Chapter 196 Huey's Work
Let’s not talk about the skill points for now.
After talking with Alister of the Gathering Church, Kevin continued to arrange and plan little by little according to his original goal.
There is still no clue about the potion that can make superhumans lose their abilities, so Kevin has no hope for the time being.
On the contrary, Huey’s hero costume has been made and he can do superhero work at any time.
“Not bad.”
In the forest organization, Kevin looked at Huey who changed into a tight-fitting costume and nodded with satisfaction.
Huey’s combat uniform was designed by the image design department of the Water Group, and Kevin provided the inspiration.
Because after testing, it was found that Huey can not only teleport with his own body matter, but also with other people’s body matter.
So Cardoza does not need to clone Huey’s body tissue, as long as he collects enough hair, he can make a hero uniform for Huey.
Although it is not clear why Huey cannot teleport sweaters and silk made of biological hair, it is enough as long as there is a piece of clothing to prevent Huey from running naked.
It is better for Huey to study his ability himself.
In short, the design department designed a set of clothes unique to Huey based on Huey's ability and using hair tissue.
Not only the outer uniform, but also the underwear inside was designed.
The overall style of the uniform looks a bit similar to the "Captain America version" of the Fantastic Four uniform, but the color is black and there is no number icon on the chest.
Although it was the first time to wear a hero uniform, Huey looked like a superhero at first glance after changing into the clothes.
"It feels... a bit weird..."
Huey looked down at his body.
Although there was not much fabric on the uniform, he also put on underwear. It was strange to think that everything on his body was made of other people's hair.
"At least it's better than running naked. Okay, let's try it first and see if we can teleport with clothes."
After looking at it, Kevin said to Huey.
Huey calmed down, nodded, and then activated his ability.
Accompanied by a special light sound, Huey and his clothes disappeared from Kevin's sight.
Then in the next second, Huey's figure appeared in the corner of the room.
"Wow!"
Huey, who used his ability again and could teleport with clothes, finally shouted excitedly.
Before, because every teleportation would turn into a naked state, Huey did not dare to use his ability in front of others.
Even in front of the black robe team.
At most, when he was alone, he used his ability to make himself feel good.
Even if Huey didn't say it, he would still feel a little sad in his heart because he had obtained superpowers and became the predetermined superhero, but there were various restrictions on the use of his abilities.
But now, after putting on the uniform, he can use his abilities without restraint. Huey finally experienced the pleasure of becoming a superhero and a superhuman.
This feeling is as refreshing as drinking a glass of ice cola on a hot day!
"Very good, then let's decide on your hero title, what do you want to call yourself?"
The ability and uniform are fine, so now the last question is, what will Huey be called after his debut.
Perhaps because he has been thinking about it these days, so when Kevin asked, Huey's answer almost blurted out:
"Flash! Uh... What do you think of this name?"
"...It seems to be the same as someone else's title, and I think 'Wonder Boy' is more suitable for you."
If Kevin remembered correctly, Huey's title in the comics was Wonder Boy. He thought that under the influence of the world's will, Huey would also give himself such a name.
But he didn't expect to be called Blink.
Although Blinking is indeed in line with the title of 'Blink', perhaps because he has watched too many X-Men, when he mentions Blink, Kevin always thinks of the female mutant who played a minor role in "Days of Future Past".
It just... doesn't seem to fit Huey.
"Wonder Boy... doesn't seem to be a bad choice?"
Huey murmured after hearing the title mentioned by Kevin.
He did think that his title was better, but since it was Kevin who gave it to him, Huey decided to respect the decision of his idol and boss.
"Then it's settled. From now on, you will be Wonder Boy. In the afternoon, I will let the public relations department issue a statement about your official debut, and then you can carry out hero activities."
After deciding on Huey's title, Kevin immediately began to plan Huey's debut activities.
Not all new heroes are like Annie, who debuted as members of the Seven-Man Team.
Most new heroes will be assigned to a city to perform heroic activities as local garrison heroes. When they gain enough fame and reputation, they will decide whether to accept notices, commercial performances, or make movies and create music.
Or directly become a candidate for the Seven-Man Team.
Of course, most superhumans do not have this qualification.
As a newcomer brought into the company by Kevin himself, Hughie should be treated well.
But what Kevin wants Hughie to do is to contact the Jizhong Church and become a pawn for him to infiltrate the Jizhong Church.
So... Kevin decided to let him be an eighteen-line hero first and get in touch with the Jizhong Church.
Originally, the group was prepared to promote Hughie because he was brought by Kevin.
But in the end, Kevin did not want Hughie to be too famous, which made the people in the group's publicity department very confused.
But the boss spoke, and as subordinates, they had to listen.
