DC Heroes in Marvel

Anton rushed to the scene immediately.

By the time he arrived, George Stacey, the captain of the New York Police Department, was already present.

As a seasoned "clean-up" expert, the New York Police Department was never absent when major incidents occurred. However, the task force, including the " turtles," was nowhere to be seen. 

Unlike general terrorist attacks, an explosion like this didn't warrant the task force's involvement. Naturally, this meant the turtles wouldn't be dispatched either.

George and his team were there not only to appease the Jameson family but also to investigate the scene thoroughly and provide explanations to the citizens of New York.

"The nearby surveillance cameras were damaged a day ago," reported one officer.

"Wayne's internal cameras were destroyed in the explosion and cannot be recovered," he added.

George frowned, his expression grim. This was clearly a highly targeted and deliberate attack.

But who would dare to do this?

Did someone have the audacity to provoke Batman himself? George found the thought shocking.

On the internet, it was practically common knowledge that " junior Jameson," the man behind Anton, was none other than Batman. 

Additionally, Wayne Company bore a name synonymous with the legendary Bruce Wayne. To many, including George, Wayne Company was assumed to be Batman's domain, with the Jameson family acting as its stewards rather than its true controllers.

So, again: Who would dare attack Batman's company?

Screech!

A car suddenly broke through the police line.

Anton stepped out of the driver's seat, his expression cold.

"Captain Stacey," Anton greeted George curtly before turning his attention to Jameson, who had just finished speaking with the police.

"What's the situation?" Anton asked, his eyes scanning Jameson quickly to ensure the older man was unharmed. Once reassured, his gaze shifted to the destroyed Wayne Company. 

His face darkened as he growled, "Which bastard dared to blow up our company?"

"We're not sure yet," Jameson replied, shaking his head. He turned to Wick. "Wick, tell him what you know."

"It was two men," Wick said without hesitation. "They weren't afraid of bullets. When I realized there was a problem, I immediately went to find Mr. Jameson. That's when the explosion happened. I don't know much beyond that, but… I think they might have been human bombs."

"Not afraid of bullets, and human bombs," Anton muttered, narrowing his eyes. He paused, lost in thought, before shaking his head. He couldn't piece it together just yet.

"You two should head back," Anton finally instructed Wick. "Take the old man and leave. I'll stay here."

The New York Police Department conducted a thorough investigation but came up empty-handed. After hours of work, they reluctantly informed Anton that they had no leads and proceeded to block off the area, forcing Anton to leave.

Refusing to give up, Anton entered Wayne Company alone after the police cleared the scene. Once inside, he summoned the cyborg and began scanning the area. 

He collected data from the epicenter of the explosion, hoping to find any anomalies.

While no surveillance footage remained, Anton's analysis revealed unusual details.

"Human bombs?" he murmured, frowning deeply. Something about the scenario didn't add up.

The explosion had originated at a specific point, but there were no bodies left behind. This was highly abnormal.

If the attackers had been human bombs, their remains would have been torn apart and burned by the explosion. While their bodies would have been scorched or even partially incinerated, they wouldn't have been completely vaporized.

Under normal circumstances, temperatures of around 600 to 1,000 degrees Celsius would burn a human body, while standard explosives typically produce temperatures exceeding 3,000 degrees Celsius. 

More powerful devices could reach up to 7,000–8,000 degrees, and atomic explosions exceed 50 million degrees.

However, the temperature required to cremate a human body instantly didn't align with the explosive power of the blast.

At the explosion's epicenter, where Anton stood, there were no remains—no fragments, no traces of flesh or bone. It was as though the bodies had been cremated entirely, reduced to nothing but ash.

Anton's frown deepened. What kind of weapon could cause this?

These effects are by no means the result of an ordinary explosion.

If it were, not only would the several floors housing Wayne Company have been destroyed, but the entire building—and even a radius of nearly 100 meters—would have been reduced to rubble.

"Could it be… the explosion was caused by the human body and not by explosives?" Anton muttered to himself.

He sniffed the air but couldn't detect the familiar smell of gunpowder.

While pondering this, Anton collected the remaining data, retracted his cyborg avatar, and left the scene.

At the same time, news of the explosion began to spread online, drawing massive public attention.

Wayne Company had been in the spotlight recently—not only because of its rumored connections to Batman but also due to its groundbreaking body regeneration technology. 

The promise of healing the disabled had catapulted Wayne Company into global fame. The company's ambitious slogans and relentless advertising campaigns had reached almost every corner of the world, particularly among disabled communities.

Naturally, the explosion instantly became a trending topic.

[Wayne Company Bombed?] [Who Has the Guts to Attack Batman's Domain?] [Jameson Family's Unlucky Day!] [Was It Really a Bombing? Or an Experiment Gone Wrong?] [Body Regeneration Technology: A Dangerous Gamble?]

Online discussions were heated, and rumors spread like wildfire.

Some alleged that the explosion was due to a failed experiment rather than an attack.

"I heard the body regeneration experiment went wrong. Someone's body exploded—how terrifying!" one commenter speculated.

Others argued that not even Batman's company could escape the dangers of pushing the limits of human biology.

Despite the New York Police Department's official statements, rumors continued to escalate. The public quickly began to question the safety and reliability of Wayne Company's technology. 

As doubt spread, the number of appointments scheduled on Wayne's official website plummeted, with users withdrawing en masse.

By the time Jonah Jameson returned home, the internet was ablaze with speculation. What had started as a few whispers online had transformed into a full-blown public relations disaster.

Major media outlets and newspapers seized the opportunity to generate headlines, further fueling the controversy:

[Wayne Company Explosion Sparks Questions About Body Regeneration Technology!] [Terrorist Attack or Corporate Cover-Up?] [Is Body Regeneration Technology Truly the Miracle It Claims to Be?]

The story went viral within hours, triggering intense public debate.

It's also worth noting that Wayne's "body regeneration technology" had earned its fair share of enemies. For example, industries catering to disabled individuals stood to lose billions if Wayne's technology succeeded.

Take prosthetics as an example:

High-end prosthetics require advanced craftsmanship and sell for exorbitant prices, generating massive profits for manufacturers. If Wayne's technology eliminated the need for prosthetics altogether, those profits would disappear.

The same applies to other disability-related industries, like wheelchairs and crutches. Even less visible sectors, such as certain exploitative medical services, would face extinction.

In the face of such monumental financial stakes, many of these industries saw Wayne Company—and even Batman—as a threat.

Would they dare to provoke Batman? Absolutely. After all, it wasn't as though Batman would kill them over "normal" business competition. If he did, he'd lose his moral standing as a hero.

Moreover, while most people believed Wayne Company and Batman were connected, there was no official evidence to confirm this relationship.

On paper, Wayne Company was entirely owned by the Jameson family. Bruce Wayne? He didn't appear in any legal documents or public records related to the company. 

To skeptics, it seemed plausible that the Jameson family had merely borrowed Batman's name and reputation for profit.

For these detractors, the explosion provided the perfect excuse to launch their attacks.

Wayne Company was now at the center of a storm.
