Superman Marvel Adventures

Adam blew the air conditioner for about ten minutes, then knelt down on the ground with a thud. He was almost exhausted. Looking around, he saw that most of the area was still not frozen. Adam took a few deep breaths and stood up again.

In fact, Adam could have simply sealed the crack in the dam and left it alone. That way, the dam could have held up until the X-Men and the others came out, and no one would have known that Adam was there. At most, it would have just created some trouble for the mutants!

However, Adam did not do that, because the dam was related to the drinking water problem of many households in Canada, and his moral principles would not allow him to just abandon it. Therefore, although Adam was already feeling unwell, he still forced himself to continue to complete his work.

Athena looked at Adam, who was still busy, and said with concern, "Master, you should rest for a while. Besides, I remember that the Ice Man in the plane is also very powerful. You can call him over and come with him!"

Adam paused after hearing this, then said, "Well, you should hurry and inform the Iceman. I'll continue here, otherwise the newly formed ice wall won't be able to withstand the pressure of the lake water and will break again."

Athena's original intention was simply to get Adam away from the dam. She didn't want her master to be overworked. Whether the dam was destroyed or not was irrelevant to Athena; her only concern was Adam. This isn't to say Athena is heartless, because she's just an artificial intelligence program.

But now that Adam has said so, Athena has no choice but to do it, so she said somewhat helplessly, "Alright, I'll inform him now. By the way, Master, why don't you sunbathe first? I've discovered that the sun can accelerate your body's recovery!"

This is a secret about Adam's body that Athena just discovered. After all, Adam has never been this tired before. Even during the last battle with the magician, he only had a headache from overusing his brain. Unlike now, Adam's physical strength is almost exhausted.

Adam was overjoyed upon hearing this and said, "Hehe, I never knew my body had such a secret. If I could find a way to get inside the sun, wouldn't that make me invincible?"

While sending a message to the Ice Man, Athena said, "Hehe, Master, you're dreaming. If that's the case, let alone whether your body can withstand the sun's high temperature, even if you can, you will fall asleep due to excess energy, just like when you came into contact with the Cosmic Cube before. However, whether you will sleep for hundreds or thousands of years this time, no one can say for sure."

While talking to Athena, Adam's strength recovered considerably, and he felt that his abilities seemed to be slightly stronger than before. Adam was taken aback and said, "It seems that recovering after overdrawing my strength will make my abilities stronger."

Upon hearing this, Athena quickly advised, "Master, you mustn't have such thoughts, because we don't know if it will harm your body!"

Adam laughed after hearing this, "Alright, don't worry, I won't joke with my life!" He then took a few deep breaths and exhaled cold air again to continue freezing the waters near the dam.

In this way, Adam would blow on the air conditioning for a while, then rest for a period of time, and then start blowing on the air conditioning again. In less than ten minutes, Adam had blown out an ice wall about 5 centimeters thick near the dam, which greatly reduced the pressure on the dam.

Just then, the Ice Man's voice came from below the dam.

"Mr. Xia Ying, I've come as you instructed!"

Adam breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, then quickly ran down to Iceman Bobby and said, "You've come at the right time. I've already frozen the area a few centimeters around the dam. If you put in a little more effort to thicken the ice wall, the dam should be able to withstand the Canadian government's repairs."

Iceman Bobby was shocked when he heard Adam's words. The dam was one or two hundred meters deep and more than a thousand meters long. It was incredible that Adam had blown an ice wall several centimeters deep into such a long and deep body of water!

Of course, Iceman believes he can achieve Adam's strength in a few years, but he can't do it alone right now. Fortunately, Adam has already set up the framework, so Iceman only needs to use his abilities to increase the thickness of the ice wall.

Iceman Bobby nodded and said, "Okay, please take me up there. It will be a bit difficult, but I think I can do it!"

Adam replied, “Alright! Let’s not delay, I’ll take you there right away!” With that, he led the Iceman Bobby to the top of the dam.

Bobby took a deep breath, then placed his hand on the ice wall Adam had blown up, closed his eyes, and used his ability. Bobby truly lived up to his potential as a high-level mutant, even though it wasn't fully developed yet. His ability was to directly lower temperatures, even freezing flames into ice flowers. Therefore, after more than ten minutes of effort, although he was exhausted, the ice wall Adam had created had been thickened to twenty centimeters, enough to hold until the Canadian government came to repair the dam.

Adam looked at Bobby, who had collapsed on the ground panting, and laughed, "You're really amazing! No wonder you're called the Iceman!"

Bobby smiled and said, "I'm glad I could help you, Mr. Shadow. Many people at our school like you."

Adam laughed and said, "You're not just helping me, you're also helping many, many residents of Alberta. Because of your help, this dam can hold out until the government rebuilds it. You're a superhero now!"

