American Comics: Multiverse of Madness

Noisy fragments of thoughts vibrated in the lamplighter's mind, and complex information was forced into his spiritual world by some irresistible presence.

The lamplighter only felt that his head was being cut in half with a saw, and then the other party roughly threw a video player in, and then slammed it on his head.

He couldn't even gather his attention. Under the influence of the severe pain, the lamplighter instantly lost all control of his body and could only watch various gorgeous colors appear in front of him.

At first, he couldn't understand it, or he was still resisting those sights, but slowly, his spirit gradually found its home, because he saw a guy who looked exactly like him.

"Hello, my name is Bobby."

The young man stretched out his hand.

"I am a naughty boy"

Opposite the young man, a pretty girl smiled and held his hand.

However, the girl's hand was wearing a weird glove.

The perspective is fixed on the scene where the two boys and girls meet, and the lamplighter seems to be involved in it.

He saw a school built specifically for people with super powers, called Xavier Academy for Geniuses. What was different from Godokin University was that students here would come here to live and study since childhood.

In this family-like environment, students living here have the correct outlook on life since childhood, and they grow up healthily under the guidance of teachers, thereby mastering and controlling their own abilities.

The guy who looks the same as himself is named Bobby, and he is also a superpower. The only difference is that the other person uses ice energy and can directly release frost without any external force.

What surprised the lamplighter was that he actually saw a person here who had exactly the same superpower as himself.

That was a blond boy who had the ability to control flames, and the opponent also needed a lighter to use his abilities. Without flames, he was no different from an ordinary person.

The images flashed by like a revolving lantern.

He saw Magneto, who wanted to forcibly transform ordinary people into superpowers in order to allow superpowers to rule the world. He saw that he wanted to allow superpowers to better integrate into human society, and he did not hesitate to fight with his old friends. Meet Professor X.

At the same time, he also saw the fear that humans had towards people with super powers, so he created the sentinel robot, massacred and destroyed the group of people with super powers, and finally prompted the two leaders to stand on the same front.

Each of those pictures seemed to have nothing to do with the lamplighter, but for some reason, he was able to find his own shadow in them.

What is a hero?

The lamplighter lowered his head and panted heavily.

He just felt like his head was in a mess now, with all kinds of emotions popping up constantly. Countless emotions and memories collided with each other, making it impossible for him to conceive of this problem.

"I just want my father to be proud of me."

So said the lamplighter.

Zhang Yi, who was standing in front of the lamplighter, did not speak when he heard the words. Instead, he stood there calmly, staring closely at the poor man under him who was in the midst of a breakdown in his outlook on life.

After a pause, the lamplighter continued.

"I was a genius when I was a child. You know, like a child prodigy, I awakened my ability when I was very young and burned down my house. My father was very excited at the time. He thought I was the chosen one.

From then on, he started training me on how to make my superpowers stronger. The more things I burned, the happier he became, and I just wanted to make him happy, that's all. "

Having said this, the lamplighter slowly raised his head, looked at Zhang Yi, and said in a deep voice.

"Is justice and evil important to a child? My childhood was spent in burning ruins. I can't go back."

"You are never afraid of being late for school. As long as you want, you can take another path, a path that truly belongs to a hero." Zhang Yi said calmly. "Didn't you also see those heroes from other universes?"

"Yes, they." The lamplighter's eyes were dazed, as if he was recalling what he had seen and heard just now.

Bobby, Rugrats, Storm, Logan and Lamplighter suddenly wanted to exchange lives with themselves in another world. If they were born there and if they had such a group of family and friends, would the outcome be different?

After pondering for a long time, his eyes refocused and he looked directly at Zhang Yi and asked.

"who are you?"

"Let me introduce you again." Zhang Yi casually unlocked the lamplighter's handcuffs and replied. "I am Witch Crow, a scavenger from other parallel universes."

Listening to Zhang Yi's words, the lamplighter showed a true expression.

If it were before, it would have been impossible for him to believe that the guy in front of him was a visitor from some parallel universe. For the lamplighter, the parallel universe only existed in the material created by the director for the purpose of filming the movie.

Whenever directors encounter a bottleneck in their thinking, whenever the hero's story cannot continue to unfold, they will always pull out the so-called parallel universe to continue to stir up the popularity, and harvest the last bit of traffic from fans.

So in the eyes of the lamplighter, the parallel universe is just a joke.

But things were different now. After seeing the memories Zhang Yi passed on to him, he became curious about the world outside the world for the first time since he was a child.

The same superpower, the same environment, why, why has this world embarked on this dark and profound path?

"Did you find it?"

Zhang Yi patted his shoulder and said.

"Although I hate to say this, the growth of any hero requires all kinds of hardships. Superheroes are not a job or profession for them, it is their responsibility."

Hearing this, the lamplighter seemed to have a clear understanding in his heart. He gritted his teeth and felt an inexplicable anger welling up in his body. Now he just wanted to vent it.

What a bullshit Vought Group, what a bullshit Super Seven. I have spent half my life, but what have I got? Nothing. There are waves of emerging superpowers, and I am just trash that has been eliminated. That’s all.

My own efforts became nothing at this moment.

In order to protect the privacy of the Vought Group and to deal with those who hindered the development of the Vought Group, he did so much dirty work and killed so many innocent people.

Damn it, my goal is obviously to be a superhero!

Everything has changed. The dignified lamplighter, a member of the Super Seven, is just a dog of the Walter Group in the final analysis. He is like a dispensable pawn who will be abandoned at any time.

Does anyone care about their own thoughts? Does anyone care about their own emotions?

When he fell into guilt for accidentally killing Mallory's grandchildren, what others were doing, whether it was the Walt Group or his own father, they didn't care at all, as if they were not as important as they thought.

There is no shortage of superpowers in this world, and there is no shortage of popularity. For the Walt Group, if they don't want to continue, there are countless people who want to climb up.

Anyway

The next one is more obedient, isn't it?

"You just said that your goal is to make your father proud of you, but in fact, he treats you as a tool.

All parents are the same. After they accepted the Vought Group's agreement, they only had expectations and oppression for their children.

Everyone does not want their children to become great, but in this process, they seem to have forgotten how to train their children to become useful people to society. "

After a pause, Zhang Yi looked directly at the lamplighter and asked.

"Tell me, what are you thinking now?"

"I"

The lamplighter murmured to himself. He sighed heavily and shook his head.

"I want my father to give me my childhood back."
