As a freshman at Texas A&M University in 2015, Matthew's image and temperament were quite top-tier.
The evolutionary stock brought him not only huge potential and talent but also gave him a more upright physique and a more outstanding appearance than before.
Although his moniker is Gecko, when he is not using his abilities, he looks like a pretty good-looking, carefree young man.
The perseverance and sharp edge forged in the blood and fire of maintaining justice are only inadvertently revealed when he puts on his Gecko superhero suit.
"Temperament No. 1."
In Matthew's own words: "I learned this from the Superman Couple. Although I am a millionaire now, and also a famous and powerful idol-style superhero, as long as I don't say it, no one will know my identity even if I stand right in front of them. This is called acting."
Compared to his strength progress over the past two years, it is his acting skills that Matthew is proud of; this is the key to him still being able to enjoy the life of an ordinary person.
It is for this reason that Matthew admires the foresight of Shawn and Mira.
However, he is not of the Superman family after all, and without the continuous camouflage of a 'Bio-field', he is still on the watch list of certain special groups.
It's just that now, as one of the three giants of the 'House of Superman', no one dares to test his edge.
A year ago, when Matthew helped his companion Blindspot handle the activities of a large foreign terrorist organization, he used 'Short-body Split', combined with powerful combat instincts and heaven-defying regenerative abilities.
Single-handedly, he managed to produce the effect of a hundred-man squad.
He successfully blocked the dense crowd of Superhuman terrorists outside the Los Angeles Bay, and after fighting for half the night, annihilated over a hundred enemies.
This tough report card truly cemented Gecko's status as a giant of the 'House of Superman'.
Now, even if some individuals and organizations in America know his private identity, they would choose to turn a blind eye and would not choose to uncover this mystery unless necessary.
Just kidding.
A young superhero who, apart from Homelander, is slightly better than 'The Seven' in strength.
A capable general under the Superman Couple.
He never kills the innocent, and is either on the way to maintaining justice or has just returned from punishing evil and promoting good, at most taking some small commercials to expand his private wallet.
Such a rare lawful Superhuman, not to mention cherishing him, who would be bored enough to dare to provoke him?!
Of course, if we turn the clock back one year.
There were still people who wanted to plot against Gecko.
Grace Mallory, a high-level official of the Central Intelligence Agency, and the Superhuman monitoring department she organized, had quietly included him in their supervision scope after he just came of age, and tried to strictly constrain his code of conduct.
It sounds ridiculous.
The key factor that allowed this plan to be put into action was utilizing the kindness and justice in the hearts of the three giants of the 'House of Superman'.
I don't know if it was a bad idea thought up by that idiot named Butcher.
The Boys department, the first step of their plan, was to contact Matthew, letting him get involved in that globally shocking Superhuman terrorist case.
Even Blindspot calling friends and bringing in Gecko and Supersonic was an unexpected gain in their eyes.
Butcher was full of confidence: "Listen to me, we have already won this situation; they are all prey that have walked into the trap."
Butcher's The Boys department tried to figure out the private connections between the three and the weaknesses in their respective characters through contact during large-scale events.
They naively hoped that when a few righteous young people were involved in a Superhuman case and were unable to handle it, they could use the vast resources and official background of the CIA to semi-threaten and semi-persuade them to be absorbed for their own use.
Life-threatening Superhuman terrorist attacks were just tools they could manipulate and use in their eyes, and the life and Death of ordinary people were just slogans they shouted to achieve personal goals.
Such a department, walking on the edge of light and darkness, not even representing the official power of America, how could it win the favor of the three from the 'House of Superman'?
SupersonicAlex commented afterward:
"Mallory's The Boys department is not that it cannot exist, but there is a big problem here. Its members act entirely on personal likes and dislikes. For example, that guy named Butcher, he hates all Superhumans. This paranoia exceeds moral benchmarks."
The two sides completely broke up after just one joint operation.
This event also made the names of the three new stars, Blindspot, Gecko, and Supersonic, resound throughout the United States, making everyone realize that the superheroes of the 'House of Superman' actually had such heaven-defying strength!
Speaking of the other protagonist of this sensational event, that terrorist organization, Vought International was surprisingly well aware of it too.
It was exactly the daring 'Shining Light', which had secret branches all over the world!
Its North American branch was once destroyed by Homelander because of looting a compound v transport truck, but it was quickly and secretly reorganized.
After Edgar's Death, the actions of 'Shining Light' in America were no longer as cautious as before; in a sense, it was released.
Perhaps Madelyn and Homelander were busy maintaining Vought International's existing business, so that Vought's drug delivery system had a little chaos.
'Shining Light' took this rare opportunity, and their channels to obtain compound v unexpectedly increased!
This organization created a large number of Superhumans in a short period of time, many of whom had abilities with considerable practicality.
The information Butcher disclosed to Blindspot was the detailed record of this batch of Superhumans smuggling into America one after another. Blindspot smelled danger in it, so he asked for help.
Mallory and Butcher had a good plan, but unfortunately, they miscalculated the strength of Matthew and his friends, and underestimated their familiarity with the Superman Couple.
In the past year or two, Shawn and Mira's activity areas have gradually expanded from Texas to the whole of America, and finally to the extent of traveling the world.
They are the only two recognized world-class powerhouses besides Homelander.
Butcher revealed the time of the joint operation and instructed Gecko and the other two on how to expand the results during the operation, which was actually tricking the three of them into blocking the main force of the 'Shining Light' branch.
Before that anti-terrorism operation, Gecko showed a clever and shameless side.
While Blindspot and Supersonic were still seriously analyzing the enemy situation, Gecko made an encrypted call to Shawn.
The situation at that time was like this.
"Hey, it's me... Little Chris, let your dad answer the phone!"
On a ship, Gecko said concisely: "Mr. Kent, I found a thorny, terrorist-leaning Superhuman organization here called 'Shining Light'. CIA personnel contacted us, hoping we could assist in destroying it."
Coincidentally, Shawn had just returned from vacation in the Dragon Kingdom.