Upon hearing this, Bobby exclaimed with delight, "Really?!" As a child who had just been hurt by his family's indifference, Bobby needed the approval of others.

Adam nodded and said, "That's right, you are a superhero!"

Just then, Adam heard the helicopter start. Looking back with some confusion, he saw Magneto, Mystique, and Pyro inside. He frowned, thinking, "Something's definitely happened."

The helicopter slowly ascended, and Bobby, who had regained some of his mobility, saw Pyro inside. He exclaimed in surprise, "Pyro?! How come he's with Magneto?"

After hearing this, Adam patted Bobby on the shoulder and said, "His ideals are different from yours. I saw him chatting with Magneto yesterday, so I guessed this would happen. Well, since Magneto has already left but the others haven't come out yet, something must have happened. I'll send you back to the ground first. Wait outside while I go in and take a look."

After hearing this, Bobby said, "Okay, don't worry about me. Go and see how the professors are doing."

Adam nodded after hearing this, then led the Iceman to the bottom of the dam and went into the base alone.

Adam, using his malfunctioning X-ray vision, finally found Logan and the others.

Adam looked at Professor X, who was being helped up by Kurt, and said, "Hey, are you guys alright?"

Logan shook his head and said, "We're fine. Let's go quickly. The dam won't hold for much longer."

Adam laughed and said, "It's alright. The dam is blocked by the 20-centimeter-thick ice wall that Iceman and I built together, so there won't be any problems for the time being. But I just saw Magneto and Mystique leave with Pyro. Are you guys alright?"

Phoenix exclaimed in surprise, "Pyro and Magneto are gone? How could this be?"

Professor X said weakly, "It's alright, that child. I know he's different from you, and he won't be in any danger with Eric. Let him be. Our main task now is to get back to Washington as soon as possible!"

After hearing this, Adam asked, "What happened?"

Storm explained, "Magneto just changed the design of the brainwave enhancement machine, which almost allowed Professor X to kill all of humanity. Didn't you feel it?"

Adam shook his head and said, "No."

After hearing this, Phoenix asked, "What about before? Did you not feel anything at all?"

Adam said, "No, I've been building ice walls over the dam and haven't felt any discomfort. What happened? Could it be related to Magneto changing the structure of the brainwave enhancement machine?"

Chapter 56 Norman Osborn

PS: First update, one more chapter coming soon!

Howard Stark organized a charity gala for today's unexpected events, intending to use all the money earned tonight to help the families of those who died and the injured. Therefore, Adam arrived at the Hotel Mester in a black casual suit to pick up Christine, who was also attending the gala.

Adam went into Christine's room and waited for a while. Christine finally came out after finishing her makeup. The evening gown Athena had chosen was a black long-sleeved, rather solemn evening gown, which looked exceptionally beautiful on the tall Christine.

When Christine saw Adam, she smiled and said, "Ah, Adam, you've come. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

Adam went over and kissed Christine, saying, "You look beautiful today, darling."

Christine laughed and said, "Okay, I finally got my makeup done, don't ruin it."

Adam shrugged and said, "Alright, I'll deal with you tonight. Now, beautiful lady, let's go." He then stretched out his arm.

Christine blushed slightly and said reproachfully, "You're so annoying!" Then she took Adam's arm affectionately and walked out of the room with him.

The area in front of the Hilton Hotel was already bustling with activity. Upon hearing the news that Howard Stark was preparing to hold a charity gala, reporters flocked to the hotel entrance and conscientiously formed two rows to photograph the VIPs entering.

Just then, a deep engine sound came from the car, and soon all the reporters saw an ADAM07 Ferrari sports car parked in front of the hotel.

Upon seeing Adam, a female reporter from the New York Daily News exclaimed, "Hey, look, it's Adam Stark! Oh my god, and sitting next to him is Christine!!! Could it be that they got together because of that?"

The reporter standing next to her, whose name tag read "Daily Bugle," scoffed upon hearing his colleague's words, saying, "Hey, young lady, don't you know Adam Stark is a notorious playboy in New York? Who knows what their relationship is? Maybe it's just a fling. Humph, these days, celebrities will spread their legs as long as they have money. They're so shameless."

Adam, who was about to walk into the hotel with Christine, happened to hear this. Who told him to have such sharp ears? He glanced at the Daily Bugle reporter with some displeasure, gently kissed Christine's lips, gave the reporter the middle finger, and then led a shy Christine into the hotel.

The female reporter from the New York Daily chuckled after seeing it and said, "Oh, that's a really cool move. It seems Adam heard what you said."

The reporter from the Daily Bugle sneered inwardly, saying, "Is that so? You dare to provoke me? I'll see if you're still so arrogant tomorrow." With that, he turned and left.

Inside, Adam had just told her why he did what he did. After listening, Christine looked at Adam with some amusement and said, "You're really too impulsive. Offending reporters doesn't do you any good!"

