I'm a hero in Marvel

Chapter 25 Far-reaching Impact

There is a high possibility that the copyrights of those heroic characters will be sold at a low price, which is not what Li Jie wants to see. Therefore, it is urgent for Marvel to raise a second round of financing and use it to expand the entire company.

Li Jie recalled the powerful Marvel Entertainment Empire in his previous life. Although it was eventually acquired by the Walt Disney Company, it also had an extremely glorious era. Marvel Studios was once an extremely influential brand in the industry.

The Marvel company founded by Li Jie today has the same name as the company in his previous life, but its fate and strategy are completely different. The heroes under Li Jie are all real people, not fictional characters in comics, and they are also supported by strong financial forces such as the Osborn Group.

When Li Jie discussed the expansion of the comic company with Harry, Harry agreed to the plan without hesitation. Because from the overall industry planning and future development prospects, Marvel will no longer be just a single superhero comic company. The company will build a huge entertainment empire around superheroes, which can not only realize the concept of "good people get good rewards" advocated by Li Jie, but also become a super profitable giant in the future.

Since ancient times, everything has the potential to become obsolete, but entertainment is the only thing that never goes out of style. An excellent fairy tale can be passed down for a hundred years, a good book can be passed down for hundreds of years, and a good song can even be passed down for a thousand years.

So Harry has instructed his staff to start calculating the amount of funds needed for the second round of financing, and Li Jie's plan is also expanding, requiring more and more resources. For Marvel, the goal of becoming a world-class company is only a matter of time.

Day after day, the busyness of life quietly fades away, like quicksand slipping through fingers. In the blink of an eye, the last days of high school also slip away. After the SAT exam, Li Jie and Peter's high school career will also come to an end.

Li Jie decided to move out of his home after graduation because he had many things that he couldn't let his family know, so it was very inconvenient to live at home. His parents didn't object to this, after all, he was already an adult, and he was exactly 18 years old this year.

While Li Jie was looking for a suitable property, two unexpected visitors came to him. They were Wolverine Logan and his son Daken. They were looking for Nightcrawler and seeking help.

Compared to the United States, Canada is a country with a vast territory and a sparse population. Its territory is not inferior to that of the United States, but its total population is only about 40 million, and these few citizens live scattered across this vast land.

Apart from a few cities like Ottawa and Vancouver that can accommodate millions of people, most Canadian cities have a population of only around 100,000 people, and some even have only tens of thousands or even thousands of people. This is very common in Canada.

Since Charles decided to temporarily close the School for Gifted Mutants, he and the X-Men have been living in Canada. As Charles had expected, Stryker did lead the team to try to retaliate against the School for Gifted Mutants.

Although this action was not approved by Congress and was illegal, Stryker did not care about that at the time and prepared to attack with the remaining men, but ended up with nothing. This incident had a profound impact on Stryker's military career.

For the military and the government, the act of a general disobeying orders and sending troops without authorization is extremely serious. Any regime in history hates such behavior. Therefore, Stryker is very likely to be sent to a military court for his rash behavior.

Today, the X-Men are temporarily living near a small town at the foot of the Canadian Rockies, in a secluded forest villa at the foot of the mountain. It takes about two hours to drive from the nearest small city with a population of 20,000, so it can be said to be a relatively safe and secluded place.

Charles had sent all the students home. Of course, he didn't know that some of the students were not obedient, young people who were preparing to establish their own country.

Apart from these people, the only underage who has been following the X-Men is Daken, because he is Logan's son and he has nowhere to go except to follow his father.

At this moment, Deacon is deeply guilty. He believes that it was his behavior that triggered a series of chain reactions. He was deceived and acted as a pawn of others without knowing it, killing a city councilman, which triggered a series of subsequent events.

Although Professor Charles and the X-Men knew that Daken was innocently involved in the incident, even if Magneto did not use Paul to induce Daken to kill, he would have found other alternatives. All this happened just by chance. As long as Magneto's plan at the time did not change, the final result would still be the same.

The X-Men in this situation are not stupid, so there is no sensational and bloody plot like in ordinary TV shows or movies. For example, ridiculous things like everyone blaming and besieging Daken, or even driving away Wolverine did not happen.

On the contrary, everyone was comforting Daken, telling him that the disbanding of the school was not his fault, and he was just accidentally involved in it. Everyone hoped that he could let go of this past, because the psychological trauma left in adolescence may accompany a person for a lifetime.

However, Daken did not seem to be successfully comforted by anyone, and he became more and more depressed. He missed the mutant school and his companions who were similar to him. But now, everything is gone.

