Jiang Hao had watched The Boys. The Superpower Users at that company injected a drug called "Compound V" to gain stronger abilities.
Vought International's Superpower Users were called superheroes, but in Jiang Hao's eyes, they were more like stars cultivated by a talent agency. The only difference was that they were not stars who sang, danced, or acted in films—they were superhero stars.
Like other celebrities, Vought International packaged their image, arranged how they would make appearances, arranged how they would save people, and even arranged for fans to idolize them. Their likenesses were used in all kinds of advertisements. It was exactly like packaging celebrities—a purely commercial operation.
In Jiang Hao's eyes, these people were not heroes. They were just a group of stars.
And these heroes were nowhere near as righteous or caring as they appeared, nor did they truly save people from suffering. Beneath their glamorous outer shells lay ugly human nature.
It reminded Jiang Hao of a certain list.
The company built personas for superheroes and guided gullible onlookers into frenzied idol worship. Commerce and capital manipulated the public, while unspoken rules and darkness lurked everywhere.
In Jiang Hao's eyes, although Homelander and the others were called superheroes, they truly did not qualify. They were completely different from real superheroes like Batman. They were merely tools for others to make money.

Jiang Hao suddenly had a feeling that Vought International might be the key to his investigation into the "Superman Gene Serum" and the Cosmic Energy Stone.
He immediately decided to go to New York.
There was not much point in constantly butting heads with Batman. This time, he planned to have some fun with Vought International's upper management, Homelander—the guy with abilities similar to Superman's—and The Seven.
