A few days later, the Heroes Association Open Day in December 2008 arrived.
This day has almost become a festival in New York City. Every month, the opening day of the Heroes Association headquarters will attract many people to visit.
In addition to tourists from all over the world, there are also some local superhero fans who regard this day as something like "pilgrimage day".
This is the third year that the Superhero Association has appeared, and the concept of superheroes no longer makes people feel strange.
Although superhumans appeared a long time ago, including mutants who had been a social problem several years ago, the concept of superhero did not really appear until several years ago.
The most well-known representative of the first generation of superheroes is Batman from Gotham.
The man who always wears bat armor to fight evil in the dark night was full of mystery. Some cartoonists even published personal comics for him, and the sales were very good.
Then, with the intentional or unintentional publicity of the media, people who imitated Batman soon appeared, and superhumans began to fight crime all over the world.
As the number of superhumans increases, the concept of superheroes is gradually becoming clear.
But at the beginning, they did experience a period of barbaric development.
If you don’t have enough professional skills, you can only rely on your poor and passionate efforts, or if you follow your temperament, you will try to satisfy your personal desires while fighting crime, etc.
These problems once made superheroes have become disreputable, and even officials intend to ban such behaviors.
Later, after the Hell Kitchen bombing, the New York Heroes Association took this opportunity to establish it.
The four original creators, Divine Man, Knight, Cloak and Dagger, these four superheroes began to try a new idea.
They established a semi-official organization and began to train superhumans who are determined to become superheroes, teach them experience, provide them with sufficient logistical support, and actively cooperate with the official.
They redefined superheroes as helpers of social security, rather than executors who robbed the people.
This has been supported and understood by the government and the public, so the Superhero Association embarked on the right path of rapid development.
Three years later, the New York Heroes Association not only has gained a good reputation in the New York area, but also has its own branches in six cities, Detroit, Gotham, Miami, San Francisco, Toronto and Los Angeles.
It is worth mentioning that the establishment of these branch associations was actively invited by the authorities.
This means that what the Heroes Association does in New York, the code they set for superheroes in New York, has been officially recognized.
If nothing unexpected happens, perhaps in a few years, the New York Heroes Association will become the real North American Heroes Association, and their heroic codes will also become the rules that North American superheroes must abide by.
Officials are happy to see tricky superheroes tame, and the people are happy to see a group of superhumans who act according to the rules protect their city.
Even the police, who had complained about superheroes, were happy to see these heroes assisting them instead of jumping out and stealing their limelight.
You know, after the superhero appeared, the police's situation became very embarrassing.
There are superheroes that stop crime, and people will praise the hero and despise the police's incompetence.
But if superheroes fail to do things, people will still criticize the police for not being able to control these lawless people
But now it's much better. The heroes of the Heroes Association will be dispatched together with the police. They have rules to restrict the heroes from interfering with the police's actions, which makes the superhero's credit invisibly distributed part of the police.
It is said that in Europe and South America, organizations similar to the Heroes Association have also blossomed everywhere.
Official tough intervention will arouse the vigilance and disgust of these superhumans. On the contrary, this semi-official organizational form can leave enough room for buffering between the two.
All in all, everyone is satisfied
"Uncle Ben, Uncle Ben, look, there is a clown giving out balloons!"
On the open day of the New York Heroes Association, in the square of the association’s headquarters.
Merlin's little nephew, 11 years old, holding his uncle's hand.
The child was wearing a baseball cap with a portrait of a divine man. He pointed to the clown performing in the square and said to his uncle:
"I want that balloon."
"oh?"
Ben Parker, who brought his nephew out to play on the weekend, also brought a baseball cap of the same style as Peter.
Although this middle-aged man with a serious body weight does not have a strong desire to chase superheroes, his children like it and he doesn't mind queuing here on weekends.
After hearing Peter's shout, Ben turned to look at the square.
Outside the queue, there was a clown wearing red clothes, a tall hat and wig, with weird oil paint on his face, a red nose and big-headed shoes dancing an exaggerated dance.
Amid the cheerful music, he made all kinds of strange and funny actions.
While jumping around, the children burst into laughter, and adults took out their cell phones to take pictures.
The clown jumped even more vigorously in the cheers of the crowd. He grabbed the cane with one hand and a handful of colorful balloons with the other.
He approached the crowd with funny steps as much as Chaplin, and handed the balloon in his hand to every child.
Well, it’s only for free for children, and adults have to spend money if they want it!
The balloons also feature anthropomorphic avatars of several of New York's most famous superheroes.
There are mighty divine men, sexy female knights and daggers, handsome and handsome thunderbolt fire, and hawkeye ladies wearing jeans and like iceberg beauty.
Well, it is worth mentioning that due to the hype of the professional media companies Ash hired, the small superhero group of Death Bud is now well-known.
Especially Miss Ash, who has both beauty and strength, has become the dream goddess of many middle-aged young people under constant publicity and packaging.
It is said that Ash also has his own fan club.
"I want the Divine Powerful Man!"
Little Peter waved his hands and said to the clown who walked in front of him:
"Give me a divine man!"
"Well, look at this cute little guy, sookeyout~"
The clown giggled, then stuffed a divine man's balloon into Peter's hand, patted him on the head, and danced, heading further ahead of the crowd.
He was observing this scene.
Superheroes are so popular.
It is more sought after than those rock stars. Look at the people here, they lined up four nearly 100 meters in order to enter the superhero headquarters.
Take photos, or try your luck asking for an autograph from superheroes or something.
There is no ignorant guy who dares to make trouble here
Just kidding, the most powerful and powerful group of people in New York gathered here. Even the most fierce thugs did not dare to provoke here.
