Superman

"Am I a superman?"

Clark took over the uniform with both hands, like an athlete holding a heavy championship trophy, with excitement on his face.

He was like a child who was praised by the teacher. He was happy but also a little overwhelmed.

For Clark, this is not just a uniform that can be worn, but also represents recognition and honor.

Superman!

Isn't this exactly what my adoptive father Jonathan said, a symbol of some kind?

"Do you think I have time to fly around and deal with endless criminal incidents?"

Luke shrugged and returned to the dark red cloak and metal suit.

His guest appearance as Superman was originally intended to divert public attention, provide an internship job for his young cousin, and promote the early formation of the Justice League.

The Walter company under his own name will also continue to follow up and prepare for subsequent publicity, packaging and operations.

Strive to make Superman the most popular IP in the world.

Now is just the first step, there is still a long way to go.

I believe that a two-and-a-half-year internship will be enough for Clark to complete his studies, leave the novice village of the small town, and enter a wider world.

"I thought everyone wanted to be a hero..."

The little cousin was surprised.

Judging from Luke's tone, the eldest cousin seemed to have no nostalgia for Superman's identity.

This is the hottest darling in the media recently.

Even though Clark has no interest in pursuing fame and fortune, the thought of becoming a superhero praised and praised by everyone still makes his heart a little excited.

"Little cousin, let me tell you something. The bigger the chest, the greater the responsibility... Oh no, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility."

Luke spoke earnestly and began to impart life lessons.

"When you receive attention, it also means you have to shoulder expectations, responsibilities and unrealistic fantasies."

"The public will regard you as a moral model and a perfect person, so any flaws or mistakes will cause you to be scolded and malicious..."

"Like I said, it's a thorny road."

Clark nodded vigorously, without any intention of retreating in his eyes.

"But no matter what, you will be a member of the Superman family from now on."

Luke patted his little cousin on the shoulder, wondering when the other Kryptonian cousin would come over.

Supergirl Kara-Zor-El was originally Superman's cousin, but because she came to Earth much later than Clark, she automatically became a cousin.

"I'll do it right!"

Clark put on the Superman uniform and felt full of power in his body.

Facing his little cousin's uncontrollable excitement and excitement, Luke just smiled.

Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, superheroes have unlimited glory.

Wherever he goes, he is sought after, as if he is the most dazzling star.

But in fact, it is not as beautiful as imagined.

Not to mention that it is completely powered by love, and there are no five insurances, one housing fund, wages and benefits and other living guarantees.

I am also responsible for reimbursing uniforms and equipment, which consumes a lot of money.

If you live in a city with a high crime rate like Gotham, it means you have to work overtime every day, and you have to rush to the scene as soon as possible when an emergency occurs.

Forget about the 996 blessings, put it on superheroes.

It can be said that it is open all year round and there are no holidays.

Even if he is having sex with his girlfriend, he has to quickly draw his gun, put on his uniform and rush to the front line.

Luke clearly remembered that his little cousin was like this several times.

I was kissing and touching my girlfriend Louise Lane, and I was about to accidentally go off.

Then there was a shooting somewhere in Metropolis, and he could only say regretfully that he would fight another day, and then turned and left.

My girlfriend was left alone to guard the empty room, neither getting up nor getting out.

Superman and Lois Lane, this famous model couple, often have emotional crises, and it is not without reason.

All in all, the profession of a superhero has no appeal to Luke.

He would rather be a neutral person jumping left and right than a firefighter.

"From now on, the metropolis and this town will be your jurisdiction. In addition to daily special training, you must also check in on time and start duty."

Luke put away his distracting thoughts and handed over the work tasks to his little cousin.

Starting today, Superman will make his official debut.

It is estimated that it will not be long before the fame will spread all over the world.

I wonder if Batman at this time has learned from the ninja master and returned?

"So, is there anything you should pay attention to when being a superhero?"

Clark was a little nervous, feeling like an intern on his first day at work.

