Superman Marvel Adventures

Because of his Kryptonian nature, he recovered quite a bit after sunbathing for a while. Although he couldn't compare to his usual state, he seemed to be fine for going to Gotham City and taking revenge himself. So he soared into the sky and left the city, which had become a ruin. After a few more attempts, he appeared in Gotham City, the sin capital of America.

Gotham City was no stranger to him; he had a friend who lived there and usually frequented the area. However, he wasn't there to see his friend. Instead, he flew directly to the police station near Seventh Avenue in Gotham City, because he had just used his X-ray vision to see the Joker being questioned by his old friend while tied to a chair.

Although his X-ray vision revealed that his old friend seemed quite angry and was thoroughly disciplining the guy called the Joker, from a modern perspective, such methods were far too lenient. Being gentle with a villain is cruel to good people. Seeing this, he couldn't help but think of a certain saying. Finally, filled with rage, he broke through the wall of the Gotham City Police Department and walked directly into the Joker's interrogation room.

As soon as the man entered, he heard the clown's maniacal laughter. He said, "Waaaaah, Mr. Man, you've finally arrived! Do you like the gift I gave you?"

The man walked over expressionlessly, casually pushed aside his old friend who was trying to persuade him, and grabbed the clown, slamming him hard against the wall.

“The entire city’s inhabitants, those innocent people!” the man gritted his teeth and said, “And…and Louis…my son, those people…those people were all killed by you!”

"Cough cough, no, the people weren't killed by me!" The clown coughed a few times before shouting, "The one who really killed those people is yourself, people, hahahahahahaha!!!"

The Joker was bleeding from being slammed against the wall with his neck grabbed, but even so, there wasn't a trace of fear or pain on his face. All he showed was madness.

"Clown!!!" The man instantly flew into a rage, shouting loudly, one hand clenched into a fist, ready to smash the clown's face hard.

Just then, his old friend grabbed the man's arm and said, "No, man, calm down! If you do this, you'll fall into the clown's trap!"

“That’s right, man, you should let me go. Then I’ll go to Arkham Asylum to rest for a few months or years. By then, you should have someone you like, right? Hmm, we can do it again, you know.” The Joker saw that the man had stopped and immediately began to mock him. “I remember that woman from the mythology seemed to like you a lot.”

"Shut up, Joker!" his friend shouted as soon as he saw the Joker provoking people.

But it was too late. The man had already pushed his old friend aside and, filled with rage, slammed his fist into the clown's head. With a bang, the clown's head shattered into pieces, like a watermelon that had been smashed open.

---------------------Real World-------

"No!!!!" Adam suddenly woke up with a scream, then realized that he had just had a nightmare, and took a breath to calm himself down.

"Honey, what's wrong?" Christine was startled awake by Adam's exclamation and immediately got up to ask, "What happened?"

"Did I disturb you, Christine? Don't worry, I'm fine. I just had a nightmare," Adam said apologetically to Christine.

"What kind of nightmare would make a hero like you cry out in surprise?" Christine leaned closer and asked.

"I dreamt that I killed someone." Adam didn't hide anything and said, "No, I should say that I dreamt of memories of killing someone in another world."

“Memories of killing in another world?” Christine frowned and said, “What does that mean? That shouldn’t be the case. I remember you said that in another world you were one of the founders of the Justice League, and that our Justice League was formed because of that memory.”

“I don’t know either. This is the only plausible explanation right now.” Adam paused and continued, “Because Batman appeared in my dream. He’s a character from another world of my memories.”

"Do you suspect that you killed someone in another world?" Christine asked.

“Yes, in this dream I saw myself in another world, and it seems that someone plotted against me and killed my wife and son, and destroyed a city that was equivalent to New York City, so I killed in anger.” Adam told Christine about his previous nightmare, and continued, “Given my personality, if I really encountered something like this, I would have long forgotten all about oaths.”

“But even so, it should have nothing to do with you.” Christine tightened her grip on Adam’s arm and looked at him, saying, “Although you have memories of another world, you are not that person, not that Clark Kent, but Adam Stark of this world, my man!”

