Chapter 1404
Great Miracle and Jupiter Jack are second-tier superheroes under Vought who are infinitely close to the first tier.
The only reason they are hindered from becoming first-tier is that their abilities partially overlap with Homelander's.
What is Homelander's personality?
Unique, supreme!
Naturally, he couldn't possibly allow someone with the same abilities as himself to become a new favorite that the company pushes, the media focuses on, and the public chases!
Letting them become first-tier isn't that just letting them steal his popularity!
Let's talk about Great Miracle first; the name is very magnificent and high-end, but the only actual ability is flight.
He can fly around the Earth in outer space at several times the speed of sound.
Like other superheroes at Vought, Great Miracle is also a scumbag.
His biggest hobby is to put laundry detergent into his body via an enema, and then find female fans who adore him to play "a row of egrets flying into the blue sky."
As everyone knows, ordinary people cannot survive in high-altitude and outer space environments, so every time it ends, only he comes back alone.
Uh, it actually made the cleaners responsible for Vought's aftermath much easier.
Then there's Jupiter Jack; this guy is a copy of Martian Manhunter from next door, not only is the design similar, but he also looks very similar...
Earth-yellow skin, alien appearance; the persona Vought created for him is an alien from Jupiter.
He can fly and can also be invulnerable for a short time.
In the comics, there is no Translucent among the members of the Seven, but Jupiter Jack.
There are many similar differences.
For example, Stormfront is actually a member of the Payback alliance in the comics.
Also members of the Payback alliance are the copycat Hawkeye and Green Arrow's Eagle Archer.
And Gunpowder in the Payback alliance belongs to a group that copies the Teen Titans—the Young Dynasty.
A-Train also originally belonged to this group, and later defeated a predecessor who also possessed super speed, which is how he joined the Seven.
Also in the Young Dynasty is Webweaver; by the way, Webweaver's prototype is X-23.
Starlight, before she joined the Seven to replace Lamplighter, was a member of the Christian conservative group, the Young Americans.
This group is a copy of Young Justice and is considered relatively normal among many hero groups; their attitude is relatively conservative, and they often promote how wonderful Christianity is.
In addition, there are the Fantastic Four copycats, the Fantastic Death, and the X-Men copycats, the G-Men.
Hughie once joined one of the six branch teams of the G-Men, G-Team, as an undercover agent.
By the way, the Payback alliance is a copy of the Avengers.
As for their respective prototypes, Soldier Boy goes without saying; Stormfront's prototype is Captain Marvel, and Crimson Countess—just by the word "Crimson," you can judge it, Scarlet Witch, right!
Just imagine.
Captain Marvel is Captain America's hookup buddy, Captain America is Scarlet Witch's boyfriend and also Superman's father, and then Captain Marvel starts dating Superman...
It's really a mess!
However, the most miserable one is Scarlet Witch.
Not only did her teammate kill her boyfriend, Captain America, but in the end, her popularity declined, times changed, and she had to perform at someone else's theme park, and she also became a private streamer who couldn't show her face.
Since we've mentioned "superheroes," let's say a few more words about The Boys.
Why did Su Quan say that Billy and Homelander are actually the same kind of people?
Because this guy is even more excessive in the comics than in the TV series.
Several members of The Boys: Marvin was killed by him, and Frenchie and Kimiko were blown up by him together.
In the end, Billy obtained a weapon that could kill everyone who contained Compound V in their bodies.
Hughie went to stop him, and the two engaged in a final battle.
Billy's spine was broken, and he was killed by Hughie with a metal nail.
At the end of the story, Hughie, the only survivor of The Boys, reunited with Starlight.
I have to say, Hughie is the true protagonist!
He lost a girlfriend at the beginning and had another girlfriend at the end.
And unlike the TV series, the person Hughie killed in the comics wasn't Translucent, but A-Train.
In other words, Hughie avenged his girlfriend.
Back to the point.
Back to the present, Ashley Barrett contacted Great Miracle and Jupiter Jack.
Jupiter Jack was further away and was in the middle of a mission, so he had to give up.
Great Miracle arrived very quickly; Ashley Barrett made the call, and within two minutes, he appeared before Madelyn, ready to go.
Looking at Great Miracle, who was wearing a sky-blue tight-fitting uniform with a dark blue cape, Madelyn felt a little hesitant.
Besides flying fast, Great Miracle's fighting ability and defensive ability are not very good, and looking at him, he was 80-90% likely high before coming here...
If he couldn't successfully resolve the hijacking incident, a good thing might turn into a bad thing.
Madelyn recalled other superheroes who could fly...
Prince Nubia, Thunder Queen, etc., all seemed unsuitable, and there was no absolute certainty.
"Damn Homelander, what kind of madness are you having!"
Madelyn cursed secretly; time waits for no one, so she could only treat a dead horse as a living one and let Great Miracle go.
"A-Train! You act with Great Miracle; no matter what, you must do it beautifully, understand?"
Madelyn picked A-Train.
Great Miracle can fly, A-Train runs fast; as long as Great Miracle successfully sends A-Train onto the plane, with A-Train's speed, he can easily subdue the three hijackers holding hostages.
"Understand!"
A-Train was eager to try; in the past, such good things to show off and increase popularity wouldn't have been his turn.
"Boom!"
Great Miracle took A-Train and flew away from the conference room.
There was nothing left for the others to do; The Deep, Black Noir, and Starlight also stood up and left.
Only Madelyn, Queen Maeve, and Ashley Barrett remained in the conference room.
"Bang!"
The moment the door closed, Madelyn asked Queen Maeve furiously: "What's going on with Homelander? Even if he's anxious to find his dad, he can't just not execute such an important mission, right?"
Queen Maeve raised the corners of her mouth with a mocking smile: "It's not that he won't execute it, but that he can't execute it."
Can't execute it?
Madelyn asked in confusion: "Did I miss something?"
Queen Maeve gloated: "Yes, you missed a miracle!"
