I'm a hero in Marvel

Professor Charles and Dr. Hank have pointed out many times that if Roberto could work harder, he would be able to do more than just study the fusion combustion of hydrogen and oxygen. He might even be able to master more fusion methods, including the fusion of various inert elements.

If Roberto can continue training and is willing to cooperate with Dr. Hank's experiments, then humans may become more proficient in controlling element fusion reactions.

However, Roberto responded to Professor Charles' question at the time by saying: "But why should I do this? How will developing new nuclear fusion benefit me?"

His words were a little mundane, but they came from the heart: "My family is the largest supplier of raw materials in South America and even the world. We supply 17% of the world's copper and 15% of the world's tin. I don't think the development of new nuclear fusion technology can bring any benefits to my family business."

Whether this was his excuse to avoid working hard or his true feelings, once Roberto made it clear, Charles and Hank had no reason to force him to work harder to improve his abilities.

Sometimes the world is so unfair. Some people are born powerful, their status is determined at birth, and they are the ones that billions of people can only look up to.

Roberto is such a person. He is not only a top-level Alpha mutant with outstanding abilities, but also the heir to the world's largest raw materials company, Skota Materials Group.

Skekta Huicai Group not only has the largest mineral output in the world, but also has remarkable achievements in agriculture. They own a piece of high-quality farmland close to the Amazon rainforest in the fertile land of South America, which is enviable.

Their company exports 10% of the world's corn and 7% of its soybeans, making it the world's largest food supplier.

In other words, Roberto was born rich and can live a life that most people in the world cannot achieve without any effort.

Although he is a mutant, there is no discrimination against mutants in his life. His mother died early, his father doted on him very much, and he is the only legal heir to the huge company.

His wealthy life made his life trajectory very different from that of most mutants. When his mutant ability got out of control, it brought surprise to his father instead of panic.

Mr. Sketa always proudly said: "My son is really different!"

Roberto went to the mutant school not to find a sense of belonging, because he already had a family. His only goal in going to school was to learn to control his abilities.

Unable to harness his mutant powers, especially those that are extremely destructive, Roberto becomes a potential danger to himself and his family.

Therefore, Roberto stayed in Xavier's School for Gifted Students for three years, but he did not get along well with other mutant students. His innate sense of superiority, although not intentional, but the arrogance that was inadvertently revealed in the conversation always made people feel uncomfortable.

This alienation made Roberto feel like he didn’t belong in school. Two years ago, his father died of angina pectoris, and he hurried back to Brazil from the United States to take over the company, and he never went back to school since then.

Iceman Bob was one of Roberto's best friends during his time at school. Despite the age difference between them, they became true friends. Even after Roberto graduated, the two kept in touch through emails.

"Bob, welcome, my good friend!" A rather exaggerated voice was heard outside a luxurious villa in Rio de Janeiro. Roberto walked out of his mansion wearing a floral shirt and loose cropped trousers full of South American style.

He is a young man with dark skin and three-dimensional features. When Bob brought Katie and another mutant student named Cameron to visit Roberto, Cameron had the ability to move at super fast speeds and was nicknamed "Rush". It was he who brought Katie and Bob from the United States to Brazil in a few minutes.

"I heard that the mutant school was destroyed. I'm really sorry for you." Roberto didn't pay much attention to Katie and Cameron who came with Bob, but walked straight to Bob and patted him on the shoulder.

"I know you must be in a bad mood right now, so just treat this place as your home. You can stay as long as you want! If you need any other services, I will send someone to prepare them for you!"

From Roberto's words, we can feel that this mansion with an area of ​​more than 1,000 square meters and a huge swimming pool is not his residence, but just a place for Bob to stay temporarily in Brazil.

Katie's first impression of Roberto was very bad. She couldn't understand how a rich and dissolute man like Roberto could help. How could Bob think that such a man could help them? Katie was confused.

"Let me introduce you, Roberto. These are our new classmates, Katie and Cameron." Bob introduced Katie to Roberto as he followed Roberto into the house.

In response, Roberto just smiled and nodded without making any further response.

After sitting down on the large and comfortable sofa in the living room, Roberto and Bob talked about the past and some recent events. The price of raw materials in the international market has fluctuated violently recently. It is said that once Tony Stark gets the helium-3 back, the world will probably change dramatically. The market predicts that the next two years will be the last period of crazy price increases for raw materials. When humans are able to develop the moon and even Mars, the value of these raw materials will be greatly reduced.

