American comics: Random transformations

"Hot dogs, hamburgers, fried chicken... Whatever my store sells, it will be there that day! If you win first place, you'll get a stack of free coupons! You can eat at any of my fried chicken restaurants!"

The boss had a confident expression.

Tian Xiaoban nodded: "Okay, I'll be there then!"

Amidst the crowd's gazes, he left the fried chicken restaurant.

"Sh*t, he eats so much junk food, yet his figure is still so good. How does he do it?" A rotund waiter muttered enviously.

Another equally obese waiter interjected: "Having the talent to eat without gaining weight is a gift. You can't learn it. Let's get back to work."

… … … … … …

The next day, early in the morning, LexCorp released an announcement.

They would hold a press conference at noon to criticize the "Yellow Flash" from yesterday, as well as the Superman flying in the sky!

The publicity was widespread, and basically, all the citizens of Metropolis knew about it!

The idle citizens, after finishing lunch, strolled over to the podium set up by LexCorp.

Lex Luthor, the CEO of LexCorp, was standing on the podium, which was already filled with news reporters!

"Okay, it's about time, everyone. We won't waste any time.

Next, I will reveal the true face of the 'Yellow Flash' from yesterday. I hope you won't be too surprised!"

After Lex Luthor finished speaking, he pressed the remote control in his hand, and the large screen behind him lit up, clearly displaying a picture of a yellow bird running wildly.

"Holy crab, what is that thing? A bird?"

"Is it a mutated ostrich? Why is it triangular? It's so ugly."

… …

There were many discussions around, but one voice was particularly clear.

"That's it! F*ck, that's what saved me! I want to kill that damn bird!"

It was the unlucky guy who jumped off the building and didn't die—Zz'z G'ooye Jordan.

After feeling as if his heart had died, love turned into hate, and he hated his savior! That super-fast bird!

The citizens of Metropolis are like this; anyone who saves them will inexplicably be hated. Superman is used to it.

Of course, there are also people with normal brains who would express gratitude to the... bird, that saved them:

"Yes, that's it. I want to thank it for saving me! For saving my whole family!"

Of course, the sounds of gratitude were not what Lex Luthor wanted to hear.

He tilted his head slightly to the staff backstage, giving them a look. Immediately, three security guards rushed up and took away the person who thanked the yellow bird.

Next, what Lex Luthor needed was the public's emotions filled with hatred.

"You've all seen it. That super-fast creature isn't necessarily human. It's obviously... a bird!

And that Superman flying in the sky, he's clearly not a normal person either. He makes us feel threatened, let alone a bird that isn't even human? They should all be arrested.

Especially that bird! Who can guarantee that the bird's beak won't puncture your brain?

Therefore, I, Lex Luthor, will now present my new weapon!"

Lois Lane in the audience was already furious. She had just reported on Superman yesterday, saying that Superman represents hope and peace and does good deeds in Metropolis! But in Lex's words, Superman is a threat, an enemy!

Ignoring the staff's obstruction, she rushed up directly, wanting to confront Lex Luthor face to face!

Seeing that things were about to get chaotic, Clark Kent nimbly took a step back and disappeared into the crowd.

After squeezing out of the crowd, he ran into the nearest revolving door to change clothes.

Lois Lane said angrily:

"Mr. Lex, please retract your slander against Superman! What were you doing when he was earnestly saving people?

You can't treat him as a threat just because he's stronger than you! He's helping people. Your statement is unfair to Superman!"

Lex Luthor smiled:

"Hahaha, fair? I thank you very much, Miss Lois. You have revealed Superman's most authentic side to us, including surveillance, eavesdropping, and damaging public property.

Super vision, super hearing, super strength! Any of these superpowers, to us ordinary people, isn't that a form of unfairness?"

Lois retorted:

"But he can control them! My report mentioned that he spent many years controlling these superpowers!"

Lex smiled even more happily:

"Yes, yes, you've revealed to me again that his superpowers can be uncontrollable!

He wasn't born with the ability to control these powers; he needed to practice, just like driving a car! But, you can't deny that even people who have learned to drive can still have traffic accidents! Can you guarantee that his future abilities won't go out of control? Can you?

No! Just like you can't control a car that's out of control!"

The crowd below felt that Lex Luthor made a lot of sense! Everyone makes mistakes sometimes, but not everyone can afford the price of those mistakes!

Just as Lex Luthor was feeling triumphant.

A voice came from the sky:

"Alright, Lex Luthor, I'm here. You can ask me any questions you have; there's no need to make things difficult for that lady."

Red cape, red shorts, handsome slicked-back hair, and an S-shaped fringe, Superman had arrived!

Chapter 41 Superman! Wait, a Second Superman?

"Wow, wow, wow~, let's applaud and welcome Superman's arrival!

Superman, welcome to join the fun."

Lex Luthor smiled and took the lead in applauding, but he clapped his hands very slowly, giving people a feeling of perfunctoriness.

The audience below was the same, some admiring, some jealous, some afraid. They looked up at Superman in the sky.

Very few people in the audience applauded enthusiastically, and the slow clapping was full of perfunctoriness.

Lex Luthor was very satisfied with his ability to control the situation. This showed that although there were citizens blindly worshiping Superman below the stage, the number was relatively small. In that case, the next good show could begin.

