"I am Superman?"
Clark took over the uniform with both hands, like an athlete holding the heavy Champion 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 the adoptive father Jonathan said, some kind of symbol?
"Do you think I have time to fly around and deal with those endless crimes?"
Luke shrugged and returned to the dark red cloak and metal suit.
His cameo appearance in Superman was originally intended to divert public attention and provide an internship position for his little cousin to promote the early formation of Justice League.
Vought Corporation 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 is enough for Clark to complete his studies, leave the novice village of a 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 seems 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, I have a message for you. The bigger the chest, the greater the responsibility... Oh no, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility."
Luke spoke with sincerity and heart, and began to impart life experience.
"When you receive attention, you also 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, with no 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 Krypton cousin would come over.
Supergirl Kara-Zor-El was originally the cousin of Superman, 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.
Faced with the uncontrollable excitement of his little cousin, Luke just smiled.
Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, superheroes have endless glory.
Wherever he goes, he is sought after, as if he is the brightest 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 must 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 remembers that my little cousin was like this several times.
I was kissing and touching my girlfriend Lois-Lane, and I was about to use the gun to go off.
Then there was a shooting somewhere Metropolis, and he could only say regretfully that he would fight another day, and then turned around and left.
My girlfriend was left alone in the empty room, neither up nor down.
Superman and Lois-Lane, this famous model couple often have emotional crises, and it is not without reason.
All in all, the profession of superhero is not attractive to Luke.
He would rather be a neutral jumping left and right than a firefighter.
"Metropolis and this town will be your jurisdiction from now on. 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 officially 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 Ra's al Ghul and returned?
"So, is there anything you should pay attention to when being a superhero?"
Clark was a little nervous, with the kind of uneasiness that an intern would have on her 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 brigade, which would affect the public's good impression of Superman.
Fortunately, Metropolis criminals 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 think about 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.
On duty at night, 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 the rugby team training at school every day, dealing with Lana and her boyfriend, and interpreting scenes of a teenage love story.
At night, I would fly from Kansas to Metropolis to handle several cases, occupying the headlines of Daily Planet for a long time.
In the words of future Batman, even if Superman saves a cat from a tree.
They all want to talk about it at length and praise it.
Compared to Marvel next door, 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 fireplace not far away.
"Superman, Superman... Every day I can see that guy wearing a red cape, flying around, sensationalizing!"
"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, Luke looked at it carefully and automatically blocked Lex's complaints.
These days, there is overwhelming news about Superman.
As fans increase, anti-fans are also gradually forming.
Humans are complex creatures, and the reasons why they hate someone or something are sometimes very simple.
For example, Lex he doesn't like Superman.
There is no other reason than that it is inexplicably annoying.
"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 piece of candy-sized Kryptonite, which was the latest discovery of the archaeological team.
"It's just propaganda, it's not shabby. Buy trolls and go on trending searches... I don't need to teach you how to do this."
Lex curled his lips and ignored the strange terms in 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, a person who shows great strength... everyone actually regards 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, "What we should do most is to be vigilant and prevent this time bomb from detonating, instead of crazy pursuit and worship."
"Well, that's really thought-provoking."
Luke nodded symbolically. Lex-Luthor have always been staunch human supremacists.
In this respect, he is somewhat similar to Batman, Pharaoh and others.
Of course, Batman he feels that human beings have some indestructible spiritual quality and moral bottom line.
Lex believes that smart people like him should become the ruler and supreme leader of the world.
To put it bluntly, his human supremacy 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 Kryptonite was stored and said with a smile.
The rivalry between the godson and his little cousin is interesting to think about.
"Humph, I will."
Lex raised his head and said confidently.
"But I don't have time now, I want to help Clark solve the single problem."
Luke raised his eyebrows. He hated Superman, but he became friends with his little cousin.
What a bloody sadomasochism.
