I'm a hero in Marvel

Captain Rogers was staring at his shield, as if he saw a stunning work of art in it, so focused that it seemed as if nothing in the world could distract him.

Li Jie sat on the chair, chewing on his index finger joint, as if he thought his finger was particularly delicious. Charles and Hank frowned and said nothing. This depressing atmosphere made Tony Stark lose his patience first.

He couldn't help but complain to Professor X and the Beast: "Please, can you two say something? Charles, you woke us up in the middle of the night. And then tell us that one of your students founded a country in the Pacific Ocean. What's the name?"

Li Jie took over the conversation: "Tuvalu."

"Yes, Tuvalu!" Tony nodded. "It's a sovereign country! And it has been recognized by the international community for some unknown reason. To be honest, this student of yours has brought us a big 'surprise'!"

Charles and Hank remained silent, and they didn't know how to respond. The closure of Xavier's School for Gifted People had caused such a major change.

Li Jie was listening to Tony's complaints and felt a headache. This world was beyond his imagination. A 17-year-old girl actually established a mutant country in the Pacific Ocean, and it was legal and internationally recognized. Although other countries might not know what kind of country they recognized.

"A mutant country, Charles! It's not your school, it's a country. Do you know what that means?" Tony said weakly, looking helpless.

It can be said that the members of the Illuminati gathered here because of this unexpected event. No one could have guessed that Katie would establish a country. It can be said that everyone's first reaction was to be shocked by the girl's behavior.

Charles moved his lips and finally forced a smile: "You mean my fifty years of hard work are not as good as a seventeen-year-old girl?" He tried to change the subject and spoke evasively.

"Professor, we may not have time to joke around now." Li Jie took a deep breath and said seriously, "A real mutant country will become the target of public criticism."

Li Jie began to explain his point of view, and the others listened attentively, their expressions becoming more and more serious.

"From a certain perspective, a mutant country will give all mutants a sense of belonging and identity. This is different from your school, professor. Not all mutants will go to your school. But once Katie's country is made public, it will become a holy place in the hearts of mutants around the world!"

Li Jie rubbed his temples, feeling like his head was about to explode. "Then it will become a role model for all mutants. This is foreseeable. Regardless of whether mutants are willing to join or publicly support Tuvalu, deep down in their hearts, they will have a natural sense of belonging to this country."

"How many mutants are there in the world?" Li Jie looked at Charles.

Charles closed his eyes and thought for a moment: "According to the data I got from the brainwave enhancer, there are about 1.1 million."

"One million, one hundred thousand, this number is not small, even more than the total population of some small countries." Compared with the world's more than seven billion people, one million is not a lot. The proportion of mutants is less than one thousandth. But in terms of the total number, if the mutants scattered around the world unite, their strength is quite amazing, especially since most of them have extraordinary abilities.

"This country will have a natural appeal, just like when Israel was founded. Although not all Jews will become Israeli citizens, the scene of the global Jewish mobilization when Israel was founded is still vivid in people's minds. Countless materials and funds poured into this new country." What Li Jie said is exactly what everyone is worried about.

The Jewish establishment of Israel was not a peaceful one, and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict remains unresolved to this day, not to mention the four Middle East wars in the early days of the nation. The Arab world united and fought four brutal wars with Israel, which gave Israel its current territory and regional power status.

The newborn nation was supported by millions of Jews from around the world. They used all kinds of connections and abilities to come from all over the world. Countless mothers sent their children to the battlefield just to win the battle for nation-building. Hundreds of thousands of volunteers from all over the world flocked to Israel, even though they knew that the battlefield was a place of death, countless people did not look back.

There were also many Jews who spent all their money to support the establishment of their own country. Because they had experienced the tragic Holocaust and discrimination, when their own country emerged, their appeal and sense of belonging were unprecedented.

The situation of mutants is not much better than that of Jews. If Katie announced that Tuvalu is a mutant country today, then tomorrow Tuvalu may receive astronomical foreign aid and immigration applications...

Charles' eyes seemed a little tangled and worried. "Katie, she just wants to create a [home] for mutants. She doesn't have any desire for power or ambition. Tuvalu is not Iserlia."

Li Jie agreed with Charles's point of view. After all, he and Katie were also good friends. This girl was gentle and kind.

"That's right, professor. If your student hadn't remained rational and hadn't made this public, and if she hadn't had any big ambitions, we might not be sitting here in a meeting now, but might be preparing for war." Tony said implicitly.

Everyone fell silent, not knowing how to deal with this emerging mutant nation. At this time, Captain Rogers, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up: "Actually, to some extent, this may be a good thing."

Captain Rogers stared at the shield in his hand and said, "Maybe this is a good thing." From beginning to end, Captain Rogers never expressed his position on the establishment of a mutant nation.

As the only government insider in the Illuminati, everyone actually cares about Captain Rogers's opinion. If he thinks that the establishment of a mutant nation is a huge threat, with his influence, it may trigger a war.

Therefore, before Captain Rogers made his statement, Charles and Hank were both worried. It was not until this moment when Rogers said that this was a good thing that they were relieved.

Li Jie and Tony looked at Captain Rogers together: "Please tell me in detail."

Captain Rogers tapped his shield unconsciously. "Actually, I don't hate mutants. That's clear. There were mutants in my Howling Commandos, such as Wolverine."

The Wolverine that Captain Rogers mentioned is Logan.

