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

Page 616

On the other hand, Luther, who stopped the train, plundered the entire train.

As they were escaping, Superman appeared. He casually opened the car door and threw everyone inside. Luthor turned and grabbed Louise's car, which had just parked.

Superman thought Lex Luthor was going to run away, but he picked up a car and rammed into him instead.

Faced with this, Superman refused to back down, and the two started smashing each other's cars.

At this moment, one of the henchmen grabbed Lois and tried to use her to blackmail Superman. But Superman acted immediately, reaching out to grab the henchman's ankle. Superman calmly swung his hand, grabbing both of them, defeating the henchman, and rescuing Lois.

But Luther had already escaped, leaving him with no choice but to hand these people over to the police.

That night, Clark held the magical stone, wanting to know what was inside. The stone kept magnifying and shrinking in his super vision. It turned out that Superman was using his microscopic vision to observe the secret of the stone. He saw countless halos appearing inside the stone, seemingly possessing magical power.

One day, Clark saw an article in the newspaper about an expert who knew the secrets of magic stones. So he approached the expert with the magic stones, hoping to learn something. But he didn't expect that the expert was actually Luther in disguise.

Luthor: "Haha, you've been captured by Superman! Now the Philosopher's Stone is mine!"

Seeing this, Superman was eager to grab the Philosopher's Stone, but Luthor stopped the powerful Superman with a flick of his finger.

Immediately afterwards, the comic shows Lex Luthor going outside and instantly becoming enormous, destroying a massive steel bridge on Superman's body. Superman finds himself unable to escape the normal pressure of the steel bridge, even though he feels his power has vanished.

Superman: "How did you do that, Luthor?"

Luthor: "This is the power of the Philosopher's Stone. It can steal your energy and turn you from Superman into an ordinary person. Now you are no match for me, Superman!"

After saying this, Luther pinched Superman between two fingers and casually tossed him to the ground.

Superman jumped up and down several times and realized that he really couldn't fly in the air like before.

After gaining power, Luther gradually became the ruler, and the entire Metropolis was under his control. He imprisoned all his opponents, but Superman did not give up.

That day, Clark and Louise infiltrated Luther's prison.

Instead, they were captured by Luther's men, and Clark discovered that these detainees were the same people he had previously observed being tortured.

Louise was temporarily tied up because Luther had to deal with her personally, while Clark was pushed off the platform.

After falling, Clark grabbed the only hook, but due to his loss of powers, he couldn't hold on. Fortunately, his clothes caught him, and Clark managed to get up slightly, found a secluded spot, took off his jacket, and rushed towards the two Superman-like figures.

Processor A: "It's Superman!"

Trainer B: "Run!"

Although Superman had no superpowers, his prestige still scared away two of his henchmen.

Just as he was about to lead Louise away from the area, he was stopped by Luther.

Luthor picked up Superman and tried to kill him.

In a moment of crisis, Superman remembered that he had seen the scene inside the magic stone with his microscopic vision, so he focused on controlling the aperture.

Having been stripped of the Philosopher's Stone's power, Luthor is clearly no longer fit to be Superman.

Luther: "No, how did you do that? I clearly obtained your power using the magic stone!"

Superman: "If you can use the power of the Philosopher's Stone, why can't I? I transformed the power of the Philosopher's Stone into my own power, and now I not only have power, but I've become even stronger!"

Superman explained to Luthor how his newly activated energy works, transforming the magical power of the magic stone into his own energy source to unleash his superpowers.

As he did this, Superman stretched out his chest, and the power of magic made his body emit a powerful light—a magical version of super defense.

Seeing this, Luther was unwilling to resist and wanted to return the Philosopher's Stone, but he was clearly no match for Superman, who had become a magical superhero. So he ordered his men to stop him, but they were afraid of his power and dared not step forward.

They wouldn't even fit an ordinary superhero, let alone someone who has gained magical powers.

Luther: "You cowards! If I had known, I shouldn't have accepted you!" (0.9)

Luther: "No one would survive in this situation."

Enraged, Luthor pressed the self-destruct button, intending to bury everyone with him. However, the amazing Superman managed to save everyone before the explosion, leaving only Luthor alive. He was engulfed by the blast wave, and with the explosion, the Philosopher's Stone was destroyed, Superman's magical powers disappeared, and he returned to his original form.

Louise returned to the newspaper's newsroom, ready to talk to Clark about her experience.

Clark said that Superman first spoke to himself.

Lois: "Does Superman always give you the information first?"

Faced with this situation, Louise couldn't help but complain.

Clark: "Maybe it's because, well, I see Superman every time."

Clark simply smiled and offered an explanation.

On that day, news of Luther's defeat appeared in the Herald newspaper, and the Metropolitan City was no longer under enemy rule, and peace was restored once again.

