American comics: Random transformations

Lex Luthor has already seen that *The Boys*. In that book, Superman is portrayed as nothing more than social garbage. Now, there's no word that can sting Superman more than 'Homelander'.

Superman's expression did indeed freeze. Lex Luthor's reminder made him think of Homelander, who disgusted him.

However, his resolve already renewed, he quickly recovered this time.

Superman adjusted his emotions, his expression still slightly stiff as he said to Lex Luthor:

"Luthor, were you the one who helped clear my name online? I'm very grateful for your help online. You've once again made me feel that saving people is meaningful, even if the praise comes from an opponent."

As he spoke, Superman's stiff expression relaxed. He said confidently, firmly, and full of hope:

"However, I've decided that the current me won't care about those things anymore. I'll still save the people who need saving, even if they're acting.

I may not be doing well enough yet, but I will continue to work hard, Luthor."

Suddenly thanked by Superman, Lex Luthor was stunned for a moment, and felt a little secretly pleased for some reason.

But as soon as Superman said those still very naive words, Luthor became very unhappy. He frowned, turned to look at Superman, and was about to dig at and mock him.

But Superman gave Lex Luthor a sunny smile.

This stunned Lex Luthor.

At this time, Superman was facing away from the sunlight. From Lex Luthor's perspective, his smile contained a little bit of sacred radiance.

You think Lex would reconcile with Superman because of a smile?

Heh heh, you're wrong. He suddenly felt that it wouldn't be bad if Superman became Homelander!

Inside 'Living Corpse Tomb'.

Tian Xiaoban lay on the lawn in a daze, like a living corpse.

The broken watch's transformation time had just ended.

Penguin Kowalski's various whimsical ideas and creative inspirations, those messy memories, had just been stored in Tian Xiaoban's memory palace.

His daze now was to examine those memories.

"My common sense tells me that penguin ideas can only be used by penguins. Damn, I'm a normal person, I can't use them at all!"

For example, this one: [Method of accelerating gliding with the belly]... Is this a technique that humans can use?

[Startup plan for the Machine Crisis]: That computer's system actually already has this function! It can frantically back itself up in the network, turning all electrical appliances into tools for the computer system.

That penguin's brain is really dangerous.

Tian Xiaoban pinched his eyebrows and pressed his temples, using this to relieve the brain swelling brought on by the knowledge.

He turned over and got up.

He casually picked up the detailed plan he had made when he was a penguin.

The wooden board holding the folder was opened by him, and the paper was full of stick figures, which were easy to understand.

"Step one, let Superman and Bald Lex meet and cooperate with me as the imaginary enemy…

The point is not whether they can cooperate, but to make them have a united front mentality! This can be cultivated."

The stick figure on the paper was Lex Luthor and Superman laughing with their arms around each other's shoulders, which was the effect of the plan's success.

Continuing to flip the page, the next piece of paper had a sci-fi alien spaceship drawn on it.

"Step two, according to predictions, the Kryptonian spaceship is expected to reach Earth in about two days.

Time is limited. I need to trouble Bald Lex these two days to make Superman and Bald Lex's cooperation smoother.

Bald Lex can also use these two days to research a lot of weapons to deal with Superman through Superman.

Seeing Superman swaggering in front of him all day long, it would be strange if Lex didn't make weapons.

As for that naive Superman, as long as his mentality doesn't collapse and he doesn't deliberately hold back because they are of the same race, fighting Kryptonians shouldn't be a problem! After all, so many years of yellow sunlight haven't been for nothing."

On the paper were stick figures of Superman fighting a Kryptonian general one-on-one, and stick figures of Lex's Kryptonite weapons being distributed to the military.

Next, the third step is the public opinion war that Superman finds most difficult to handle.

An alien invasion will definitely ignite people's anger. After the invaders are eliminated, that anger will definitely be directed at Superman.

"I don't know if Batman will come out to resist Superman. Sigh, why think so much? We'll talk about it when the time comes."

… … … … … …

Lex Luthor is a villain with brains and ambition. He can obtain Superman's genes when Superman is not paying attention, and make a baby for Superman. (Lex Luthor used his and Superman's genes to create a mixed-race Kryptonian, Conner.)

He can also use Superman's genes to clone Bizarro, who has the opposite abilities of Superman.

Lex Luthor's technological capabilities are still good, at least he can rank at the top on Earth.

"No, that's not right, Bald Lex can't make it yet!"

In Tian Xiaoban's impression, Lex Luthor should have unlocked the cloning technology tree after the Kryptonian invasion ended.

The Kryptonian spaceship was taken away by the American government. Lex Luthor should have studied the technology in the Kryptonian spaceship before he came up with cloning technology.

After all, there are nurseries in Kryptonian spaceships. As long as you get the Central Codex with all the Kryptonian genes, you can constantly create Kryptonians.

"Cloning technology... is also very useful to me!"

The special species that the broken watch sometimes transforms into are very suitable for cloning and use.

For example, plants can be cloned and planted in the base. Animals can be cloned and raised in captivity to add vitality to this secret realm.

Thinking of a bunch of cloned creatures scurrying around here, the name 'Living Corpse Tomb' becomes even more appropriate.

"If I could clone a Slowpoke or a Farfetch'd, wouldn't that be wonderful!"

Saliva dripped unconsciously from the corner of his mouth.

Tian Xiaoban pondered the channels for obtaining this technology. Obtain it from Superman? Or wait a few more years and snatch it from Lex Luthor's hands?

"Forget it, let's just snatch it directly from Superman. With 'Living Corpse Tomb' helping, it's still easy to snatch a spaceship."

… … … … … … … … … …

Metropolis.

