I'm a hero in Marvel

Chapter 14 Magneto

Although Professor Charles is old, he is still busy as usual. He has devoted his life to the cause of mutants, and he has done his best for me and everyone here, mutant teenagers like us.

"No matter how strong a protective umbrella is, it will decay one day. The professor is indeed old." When Katie mentioned that the professor was old, the whole audience fell silent. What Magneto had thought of might also be a fact that they had never dared to imagine in their hearts. Due to the influence of X-gene fusion, mutants with higher degrees of fusion, such as Alpha and Beta, may have longer lifespans. But this still cannot change the fact that the professor is indeed entering old age. Facing the silence in the audience, Katie continued: "The professor has done enough for us, he should rest. Just like my grandfather, who worked hard all his life, I hope that the professor will no longer spend his days in struggle in the future. He should be like an ordinary person, with time to play chess with others, or play his favorite games, or even attend senior citizen gatherings and find a suitable life partner."

Katie's last words drew laughter from everyone. She interpreted the image of Professor X in another way from a female perspective. In the eyes of this gentle and tough girl, Professor X was not an extraordinary hero, but a kind old man.

Katie smiled and continued, "The professor is old, and so is Magneto. Moreover, Magneto's ideas are no longer relevant, and he is even older than the professor. To put it bluntly, he already has one foot in the grave! Why would a dying person interfere in the lives of us living people?"

Katie waved her little fist and shouted: "Perhaps the Professor and Magneto don't realize that their time has passed!"

Katie's point of view shocked many students at this moment. They exchanged glances with each other and found that each other's eyes were also full of surprise.

"And we are the future of mutants! We are younger and we have more time. Only we ourselves can choose the path we want to take! The future of mutants should be decided by young people, not two old people! Because they may not understand at all what kind of life we ​​are pursuing!" Katie's speech became more and more fluent, and she only wanted to express her thoughts.

"So what do you want, Katie?" Bob looked at Katie, his eyes full of disbelief. The naughty girl beside him looked at Katie, her eyes full of recognition and even admiration.

"It's an idea that may be immature and a little ridiculous. I'm not sure if it can be put into practice, but I want to give it a try." Katie seemed a little hesitant, but finally said it.

"I think we should build a country - a real mutant country! This does not mean the radical idea of ​​mutants ruling ordinary people or ordinary people ruling mutants! What we need is actually a platform for equal dialogue, to be able to communicate with governments of various countries on an equal footing!"

Katie's eyes sparkled with anticipation. "Only when we stand on the same level as them will they be willing to listen to our opinions. This country will welcome mutant immigrants, and those mutants who are discriminated against in human society will have a place to go. In my opinion, this is an upgraded version of Xavier's School for Gifted People, and we are going to expand it into a country!"

"We should love peace, but we are not afraid of war. We should not take the initiative to provoke trouble, but if trouble comes, we will not shrink back! The Jews can establish Israel, so why can't mutants establish their own New Eden?"

"My ideas are still immature, and I don't even know how to build a political system. But I am willing to try, and I hope to contact those mutant friends outside, especially those pacifists and neutrals. I believe they may be impressed by my ideas." At this point, Katie smiled shyly, she was not sure if she was confident enough.

"Of course, my plan may fail. But I want to give it a try. At least I won't regret it after doing so. Now I want to ask everyone here, is there anyone who shares the same ideals as me? Let us use the voices of young mutants to express our own position on the future! This time, the future of mutants should not be decided by a few people!"

Katie said this firmly, and at the same time slowly raised her right hand, clenching her fist and holding it in the air.

The students in the audience looked at each other, then the first one raised his fist, followed by the second, the third, and more and more students raised their arms into the air.

Naughty Girl raised her fist, and Iceman Bob also raised his fist. Soon, all the students present raised their fists. At this moment, everyone who raised a fist was a comrade!

Katie had tears in her eyes and tried hard not to let them fall. She said in a trembling voice: "Our future should be decided by ourselves!"

On this day, perhaps Magneto, Professor X, and Li Jie did not expect it. Katie interpreted the future development of mutants with her female perspective and unique charm.