"Luthor, you can ask me any questions. I'm right here. I'll answer any questions I know."

The red cape fluttered in the sky, and a confident smile hung on Superman's face.

Lex Luthor looked even happier than Superman: "Very good, I admire your courage. Superman, it's not good to fly in the sky, it's easy to scare people. Come, let's talk sitting down."

Lex Luthor clapped his hands, and the staff brought up two sofas. The style of the podium instantly turned into a talk show, and the background board of the talk show was that fast-running yellow bird.

"Superman…"

Lois was just about to say something when Lex Luthor waved his hand to interrupt:

"Miss Lois, now is my chat time with him, please don't interfere with our chat, otherwise I will kick you out.

Oh right, I remember you mentioned in your interview that Superman has a super brain, right? I think his brain shouldn't be just for show, right?"

"I'm a reporter, you can't kick me out. Superman, you don't need to confront Luthor."

Superman smiled brightly at Lois, who was looking worried, telling her not to worry.

He slowly floated down from the sky and came to the stage to face Lex Luthor.

Lex Luthor said triumphantly to the audience: "Look, this is Superman! Powerful, confident, he doesn't need to be afraid of the threat of an ordinary person like me."

However, looking at Luthor's triumphant face, it felt like he had won in some way.

Superman used his X-ray vision to carefully look at Luthor. He could tell that Lex Luthor was very excited, but what exactly was Luthor excited about?

"Luthor, what exactly do you want to say?"

Lex Luthor put away his smile, sat on the sofa, and said very relaxedly:

"I don't think the world needs Superman. So I want you to disappear!"

"What!"

Lois was the first to disagree, "Lex Luthor, are you crazy? Are you going to kill Superman!"

Based on Lois's many years of experience as a reporter, when a rich person says "I need you to disappear", then basically, that person will really disappear, and the final outcome will be sinking into the sea or being encased in cement.

Lex Luthor waved his index finger, indicating that she was wrong:

"No, no, no, Miss Lois, I will sue you for slander if you talk nonsense! And I believe my lawyer can win.

When I say let Superman disappear, it means disappear from the public eye. The world can have one more invincible superpower user, but it must not have one more Superman in the social sphere.

His existence will make people degenerate."

Lois retorted: "You're dreaming! People can't live without Superman now! He is a good example and will not cause people to degenerate!"

Superman walked to another sofa and sat down with a thud. He leaned forward, crossed his hands against his chin, and then asked in a questioning tone:

"I don't understand, Luthor, why do you want to resist the appearance of Superman? Do you want me to turn a blind eye and not save those poor people?"

Superman's words were actually digging a hole. Lex Luthor wanted to use the degeneration of human beings to pressure him, so Superman used human lives to fight back.

No one is not afraid of death! Especially those who die in accidents. And no one can guarantee that they will not die in an accident.

However, Lex Luthor jumped into this pit without hesitation. He is a human supremacist. He believes that human potential is huge, and those dangers and accidents can be solved by human wisdom.

Instead of relying on a nanny-like Superman!

"Yes, I demand that you don't save them!"

Superman's existence weakens humanity's potential to resist danger.

Luthor hopes to promote the progress and development of human society through his own mind and efforts, rather than relying on Superman's external power.

"I understand what you mean."

A smile appeared on Clark's face, "I'm just doing my best to help those in need. Luthor, I can't satisfy everyone, but I will still do what I think is right."

Superman's attitude made Lex Luthor very angry: Fack, I said a lot seriously, and you still want to do your own thing?

Lex Luthor decided that he must make this confident Superman suffer!

"OK, I understand. Since you want to stand on the opposite side of humanity, then you have to taste the wisdom of me, a human being.

Look at the ground, can you see through it?"

Superman obediently used his X-ray vision and found that he couldn't see through it, "Lead plate? The whole stage is?"

"What! Lead plate!"

Lois looked surprised, she suddenly realized that she seemed to have caused trouble.

Lex Luthor started laughing again:

"Oh, haha, it seems you really can't see through the lead plate, hahaha, thanks to Miss Lois's interview, she really is the strongest female reporter.

Superman, would you like to see what's under the floor?"

"Hey Luthor, I don't think we need to make a fuss about this."

At this time, Superman hadn't suffered much loss yet. He thought that what Lex Luthor installed under the stage was probably some shells, machine guns, etc., which would not harm him at all.

"Luthor, what have you done! You used my information!"

Lois was anxious, she questioned Luthor.

Lex Luthor pushed away Lois, who was blocking him.

"I just want Superman to know the wisdom of mankind! Please step aside and don't disturb me.

Marx, you can start it!"

A response came from behind the stage: "OK!"

Crack, crack, crack, the floor of the entire stage began to flip.

Seeing that Superman had no intention of running, Lex Luthor felt that he was being underestimated. He kindly reminded him: "Aren't you running yet? Superman? Do you really think you are invincible?"

"Luthor, I've tried all the weapons on Earth, they're really useless to me, there's no need to waste time."

As soon as Superman finished speaking, several green lasers shot out from the floor and hit Superman!

Weakness, pain, powerlessness…

The light of green kryptonite enveloped him, and Superman instantly turned into a wet noodle, and fell to the ground with a "plop".

His whole body of angular muscles visibly softened, he was pitiful, weak, and helpless.

"Ah! What did you do to him!"
