I'm doing bidirectional science popularization in American comics

Gordon took the mechanical gloves and immediately put them on.

This is a mechanical arm that is much smaller than Depp's, and similarly, the various offensive techniques inside are also much less powerful than Depp's.

Although Depp said it was because Gordon and Harvey's physical attributes were tailored to them, the real reason was that they couldn't charge their weapons with lightning like he could, so they couldn't add weapons with too much power.

Even so, Gordon was very satisfied. As a veteran and former police officer, he quickly became familiar with how to use the robotic arm.

"This is amazing! I think we can start now!"

Upon hearing Gordon's words, the bat-dog, which had been licking the swallow, immediately raised its head, stood up, and began to patrol its surroundings on alert.

“It seems Alfred trained him very well.” Depp looked at Bruce and said, “Where are those clay-faced monsters?”

Bruce waved his hand and said, "Come with me. The bungalow where they're hiding is only two alleys away from here."

Not far from where the group met, in a bungalow, two men covered in mud were discussing the loot from their robbery that day.

In another room of the bungalow, a woman covered in mud was struggling to carry a lump of human-shaped mud onto the bed.

She then took out a bottle of unknown medicine from the cabinet and injected it into the humanoid mud body on the bed with a syringe.

"Honey, hang in there, it'll be over soon," the woman with the muddy face said to the mud on the bed.

With the injection of the drug, the mud, which was becoming increasingly limp, began to reshape itself and slowly transformed into a thin male mud figure.

Depp, who was wearing the Mirror of Introduction, discovered that the four people in the room were actually the first to fourth generations of Mudface!

The two people discussing their gains were the first Clayface [Basso Caro] and the second Clayface [Matt Hagen].

The two, who resemble a married couple, are a man who was injected with the drug and is the third generation of Clayface [Preston Payne], while the woman is the fourth generation of Clayface [Sandra Fowler].

Something's definitely wrong with this world!

Now that he knew who his opponent was, Depp began to formulate a battle plan.

The first and second generation Mudfaces are the easiest to deal with; they are just Mudmen with greater strength. In fact, the mud-turning effect of the second generation Mudfaces has a time limit.

As for the third and fourth generations of the ill-fated couple with mud faces, they are much more difficult to deal with.

Preston Payne can melt anyone he touches, just like himself, and his strength is astonishing.

Sandra Fowler possesses the ability to mimic others, and after mimicking someone, she gains all of that person's superpowers.

In other words, if Sandra were to mimic herself, she would immediately gain the ability to control the weather and the movement of water molecules.

Therefore, the plan was for Depp to deal with the first and second Clayfaces himself, while Bruce and Gordon would deal with the third and fourth Clayfaces.

After all, if Sandra were to mimic him, it would be easy to expose himself.

As for Selena and the Batdog, their job is to keep watch outside and prevent these guys from escaping.

With that in mind, Depp immediately shared his battle plan and the special abilities of the Mudfaces with the others.

Bruce asked in surprise, "How do you know what abilities they all have?"

Depp didn't speak, but simply pointed to his helmet, indicating that these people's abilities were all in his mind, and he simply knew them.

Upon seeing this, Bruce realized that the helmet had the ability to analyze the opponent's abilities.

Then he asked with concern, "Are you sure you can handle two of them by yourself?"

"Don't worry, I can always ask you for help if I can't beat them!" Depp handed the mechanical arm that originally belonged to Harvey to Bruce and said, "You can use Harvey's mechanical glove first, after all, the freeze beam is the nemesis of these guys."

Although the lightning he generated could subdue these guys, Depp didn't want to use it until the very last moment.

Bruce took the gloves and nodded: "If you encounter danger, call for help immediately. Don't try to tough it out."

"Then... let's begin!"

Selena and the bat-dog stood guard on either side of the gate, seemingly disliking each other.

Depp approached the window of the room where Basso and Matt were, and while the two were still arguing about who had gained more, he shielded his head with his arm and leaped into the room.

Amidst the sound of shattering glass and the surprised expressions of the two Mudfaces, Depp aimed his palms at the two men, switching his palm cannons to freeze beam mode and unleashing their full power.

The next moment, a chill instantly filled the entire room, and Matt and Basso were frozen in surprise at that instant.

The freezing beam was indeed the bane of these two, and Depp's side ended the battle in just a moment.

Matt and Basso, who were frozen in place, didn't even have time to transform into Mud Monster mode.

However, the other side was in a tough fight because Gordon and Bruce were not yet very familiar with operating the mechanical arm, and the mud monsters were not the same in terms of physique.

Therefore, the first freezing beam did not completely freeze Payne and Sandra.

Having lost the initiative, the couple immediately launched a counterattack.

In his rage, Payne instantly transformed into a giant mud monster nearly three meters tall, his head even piercing through the ceiling.

Payne swung his arms like cleavers at Gordon and Bruce, who could only roll away temporarily in the confined space.

