Superman Marvel Adventures

Howard glanced at the deformed lancet in his hand, shrugged, and said, "Looks like I underestimated this little guy." He then handed the lancet to Jarvis.

Upon seeing this, Jarvis exclaimed in surprise, "Oh my God, what's going on?"

Howard said seriously, "Alright, don't be surprised, Jarvis. You should be prepared. We'll find out why." He then took another lancet from the side and discovered that these lancets couldn't pierce the child's skin at all.

Jarvis glanced at the somewhat dejected Howard and chuckled, "Yes, sir, I'm no longer surprised!"

Howard scratched his head after hearing this and said, "Okay, this method won't work. Jarvis, help me find the adamantite rough I left here before, that little scrap piece."

Jarvis nodded and said, "I understand. I'll go look for it now. I remember where it is!" Then he left.

Howard looked at the child he had woken up and asked, "Who exactly are you?"

Jarvis quickly brought over the adamantite ore and said, "I think we should probably look at his uniform; there might be some clues there."

Howard nodded and said, "Take that uniform out and check it. I'll go make a lancet! Maybe I'll collect some adamantium ore later to use for cutting his hair and nails!"

Jarvis said as he took out the uniform, "Oh no, that's too bad. Maybe there's another way, isn't there?"

Howard shrugged after hearing this and said, "Okay, I was just venting, don't take it too seriously, Jarvis!" Then he took the adamantium alloy and used it to make a very luxurious blood collection needle that was being prepared nearby.

Jarvis didn't reply, but picked up the uniform and examined it carefully, saying, "Oh, let me see. The feel of it suggests it's made of some kind of high-tech synthetic material. And judging from the overall design, its owner must be a superhero like Captain America. The 'S' on the chest must be his symbol."

Howard said while operating the machine, "Yeah, I figured it out right away!"

Jarvis ignored Howard's teasing and continued, "Finally, look at this cloak. Its owner must be able to fly, otherwise this thing would be a burden. Oh God, this is..." Jarvis suddenly exclaimed in disbelief.

Howard was taken aback and asked, "What happened, Jarvis?"

Jarvis stared incredulously at the area beneath the uniform cape, exclaiming, "Damn it! How could they do this! They're a bunch of hellish beasts!"

At this point, Howard couldn't stand it any longer. He glanced at the melted adamantium, typed the model he wanted into the computer, and strode over to Jarvis, asking, "Hey, buddy! What happened?!"

Jarvis didn't speak, but pointed to the line of text he had found. Howard took a closer look and then frowned.

Clearly, this is a recording method used during the production of some product, which is also why Jarvis was angry. An ordinary person would certainly believe that Luther Corporation produced this uniform, but neither Jarvis nor Howard would think that the company produced this uniform. Therefore, it's obvious that the real product can only be that child!

That's right, Howard and Jarvis have now confirmed one thing: the child is a clone!

Howard frowned and said, "It seems this child is a clone, and the 2022 here is from the future. But even though he is a clone, my decision remains unchanged; he will still be my son."

Jarvis looked at the child with pity and asked, "It's a stroke of luck for this child to have met the master. Alas!"

Howard shook his head slightly and said, "Forget it, Jarvis, let's just forget about this in this lab. We'll figure out a way to erase all those words later!"

Jarvis nodded slightly and said, "I understand!"

This incident created a tense atmosphere in the entire laboratory, when a sudden alert startled the two silent men.

Howard sighed slightly and said, "Well, the blood-drawing needles are ready. Let's get started."

Jarvis was taken aback and said, "Master..."

Howard waved his hand and said, "I know what you mean, but we have to do it now because we don't know how much longer the child has to live, and we have to give him a thorough examination!"

Jarvis nodded and said, "I understand." He then quickly walked over and handed Howard the adamantium lancet.

Howard picked up the lancet and pricked the child's arm again. This time it was very easy. As expected of the world's strongest adamantium alloy, Howard quickly obtained the blood for testing and began the blood test.

Time flew by, and the blood test results came back quickly, but the results shocked Howard and Jarvis once again.

Jarvis said incredulously, "This...how is this possible?"

Howard looked at the child with affection and said, "Hehe, maybe God also disapproved of those people, so He not only sent this child to our world, but also gave him a normal body."

Indeed, the final test results showed that the child was a perfectly normal human being and did not possess the X gene, meaning he was not a mutant. This excited Howard. Although he wasn't afraid of mutants, if the child were a mutant, it would still cause some trouble.

Jarvis smiled and said, "It's truly a blessing from God! This child will be able to grow up happily."

Howard said, "Alright, let's start the other tests. Let's try to finish them today, and then you can start preparing for the child's legal status."

Jarvis replied, "Understood, my lord!"

