Superman Marvel Adventures

After he shared his idea, the editor-in-chief, James, hesitated for a moment, but since it was ultimately his own business and Adam was the newspaper's largest shareholder, he had no choice but to agree to plan the project. Of course, he planned to conduct a test, allowing the audience to choose between the two names: Superman or Star Trek.

Adam nodded in agreement to James's idea.

After seeing this, James hesitated for a moment and said, "Mr. Stark, I actually have another idea. I wonder if I can share it?"

Adam nodded and said, "Oh? You have a new idea? Tell me about it."

James said with a hint of excitement, "What I'm thinking is, could we do an exclusive interview with you, Mr. Adam? I think a lot of people would like to hear about you."

After listening, Adam thought for a moment and said, "Okay, let's do this together with the name change. I think if I say that the name Superman sounds good, more people will definitely choose it. Hmm, let's arrange it like this!"

Ps:

I was originally planning to update four chapters, but I have to work overtime again today. However, I've already made up for yesterday's chapter, so that's all for now. Well, thank you all for your support. I've been working overtime like crazy lately!

Chapter 112 Return to X Academy

When Adam left the Daily Bugle, he had already discussed it with James and agreed to be interviewed by the Daily Bugle about his other identity, The Shadow. Oh, right, from now on, he won't be called that anymore, but another, more resounding name—Superman.

Adam scheduled the interview for next Friday, giving James a chance to do some promotion. Of course, many people now know that the Daily Bugle is Adam's private property, and some people will definitely feel that this is a bit like self-promotion. But for Adam, such suspicions are completely irrelevant, because he has money and can do whatever he wants!

Adam left the Daily Bugle and suddenly realized he had nowhere to go. He didn't want to go to the company today, Tony was studying management at Stark Industries and had no time for it, Christine was in Greece receiving training from the Sun God and his wife, and as for his other friends, he hadn't been in contact with them for a long time since he started dating Christine.

Adam parked his car in a parking lot near a park, sat down in the park eating his ice cream, and watched the children playing in the distance with great boredom. The children's innocent smiles lessened his depression and irritability, and he couldn't help but smile.

"Children's innocence can easily bring people a sense of ease, can't it?"

Just then, an elderly man with gray hair, who had somehow appeared to be sitting next to him, said with a smile.

Adam wore sunglasses to avoid being recognized. He smiled slightly as he watched the old man beside him speak and said, "Yes, no matter what troubles I encounter, seeing these children makes them disappear and makes me feel much more relaxed. Hehe."

The old man didn't seem to mind that Adam hadn't taken off his sunglasses. While it might be a little impolite, he figured Adam probably had his reasons. So he smiled and said, "Hehe. Troubles always pass. I like coming to this park because there are so many children around here. Every day is full of joy, reminding me of when my own children were little. Hehe, those were such lively times!" He seemed to sense something was on Adam's mind, so he began to tell him some of his own stories.

Adam wasn't offended by this; instead, he listened quietly to the old man's story. The story wasn't particularly complicated; it was quite ordinary. However, Adam listened with great interest.

He originally thought that his awakening of memories would be beneficial to him, but he underestimated the changes brought about by the collision of memories from two worlds. This is why he suddenly went to the Daily Bugle to change his name, and why he suddenly felt somewhat out of place and didn't know where to go after leaving the Daily Bugle. All of these are consequences of the collision of two memories.

However, after listening to the old man's story, Adam recovered. Although the story was simple, it contained some philosophical insights, which made Adam instantly understand some truths.

After the old man finished telling his story, Adam took off his sunglasses and thanked him, saying, "Thank you for telling me this story, sir. I have learned a great deal from it."

The old man paused slightly upon seeing Adam's face, then said, "You're Mr. Adam Stark? Haha, I never expected to meet you here. No need for thanks. Haha, perhaps this is karma. You saved my life a few days ago, and I never imagined my story would be of use to you today. Haha."

Adam was taken aback and said, "Oh? Was the old man also on the train that day?"

