Superman

A fast shadow passed by the street. People looked up to see Iron Mask flying by.

Iron Mask, formerly known as: Bubble Boy, flew past the many tall buildings within New Orange.

David Vetter(Iron Mask) loved flying around in the city. He loved jump-scaring the pigeons, while waving to the kids standing by the windows. David was born with a rare condition; which forced him to live inside a bubble. But this certainly did not stop him from becoming a hero. David was a smart kid - Stark-Smart! He simply built a colossal mech-suit, which he piloted from inside his bubble.

Hence his first hero name: Brave Bubble Boy!

But it happened on a day, after an intense battle; where David was forced out of his bubble. It was on that day: that Astarte was able to heal his condition. David Vetter no longer needed a bubble to live. He was as free as the birds he loved scaring. David now wore a Iron-Man-like-suit. Whereupon he took the hero name: Iron Mask.

Iron Mask's mask retracted away. David breathed in the fresh and warm summer air. He was a handsome lad: with flowing black hair. Chiseled features. A tanned hue. And brown warm, welcoming eyes. A portal opened up in the sky. David's mask formed back on his face, as he flew towards the danger. While Donald, Vaucanson's Duck, and Iron Mask's companion, flew alongside him. The cries of fear were loud. The people were all in a panic. And Iron Mask had now arrived at the scene.

" A T.I.E? "

The Takwin-Igigi-Edimmu turned to face Iron Mask.

" A remnant of Marduk's invasion? " said Donald, as he was flying next to David: his duck-feet being the jet propulsion.

" No… " said Iron Mask, as the T.I.E growled at him; " it looks new. Fresh even. "

The T.I.E charged. David held up his hand, and fired off his hand repulsor. The T.I.E stumbled back, claws scratching at the pavement.

" Stand down. " said Iron Mask, as his repulsor charged up with energy. The T.I.E simply smiled.

" Wait… " said David as he thought about it; " … he is a scout… "

Donald quacked a mechanical quack, as a portal opened up in the sky.

" Kid? "

" Mr. Representative? What is happening? " asked Iron Mask, as he shot the T.I.E unconscious.

" The Sebitti… Marduk's elite guard. "

" But… " said David, as the many spaceships flew past the portal; " their king is dead. "

" I guess news travel slow in space. "

"... should news not travel faster in space? With lightspeed and all? "

" Sadly: we did not have their number nor email. "

" Ohhh. "

" Can we focus! " yelled Donald, as the mechanical duck was flapping its mechanical wings in fear and distress.

With rocket-like-speed Iron Mask flew towards the portal; destroying some of the spaceships along the way.

" Oh… "

" Kid? "

" Oh no… "

" Kid! "

" Sir… " David could not believe his own eyes.

For saying: armada… would not do it justice…

" Quack… " sounded Donald in disbelief, as an innumerable amount of spaceships were heading towards the portal; the scene reminiscent of Iron Man flying through the portal with the nuke in Avengers One. Iron Mask was quiet, as he had only one solution in mind: for a fleet like that…

Self-destruction.

David gently placed a hand on Donald's head: petting him.

" What are you do- "

Donald could not finish, as David had turned him off. For he knew how loyal his companion was.

He activated Donald's small parachute. And the mechanical duck was now gently flying down towards the ground. Iron Mask swallowed nervously. His heart rate increased, as a faint quake passed through his whole body… but his mind was made up.

" David, what are you doing? " said Mr. Representative, as Iron Mask was flying straight into the portal; his suit lighting up. David now heard these words: echo within his heart:

" David, you are who you choose to be. "

" Superman. "

" David!! "

Iron Mask blew up. The force of the explosion far surpassing that of Shoemaker-Levy 9.
