Marvel: Kryptonian Awakening, I Just Want to Live Quietly Like a Slacker

After transmigrating to the Marvel Universe and becoming a Kryptonian, Ryan has only one goal: to live a lazy, low-profile life.

Mutants cause trouble every other day, and S.H.I.E.L.D. is recruiting people everywhere. All he wants is to hole up in a small Alaskan town, drink cola, watch TV, and quietly bask in the sun.

But there is one problem: the longer he lies in the sun, the more his powers come out.

After being locked up in a Soviet research institute for twenty years, he was starved until he was skin and bones, then tossed into a mass grave. But when the sun shone on him, he came back from the dead.

Super hearing, Heat Vision, a body of steel: he got all of them, and they all emerged on their own.

He had planned to keep playing dead, but trouble just wouldn't leave him alone: Hydra infiltration, a Mutant civil war, alien threats, one thing after another.

Ryan sighed and quietly set down his can of cola, then punched straight through a tank.

"I really don't want to fight, but could you all stop causing trouble in my neighborhood for once?"

When the Avengers finally found him, this was the scene before them: a young man in a cheap T-shirt was squatting on some rubble, eating potato chips, while Doctor Doom lay beaten at his feet.
