Chapter 209 Mutants

coffee shop.

After Superman leaves.

Superman disappeared in the blink of an eye, with astonishing speed.

Shocked with Louise and Lingdie.

"What did he do? Space teleportation?" Lingdie was shocked.

Edward drank coffee calmly, "Didn't the news keep talking about it a few days ago, super speed, calm down."

"But this is too fast!" Lingdie's emotions were not faked.

As a recruited X-Men non-staff member, Lingdie has never dealt with fast-moving people. When she was a substitute teacher, Kuaiyin was picked up by him every two days. .

But Superman, he's too fast, so fast that Psylocke can't tell whether it's moving speed or space teleportation, and he can't even tell what kind of skill he is, let alone deal with it?
Louise looked at the direction Superman left, and silently recorded Superman's super speed in the small notebook.

All three of them came to talk to Superman, and when Superman left, the room became quiet for a while.

Louise thought for a while and asked, "Can I interview you?"

"of course."

"How old are you..." Louise finally asked after holding back for a long time.

Edward looks too young, as tender as a minor, although the power of dreams + heart-shaped grass strengthened Edward's physique, but under Edward's request, he only had He has muscles, but his height has not increased, and most importantly, this particularly tender face has not been affected at all...

As soon as Superman left, the three of them were alone for a while, and the new customers next to them looked at them in the wrong way, all kinds of contempt and whispering, Louise didn't know, but Lingdie and Edward could hear them clearly.

They regarded Edward as a foster boy...

When Lingdie heard this question, the corners of her eyes narrowed in a sly way. This is what she always wanted to ask. Before she went on a business trip with Edward, passers-by looked at her like this.

Let alone Professor X, Stark and Bruce don't know how old Edward is. After all, the green card is really unreliable. Edward's original ID card also has traces of Edward complaining about his age and registering wrongly. Anyway No matter how you look at it, Edward doesn't look like an adult, and they don't have the opportunity to take Edward to do carbon dating, so the current situation is that no one knows how old Edward is.

"Hey, this question involves a lot, keep it secret, next question." Edward said.

"..." Why is this kept secret?Louise muttered something in a low voice, but didn't take it seriously. After all, it's not uncommon for the second generation underage to keep their tickets secret when they come out to play.

"May I ask how you came up with the idea of ​​cooperating with Superman and doing Superman-related IP development? As far as I know, people with superpowers are not welcome in most cities." Louise asked.

This problem was also discovered by Edward before. There is a certain sense of separation between the cities of Marvel and DC.

The cities of DC, the central city of Gotham, the metropolis... These cities really exist in this world, and some of the territories of the states in the United States have been changed, but they are generally the same.

As for Marvel, most of the cities in the United States are based on the existing foundation in the United States.

Therefore, there is a sense of division in the territory of the cities on both sides, but it is not serious. What is serious is that the people's sentiments on both sides are completely inconsistent.

Originally Gotham and Metropolis were right next door, one light and one dark like two worlds, it was considered a special case in DC, but now most of them are like this.

Once the cities of DC and Marvel are next door, there will always be various dissonances in people's sentiments, mainly reflected in the attitude towards mutants.

It's hard to explain why the mentality of the two is so different, but this mentality does exist. Most cities in DC have a neutral attitude towards the existence of mutants-I don't object or support it. I only Want to live a peaceful life.

For Superman, a similar opposition emerges in these cities, represented by the genuinely unsophisticated Central City and Metropolis.

But in terms of this kind of confrontation, the ratio of cities that support and neutral to cities that oppose and dislike is 2:8. On the surface, Superman is not extremely popular anyway. Regarding Superman’s IP development and cooperation endorsement, it is serious. The point is more like a mess, and ordinary people can't avoid it.

Edward is currently the only one who has moved up and has a complete plan for it, as well as a detailed financial expenditure schedule.

Louise was puzzled by this.

Edward smiled, "What does Miss Louise think of mutants?"

Originally finding that Edward was too lazy to answer the age question, Lingdie, who was already lazily yawning, suddenly sat up upright in high spirits.

Hearing Edward's rhetorical question, Louise also chuckled. As the chief reporter of Planet Daily, she has come into contact with mutants, mutant criminals, and mutant criminal records, and more people have asked her this question. , she has a set of official words that do not offend.

But just as she was about to speak, Edward preempted, "To be honest, you are tired of talking about those official words, and so am I."

"Are you serious?" Louise asked, staring at Edward's clear, serious eyes.

"I'm serious." Edward spread his hands, "About mutants, many people's eyes turned pale when they heard about them. Now I'm going out and yelling that I'm a mutant so that someone will throw me a rotten egg, so I have to make sure we talk about it next. You don’t suddenly pull out pepper spray on a topic like this.”

"Hehe." Louise chuckled for a while, "Of course I don't have this kind of attitude towards mutants, I've come into contact with a poll.

The vast majority of mutants have the ability to appear suddenly, most of them choose to hide, and some of them can no longer integrate into society because their abilities are manifested in their physical characteristics and are uncontrollable.

To them, these abilities are like diseases, and they are also like patients, both in terms of physiology and social positioning, and as far as I know, this part accounts for about 90% of the mutant population. After Louise said, "Of course, don't say it outside, this is my personal guess."

And my opinion on mutants... The mutants have indeed caused a lot of damage to society and are a great threat. At the time of Liberty Island at the beginning of the year, they almost wiped out all the domestic parliamentarians. Based on the bad impression left by these people, It is normal for the world to have a backlash against them.

So I hate the part with Magneto at the head, but the mutants who are completely irrelevant to normal and are implicated, I don't think it should be. "

Of course she wouldn't just say that based on Magneto's attack on Liberty Island. Many of the things she saw were actually classified, and she couldn't explain them directly. She could only use this news as an example.

She also wanted to do a social survey report on mutants, but she couldn't publish it at all, so she became bored. It was rare to meet someone discussing this today, so she just said it casually.

Edward was just full of surprise. He was almost sure that Louise's idea would coincide with his plan for mutants. He thought that no one in this world could see this, but in case Unexpectedly, there are still sober people.
