American manga: I drew Superman in the Great Depression

【Faith(1033/1000)】

The acquisition of one thousand [Faith] was faster than Colin expected.

After handing this Wednesday's "Superman" comic series to Old John, Colin, who returned home, looked at the numbers displayed on the text, and the look in his eyes flashed slightly.

"Then it's the last step."

Take a deep breath, and as the thoughts emerge in your mind, the numbers in the [Belief] column begin to decrease.

Immediately afterwards, the ever-changing "Black Iron Mark" on the back of Colin's hand began to gradually condense. In the process, he heard some murmurs. The words he identified carefully seemed to be comments about Hoover that had been published in the "Courier" in the past.

Seeing this, Colin's breathing couldn't help but become a little faster, and under his gaze, the patterns condensed on the surface of the mark seemed to begin to reveal some vague facial features.

"Never be Hoover, never be Hoover!"

Seeing this scene, Colin clenched his hands subconsciously, and his palms began to sweat. He quickly held his breath and said silently in his heart.

I don't know if Colin's prayer had an effect, but gradually the murmurs in his ears began to be covered by more praises.

These voices were murmuring loudly or softly, converging intermittently into one sentence:

"...Is that a bird? Is that a plane? That's Superman! (That's a bird? That's a plane? That's - Superman!)"

As the voice sounded, the marks that had originally turned into blurry facial features began to disintegrate, and finally condensed into the shield-shaped S mark, which appeared on the back of Colin's hand.

"Huh~"

Taking a long breath, Colin wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Everything that happened in just a few dozen seconds was simply more exciting than riding a roller coaster.

Fortunately, the final result did not disappoint him. He looked down at the shield-shaped S mark formed by the black metal luster [Black Iron Mark] on the back of his hand, and an unconcealable smile emerged from the corner of his mouth.

"Next, let me take a look at the true function of [Black Iron Mark]!"

Pressing down on the eager thoughts in his heart, Colin closed his eyes.

The familiar green light enveloped his consciousness again, pulling him down.

However, falling asleep this time was different from any other experience Colin had experienced in the past.

In the process of his falling consciousness, countless pictures seemed to flash through his mind. In these pictures, he saw men and women with unclear faces on a broken planet, and a baby on board a spaceship crashed into a farm.

, was discovered by a couple named Clark.

These are all the plots of the "Superman" comics that Colin previously serialized in the "Courier".

…

【Bronze Mark(1/100)】

【Faith(33/10000)】

So, behind the black iron is bronze? It’s really an old-fashioned setting.

Counter World, when he opened his eyes, Colin noticed that the words in his eyes seemed to have changed.

The words that originally showed "Black Iron" were replaced by "Bronze", and even the number behind the "Faith" column changed from one thousand to ten thousand, which was a tenfold increase.

This growth rate is completely unreasonable. Normally, it shouldn’t be doubled at the beginning. Does that make sense?

His eyes lingered on the number ten thousand behind [Faith] for a long time, and then Colin looked away with an expressionless face, curled his lips and complained silently in his heart.

If you don't know, the words in front of you have no other function besides prompting the collection effect.

Colin really planned to have a detailed discussion with it about these unreasonable design issues.

He shook his head and forced himself not to read the words in front of him.

Colin returned his attention to the [Black Iron Mark] condensed on the back of his hand. As he looked at it, words began to appear on the shield-shaped S mark with a faint black metallic luster on the back of his hand.

…

[Black Iron Seal——Superman]

[Ability—Super Strength (Black Iron)]

[Ability description: Superman's first appearance showed the powerful strength to lift a car over his head. As the comic plot develops, his strength becomes greater than a locomotive. He can effortlessly throw tanks and break them with one hand.

Iron chain.]

[Ability - Flying (Black Iron)]

[Ability description: Unlocked]

[Ability—Super strong defense (black iron)]

[Ability description: Unlocked]

[Ability - Super Speed ​​(Black Iron)]

[Ability description: Unlocked]

"Not unlocked?"

Looking at the series of unlocked prompts in [Black Iron Mark] except for the very beginning [Super Power], Colin couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

This was completely different from what he originally thought.

"It seems like the condensed mark is just the beginning."

Looking at the description of the [Super Power] column in the text, Colin quickly made a judgment.

Obviously, the reason why [Super Strength] is unlocked is closely related to its frequent display in comics, especially the description of throwing a tank mentioned in the text, which happens to be "Superman"

The plot that happened in the latest serialization.

As for the other abilities that have not been unlocked, they are obviously abilities that he has introduced in the beginning of the "Superman" comic, but the plot related to them has not yet been drawn in detail.

Because it is only a rough introduction and is not presented to readers in the form of comics, is it impossible to form a specific impression?

"Then if I directly let Superman push the planet in the comics, will his power also be increased to this extent?"

Looking at the only unlocked ability in front of him, Colin had this thought in his mind.

However, he quickly reacted.

Probably not. The black iron words marked behind each line of abilities seemed to indirectly remind Colin.

At present, all the abilities related to Superman that he can unlock are limited to the ability category of [Dark Iron].

In other words, even if Colin asked Superman to push the planet in the comics, the final result would probably be in vain.

Apart from leaving readers with questions, it has no other effect.

"So, we can only do it step by step..."

This situation reminded Colin of the evolution of characters in mythological stories, which seemed to be exactly the same as the situation he was facing now.

Many mythological characters that are well known to the public today are often very different from their original images. In the process of historical development and evolution, many new mythological stories have been added to them or they have been assimilated by other mythological stories. In the end,

It became what everyone sees today.

Even the authority of these mythical figures often becomes more and more complex through the spread of various stories.

However, the development of the times and the advancement of science and technology seem to have greatly accelerated this process. In the past, myths and legends could only be formed through oral transmission over a long period of time.

Nowadays, it has become much simpler. The existence of books, newspapers, comics and other media has made the channels of communication wider.

Thinking of this, Colin couldn't help but feel a little lucky. Fortunately, he had traveled to an era with relatively advanced technology, rather than a primitive society where people drank hair and blood.

Allow him to use the power of the media to create a 'new god' and gain abilities.
