Marvel's Superman

While the Strategic Science Reserve embarked on their journey to London, and Rogers was dragged by the senator to be the national war bonds ambassador, Luke remained in Brooklyn, New York.

As Carter had said, he had another mission.

​​

After that talk in the infirmary, Colonel Philips told Luke about a highly classified and surprising plan!

Even with a Super Soldier leading the team, the degree of difficulty is huge!

Colonel Phillips had given the Howling Commandos to Luke, it was more than just adding some boost.

As the only Super Soldier available, no one was more suitable to carry out the plan than Luke!

In other words, the Colonel needed him!

That's why the desire to nurture him flowed out!

Luke himself isn't surprised by this.

This is one of the reasons why he didn't hide his excellent performance in Camp Lehigh.

Interpersonal communication in society was essentially the exchange of interests between each other.

Being able to be used by others, in a sense, is also the embodiment of value.

In his last life, there was an internet meme, 'Since I became a waste, no one can take advantage of me anymore', which did get more than a few likes. But it was actually quite reasonable after careful consideration.

With the failure of the Super Soldier Project, the status of the Strategic Science Reserve obviously declined.

Funds were cut, and personnel were mobilized from the rear to the front lines ...

These series of actions indicated that Colonel Phillips wanted to make the Strategic Science Reserve demonstrate the necessity of its existence.

If not, then SSR will likely face the prospect of being eliminated.

This wasn't due to any schemes or underhanded measures by political rivals.

In wartime, the allocation of all resources must be based on value and efficiency.

"Did the Colonel let me lead the Howling Commandos to restore the Strategic Science Reserve's status? I think my strength is strong enough to play any current plot character on my own."

Luke was lying on the hotel bed, staring at the stiff uniform hanging on the coat rack.

"Captain Cavill... "

He muttered with a smile on his face.

This is one of the benefits given by Colonel Phillips, it was also the benefit of leading the Howling Commandos.

Otherwise, who would want to accept a new recruit as their superior?

It took Luke less than a month to go from Private Third Class to Captain.

The speed is amazing!

"If I really did what Colonel Philips asked me to do, not to mention a Captain, it would be possible for me to become the fastest promoted officer in history. When the time comes, if I want to get into politics, I might be able to follow Eisenhower's path and move into the White House."

[Editor note: The above sentence may differ a bit from the actual meaning. All fault's mine.]

Luke's mind continued to think, outlining a bright blueprint for the future.

A few moments later, he couldn't help but laugh out loud, laughing at himself, "I seem to be thinking a little too far ahead. "

He was just promoted to Captain and was about to lead the Howling Commandos. Getting rid of his unnecessary thoughts, he returned to the question of his own ability.

"I'm Superman now - although I'm still a less powerful version."

Luke opened the character panel and looked at the data presented above.

He had the same strength as when Superman first came out.

Running faster than a full-powered car, punching through thick steel plates with one fist, dynamic vision that could even catch a bullet's trajectory.

Luke's muscle density far exceeded that of ordinary people, making it difficult for small caliber bullets and cold weapons to cause fatal damage to him.

It could be said that he had a body of steel, invulnerable to guns and swords - not considering heavy artillery weapons.

"LV1 Civilian Superman Card. The upper limit is probably an evolution of physical qualities. Being able to grab a bullet with my bare hands, and block explosions with my body. "

Luke found that if he wanted to unlock 'Flight' and "Laser Vision', he needed the LV2 Soldier Superman card.

It looks like when Superman first appeared, he wasn't that powerful, and his powers became increasingly perfect later on - so strong that a single punch broke apart the Sixth Dimension!

Seeing that there were many Superman Cards waiting to be unlocked in the conscious space, Luke suddenly felt that maybe he could evolve to that step one day.

"It's a beautiful world without Batman and kryptonite..."

With this in mind, Luke closed his eyes and fell asleep.

...

Old Joseph's Tavern, Brooklyn.

When Luke walked in, the people who he was scheduled to meet were already sitting at the corner table.

"Timothy Alloysius Cadwaller Dugan ... Oh. My. God. Such a long name! I would rather call you Dum Dum Dugan!"

Luke beckoned for a dark beer, pulled out a chair and sat down.

He didn't say too many pleasantries, nor did he deliberately act warm.

Dugan is a typical soldier with strong features and a handlebar mustache.

After seeing his commanding officer, a guy who was a bit too young, his expression was a bit gloomy.

The word 'young' often implied a lack of experience in a crisis-ridden battlefield, without having gone through several wars.

It also meant that giving your back to such a person could be a bad thing.

"Captain Cavill... You've been promoted quite quickly. I heard that you were a Private Third Class a month ago?"

Dugan sneered. In his opinion, Luke must have climbed the ranks though someone underhanded connections.

Otherwise, how else could a new recruit be directly promoted to Captain?!
