Background
Lin Feng was an ordinary Blue Star citizen before he fell asleep while watching an Avengers film and awakened in the cave where Tony Stark was imprisoned. His newly activated system assigned him to help Tony forge the first Iron Man armor, granting him a portion of Superman’s power in advance. After escaping with Tony, he temporarily lived in Tony’s villa because he had no legal identity or home in the Marvel universe. 1
Before transmigrating, Lin Feng had grown up in an orphanage and later bought a small home in Fengdong after finding work as an adult. Returning there in soul form years later, he found the home untouched but abandoned and reflected on his isolation from his former life. 217
Appearance
Lin Feng is a black-haired, black-eyed East Asian man. He publicly operates as Superman and commonly wears a black Superman suit designed to support his Kryptonian physiology. 4 133
- The Black Superman Suit recovers stamina, heals injuries, and improves solar-radiation absorption. 4
- As Shanhai, he adopts the appearance, mannerisms, and arrogant persona of a Black Robes operative to conceal his true identity. 594
- The Radiant Symbiote can spread across his body as a black combat suit. 655
Personality
Lin Feng is fiercely independent. He rejected both S.H.I.E.L.D. membership and the Avengers Initiative, though he accepted a paid arrangement as outside support when needed. He dislikes institutional control and generally responds to threats with direct confidence. 20
Despite his overwhelming power, he prefers to preserve the enjoyment of discovery rather than solve every problem instantly. He deliberately investigated Dapus’s world through local information instead of using abilities that could have revealed its entire history at once. 535
His rapid growth initially made him arrogant and overly reliant on destructive force. After the Ancient One confronted this weakness, he began pursuing magic and soul cultivation to develop beyond physical strength alone. 445 454
- Protects allies and civilians, while remaining willing to kill enemies he considers irredeemably dangerous. 16 84
- Enjoys teasing friends and treating extraordinary situations casually. 10 768
- Is strategically patient when infiltrating enemies, often using deception, intimidation, and false personas rather than brute force. 427 642
- Can become ruthless when people exploit his tolerance or threaten those under his protection. 535 658
Abilities & Skills
Kryptonian Physiology

The Evolution System is dedicated to evolving Lin Feng’s Kryptonian bloodline into “the strongest Superman.”

- Spell mastery — Learned Kamar-Taj’s teachings within roughly a week, developed creative spell variations, and surpassed every other Earth sorcerer besides the Ancient One. 456
- Magical armaments — Created a golden Gatling-gun-like weapon and can combine magic with his immense energy reserves for extreme destructive output. 456 458
- Soul cultivation — Used starlight, Soul Stones, the Radiant Magic Book, and Star Rivers to strengthen his soul. 475 495
- Death Attacks — Uses techniques such as Avada Kedavra and modified Black Magic that can damage or destroy both body and soul. 652 658
Spatial, Temporal, and Mental Abilities
- Instant Transmission — Teleports across vast distances, leaving Tony unable to follow even with stealth armor and predictive tracking. 475
- Telekinesis — Can make others fly and restrain or weaken enemies for allies to finish. 211
- Time manipulation — Possesses time-related abilities that made S.P.E.A.R. regard him as potentially godlike. 137
- Memory manipulation — Erased and later restored Stakar’s memories with a snap of his fingers. 515
- Cloning — Created more than one hundred clones, each possessing roughly 30% of his strength; Shanhai is one such clone. 541

Overclocking
Using the Heart of the Universe through his Superman Bracers, Lin Feng can enter an enhanced Overclocking state.
- Greatly raises perception, combat power, and control over time and space. 760

- Radiant Magic Book — A protective spellbook containing beneficial magic, rare materials, and soul-cultivation methods. 476