And the phrase "Our future is determined by ourselves" will spread to every corner of the world from now on.

In this world, the differences between boys and girls are not only reflected in their physical structure. Many times, there are huge differences in the way women and men think, which many boys do not understand deeply.

Take Magneto and Professor X, for example, they are both committed to improving the living environment of mutants. Professor X hopes to gradually change the world through peaceful evolution over time.

However, Magneto is looking forward to a revolution, a thorough change. He hopes to establish a clear boundary between ordinary people and mutants, trigger racial confrontation, and then use the power of unified mutants to launch an armed uprising, striving to solve the problem in one fell swoop.

The leaders of these two mutant factions are like two sides of the same coin, with the same vision but diametrically opposed methods of action. However, one thing they have in common is that their goals are extremely grand, and from the very beginning they have focused on the survival of mutants on a global scale.

They don't just want to solve the problems of a certain city or region, but to create a global wave. Their goal is to quickly expand their influence around the world based on the United States. To some extent, this idea is not wrong. After all, as a world power, the United States' every move will always attract many followers.

Whether it is Charles (Professor X)'s plan or Magneto's plan, it will take a long time to realize, and there may be countless unknown twists and turns in the whole process.

Men, especially those with extraordinary powers like Magneto and Professor X, often set ambitious goals. However, as a woman, Katie's views and way of thinking are completely different. She does not intend to provoke any kind of revolution, whether it is an armed uprising or a peaceful evolution, these are not among her appeals.

Katie does not put herself in a superior position, nor does she think that anyone can decide the future of mutants alone. For her, such an approach is both authoritarian and selfish. All she really wants is to create a "home", which is the biggest difference between her and other male leaders. She does not have such lofty ambitions, nor does she fantasize about changing the world of the entire mutant group. As a woman, she is naturally inclusive and tender.

The destruction of Xavier's School for Gifted People left her without a shelter, so in Katie's simple idea, she hopes to rebuild a larger, safer, and more welcoming shelter - a "home" for mutants. For her, confrontation and violence, evolution and revolution are not her focus.

Just as she had vowed, she only wanted a place where discriminated mutants could find a place to belong. It was precisely because of this pragmatic attitude and personal charm that all the students at the scene firmly chose to support Katie instead of Magneto or Professor X.

For most ordinary people, they don't have the lofty ideal of changing the world. They don't dare to hope to do this, because most people are just ordinary people, and even if they have superpowers, they can't expect everyone to become a superhero.

Therefore, Katie's proposal was widely recognized. At this time, Iceman Bob suddenly realized that there might be someone who could help Katie's plan, because she wanted to build a country!

"Katie, I think I know someone who can help!" said Bob.

"Who is it?" Katie asked expectantly.

"A super-rich man living in Brazil, he used to be a student of our school, his name is Roberto Scieta. Of course, if you find this name hard to remember, you can call him 'Sunspot'!" Bob's face was filled with smiles when he mentioned this name. Maybe with his help, Katie's plan will be more successful!

……

Because Magneto's plan triggered a series of changes, the Illuminati's plan was supposed to be announced after the organizational structure was perfected. But now the situation is pressing and it has to be made public in advance.

Therefore, the saying "plans cannot keep up with changes" is indeed very reasonable. On the night of the call with Tony, Tony replied that he had found a secret base that was absolutely confidential and would not be discovered by any government agency as a temporary base, but the base was far away from New York. Li Jie agreed with this and thought it was safer to stay away from New York.

When Li Jie arrived at the meeting place designated by Tony, Professor Charles and Hank were already waiting there. Before Tony arrived, to Li Jie's surprise, Captain Rogers also showed up here.

"Tony told me he had some crazy ideas and hoped I could be involved. To be honest, I never thought he would invite me to join any of his plans. I thought he didn't like me." Captain Rogers said when he met Li Jie.

Although Captain Rogers has always been one of the candidate members of the Illuminati, Li Jie did not expect Tony to take the initiative to invite Captain to join. He thought he needed to bring it up himself. However, in view of the current turmoil among mutants caused by Magneto, Li Jie felt that they needed more supporters from the official side, and Captain Rogers was one of the few trustworthy people in the official organization.