"In fact, I have always believed that the mutant problem is not a big problem. In the 20s and 30s, the world did not experience major turmoil due to mutants. But that doesn't mean there were no mutants at that time."

Captain Rogers tapped his shield, producing a brisk rhythm.

Li Jie was a little confused: "Maybe there were fewer mutants at that time?"

Rogers nodded, "Yes, it's possible. But don't forget, the global population was also small back then. So, I believe the proportion of mutants back then was not much different from now."

The captain continued: "But in recent years, the years I was away, the conflict between mutants and ordinary people began to intensify."

"Exclusion, discrimination, even violence and terrorist incidents occur from time to time." What Captain Rogers said is exactly the biggest problem between mutant society and ordinary people's society today.

"What caused all this?" Captain Rogers raised his index finger. "First of all, I think the most important point is that some politicians saw power in mutants, power beyond that of ordinary people. Just like the Super Soldier Program, training a group of controlled super soldiers is the wish of many politicians and generals."

"Just like you told me, Wolverine was later forcibly transformed. It was precisely because of this behavior that he only cared about the immediate interests that the greatest confrontation was triggered! It was because of these things that Magneto left S.H.I.E.L.D., embarked on the path of opposing the government, established the Brotherhood of Mutants, and embarked on the road of resistance!"

Captain Rogers' words were recognized by everyone. In politics, Captain Rogers does have keen insight and thinking.

"The second point is that mutants' abilities are uncontrollable. This is the most difficult point for civilians to accept. There have been more than one incident of casualties caused by mutants' uncontrolled abilities. This is the main reason for the current bad public opinion. Although the guidance of politicians is also related, the key lies in the problems of the mutants themselves." Captain Rogers held up his second finger.

"The third point stems from the complexity of human nature. Just like politicians want to have a super army that obeys their orders, but are afraid that the army will rebel, so they put all kinds of shackles on them. Ordinary people are both afraid and envious of the abilities of mutants." Captain Rogers held up his third finger.

"They don't understand the abilities of mutants. In most descriptions of mutants, their abilities are powerful and innate. This seems to have nothing to do with acquired efforts. But we all know that this is impossible. From the growth of students at Xavier's School for Gifted People, we can see that all powerful mutants need long-term training."

“There are geniuses in the world, but what God gives them is just a ladder to climb, not a place to stand directly on the top of the mountain. People can see the footprints of geniuses climbing step by step, and their awe of climbing to the top makes them have no right to envy geniuses. Because they know that even if they are given the same talent, they can't do the same thing.”

Captain Rogers' three points objectively outlined the situation of the opposition between mutants and ordinary people in the current society. Li Jie nodded: "Captain, then what do you think is a good thing for Katie to establish a mutant country?"

Rogers stood up, walked behind Charles, gently pressed his shoulders, and said, "Because from now on, the issue of mutants is no longer just a simple ethnic dispute or personal grudge. Mutants are part of this country, and discrimination and insults against them will evolve into major political events."

"Of course, this is not something that can be changed overnight. It's a long process. But Katie plays an important role in this process, especially in maintaining stability between mutants and ordinary people." Captain Rogers glanced at everyone present.

"She established a mutant nation, which will likely completely disintegrate the Brotherhood of Mutants. The Brotherhood's actions in recent years are the main reason why ordinary people are increasingly disgusted with mutants."

"Politicians, especially those of today, often don't have a long-term vision. Many of them only care about their own position. For them, profit is the key. It makes no sense to touch a new mutant country that has no profit, even in the United States."

"Unless the president is willing to use a nuclear bomb to wipe out Tuvalu directly, any attack on Tuvalu is likely to trigger a situation similar to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. And everyone knows the outcome of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict." Captain Rogers said as he paced in the conference room.

"Katie's new country is beneficial to us to some extent. Because of Night Walker's plan, governments around the world will soon realize that Earth civilization is not alone, and there are many dangerous civilizations in outer space watching us. Uniting all forces that can be united is what all countries on Earth should do." Captain Rogers clapped his hands.

"The most important thing for Katie's new country right now is to keep a low profile, especially to prevent infiltration by the Brotherhood of Mutants. Otherwise, it may cause a series of terrible consequences," Captain Rogers concluded.

"The most difficult problem now is the out-of-control abilities of mutants. I have to rely on you in this regard, Dr. Hank."

Hank pushed up his black-framed glasses. "In fact, research on this type of drug has been ongoing. Especially with Tony's financial support, the progress has been accelerated a lot."

"Also, I want to correct what the captain just said. Not all mutants' abilities are very practical or powerful. In fact, among the mutants in the world, nearly half have abilities so weak that they can be almost ignored."

"And among the remaining half, most people's abilities are not strong enough, or their sudden mutant abilities are almost useless." Hank pushed up his glasses again as he spoke.

Li Jie suddenly became very interested: "What exactly are the useless mutant abilities you mentioned?" He had never seen truly useless mutant abilities.

"Well, for example, there's a student who has the ability to make a huge noise when he farts, making the farts particularly loud. We have been teaching him how to control the volume of his farts." When this was mentioned, Charles' face changed visibly, but he quickly returned to normal.

This reminded Li Jie of the face-changing performance in Sichuan opera. Hank continued, "There is another student who emits foul-smelling gas when he burps. You can imagine the smell of the large intestine. In fact, most mutants have this ability."

Hank finished speaking and adjusted his glasses again. Li Jie looked at Hank and Charles and thought to himself: Mutants are such a wonderful race...
