I'm doing bidirectional science popularization in American comics

On the other side, Batman didn't continue to crush Martian Manhunter's already battered spirit, and instead said, "Mars Manhunter? Hmm, I guess I could also call you John. First of all, Depp is definitely one of us, that's something we've confirmed after years of fighting side by side, you can be completely certain of that. Then, although I don't know how to explain it, Depp seems to have the ability to foresee the future. He has predicted the arrival of crises countless times and organized us to resist them in advance, protecting Gotham, and even protecting the entire Earth."

"Predicting the future?" Martian Hunter's pupils contracted in shock. "How could someone possibly possess such an unreliable ability? This is simply not scientific!"

Even Depp and Clark couldn't hold back anymore.

Depp pointed helplessly at Martian Manhunter himself and said, "You don't actually think your abilities are scientific, do you? If they were scientific, you could emit heat rays, fly through the air, and move at such high speeds?"

Martian Manhunter remained unconvinced and explained rather meticulously, "I can use heat rays because I can store a certain amount of energy in my body and then release it as heat rays through my eyes."

"As for flight and rapid movement, that's because I can manipulate the magnetic field of my own molecules and the surrounding gravitational quanta, and this is not without theoretical basis!"

Depp covered his head, pointed at the Joker and Batman, and asked, "If your abilities are so scientific, why can't the other two?"

"That's because our physical constitutions are different!" the Martian hunter said firmly.

clap clap clap!

Upon hearing this, Depp immediately clapped his hands and said, "That's right. People's physical constitutions cannot be generalized. Since you can have a physical constitution that surpasses that of ordinary people and gain all kinds of extraordinary powers, why can't I have a different physical constitution than you and then... gain some control over the future in advance?"

"Oh, this..."

Depp's words left Martian Manhunter speechless.

Although he felt that Depp's words were somewhat far-fetched, far-fetched words are still a kind of reason, at least Martian Manhunter couldn't think of a reason to refute them for the time being.

“Alright John, that’s not the point right now.” Depp put his arm around Martian Manhunter’s shoulder and looked up at the sky. “The point right now is those Kryptonians hiding somewhere. General Zod is not a small fry to be trifled with.”

“So, what should we do now?” the Martian hunter asked.

“We need to find those guys and launch a surprise attack before they can launch their assault.” Depp paused, then said, “Simply put, find Zod and the others, and then ambush them immediately!”

"A sneak attack...you really don't mince words," Martian Hunter thought to himself, then said, "So, we need to launch a global, carpet search?"

"Are you kidding me?" Batman retorted. "Don't expect to send ordinary people to their deaths. And the fact that their spaceship was able to arrive on Earth so silently means that Earth's current technology is completely ineffective against their stealth technology."

"So what do you mean?" Martian Manhunter looked at Depp.

“We have to find Zod ourselves,” Depp said. “We’re faster than all the armies in the world combined, so I need you and Clark to run and search the earth non-stop, day and night.”

"And what about you?" Martian Hunter asked. "Your speed is definitely not slow."

Depp put the cleaned-up Mirror on his eyes and said, "As for me, I need to observe everyone you see. Only I can tell who is a Kryptonian and who is a human."

Clark pulled out his treasured camera from behind him and said, "I brought this with me, Mr. Depp. This is something I prepared in advance for my future work as a journalist."

“Well done, Clark, what a good and sensible young man,” Depp said, then changed the subject: “However, we probably won’t need your camera this time, because we have it now, Martian Manhunter.”

"You know my abilities?" Martian Hunter asked in surprise.

“Of course, John, if I hadn’t known everything beforehand, how do you think I found you?” Depp said with a smile. “I need you to use your mind-linking ability to link the three of our consciousnesses together, and then share your visions with me. I will be able to tell whether everyone you see is human or Kryptonian.”

There's something Depp didn't say: because what they saw might also be life lurking in the human world from other planets.

Of course, for the time being, apart from Zod and his Kryptonians, the other aliens lurking on Earth are not important at all.

However, this incident also gave Depp an idea: he might be able to establish an organization like the Men in Black in the future to manage all aliens stranded on Earth and alien-related events.

