DC HERO AT MARVEL

Anton arrived at the scene immediately.

By then, George Stacy, the New York Police Commissioner, was already on-site.

As a master of damage control, the NYPD was never absent when an incident ended, no matter the scale.

Of course, the Turtles didn't come along.

Though technically part of the NYPD as a special task force, this explosion wasn't an ordinary terrorist attack, so there was no need for their presence.

George and his team were there not only as a favor to the Jameson family but also to investigate the scene and provide accountability to both the family and the citizens of New York.

"The nearby surveillance cameras malfunctioned a day ago."

"The internal cameras of Wayne Enterprises were destroyed in the explosion and cannot be recovered."

George frowned slightly as his officers delivered the report.

It was evident that this was a highly targeted attack.

The explosion was clearly aimed at Wayne Enterprises!

But who had the guts to do this?

Who would dare provoke Batman?

George was utterly shocked.

Young Jameson, the man behind Anton, was none other than Batman. This was an undeniable fact, practically common knowledge on the internet and in the public sphere.

Moreover, although Wayne Enterprises was tied to the Jameson family, the surname "Wayne" corresponded directly to the public knowledge of Batman name, Bruce Wayne.

In other words, to many people, including George, Wayne Enterprises was essentially Batman company.

The Jameson family appeared more like managers than actual controllers.

So, who would dare target Batman company?

George was at a loss.

Crash!

Suddenly, a car burst through the police barricades.

Out stepped a familiar man—Anton.

"Commissioner Stacy," Anton greeted George before turning his attention to Jameson, who had just finished answering the police questions.

"What the situation?"

Anton looked Jameson up and down, and after confirming he was unharmed, his gaze shifted to the ruined Wayne Enterprises building, his expression darkening.

"Which idiot dared to bomb our company?"

"No idea," Jameson replied, then glanced at Wick. "Wick, tell him what you know."

"Two people—they were bulletproof," Wick said without hesitation.

"When I realized something was wrong, I immediately went back to find Mr. Jameson.

That when the explosion happened. I don't know the specifics... but I think they might have been human bombs."

"Bulletproof... human bombs,"

Anton muttered, narrowing his eyes as he pondered. For the moment, he couldn't make sense of it.

"You two head back," Anton instructed, sending Wick to escort Jameson away while he stayed behind.

The NYPD investigated for a long time but came up empty-handed. Eventually, they reluctantly informed Anton of their findings before sealing off the area and leaving.

Anton entered Wayne Enterprises and summoned Cyborg in a secluded spot.

He pinpointed the explosion epicenter and recorded all the data.

Although there were no remaining surveillance images, Anton still discovered some anomalies based on the collected information.

"Human bombs?" Anton frowned. Something felt off.

The explosion had originated here, but there were no bodies left behind.

That was highly unusual.

If it were human bombs, the aftermath would typically leave bodies—shredded and scorched, but not entirely disintegrated.

Under normal circumstances, cremation requires temperatures between 600°C and 1,000°C.

A standard explosion generates temperatures exceeding 3,000°C. With more powerful explosives, this can climb to 7,000–8,000°C, and nuclear detonations can easily surpass 50 million°C.

But the key issue was that the temperature required to instantly cremate a body didn't align with the observed effects of this explosion.

Here at the site, there were no remains at all—only ashes, as if the bodies had been fully cremated.

This level of precision wasn't something ordinary explosives could achieve.

If that were the case, not just the floors occupied by Wayne Enterprises but the entire building—and potentially a radius of several hundred meters—would have been obliterated.

"Could it be... the explosion originated from within a human body and not from explosives?"

Anton sniffed the air.

He didn't detect the scent of gunpowder.

As he mulled over the implications, Anton finished collecting data, withdrew Cyborg avatar, and left the building.

At the same time.

News of the explosion began circulating online, gradually entering the public view.

Wayne Enterprises had been riding a wave of popularity recently.

Not only because of its apparent ties to Batman, both overt and covert, but also because the advent of its limb regeneration technology had made the newly established company a global focal point.

A cure for disabilities!

With such a slogan and widespread publicity, it seemed that most disabled individuals worldwide had heard of Wayne Enterprises.

Thus, the incident immediately drew massive attention.

The online discussion was intense.

With certain "insiders" spreading rumors, netizens quickly disregarded the official report released by the NYPD. Limb regeneration technology was immediately met with widespread skepticism.

The situation spiraled downward.

Even Wayne Enterprises' online reservation system saw a significant number of cancellations.

Jonah Jameson had barely made it home before the rumors spreading online ignited like wildfire, fanned further by the media.

News outlets and tabloids seized the trending topic, fueling the flames of the explosion controversy with their coverage.

[Terrorist Attack or Cover-Up?]

[Is Limb Regeneration Truly a Lifeline for the Disabled?]

In just a few hours, the reports escalated, creating an intense public backlash.

It worth noting that Wayne Enterprises' limb regeneration technology didn't just upset disability organizations.

Take a simple example: if disabilities were eradicated, all products associated with disabilities would become obsolete.

The most obvious industry affected? Prosthetics manufacturing.

Prosthetics require extremely precise craftsmanship and are expensive, making prosthetics companies some of the biggest profiteers.

Furthermore, sales of wheelchairs, crutches, and similar products would plummet.

And this is only what immediately visible.

Behind the scenes, countless "questionable" medical services would also be rendered unnecessary.

In short, in the face of such profits, offending Wayne Enterprises was a small price to pay. Some were even willing to risk antagonizing Batman himself.

After all, Batman wouldn't resort to violence over normal business competition, right?

If he did, would he still be Batman?

Moreover, while most people believed Wayne Enterprises was linked to Batman, there was no concrete evidence connecting the two apart from the name.

Publicly disclosed registration and ownership records showed that Wayne Enterprises was entirely a Jameson family enterprise.

As for Bruce Wayne?

Perhaps Wayne Enterprises and its limb regeneration technology were nothing more than the Jameson family leveraging Batman reputation for profit.

The explosion was just an excuse!

In any case, the explosion gave detractors a perfect opening.

Wayne Enterprises once again found itself at the center of controversy.
