Chapter 145 - The Premiere of Man of Steel! The Shock Superman Brought!

The movie's plot began to unfold.

Clark discovered from a young age that he was different, and his adoptive parents urged him not to reveal it, to learn to be like everyone else.

But one day, Clark's superpowers suddenly intensified. Abilities like X-ray vision and super hearing tormented him.

Clark became an outcast in the eyes of others.

Several years passed.

During a field trip...

The school bus plunged into a river.

Clark lifted the bus, pushing it to the bank, saving everyone and becoming a hero.

Afterward, Clark went from being a freak to being... a powerful freak in the eyes of others.

Discrimination didn't diminish because of it.

Clark struggled with this.

His adoptive parents had told him to stop displaying his abilities, to pretend to be ordinary, and they had told him about his origins.

Learning that he was from another planet, Clark began to accept the reality.

He finally learned to hide himself.

As he grew older.

He came to Metropolis and became a reporter for the Daily Planet, where he met his girlfriend, Lois Lane.

In the process, Clark accidentally encountered a robbery, slightly exposing his abilities and easily taking down the robbers.

This was intentionally set up for laughs, making the audience chuckle.

After Clark arrives in Metropolis, the movie begins to differ significantly from the original, with subtle changes to the plot.

The original Man of Steel had severely polarized reviews, barely breaking even at the box office, not even making a small profit.

If they followed the original, in this Marvel world where Superman's fame isn't as widespread as in his previous life, it would be a guaranteed loss.

Anton wasn't stupid.

After discussing with screenwriter Browning, he retained some of the original plot points, keeping the main storyline intact, and General Zod remained the villain. However, the transitions in between became more humorous and lighthearted, not as grim and resentful as the original, making it seem like a decent popcorn action movie.

And Nick Fury, who had rented out the theater to watch the movie, was reminded of Captain Marvel, Carol Danvers, when he saw Superman demonstrating his abilities.

Both were "supermen."

However, Carol's abilities weren't as diverse as the Superman in front of him.

Super strength, super hearing, invulnerability, and X-ray vision!

Not many abilities had been displayed so far.

Just these few alone could differentiate Superman from ordinary people.

"Aliens!"

Nick Fury's expression was solemn.

If Krypton was real, then this universe truly had a Kryptonian race.

Just one Superman was already so terrifying. If an entire planet of Kryptonians came to Earth, wouldn't Earth be utterly defenseless?

Aliens, all of them Supermen! What could Earthlings possibly use to fight back? Nuke the planet? If that happened, after the battle, Earthlings would have to consider moving, finding a new planet to live on.

Nick Fury's expression was solemn.

At the same time, Tony Stark also thought of this point, feeling that Superman's existence was a bug, and began to doubt its authenticity.

Clark and Lois's life returned to normal.

Lois discovered something unusual about Clark; her lover seemed to be hiding something from her.

This infuriated Lois.

To smooth things over with Lois, Clark decided to take her on a trip to the Arctic.

Once they arrived, he unexpectedly heard unusual sounds with his super hearing, as if his own kind were calling out.

This immediately snapped him to attention. While Lois was asleep, he went to explore the depths of the Arctic.

Lois woke up to find Clark gone. She got up to look for him and accidentally slipped, falling into an ice crevice.

Clark's X-ray vision, telescopic vision, and super hearing were not for show.

In a moment of urgency.

Whoosh! Clark shot into the sky, breaking through the mountain at supersonic speed, and dove straight into the ice crevice.

At the critical moment, he saved Lois.

Not just Lois, even Clark was stunned.

He could actually fly?

The movie was more than halfway through.

Nick Fury and the others were once again shocked.

Flight!

Superman had once again displayed an extraordinary ability.

这货到底有多少本事?

超人是真实存在的吗?

这个世界上,真有这种具备多样超能力,宛如神明般的外星人?

难怪预告片中,超人的亲生父亲会说出那样一句话.

人们会尊他为神!

飞行!

瞧见这一画面,结合超人目前展现出的能力,不光是神盾局众人,包括 Tony Stark,Eddie,甚至是 DC 公司的粉丝,等等,都越发认识到超人的厉害.

