American Comics: The Mighty Superman, Starting From Gwen Spider

Chapter Four: Into The Extraordinary



Peter never expected that after only basking in the sun for less than an hour, he would awaken all of Superman's basic abilities.

【Kryptonian Superman】

【Awakened Super Abilities: Energy Absorption, Super Vision, Super Hearing, Heat Vision, X-ray Vision, Invulnerability, Bio-electric Field, Freeze Breath, Hypnotic Brainwave Ability】

Looking at the information panel in front of him, Peter opened each of his awakened abilities one by one, examining the details.

Peter couldn't believe that he could become so powerful after only basking in the sun for such a short time.

【Energy Absorption】allows Peter to absorb the sunlight and store energy within his body. If injured, Peter can also absorb the energy from the sun to accelerate the healing of his wounds.

【Super Vision】and 【Super Hearing】currently have a range of about one kilometer.

Thinking about how Superman's later vision and hearing abilities can cover the entire world, universe, and even multi-universes... Peter knows that he still has a long way to go.

As for the ability of 【Heat Vision】, although it has just awakened, the temperature it releases can reach two to three thousand degrees Celsius, with the additional impact and cutting effects. It is a long-range attack technique with astonishing power.

【Invulnerability】is still inferior, and its defensive power can only withstand conventional missile bombardment for now.

The attack power when fully unleashed is comparable to that of a "little boy," and the speed of Peter's attacks can reach ten times the speed of sound, while his movement speed is around ten Mach.

Peter estimated that after basking in the sun for half a day or a full day, his invulnerability should be able to withstand the power of a nuclear explosion. At that time, his attack power, attack speed, and movement speed should also increase significantly.

As for the ability of 【Bio-electric Field】, even when fully expanded, it only covers a range of about fifty meters. Although the coverage range is not large, it already allows Peter to distort the laws of physics and achieve supersonic flight at around five Mach.

Among the abilities currently awakened, the one Peter is most concerned about is the 【Hypnotic Brainwave Ability】.

Peter opened the detailed introduction and took a look. He discovered that this Hypnotic Ability brainwave could subconsciously affect the cognition of people around him.

In other words, this Hypnotic Ability brainwave can help him hide his identity!

"No wonder no one in the comics can know Superman's true identity. Presumably, this passive ability of the Hypnotic Ability brainwave has played a significant role, definitely... and also Superman's glasses."

Peter sighed in his heart, his growth rate was really fast.

But thinking about how an adult Kryptonian coming to Earth and being exposed to the yellow sun would awaken their abilities at a rapid speed...

After comparing, Peter realized that his growth rate should be within the normal range.

In the movie "Superman: Man of Steel," Zod, who had just arrived on Earth, also awakened his abilities quickly.

And in "The Flash," Supergirl, who was just rescued and placed under the sun for less than two minutes, awakened her abilities.

These pieces of information basically indicate one thing -

As long as an adult Kryptonian is exposed to the yellow sun, they can quickly awaken their abilities and become extraordinary.

As for why Clark's ability awakening on Earth was so slow... Peter speculated that it should be related to Clark still being a growing child.

There should be a difference between adult Kryptonians and Kryptonians whose physical organs are not fully developed.

"The bloodline of R is impossible to have such a low combat power, but my body has already reached the 'full power' state..."

"I can feel that my body has reached a bottleneck."

"I think as long as I adapt to this bottleneck and break through on this basis, my body will be able to store more radiation energy."

Based on the performance of Superman in movies and comics, the more energy Superman's body stores, the more astonishing his physical functions and super abilities will be strengthened. It seems that I have to take it slowly.

Peter had just collected his thoughts when his powerful auditory system caught the sound of tearing air coming from behind him.

Turning his head, he saw a basketball flying towards his head at an extremely slow speed in Peter's eyes.

Looking further, a look of understanding appeared on Peter's face.

This basketball was thrown by the notorious school bully, "Lightning," from Central Science High School.

Lightning Thompson, a member of Central Science High School, often bullied Peter Parker at school.

Just as Lightning had walked out of the classroom, he saw Peter sitting in a chair daydreaming, which sparked his desire to bully Peter.

Without hesitation, Lightning threw the basketball in his hand towards Peter.

However, Peter was no longer the weak and powerless nerd he used to be.

He had now become Superman, and naturally, he could easily defend against the flying basketball.

Taking his gaze off Lightning, Peter reached out his right hand and skillfully caught the high-speed basketball in his arms.

The group of companions around Lightning, who had originally wanted to watch the show, widened their eyes in disbelief when they saw Peter's actions in the distance.

What the hell?

That nerd, with glasses and a weak personality, when did he learn to be cool?

Peter looked at the basketball he had caught in his hand, his face filled with contemplation.

You see, Peter had just awakened the basic abilities of Superman, and his physical strength had suddenly increased dramatically. It was supposed to require a period of adaptation.

But when he caught the basketball just now, Peter discovered that he could perfectly control his body's strength!

Could it be that the Superman bloodline didn't require adaptation and he could instinctively control his own strength?

Superman is truly the center of the DC universe, his bloodline is just too powerful!

Flash was surprised to see Peter's reaction being so quick, but after a brief moment of astonishment, he felt somewhat displeased.

He never expected that his attempt to tease Peter would actually result in this damn nerd showing off!

"Hey, Peter, you better obediently bring that basketball over here." Flash stood in place, speaking in a indifferent tone.

At Midtown Science High School, Flash Thompson was one of the classmates who enjoyed bullying Peter Parker the most.

Peter's mind was filled with memories of being bullied in the past, causing him to furrow his brows involuntarily.

Looking at the imposing figure of Flash in the distance, Peter casually threw the basketball he was holding to the ground.

Faced with Peter Parker's act of disregarding him, Flash felt a twinge of anger.

Especially when he heard the jeering voices of the people around him, Flash's anger surged even more.

"Hey, bro, Peter, that nerd, actually ignored you!"

"Look, Flash, Peter doesn't even consider you anymore!"

"Oh my god, has Peter lost his mind? How dare he provoke our Flash like this!"

Under the instigation of the people around him, Flash walked towards Peter Parker with a cold face.

Seeing Flash making a move, the surrounding classmates stopped in their tracks and focused their gaze on Peter and Flash.