"No, the security measures are too poor, very unprofessional."
The clown quickly finished sending out the balloons in his hand. While moving his cane, he continued to make the children laugh, while looking at the headquarters of the Heroes Association, which was surging.
There are not even some symbolic security measures here.
Probably because superheroes are very confident in their power.
"In Gotham, such a place has been robbed clean long ago."
A strange smile appeared on the corner of the clown's mouth. After more than ten minutes, he followed the crowd walking forward and walked into the spacious headquarters of the Heroes Association.
Since today is an open day, it seems noisy here.
However, the superheroes still have the most basic sense of confidentiality. Only the lower three floors are open to tourists. The top conference room and the heroes' resting place are still closed.
This is very necessary. During the previous opening days, there were more than once accidents in which someone sneaked in.
There have even been fanatical fans, uh, maybe a group of perverts hiding in the dressing room and secretly photographing female heroes or male heroes changing clothes.
"The restaurant, I'm hungry."
The clown mixed in the crowd came to the superheroes' restaurant, which was still full of people.
On the opening day, the cafeteria is also open to tourists, and the business-minded chefs here also took the opportunity to launch the "superhero package".
I lied to the children that after eating these foods, I could be as tall and strong as the heroes.
Also included are exquisite superhero dolls ~
Of course, the package is expensive, but soft-hearted parents always pay for it in the eyes of children's prayers and desires. Moreover, the taste of the food is unspeakable and it is indeed very nutritious.
"Get a superhero package, thank you!"
The clown squeezed to the counter and bought a set meal with the money he had just earned to sell balloons. Then he sat on the corner table, eating while observing the surroundings.
On a table not far away in front of him, several superheroes wearing black denim clothes with the Death Gang logo behind him are taking photos with fans.
Well, although most heroes avoid entering restaurants during open days to avoid riots from fans.
But there are always some guys who like to show up in public and those who like to be sought after will appear openly on this day.
For example, Jonathan, the Thunderbolt Fire on the other side of the restaurant.
He was surrounded by a group of young girls and young women, posing in handsome poses, taking photos with them, and exchanging phone numbers with beautiful girls.
This guy was warned by senior officials of the Hero Association for his suspected fan fucking, and his hero license was almost revoked.
So he has restrained himself a lot now, and his hands are honestly placed between the girls' waists, and he has not taken the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
But he still likes the feeling of being surrounded by people.
The clown's eyes were wandering back and forth between the heroes of the Death Gang and the Thunderbolt Fire.
He soon discovered that the heroes of the Death Gang were far less popular than those of Pili Fire. They would look at Pili Fire from time to time with a mixed look of envy and jealousy, and a kind of dissatisfaction was accumulated in their hearts.
The clown narrowed his eyes, and he picked up the colorful cane decorated with his hands, and gently slid his fingers on the cane.
Dissatisfaction is natural, and people are jealous creatures.
Everyone is a superhero, and everyone is in the city every day to help people in need.
Everyone has the same efforts. Why is your Thunderbolt Fire more popular than us?
Just because you are handsome?
Just because you are cool?
Just because you have a great job?
As the invisible and intangible power dissipated, the invisible hand penetrated into the hearts of the jealous people, stirring up the negative emotions in their hearts, just like throwing down Mars and letting the flames burn.
That is what they think in their hearts, that is their own thinking.
It was just because reason was suppressed little by little that the fire of jealousy began to burn.
Soon, the breathing of several heroes from the Dead Gang became heavy.
Their eyes at Thunderbolt Fire became less friendly.
"hey-hey"
After the clown finished the last piece of meat, he picked up the cup of milkshake, drank the drink with a straw, and walked towards the restaurant exit with a cane.
What he should have done has been done.
This era is really great!
When the clown first appeared, it might take a knife and a bomb to cause chaos, but now, he doesn't need anything
The streets were full of walking bombs, and the city was filled with weapons he could use at will.
Well, he loves this city so much
"Bang"
15 seconds after the clown left, a guy with a tattoo on his shoulder and a headscarf punched the table. He stood up and walked towards the direction of the thunder fire.
"Hi, calm down."
His companions immediately grabbed him.
They were not out of kindness. These guys were dissatisfied with the high-profile Thunder Fire in their hearts, but compared to their refreshing provocation, they were more afraid of the punishments from the Death Gang.
Miss Ash was a real outlaw in her early years.
The way she manages the Dead Gang does not rely on preaching.
The bad thing about becoming a superhero is here. Their ability to resist strikes is too strong, which allows Miss Ash to punish them more with confidence.
The whip stained with salt water on the body feels absolutely not good even for superheroes.
"I just went to 'support him'."
The guy with a headscarf gestured at the other brothers with a reassuring look, then walked towards the thunder fire, and he picked up a bottle of water from the table next to him and took a sip of it.
When approaching the Thunder Fire surrounded by the ladies, the guy exaggeratedly exaggeratedly, and the water bottle in his hand hit Pilip Fire's head.
The cold water spread throughout Jonathan's head and hair in an instant.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."
The guy from the Death Gang took out a dirty handkerchief and helped Pilihuo wipe the water, but deliberately made a mess of his carefully tidied hairstyle.
Jonathan wasn't angry either, as the girls watched.
But his name is Thunder Fire, which not only refers to his ability, but also his temper, which is like a sudden flame.
"Get out."
He said:
"I will clean up myself."
"Bang"
This attitude of changing calls broke the last sensible string in the provocateur's heart.
"Who did you let go?"
Amid the screams of tourists around, the guy raised his fist with a grim smile:
Chapter completed!
