Superboy Defeated and Tortured 1

 

(This story is loosely based on the comic's character, Superboy, and will be based on me, so he will be Filipino and leaner than the usual Superboys we know)

As usual, Bien worked out every morning to maintain his superb physique. He had a small gym at the basement where he would grill his muscle for 2 hours before going to work. He did 100 sit-ups and 100 chip-ups at least to ensure his abs was always nail-hard and in sculpted 8 packs. If he had extra time, he would continue by lifting dumbells and pulling weights. He knew that he had to maintain the solid muscles to endure the thrashings whenever he confronted the all kinds of enemies. Bien was the most successful crimebuster so far to protect the city and regulate the peacefulness for the civilians. But then he became the most hated superhero by his enemies. Bien already put so many of his foes behind bars but then he made himself to become the target of revenge.

His enemies had been trying to defeat him and take over the city, but every assault was halted and dissolved by Bien who changed into superboy whenever needed. With his harder-than-rock muscles, excellent agility and superb martial art skill, superboy was so far the most feared and adorned superhero.

One of his traditional enemies, Lex Luthor, who held the greatest grudge towards superboy was now contemplating a vicious scheme to capture superboy. He knew that without a plan, he could never be able to capture him.

The poor Bien was still not aware the danger lying in front of him, he still had no slightest idea that his worst nightmare was waiting for him, very soon, very near.....

2.

Bien knew about a havoc in the northern part of the city on radio. He immediately changed into superboy and rushed to the site. When he reached there, he saw a few androids were destroying some shophouses. Superboy landed in the centre of the group, the androids were programmed to attack superboy, but certainly they were no match at all. When superboy downed the third android on the ground, he heard a woman screaming,"My baby, give me back my baby!"

Superboy made a leapt and landed a ferocious kick at the back of an android which tried to kidnap the baby. The android fell to the floor and superboy grabbed the baby from him.
Now all the androids were sprawling on the ground. Superboy thought it was going to end soon. The woman ran to him and when superboy was about to return the baby to her, the woman looked at the handsome superboy and gave him an evil smile, superboy instantly felt something was wrong, but it was too late, the baby actually was a deadly bait which melted and turned into kryptonic gas.
This gas was so concentrated that with one single inhaling, superboy felt dizzy and weak. Then he felt intent pain on both of his palms, in the blurring vision, he discovered the melting baby was like the most caustic acid ever invented scorching his super skin. He even couldn't ball his fingers into fist because the horrible pain was like eating away his super flesh.

Due to the massively strong kryptonic gas, superboy sensed that the world around him started to swirl, he was dazed and both of his legs started to tremble. He suddenly let out a screeching scream as he felt like his lungs was burning inside his body. He never encountered with this kind of gas before, it was so corosive and damaging that within 2 minutes, superboy was almost completely weakened and maimed. He tried to stand up but he finally kneeled on the floor and when he supported himself by pressing both palms on the ground, the eroded skim and fresh exposed flesh injected new waves of unbearable pain into his both arms. He hurled his head up and his handsome face was contorted in pain.

To his dismay, the woman turned into Lex Luthor, standing in front of him with a sadistic grin. The other 4 androids changed into four of his old enemies which were arrested by him before.

He realised that he was trapped and defeated, he knew that something bad, very bad was going to happen to him.
