American manga: I drew Superman in the Great Depression

"3,2,1,CUT!"

At the fire scene where smoke was billowing, the cameraman's voice fell in front of him.

"Huh~"

Colin, who had been maintaining a freeze-frame in front of the camera, immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He reached out and patted his face, which was stiff due to maintaining a serious expression for a long time, and asked the cameraman in front of him.

"How about it?"

"I feel good."

Putting down the heavy camera on his shoulder, Smith, the cameraman with a thick beard, shrugged and replied nonchalantly: "You're too nervous, Colin, this is just an ordinary fire news report."

, news incidents like this happen several times every day in New York City, so you don’t need to pay too much attention to it.”

"Maybe you're right, Smith."

Hearing the somewhat perfunctory comfort from the cameraman Smith, Colin's originally anxious mood unexpectedly eased a bit.

Turning his head and looking at the fire that was gradually being controlled behind him and the excited people around him, Colin's face couldn't help but look a little dazed.

It has only been less than a week or so since he came to this world. Zhou Cheng, or Colin, is trying to adapt to his new identity and the specious world of superheroes he currently lives in.

…

"Hey, Colin, Colin..."

At this moment, the cameraman's voice sounded along with the car's blaring horn, pulling Colin out of his trance.

When he came back to his senses, he saw that Smith, who was still on the opposite side, had sat back on the live broadcast vehicle at some point, honking the horn to urge him to get on the bus.

"Come up, the newspaper just got a call, saying that there was a police car chase in the 12th block. Let us rush to the scene to shoot first-hand news reports. Damn it, at this time, if I had known that there was a fire report just now

When it comes to news, I should take more pictures of the scene to delay..."

Rolling down the window, cameraman Smith poked his head out of the driver's seat and complained with a dark face.

Journalists who are assigned to the front lines by news agencies are often either veterans or rookies. The former have connections and can get exclusive news, while the latter have plenty of time that can be arranged at will.

Judging from Colin's performance, there is no doubt that he belongs to the latter.

In fact, it is precisely because of this that Colin's low-level mistakes in various tasks at the beginning of time travel did not arouse too much suspicion, allowing him to successfully survive the initial chaos with the help of his identity as a rookie reporter.

and hard life.

"Okay, right away."

He shook his head and suppressed the thoughts that came to his mind.

Colin took a deep breath, held the microphone with the "Daily Bugle" logo printed on it in his hand, and trotted all the way into the passenger seat of the live broadcast vehicle driven by the cameraman.

…

News reports on car chases ended in failure as expected.

By the time Colin and the cameraman arrived, the police had completed the arrest and drove away in a police car in front of them.

"Damn it, another trip was in vain."

Witnessing the police car's silent appearance, Smith, who was sitting in the car, couldn't help but slap the steering wheel and curse.

In the driver's seat, Smith, the bearded cameraman, complained habitually, while Colin's eyes in the passenger seat had already been attracted by the advertisements on the big screen in the square.

"... Possessing cutting-edge biotechnology capabilities... We are at the forefront to protect your health and safety. HYDRA Biotechnology will always be by your side and solve all your worries. Hail Hydra is the perfect guardian...

…”

In the advertisement, the skull octopus, which represents the Hydra logo, majestically appears on the screen in the square.

It gives people an inexplicable sense of absurdity.

However, except for Colin himself, no one in the entire square felt strange about what was happening.

Naturally, this included photographer Smith, who was sitting in the driver's seat.

After all, to people in this world, Hydra is just a multinational company specializing in biotechnology research, not the notorious Hydra organization during World War II. Even Hail Hydra was originally a slogan used by Hydra for brainwashing.

It has also become the advertising slogan used by Hydera Biotechnology on the screen in the square today.

Existences like this don't just happen on the big screen in the square.

In fact, ever since Colin came to this world, the more he learned about it, the more confused he became.

Everything that happens in this world is very different from the superhero world he remembers. In the history of this world, Tony Stark died in a car accident as early as the 1990s. Yes, that's right.

The car accident that killed Howard and Maria.

However, this time it was no longer just Stark's parents who died, but also Iron Man himself.

From the newspapers of the time that Colin found, it was vaguely known that a family of three seemed to have been invited to attend a special event and traveled together, but unfortunately died on the way to the event.

After losing the successors Howard Stark and Tony Stark, Stark Industries, founded by Howard Stark, also declined rapidly. Although during this period, as Howard's deputy,

Obadiah Stane tried to take over Stark Industries, but was ultimately unable to stop the company's decline.

The last news report Colin saw about Stark Industries in the media was the news that it was acquired by Hydra Biotechnology two years ago and became a subsidiary of it. It will be difficult to find reports related to it in the future.

Already.

The death of Tony Stark made Colin clearly realize that he was in a completely different superhero world than the one he knew in his memory, a superhero world without Iron Man.

In fact, Iron Man Tony Stark is not the only one who has disappeared.

S.H.I.E.L.D., Captain America, and the Avengers, everything Colin was familiar with, no longer exist.

Instead, it was the Thunder Agents.

A registered, 'legal' superhero group affiliated with the federal government.

In this team, there are not only the Luke Cage and Iron Fist superheroes that Colin knows, but also super villains like Crossbones and Bullseye. In Colin's memory, there are pros and cons that should be irreconcilable.

, but now they have become superheroes working together as a team in this world.

In addition to the people mentioned above.

Black Widow Natasha is also a member of the Thunderbolts.

Obviously, in a world without the Avengers.

This super agent has still found his place.

He became a member of the superhero team Thunder Agents, hunting down those unregistered superhuman criminals without government permission in the United States.
