But in a place like the Syndicate, power was far more important than seniority.
Ocean Master initially tried to lay down rules for Zanzar, but after having one arm crushed by him, he never dared to utter another word of nonsense.
So, even though Owlman, Superwoman, and Ultraman were the original 'Big Three,' if Zanzar wanted to be the leader, and their combined strength couldn't defeat him, they would naturally have to submit.
But were they just going to hand over the Syndicate they had painstakingly built to Zanzar?
Ultraman would never agree, and he believed Owlman would also never agree.
Indeed, Owlman turned his head, but his voice still clearly reached Ultraman's ears: "Yes, that is a problem."
Ultraman thought, 'There's a chance!'
He often operated with Zanzar, so he had an assessment of his own strength compared to the other. He knew he was no match for Zanzar.
Even if he could consume unlimited Kryptonite, Zanzar would kill him before that happened.
Although Owlman's own strength wasn't outstanding, he was very good at finding enemies' weaknesses and often used this to defeat enemies far stronger than him.
In a situation where he was powerless, Ultraman naturally leaned on Owlman's wisdom.
At this point, Owlman said, "You know? Although we often refer to Alexander Luthor as Zanzar, he never seems to call himself that."
Ultraman thought about it and realized it was true. He remembered that when introducing himself, Zanzar had written his codename on a piece of paper.
"So?" But Ultraman still didn't understand why this was worth pondering.
But Owlman's lips curved into a smile: "Right, so why wouldn't he say something so simple out loud?"
Ultraman's eyes suddenly lit up: "You mean..."
"Perhaps if he says that name, something incredible might happen."
While the idea was good, Ultraman quickly composed himself, "But if that word is truly so important to him, how do we get him to say it?"
Owlman uttered a name: "Superwoman."
Ultraman suddenly understood. Yes, Superwoman!
She possessed the Lasso of Submission. Even if Zanzar was unwilling, he would have to say that word.
And it was also an insurance policy. If their guess was wrong, they could still use Superwoman's lasso to uncover his true weakness.
"But that's still not enough." Owlman was still dissatisfied with the strength of the three of them. "I suspect Zanzar's abilities might be even greater. Since he can steal others' powers, how many abilities did he steal before joining us? None of us know."
Ultraman frowned and thought about it, realizing it was true. They absolutely couldn't be careless at a time like this.
"We should gather more people. We must absolutely suppress Zanzar. Only then can we ensure foolproof success."
Ultraman nodded in agreement. He knew finding Owlman was the right call. It seemed Owlman had also been annoyed with Zanzar for a long time.
"So, next, we need to discuss this with Superwoman, right?"
"Don't worry, I think she'll be easily persuaded."
...In Superwoman's private quarters, she was currently in some kind of dilemma.
Superwoman had left the Amazons for a trial.
She was to first conquer the men of this World, then retake Devils Island and claim the Queen's throne.
Then she would choose the strongest man among them and conceive the strongest offspring with him.
Conquering men didn't necessarily require force, Superwoman had realized this, but for the second objective, she was somewhat indecisive.
She currently had three candidates: Ultraman, Owlman, and Zanzar.
Ultraman, before Zanzar's emergence, was undoubtedly the strongest man in the World, but he had a fatal weakness.
Ultraman couldn't be exposed to the yellow Sun, as it would cause him extreme pain and weakness.
For this, he even went so far as to create a large dust cloud above Metropolis, ensuring that the place never saw sunlight year-round.
Superwoman worried that if she chose Ultraman, her child would also inherit this weakness.
As for Owlman, honestly, his own strength wasn't impressive and didn't meet Superwoman's standards, but Owlman's intelligence was truly unparalleled.
His powerful intellect was a unique kind of strength, but it wasn't immediately apparent.
