In American comics, drawing cards reveals wave-particle duality

Half a week has passed since the captaincy succession ceremony of the seven-man team.

During this half week, Jonathan and Kate have been busy, traveling around America to give speeches, attracting a lot of attention and traffic and keeping it stable.

During this period, their hot search terms remained in the top ten for a long time, and their surrounding toys were sold out. Everyone from 80-year-old women to newborn babies knew about this super-British CP.

And this is just Jonathan's first step in joining the Sevens, "getting his feet on the ground."

You know, if you want to survive perfectly in a team of seven, the necessary public support is absolutely essential.

As long as there is support, there will be traffic, and your position among the public will become more stable.

However, in addition to external support, internal influences are equally important.

How do we define this “internal influence”?

This brings us to the "assimilation" plan that Jonathan will implement after joining the Seven:

May I ask, what is the most valuable thing in "The Boys"?

It's Compound No. 5, not some funny, playful superhero.

And what is the perfect way to obtain compound number five?

Yes, become a member of the Seven, or even the leader of the Seven... Once you succeed, you will get partial authority to manage Compound No. 5.

So, having this authority, you must take full control of it and look for opportunities to monopolize these number five compounds?

No, no, no... In fact, the only real means is to have perfect control and have all management authority.

Rather than doing sneaky things, let the entire Water Group revolve around you and produce Compound No. 5 continuously... Isn't that great?

Therefore, Jonathan wants to further expand his ambitions and infiltrate his influence into every aspect of Water Company, and finally complete the behind-the-scenes operation of keeping the outer shell and replacing the core.

It just so happens that Jonathan, who became the captain of the seven-man team, has the ability to carry out influential reforms from top to bottom.

What is up?

Of course, it starts from within the seven-member team.

----split line----

Sevens Beacon, Ladies' Room.

"Maeve, what do you think of this new captain?"

In front of the sink, Starlight Anne, who had just finished using the toilet, ran into Queen Maeve, who had just come in and was washing her hands, and asked.

There was a lot of publicity about the new captain and Kate. Every day when she got home from get off work, she could see posters stuffed at her doorstep. She had been curious about this for a long time.

Regarding the position of captain... Homelander has been in that position for a long time, and this person happens to be Homelander's former CP, so maybe he has some special insights on this.

“It’s hard to say, Starlight… As you know, most of the seven-member team members recruited by Walter are of mixed quality, and most of them are targeting profits and traffic.

For now, apart from you and me, let's count Black... Look at the invisible man who was always hiding in the ladies' room and peeping, and even the deep sea."

Having said that, Queen Maeve paused and looked at Xingguang meaningfully.

"vomit……"

When Xingguang, who was being watched, heard the word "deep sea", some extremely bad memories seemed to flash through his mind. His throat felt sweet and he subconsciously wanted to dry heave.

“So, instead of hoping that he really becomes what the outside propaganda says…it’s better to hope that he doesn’t become an arrogant and conceited scum like the people in my country.”

Queen Maeve said calmly.

"Then...what about his proposal to reorganize the Seven-Man Team?"

"He is the captain, so he naturally has the power to manage the team members. As for whether he is just trying to show his power or being a dictator like the Chinese, it is unknown. Let's keep watching."

"Anyway... we have long been trapped in the deep pit of the Seven-Man Team and it is difficult to get out... What do you think, Starlight?"

After saying that, Queen Maeve waved her hands, grabbed her changed battle clothes and walked out of the bathroom, leaving Starlight standing there alone with a frown on her face, thinking thoughtfully.

night.

Huey and Starlight came to a river for a walk.

Today is Hughie's first official appearance since he was released from the wanted list.

But... the atmosphere at this moment was not as relaxed as imagined. Instead, both of them had sullen faces, and no one knew what they were thinking.

"Huey, the clues from Gecko have been cut off... I don't know why, but since a few days ago, all the sources of information about Compound No. 5 have been cut off, and all the researchers involved have been urgently recalled."

"Yes, including the lab worker Gecko you told me about."

"Emm...Annie, it's okay. Let's see if there is any chance and look for other channels."

"No, Huey, the situation is more serious this time... I can hardly get any information about Compound No. 5 now."

"If I continue to investigate, I will soon be suspected of being a mole."

"Huey, tell me...is all this worth it? Now the new captain has taken office. You know, his slogans are not in vain.

The oaths we pledged were indeed implemented within the group... In fact, I feel that the situation is slowly changing."