The old man nodded and said, "Yes, haha, if it weren't for you, an old man like me might have died in that car accident. Thank you for saving my life."

Adam waved his hand and said, "No need, sir. My father told me that a person can only bear more responsibility than he is capable of. I am just doing what my father said."

The old man smiled slightly after hearing this and said, "This is already very rare. I hope you can always maintain this mindset, and perhaps you will grow into a true hero."

Just then, Adam's phone rang. He answered it and saw it was Logan. Adam said goodbye to the old man and then answered the phone while walking toward his car.

"Hey Adam, long time no see. What are you up to?" Wolverine's voice was as rugged as ever.

Adam laughed and said, "Ah, nothing much, just wandering around."

Logan asked, "By the way, we went with the professor a few days ago to look for Magneto, but we didn't find any clues. We just got back to school and heard that Christine has disappeared. What happened?"

Adam was taken aback for a moment, then said gratefully, "Hehe, it's a misunderstanding. Christine is with her parents. She's not missing. Because Christine's parents have some special status, they used some special methods to take Christine away, which is why there was news about Christine's disappearance."

Logan asked with concern, "Is Christine really alright? And are Christine's parents mutants?" When he heard that Christine's parents had some unusual identities, the first thing that came to his mind was that they were mutants, which is why he asked such a question.

Adam shook his head and said, "Hehe, don't worry, Christine is really fine, but her parents aren't mutants."

Logan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good. I thought something really had happened. Hehe, by the way, since you're free today, why don't you come to school and hang out for a few days? We haven't seen each other in ages."

Adam was somewhat tempted after hearing this, and said, "Alright, I don't have anything to do today anyway, I'll come find you for a drink!" After saying that, he drove his car to the nearest parking lot. He didn't want to go back home. As for Frank Cassel and Jack, they had already left in the morning to prepare for their revenge.

Logan laughed and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you at school. By the way, you'd better bring some good wine. There's only beer here, and not much at all. I guess the professor is afraid the kids in school will steal some."

Adam smiled slightly after hearing this and said, "Alright, since you've put it that way, I'll bring some good wine with me when I go."

Logan replied, "Okay, then, see you there!" and hung up the phone.

Adam had found a parking lot, parked his car there, and took off into the sky. To fulfill his promise to Logan, Adam traveled to many countries famous for their fine wines, bringing back a large quantity of wines and local specialties, and appeared above Xavier's School with all this on his back.

Logan had also informed the X Academy members that Adam would be coming to the academy today, so the academy's energy shield had already been activated. Adam arrived in front of the office building with these specialties, staring in disbelief at the group around him.

"Hey, what's wrong with you guys? Why do you look like you've seen a ghost?" Adam noticed their expressions as soon as he landed and asked, somewhat speechless.

Logan was the first to recover. Looking at the two- or three-meter-high bag behind Adam, he asked, "Adam, which mall did you buy this from?"

After hearing this, Adam said, "Oh, you mean this? Didn't you say you haven't been to the academy for a long time? Well, I've already gone to all the countries in the world that produce famous wines and brought some back. Of course, there are also some local specialties. I'm starting to regret not traveling to Asia before. There are so many delicious things I haven't tried, and they taste completely different from the snack shops in America."

Jean Grey looked at Adam, who had completely changed, and said, "Adam, I feel like you've changed so much!" There was something else she didn't say: the current Adam was a fatal attraction for women.

Adam was taken aback and said, "Oh, has it changed a lot?"

Logan nodded and said, "Yes, it is indeed very big. Although you used to have this smiling face, I could always feel a kind of repression in you that was hard to express, but now it seems to be completely gone."

Adam smiled and said, "You mean this? Hehe, I've been looking for the answer to a question, and I recently found it. Also, I learned something from an old man's story today, which made me feel much more relaxed."

Logan lit a cigar and said, "Anyway, Adam is completely different now, and he's become more real. Heh, that's a good thing, something to celebrate."

Storm nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, but before that, let's punish Adam properly first. He hid his identity for so long, and Logan! He even helped Adam cover us up, hmph."