It has to be said that Depp is now involved in or has formed quite a few organizations.

For example, the Depp Group, the Justice League, and the increasingly reddened Court of Owls.

However, these thoughts need to be put aside for the time being. What Depp is most concerned about now is the whereabouts of Zod and his group.

Martian Manhunter, upon hearing Depp's words, replied, "Well, if you know about abilities, then you should know that I possess the ability to telepathize and invade other people's minds."

"What do you mean?" Depp frowned slightly.

“I mean, I also have the ability to distinguish between humans and Kryptonians; I just need to look at their memories,” Martian Manhunter said proudly.

Upon hearing this, Depp said without any mercy, "And then, like before, kneel on the ground, constantly touching your mouth and panting heavily?"

"What the hell!" Martian Manhunter's momentum was once again completely suppressed by Depp, and then he said in a wronged tone, "That was just an accident. Damn it, I've never been affected by the backlash in all these years! Since I met you, I've been affected by the backlash twice in one day. This is not scientific!"

“Whether it’s scientific or not doesn’t matter, John. I’m just trying to comfort you,” Depp said. “You’re very capable, but there’s no guarantee you won’t suffer a backlash, so just do as I say.”

Martian Manhunter lowered his head and finally agreed with Depp, saying, "Okay, this time, I believe you. I hope you won't let me down!"

“Of course, once we find them, you can bring our top combat power!” Depp extended his hand and said, “Welcome to the Justice League, Comrade John Jones.”

Holding Depp's hand, Martian Manhunter suddenly felt that the man in front of him seemed to possess a magical charm.

He has the ability to make people want to be close to him without ever making them feel distant or alienated.

This was the first time he had met such an interesting guy in all the years he had lived on Earth.

Of course, Depp isn't the only interesting one.

The presence of Batman, Clark, and even the terrifying Joker behind him amused Martian Manhunter.

Of course, Depp had told him before that not all members of the Justice League were present tonight, which made Martian Manhunter even more excited to meet more interesting people in the future.

Martian Manhunter smiled and said, "It's a great honor, Mr. Depp."

Upon seeing Martian Manhunter officially join the team, Batman and the others immediately came over and shook hands with him.

Although Batman was the one who first invited Johnny Depp to join the Justice League, he had long been accustomed to everyone regarding Depp as the true leader of the league.

In any case, it doesn't matter to Bruce who the leader of the Justice League is.

Fighting evil, protecting Gotham, and safeguarding the Earth are what Bruce truly values.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Depp pulled Martian Manhunter and Clark to his side, and the three of them formed a circle around him. He then said to Martian Manhunter, "I think we can begin."

Chapter 351 The Battle of Metropolis (Part 7)

Upon hearing Depp's command, a white light flashed in Martian Manhunter's eyes.

Then, an invisible chain of thought linked the three together. Martian Manhunter once again used his mind synchronization ability to project the images he and Clark saw into Depp's mind.

Depp stood straight, his eyes closed. Now, in his field of vision, it was as if there were two screens, one displaying the view of Martian Manhunter and the other of Clark.

However, what Depp found interesting was that the two men saw almost identical images – their own faces.

Depp said with a smile:

"I think you can set off now. Split up, and I need you to carefully examine every inch of this planet and every living creature by tomorrow night."

“Especially those humans like us, such as Zod and others, who may have already infiltrated the general population. We need to dig them out one by one!”

“Okay, Mr. Depp.” Martian Manhunter finished speaking and slowly rose into the sky, his blue cloak fluttering in the night wind. Then he used his invisibility and blurring abilities to make his figure disappear completely into the night wind.

Unbeknownst to everyone, Martian Manhunter had already begun searching every house in the streets and alleys of Gotham City.

On the other side, Clark also said, "I'm off too, Depp!"

After saying that, Clark immediately started running at super speed. Wearing the Superman suit, Clark was like a blue phantom, searching carefully in every part of Gotham City, even in the sewers, in the opposite direction from Martian Manhunter.