Roberto had a teasing smile on his face, but his eyes revealed a hint of worry: "Oh! These people are really thinking long-term about developing Mars!"

Bob smiled and didn't comment on this question. He came to Roberto not just to chat and reminisce about the past. Ever since Katie said that day, a certain belief has been burning in everyone's heart.

Young people are always easily ignited by passion. In order to pursue those lofty goals, they are always fearless, which is also the most valuable thing about young people. However, after becoming adults, many people lose that pure and fearless mentality.

"Roberto, it hasn't been easy for us since the mutant school was forced to close." Bob decided to get straight to the point.

"I understand, so I welcome you to visit Brazil. I can even provide job opportunities for you and your two friends. You can live in this house as long as you want." Roberto waved his hand nonchalantly.

However, Bob said seriously: "It's not just us mutants, Roberto. I mentioned earlier that this is a conspiracy planned by Magneto. He is trying to create a split between mutants and ordinary people and then provoke a war."

"Hey, brother, don't say that. This matter is very complicated. I can't take care of the entire mutant group. It is estimated that there are millions or even tens of millions of mutants in the world! This matter is too complicated. I really have no interest in getting involved." Roberto shook his head.

"But what we want to do is exactly what you find troublesome." Bob looked Roberto in the eye and spoke slowly and firmly. He told Roberto in detail what Katie had said that day, even including the plan to establish a country.

After hearing all this, Roberto looked at Katie's face for a long time, and finally asked in an incredulous tone: "Are you serious? A 17-year-old girl told you that we should establish a country, and you foolishly believed it. Are you really going to do it?"

Roberto glanced at Bob, with a look in his eyes that looked like he was looking at an idiot: "I always thought you had a clear mind."

"We're serious!" Bob answered firmly.

Roberto looked at Katie first, then at Bob, and then began to tremble all over. At first he tried to hold it back, but then it was obvious that he could not bear it anymore, and he fell on the sofa and laughed out loud.

"Hahahaha! This is the funniest joke I've heard this year! A group of minors actually dream of establishing a country of mutants! This is ridiculous! Do you think you are the high school saviors in those Japanese anime?"

"Wake up! This is the real world. Since the end of World War II, the global geopolitical structure has been basically determined. It is simply wishful thinking to want to establish an independent country, especially a mutant country!"

Roberto laughed and accused Katie of daydreaming.

Facing Roberto's ridicule, Katie stood up from the sofa, stood still, and looked at Roberto with a serious expression. Her pretty face was full of determination.

"Mr. Roberto, I know you are different from other mutants! You have never experienced the living conditions of most ordinary mutants. Among mutants, there are very few people as rich and powerful as you. Whether you are a mutant or an ordinary person, as a big boss who controls a large amount of material resources, you will be respected and treated with courtesy wherever you go. You have no idea how many difficulties ordinary mutants will encounter in life!"

Katie stared at Roberto. She knew very well that this rich kid was not the same kind of person as her group and their demands were completely different.

As long as Roberto remains wealthy, the plight of the average mutant will never befall him, but as a fellow mutant, it's clear that he doesn't particularly care about the lives of others.

In fact, this is the daily life of many mutants in high positions, who completely isolate themselves from the lower-level mutants. They belong to the same race, but live completely different lives.

The upper-level mutants don't care about the life and death of the lower-level mutants. It is precisely because of this scattered state that Magneto wants to unite the power of all mutants to fight against discrimination and injustice.

Katie looked at Roberto coldly and said in a stern tone: "I know you don't care about the life and death of ordinary mutants, nor do you care about the discrimination they suffer, because all this has nothing to do with you."

"But as you just said, when Tony Stark's helium-3 reaches Earth, the world will undergo earth-shaking changes! For humans, developing the moon and Mars is no longer an unattainable dream. Maybe in ten or twenty years, that day will not be too far away. The decline of the traditional materials industry has become a foreseeable trend."

Katie glanced at the gorgeous house and said, "Roberto, you should cherish the life you have now, because there may be fewer and fewer days like this in the future. Imagine if you become penniless one day, or your children become poor, if the world remains the same, or even gets worse, what kind of situation will you and your family face."