Just like that, two days later, without anyone knowing, an ordinary little transparent hero named Wonder Boy began his heroic activities.
And as expected, on the third day of Huey's heroic activities, people from the Gathering Church began to contact him.
Of course, the members of the Gathering Church did not reveal their identities to Huey right away, they were just tentatively contacting Huey.
If they hadn't handed Huey orange soda when they had nothing to do, Kevin probably wouldn't have paid attention to these guys.
"The Gathering Church's actions are faster than expected..."
Kevin, who was always paying attention to Huey's progress and knew that the Gathering Church had begun to contact Huey, felt a little depressed.
Although Huey's current reputation is not high, and the location of his heroic activities is also in a very remote city with little money, at first glance it seems that he was sent there because he offended someone.
But no matter what, he is also a new superhero.
He is a new hero who has only joined the Water Group for a few days.
Just after he became a hero, the Jizhong Church came over and tried to recruit him into the church. No matter how you look at it, this is a bit too much.
This is openly competing with the Water Group for control over superhumans.
Thinking of this, Kevin's perception of the Jizhong Church has become increasingly weak, and what surprised Kevin even more was that the Jizhong Church's "ambition" went beyond this.
Just a few days after Alister of the Jizhong Church and Kevin broke up, Newman called Kevin:
"Sir, someone from the Jizhong Church contacted me and said they wanted to cooperate with Congress. What do you think..."
Knowing that they could not get the benefits they wanted from Kevin, Alister turned around without hesitation and went to find Congress, which was openly against Water!
He also found Newman, who had always been against the Water Group!
What this means is conceivable.
"Don't worry about him for now, just keep him stable. If necessary... you can do something to him."
"...Alister Adana?"
"Yes, you know what you should do."
Kevin said coldly.
Maybe because Kevin's attitude was too kind, Alister thought Kevin was easy to talk to, so he dared to communicate with various forces unscrupulously, trying to let the Jizhong Church have more power.
But in fact, Kevin has never liked the Jizhong Church. He has a good attitude towards Alister only because the Jizhong Church is a good partner.
In dealing with the problem of superhumans, Kevin can use the Jizhong Church, but it does not mean that the Jizhong Church is indispensable.
Alister Adana is getting more and more excessive now. If Kevin lets it go, God knows whether he will ride on his head in the future.
It would be better to find an opportunity and let Newman kill him.
Let him return to his original destiny.
…
“Wonder Boy?”
Huey, who had just finished his heroic work, was about to relax in the bar with a drink and report his recent situation to Butcher, when he heard someone calling his heroic title.
When Huey was first called this, he was a little uncomfortable, but now he knew that he was being called the moment he heard the name.
Yes, he is no longer an ordinary person, he is the superhero Wonder Boy.
“You are…”
Huey turned around and looked at the person who called him.
This was a black man with a longbow on his back and a quiver with arrows fixed on his back.
It can be seen that this is also a superhero.
"Hawk Shooter, nice to meet you."
The black hero extended his hand to Huey, and Huey remembered that the other party was a superhero who was in charge of the same city as him.
His name was Hawk Shooter.
Although they were superheroes in the same city, Huey had not communicated with Hawk Shooter before.
Not to mention communication, even this was the first time they met.
Because their powers did not conflict, and the areas they were responsible for were also separated, the two would not have any communication before they were linked.
Therefore, Huey was very curious why Hawk Shooter came to him.
"I am also very happy to meet you... But I remember that we should not have linked up recently?"
During the few days he stayed in the group, Huey also learned some of the "inside stories" of the Water Group. Just like Annie, he got used to it in just a few days.
And fully understood the rules set by the Water Group.
Huey looked at Hawkshooter in surprise. Hawkshooter sat beside him and asked the bartender for a glass of wine. He said to Huey:
"No, I just happened to meet you here. I thought we were colleagues, so I came to meet you."
"So that's how it is..."
"You look shy?"
Seeing Huey's relieved look, Hawkshooter asked in surprise.
Huey held the glass, thought for a moment and answered:
"It's just... I'm not used to talking to strangers who greet me."
"So you're not from the academic school? What a coincidence, I'm not either."
The heroes within the Vought Group are actually divided into factions.
They are the academic school from Godokin College and the liberal school from the wild.
The representatives of the academic school need not be explained in detail, such as Locomotive, Queen Maeve, Deep Sea, and Invisible Man, all of whom graduated from Godokin University.
The representatives of the liberal school are Annie and Black.
As for Homelander, he does not belong to any faction.
He only belongs to the Vought Group.
And Hawkeye is obviously also a liberal, and now thinks that Huey is a liberal like him.
This is not difficult to distinguish, because as long as the superhero is not a graduate of Godokin University, he belongs to the liberal school.