After hearing this, Adam kissed Christine and said, "Hehe, thank you for comforting me, but don't worry, I was just suddenly startled by the idea of ​​murder, it's nothing. I was just wondering why I suddenly had this kind of nightmare."

“Maybe it’s you in a parallel universe,” Christine suddenly said. “I recently watched one that seemed to have a similar plot.”

Adam smiled slightly after hearing this and said, "Maybe, but I still have to say, I'm so lucky to have you, Christine, I love you!"

"I love you too!" Christine leaned out and showed her love for Adam through her actions.

Okay, now you can think about it yourselves. That's all. 8

Chapter 348 Unexpected News

The next day, Adam got up early, told Christine, left home, drove to Stark Tower, and went straight into his father's old laboratory. He vaguely remembered having some kind of examination done there when he was a child; he couldn't remember the specifics, but he was certain that after he first came into this world, his father had taken him in and given him a full-body checkup.

His father's laboratory is well preserved. After all, this is where Howard Stark conducts research. Neither Tony nor he allows anyone else to touch the things inside. Moreover, it seems that only Adam and Tony are allowed to enter the entire Stark Industries. Even Pepper, who is now the CEO of Stark Industries, does not have the right to enter here.

"Hello, Mr. Adam, how can I help you?" Jarvis's warm voice came from an instrument near the laboratory door as Adam walked to the entrance.

“Help me open the door, Jarvis. I need to look at some of Father’s information,” Adam said to Jarvis with a smile.

With a soft click, the lock opened, followed by Jarvis's voice: "The door's open, Mr. Adam. Have a good time."

"Thanks, Jarvis. By the way, what's Tony doing?" Adam asked as he opened the door and walked in.

“Mr. Tony should be on a date right now,” Jarvis said uncertainly. “He seems to have his eye on another beautiful girl lately.”

"What? On a date? What about Pepper?" Adam asked in surprise. "Is something wrong between them?"

"They've already broken up, Mr. Adam, didn't you know?" Jarvis said calmly.

"You broke up? Why? Tony didn't seem to tell me last time," Adam asked, puzzled.

Although he didn't know his younger brother very well, he knew that he was serious about Peppertoni, but he didn't expect that they had already broken up.

“As for why, I don’t know either, but the only thing I do know is that Mr. Tony locked himself in the lab that day and studied for a whole day without eating or drinking, and almost fainted in the end.” Jarvis’s voice was filled with a hint of worry as he said, “But it seems that he has recovered now and has found a new girlfriend.”

Adam could only listen to Jarvis's words; after all, no matter how high Jarvis's intelligence was, he couldn't understand the concept of love. However, Adam couldn't interfere after listening, as it was Tony and Pepper's private matter. Moreover, if his lover Christine wasn't a superhero with super abilities, then perhaps his final outcome would be similar to Tony's. After all, no woman would want to date a man who always leaves halfway through a date.

"Never mind, I'll ask Tony later. Okay Jarvis, you can go now, we don't need your help here." Adam sighed for a moment, then decided to go about his business. He immediately told Jarvis to leave, since he didn't want to tell anyone what he was about to do.

“Okay, Mr. Adam, have a good time!” Jarvis said immediately upon hearing Adam’s words, and turned off all the surveillance equipment in the room.

Adam was already sitting in a chair in his father's lounge, gently stroking the armrest. He looked at a photo frame on the desk in the lounge and gently wiped away the dust.

"Sigh, it's been several years already. I can hardly remember what my mother looks like anymore. Am I being unfilial? Although she's not my biological mother, she's the one who raised me." Adam sighed softly as he looked at the family photo.

Indeed, although it seems like only a few years have passed since the couple died, a lot has happened since then. Some things from their childhood seem to have been forgotten. No, it shouldn't be forgotten, but rather those memories have been subconsciously ignored.

Adam pondered these inexplicable thoughts for a long time, and by the time he came to his senses, an hour had passed. This left Adam somewhat speechless; why was he acting like an old man? Could last night's dream really have had such a significant impact on him?

Adam shook his head, clearing his mind of the jumbled thoughts, and began searching his father's laboratory for clues about when he first came into this world. After searching for a long time, he used his speed and X-ray vision to finally find an examination report containing some information about himself and some objects in a hidden room.

