Main Man
[Earth]
[New York : 1993]
POV : Calvin Kent
Three weeks have passed since I revealed myself to the world and seeing people's opinions is always interesting, but now I'm just getting ready while I try to fix this tie, and it's amazing that even with all my powers it took me two minutes to finally get it right the node.
But my dad always taught me that depending on my powers for simple things in life and I think he's right after all a life without challenges doesn't seem very attractive, now I look in the mirror and I'm satisfied with a white dress shirt , suit and blue pants, black shoes and just a red tie and of course not forgetting my beloved pair of black glasses.
I look at the clock and get worried because it's already [09:10AM] and I only have twenty minutes to get to work, I look around and see my messy apartment, I bought a place on the penthouse overlooking Central Park.
Well sorry dad but priorities, and then I pack everything in super speed leaving everything ready in less than a second, and after that I fly at high speed to my office at Star Labs without being seen by anyone.
Well I've never been happier to have super powers that can make these little annoyances less of a problem, I put my feet up on the table and relax because I arrived in less than two minutes.
But before I can approve of my minutes off work, the office door is opened and a tall, blond-haired,Caucasian-skinned figure wearing a large coat that covered his entire body. This was Warren Worthington III or as he was known the Angel.
The story of how we met was kind of funny, it was before I assumed my identity as Superman, I was still an eighteen year old college student but with my powers I could see a fire in a faraway boarding school.
Of course without hesitation I tried to help but as soon as I arrived another teenager with skills was trying to help the funny thing was his disguise, if a white shirt and a blonde wig could be called a disguise, but the white wings were very real.
After saving all the students from the fire I tried to talk and the cool thing was that we got along well, he asked me if I was like him and I replied that it was more or less because I was not human, he was confused and then I explained that my parents found me in a rocket.
He was shocked but soon we talked about various subjects and in the years that followed we became very good friends, Warren helped me to found Star Labs, he became the CEO of the company.
And at that moment he was looking at me with daggers in his eyes and I just look confused because I don't remember doing anything wrong.
"You're a idiot did you know that!?"
"Well going around in a blue and white outfit with a cape isn't exactly what I would call normal but in my opinion it's just being eccentric."
I say laughing to myself but he didn't share my fun.
"Well ok, but when you don't do anything about hiding your face other than a pair of glasses!!"
Oh well I don't know why he's worried, my face is in the company's main advertisements and no one connected the two dots to my identity, I'll consider it a blessing and complaining with a full belly doesn't suit me.
"Come on Warren what are you so stressed about? our capital has gone up people love our products and we are about to expand into other sectors."
"*sigh* Look, I like helping people as much as you do but we need to think about the whole, the company depends so much on the employees and that includes you and me."
I go upstairs, turn on the TV to watch the news and then the Daily Bugle channel appears, a woman with short brown hair, a thin face and a blue suit and golden earrings.
{Hello this is Betty Brant with breaking news!! , experts direct from the orbiting space station detected an unknown object speeding towards Earth!!}
I looked surprised and soon images of the space station appeared however to everyone's shock that who was watching a blur passeded through the station destroying and causing an explosion.
I grip the controller, breaking it into several pieces, and look at Warren with a decisive gaze.
"You can go and I'll cover you."
I waved my thanks, taking off my glasses and putting my hands on my shirt, revealing my suit under my clothes. The reason was that unlike everyone else I saw the image of what looked like a flying motorcycle in space crossing the station.
[Manhattan]
POV : Third
After passing through the space station, the unknown object entered the stratosphere turning into a fireball, but instead of continuing to fall towards the ground, it had its route changed towards New York City.
The fireball headed towards the city and passed through two buildings, however this cleared the flames revealing what the object was. A skull-themed flying motorcycle with three turbines on the back playing a song in an alien language.
And its owner was a big man 2:10M tall with snow white skin, in his eyes there were black spots that looked like tattoos, his hair was black dreadlocks. A leather jacket with skewers open to show his muscles, and leather boots and a belt with a skull.
This was Lobo the greatest bounty hunter in the galaxy and he had arrived on Earth for some reason, he took out a cigar and lit it with the piston of his gun, after that he took another device and a holographic image of the symbol of the house of El .
"Hamph!! that shit Krytack paid me a lot of money for something that probably shouldn't even exist, but I've always liked challenges." said the big bounty matcher, he saw several helicopters coming towards him, Lobo laughed and took a pistol bigger than a human head and fired at the helicopters.
The shot hit the propeller of one of them and started to fall but a blue blur arrived quickly and held the helicopter and put it to safety, Superman had arrived and looked at Lobo with a not very kind expression.
"Hahaha!! so the rumors were true one last Kryptonian still lives, the little Krytack is going to have a tantrum about his existence."
Lobo said as he threw away his cigar and looked at the last child of Krypton with what appeared to be greed.
"Who are you and what did you come here to do?"
Superman said as he frowned at the hunter, he knew that Lobo shouldn't exist in this universe, but even then he shouldn't either so other beings from the core of DC existed here.
"Haha!! I have many names, the Main Man, greatest bounty hunter, father of a thousand bastards!!, last Czarian I am Lobo!!"