如果真的出现这么一个超级英雄,还真就像是电影里说的那样.

神!

犹如神明!

Eddie陷入沉思.

他可是一直觉得,Superman 一定会出现在现实世界.

However, seeing such an exaggerated portrayal in the movie, Eddie couldn't help but hesitate.

Are these really characters that should exist in reality? Even for Aliens, it's a bit too much! Knowing that even if he went back to ask Anton, Anton wouldn't give him a straight answer, Eddie thought for a moment, then continued watching the movie.

After Clark saved Lois, he confessed everything to his girlfriend, and then, facing the giant ice block above, he once again displayed a superpower.

Heat Vision!

His eyes turned red, and beams of heat vision erupted, instantly melting the ice block in front of him.

At the same time, the frost under the ice crevice, which wasn't directly hit by the heat vision, also melted away, like snowflakes under the summer sun.

The crowd, seeing this scene, gasped for air for what felt like the umpteenth time, feeling the movie characters' exaggeration even more.

Nowadays, almost no one believes Superman could exist in the real world.

Such an overwhelmingly powerful superhero! Even if he were real, people wouldn't want him to appear.

Fear of the unknown!

Awe of the powerful!

People began to doubt whether this alien superhero, as depicted, was truly a friend to humanity.

Soon.

In the movie, Clark, along with Lois, discovered the anomaly he'd been searching for.

A Kryptonian spaceship, buried within a glacier, hidden for tens of thousands of years! Clark determined, based on its design, that the ship originated from his home planet.

Because in his eyes, it was just a larger version of the small spaceship he'd traveled in as a baby.

Lois was stunned.

When Clark inserted the key bearing the S symbol that he carried with him into the spaceship, he gained control of it.

A man appeared!

He looked similar to Clark. It was Clark's biological father, Jor-El, the leader of Krypton's scientists.

Jor-El explained his existence.

The Jor-El inside the spaceship was actually just a memory construct, not a real person. He could only appear in the spaceship through a projection.

Clark finally uncovered the truth about his origins.

He and Lois embraced tightly.

While training in the Arctic, his relationship with Lois blossomed.

During this time, Superman's incredible power was on full display.

People watching the movie couldn't help but imagine themselves in his shoes.

If they were Superman, with such terrifying strength, they'd definitely let loose.

But Superman, surprisingly, adhered to the promise he made to his adoptive parents.

He decided to remain hidden for the rest of his life.

After the holiday, Clark and Lois returned to their ordinary lives.

This day.

Clark went home to visit his adoptive parents.

The sky suddenly changed.

A huge tornado appeared.

Before everyone's eyes, Clark's adoptive father, Jonathan, was caught in the storm while trying to save his dog.

There were too many people around. Jonathan knew Clark could save him, but he still didn't want Clark to reveal his extraordinary abilities.

Jonathan believed the world wasn't ready yet and hoped Clark could enjoy his current life, so he sacrificed himself.

After Jonathan was buried, Clark fell into grief.

Clark's mother, Martha, did not blame Clark, but instead understood Jonathan's self-sacrifice.

The days that followed were as Jonathan had predicted. Clark and Lois were about to get married, and he was happy.

Clark gradually realized that Jonathan was right; he shouldn't reveal his superpowers.

An ordinary life was the happiness he had always sought.

However, Clark didn't know that danger was silently descending upon Earth.

NORAD, the North American Aerospace Defense Command, command center.

The military high command was in a meeting.

NASA had discovered an unusual shadow in space.

A spaceship.

Aliens!

The military was shocked and immediately locked down the information.

NASA attempted to contact the newcomers, but received no response.

The military then understood that their intentions were not friendly.

A few days later.

The news could no longer be contained!

Civilian organizations and many astronomy enthusiasts had discovered the spaceship in space, near the moon.

They quickly contacted the media.

The media made the information public, causing a sensation worldwide.

Clark had a bad feeling.

As expected.

Aliens had infiltrated the human network and deciphered all human languages, broadcasting a message across the internet.

Televisions, phones, computers, street-side advertising screens – all were taken over by a single image.

A deep voice echoed.

