I'm doing bidirectional science popularization in American comics

Furthermore, the uploader of the video commented that Maroni's leg bone was crushed by an iron fist.

This led to an instant surge in Iron Fist fans, almost rivaling Batman fans.

Even the former Maroni gang member who uploaded the video became an overnight sensation, leaving the gang and becoming a popular video blogger.

From this day forward, Gotham's criminals will remember one thing.

At night, besides having to hide from a guy in a bat-cloak, if you see someone wearing a helmet, run for your life! This guy is much scarier than Batman!

If you run too slowly, be careful not to crush the glass cover!

That evening, Depp and Selena attended Maroney's court hearing.

Surprisingly, Bruce also showed up.

Bruce sat down next to Depp and watched Depp's hand clasp Selena's. He felt as if he could hear his own heart breaking.

However, Gotham's number one playboy wasn't heartbroken for long, since he had invited a girl from Gotham University to visit Wayne Manor and his enormous bedroom that night.

Depp looked at Bruce's swollen arm, poked it gently, and asked, "Did you twist it yesterday, Bruce?"

Bruce winced in pain, offering an awkward yet polite smile, and said, "I drank too much water last night, it's just water retention."

A moment later, Depp received a message from Selena: "You're so naughty, I love it!"

Just as the two were trying to suppress their laughter, the court hearing began.

Faced with overwhelming evidence, Maroni, sitting in his wheelchair, had an unpredictable expression, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

Finally, Harvey, holding the double-headed coin that bore the fingerprints of both Maroni and Hugo, said:

"Mr. Maroni, is there anything else you'd like to say?"

Maroni was furious. He reached into his pocket, intending to throw the sulfuric acid he had secretly prepared at the prosecutor who was always causing him trouble.

Depp, familiar with this plot, was always ready to cause a gust of wind to blow away the sulfuric acid that Maroney had thrown at Harvey.

But just as Maroni reached into his pocket, Harvey kicked him out with his gleaming leather shoe.

Before Maroni could even take the sulfuric acid bottle out of his pocket, Harvey kicked it to pieces.

Seeing Maroney screaming in agony as the sulfuric acid corroded his chest, Harvey took out a handkerchief, wiped his shoes, and said:

"Don't try to use the same trick on me twice!"

Harvey was upset for a long time after Rob pulled out a pistol from his pocket and committed suicide, so he had been on guard against it ever since.

Gotham has no Two-Face!

Chapter 44 The Iceman and Mr. Freeze

Maroney's trial has ended, and he has been imprisoned in Blackgate Prison forever.

Depp, sitting on the jury bench, seemed slightly lost in thought.

The wind he had gathered in his hand beforehand had long since dissipated, but Depp was still immersed in shock.

Because, according to the plot I remember, Harvey would have had half of his face splashed with sulfuric acid by Maroney.

The change in his appearance also turned Harvey into a person with a split personality, thus making him one of Gotham City's notorious supervillains, Two-Face.

But now, Harvey has resolved the crisis himself, which surprised Depp greatly.

In his original plan, even if he intervened, there was a high chance that he would not be able to change Harvey's fate.

Given the precedent of Joseph Cole turning into the Joker, Depp didn't believe he could necessarily change the fate of these characters in the story.

But now, thanks to Rob's suicide, Harvey was able to anticipate Maroney's actions, thus escaping his original fate and avoiding becoming Two-Face.

As Depp reflected on everything that had happened during this time, he guessed that perhaps it was because he had subtly influenced the plot's direction, rather than forcibly going to the chemical plant to save Joseph as he had done before.

In other words, one can only subtly influence and change those around them, thereby enabling them to break free from their predetermined fate.

Instead, one should not wait until the last moment before things are about to happen to take action and forcibly try to change the course of events.

Just as Maroni was carried away and the judge finished delivering the verdict, the familiar system voice sounded again.

"The host has been detected to have altered Harvey Dent's fate. Gotham will no longer have the supervillain Two-Face. The host has received a reward for saving a character from the storyline."

"Task rewards: 5x Life Concentrate Essence, 5x Mirror of Introduction Fragments, and 5 days of random Marvel world travel time."

Hearing the system notification and reward, Depp became even more certain of his guess.

Unexpectedly, this time the reward included five bottles of Life Concentrate and five fragments of the Mirror of Introduction, as well as a 5-day random travel time to an American comic book world.

To be honest, Depp thought the name "Life Concentrate" was a bit too long and wanted to shorten it by removing the words "Life," "Concentrate," and "Hua," but after thinking about it, he decided against it, as it would be a bit too much.

There are also five fragments of the Mirror of Introduction. Combined with the four fragments we obtained earlier, we only need one more to upgrade the Mirror of Introduction's level.

