American Comics: Multiverse of Madness

68. A Whole New World.

Someone is robbing an armored cash truck!

This was the first thought that came to Alex's and Pietro's minds.

Meanwhile, Kara stood there staring blankly at everything. She had no idea what was happening outside the alley, and due to not growing up properly on Earth, she was clueless about many common things, like the current situation.

The three of them quickly ran out of the alley onto the street following the sound. However, they saw that the armored truck had already disappeared at the end of the road, and the surrounding pedestrians and vehicles were too many, causing significant trouble for the police cars.

After all, the robbers could disregard traffic laws, but for the police, if they caused a traffic accident while chasing criminals, it would be a significant loss. After taking a few glances from afar, Alex suddenly stopped Pietro, who was eager to rush out.

"It's a good thing I reacted quickly, or Pietro you would have just charged out. Do you plan on exposing your superpowers in public?"

"But they are robbing and hurting so many people," Pietro said, but he was just saying it. After being stopped by Alex, he had no intention of moving again.

"There are people handling it."

"Those police? They can't catch up with those criminals at all," Pietro said, looking at the police cars that were left far behind.

"I'm not talking about them," Alex paused for a moment, then nodded towards the sky. "Look, someone's coming."

At his words, both Pietro and Kara looked up in the direction Alex pointed.

In fact, not just them, but everyone around seemed to sense something, as they all looked up, exclaiming in surprise, some even taking out their phones to capture the scene in the sky.

In the sky, amidst numerous tall buildings, a figure dressed in red and blue tight-fitting clothing was swiftly moving, holding a thin white thread in his hand as he swung between the high-rise buildings. With his rapid movement came a loud shout.

"Yo ho! Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man is here!"

The appearance of Spider-Man instantly caused cheers from the crowd. It seemed they were not seeing Spider-Man's heroics for the first time; many were fans of this superhero who wandered around New York punishing criminals.

"Wow!" Pietro couldn't help but exclaim at the sight.

It wasn't because he saw a superhero; it was because he saw how enthusiastic the people of this universe were about superpowered individuals. In his universe, almost everyone was very hostile towards mutants.

This was something Alex didn't know about Pietro's inner thoughts. Otherwise, he wouldn't have let him be so happy so soon.

Different from those focusing on Spider-Man, Alex quickly shifted his gaze and casually picked up a newspaper from a nearby newsstand. He wanted to confirm which universe they were currently in. Shifting his gaze, Alex's eyes finally locked onto a few headlines in the newspaper.

["Stark Industries Launches New Energy Industry," "Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters Enrollment Brief," "Exclusive Interview with Reed Richards."]

"What are you looking at?" Seeing Alex's completely different reaction from the others, Kara leaned over and asked quietly.

"I'm gathering information. The development of timelines in each universe is different. This can be clearly distinguished from superheroes, so I need to figure out which timeline this universe is in." Alex replied.

"My brother isn't in this universe, right?" Kara asked again.

Hearing this, Alex raised his eyebrows, put down the newspaper, and turned to Kara. "How did you know?"

"I just enhanced my senses earlier and didn't hear anyone mentioning the names of Metropolis and Gotham City, you said my brother is the protector of Metropolis, and since there's no Metropolis here, my brother isn't here either, right?"

Alex stared at Kara for a while, somewhat surprised that she could monitor the entire New York in such a short time. But he quickly adjusted and spoke.

"You're right. There are many parallel universes with superheroes, and obviously, this time we didn't arrive in the universe your nephew is in. Besides, there's no Batman, Flash, or Krypton here."

Kara nodded slightly. After hearing Alex's words, she didn't show much, but Alex could see a hint of disappointment in her eyes. To this, Alex didn't know how to comfort her, so he could only raise his hand and pat her shoulder.

"Don't worry, I'm fine. I had already thought of this possibility earlier. Besides, as long as I'm with you, I'll see my nephew someday, right?"

"Yeah, you will." Alex nodded.

Kara quickly adjusted her emotions. Although this universe didn't have her nephew, she still didn't want to ruin Alex's mood, so she changed the subject.

"So, what kind of information did you gather just now? Can you confirm which universe we're in?"

"This... it's a bit hard to say." Alex gave a bitter smile, then he looked up with a meaningful look at the scenery on the street.

After seeing information about the Avengers, X-Men, and Fantastic Four on the newspaper, he immediately confirmed that this universe was definitely part of the Marvel Comics universe, and it had developed rapidly. From Reed Richards' beard, he could tell that the superheroes had long history in this universe.

In this universe, being superhero was not a nascent profession but a great profession that had developed over many years, evolving through generations.

Captain America had retired from Steve and passed on the mantle to Sam, making him the second Captain America. Thor had become the King of Gods, guarding Asgard, and the current Thor was Jane Foster. Above outer space, the Sword Station of S.W.O.R.D. stood in the universe, constantly guarding against alien invasions on Earth.

All these things brought more doubts to Alex.

For example, did this universe have the Illuminati? Had superheroes here experienced two Civil Wars? Did the major events from the comics occur here?

Without confirming these major events about various parallel universes, Alex felt a deep sense of vigilance towards this universe!
