American comics: You're asked to fish, but you catch a Superman template?

Page 732

Because of the influence of American radio stations in broadcasting, it can at least push the television market a step further.

...

In addition to helping improve the television industry (by Zhao Zhao).

Xu Fu hadn't forgotten the Superman series in the newspaper. As the most popular superhero on the market at the moment, each issue of "Messenger World" collected a certain amount of "faith" for him.

Currently, this is Xu Fu's most stable source of [faith], so he naturally won't give it up easily.

Following news of Roosevelt's visit to the Messenger Television Factory, the latest installment in the Superman series brings Superman back to Earth from his previous space adventures. After the events of "Mungo the Wanderer," Superman returns to Earth to protect the world after sensing a threat to the universe, and the comic's plot shifts from thrilling space battles to Superman's everyday stories.

The first novel mainly tells the story of a girl who doesn't believe in Superman.

The Messenger held a children's cover contest, and the winner was a girl named Alice.

But when Superman and Lois came to her house to deliver the award, they discovered that Alice was blind.

Chapter 887 What’s going on?

Through conversations with the girl's parents, they learned that Alice was not blind, but had lost her sight in a car accident several years ago.

Alice: "No, I don't believe there is a Superman in this world. It's just an urban legend, maybe just an actor in a special costume."

Superman: "What!"

Superman was somewhat surprised by the little girl's stubborn gaze. She was standing right in front of Alice, yet she resolutely refused to believe that Superman existed in the world.

If seeing is believing, how can you convince a blind person of his existence?

Alice's assertion, however, ignited Superman's desire to win, but no matter how hard Superman tried, Alice always felt it was a scam.

In the comic, Superman takes the girl into the sky, but Alice thinks it's because the other party prepared a helicopter in advance. When Superman talks about the future behind the door, Alice thinks it's because he peeked beforehand. When Superman twists the Iron Dog into a mess, Alice thinks it's theft.

In an instant, Superman's proud superpowers became useless in front of Alice.

Superman: "Perhaps I shouldn't just think about how to prove my point, but should use my super vision to see what's going on with Alice's eyes."

Although the girl continued to reject him, Superman was not discouraged. Instead, he put aside his desire to win and used his super vision to find out that the reason Alice was blind was that glass shards had damaged her optic nerve in the car accident. He immediately took her to the hospital, but the medical equipment of that era could not even distinguish the location of the glass shards, let alone such a complicated operation, which was impossible at the time.

Doctor: "No, we can't do that. Nobody can do such a complicated surgery."

Superman: "Then I'll do it."

Despite the doctor's rejection, Superman didn't give up. Instead, he stayed in the hospital library to study the art of medicine. If superpowers, flight, and eyesight were useless at this moment, then his brainpower and willpower came into play. With the superpower of his brain, Superman thoroughly studied medical books that would take ordinary people ten or twenty years to understand in just one day.

Superman went to the operating table and successfully underwent surgery; after the surgery, Alice saw again, she saw the sky, the sun, the world, and she saw Superman....

Superman lifted Alice into the sky once again, allowing Alice, who could see the light again, to see the real sky just like Superman.

The story of this "girl who doesn't believe in Superman" is short, but unexpectedly profound.

Therefore, this comic book sparked widespread discussion upon its release, with readers expressing various opinions on Xu Fu's statements in the story, and questioning whether they would still believe in the authenticity of their beliefs when Superman becomes an urban legend.

But how can this be justified when the subject becomes a blind person?

In this story, Xu Fu deliberately downplays the image of Superman as omnipotent, thus emphasizing the warm core of Superman's appeal. Superman's charm lies not in his use of his superpowers to show off, but in his helping every ordinary person, every weak person, attempting to create miracles and restoring hope to those who have lost faith.

At the same time, throughout the story, Xu Fu did not weaken Superman's superpowers, but only kept them away from the little girl's eyes. And at the end of the story, Superman did indeed use his super brainpower to solve the problem.

A person who can shatter others' dreams is not truly powerful, but a person who brings back a child's dreams is, in that moment, a truly shining superhero.

It can be said that through the story of "The Girl Who Didn't Believe in Superman," Xu Fu added some symbolic humanistic meaning to the omnipotent image of Superman, making the image of this character as a savior in people's hearts more fitting.

Of course, in addition to this, he also successfully unlocked his "Super Brainpower" to the "Silver" level through the serialization of this comic.

[Super Brainpower (Silver Level)]

[Ability Description: Superman possesses incredible intelligence and astonishing computational and learning abilities, capable of reading all published medical books in a single day and mastering knowledge that would take a normal person 10 years to learn.]

This issue of *The Messenger World* features two short comic strips related to Superman. Besides "The Girl Who Doesn't Believe in Superman," the second comic is about Superman traveling the world taking photos.