As images flashed by, Depp, through the Mirror of Profiles, read through all the names, information, identities, and abilities of these people.

While his brain was working at lightning speed, processing this information, Depp sent the information to Martian Manhunter and Clark respectively.

“John, that young man is named Clark Kent, and his Kryptonian name is Elkar. He is a Kryptonian son, and his abilities are quite similar to yours. He also possesses super speed, super strength, super endurance, and heat ray abilities. Of course, he is still in his growth stage, and many of his abilities have not yet reached their peak, or have not even been fully developed.”

"Clark, that green guy, is called Martian Manhunter. His real name on Earth is John Jones, and his name on Mars is Ron Jungs. His abilities are similar to yours: super strength, super speed, super endurance, heat rays, and he also possesses telepathy and mind linking abilities. John's abilities are quite mature, but his potential is far less than yours."

Depp sent these two messages because just as the two took off, he heard the system's voice and that familiar yet unfamiliar sentence: "All elements are complete, two-way science popularization is possible. Successful science popularization will randomly select one special ability from each party, two Fragments of Destiny, and one week of travel time in the Marvel world."

Meanwhile, after Martian Manhunter and Clark received the message, Depp heard that familiar and beautiful voice in his ears.

"Two-way science popularization successful. Obtain Fragment of Destiny x1 and randomly draw two special abilities."

"Gain the ability to become ethereal, like Martian Manhunter Ron Jungs."

Depp nodded upon hearing this. This ability was quite useful, allowing him to make his body ethereal and thus evade all impending attacks.

This ability is the most overpowered of Martian Manhunter's abilities, and it's one of the reasons why he was able to hold his own against the Justice League in the comics.

Depp estimates that this is related to Martian Manhunter's telepathic projection ability, which allows him to hide his body in another dimension to avoid attacks from this dimension.

I have to say, this is a huge profit!

However, the next sentence from the system left Depp speechless.

"Obtain the Kryptonian Codex from Superman Clark Kent."

"Ok?"

Depp was a little confused. He thought he would gain Clark's heat rays, flight, super strength, or other abilities to further enhance himself.

But Depp was genuinely stumped by this Kryptonian secret manual.

Looking at the object that suddenly appeared in his hand, which resembled a swirling mass of blue and gold quicksand, Depp fell into deep thought.

What use would I have for this thing?

Are you kidding me, system? I don't want to open a Kryptonian farm, why are you giving me this?!

However, despite his inner grumbling, Depp still managed to store the Kryptonian Codex into his system space without Bruce and the others noticing.

Regardless, this thing is ridiculously beautiful. If all else fails, you can just leave it at home and let Selena use it as a decoration; it'll do.

Depp multitasked, taking stock of his recent gains while simultaneously organizing and analyzing the information about humans that Martian Manhunter and Clark had observed.

Soon, the two had searched the entire city of Gotham, and as expected, there was no trace of any Kryptonians in Gotham City.

Depp felt a mix of regret and relief.

Meanwhile, after settling Little Dick in, Selena also arrived at Wayne Tower.

Seeing this, Depp immediately said to Martian Manhunter, "John, help me link Selena to our minds as well, yes, the lady next to me. Yes, she's blue!"

Martian Hunter quickly connected with Selena's thoughts and exclaimed, "Madam, are you Selena? Forgive my bluntness, but you really aren't!"

It's unclear whether it was because Selena's blue skin made Martian Manhunter feel a sense of familiarity after she used the Siren Queen's Possession, but her words infuriated Depp.

“Shut up, John! Selena is my woman, so do your job!” Depp turned to Selena and said, “Darling, the ocean part is yours to explore. I trust you to handle it.”

Then, Depp said to Martian Manhunter again, "The plan has changed, John. I need you to use your flight ability to search the skies above Earth. Leave all the ground tasks to Clark!"

"Yes, sir." Martian Hunter said helplessly, "I must say, your wife is really..."

"Get out of here! Take a taxi and get out!" Depp yelled without any mercy.

"Hahahahahaha!"

Martian Manhunter soared into the sky, heading straight for the horizon, but his laughter kept echoing in Depp's mind.