"Hmm, so you've had a body of steel since you were a child?" Adam looked at some reports in his hand that recorded his childhood, shrugged, and said, "Then, are there any other records?"

Adam searched for a while and actually found something: a box with the words "To Tony" written on it. Upon seeing this, Adam felt an urge to open the box. Although he tried desperately to control himself, he couldn't suppress his curiosity and the purpose of his visit, and ultimately opened the box.

The box wasn't big, so there wasn't anything special inside, just a letter and a notebook. Oh, and a few cube-shaped things. Adam looked at them and saw that they seemed to have a special locking mechanism; unless he used force, he couldn't open them.

"Let's take a look at this letter first. If we use our X-ray vision, we should be able to see what Father said to Tony," Adam muttered to himself. "It's a bit immoral, but there are some things that really bother me."

Adam then used his X-ray vision to read the contents of the letter. The first half of the letter described his father's expectations for Tony and some speculations. Then came the main text, which stated that if Adam himself had done something wrong, then Tony would have the responsibility to handle it in his place. The letter then listed some weaknesses that Howard Stark had discovered in Adam after conducting an examination years ago. Of course, these weaknesses were written according to Howard's own understanding at the time, so some of them might not be effective now. However, these were some backup plans that Howard had left behind to prevent Adam from destroying the world.

Adam wasn't angry or resentful towards Howard Stark when he saw these things. After all, he was raised by Howard Stark, and Howard left these things because he was afraid that he would harm the world. Adam could also imagine Howard Stark's feelings when he wrote the letter.

"It seems Dad passed away before he could tell Tony about these things," Adam sighed, looking at the box he had opened.

Indeed, if Howard Stark had had time to utter his last words, perhaps this box shouldn't be in the lab right now, but rather Tony should have taken it back and put it in a lead box to prevent Adam from finding it.

Speaking of which, it's because Howard died too early that he didn't know Adam's X-ray vision was countered by something like a shield or energy barrier; otherwise, Adam wouldn't have been able to find this box today.

However, Adam eventually put the box back, since he couldn't find what he was looking for inside. Just then, a piece of paper lying on the ground caught Adam's eye. A thought struck him, and he picked it up.

"Hmm, what is this? A medical report? Suspected clone, but the clone's vital signs have disappeared due to exposure to unknown rays?" Adam looked at the medical report in his hand, and for some reason, he suddenly didn't want to see the name that was covered by his thumb.

"Heh, what are you talking about? Clones, heh, that's hilarious." Adam chuckled a few times, but he couldn't continue. No matter how much he tried to deceive himself, the test report that appeared in this secret room could only be his own. After all, the names of Stark and Jarvis were listed in the section for the testers, and the matter that required these two people to personally handle it could only be related to him.

Sure enough, no matter how much Adam hoped for the best, when he moved his thumb away and looked at the name column, he still saw the words 'A Gift from the Sky - Adam'.

Chapter 349 Confusion and Proposal

He was just a clone? How ironic. Adam looked at the identification report left by his father or old butler Jarvis and gave a self-deprecating laugh, but his heart was filled with sorrow. He had always believed that the memories in his mind were those of himself in another world, and that the great figure in those memories was himself in that other world. Therefore, he always felt that he could not disgrace the name Superman in this world, and he believed that he could definitely become a superhero like the one in the previous world.

But who could have imagined that it was all just an illusion, that he was merely a clone of someone else, that the great figure in his memory was not him at all, but a clone that someone else might have created out of jealousy of that great figure's existence, such as the person in his memory—Lex Luthor!

Adam sat there, lost in thought. He didn't know what to do next. Could he continue wearing the Superman costume? Was he even capable of playing the role of Superman? He was completely bewildered.

Does my life still have any meaning? Am I a separate individual, or just someone else's shadow?

Adam sat in the secret room, not knowing what to do or what else he was capable of doing.

"Sigh, was everything I did even meaningful?" Adam sighed softly. "It turns out that I've always felt something was off about my memories. Some of the memories about my true identity have somehow disappeared. How ironic."

