Marvel's Superman Chapter 24
Advertisement
Dugan hadn't heard about Luke having any amazing achievements and merits.
Luke's file was no more than a blank sheet of paper.
"I would prefer that you call me Sir." Luke smiled, not the least bit annoyed.
He turned his head, looked at another man sitting next to Dugan, and whispered, "Dino Manelli. Colonel Philips said that you're a master of disguise and at fighting. I am looking forward to seeing what you do."
"And you, Jimmy, Kenneth, Jeff ..."
Luke named everyone one by one.
He had seen the Howling Commandos members' profiles beforehand and had a basic understanding of the team.
"I am your senior officer and the Captain of the Howling Commandos. At least until you receive some new orders, you will obey my command and follow my instructions. " Luke leaned back in his chair and spoke in a rather casual tone.
"Captain Cavill, we are soldiers; we will obey commands. "
It seems that Dugan was the leader of this team. He took the lead in standing up to Luke. "But we only respect capable people, not ..."
"By any chance, are you trying to say that just because I look young, inexperienced, without much merits, I am not qualified enough and i am putting airs in front of you?" Luke impolitely interrupted Dugan, and then with a slight smile, he continued, "I heard that you are proficient in combat and firearms, and even once went behind enemy lines and took out a German operative squad by yourself?"
"That's right. And from then on, everyone calls me 'Dum Dum'."
Dugan said with pride.
The dumdum bullet is a kind of British-made ammunition, commonly known as 'expanding bullet' and 'shrapnel', known for its amazing lethality.
Because of the unbearable pain caused by being shot, international organizations have repeatedly requested that the use of such bullets be banned.

The fact that Dugan was given such a name shows how powerful he is.
"To tell you the truth, I wanted to have a fair fight with you and prove that I am not what you think. However, when I think about it again, it's unfair to compete with you. "
Luke shrugged, took a sip from the stout on the table, and smiled, "So, I'll be a little more direct, so you can see why I went from being a recruit to a Captain, and why I can lead the Howling Commandos. "
"However, I hope you won't be afraid of what you'll see later. "
"Hahaha, Captain Cavill, we all are soldiers who have survived the hell-like battlefield! I will be surprised if there's anything which makes us afraid."
Dugan covered his stomach and laughed exaggeratedly.
In his opinion, Luke was bluffing. Was there anything that could scare him?
...
"Dugan! Did you see that? He lifted the Ford military Jeep with both hands!"
"I've got eyes, you don't have to tell me! And he twisted my lovely Winchester into a knot!"
"Can any of you explain why my combat knife couldn't break through his skin?"
"Is this guy even human?"
"..."
An hour later, Howling Commandos, who had followed Luke to Fort Drum Army Base in Jefferson County, New York, witnessed the most unbelievable and horrific scene in their life.
As they have said, the members of Howling Commandos are all veterans who have experienced many battles and have special skills.
Trenches that buried countless bodies, hanging flesh and blood fragments on barbed wires ...
They have survived that kind of hell, seen the fiercest executioners and played the role of butchers.
Roaring cannons, machine guns spewing fire, steel monster-like tanks ...
You could say, what kind of big scene they haven't seen?!

It's just that ...
When Luke showed the Howling Commandos his power, it completely crushed the inherent perceptions they had built up over the past few decades!
Until then, Dugan and his team had never imagined that anyone could lift a multi-ton military SUV like a barbell!
Was he still human!?
"Don't give me that look. "
Luke's face still had the same calm expression.
No one could see that he had just completed a full set of warm-up exercises with an SUV.
"I am just an ordinary soldier who yearns for peaceful, quiet life. "
...
After a few days of drawing on the energy from the sun, Luke's physique leapt another step.
Unlike Superman, it was difficult for him to carry a plane which weighed hundreds of tons, but lifting an off-road vehicle weighing several tons wasn't a problem.
Even strength similar to that of a Super Soldier was enough to shock anyone.
Superpowers, aliens and other crazy stuff was limited only to science fiction movies and novels.
Thus, Luke's performance shocked all the Howling Commandos!
"You are obviously a monster!"
Dugan, nicknamed 'Dum Dum', took a look at the twisted Winchester and the military jeep that was sitting firmly in place, and silently swallowed his words.
"Cavill... Sir, are you the rumored Super Soldier?"