The plot loosely recounts how Superman, at the request of the editor of The Messenger, travels to five countries in a single day to perform stunts in front of the media.

In the comics, Superman first arrives in Paris and lifts the Eiffel Tower and flips it over in front of the Parisian media to demonstrate his amazing strength. However, after the performance, Superman opens the day's newspaper and finds that there is no mention of lifting the tower.

Superman was baffled, but his busy work didn't allow him to think about the reasons. He went to Italy, subdued a lion in the arena, and pulled a carriage by hand, but even so, the local newspapers still didn't write about him.

When Superman went to Rome to meet with reporters, the reason given by the local writer puzzled him, because there was so much news in the area that there were no more news programs about Superman.

Superman then traveled to different countries to demonstrate his abilities, but coincidentally, the local media in each country did not report any news related to Superman.

This result was somewhat discouraging for Superman.

After completing his work in the last country, Superman returned to Metropolis. It wasn't until the editorial meeting the next day that Superman learned the truth from the editor-in-chief of the Messenger newspaper. It turned out that all of this was a surprise prepared by the editors of various countries for Superman. They collected the items that Superman had made in each country and gave them to him as gifts to thank him for protecting the Earth.

The story of "Around the World with Superman" is not as captivating as "The Girl Who Didn't Believe in Superman," but the description of Superman traveling around the world in just one day is delightful for readers.

At the same time, with the publication of this comic, Xu Fu also elevated his [speed] ability to the same level as his [brain superpower].

Chapter 888 Raising the Battle Axe

"How is he?"

Counterterrorism World, 890 Fifth Avenue, Manhattan.

Inside the rebel base.

After the Avengers' next move was confirmed, Tony breathed a sigh of relief, then thoughtfully asked Nick Fury, who had walked to the side.

"It seems the same thing still happened; this incident hit him hard."

Nick Fury shook his head and looked at Tony in reply.

The two people were talking about "Tony Stark" in this world.

Not everyone was satisfied with the outcome after what happened on Havenas Island, especially Tony Stark. As the Iron Man of this world, his intelligence was no less than Tony's, which allowed him to easily detect changes in the world through his transformations and to easily spot any problems.

After all, Tony never mentioned in his childhood memories that he was capable of stirring up trouble.

Based on the strange condition of his body, Tony Stark began to investigate and eventually managed to learn the truth from a member of the Resistance, the Flyer.

It turns out he wasn't the real Tony Stark.

It was just a robot that Howard and Dr. Pym "resurrected" in the body of Thunderbolt.

This result exceeded Tony Stark's expectations and dealt him a huge blow.

Faced with Nick Fury's response, Tony's facial expression became speechless.

If he were in Tony Stark's shoes, he might also be just as eager to find the truth and act even more proactively than the other man.

"where is he?"

After a long silence, Tony looked at Nick Fury standing in front of him and said.

“I need to talk to him…”

...

"So, Mr. Thor, are you really Thor?"

Inside the rebel base, Doreen Green looked down at Stormbreaker lying on the ground, then looked up at Thor, dressed in a warrior's outfit, standing in front of her, and couldn't help but ask.

"It's just like a fake."

Saul put down her beer glass and replied without hesitation.

"Is your power truly derived from this axe, as you claim?"

After hearing Thor's answer, Doreen Green looked at the battle axe on the ground and continued to ask.

"Anyone qualified to lift Thor's hammer will receive the power of Thor."

Thor casually picked up the Stormbreaker from the ground, placed it on the table, gripped the handle in one hand, and said, "This is a spell cast by Odin, the King of Asgard. Only those who are qualified can break it."

"Treason."

Jessica, sitting across the table, put down her bottle and said with an incredulous expression, "How is this possible?"

"You can try."

In response to Jessica's question, Thor released his Stormbreaker and calmly replied.

"really?"

Upon hearing Saul's reply, Jessica's alcohol-induced eyes cleared slightly, and she looked at him, seeking comfort.

Meeting Jessica's gaze, Thor's previously uneasy heart calmed down. Looking at the Stormbreaker lying on the table, his confident expression suddenly became somewhat hesitant.

After all, when Odin first cast the spell, it was a hammer, but now it has become an axe. So what if the spell fails?

"Of course!"

Despite some wariness, Thor couldn't back down under the watchful eyes of the resistance base members and had to force himself to go back.

"That's what you said..."

Upon hearing this, Jessica downed the bottle of wine in one gulp, then stood up and gripped the handle of the Stormbreaker tightly with her slender hands.

Looking at Jessica's hand resting on Stormbreaker, Thor instinctively held his breath.

Jessica may appear weak and helpless, but over time, Thor has come to know that she possesses immense power that she can wield.

"Hmm, this doesn't look easy."
