Of course, that doesn't mean that outside of his gigantic state, Richard is just an ordinary person with no power.
First of all, in addition to becoming gigantic, Nexus, like most other Ultraman, can adjust his height and size during transformation. Currently, Richard has discovered that his limit is that he can grow to a height of 49 meters.
The minimum can be shrunk to the size of an ant - this is just the current stage, and the upper and lower limits may continue to increase in the future.
The smaller the size of Ultraman's form, the less energy he needs to consume. If he just maintains the size of a normal person, the energy he needs to consume will be greatly reduced, but he should still be able to bear it in this form.
.
But even if it is only the size of a human, it is still the power of Ultraman, and he still has quite terrifying strength - or rather, when facing most enemies of the size of a human, the small size is more useful, and the bulkiness after enlargement
On the contrary, it is not easy for the body to catch the opponent. It feels like swatting flies, which consumes a lot of energy and is inefficient. If nothing else, when I faced Abomination last night, if Abomination hadn't happened to stand and roar with self-aggrandizement,
And Richard suddenly made a sneak attack. With such a huge size, Richard might not be able to catch Hate in a short time.
Even if he is not in a state of transformation, the physical strength of Ultraman's human body is far beyond the limits of human beings. Richard found the opportunity to test it, and in the state of not being transformed, his current physical body also has Captain America-level physical strength.
——And that's only now. The degree of integration between his body and Ultraman's power is not high enough, so he only has this level of power for the time being, and even if he transforms, he can barely maintain his ordinary silver juvenile form.
Richard was a young reporter in China in his previous life before time travel, and he liked the job he was doing. It was precisely because of this influence that he chose to join this industry again after time travel and rebirth. But this time he didn't
No longer is it the young reporter running the news on the front line, but the boss blowing on the air conditioner in the office and yelling at the boss.
Journalism is great. Gabriel García Márquez once said: Journalism is the best profession in the world. Although such a conclusion may be too subjective, Richard thinks he can understand it.
Marquez said that journalism is a passion that can never be satisfied, and can only be unleashed when encountering reality. The meaning of journalism lies in disclosure, supervision, and so that the world can always clearly see the truth as it is. Journalism Institute
What is reported can often more easily dominate people's thoughts, promote correct values, and more importantly, they can guide people to think for themselves.
But of course Richard, who was a journalist in his previous life, also understood that there are taboos in news. After all, journalism itself is made up of people, and wherever there are people, interests will inevitably be involved.
In many cases, something is obviously right, but you just can't say it out loud.
Sometimes many things are clearly wrong, but you just have to confuse right and wrong without conscience.
Even Richard himself had to admit that he had been part of the participants. Sometimes when he finished writing a manuscript without conscience, he would even hate his own work, so much so that he would not think about it again after the article was published.
Go take a look.
But now, things are different.
Now, Richard has his own newspaper and a large group of reporters who are not afraid of power and dare to stand their ground in any situation. No matter what content his reporters dare to write, he dares to publish it. From Hollywood stars to businessmen
Tycoons, from top military officials to political leaders, the more senior people are, the more news they have to dig out.
"Daily Planet" has developed from its establishment to today in just a few years. Now it has become one of the largest newspapers in New York City. The net worth of newspaper owner Richard Lee has also skyrocketed. Daily Planet has also become one of the largest newspapers in the city.
The most popular newspaper among the people, for no other reason than that they dare to write and say anything.
As for those bosses who are exposed and become angry, will they take revenge?
Haha, you have traveled through time and become Ultraman, are you still afraid of this?
Then Richard thought he might as well be killed by a piece of tofu.
Just like the plot of the Marvel movie "The Incredible Hulk 2", last night a lieutenant colonel under General Ross was injected with Hulk's serum and transformed into a monster like Abomination. He suddenly gained that dreamlike and powerful power.
Let the hatred go to his head, and for a while he really felt that he was invincible in the world. He rampaged through the streets of New York without restraint, defeated General Ross's troops head-on, and caused countless losses.
According to the original movie plot, it was General Ross's old enemy, the Hulk, who came forward to deal with the problem. He fought an earth-shattering battle with the Abomination on the streets of New York, and was finally able to subdue the Abomination. But who knew that the Abomination last night was...
After being wild for a long time, the whole street was almost demolished by him. Hulk, who was supposed to be the protagonist of the story, still didn't jump out to save the world.
Richard didn't want to take action so casually. After all, his action would definitely be earth-shattering and would undoubtedly cause an uproar around the world, and the world may not be ready to accept an existence like him.
But the situation is that Hatred is demolishing all the way down the street, almost to the door of his newspaper office. If he doesn't jump out and give Hatred a punch, then the next one to collapse will be his Daily Planet, which he runs
It took several years of hard work...
But then Richard thought about it, this power has to be shown to the world sooner or later, it doesn't matter if it's sooner or later.
Richard actually doesn't have a heroic complex. Rather than running around the world like a firefighter all day long to save the world, he prefers to run his own newspaper quietly and live his own life. To be honest, he actually feels like himself.
It was strange that such an ordinary person would be favored by the light, because he felt that he was obviously not the kind of hero who would sacrifice himself to protect the world.
But, he feels that since he has obtained this power, he should still let it work to some extent. He does not plan to be a full-time superhero like the Avengers, accompanying some super criminals to love and kill each other all day long, then
It's like a cat and mouse game that never ends.
But if one day, a disaster that even those superheroes can't resist comes to this world and to him... If one day the world really needs Ultraman, then he will fight without hesitation.

(p.s. The slowdown in the giant state can be regarded as a secondary design. In fact, Ultraman will not be too slow when he has sufficient energy. You can imagine the specific effect of the giant Ant-Man==)