"This is not irony, but a gift from the universe!" a voice suddenly came from behind Adam.

Adam paused for a moment, then shouted, "Who is it?"

“It’s me, darling.” Christine’s figure appeared in front of Adam along with her voice. She said, “I felt something was off about you after I woke up this morning, so I followed you invisibly.”

Adam sighed after hearing this, sat down on the ground, and said, "Have you already seen everything?"

“Yes, I saw it all,” Christine said, sitting down beside her.

"Don't come any closer!" Adam shouted immediately. "Don't come any closer, I...I..."

*Slap!* A slap landed on Adam's face—it was Christine!

With red eyes, she asked Adam, "What's wrong? Adam, what happened to the Adam Stark I know?"

"I don't know, I don't know who I am? I don't know how to face you now, how to face those people who call me Superman," Adam said, holding his head in his hands, looking somewhat lost.

"Did you become a superhero simply because of that figure in your memory? Did everything you did in this world just happen to be Superman in another world of the Rubik's Cube?" Christine demanded sharply. "Answer me, Adam, have you been living only in your own memories all along?"

"No, I didn't!!" Adam shouted, raising his head, but his voice trailed off as he said, "I became a superhero because I wanted to be that kind of person."

“Yes, you became a superhero because of your own will. Although you may have been influenced by your memories, that’s not necessarily a bad thing.” Christine flashed to Adam’s side, grabbed Adam’s hand and placed it on her chest, and asked, “Feel it, can you feel my heart beating?”

"The beating of the heart?" Adam murmured, looking at Christine.

Christine blushed slightly, then said firmly, "Yes, Adam, feel it, my heart is beating for you!"

Thump~~~Thump~~~Thump~~~ The sound of his heart beating reached Adam's ears. He looked at Christine's face and read the love in her eyes.

“You are not someone else’s shadow, Adam. You are you, you are Adam Stark, not the person you remember.” Christine stared at Adam and said, “Man cannot decide his own birth, but the universe has given you the greatest gift. It has made you forget your identity as a clone. Because of it, you are not Clark Kent’s clone in this world, but a person named Adam Stark, my lover, and the superhero beloved by the people here.”

"A gift from the universe?" Adam murmured.

“That’s right. Look at the report your uncle wrote. It clearly shows that when he first took you in, you still had a special radiation fluctuation in your body. Because of this, your genes would automatically collapse once they left your body, thus preventing some bad things from happening,” Christine said, looking at Adam.

"Really?" Adam was taken aback. He had only seen the clones and then stopped reading, so he hadn't seen the speculations and annotations written by his father, Howard Stark.

Adam picked up the paper he had just thrown away and continued reading. Sure enough, he soon discovered some writings by Howard Stark. Although it was just an identity verification report, Howard had also included some of his visions for Adam's future, perhaps because he had just become a father at that time.

"Heh, that old man, he's talking about me too, writing all sorts of irrelevant things on his report." Adam said, wiping away the strange liquid that was flowing from his eyes and smiling slightly.

"Adam, you're alright, that's wonderful!" Christine cried tears of joy upon seeing Adam's renewed vitality.

"I'm sorry to have worried you, darling. I was just too surprised and lost my composure for a moment." Adam hugged Christine and said with lingering fear, "Thank goodness you came and woke me up in time."

"I'm so glad you're okay. I was so scared, scared that I would lose you forever," Christine said, her voice trembling with tears.

"It's alright, it's all alright now. I was a little confused and forgot that I'm an individual in this world, with a father named Howard Stark, a cocky brother named Tony Stark, and most importantly, a wonderful woman who loves me wholeheartedly!" Adam looked at Christine affectionately and said, "Christine, let's get married!"

Christine was taken aback and exclaimed in surprise, "Huh? What did you say?"

“I said, let’s get married! Let’s get married first, then have one or two children, and then watch our children grow up. Maybe that’s more meaningful than saving the world all day long,” Adam said, hugging Christine.

Christine playfully punched Adam, scolding, "Ugh, what kind of proposal is that? Humph, this doesn't count, I won't say yes. Not romantic at all!"
