Marvel’s Superman

"Godfather, that... guy named Clark, he has a problem!"

Lex, who returned to the mansion, sat beside the fireplace and said to Luke, who was lying on the sofa, languidly, without the dignity of his elders.

Although the two have only met once, they have not even exchanged contact information.

But he was impressed with Clark, full of... good feelings.

Whoops, can't say that.

To be precise, it should be curiosity.

"What have you discovered, Detective Luther?"

Luke was thinking in his head how to explain his identity to his little cousin. After his thoughts were interrupted by Lex, he asked with a smile.

He vaguely felt that the current script seemed to have been read somewhere.

The small town boy Clark, his first love, Lana, and the early appearance of Lex Luthor... inexplicably created a familiar feeling.

"I'm sure that Porsche hit Clark, but—he wasn't hurt! And saved me from the water!"

Lex tossed his hair and said suspiciously.

"That's a Porsche! Collapsed the bridge!"

At this time, he does not yet have the sign of a strong man, so he lacks the "super smart" buff bonus.

Kong has a keen observation, but cannot capture the trajectory of the truth.

If you switch to Lex with a bald head, I am afraid that you will immediately notice something wrong.

"Isn't that a good thing?"

Luke naturally knew why, but he didn't specify.

"Don't you want to kill innocent passers-by because of high-speed driving, and then go to jail - although it is not necessarily, with the help of the legal team hired by the Lex Group, you may only be considered to have mental problems and thus be acquitted, Sent to a well-conditioned nursing home for a few months or so."

"But in any case, this will be a conspicuous stain on your resume."

"You know, your father still thinks that the Luther family can have a president."

Luke jokingly laughed, he remembered Lex Luthor in a certain timeline, and it seemed that he had actually been a president.

It is said that the mantra of the other party is "No one knows Superman better than me", he likes to play the accordion, and he always talks about the fate of all mankind...

Wait, there seems to be something wrong?

Suddenly, he met a certain blond leader.

"……president."

Lexton was silent.

He too, like Clark, was in a period of some kind of rebellion.

He disapproves of the teachings of his parents, and he is full of confidence in his own abilities.

While longing for freedom, I hate external constraints.

In a nutshell, it is middle school.

"He always likes to plan my future, but he never asks me what I think."

Lex snorted softly, deeply dissatisfied with his father's paternalistic, domineering style.

In contrast, the young godfather in front of him was much more forgiving.

This is one of the reasons why Lex sincerely respects each other.

"If you want to show your skills and prove yourself, then you have to make some achievements."

Luke smiled, the face half-dark in the firelight from the fireplace.

"When others see you, they no longer call you 'Lionel Luthor's son', but Lex Luthor. Only then can you successfully get rid of the shadow of your father and exist as an independent individual."

Lex pondered, he did have the idea of ​​starting his own business.

Coming to this town is not just for vacation, but also to start from those abandoned factories.

The meteorite shower seventeen years ago destroyed the lives of many people, and even destroyed the industrial development of the town.

This is a great opportunity to revive and create greater glories.

"Godfather, what do you think I should do?"

Lex humbly asked for advice.

Sitting in front of him was the most famous young upstart in the metropolis, a genius investor who was convinced even by his own father.

Described by a word often mentioned by the outside media, it is "the person who foresees the future".

"Agriculture and manufacturing are the backbone of Kansas' economy. There are many farms and ranches in the town, but there is a lack of related industries, such as food processing, meat processing and other manufacturing plants."

Luke pouted and said casually.

"Take those abandoned factories, reopen them, and run them."

"At that time, it will not only provide enough jobs for the town, win the praise of the municipal government, select an honorary title such as the "Top Ten Outstanding Youth", but also use the physical industry to radiate to a deeper and wider field."

Lex's eyes lit up. He used to be more involved in the financial securities market, and he didn't have a deep understanding of this experience.

"Godfather, do you have any ideas? We can work together!"

Young people's minds are turning very fast, and his father will definitely not allow him to "do something wrong", but it is different if he takes the godfather and borrows the other party's name.

"I don't like touching money, much less money, Lex."

Luke waved his hand and smiled slightly: "My happiest days were living in the basement of the Metropolis and earning $91 a month."

"..."

Lex was silent, he was used to the strange words that came out of his godfather's mouth.

For example, "set a small goal this year to earn 100 million yuan", "making money is just an incidental thing, and the happiness that money brings to me is not even 5%", "I am blind and can't distinguish those Hollywood female stars are beautiful or not” and so on.

"Godfather, then you are here just for vacation?"

Lex still didn't give up. He didn't think that a big man like Luke, whose time was precious, would go to this backward and conservative town to play and relax.

"I'm here to investigate and collect meteorites."

Luke shrugged and said softly.

"You should also know that this town used to be called the 'Cream Corn Capital' until the meteorite shower that shocked Kansas, and now it has been renamed the 'Land of the Meteorite'. This is all to increase its fame and attract tourists."

"But anyway, there are indeed a lot of residual meteorites here."

He has already selected and convened a group of archaeological teams, and will soon be exploring various parts of the town to collect those meteorite fragments.

When you think about it, Clark is really unlucky enough.

As a Kryptonian, he actually lives in a small town full of kryptonite.

"I never knew, Godfather, that you are interested in archaeology and meteorites."

Lex was a little surprised, although from the outside, Luke did have some strange hobbies.

For example, female stars in philately Hollywood.

Targets like Jodie Foster, Sharon Stone, and Demi Moore have been popular.

There are also Nicole Kidman, Charlize Theron, etc. who are not currently famous.

The most surprising thing is that he also has a special hobby of investing in movies and making cameo appearances.

"It's normal for hobbies to expand appropriately."

Luke smiled. He could explain why the American comics studio suddenly became a Hollywood Playboy script.

The first is that before my little cousin came to Earth, life was boring and there was no fun.

As we all know, the DC universe is built and changed around Superman, and Clark Kent is the top priority - although he always loses to the screenwriter's father - I always have a plan - Batman, but it does not hinder the status of the little cousin .

Otherwise, Dr. Manhattan could not have been particularly interested, and conducted unprecedented observational experiments.

A world without Superman means no superheroes and supervillains.

Therefore, in order to pass the time, Luke can only develop a personal interest out of his hobby of film art.

And he is very principled, and he is an overnight love with every female star.

Even if a few of them admired his technology, Luke would never miss it.

Therefore, there is still a resounding name of "heart arsonist" in Hollywood circles.

"Okay, Lex, let's stop here before dinner."

Luke stopped the conversation, got up and said.

Clark, who he guessed back, would continue to question his adoptive father Jonathan's doubts about his identity because of the accident.

At that time, it should be the chance for Krypton's big cousin to debut.

"My stupid little cousin, it's time to get down to business."

Luke thought with a smile.