P.S.: Thank you everyone for your support. If you can, please leave your valuable comments in the comment section, otherwise it's so quiet.

Chapter 113 Attending the Party

Everyone agreed to Ororo's suggestion. Adam took a slight step back and said, "What do you want? I'm very powerful. If we fight, you're no match for me. Don't come any closer!"

Ororo sneered, "Heh, we're not as stupid as you think. Trying to fight you with force would be suicide. But you can't escape your punishment tonight."

Maxim laughed and 'threatened', "Yeah, if you don't have a few more drinks tonight, we'll get angry. There are so many of us, we might not be able to beat you, but we can get all the students to pester you, hmph."

Adam pretended to be relieved after hearing this and said, "Phew, I thought it was some kind of punishment. It's just drinking. Hmph, we can have a contest. With Uncle Wolf here, we're not afraid."

Logan smiled slightly after hearing this and said, "In order to teach peacefully in this academy, I have decided to give you up, Adam. This time, you have to bear the punishment alone, since you asked me to keep it a secret."

Everyone burst into laughter, while Adam said dejectedly, "You win! Humph, Uncle Wolf, you've gone bad too. You used to be a hero who would stab himself six times for his brothers."

Amidst the laughter and chatter, Adam and the others headed towards the teachers' dormitory building. As for the food and fine wine Adam brought, they had already been taken to the kitchen by Blue Devil Kurt for use at the party that evening.

The dormitory building of Xavier's School is a European-style castle. Perhaps Professor X really likes castles like this, or perhaps there is some secret hidden in this castle. But that has nothing to do with Adam. He is only here to eat and drink with his former comrades-in-arms.

In the castle's grand drawing room, Adam encountered Professor X in a wheelchair and Cyclops beside him. They didn't come to meet him, not because they were arrogant, but simply because Professor X was an elderly man, and Adam couldn't possibly allow him to do so. As for Cyclops, who knows what he was thinking? Although the two were considered comrades, and Cyclops was very obedient in his actions, he couldn't hide his hostility towards Adam. The source of all this was the beautiful woman standing beside Adam—Jean Grey.

Of course, some might ask, didn't Professor X personally pick you up the first time you arrived? Yes, Professor X did greet Adam with the X-Men the first time he came, but they had just started working together and were complete strangers. This time, Adam is attending a private party, so it's impossible for him to have Professor X, as an elder, pick him up.

Professor X looked at Adam and smiled, "You look quite well, Adam, hehe." He also sensed a different kind of aura about Adam than before, a more perfect and sunny aura.

Adam smiled and said, "Yes. After thinking things through, I've found my purpose in life. You could say I've said goodbye to the past and am about to face a new life."

Everyone assumed this was a metaphor for Adam. But only Adam himself knew that he was no longer troubled by his identity, no longer troubled by why he wanted to be a superhero, no longer troubled by why he had flashback memories, no longer troubled by why he was Adam Stark and not Clark Kent, and no longer troubled by whether his lover was Christine, Lois Lane, or Diana.

Earlier, in the park, all the distracting thoughts and grudges in his mind vanished because of an ordinary old man and a simple story. He learned how to live from the old man's story, learned many principles, and understood many things. When he took off his sunglasses and thanked the old man sincerely, Adam knew that he was about to usher in a new life!

Professor X seemed to sense Adam's feelings and said with a smile, "Hehe, in that case, congratulations, Mr. Adam."

After hearing this, Adam said, "Thank you, Professor. I'm here for the party today. I hope I haven't bothered you."

Professor X chuckled, "Hehe, of course it won't bother us. You young people have fun. This old man won't bother you. Hehe, by the way, Scott, it seems you're in charge of the children's safety today, so you can only have one drink." He knew that Cyclops was somewhat reluctant to attend Adam and the others' gathering, so he simply made up an excuse to have Cyclops take care of the children, thus reducing some unnecessary trouble and disputes.

Cyclops nodded slightly and said, "Okay, I understand. I will take good care of the children."

