"No one knows it better than me!"
"Superheroes?
No, haven't you noticed that since superheroes left, your … our social security has become better? "
"Compared to superheroes, I prefer supercops."
"Of course, this is indisputable. No one knows and understands superheroes better than me."
"And as a country of freedom, equality, non-discrimination, and free speech, I think the current America is better than any other time!"
At the White House, at a press conference, President Trump of the United States was giving an impassioned speech.
Of course, there were many voices of opposition, such as the degenerated Voice of America, and Fox, which was now full of villains, etc.
Trump knew what these people were thinking.
Since World War II, the first superhero, Captain America, was born.
From then on, the concept of superheroes was like a seed, buried in the bottom of everyone's heart.
As a capitalized country, superheroes were not as simple as a symbol, especially in the modern era where information was developed. The identity of superheroes had been changed several times and even formed a complete industrial chain.
Why did The Daily Bugle publish photos of Spiderman?
Why did Fox News interview Iron Man so frequently?
And that damn Voice of America, why could news reports about superheroes account for 20% of the total?
Capitalization was terrible, when the first person saw the value of superheroes.
Soon, this market would be commercialized, and then spread to other fields like a virus.
The most terrible thing was that there were barriers between most different fields, but superheroes did not have barriers. It was like liking anime, not necessarily liking comics, but they could all like the same character.
For example, they all liked Spiderman, but those who watched movies looked down on those who watched anime, those who watched anime looked down on those who read comics, and those who read comics looked down on those who watched movies and anime.
But it was undeniable that they were all fans of Spiderman, and they all supported the high school student who would never grow up. This was the horror of superheroes.
The biggest contradiction between superheroes and ordinary people was not the so-called unfair phenomenon, but the huge gap between the two sides, and these gaps made it impossible for ordinary people to have a good impression of superheroes. But what if superheroes were turned into entertainment?
Celebrities, favorites of the music industry, Hollywood actors, which one of them did not have wealth that ordinary people could not imagine in their lifetime? But would anyone be jealous of them?
Would anyone hate them?
No, this was the biggest advantage of entertainment — being close to the people!
You can't help but overlook the original shining points of these people, thus giving rise to the misconception that the reason they can live such a life is because of us poor people.
Of course, there were those who liked it and those who didn't.
However, for most superheroes, it was enough to have those they liked.
TikTok, Twitter, YouTube.
Food, adventure, and survival in the wilderness.
Nobody knew when it started, but everyone was surprised to find out.
Compared to the big eater Mi Zijun, the Hulk looked better when he was eating, and he looked silly and cute.
The tall and mighty Steel Warrior was actually like this on a normal day. It was a perfect display of the contrast between the two of them.
Bear Grylls and Bear De's Survival in the Wild?
Stop fooling around. Why are you talking about these two weaklings? Wolverine will show you the local customs of Skull Island and show you what a true wild survival is.
Fighting with a two-meter tall Blade Ridge Jackal, riding a ten-meter tall Island Bull Demon through the Thousand Lakes Secret Realm, and barbecuing a wild boar-sized Skull Island rabbit at night. Compared to the survival in the wilderness of ordinary humans, the survival in the wild of the mutants was really delicious!
Even Magneto, who had committed crimes against humanity, had successfully become a blogger with tens of millions of fans after imitating the Australian boy's house building video.
After all, the Australian boy played with mud at most, but Magneto was different. This guy was proficient in the languages of more than ten countries, had a lot of short life stories, and could play with steel like mud. This greatly changed everyone's impression of the mutants.
This was the Internet. Winning or losing was not important, what was important was whether or not one could stand out and attract attention.
As long as you were good, there would be a large number of people chasing after you. The value of superheroes was completely tied to the market economy through the operation of market commercialization.
This was also what made Trump uneasy, because superheroes were different from celebrities.
No matter how influential a celebrity was, they were still a celebrity.
There were seven billion people on Earth, and at least three billion of them knew about Monroe. Her influence was even greater than that of the President of America. However, who knew that there was a red couch in Hollywood that even a big shot like Monroe had to squat down to help others unbuckle their belts?
However, superheroes were different. They had great power themselves. What if they could get the support of the people?
Was the United States their United States or the United States of superheroes?
Therefore, Trump said that he wanted to get rid of superheroes at this press conference.
Unfortunately, capital was something that no one could control. The dividends brought by superheroes had reached a sufficient scale.
Therefore, a large number of media outlets refuted his words as soon as they came out.
