Marvel: Superman Strength in a World of Heroes

Carl never intended to be the kind of hero who wiped out every villain.

He just didn't care enough.

He acted purely on instinct and mood.

If someone pissed him off or dared to provoke him?

He'd deal with them

Without hesitation.

Without mercy.

It didn't matter who they were.

Civilians, billionaires, heroes, villains,

In his eyes, everyone was the same.

The only thing that mattered was himself.

If he felt like doing something, he'd do it.

Simple as that.

Carl turned to Kingpin and said calmly,

"Since you've bought your life"

", and agreed to help recover the money,"

"I'll be leaving for now. I've got other matters to handle."

"As for this guy..."

He gestured toward Daredevil.

"I'll let him go today. Do whatever you want with him later."

Kingpin wiped the cold sweat from his brow and bowed slightly.

"Of course. Safe travels, sir."

Carl gave a slight nod and turned to leave.

But then, Daredevil suddenly shouted behind him.

"How can you act like this?!"

"Kingpin is the most dangerous criminal in New York!"

"You've got this kind of power, why extort him instead of stopping him?"

Carl glanced over, face expressionless.

"No reason."

"If you need one, "

"I felt like it."

Wham!

Carl kicked him.

Whoosh, !

Daredevil's body flew backward and splashed into the sea with a loud splash!

And in the next instant,

Carl vanished.

With a single blur, he shot into the sky and disappeared without a trace.

Kingpin stood there silently, staring at the spot where Carl vanished.

A cold sweat soaked his entire back.

He… he could fly?

Bullseye never mentioned that!

Who the hell is this Carl Smith?!

All their intelligence said he was just an ordinary man.

But now?

If anyone dared tell Kingpin that Carl was still "normal"…

He'd personally put a bullet in their head!

Normal? His ass.

Lasers from the eyes?

Flight?

Vaporizing a man with a glance?

That was "normal"?!

After what felt like an eternity, Kingpin finally exhaled and relaxed, just a little.

At that moment, a few of his suited men cautiously approached.

"Boss… should we deal with Daredevil?"

Kingpin turned toward the sea, then glanced back at them.

"…No."

He still remembered Carl's words.

So he chose to leave Daredevil be.

Instead, he barked,

"Move the shipments. Now!"

He still owed Carl eight billion dollars.

And he needed every cent he could scrape together.

Strangely, Kingpin didn't even feel that much resentment.

In fact…

He kind of respected Carl.

The law of the jungle.

That's how the underworld worked.

The strong ruled, the weak obeyed.

Carl was simply stronger.

There was nothing to argue.

Besides, the money he paid wasn't for humiliation,

It was the price of survival.

Sure, the price was steep…

But he was still breathing.

That was worth something.

"Yes, sir!"

His men replied quickly and started loading cargo.

Kingpin nodded slightly, satisfied.

At least they had guts.

Even after witnessing Bullseye get melted alive

Not a single one had fled.

That kind of loyalty deserved recognition.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly

Under the flickering warehouse lights, Kingpin noticed something odd.

Every one of his suited men…

Their pants were soaked.

All of them.

Not one dry.

Don't tell me…

Yep.

They had all wet themselves.

Back when Carl used his heat vision on Bullseye,

They'd been standing right there.

They saw it all.

Their minds went blank.

Their legs gave out.

Their bladders lost control.

Only two had tried to run.

The rest?

Collapsed on the ground, paralyzed in fear.

Not because they were brave.

Because their legs simply refused to move.

Carl had noticed too.

But he hadn't said a word.

And honestly, he didn't care.

After leaving New York harbor, Carl flew straight to Skye's apartment.

Not his own place.

Why?

Sleeping with a cute girl was better than sleeping alone.

He checked the time.

11:46 PM.

Time to call it a night.

Just as he was about to drift off, he suddenly remembered,

He hadn't done his daily check-in in the group chat.

[Daily Check-in: 10 Points Obtained]

It only took a second.

No reason not to.

So, with Skye nestled in his arms, his consciousness drifted into the chat…

『What Do I Do, My Sister's a Chuunibyou?』: By the way, Tsunade-chan, you've met Carl-senpai, right?

『Princess of the Senju』: That's right.

『What Do I Do, My Sister's a Chuunibyou?』: What's he like? Personality? Looks? I'm dying to know! curious.jpg

『King of the Heavenly Blade』: Also curious +1

『Princess of the Senju』: Carl-kun has black hair and black eyes. Very handsome!

『Princess of the Senju』: And he's super kind. A really warm person.

『What Do I Do, My Sister's a Chuunibyou?』: Oho~ Really now?

『Princess of the Senju』: Of course!

『What Do I Do, My Sister's a Chuunibyou?』: Then… got a photo? Pretty please? 🥺

『King of the Heavenly Blade』: Yes! Photo drop! Photo drop!

『Princess of the Senju』: Uh… I don't have one…

『What Do I Do, My Sister's a Chuunibyou?』: Aww, that's a shame…

『King of the Heavenly Blade』: Sadness…

『What Do I Do, My Sister's a Chuunibyou?』: Maybe we should @Carl-senpai and ask him directly?

『King of the Heavenly Blade』: Isn't that kinda bold?

『What Do I Do, My Sister's a Chuunibyou?』: Come on~ it's just members getting to know each other!

Carl skimmed through the messages.

Nothing important.

Just casual banter.

Although… the topic did shift to him.

『Princess of the Senju』: Carl-kun, you're here?

『What Do I Do, My Sister's a Chuunibyou?』: Welcome, senpai! @God Among Men

『King of the Heavenly Blade』: Whoa, anyone else notice? Carl-senpai's check-in gave him 10 points again!

『What Do I Do, My Sister's a Chuunibyou?』: For real?! Dang, you're right!

『What Do I Do, My Sister's a Chuunibyou?』: Jealous. jealous.jpg

『King of the Heavenly Blade』: +1

『Princess of the Senju』: +2

『God Among Men』: Just let it go. shrug.jpg

『God Among Men』: Pure luck.

『God Among Men』: Completely random, I swear.

『Princess of the Senju』: 666, Carl-kun is amazing!

『What Do I Do, My Sister's a Chuunibyou?』: Pfft, "luck," huh?

『What Do I Do, My Sister's a Chuunibyou?』: I've never gotten 10 points from a check-in…

『King of the Heavenly Blade』: Same! At this rate I'll never afford a Mangekyō Sharingan! crying.jpg

『Princess of the Senju』: Stay calm. Maybe the system will give us more ways to earn points soon~

『King of the Heavenly Blade』: I sure hope so…

『God Among Men』: I don't need my points right now. Let me liven things up a bit.

[God Among Men has sent a red envelope.]

Contents: 4,028 points.

Four envelopes of 1,000.

The leftover 28 was just for fun.

Carl didn't mind.

He had over 96,000 points left anyway.

Nothing in the shop cost less than 4,000 these days.

『What Do I Do, My Sister's a Chuunibyou?』 received 1,003 points.

『King of the Heavenly Blade』 received 998 points.

『Princess of the Senju』 received 1,207 points.

『What Do I Do, My Sister's a Chuunibyou?』: Hehe~ a thousand points! I can buy so much now!

『King of the Heavenly Blade』: Tch… I got the least…

『Princess of the Senju』: Not true. One envelope's still unopened, and it's even smaller…

Carl blinked.

Wait.

Someone didn't claim their envelope?

The Commander of the Wall Guard hadn't even checked in.

Weird.