Sandra immediately mimicked Bruce's appearance. When she realized that Bruce was just an ordinary person with no superpowers, Sandra, like her husband, turned into a giant mud monster.

The two clay-faced giants, each over three meters tall, were extremely imposing, and because of their enormous size, ordinary freezing beams were no longer very effective against them.

After all, as long as they are not completely frozen in an instant, they can use their bodies and immense strength to break free from the ice.

Depp, having dealt with the two men, rushed over immediately, only to be struck by Payne's massive mud chop and sent flying out of the window.

"Iron Fist!!"

Bruce and Gordon shouted when they saw this!

Chapter 57 Splatoon

When they saw Iron Fist get slapped away by Mudface, Bruce and Gordon's hearts skipped a beat.

While praying that Depp was not in any danger, she kept using the freezing beam to attack the two clay-faced monsters.

However, the mechanical arms they possessed had limited energy; even with the freezing beam at maximum power, it could only freeze up to half of the Mudface Monster's body.

Then the opponent will break free of the ice block in the next moment and continue to attack.

Under the relentless attack of the two mud-faced monsters, the entire bungalow was already on the verge of collapse.

Depp, who had been sent flying, stood up unharmed, his eyes rolling back as he began to channel lightning.

The dark clouds overhead immediately began to rumble, and then two bolts of lightning, each as thick as an arm, struck Depp's mechanical arms.

The data on the helmet's light screen refreshed rapidly, and the robotic arm's energy level reached 400%.

Upon seeing the energy parameters, Depp exclaimed, "Fantastic! Time to unleash it!"

The lightning strike was so powerful that it attracted the attention of the catwoman and the bat dog on the other side.

Selena's eyes widened, and she asked with concern, "What just happened? Are you hurt, darling?"

Bat Dog: "Woof woof woof!"

Depp explained, "It's nothing, just powering up the gloves."

Despite the loud thunder outside, Bruce and Gordon inside were completely oblivious to the sound of the Clayface monster smashing the house.

Gordon narrowly dodged the mud monster's chop, still shaken, and said, "These two guys are strong! My mechanical arm is almost out of power!"

Bruce glanced at Gordon, who was already covered in wounds, and said, "It seems we have to retreat for now."

After saying that, he grabbed Gordon's arm and jumped out of the window where Depp had been knocked away.

As soon as Bruce jumped out of the window, he saw Depp standing outside.

He grabbed Depp's arm with his other hand and said, "Great, you're alive! Let's get out of here, these guys are a bit tough."

However, Depp remained unmoved and directly aimed his palm cannon at the bungalow.

"Are you crazy?"

Bruce roared. Having just fought these guys, he knew how powerful these two were, and that ordinary freezing rays were no longer effective against them.

He didn't want to watch Iron Fist die right in front of him.

"Difficult to deal with?"

Depp countered with a question, by which time Payne had already stepped halfway out of the bungalow.

Seeing Depp outside the window, Payne's muddy face, which resembled a melting candle, splattered with mud, and he immediately sneered, "So scared that you can't even run away?"

In his view, even Batman had to temporarily avoid his sharp edge, so how could this iron fist, which he knocked away at first sight, possibly be his opponent?

As Depp watched Payne struggling to climb out of the window, energy rapidly gathered in his palm.

With the powerful energy supply, even the entire robotic arm began to cool down rapidly, and white frost meandered up the robotic arm.

Subsequently, four hundred percent of the armor's energy was converted into a freezing beam, which was then ejected in an instant.

In a sense, this can no longer be called a beam of light.

After the freezing beam from Depp's palm shot out, the compressed freezing energy immediately expanded countless times, almost encompassing the entire bungalow.

The chill emanating from the air sent shivers down the spines of all the residents in the vicinity.

To Bruce's astonishment, in a mere instant, the entire house, along with the several clay-faced monsters inside, was frozen into an ice sculpture.

Even though Payne was frozen in ice, the same disdainful sneer he had just worn remained on his face.

The freezing was so fast that he didn't even have time to show any surprise on his face.

Depp patted Payne's sneer-worthy face through the ice and said, "I just love your rebellious side."

It's worth noting that when Mr. Freeze attacked the casino in Falcone, it was only after a fierce firefight that the surface of the building was gradually frozen.

In a mere instant, Depp froze the entire house and everything inside into an ice sculpture.

Gordon was so shocked that he couldn't speak. They both used the freezing ray, so why was there such a big difference between his and the other person's?

Could it be that people's physical constitutions really cannot be generalized?

Selena was somewhat used to it; what was it to freeze a bungalow in an instant?

He can even send himself flying in an instant! (Referring to using his wind manipulation ability to make the two of them fly together)

hum~

The bat-dog stared blankly at the ice sculpture before it, uttering a puzzled sound: "Woof?"

However, Bruce was the most shocked of all these people.