When Huey heard this, he suddenly recalled the scene of Jonathan's speech in front of the White Temple a few days ago.

On that day, colorful flags were flying at the scene, and tens of thousands of people were cheering with their arms raised, the sound was deafening.

As the new captain, Jonathan actually revealed some of the "darkness" within the Vought Group and showed the ugly faces of some superhumans to the public.

Originally, this should have caused angry resistance from the masses, but Jonathan's pledge to "eradicate the ugliness and rectify the Team Seven" directly changed the public mood.

This operation, while lowering the status of the untouchable superhuman, also maximizes their closeness to ordinary people.

After all, from the time he received the first call until now, Hughie's impression of Jonathan was not bad. He could even say that he had some hidden expectations deep in his heart.

Although he didn't know what this expectation was, as he continued to pay attention to Jonathan, a certain desire in his heart became stronger and stronger.

He recalled what Jonathan had said to him on the phone but hadn't told Butcher -

"Hughie, I admire you very much. As an ordinary person, you can be so determined to seek revenge. If you want help in the future, you can come to me."

Huey had only felt the feeling of being recognized by others from Starlight so far, but Jonathan, as a superhuman, would pay attention to ordinary people like him...

Don't talk about conspiracy nonsense. He is just an ordinary person who changed his career halfway through. He is definitely a worthless fighter...

Whenever any superhuman plotted against him, Hughie would happily thank others for thinking highly of him.

Besides, who wants to be an insignificant waste forever?

Huey glanced at Annie, secretly competing with himself.

When it comes to sleeping skills, his girlfriend is always better than him. He is always the one who is exhausted, while his girlfriend is still full of energy and still not satisfied... Where is his dignity as a man?

No, this can't go on any longer...

Thinking of this, Hughie seemed to have made up his mind, and his gaze on Anne became firm.

"Uh… Hey! Huey, what do you want to do? We're still outside!"

"Well……"

An exclusive private room in a high-end Western restaurant in Ohio.

In the box, the lights were colorful and soft, and blues music was melodious.

On the table, there was a wide variety of luxurious dishes, including Kobe beef, white truffle risotto, gold-leaf matsutake mushrooms... but there was no seafood.

"Hehe... Wu Jin, are you satisfied with the environment here? If the dishes are not enough, I can order more... And, I also brought a bottle of Henry IV today, which I can open now."

Under the forgiveness-colored tights, Shenhai, who looked stiff and awkward, rubbed his hands nervously, then spoke to Jonathan in the most flattering tone with a slightly obscene smile.

"Today... Firstly, we are here to welcome the captain to Ohio for his speech and to welcome him. Secondly... hey, I want to get in touch with you more and learn more skills from you, captain."

Jonathan felt a little amused as he looked at the vulgar deep sea in front of him.

This funny guy who has always played a comedic role in the original novel is actually not a bad person. At most, he is a little vain, likes to do bad things with good intentions, and is a little stupid in doing things...

Apart from making Starlight eat a banana at the beginning, failing every time when rescuing his ocean friends, and killing his own octopus girlfriend in the fourth season, this guy really hasn't done anything bad.

Deep Sea's ability is to communicate with marine life, and possesses abilities similar to DC Aquaman such as underwater survival and extreme swimming.

But these are totally incompatible with mainstream abilities, so he is usually considered to be a person with extremely low sense of presence in the seven-man team.

Even the locomotive has a greater presence than him.

Therefore, he was extremely insecure inside and wanted to gain the respect and admiration of others through certain actions, but he did not expect to do the above-mentioned unbelievable behavior.

Later, after he was exiled to Ohio due to the scandal of feeding Starlight a banana, he fell into a period of lows.

After realizing that he was abandoned by Vought Corporation, he shaved off all the hair on his body.

But...he is still hairy now.

"You don't have to be so polite, Shenhai. We are all members of the Seven-Man Team... But I guess this time, you didn't just come to eat with me, right?"

Shenhai, who was once financially strapped, was able to suddenly take out so much money to treat our guests to a sumptuous dinner. You have to know that even our fellow countrymen don't have this kind of treatment.

"Uh hehe..."

After Jonathan exposed his purpose, Shen Hai was embarrassed and fell into a state of bewilderment...

There was no other way, so he had to bite the bullet and pour Jonathan a glass of wine, then sat down and said with an embarrassed smile:

"Actually, Captain...I want to be back on the Seven."