Superman sighed at the lengthy presentation of the alien he knew to be one of the most annoying and ill-mannered in comics.
"And the reason I come to this piece of mud you call a planet is solely to hunt down the last living Kryptonian in the universe, of course I've never heard of a flying Kryptonian but whatever." He finished that part smiling and pulled a large chain connected to a hook he hurled towards Superman in order to grab him.
Our hero however would not be so easy and stretching his arm the chain spun around his wrist, smiling Superman with a tug brought Lobo to him taking him off his bike, but Lobo was not the greatest hunter in the galaxy for nothing.
As soon as he got close, he landed a powerful blow to Superman's chest with both of his feet, knocking the Kryptonian away and knocking some of his breath away.
Soon they were on the ground, Lobo looked smiling but before he could react he took a straight left that caused a shock wave and sent him to the sky, he flew but his bike appeared and he mounted it.
Superman came right behind reaching him, Lobo seeing this drew another pistol and shot several giant bloodsucking creatures, Superman saw them approach but did not see them as a threat, this was his mistake as they released a powerful electrical discharge from various directions.
The hero gasped in pain and Wolf was amused at the sight.
"Haha No more resisting will only make them more vengeful!!"
Tired of this Superman's eyes turned red and energy beams shot out he targeted each of the creatures killing each one, much to Lobo's annoyance.
Superman soon charged with force taking Lobo and his bike out of the air and launching it against a building in the works destroying everything in its way, Lobo tried to call his flying bike but it was thrown away with a punch from Superman who looked unimpressed.
"Fine!! you want it the hard way I'll show you the hard way!!"
"This Planet is under alien protection!!"
Superman said crossing his arms, he knew of his origins but no one else knew that apart from his parents and Warren.
"You don't have mirrors on this shit planet!! ? , you're as alien as I am Kryptonian."
He took out another cigar and Calvin feigned understanding for the albino alien.
"So…I'm a Kryptonian."
"You are The Kryptonian, a very rich guy has put a very high bounty on your stupid head."
Lobo explained as he blew out smoke, Superman frowned at that statement, many would like his head so it didn't help.
"Do you have to take me alive?" Superman asked humorously to his hunter in question.
"Not so much, you just need to be recognizable!!"
He took a device from his belt and threw it at Superman's feet which before he could react an explosion engulfed him in person.
Lobo looked pleased and whistled for his bike to come back but as soon as the smoke cleared his target's intact figure, Lobo was starting to get fed up with this super Kryptonian.
"How many damn powers do you still have!!?"
"Good question"
Superman smiled and then released his freezing breath at Lobo who tried to protect himself but was frozen in a large chunk of immobile ice.
Calvin sighed but in relief about to deal with the bounty hunter for good, but then he heard the roar of the bike's engine, turning around he saw the bike pointing its rear end at them.
Soon a sea of flames was thrown over the two, the fire didn't hurt Superman but melted Lobo's ice prison, the bounty hunter angrily charged Calvin and punched him in the face that sent him more back in the building.
It didn't hurt him but for the first time in his life Calvin had felt someone's blow, and he realized he wasn't invincible. Lobo swooped down and again took something from his belt, something shiny and green.
Calvin watching his opponent fly down towards him, both preparing a punch and a shock wave destroyed the building under construction and sent everything flying.
Lobo was thrown into the rubble being buried, Superman dropping to his knees and slamming a hand on his face, something wet and hot coming out of his nose, he soon realized it was his blood.Lobo emerged from the rubble and on his ring finger was a glowing green ring.
"Who knew that Krytack's gift was right!!, that little green pebble actually manages to do some damage."
Superman didn't bother to respond and at high speed threw a punch that sent Lobo away hitting more rubble, he didn't stop and stepped on him sinking him to the ground and threw several punches that increased the crater.
However, Lobo managed to hold his left arm and with his Kryptonite ring fist punched Superman's face making him move away, he wrapped both legs around the Kryptonian's waist and made him fall to the ground and he got on top of him.
Soon followed by a beating by Lobo, Kryptonite weakening his invulnerable skin causing blood to flow, seeing that Superman had not passed out took a special gas grenade and threw it causing smoke to arise.
Lobo put on a gas mask because even with his healing factor this gas was able to knock down and even weaken his physiology. Superman gasped as the smoke entered his lungs, his consciousness falling into darkness.
"Yeah, let the toxins get into those dirty lungs of yours, and try to fall into a good sleep."
And with one last well-placed punch Lobo drew more blood from the Kryptonian and knocked him out and with a hiss he called his bike, trapping Superman with his chain putting it on the back of his bike.
[Space]
After winning he went to space far from Earth and with a few minutes left the Earth's solar system entering but he stopped when a giant ship appeared revealing its camouflage.
Lobo entered the ship carrying Superman entering a large hangar with several machines working on various different tasks and there he saw his client.
"Oh Wolf!!, I see you got it again come on let me see my long awaited prize!!"
That was Taneleer Tivan, The Collector, one of the Elders of the Universe.
What's up !! this fight was inspired by the animation Man of Tomorrow I hope it was a good initial fight, but this was just the first encounter and neither of them used maximum strength.Unfortunately I couldn't call the Darkseid or Zod, I had to content myself with calling Lobo to participate.