Depp is still looking forward to seeing what new features the Profile Mirror will have after the upgrade, since it can only display the name now, which seems a bit useless.

As for the final five days of his trip, Depp hoped to spend them in a quieter, more peaceful world, rather than places like DC and Marvel where people are constantly fighting and killing each other.

After the court hearing ended, Depp said goodbye to Bruce and Harvey, and then left with Selena.

That night, Depp dragged his tired body out of Selena's house.

Wellen was already waiting outside. He opened the driver's side door of the pickup truck and then very consciously climbed into the trunk.

In just one day, Wellen's size and scales returned to normal.

At this moment, the scales on his body turned a deep dark green, and were even thicker and harder than before. Ordinary bullets could no longer cause any damage to the new scales.

“How long have you been waiting here, Wayne?” Depp asked.

Wellen glanced at his watch and said, "Although I don't know when you entered Miss Selena's boudoir, I've been waiting outside for three and a half hours since you called me, boss."

Depp felt a little guilty upon hearing this and said, "I'll cook you something delicious when we get back to make it up to you."

"The boss is so nice!" Wellen excitedly raised his head, bumping the roof of the carriage with a loud thud, creating a bulge.

In the antique shop, Depp personally cooked braised pork, stir-fried pork slices, deep-fried prawns, and steamed sea bass.

Watching Wayne and Goat enjoy their meal at the table, Depp felt a warm feeling rise in his heart, and then served himself his fifth bowl of rice.

The three guys were all showing off, and before long, they were all clutching their stomachs and collapsing into their chairs.

While Depp and Selena were texting, Ororo sent him a video.

In the video, Ororo is wearing a loose t-shirt and denim shorts, her tanned skin looking healthy and vibrant.

Behind her were towering trees and the sounds of many people playing and laughing, so it seemed she wasn't in her own bedroom.

"Where are you?" Depp asked.

Ororo said mysteriously, "I snuck out to play with my friends today."

Friends?

Depp thought that Ororo was probably referring to her mutant classmate from Xavier's School of the Fellowship of the Rising Sun.

Are you out for a nighttime picnic?

"Hmm...more or less, anyway, I sneaked out without the teachers' knowledge."

As soon as Ororo finished speaking, a fireball the size of a basketball swept past behind her.

Her hair immediately curled up due to the high temperature, accompanied by a faint smell of burning.

Upon seeing this, Ororo immediately pressed her phone camera against her chest and said nervously, "That fireball was actually a wad of burning paper!"

Depp could almost hear the little girl's heart pounding with fear of revealing her identity.

He reassured her, saying, "I understand, I understand. Back in school, there were some troublemakers in my class who liked to do these dangerous activities."

Hearing Depp's words, Ororo breathed a sigh of relief, raised her phone again, and said to the camera, "Yes, that's dangerous. Depp is absolutely right. As their senior, I have to go and teach those troublemakers a lesson; they're really outrageous!"

After saying that, Aurora did not turn off the video, but instead covered the camera side of her phone with the ground.

Then Depp heard the sound of a strong wind and thunder.

It sounded like it was many times bigger than him, and this was just the "power generation" that Aurora and her classmates generated while playing around.

The differences between people can sometimes be that great.

The thunder and lightning hadn't stopped yet when a cute boy with a strange face picked up Ororo's phone, which she had left on the lawn.

This boy looks even younger than Ororo; he's a real little cutie.

From the perspective of the Mirror of Introduction, the little boy's name is displayed above his head.

Bobby Drake

Depp knew that this was the mutant nicknamed Iceman.

Like Ororo, he is an Omega-level mutant. When he uses his powers to their fullest extent, he has the ability to freeze the Earth and even the entire universe.

Furthermore, his true ability is not simply to control ice, but to control the three forms of water.

He possesses a variety of abilities, including ice, water, and steam, and he also has the ability to elementalize his body.

In a sense, the Iceman is immortal.

Just as the boy was watching Depp in the video with curiosity, the temperature in the antique shop suddenly dropped.

A thick layer of ice crystals quickly formed on the door, and then the door, which was already frozen and brittle, was kicked open.

Looking at Mr. Freeze with his hood shattered at the door, Depp heard a science-related tip.

Chapter 45 No one is perfect [Seeking monthly tickets and recommendations]

"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."

Upon hearing the system notification, Depp couldn't help but marvel at how much he had gained that night.

Depp walked from the back room to the front desk, ignoring Mr. Freeze who had suddenly barged in, because the guy had fainted on the floor as soon as he entered the room.

Mr. Freeze was created because of an experimental accident that required him to survive at temperatures below zero.

If the temperature reaches above zero degrees Celsius, his vitality will slowly dissipate and he will die.

When this guy came in, Depp noticed that the mask on his armor was torn and the chill inside the suit was gradually dissipating.

It appears he has just escaped from Falcone's men.