The two then busied themselves checking the child's physical data and arrived at a welcome conclusion: the child had been exposed to unknown cosmic rays during his journey into this world. This not only eliminated all the diseases and congenital deficiencies of clones, but also made it possible for him to eventually grow up to be exactly like the original. Furthermore, due to the cosmic rays, he possessed unknown elements within his body. Under the protection of these unknown elements, the child's genetic data had acquired the ability to self-destruct, and all genetic data would be self-erased after leaving the original body.

In other words, this child can no longer be cloned.

Howard and Jarvis were both very happy. Howard immediately deleted all the experimental records and said, "Haha, this is the best news of the day! Jarvis, get out the champagne, let's celebrate!"

Jarvis chuckled, "Alright, sir, but let's name the child first!"

Howard glanced at the child and said, "Let's call him Adam, Adam Stark!"

Chapter Four: Time (Celebrating Collection 88)

PS: This is an extra chapter to celebrate 88 favorites. In the future, whenever there are special numbers in favorites, the bonus will be doubled. Hehe, I was born in 88, hahaha!

===============================================

The first thing Howard did after getting up the next day was to arrange for Jarvis to sort out little Adam's background.

After more than a week of planning, Jarvis finally came up with a plan. He first went to Hong Kong in a seemingly secretive manner, then began looking for a woman who had previously had intimate contact with Howard, and then seemingly secretly brought a baby from Hong Kong.

So, some media outlets that followed Howard finally had some gossip to share: Howard's illegitimate child. Suddenly, all sorts of bizarre news stories flooded in, leaving Howard somewhat embarrassed. Rumors circulated that several women with children were at the newspaper office recounting their love stories with Howard.

Stark Tower

Howard's partner, Obadiah Stanislav, pushed open the door to Howard's office, walked in, placed the newspaper on the table, and said angrily, "Howard, what's wrong with you? Look, ever since the news about your illegitimate child came out, the company's stock has dropped several points."

Howard chuckled, "Hehe, it's alright, this will be over soon, don't worry."

Obadiah said, "You're going to cause us serious losses. I think you should just stop acknowledging that bastard."

Howard frowned upon hearing this and said, "Stan! Listen, I said I would handle this, but that's my child. Don't let me hear you insult him again. Although I didn't know he existed before, he has already lost his mother, and I won't let him lose his father. He is my eldest son, Howard Stark, and he will inherit my company in the future!"

Obadiah was taken aback and said, "Oh no, you must be joking!"

Howard said calmly, "You know I never joke around in the company. Okay, you can go now. I'll handle this. Don't worry about the company stock!"

Obadiah was furious, but he couldn't refute Howard. He stood up and said, "I understand. I'll take my leave now!" and left the office.

After Obadiah left the office, Howard suddenly smiled wryly and said, "Jarvis, what can I say to you? Look at the method you came up with. Sigh, it's a good thing Maria understood me, otherwise I would have definitely made you pay!"

Just then, the phone rang.

"Sir, the matter is settled. The child has been registered as a member of the Stark family."

Howard said, "Got it, good job Jarvis. Also, it's time to put an end to this farce. Send a few lawyer's letters to the newspapers that are making the biggest fuss, and I think they'll shut up."

Jarvis said, "Understood, I'll take care of it right away."

Howard said, "Oh, and order me a bouquet of roses and a diamond ring. I need to apologize to Maria."

Jarvis laughed, "I'm happy to serve you, sir!"

Upon hearing Jarvis's laughter, Howard said dejectedly, "Alright, that's all, I'm hanging up!" and then hung up the phone.

And so, this man who fell from the sky had a new name and a new family. Maria Stark took pity on the child and adopted Adam as her own, thus acknowledging him.

Time flies, and 18 years have passed in the blink of an eye. Our protagonist, Little Adam, has grown into a promising 20-year-old.

Many things happened during those 18 years. For example, when Adam was 7 years old, he discovered that he was different from others and once thought he was a monster. He was afraid of his own power. Fortunately, Howard noticed this phenomenon and told Adam the story of Captain America. He told Adam that this was a power given by God and that he did not need to be afraid. He just needed to control these powers well.

Under Howard's meticulous care, he overcame his fear of his power and learned to conceal it. At the age of ten, he discovered another superpower—super strength. At fifteen, he activated yet another superpower—super speed, and used his power to protect Tony from being hit by a car. During a physiology class, young Adam discovered he also possessed a superpower—heat rays, which nearly set the entire classroom ablaze. At seventeen, due to the awakening of super hearing, he didn't get enough rest and the next day became a national treasure in China.

Well, that's about it. In general, although a lot has happened, Adam has been able to protect himself, so he has lived peacefully all these years without any coercion, kidnapping, or anything like that.

Today is a memorable day because 20-year-old Adam has finally graduated from Imperial State University. He entered the university at the age of 16 and, after four years of hard work, successfully completed all his courses and graduated. Today is the day when all the students put on their graduation gowns and threw their graduation caps up into the air.

