Man/Superman

A Story by Abishai100

A 'magic-man' finds (perhaps) a destined challenge in the form of adversaries of a (specific) bottle-shattering shape.

A world-superstitions fable drawn from more offbeat DC Comics storyboards/characterizations (e.g., Non). Thanks for reading!

Amlan had strange psychic powers since he was a teenager, and he experimented with his powers for advocacy and the rights of sentient beings (humans!) on Earth in pedestrian motion seeking emotional securities to avoid the pitfalls of everyday dangers and darker threats, guiding them away from locations of terrorist-strike threats, assisting in street-brawl conflicts between citizens (simply) requiring consciousness-administrations for (general) psychiatric-care, and even intervening in political matters perhaps creating pocket-demands for more 'intensive' personality sensitivity for resolution of clan/interest based inequalities and outright destabilization(s). Well, needless to say, by the time this 'magical-boy' (Amlan) had become a fully-grown adult, with a good/solid resume for this sort of 'hero' work for deeds in Earthling-life, he was more-or-less the candidate for something more disparate in our social-media/Selfie culture of those 'incomplete-distances' to perceived traffic-confidence for pseudo-metaphysical bureaucracy commentary (for the Ego).

AMLAN: "Well, I feel those 'hunger-pangs' of post-9/11 era Homeland traffic and activity destabilization paranoia and superstitions and perhaps have become that ideal Earthling-diplomat of advocacy/interventions as a psychic-man of Earth-world protection and even treasure-consciousness confidence (for bureaucracy!)."

This 'disparate' challenge came to the 'magical-boy' of Earthling-confidence in the form of three beings from the dark-side of the universe, General Zod (a defiant machinations-wizard of hierarchy perturbations and mischief), Ursa (Zod's wife and siren of hell and the vanity-temptations and strings of general theatrical flesh-and-bone leviathan), and Non (Zod and Ursa's 'goon' bodyguard of steroids-like corruption and strength-enhancement ugliness for dystopian messaging!). Zod/Ura/Non landed on Earth and offered this 'dark' message-challenge for our hero-prince of Earth-world, Amlan, the 'magical-boy' of psychic-powers and deeds for miracles and advocacy. What was this 'game' to yield (for bureaucracy/art)?

ZOD: I shall engage with this 'magical-boy' personally, for a 'chess' bureau.

NON: Hmmm.

URSA: Write-on!

AMLAN: Chemical warfare, General Zod?
ZOD: I confer with you (secretly) as a messenger from a parallax-universe!

AMLAN: I can see you and your wife (Ursa) and your 'goon' (Non) are nemeses.

ZOD: You're the Earthling-culture advocate and intervention-hero, magic-man!

AMLAN: You mean to construct some special (secret) argumentation-chess/IQ.

ZOD: For treasure, terrorism, theater, taxation, teleology, and true-lies, man.

AMLAN: I'm not merely an 'average' man of bureaucracy-advocacy/deeds, Zod!

ZOD: That's the interest and intrigue, magic-man (Amlan); I seek debate.

AMLAN: This is really interesting, though dangerous matter bordering on crazy.

ZOD: What's so unusual about conferences around complexity as Realism?
AMLAN: You mean to extract some 'physics' graphics for defense of sanity?

ZOD: Consider me the 'supreme' Devil's Advocate of the leviathan, Amlan-man.

AMLAN: Alright; I consider the defense of civil-liberty/structure as religious.

ZOD: Statistically reliable or verifiable, magic-man?

AMLAN: Well, stats do reveal chaos, but I work with the 'IQ' behind dogma.

ZOD: Perchance this yields 'space' for indulgences!

AMLAN: Me thinks (perchance) you simply yearn (private) study of democracy.

ZOD: Hmmm, that sounds...plausible.

Thus begins the 1st-Chapter of a rather extra-ordinary 'epic' of engagements between our magic-man (Amlan) and these three wound dark-side messengers, Zod and Ursa and Non. Would it yield invisible acts of terror and superstition, direct Earth-traffic destabilization challenges, further explorations of civilization complication matter (e.g., chemical warfare, science corruptions, etc.)? Would Amlan finally discover a stranger break-heart form of powers-destiny...for a bureaucracy-reading?