It could not be helped. There were all kinds of monsters and monsters hidden inside this huge cake. Therefore, Trump only spoke at the press conference at the White House, and did not really draft a bill to get rid of superheroes.
It could only be said that it was too difficult to be a baby.
At the same time, on Skull Island, which was known as the eighth continental plate on Earth …
Although the United Nations did not recognize this place, it was undeniable that there were enough traces of human activity on Skull Island.
Even though more than 98% of Skull Island was still covered by fog, a large city with a population of more than a million had appeared here in just a few years.
Although this number was nothing in the world.
After all, large cities like Beijing and Shanghai had a population of more than ten million. However, considering that Skull Island was a city where more than 70% of the people had special abilities?
To be honest, this city was a little scary.
Of course, this was not the scariest part. The scariest part was that there were still close to 30% of normal humans who were willing to live with mutated humans.
This was a good sign for mutated humans. In a sense, one day in the future, humans might really coexist peacefully with mutated humans. They might even be proud of mutated humans.
However, this was not good news for the current power system.
After all, the world was only so big. If mutated humans gained power, it would mean that others would lose it.
However, at this moment, inside the Holy City of Superpowers, as the first mayor of the city and one of the planners of the change of the entire city, Professor X couldn't help but smile when he heard Chuan Baobao's lame speech.
Many people thought that the huge change in the eyes of the public in the past two years was mainly due to Professor X.
Of course, this was also inseparable from the strong support of Iron Man, Tony Stark, and S.H.E.L.D. Nick Frey.
However, the main decision maker was actually Professor X. After all, he had single-handedly promoted the entertainment of superheroes.
However, in reality, before Professor X, had no one tried to make superheroes entertainment so that the relationship between the public and superheroes would be closer?
Yes, that person was even more powerful than Professor X. His influence was even worldwide.
Yes, that person was Nagini. However, in the end, Nagini failed.
Why?
It was not because Nagini was not strong enough, nor was it because he was too strong. It was because the American government was hostile to superheroes at that time.
Because the United States had expressed its stance, it led a large group of people to oppose superheroes. This was the power of authority. The simplest example was Nagini, who would never win an Oscar.
The reason why Professor X succeeded was that a few years ago, Professor X and the American government reached an agreement when they were targeting Titan Biology.
Even if Trump intended to deny it after the event, he still expressed his stance. During this period, no one knew Trump's true thoughts.
By the time Baby Chuan reacted and realized that he seemed to have been tricked, it was already too late for him to stop it.
After all, capital was ruthless and cold. Making it spit out the fat meat in its mouth was worse than killing it.
However, these were all secondary. After watching the White House press conference, Professor X rubbed his eyebrows. He looked up at the time and asked Gretchen to pour him two cups of coffee.
The reason why it was two cups instead of one was mainly because he was going to meet someone next.
This person was called Strange, a very powerful mage.
Professor X was not very familiar with Strange, mainly because of Nagini.
After all, the mutants, S.H.E.L.D., and of course, Tony Stark, who was now leading the Avengers, had a good relationship with Nagini. They had already formed a body of interests.
On the other hand, the supreme mage Strange had always had an awkward relationship with him due to historical issues. Therefore, he had always been outside the core circle.
Professor X did not know why Strange wanted to see him. After all, everyone was having fun on their own before.
However, Strange was still a supreme mage and was one of the top powerhouses on Earth. He was even stronger than Professor X. Therefore, in order to deal with this meeting, Professor X called Gretchen, who had gone to explore the depths of Skull Island, back.
At 9: 30 a.m. on Skull Island, Gretchen walked in with two cups of coffee.
Strange tore open space on time and appeared in front of Professor X.
However, an awkward scene happened. Strange ignored Professor X, who had reached out his hand and was looking at him with a smile. He looked up at the window not far away. "Three …"
Professor X, "?"
"Two …"
Gretchen was stunned for a moment. She turned to look at Professor X with a questioning look in her eyes. It was as if she was asking, "Should I make a move?"
Professor X shook his head vaguely. Although the relationship between the two was ordinary, Professor X believed that Strange would not be so shameless as to attack the Holy City of Superpowers.
After all, there were not only mutants in the Holy City of Mutants, but also the Avengers and a large number of other superpowers. There were even close to 30% of the ordinary human population.
And the moment Strange shouted "one"?
"Boom!"
In an instant, an ear-piercing roar sounded as if it was going to overturn the city. Outside the city, along with the billowing smoke, hundreds of strange machines emitting a technological luster could be vaguely seen. They were like tall buildings standing in the forest.
