Marvel's Superman [Completed]

Somewhere in a Military Camp, New York.

In the conference room, the gallant female officer was briefing her superior.

"—Colonel Phillips, I think there is something wrong with that Luke Cavill guy!"

Carter briefly summarized the attack that Dr. Erskine encountered near the World Expo Of Tomorrow's venue and then talked about Luke, who was listed among the suspects.

"I've seen the wounds on the German spies; all of them were one-shot! Ordinary people can't do this! Cavill must have practiced marksmanship and is quite good at it!"

The female officer concluded with certainty in her tone.

After leaving the Conscription Station, the doubts in her mind never went away.

That young guy from Brooklyn single-handedly killed more than one professionally trained spies; it felt unbelievable.

There were too many things that didn't make sense!

Therefore, Carter believed it was likely a plot by Hydra.

By sacrificing those German spies, they wanted to get close to Dr. Erskine!

Then, they will implement their evil plan!

Germany preferred kidnapping more than killing Dr. Erskine.

The value of Super Soldier Serum just couldn't be neglected.

Whoever obtained it will be able to influence the course of the world war.

Such threat and potential just can't be ignored.

Colonel Phillips, who was sitting in his seat, shook his head and whispered, "He's not a problem."

"I've sent someone to investigate Luke Cavill. His parents were Irish immigrants, died very early. The administration took pity on him, and he had excellent grades and was academically gifted; he was even offered a scholarship every year, but he later dropped out of high school after he turned seventeen!"

"Why did he drop out of school?"

Carter was puzzled.

"You should know that Irish immigrants aren't well received. It is very common to be bullied and discriminated against. As a result, Cavill often fought with other students at school. When the teachers encountered this, they had to call his parents, but well, he had no parents ..."

Colonel Philips shrugged his shoulders and helplessly said, "After fighting the bullies, he still had to deal with unreasonable adults. For a 17-year-old, it wasn't something easy to deal with. "

Carter went silent.

She can imagine how difficult those years were for Luke Cavill, who was an orphan.

"But... where did he get the gun, and how did he learn marksmanship?"

Carter hesitantly asked.

Through the Colonel's account, she dispelled her inner suspicions.

However, Carter didn't understand how an ordinary young man in Brooklyn could shoot with such precision!

"Cavill's uncle, Frank, is a veteran, the kind that actually survived from the battlefield through combat. He went on to join the Irish gangs and did some dirty work. Now, he's about to retire as the Honorary president of one of the Truck Drivers' Union branches. "

Colonel Philips informed her about the results of the investigation.

He knew that Carter had always been competitive and good at her job.

It's just that she was somewhat obsessed with showing that she wasn't inferior to any male.

Sometimes, Colonel Philips had a headache due to this.

He wouldn't have had such a good temper if the other party hadn't been a Brit and wasn't a faction of the American Military.

After all, The Strategic Scientific Reserve had very diverse members, with talented people recruited from all over the world and of all genders.

Carter was one of them.

"Luke Cavill isn't a German spy. He has nothing to do with the Germans. I don't think Hitler, no matter how capable he is in provoking people, could make a young man who grew up in Brooklyn turn into a spy for Germany. "

"Sure, Cavill did do some underhanded stuff, but the Strategic Scientific Reserve isn't interested in those, and interfering gang-fights isn't our job. We're against the Hydra, and winning this war by defeating the Axis is our aim!"

Colonel Phillips emphasized the last part, instructing her to stop nagging him about Luke.

He didn't want Carter to stir up this hornet's nest, which the Irish gangs were!

Those people had now joined forces with the Unions and helped politicians gather votes and interfere with the elections.

In recent years, their power had increased exponentially.

Even Colonel Phillips didn't wish to provoke such unnecessary trouble!

God knows how many Capitol Hill lawyers were standing behind them!

Instead, he seemed to think of something and said, "Erskine seemed to be very interested in those two. Luke Cavill, and... What's the name of the other guy?"

"Steve Rogers," Carter replied.

"Yes, yes! Erskine wants to take them both and recruit them to Camp Lehigh. "

Colonel Philips pondered for a moment and asked, "What do you think of this, Carter?"

Camp Lehigh, on the surface, was a place to train recruits.

However, the real purpose was to select test subjects to be injected with the Super Soldier Serum.

Erskine's intention was undoubtedly to get Luke Cavill, and Steve Rogers selected.

Colonel Phillips didn't think there was any problem with the former.

Luke was tall and strong, and he could even take care of three German spies all by himself.

Even if he wasn't selected in the end, it doesn't change the fact that he would become a good soldier.

But —

Steve Rogers?

That small, skinny guy looked like he could be blown away just by a gust of wind.

It would be ridiculous if the Allies had to be saved by such a guy!

"If this is Dr. Erskine's idea, then I think it's fine, Colonel!" Carter thought for a moment and answered.

"Well then, I'll leave the matter to you. I want to see them on the bus to New Jersey. "

Colonel Philips nodded and handed off the assignment.

He figured, anyway, with Rogers' physique, he probably wouldn't even make it through basic training for the recruits.

As for being selected and becoming a Super Soldier?
