The World Reacts to Superboy's New Power

1. The Light's Confusion Turns to Rage

Inside their hidden meeting chamber, seven holograms flickered around the obsidian table.

The Light had been observing Damian for months—

watching the son of Batman analyze heroes, test them, study their minds and instincts.

But the one thing none of them could understand was:

Why the Superman clone?

The defective one.

The half-finished one.

The "narrowed down" version of the real Man of Steel.

He couldn't fly.

He couldn't shoot lasers.

He couldn't use X-ray vision or cold breath.

He wasn't invulnerable.

He wasn't even Kryptonian enough to match the original.

He was a hybrid.

A mistake.

A piece of human-Kryptonian engineering that Lex Luthor himself called "unstable."

So when The Light saw Fire Shadow—

Batman's own son—

trying to secretly give something to that clone?

Their confusion turned into fury.

Vandal Savage

"…Why would the heir of Batman choose that one?"

Lex Luthor

(voice trembling with anger)

"He is inferior.

Unfinished.

A failed blueprint of Kryptonian superiority."

Yet Lex couldn't ignore the pit forming in his gut.

Damian Wayne had made a choice.

And the Light had no idea why.

2. The Light Watches the Closed-Door Meeting

When the Justice League suddenly appeared—

Batman

Superman

Wonder Woman

Green Lantern

Flash

Aquaman

Martian Manhunter—

And cornered Damian…

The Light leaned forward.

Lex tried hacking the Watchtower.

The screens flickered—

ACCESS DENIED.

MAGIC BARRIER DETECTED.

Clarion the Witch Boy cackled with irritation.

Clarion

"They're using magical shielding! I can't see anything!

Ugh, so annoying!"

Even Klarion felt… nervous.

An hour passed.

No footage.

No sound.

No information.

Vandal Savage clenched his jaw.

Savage

"If the League is hiding something from Lex Luthor and from us…

it is catastrophic."

And then—all at once—

Every Justice League member, plus Damian, headed to teleportation.

That alone was alarming.

But what Flash and Green Lantern accidentally said while walking?

Changed everything.

3. "Another Devil Fruit?!" — The Light's Shock

The Light's audio sensors caught only a piece of the conversation:

Flash

"—so there was another devil fruit this whole time—"

Green Lantern

"And the kid hid it? For six months?!"

Every Light member froze.

Lex's face turned white.

Lex Luthor

"…He had a second artifact.

A second power-source.

A second… whatever that fruit is."

Clarion's eyes widened with greedy delight.

Clarion

"A magical fruit that gives powers? Two of them?

Why didn't I get one?!"

Vandal Savage spoke the nightmare aloud.

Savage

"And Damian Wayne gave one to the Superman clone."

Everyone fell silent.

Horrified.

Confused.

Furious.

4. The Fight — Superboy vs Wonder Woman

The Light's satellites picked up the battle in the desert.

The moment Superboy cracked the air—

the moment the ground split—

the moment Wonder Woman was thrown like a rag doll—

every single Light member rose to their feet.

Lex Luthor

(terrified whisper)

"That power…

it makes Kryptonian strength look like a toy."

Queen Bee

"He cracked space. What kind of weapon is that?!"

Ra's al Ghul

"…The boy has become a living cataclysm."

Even Vandal Savage—immortal, fearless, eternal—

felt his ancient bones grow cold.

5. The Government and World Leaders React

Across the world, alarms blared in black sites and command centers.

The US Government watched live satellite feeds.

The President stared in shock.

President

"…He created an earthquake with a stomp.

How… how is this possible?"

Generals panicked.

Scientists shouted.

And then—

"SIR—THE SUPERMAN CLONE DID THIS."

The entire room fell silent.

The President whispered:

"That's not possible… he was the defective one."

6. Amanda Waller: Rage Unleashed

Amanda Waller watched the footage in her private control room.

Her jaw locked.

Her fists shook.

And then—

her voice shattered the room like a bomb.

Amanda Waller

"WHAT DID THAT DAMN BOY EAT?!"

She slammed her fist into the table.

Waller

"Who authorized this?

Who allowed that clone to acquire a world-ending power?!

Where is the artifact?!

Where is the report?!

Why was I not informed?!"

Her eyes burned with fury.

Waller

"And how did Damian Wayne get his hands on it?!

How long did he hide it from ALL OF US?!"

She stared at the screen of Superboy standing in a crater of broken earth.

Waller

"…He is now the single greatest threat on this planet.

And I want EVERYTHING on him.

Now."

7. The Final Global Reaction

Across villain factions, governments, magical orders, and secret organizations…

Everyone came to the same terrifying conclusion:

Superboy now holds a power strong enough to break the world.

And only one person in the world knew why:

Damian Wayne.

The Fire Shadow.

The one who chose the defective clone.

And every power on Earth now wanted to know—

WHY.