In a villa on the Manhattan coast, Adam was awakened by a ringing phone. When he opened his eyes, a slender arm beside him handed him a cell phone.

He frowned, picked up the phone, and saw it was Tony calling: "Hey Tony, what's up so early?"

Tony's annoyed voice came through the phone: "Hey, buddy, you haven't forgotten what day it is? We're ready to go!"

Adam thought for a moment, then quickly said, "Oh, shit, today's graduation day. Okay, that's enough, I'm coming right now. We can just meet at school. Alright, I'm hanging up." He then hung up the phone.

"Hey, who's that so early in the morning?" The girl who had just handed him the phone leaned over and kissed him, asking.

Adam turned his head slightly, looking at the girl lying beside him. She was one of the girls he'd hung out with at yesterday's graduation party. He must have had too much fun yesterday and brought her here. You see, he never used to bring strangers to this villa. As for the girl's name? Oh God, forgive this playboy, he had absolutely no idea what her name was. Maybe it was Susan, maybe it was Mary? Who knows.

As he stood up, he said, "Listen, I have to go back to school for my graduation ceremony soon. Are you going back with me or by yourself?"

After hearing this, the girl stretched and said, "Oh, my love, you go ahead. I'm only a junior in college. I was too tired yesterday. You're so great. I'll wait for you to come back!"

Adam frowned and said coldly, "Listen, girl, I don't want to see you again when I come back. Of course, if you want, we can arrange another time and place!" After saying that, he walked into the bathroom without looking back.

As soon as Adam entered the bathroom, he heard the girl say something that started with an F and then storm off. He whistled, quickly cleaned himself up, and came out wearing a black suit. Looking at the tall, handsome man in the mirror with black, tousled hair, blue eyes, and a charming smile, he nodded in satisfaction. He then took out his car keys with a T-shaped pendant from the drawer and left the room.

Adam stepped out of the room and asked, "Athena, has that girl left?"

A clear, ethereal voice came over: "I just left the villa. Hehe, Master, you have no gentlemanly manners at all."

Athena is an artificial intelligence program personally designed by Adam, and can be considered the butler of this villa.

Adam shrugged and said, "So what if I'm being rude? I was drunk yesterday, that's why I brought her here. If she discovers the secret here, that would be terrible. By the way, remind me next time that if you see me bringing anyone back while I'm hungover, give me a shock."

This villa holds some secrets that only he knows, secrets that even Howard and Tony don't know. This incident served as a reminder that although he has superpowers, he had too much fun yesterday and didn't resist the effects of alcohol. It seems he needs to be more careful next time.

Athena replied, "Understood, Master. I'll give you a hint! Hehe."

After hearing this, Adam said, "Okay, I should go now. I'll restore level one alert after I leave!" He then left the living room, went to the garage, and drove away from the villa in a sapphire blue Ferrari Enzo.

Chapter Five Graduation Ceremony

PS: From now on, updates will be at 22 PM. Also, I've changed a lot of things; the protagonist's strength won't be too great in the short term, he'll grow slowly, so please refer to the plot of this book for the most accurate depiction! Thank you for your support.

========

Adam has a secret he hasn't told Howard and Tony: he has a mysterious memory in his head that flashes up whenever he encounters difficulties and helps him overcome them. Most of the memories are about technology, and some are about how to use his powers.

Adam didn't know why these memories existed in his brain, and under normal circumstances, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't recall them. So after trying for a while, he gave up searching and decided to use another method to retrieve these memories: participating in scientific research. This way, whenever he encountered a bottleneck and couldn't solve the problem, those memories would flash back, giving him various inspirations and scientific techniques.

This villa happened to be where Adam conducted his scientific research. Adam had dug out a very spacious, low-lying building underground, and then, using the technologies that kept flashing through his mind, he finally transformed it into a laboratory specifically for researching advanced technology. That's why he was so ruthless to that girl. Otherwise, given Howard's upbringing, he might have invited her to a romantic candlelight dinner or something similar, and then maintained a casual sex relationship with her until she left on her own.

Well, Adam is a complete playboy. If it weren't for Howard's excellent upbringing and the positive memories constantly flashing through his mind, I think he would definitely be indulging in this kind of life and eventually degenerate to the point of using force to get everything he wants. Fortunately, there are no "what ifs" in the real world. Although Adam is a notorious playboy in New York, this makes Adam Stark, who has a series of titles such as the most outstanding inventor of this century, philanthropist, and best-selling author, seem more real.

Alright, getting back to the main topic, Adam drove away from the villa and arrived at Imperial State University as quickly as possible. It was graduation day, so there were quite a few people there, mostly relatives of the students—after all, it was a kind of honor, wasn't it?

Adam parked the car and took out his phone to call Tony.
