After the Coast City incident, discussions about the Justice League began to proliferate online.
Especially against the backdrop of official incompetence, the Justice League's image appeared even more heroic.
Kuaishou's "Rich N" coined a very interesting term for these metahumans: "Superheroes"!
What was surprising was that even the authorities didn't know the origins of these Superheroes, but this "Rich N" knew them like the back of his hand.
Vanguard Technology also showed great respect. Seeing that Superheroes had become a nationwide topic,
it even set up a ranking section for popular voting for every Superhero who had appeared in "Rich N's" live broadcasts.
The undisputed top spot went to the Superhero who accomplished the feat of "face-tanking a nuclear explosion." According to relevant information, his name was Shazam, a magic Guardian deity.
It's unclear what background this "Rich N" had. Not only did he know Shazam's name, but he even knew the meaning behind it.
So, everyone who read his introduction learned that Shazam's powers came from six deities. People just didn't quite understand why it was five Greek gods plus Solomon?
Wasn't Solomon a Jewish king?
He didn't seem to be related to the Greek gods, though perhaps he could be tenuously linked to Egypt. 29 But none of that was important. What was important was that Shazam's existence caused a huge sensation in the World.
Because his existence proved that the gods of this World were real!
Especially in Greece, some people have already started proposing a restoration of polytheistic beliefs.
In recent years, Greece has not been doing well; as the birthplace of Western philosophy and rudimentary science, Greece's political, economic, and cultural development has fallen completely behind the World.
They urgently hope someone can save the dire situation in their country, and Dane has clearly become the lifeline they want to grasp.
Dane even received a plea from a high-ranking Greek official, hoping he could help Greece for Zeus's sake.
He didn't even need to do much; just his willingness to become Greece's image ambassador would suffice... This left him speechless.
Second in popularity was Wonder Woman; the revelation of her identity information sent countless Greek citizens into collective euphoria.
Who hasn't heard the stories of the Amazons? Previously, they were only thought to be legends, and now you're telling me they're all true?
And the daughter of Zeus, this identity, let alone a princess, you could call her a goddess without issue.
And Wonder Woman is so beautiful, her legs are so long, how can one grow such long legs... However, some veterans who experienced World War II found Wonder Woman's image a bit strange, always feeling like there was something familiar about her.
Third in popularity was Superman; the information only introduced him as being from Kryptonian, growing up in the United States, and also detailed his ability scores.
Seeing his long string of maximum five-dimensional scores, many netizens exclaimed, 'This man is not a god, but better than a god.'
Fourth in popularity was Batman; this hero is quite special, with many unverified rumors about him even before the Coast City incident.
Bruce immediately knew this was the result of the Scarecrow incident's aftermath.
At that time, someone was already investigating the cause of the incident in the revitalized Gotham, and that person was a female reporter whom Bruce knew.
She was Vicki Vale, a reporter for the Gotham Gazette; after the Scarecrow incident, she tried to investigate its full story and then traced it back to Batman.
She suspected Batman thwarted the Scarecrow's plot, but because her editor disagreed with her publishing the article (actually, Bruce used the Wayne Group's influence to prohibit the newspaper from publishing), she posted her investigation results on Kuaishou.
So, strictly speaking, Batman was the first superhero known to the public.
However, the information about this hero's abilities and identity, 'Rich N,' was vague, as if there was a taboo, adding a few points of mystery to him out of nowhere.
Fifth was Martian Manhunter; 'Rich N' didn't seem to know much about him, only briefly introducing him as being from Mars centuries ago, a Martian who had long been extinct.
Then he roughly introduced his abilities; because his abilities were indeed very powerful, many people thought he was qualified to take the fourth seat.
Seriously, if it weren't for his truly powerful abilities, almost comparable to Shazam and Superman, Martian Manhunter probably wouldn't have gotten the fourth place, because his appearance doesn't conform to Earthling aesthetics.
As fellow green-themed heroes, Green Lantern is much more handsome than him.
Hal suffered from coming too late; even 'Rich N' didn't know much about him.
But do you think Green Lantern is the fifth most popular?
Wrong! Fifth is Zatanna, because she is very beautiful, and some netizens recognized her as the recently famous female magician; no one expected her to be a real magic user!
For a time, many audience members who had watched her performances didn't know whether they had lost or gained, and platforms that had invited her to perform didn't know whether to sue her for false advertising or thank her for showing her true abilities.
But the LSP only had one thought: Zatanna is so beautiful!
And Green Lantern, as Coast City's first and only superhero, ranked sixth.
Coast City is currently busy with redevelopment and disaster relief efforts, so no one is speaking up for him for now.
The Umbrella Foundation has already moved into Coast City, preparing to contribute to the disaster relief efforts.
And Green Lantern is also working hard to rebuild his hometown; his abilities are, as expected, very useful in this regard, and netizens can see videos of him appearing at various construction sites and disaster relief scenes on Kuaishou every day.
Of course, other superheroes are no exception; among them, Superman enthusiastically provided a lot of help, and his figure carrying buildings and flying around in the sky often appears on social media.
Other superhero names are ranked sequentially after that.
It is worth mentioning that Constantine's ranking seems to have been affected by magic, placing him in last position.
There were even anonymous netizens on Kuaishou openly cursing Constantine's entire family... It is said that Constantine even publicly engaged in a cursing battle with that anonymous netizen in the comments section, cordially greeting each other's family and friends.
And Dane?
He had already returned to the Hall of Justice; as a capitalist bigwig, he only needed to wave his hand, and countless professionals would get things done.
This was much more efficient than him personally doing the heavy lifting.
Perhaps Clark just enjoys that hands-on feeling.
Diana was a bit annoyed now; she hadn't concealed her actions at all during her missions, so now all her colleagues at the museum where she worked knew her identity.
The most crucial thing was that her identity had been exposed by 'Rich N'; some people even dug up her Kuaishou ID.
Now, every day, a large group of idiotic netizens messages her in her DMs.
Some want to get close to her, some call her 'mom,' and others hope to get her original item... it's driving her crazy.
Dane noticed her mood and asked caringly, "What's wrong?"
Diana calmed her agitated mood before reluctantly saying,
"My identity has been exposed; now I don't even dare to go out."
She couldn't help but say, "Kids nowadays are too crazy about celebrities!"
"Crazy?" Dane shook his head; he took out a proposal submitted by a department under Vanguard Technology.
"Look at this; if it's implemented, I think your fans will be even crazier."
Diana took it and saw that it was a proposal to obtain authorization for superhero images.
It detailed various ideas from relevant departments on how to develop the superhero economy, striving to develop related superhero merchandise.
This included, but was not limited to, comics, animated films and TV shows, toy merchandise, and endorsement development plans.
It was clear that the person who wrote this proposal had many ideas.
But didn't he know that Shazam was the owner of this company?
Diana looked at Dane in confusion: "You clearly didn't hide your face either, so why hasn't anyone discovered your identity?"
Seeing that she finally realized this question, Dane smiled slightly.
"I used a magic that causes others to have a cognitive barrier about me; it can effectively protect my two identities from being associated with each other."
There's such convenient magic?
Diana didn't stand on ceremony with him: "Cast that magic on me too; I'm really fed up with this life of constantly being watched."
"As you wish."
