The Comprehensive Evolution of American Comics

In a daze, Bruce Wayne opened his eyes. The first thing he felt was pain all over his body, but he didn't even frown. After all, for him, pain was like morning wood, something he experienced every day.

Then, he sorted out what had happened in his mind. When he sat up and found himself lying in his own room, Bruce understood that someone had saved him.

The sound of the ancient wooden door opening startled Bruce, who was deep in thought. His body tensed for a moment, but he relaxed a little when he saw who it was.

"I thought you'd sleep a little longer," Dick said as he walked in with gauze and medicine. "I didn't expect you to wake up just while I was checking on Alfred."

"How's Alfred?" Bruce sat up. As the blanket slipped off his body, it revealed a muscular frame wrapped in bandages. Upon closer inspection, it wasn't hard to notice that there were many shallow marks on the exposed skin where bandages weren't wrapped, all left behind from healed old wounds.

"He's in better shape than you are," Dick said, placing the medicine on the nearby table. "But he's an old man after all. This ordeal will definitely require him to rest for a while."

"How are you, Dick?" Bruce asked worriedly. "Did I hurt you?"

"Yeah, but not as badly as during our training sessions," Dick said nonchalantly, but Bruce noticed that he was wearing an unseasonably long-sleeved shirt, as if to cover something up.

Bruce was silent for a moment, deciding in his heart that he must take the whole family to the hospital. He didn't expose Dick's concealment, but instead steered the conversation to another matter.

"How's the beast transformation incident going?"

Hearing Batman's words, Dick put on a sour face, pulled up a chair, and began to explain.

"What else could it be? Luthor somehow got his hands on a drug that can deal with the Starro-infected. As long as this drug is injected into people, it can force the Starro-infected out of their bodies. Luthor handed this drug over to the government, and they treated the were-people like they were injecting wild animals with tranquilizers, using special guns to treat them everywhere. In just 24 hours, all the were-people were taken care of."

"Because of this, the internet is now saying that the Justice League is useless, so many superheroes can't even compare to an ordinary person like Luthor."

Dick continued indignantly, "If you ask me, that Starro-infected was probably created by Luthor. This whole thing is a play he directed himself. You have to know that the beast transformation incident only happened less than three hours ago. It's impossible to develop such a powerful targeted drug in such a short time."

Bruce pondered. He knew very well what Dick was talking about. Three hours, even capturing the pathogen might take more than half that time, let alone developing a drug. It's simply a fantasy.

But thinking about this now is useless, because no matter what Luthor's purpose is, he has already achieved it. The most important thing right now is to give everyone in the Justice League who has been transformed into beasts a thorough examination to prevent any abnormalities in their bodies.

"Oh, right, there's one more thing," Dick said as if suddenly remembering something. "The queen of Paradise Island, Hippolyta, seems to be dead."

Bruce, who was about to get dressed, froze upon hearing this news.

————Separation line————

Yang Le, who had been busy all day, was now sitting in his beat-up car. He was using his beat-up car to analyze the N metal war hammer in front of him, while Starro was locked in a small fish tank.

Suitable water temperature, soft fine sand, and coral as decoration. Anyone who came would stop to take a look at the fish tank, but Starro refused to appreciate it. The little guy clamored that if Yang Le really treated it like an ordinary starfish, then it would definitely swallow Yang Le's head into its belly.

In response, Yang Le first poked Starro with a smile, and then, ignoring the latter's wails, resolutely threw it into the tank. Don't underestimate these glasses, they are all part of the beat-up car's body. Ordinary superhumans can't break it, let alone Starro, who is so weak that Yang Le's physical body (with the help of the beat-up car) can bully it?

Ignoring Starro's abuse, Yang Le devoted himself to the study of N metal. This thing is much more powerful than Marvel's vibranium. If you only talk about hardness, it's hard to say which one is better, but if you compare versatility, then N metal has more tricks.

Although vibranium, after research, can also be used for medical purposes, N metal itself has the ability to heal the user.

Not only that, but it also cancels gravity, allowing the user to fly, comprehensively enhances the user's physical fitness, reduces physical, energy, and magical damage, and even has a restraining effect on ghosts or magical creatures. And these are far from its limits. It can really be called a Swiss Army knife. Yang Le has long coveted this metal.

However, all of the above functions are not the main reason why Yang Le wants it, because these functions can actually be satisfied by the beat-up watch. The enhancement brought by N metal is not even a bonus, not enough to make Yang Le tempted.

The only reason Yang Le is eyeing N metal is that the purest N metal has the ability to make the wearer immortal.

Yang Le has actually been thinking about how to improve his various abilities, but because of the omnitrix, any method involving genetic modification will not work, because healthy genes are the most basic principle of the omnitrix. If Yang Le modifies his genes, then the beat-up watch will refresh them after transforming.

Therefore, strengthening that does not target his own genes is what Yang Le should be thinking about, and N metal is currently Yang Le's best choice. Why do I say that? Because it is easy to obtain.

The armors and weapons of the Hawkman couple are all made of N metal. Even if Yang Le pulls off a bird feather, it is also N metal, so Yang Le actually had the idea of putting a sack on Hawkman and beating him up, and then taking the opportunity to steal the metal.

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ said ⊥ is ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥⊥ book ⊥⊥ bar ⊥⊥ first ⊥ hair!

After all, Hawkman's strength is actually just so-so, not as good as the top, but more than enough for the bottom. Stealing things from him is much easier than stealing things from Batman.

However, this sudden beast transformation incident helped Yang Le. How could he give up such a good opportunity?

Hawkman couple and Big Barda have all passed out, and only Wonder Woman might know that he stole the N metal. Yang Le has no choice, after all, who would have thought that Wonder Woman would wake up so quickly.

Yang Le can only comfort himself in his heart, Batman has taken so many things and no one has come to him, he just took a hammer, it's probably not a big deal.

However, unexpectedly, while Yang Le was still flirting with the hammer, a guest came uninvited.

Hearing the gentle knock on the door, Yang Le, surprised that someone would come to him so late, looked at the beat-up car's access control and saw Wonder Woman standing outside the door, looking lost.