Chapter 715 Hughes I

Super Vision Bronze Medal Ability

Plot: Initially, Superman could only see things around him, but as the comic book story progressed, he developed the ability to see everything far away in the city, as well as microscopic things and even mysterious powers invisible to the naked eye.

Capable of super conversion of black iron

Ability Description: Superman has a strong ability to adapt and learn, which allows him not only to adapt to Earth's ecological environment, but also to adapt to various energies and convert them into his own power.

In the latest issue of the Daily Messenger, two new abilities are discovered for Xu Fu.

First, there are improvements to the original abilities. The supervisors after the Bronze level not only have a wider field of vision, from the original ten-kilometer range to the city range, but also have enhanced microscopic visual effects. The mysterious power mentioned at the end of the verbal description represents Xu Fu's ability to see the existence of magic.

On the other hand, the new super-transformation ability is clearly designed to counter magic.

As a comic book character, Superman may need weaknesses to enrich the plot and make the story more engaging.

Personally, Xu Fu naturally did not want to have such a weakness.

Therefore, the super shapeshifting ability was undoubtedly developed in response to the original Superman's low resistance to magic. It was not only to help him solve the problem of being powerless against magical forces, but also to allow him to use these magics with new abilities.

In terms of comic creation, this unsolvable ability is destined to be edited out later, or even deliberately forgotten or ignored.

Even Xu Fu himself frequently used this method when creating his Superman comics.

For example, if the ability to become invisible is mentioned frequently, it will affect many of Clark's everyday stories as a journalist and Superman infiltrating the story, so he tends to unconsciously incorporate this ability into his writing.

This quality seems to have been extraordinary in the face of later changes in the world.

When the comics moved from the Silver Age to the Bronze Age, the writers didn't reboot the Superman storyline, but they did mention that Superman's powers began to diminish to make it more scientifically accurate, so they had to weaken Superman to maintain the balance of the story.

Of course, this is after the Superman comics, at least in the version created by Xu Fu.

Superman's power is not only decreasing, but becoming stronger.

rumbling

Just as Xu Fu was pondering this question, a loud buzzing sound suddenly came into his ears.

Immediately afterwards, with the wheels spinning noisily, everything around suddenly began to move backward, a powerful thrust appeared, and an alarm sounded in the cockpit.

"Ready!"

As Howard Hughes finished speaking, Hughes One began to slowly ascend, and the sounds coming from Xu Fu's ears became even noisier—the sound of the engines.

摆动

Suddenly, with a loud bang, Hughes I was violently thrown into the air.

"ah."

At the same time, Xu Fu's ears were filled with Howard Hughes's shouts.

“It’s exciting, isn’t it?”

Because the engine of Hughes I was very loud, Hughes had to raise his voice and shout to Xu Fu in the cockpit on the side.

"That feeling of floating in the clouds makes my heart race every time."

Thanks to the success of his previous voyage, Howard Hughes' second voyage at sea was exceptionally successful. He and his camera crew, along with skilled workers hired for the color transfer process, completed the images of the iceberg. Shortly after returning to New York, he extended an invitation to Xu Fu to begin working on the film "Titanic".

As a screenwriter, Xu Fu gladly accepted the invitation.

Howard Hughes, as Holwood's producer and director, possessed the connections and relationships Xu Fu needed.

In fact, he never lost interest in Paramount, and Hallewood was one of the important territories for Xu Fu to expand Superman's influence in the future.

Compared to steam locomotives, only Hughes had his own ideas, because steam locomotives were a time-consuming means of transportation.

The Hughes I was the first new aircraft he designed and built at Hughes Aircraft Manufacturing Company, an aircraft repair facility in Los Angeles.

Howard Hughes's goal this time was to fly back to Los Angeles in this plane, so he specifically brought Hughes One to New York for this purpose.

Needless to say, this was a crazy decision. Obviously, a normal person would not accept Hughes' invitation to fly.

After all, Howard Hughes, who served as the pilot on this trip, actually had no sailing experience; according to his own account, he worked as a pilot for American Airlines for two months with a fake certificate, which was the only time in Hughes' life that he had systematic exposure to flying an airplane.

But clearly, Xu Fu is not the norm.

In the positive world, his power is weakened to varying degrees, but it is still enough to keep him safe in dangerous situations.

In other words, even if the plane actually piloted by Howard Hughes crashed, Xu Fu would ultimately survive.

Chapter 716 I Can Understand

Because of its flight capabilities, it can land slowly and smoothly even while circling.

Furthermore, according to Xu Fu, although Howard Hughes was crazy, he was also quite talented in piloting airplanes. He even later piloted a plane across the United States, circling the earth 14,824 miles in 91 hours and 14 minutes.
