#### DC Extended Universe

Near Smallville, in a quiet little town...

"Hello, sir. What would you like to eat?"

"A cheeseburger."

"Sure, please wait a moment."

In a nondescript fast food joint, Clark Kent, disguised as John, was diligently working his latest job. He had no choice. His Earth father, Jonathan, had been overly cautious, drilling into him from a young age to never reveal his powers to anyone, lest he be seen as a monster. Jonathan had even forbidden Clark from saving him during a deadly storm, forcing Clark to watch helplessly as his father died.

Clark adhered strictly to his father's teachings, but he couldn't resist using his abilities to help others. So, he adopted a strategy of constantly moving and changing his identity. This minimized the risk of exposure while still honoring his father's wishes.

"Sir, your burger."

Clark handed the cheeseburger to a business-looking man, but as he did, he noticed a screen suddenly appear before him. What's this? He stared at the screen, puzzled.

"Buddy, I'm starving here. Are you daydreaming?"

"Is it because you got dumped?"

Hearing the sarcastic voice brought Clark back to reality. He quickly handed the burger to the businessman.

"Do you know what this is?" Clark pointed to the screen.

"What are you talking about?"

"That screen."

The businessman looked where Clark was pointing but saw nothing. Confused, Clark realized that he was the only one who could see it. None of the other customers seemed to notice it either, even those walking right past it.

It seemed that the screen was visible only to Clark. Could it be the work of aliens? Clark, aware of his extraterrestrial origin, wondered if this was some advanced alien technology. And if so, could it be from his home planet? The thought excited him. Although he had no plans to leave Earth and his adoptive mother, making contact with his home world was an exhilarating prospect.

#### X-Men World - Old Timeline

Xavier Mansion

"Professor, you can't drink anymore!"

Hank McCoy, still looking like a young heartthrob, was struggling to stop an inebriated Charles Xavier from drinking more.

"Stop calling me Professor!" Charles snapped. He resented the title since his students were sent to the battlefield, and his school was forced to close. He didn't feel worthy of it anymore.

"Sorry, Charles," Hank apologized, knowing the word "Professor" hit a sore spot. "But you really shouldn't drink anymore."

"Why not? I'm in my own home, I can drink as much as I want!" Charles insisted, trying to wrest the bottle from Hank.

Suddenly, both men froze as a screen appeared before them.

"Charles, what did you do?" Hank asked, unsure.

"It wasn't me," Charles replied, equally baffled but also somewhat excited. Was this the work of another mutant? If so, it meant there were still survivors, giving Charles a glimmer of hope.

#### The Boys Universe

"We should shoot him, if one bullet doesn't work, try a hundred!"

"No, his skin is as hard as diamonds. Even bombs won't work."

"How about electrocution? Didn't Hughie knock him out with electricity?"

"That'll only knock him out, not kill him."

In a filthy room, Butcher, Hughie, and Frenchie were frantically discussing how to kill Translucent. Suddenly, a screen popped up, startling them.

What the hell? Did Vought send a super to find them? Though they had never encountered a super with such abilities before, this inexplicable screen left no other explanation.

#### Reality

Jiang Cheng was about to close the intrusive app, but before he could, the first video in the list started playing automatically.

**"When It Comes to Forging, Iron Man Is the Pro! Handmade Iron Man Armor, Impressed Yet?"**

Despite guessing the content, the title piqued Jiang Cheng's interest. He decided to watch the video instead of closing it.

Set to a powerful and intense soundtrack, the video showcased a fast-paced montage of Tony Stark crafting his Iron Man armor in the cave. From dismantling missiles to creating a miniature arc reactor, and hammering out the crude Iron Man suit, the video captured it all.

The final scene showed Iron Man, clad in his rough, initial armor, fighting the Ten Rings—a classic moment that underscored Tony's ingenuity and determination.