The message was delivered in Chinese, English, Italian, Spanish, French, German… hundreds of languages from around the world, each version played one after another.

The translation meant only one thing:

[You are not alone]

The audience was engrossed, but a chill ran down their spines.

They were reminded of the recent alien attack in New York.

The plot of the film seemed to be an allegory for that event.

Aliens eyeing Earth with ill intent!

Earth couldn't afford to greet aliens with open arms.

Thinking about the fact that this film was made before the alien attack, some people's eyes widened, realizing something.

The Daily Bugle!

Batman!

And certain mysterious organizations!

These guys definitely knew about the aliens a long time ago.

They just kept the information from the public to avoid panic.

Only after the alien attack did they decide to go public.

Even though it was just a hunch, he'd somehow guessed the truth.

He wasn't the only one thinking that way.

These people were both excited and terrified.

The release of this movie perfectly hit their high point, instantly getting them hyped and immersed.

Even the people from S.H.I.E.L.D. were frowning.

They also thought that this movie, this scene, was what Anton was alluding to.

After thinking about it, they couldn't come to any conclusions, so they could only continue watching.

"I am General Zod, from a world far away from yours. I have flown across countless planets to find you..."

"One of our citizens has lived on your world for decades. I demand that you hand him over to me. I don't know why, but he has concealed his existence. He strives to be no different from humans, he looks like you, but he is not a human!"

"For those who know his current whereabouts, the fate of your planet rests in your hands."

"Kal-El, you have 24 hours to surrender to us, or watch this world suffer the consequences!"

This speech ended.

The world returned to normal.

Televisions, phones, computers, and the screens on street advertisements all displayed their usual images again.

But people knew that Earth would never be the same.

Humans were not the only intelligent life in the universe!

Aliens had appeared!

"Zod!"

Clark knew that the person Zod was referring to was himself.

Finally, he put on the Superman suit and walked towards the military, who were looking for him.

Lois asked him, "Why did you surrender to Zod?"

Clark replied, "I surrendered for humanity. It's different."

After talking with the military, Clark agreed to meet General Zod, who had been searching for him for years, at a designated location.

Behind Clark stood countless military vehicles, tanks, and artillery.

Clark was taken away under everyone's watchful eyes.

But General Zod tore up the agreement.

He deployed special terraforming devices on Earth, intending to transform the planet into Krypton. He also planned to obtain the Kryptonian genetic codex from Clark, which Jor-El had entrusted to him, so that Kryptonians could be reborn on Earth.

A great battle! This was the long-awaited climax of the movie, anticipated by countless viewers.

Thus, people witnessed Superman in his strongest form.

The battle between Clark and General Zod, enhanced by special effects, was portrayed vividly.

Buildings collapsed easily.

A single punch shattered a mountain peak.

Their speed surpassed the speed of sound, creating shockwaves.

Zod's armor was broken. He unexpectedly absorbed solar radiation, causing his body to mutate and his injuries to heal rapidly.

At that moment, Zod finally understood why Clark was so powerful.

Feeling invigorated, and leveraging their extensive combat experience, the two Supermen displayed extraordinary strength.

The battle raged on, just like in the movie.

Nick Fury, however, couldn't watch calmly.

Even though it seemed unlikely, a species that could get stronger just by sunbathing was simply unbelievable.

The old man couldn't wait to leave the cinema and find Anton to ask for the truth.

He had only one question.

Did Superman actually exist in this world?

Far away in Los Angeles, Tony Stark began to think that this movie was complete nonsense.

Getting stronger by sunbathing!

If there was a Superman in this world, this method of getting stronger would completely overturn Tony's entire understanding of science.

He'd sooner eat the chair he was sitting on than believe there was a Superman in the world.

The ending, of course, was General Zod being defeated by Clark.

Clark was exposed, became a superhero, and was revered as a god, receiving the worship of countless people.

Easter egg section.

The actor playing Batman appeared.

"He's dangerous!"

"People see him as a god!"

Batman's expression was serious as he watched the images on the television.

It was Superman hovering in the sky, battling General Zod, and after winning, he was captured in a photo by a reporter in some ruins.
