Marvel: Sorcerer Supreme Superman

Chapter 18

018. Ables and mutants

As night gets darker, the street lamps on both sides of the street come on.

Looking at the bright street lamp, you know that the security in the neighborhood is very good, otherwise the street lamp would have been broken a long time ago, and the darkness would cover the earth, so that you could do something less civilized.

Gwen's home is diagonally across the street.

It's equivalent to crossing the street and walking a few steps to get there.

But neither Clark nor Gwen mentioned going home, but walked down the street one after the other.

It's like a pair of lovers who have just started dating.

However, the distance between Gwen and Clark has remained the same, always two meters away, and the distance has steadily widened.

"Being close to me seems to make you feel insecure. "

Clark was the first to speak, not very friendly.

Gwen nodded lightly, and simply acknowledged:

"Yes, I'm a little scared. "

"My instincts tell me to stay away from you as much as possible, because it's dangerous to be close to you...... If you have bad intentions, it will be difficult for me to escape. "

Clark spread his hands helplessly:

"As you can see, I don't mean anything malicious. "

"The reason why it is so close to your house, if I say that it is a complete coincidence, do you believe it?".

Gwen nodded again, and gave her own explanation:

"I believe it. "

"Before your family moved in, the landlord of that house was looking for a new tenant. "

"Even if you don't have a family, there will be other tenants coming, and I will have a new neighbor. "

"It's just that I didn't expect that such a coincidence that the new neighbor would be such an unfathomable 'capable person' as you. "

After a moment's hesitation, it seemed that it was a bit inaccurate to say this.

Gwen added:

"Of course, it's also possible that it's 'mutants'. "

She glanced back at her house and said with a wry smile

"Clark, I believe it's a coincidence...... Because if you really have malicious intentions towards my family, then even if you can't catch me, my house is there, and you can't get away no matter what. "

You can run a monk, but you can't run the temple.

If you have malicious intentions, then after grasping the life safety of Stacey's family, you can naturally easily take care of Gwen.

But Clark didn't do this, and he didn't show any malice.

It's like Gwen coming to her home with a bag of bread.

It's not a misunderstanding, it's just a simple coincidence.

Clark was reminded by Gwen's words.

He asked with interest

"What do you mean by 'capable people' and 'mutants' just now, and what is the difference?".

Gwen glanced at him, and seeing that Clark was indeed curious, she explained

"According to what I've learned so far, both mutants and abilities are individuals with power and strength. "

"But mutants are born with power, even if they don't do anything, after awakening that power, they will become stronger, far beyond ordinary people. "

"And the capable person has acquired the ability by chance and mastered the power far beyond ordinary people. "

One is born with it.

The other one is acquired.

For a more visual explanation, Gwen cites the example:

"You should know the Avengers, right? They were once in New York and fought off an alien invasion!"

"There are two superheroes in the Avengers, one is Captain Steve, and the other is Iron Man Tony Stark. "

"Captain Steve was born just an ordinary person, according to the documentary, it was after being injected with serum that he gained the strength of a super soldier, but I don't know if this matter is accurate, after all, it is a documentary filmed by the military, and no one knows whether what those people in the military say are true or false. "

"And Iron Man Tony Stark is even more intuitive, he is still an ordinary person until now, and he is a very rich ordinary person. But he used his ingenuity and a lot of money and resources to build that steel suit and turn himself into Iron Man!".

"As I understand it, both of these are capable people!".

When Gwen spoke of these things, he was very clear.

The powers of Steve and Tony Stark are both acquired.

The acquired power is naturally the one who is capable.

Logical self-consistency, forming a closed loop.

Clark nodded, indicating that he understood.

Immediately he asked a very abrupt question:

"Gwen, how did you get your abilities? Are you a mutant or a capable person?".

Gwen's face changed slightly

"My ability was acquired by chance. "

"As for how I got it, don't ask—I'm sure I have my own secrets. "

Gwen didn't want to tell Clark about being bitten by a spider and gaining powers.