Adam simply chuckled and remained silent in response to Christine's words. This was all a protective facade; before his true identity was revealed, these negative reports would serve as a chasm between Adam and Beacon of Fame. No one would imagine that the righteous superhero Beacon of Fame was actually a stingy playboy and rich kid.

Adam and Christine walked into the party together, causing quite a stir. After all, although Adam was a famous playboy, he was also a well-known genius, especially in high society. He and Tony were often mentioned as "other people's children"!

Adam smiled slightly, bowed to some people he knew, and then returned the bows to the strangers who had bowed to him. He then led Christine to Howard Stark and Maria.

When Maria saw her son arrive, she said, "Hey, Adam, you're here. This must be Christine. You're beautiful, son."

Adam put his arm around Christine's waist and said, "That's right, she's my girlfriend, Christine."

Christine bowed slightly and said, "Hello, Mrs. Stark, Mr. Stark."

Howard Stark nodded slightly and said, "Hmm, not bad. Adam, since you've brought Christine with you, then go over there. Your brother is there too. You young people should have your own activities to do, so you don't need to come with us."

Adam nodded after hearing this. He put his arm around Christine and could clearly feel her nervousness. He said, "Okay, then let's go." After saying that, he led Christine away from there.

After they had walked some distance, Christine sighed and said, "I was so nervous."

Adam chuckled and said, "Heh, this doesn't seem like the Christine I met for the first time."

Upon hearing this, Christine recalled her encounter with Adam at the bar, blushing and retorting, "That time I thought you were going to... take advantage of me!"

Adam smiled after hearing this and said, "Unfortunately, you still couldn't escape my grasp. You are still under my unspoken rules."

Christine hummed, "Yeah, I don't know how I got attracted to you, I can't leave you now."

As they walked towards Tony, joking and bantering, Adam spotted an acquaintance talking to someone—Obadestan. Beside him was Norman Osborn, the legendary founder of the recently risen Osborn Corporation.

Just as Adam was about to walk around them, Obadiah had already spotted him and was walking towards him with Norman Osborn. Adam cursed his bad luck inwardly, then walked up to Obadiah with a slight smile.

Adam said, "Good evening, Uncle Obadiah, Mr. Osborn."

Obadiah laughed, "Oh, Adam, you're here too. Hehe, and who is this?"

Adam said casually, "The female lead in my company's new film."

Obadiah smiled slightly, revealing a smile that all men understand. Adam wanted nothing more than to kick him in the face. Christine, though unaware of Adam's introduction, had already met his parents earlier, when he introduced her as his girlfriend, so she stood quietly beside him without saying a word.

At this moment, Norman Osborn smiled and extended his hand, saying, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Stark!"

Adam laughed and said, “Me too. Mr. Osborne, you can just call me Adam. I’ve read several of your books, and they’re all excellent.”

Norman Osborn said, "Hehe, Adam, I actually know about you. We all envy Mr. Howard for having sons like you."

Adam replied modestly, "Hehe, you flatter me, Mr. Osborn."

At this moment, Obadiah said to Adam, "Oh, Adam, you know Mr. Osborne is a biological researcher. He wants to buy some information about the super serum from your father. Why don't you talk to your father about it? He hasn't agreed to it yet."

Upon hearing this, Adam understood why Norman Osborn and Obadiah were waiting for him there. He smiled apologetically and said, "You're late, Mr. Osborn. All the data on the super serum has been taken away by a military research organization."

Obadiah was taken aback and said, "When did this happen? I didn't know?"

Adam shrugged and said, "I don't know when it happened, but it's from my father, and I don't think he would lie to me."

Norman Osborn sighed upon hearing this, saying, "Oh, I see. Ah, I was hoping to use that information to refine some of my ideas."

Adam harbored no animosity towards this person, so he reminded him, "Actually, although the military took away the data, I think no company in the field of biotechnology can compare to Osborn Corporation. Perhaps Mr. Osborn can start from here. If he can reach an agreement with the military, he might not even have to pay for the research. In that case, you can also study the serum to refine your ideas."

Norman Osborn's eyes lit up when he heard Adam's words, and he said, "That's right, haha, thank you for your suggestion, Adam. In terms of biotechnology, our Osborn Enterprises can say without hesitation that we are the best."

He was quite confident in his company's research capabilities, so he was genuinely interested in Adam's proposal and felt grateful to Adam. After all, if Adam hadn't reminded him, his plan might never have succeeded, but now at least there was a glimmer of hope, wasn't there?

Chapter 57 The Hilton Sisters

PS: "Second update. As usual, all kinds of requests, hehe."

Adam, upon hearing Norman Osborn's words, laughed and said, "Hehe, that's my honor, Mr. Osborn," and then shook hands with Norman Osborn.
