New-and-Improved Androids; Entering the Sun's Core

2007 - Arctic Circle - Fortress of Solitude

After putting the finishing touches on the new-and-improved Clark Kent androids (Clarkbots), I put them into hibernation mode.

I've just completed a dozen androids in the form of Clark Kent. The kidnapping by Lex Luthor's thug has driven home the point that my civilian persona can be targeted. If the android were destroyed, and I were somewhere off-planet or doing something important, I don't want my civilian persona missing work.

The androids are equipped with super-strength, enhanced durability, and I based them off the androids from Dragon Ball with their advanced fusion generator so they never have to recharge. If desperate, they can use energy blasts.

While the android can enter self-defense mode and easily beat most enemies, I'd rather not expose those capabilities. The point of my civilian persona is to be unremarkable and allow me to hide in plain sight. It's a camouflage to help me uncover information when I'm needed to go somewhere in person. The superhero persona draws way too much attention. In addition, it's helpful to have a career in journalism where I can help shape public opinion.

I'm also constructing a Martha Kent and Jonathan Kent. I'm still compiling the personality matrices to obtain a believable end product. It was much quicker to create the personality matrix for myself, considering I know how I would react in all scenarios since I know myself. But to get a 100% believable android of my parents, it will take a lot of time. The androids are basically like something out of Black Mirror. A true representation of a person based on all the data of a person's life.

Everyone's life can be converted to data. Once you gather enough information through gathering their texts, speech, personal records, documenting all their memories, and have the proper programming, you can completely catalogue a person's responses in nearly every scenario. It creates an approximation of the real person and how they would act in life that is indistinguishable from the true person.

As creepy as this sounds, I've been recording thousands of hours of my parents in their home life, at work, enjoying leisure time, and in every facet of their life. The androids for them are nearly completed. But I want them to be perfect, so I'm going to continue to collect data to observe them interacting with hundreds of different people, record the interactions and improve the programming. Then, once I collect enough data, the androids can seamlessly integrate into their lives in the event they're needed. Why am I making androids for my parents?

For many reasons. What if Kelex picks up a ploy to kidnap my parents and hold them for ransom? Simple. I place an android there, and let them take the android to the kidnapper's base and go wreck the place as Superman. If I'm not around, Kelex can deploy the android in my absence and the androids can perform takedowns, as well - or even alert the Justice League.

What if one of them is severely injured or sick and my nanobots are having trouble fixing them? I can deploy an android to pick up their personal responsibilities while I figure out how to fix them.

I'd like to obtain an immortality serum or option at some point for my parents, but I don't know if they'd take it. If they rejected it maybe they'd accept having their brains uploaded into an android, and if they died as an android, they'd immediately be resurrected in another android. That's a great idea! I should create a resurrection ship with hundreds of backup droids. With the current system, if the droid were completely destroyed, there would be some memory loss when the next droid steps into the role. This would lead to inefficiency because the new droid wouldn't know what exactly was going on in that person's life. They could muddle through it, but it's inefficient.

At this point, it's like Battlestar Galactica. I've improved the androids to be like Cylons. They're almost identical to humans.

What if the Cylons rebel and I set off a plot that destroys humanity? Oh well, we'll deal with that if it becomes an eventuality.

Cylon Model #1 is Clark Kent. #2 is Jonathan Kent. #3 is Martha Kent. I wonder how many more android/Cylons I'll create. Hmmm...I should probably find someone hot for #6 to be just like BSG.

I've finished my work in the Fortress, so I get completely nude and head into outer space. I fly towards the Sun.

I've taken so many trips to the Sun, and each time I've gotten closer and closer. I feel as though with all of the trips, I've increased by energy capacity and my powers continue to grow. If I didn't have adaptive physiology, I would probably be afraid the Sun would kill me. I'm almost positive that a much older Clark Kent was the one who would take sun dips. But he also never attempted to do what I've done with my regular trips to the sun in the nude, exposing my entire body to the direct sun as close as possible. And this is over the period of about 6 years. I should be strong enough.

I'm not worried about an All Star Superman scenario where my cells overcharge to the point that I'll die in a year. Because of the personal dimension I'm connected to with unlimited capacity, if it ever reaches a point where it's too much energy, it will bleed over into the dimension and fill up there. So now, when I'm at 100% charge, I'll never stop drawing energy. It will keep filling up my personal energy dimension.

It's almost like One For All of My Hero Academia. The stockpile is my personal dimension and it cannot be entirely filled.

And how often does Superman ever reach 100% capacity? Other than sun dips, it's not possible. So an almost limitless energy capacity to begin with, coupled with a personal dimension with unlimited capacity, and I will always have energy. I don't foresee myself ever becoming weak via exhausting my energy source given my storage capacity sources.

I'm also hoping that with my adaptive physiology, my cells will keep evolving as they absorb the energy. Maybe they'll burn out and create even more advanced cells. This may happen over and over and over until my body reaches a point where it turns into Superman Prime One Million. I may even be an even more improved version of Prime One Million considering the original Superman didn't have an adaptive physiology, so who knows what powers I'll get?

I reach the Sun and immediately reach the surface. It's not quite painful, but I feel straining in my body. I let the gravity drag me into the Sun and feel it - like it's trying to consume me, but eventually I feel comfort. And as more time passes, I move in the direction to the core of the sun. I slowly drift as I feel my body change. When I reach the core of the Sun, I enter a meditative state like transcendental meditation. I focus on my being to allow me to hibernate through this process.

I'm not sure how much time passes, but after what feels like a month, I emerge from the Sun feeling whole. Like I was missing a piece of myself previously and my body has finally found that missing piece. Like emerging from a cocoon, I've changed.

No. Not whole. More than whole. Every cell in my body glows. A million lanterns, a million flames lit by effort, by steady hands.

It's so quiet here near the Sun despite the roar of the solar flares, the constant fusion. I would like to stay much longer, but I'm not sure how much time has passed.

This has been enough. Time to go back home.