Although Adam sensed Cyclops's hostility towards him, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Cyclops wouldn't be attending the party. He didn't feign regret or say anything like that. Of course, he would have said that in the past, but he had decided to live life on his own terms, so he wouldn't say anything that disgusted him.

And so, Professor X and Cyclops left the living room to check on the children, while Jean Grey, for some reason, did not go out with Cyclops, but instead calmly watched everyone.

Adam quietly asked Logan, "Hey Logan, what's going on with them? Weren't they inseparable before?"

Logan shrugged and said, "What else could it be? They broke up."

Adam was somewhat surprised and said, "What? You broke up? How could that be? It's not because of you, is it?"

Logan shook his head and said, "Don't talk nonsense. I don't know the reason either, but everyone knows about it now. We tried to persuade them, but you know that guy's temper, so in the end, their negotiations broke down."

Upon hearing this, Adam suddenly felt a strange sensation, a mixture of schadenfreude and secret delight. However, he himself was somewhat unsure of what exactly he was delighted about.

Seeing the two men whispering to each other, Jean Grey walked over and asked, "What's going on with you two men? You're whispering like little girls."

Adam shrugged and said, "It's all because of that shameless old man, Uncle Wolf. He asked me about the cover girl in that Playboy book. Sigh, how could someone as innocent as me know such things?"

Upon hearing this, Jean Grey inexplicably recalled Adam stealing a kiss from her on their first meeting. She gave Adam a charming glance and said, "Heh, you think you're pure? Does your title as New York City's biggest playboy come from your purity? Humph, who was that guy who stole a kiss from me back then?" She spoke the last sentence very softly, so that only Adam could hear it.

Adam chuckled dryly and said, "Heh, yeah, I didn't know either. Oh dear, these guys have started stealing all the local specialties I brought with such difficulty. Let's go eat, or they'll eat all the good stuff." With that, he hurriedly said goodbye to Logan and ran away.

Upon seeing this, Jean Grey smiled slightly and said, "Hehe, you can't escape my grasp." As she spoke, a flame flashed in Jean Grey's eyes, but unfortunately, no one noticed it.

Adam, who was using his speed to snatch a chicken leg from Maxim, suddenly felt a chill down his spine. He glanced around in confusion before rejoining the fray. Jean Grey joined in with a smile, and everyone began using their strength to play this seemingly childish game.

Finally, in the first round of the food-grabbing game, Adam, who was the fastest, won. However, everyone was dissatisfied and clamored for Adam to drink the punishment drink that had just been agreed upon.

Qin Ge Lei smiled slightly, used her telekinesis to retrieve a bottle of liquor with the three Chinese characters "Wuliangye" written on it, and said, "Hehe, here, this is your punishment for hiding your identity all this time! I've heard that Chinese liquor tastes very good. See, I'm very good to you."

Adam was speechless upon seeing the bottle of wine. He said, "Yeah, you're really too good to me. You know perfectly well that Chinese liquor is strong, yet you still insist on making me drink this kind of wine? Are you trying to embarrass me?"

Maxim laughed and said, "I think this wine is good. We all know you have a lot of abilities, so we can't let you only have a few drinks. In my opinion, you should drink a whole bottle."

Adam shook his head repeatedly after hearing this, saying, "You might as well let me fight Magneto. This is asking too much of a question."

Margulies said calmly, "Adam, it's not allowed to bully the elderly."

Finishing blow successful!

Adam was immediately annoyed and said, "Fine, let's drink then. Hmph, Ororo, don't laugh so happily. Hmph, you should worry about yourselves. I can go crazy when I'm drunk!" After saying that, he picked up a bottle of wine and drank it all in one gulp.

Ps:

Aww, I need your votes!!!

Tickets of all kinds. I'm begging for them!

Chapter 114 The Black Phoenix's Counterattack

Everyone had a great time that night, and Adam, not worried about anyone harming him at Xavier's School, drank to his heart's content, eventually getting quite drunk himself. If even the strongest man like Adam was drunk, the others were even more so—oh, right, Logan, who could drink to excess, was an exception. And so, the party ended.
