirror of Introduction and randomly selected two special abilities."

"Gain access to Bruce Wayne's top-tier fighting skills and all the technology needed to manufacture Tony Stark's Mark 5 briefcase armor."

Although they didn't acquire the two's financial power, their fighting skills and armor-making techniques are quite good!

The former allows him to have a certain degree of self-protection in Gotham City.

The latter is of immeasurable value, although it cannot be manufactured yet.

An imperceptible flash of blue light sent the martial arts technique directly into Depp's consciousness, making Depp's martial arts skills now on par with Bruce Wayne's.

Bruce Wayne's fighting skills are basically the ceiling that ordinary humans can reach.

Subsequently, the technology for manufacturing the Mark 5 armor also came into play. To Depp's surprise, it included the technology for setting up factories, computer programs, and the original Arc Reactor.

The fragments of the Mirror of Introduction lie quietly in the system space, available for use at any time. Collecting ten fragments will upgrade the Mirror of Introduction.

As for the one-week travel time in the Marvel universe, it would allow Depp to directly descend into the Marvel Universe and return to DC a week later.

During the trip, time was essentially stopped in DC.

In other words, I can go on "vacation" in the Marvel universe during this period. Compared to the perpetual chaos of Gotham, ordinary people are generally quite safe in the Marvel universe unless there is a major event.

At this point, Bruce Wayne and Stark had gone from trash talk to actually calling for reinforcements.