"Well, for you, reducing battle losses is the most noteworthy thing."

Luke pondered for a moment before holding back these words.

He didn't want his little cousin to become a demolition team, which would affect the public's good impression of Superman.

Fortunately, the criminals in Metropolis are still in a relatively simple stage for the time being.

Gang leaders, smugglers, street gangsters, gun-toting gangsters... these kinds of things can't cause much damage.

"In addition, you must learn to fly before you officially take up the job."

After these days of training, Clark is much better than before in terms of power control.

It's time to consider using your body to defy gravity and soar into the sky.

And as the eldest cousin, Luke also teaches some special methods of time management.

Otherwise, Clark goes to school during the day for special training.

Work at night and clock in.

Without adequate rest time, it is likely to affect the growth and development of the little cousin.

In the days that followed, Clark lived an extremely fulfilling life.

He participates in football team training at school every day, deals with Lana and her boyfriend, and performs scenes of a bloody teenage love story.

In the evening, he would fly from Kansas to the Metropolis to handle several cases, which would dominate the headlines of the Astrology Daily for a long time.

To paraphrase Batman Future, even if Superman saves a cat from a tree.

They all have to talk at length and praise it.

Compared to Marvel next door, the Daily Bugle is a loyal fan of Spider-Man.

Daily Planet can be regarded as the base camp of Superman’s support group.

There is a little fanboy cameraman in the front, and a girlfriend reporter in the back.

…

…

In a small town.

A mansion.

"Godfather, have you seen the recent news?"

Lex put his legs on the table, crumpled the newspaper in his hand, and threw it into the nearby fireplace.

"Superman, Superman...every day I see that guy wearing a red cape, flying around and making headlines!"

"Isn't there a newspaper that is willing to take the time to report some other news?"

"For example, Lex Luthor, a young and promising entrepreneur, has created thousands of jobs in the town."

Holding a lead box and looking at it carefully, Luke automatically blocked out Lex's complaints.

These days, there is a lot of public opinion and news about Superman.

As the number of fans increases, anti-fans are also gradually forming.

Human beings are complex creatures, and the reasons why they hate someone or something are sometimes very simple.

For example, Lex doesn't like Superman.

There is no other reason than that I just hate it.

"Lex, if you want people to notice you, either learn to create a gimmick, or... spend some money yourself."

He opened the box and used tweezers to pick up a candy-sized piece of kryptonite, the latest discovery of the archaeological team.

"It's propaganda, it's not shabby. Buy the trolls and go on the hot searches... I don't need to teach you how to do this."

Lex curled his lips and ignored the strange terms in the godfather's mouth.

He finally made some achievements, but no one noticed at all. Everyone was attracted by Superman.

This made Lex, who had always been proud and arrogant, angry, and subconsciously developed a deeper dislike for the red cloak.

"I just think the world is stupid. A person with unknown origins and a person who shows great strength... people actually regard him as a superhero just because he has done a few good things that are not worth mentioning."

Lex couldn't help but sneer and said in a deep voice: "The most important thing we should do is to be vigilant and prevent this time bomb from being detonated, instead of pursuing and worshiping him crazily."

"Well, that's really thought-provoking."

Luke nodded symbolically. Lex Luthor has always been a staunch human supremacist.

In this aspect, he is somewhat similar to Batman, Pharaoh and others.

Of course, Batman believes that human beings have some indestructible spiritual quality and moral bottom line.

Lex believes that a smart man like him should become the ruler and supreme leader of the world.

To put it bluntly, his supremacy of humanity is more like playing God.

"Instead of complaining to me, you should think of a way to steal Superman's limelight."

Luke closed the box where the kryptonite was stored and said with a smile.

The rivalry between the godson and his little cousin is interesting to think about.

"Humph, I can."

Lex raised his head and said confidently.

"But I don't have time now, I have to help Clark solve his single problem."

Luke raised his eyebrows. He hated Superman, but he became friends with his little cousin.

What a bloody sadomasochism.