Citizens protesting Superman have surrounded the police station.

When Superman chased the Penguin just now, he caused huge losses to the shopping center. They are here to ask the police to arrest Superman and pay for the damages.

The police are also at a loss. They really don't know what to do. They can't catch Superman, and they can't drive away the citizens.

Superman was still following Lex Luthor, watching him from outside as he researched protective suits and capture nets in the lab.

Protective suits that would allow the wearer to withstand high-voltage electricity without dying, and capture nets that could withstand high-voltage electricity without being damaged—with these two things, they should be able to catch Penguin.

Superman's super hearing was also constantly on; he felt deeply sorry for what had happened at the police station.

Because he felt that the clever Penguin was very dangerous and had to be captured before it caused a major disaster.

Superman planned to throw it into the zoo on his spaceship, where he should be able to create a more suitable environment for Penguin to live in.

Lex Luthor was the bait targeted by Penguin, and Superman needed to watch him and wait for Penguin to appear.

They waited until the next day.

Superman felt like he had been played by Penguin.

Lex Luthor also realized that he had been played by that foul-mouthed Penguin; it didn't seem like it was coming to make trouble for him at all.

Superman was naive enough to believe anything, so it was only natural that he was played by Penguin.

But Lex Luthor was different; the premise of him being played was that Superman told him Penguin was coming to make trouble for him.

Since even his opponent Superman had said so, Lex Luthor naturally waited in full battle readiness, researching protective suits and keeping watch all night, but Penguin didn't even show up.

"Oh ho ho ho, I have another reason to hate Penguin!"

… … … … … … … …

Today's *Daily Planet* content was explosive.

Because Lois wrote down everything that happened yesterday in detail.

She wrote about the beginning of Superman being smeared, the reason why Lex Luthor helped Superman "clear his name", the talking Penguin, and the shopping center chase with Superman.

Finally, Lois listed the Penguin named Kowalski as an enemy who was playing with Superman's reputation.

The citizens of Metropolis felt like they had eaten the best annual gossip; the strange relationship between Lex Luthor, Superman, and Penguin made people exclaim that they couldn't understand it.

However, the reporter's name marked on the newspaper was Lois Lane, which made the content of the newspaper more truthful.

Many online chat platforms were discussing Superman's affairs.

Some people felt that Superman should not be smeared; some people felt that it was nothing if Superman was smeared, anyway, he hadn't done anything, so what was there to fear from slander? Others felt that Lex Luthor was the only one who cared about Superman, after all, he specially helped Superman "clear his name", and Luthor spent a lot of money, a statement deeply recognized by the gangsters.

It was normal for people online to have different opinions.

But some people also felt that the golden Penguin was able to escape from Superman's hands, so its combat power must not be weak.

Therefore, since Superman didn't catch it, Lex Luthor definitely couldn't beat it either, and maybe the news in a couple of days would be that Lex Luthor was killed by Penguin.

The online吵闹 attracted most of the citizens, and there were much fewer people going to the streets to protest against Superman.

… … … …

General Lane saw the newspaper, and after reading all the content, he felt that Superman, that pig, was nibbling on his cabbage again!

So, he ordered the soldiers under his command to bring kryptonite guns.

And directly launched an arrest operation against Superman.

General Lane went to the headquarters of the *Daily Planet* first to find his daughter Lois.

He wanted to find Superman directly through his daughter's relationship.

But Lois said that she would not let General Lane arrest Superman.

From her firm refusal, it could be seen that she did not doubt that her father could catch Superman!

The team of soldiers behind her father were all equipped with kryptonite guns.

Lois could still recognize this kind of weapon that could directly affect Superman.

Last time, Superman was defeated by these guns, and she wrote the report, and she took the photos and close-ups of the kryptonite guns.

They were taking this weapon to find Superman, weren't they just trying to catch him! Lois absolutely disagreed.

The father and daughter directly quarreled in the headquarters of the *Daily Planet*.

The old father felt that dangerous people like Superman should be locked up, and after scientists had thoroughly researched him, they could judge whether he was safe.

Lois felt that her father was unreasonable; Superman worked so hard to save people, but her father wanted to lock him up as a lab rat! If the person in front of her wasn't her old man, she would have slapped him across the face.

Seeing that his daughter had been poisoned by Superman, and even her basic sense of crisis was almost gone, and she had reached the point of blind faith in Superman, General Lane could only say angrily:

"You will regret it, Lois! Superman is not a good thing! All superpowered people should be controlled!"

Lois covered her ears with her hands, looking like I won't listen, I won't listen:

"Take your army and get out, I will never do anything to betray Superman! Don't even think about it!"

The farce came to an end, and General Lane took the team away.

Lois also asked her editor-in-chief for leave; she was so upset that she couldn't work at all, and even wanted to jump off a building to complain to Superman.

… … … … …

At this time, Superman was with Lex Luthor, and they were studying how to deal with that organization with the green hourglass logo.

Under Lex Luthor's reminder, Superman also realized the threat of this organization.

Secretive, possessing multiple superpowered people, and possibly having researched Kryptonian genes.

And the bottom line was very low; after all, the first public opinion war Superman encountered was created by their organization.

Even if Penguin said it would come to cheer Superman on, it was ultimately something that hadn't happened, and hadn't happened meant nothing, which meant lying.

Lex Luthor, as Superman's opponent, was head-on, and Superman was more willing to believe Luthor than an opponent who would use underhanded tricks.

"I have many guesses about that thing, and the most likely one is that the green thing is the energy source of those superpowered people!"

Lex Luthor picked up a photo of Yellowbird, pointing to the Omnitrix logo and said:

"A super creature, even you, Superman, would you deliberately put a metal device on your body?"