He hated Magneto and Paul, but what he hated most was himself. Now he sat by the lake in front of his villa every day and stared blankly. From here, he could see the majestic Rocky Mountains from afar, with the snow-capped mountain tops reflecting the deep blue sky. However, Daken had no intention of appreciating all these beautiful views at the moment.

The pain and torment made him want nothing more than to find Magneto and Paul, and dig out their hearts with his sharp claws!

"He's in very bad condition." Charles whispered this while standing at the window on the second floor of the villa, looking out at Daken by the lake.

Next to him was Wolverine Logan. Logan felt a little regretful at the moment. He guessed why Paul the Fireman only lured Daken to kill people instead of other mutant students. It was probably because he dragged Daken out of the classroom like a dead dog that time, making him lose face in front of everyone. Daken was taking revenge on him in this way.

For the first time, Logan felt regret for his reckless behavior.

"Logan, you have to understand that some psychological traumas can accompany a person for a lifetime." Charles turned to Logan and said seriously, "I have educated many mutant children, and Daken is undoubtedly the most worried one. This is related to his childhood experiences."

"This incident has placed a heavy psychological burden on him. If he can't get rid of it, I dare not predict what his future will be like." Charles' words made Logan's heart sink.

"Professor, can't you use your thinking ability to help him?" Logan asked pleadingly.

"That's only a temporary solution, Logan. I can use my abilities to build a mental cage in Daken's mind to stop him from thinking about those things, but that doesn't mean those things never happened. You should know that the greater the pressure, the stronger the backlash!" Charles answered seriously.

"I can erase Deacon's memory, but what about others? Do I have to erase the memory of everyone in the world and make them forget about this?" Logan was silent about this question. He knew that the professor's moral bottom line would not allow him to do so. But as a father, Logan did not want his son to fall into darkness.

"Is there no other way?" Logan asked helplessly.

Charles sat in a wheelchair and looked deeply at Logan. "This child is too much like you, Logan. When he loses control and lets his inner violent tendencies burst out, he becomes a crazy and bloodthirsty beast. But Deacon's ability exceeds even yours. When his potential is fully realized, he will become even more terrifying."

"He inherited your violent gene and is more capable than you, but lacks your self-control. To be honest, this is a very dangerous situation," Charles said seriously.

And this is exactly what Logan doesn't want to see Daken become.

"That's why I came to you for a solution, Professor." Logan admitted that he could no longer think of any good way to solve Daken's problem.

Charles looked at Logan and said, "You are Daken's father and also his role model. Sometimes the power of role models can give people deep support in their hearts. Therefore, Logan, I think what we need to solve now is not only Daken's problem, but also your own problem."

"What do you mean?" Logan was a little confused about the deeper meaning of the professor's words.

"Your anger and violence are the sources of your power, but you are not yet good enough to control it well. You and your son are different from other mutants, I can feel it." Charles looked towards the lake reflecting the Rocky Mountains.

"I think you need to learn another power."

"What kind of power?" Logan asked intently.

"A power to control one's own spirit. I have seen this power in both Iron Fist and Nightcrawler. Perhaps you and Daken should practice spiritual cultivation like the Buddhist monks in the East."

A stone was thrown into the middle of a lake, creating ripples, and the reflection of the Rocky Mountains loomed on the lake surface...

Ever since Thor became addicted to cola fried chicken and became extremely obese due to his gluttony, Li Jie felt that everything had changed.

Because Thor plays an important role in Li Jie's life plan. Without Thor, many things will be in turmoil. Li Jie does not expect Thor to be as smart as his brother Loki, but he does not want to see Thor become a fat otaku who only knows how to watch TV and eat fried chicken. This is undoubtedly a disaster for Li Jie.

So before Thor regained his divine power, Li Jie had to turn this fat Thor back to normal. If Thor's body didn't recover when he regained his divine power, it would be a big show. You have to know that the body of a god is very different from that of a human. Once a god's body is fixed, it is difficult to change its appearance. If Thor had learned to be humble and regained his divine power before he successfully lost weight, the scene would be very embarrassing.

At that time, Odin might see a chubby Thor wandering around in his heavenly palace. I think Odin would be very happy to send Li Jie a destructive thunder to let him have a taste of it.

So now Li Jie decided to put aside the troublesome matter of making Thor learn humility for the time being. The first priority is to make Thor lose fat as soon as possible!

In terms of density, the density of muscle is about 1.5 times that of fat. That is to say, at the same weight, the volume of fat is 1.5 times that of muscle.

Therefore, under the same height and weight, people with higher body fat percentage will look more bloated. This explains why some people look fat, but in fact their weight may be similar to those who exercise regularly and have strong muscles.

Those who exercise regularly and have strong muscles, as long as they maintain a low body fat percentage, their actual weight is not light at all.
