Chapter 842 Unusual Superboy
Can't contact Superboy?
This news shocked Robin no less than hearing about Joker's prank from Batman earlier.
Everyone understands Joker's reasons; this guy is a complete madman. The only thing he cares about is how to have fun "playing" with Batman, and of course, the word "playing" needs to be in quotation marks.
Unlike other criminals, Joker is mostly reckless in his actions, which is why he has become one of the Justice League's most troublesome opponents.
Although it sounds a bit strange to say, fortunately, this time Joker only planted bombs in a few cities, making it relatively easy for the Justice League to handle.
It seems Joker was just bored this time and wanted to play a "simple difficulty" little game.
Robin doesn't need to worry about the Justice League; he should be more concerned about the mess in front of him. Their team originally had two frontline tanks, and now one is missing.
Although Aqualad is also a superhuman with an extraordinary physique, he is not foolproof when facing a Typhoon head-on. At this level of natural disaster, only Superboy and Martian Manhunter in their team can handle it.
But now that one of the 'Double T' duo is missing, Robin is having a headache. Does he have to spare manpower to find someone when they are already short-handed?
Just then, Aqualad, who had been silent, spoke up and shouted at Robin, who was stepping on him.
"Robin, look there, that seems to be Superboy!"
Because of the Mind Link, even without pointing a finger, the Young Justice League can clearly perceive each other's intended meaning. For example, Robin now understands what position Aqualad wants him to look at.
Looking up, Robin indeed saw a figure wearing black sportswear. It was Superboy disguised as an ordinary person, and he was currently fighting against the Typhoon.
Saying "fighting against" is actually just Superboy picking up various debris he can find and throwing them at the Typhoon. After all, unlike Superman, Superboy does not have flight ability.
Superboy can only jump high, but jumping high is meaningless against a Typhoon that can control airflow. As long as Superboy's feet leave the ground, he will be blown away by the howling gale.
Superboy, who cannot fly, cannot fire heat vision, and cannot use breath attack, is completely suppressed when facing a powerful enemy like Typhoon. He can't even get close to the opponent, let alone inflict damage.
Throwing debris is the only thing he can do, but at least it's his way of contributing to protecting civilians.
"We found Superboy. It seems he found the Enemy before any of us."
After Robin finished his report, he and Aqualad jumped ashore. There were not many people nearby, providing enough space for them to maneuver.
As soon as their feet touched the ground, Miss Martian flew over from a distance. Judging by her expression, she must be very worried about Superboy.
At the same time, O Weapon, who had been invisible for a long time, finally appeared. After deactivating invisibility, he stood beside the three of them, as if he had been there all along.
"Everyone, there are about 9 minutes before reinforcements arrive. Before that, we need to trap this big fan here and prevent it from going to the crowded downtown area."
Robin said while looking around. Suddenly, he seemed to have discovered something, but this discovery was not important in the current environment, so he kept it to himself, not wanting to influence others.
Robin asked, "Miss Martian, can you use mental abilities to control the Typhoon?"
Before Miss Martian could answer, O Weapon, who was beside them, answered his problem first.
"It's impossible. Before you guys arrived, I already tried to invade its thought, but I couldn't do it at all. It's like a dead person in front of me, not to mention invasion, there's no response at all."
"I speculate that the Typhoon must have some kind of telepathy-blocking device on it. Otherwise, I could communicate even with a plant person, and it would never be this helpless."
While O Weapon was explaining, Miss Martian also tried it, and then she shook her head as well.
"I can't do it. Just like O Weapon said, it's like I'm facing a pool of stagnant water."
"Boom!"
While everyone was communicating, the battle between Superboy and Typhoon had reached its climax. The former could not do anything to the latter. Typhoon casually used lightning to blast Superboy away.
"Superboy!"
Miss Martian shouted and flew towards Superboy, who was sent flying. She caught him before he hit the ground. Although the steam from the lightning on Superboy triggered a hint of fear in her, Megan still didn't let go.
The two landed, and Superboy, who was slightly convulsing, recovered. However, he didn't thank Miss Martian as everyone expected. Instead, he pulled his body away with a resentful face.
The force was so great that even Megan, as a Martian, took two steps back. It was evident that if it were a fragile human, they would have been smashed to pieces.
Everyone was surprised by this. Megan thought Superboy was angry because they were too late, so she immediately apologized.
"Sorry Conner, we are too late."
Because of the gale, Miss Martian's sound was sent through telepathy. However, Conner, upon receiving the news, seemed to be in pain and covered his head.
"Don't talk in my brain!"
Conner sternly reprimanded Megan. The latter was startled by the former's gaze and was a little at a loss. A pang of sadness welled up in her heart, and her eyes were about to turn red.
Robin was about to smooth things over immediately. Among these people, the most tactful was actually him, who looked the smallest. After all, he grew up in a circus and traveled all over with his parents since childhood, having seen all kinds of people.
Although he didn't know why Conner went crazy, now was definitely not the time to argue. At the very least, they had to solve the enemy first.
But unexpectedly, the first to react was not Miss Martian, who was reprimanded, but O Weapon, who had the best relationship with Superboy.
O Weapon seized the opportunity when Superboy turned around to continue the battle and got behind him. The two horns on his head released scarlet light. Unprepared, Superboy froze on the original place.
"He is very unusual," O Weapon said while using mind power to control Conner.
"Someone left something in his brain. Obviously, that thing is what made Superboy so aggressive."
Generally speaking, based on Conner's past aversion to mental abilities and his sometimes overly macho personality, ordinary people wouldn't think his sudden outburst was related to the enemy.
However, Mutant Clone O Weapon is not an ordinary person. He has seen this kind of routine many times before.
