Superhero Damage Control [Comprehensive]

In November 1962, the Xavier Academy for Young Talents finally began to enroll the first batch of students, but...the talents withered.

Although the Xavier Academy for Young Talents claims to have the best teaching facilities, they are facing a great problem. Those parents would rather hide their children who have shown their talents in the basement than let them enter this "school" Freaks" school.

By the lakeside, Eric was manipulating a director's chair and a camera, and Charles sat on it looking at the camera and shouted: "A!"

The Beast looked at his big foot on the lawn, next to a punctured soccer ball, with a frustrated expression on his face.

At this moment, Ruiwen and Shockwave trotted over, hooked the neck of the beast, the beast nodded, and the three of them ran towards the camera with happy and sunny smiles.

Charles nodded in satisfaction, picked up the guide tube: "Cut!"

The three of them finally collapsed to the ground from exhaustion, and Mystique yelled, "Don't let us do this kind of idiot commercial anymore! I can't stand it!"

Charles held the guiding tube and yelled: "No, Ruiwen, you are the mutant with the most obvious characteristics, you come to be the heroine of the admissions advertisement!"

Mystique pointed at Eric: "Why not Eric! He has been idle there!"

Eric's hand shook, and the camera moved along with his hand, he elongated his tone: "I'm a photographer, Ruiwei, I found that your right side face is more beautiful than the left side, can you please When you take a single shot for a while, turn your side slightly..."

"Oh my friend, you are so observant!" Charles exclaimed.

Eric enjoyed Charles' sincere praise while pretending to be really studying the camera seriously.

Mystique complained softly and walked to Lucy who had been watching the show. Lucy was correcting the words and sentences in the notebook while pursing her lips and laughing. Her shoulders couldn't help trembling. She deleted After writing a few lines and writing some more, he handed the notebook to Rui Wen.

Ruiwen couldn't help knocking her head on the table after reading it: "This is so stupid, let me read these lines, why don't you just kill me, kill me!! Why can't such a stupid thing be handed over to me?" What is Charles going to do?"

Lucy looked at the camera in the distance and got closer and closer. In the end, there was no distance between Eric and Charles, and the corners of their mouths slightly curled up.Just over a year ago, Charles was a stubborn little bald gay guy who refused to believe that he was a bald gay man. Since reading Lucy's Brain, Charles has spent a period of drunken and crazy dating to prove that he is never. Maybe be a little gay.

But on the day he met Eric, he jumped into the sea and rescued Eric aboard. When he saw the other person's face clearly, he ran away into the lake regardless of whether he was still soaked. In the cabin, Lucy and Ruiwen didn't open the door no matter how much they knocked. Lucy had been guarding outside for more than half an hour. Charles finally opened the door. His expression was a little panicked and a little dazed. Finally, he said dumbfounded: " I feel like I've really become a gay."

And that's how it went, they formed the first X-Men team, they stopped the Cuban Missile Crisis, then Lucy blocked a bullet that went to Charles' spine, Sebastian Shaw escaped, and then they were The feared power has returned to the land of the United States and opened up a paradise here.

"Raven—" Charles yelled in that drama queen voice, "we're going to do your solo!"

"Gosh, I never thought my brother was so gay!" Raven rolled her eyes, and she responded loudly, "Come on!!"

Lucy watched Raven smirk in front of the camera over and over again, and then Charles yelled "A!" The three shot this silly admissions advertisement together, and Beast was temporarily captured as a cameraman on set, keeping pressing the shutter, while Shockwave laughed and rolled into the lake.

Laughter and laughter filled the Xavier Young Talent Academy, and Lucy couldn't help laughing happily. She walked over to join this silly X-Men, and discussed with Charles enthusiastically how to take Raven's photos as a prank. More beautiful.

Beast picked up the camera. He knew that Lucy had a habit of not taking photos, but he secretly lifted the camera, pressed the shutter lightly, and recorded this precious moment.

A few weeks later, everyone was sitting in front of the TV, a burst of loud music played, a siren appeared in front of the camera, and Raven’s voice-over appeared: "Sometimes, you feel that your abilities are not a gift from God. ?”

In the camera, the Kraken greeted Shockwave, and as soon as he opened his mouth, a wave of air swirled past, blowing the Shockwave away, and the Kraken touched the back of his head in shame.

Raven's voiceover says, "Are you annoyed by talent?"

The beast kicked the football, and the sharp claws on the soles of the feet pierced the football. The beast looked at the broken ball dejectedly and sighed.

Suddenly the melody of the music became exciting, Ruiwen appeared in the camera as a young girl, and greeted everyone: "Hi, I'm Ruiwen, not long ago I had that kind of thought, since I became a Xavier boy After being a student at the Gifted Academy, everything changed."

This was followed by a series of overlooking pictures of the college and classroom teaching pictures. Ruiwen’s voice-over continued: “In this school, you don’t have to hide your abilities. In the world-renowned geneticist and the youngest professor at Harvard University, Charles Under Xavier's tutelage, you'll learn how to control your abilities while learning how to fit in. So why hide when you can be a good company here?"

Ruiwen returned to the camera, she changed her form and became Mystique: "Don't hide yourself, come to Xavier Academy for Young Talents!"

In the camera, the eyes of the beast light up, Rui Wen and Shockwave trot towards the camera, and the three shouted together: "Xavier Academy for Young Talents, so cool!"

A string of numbers was typed on the screen.

The entire commercial ended, and everyone fell into a deathly silence.

"This looks..." Ruiwen murmured, "It seems to be pretty good."

A loud cheer broke out and everyone hugged: "We're advertising!! We're advertising!" The first step is always the hardest, but they got out.

Immediately after the celebration, they heard the phone ring, and Charles said, "It must be from the parents." He answered the phone with a smile on his face, "Hi, this is Xavier Academy for Young Talents. "

"You freaks should stay away from humans, and don't insult our eyes with that kind of freak advertisement!" After saying this, the other party hung up.

Charles pretended to be brisk and hung up the phone: "It's the parents who came to consult."

"He scolded loudly, and we all heard it." Eric said, and everyone fell into a gloomy mood again.

Ruiwen said: "We are just a group of monsters in their eyes, and no one will understand us."

There was another advertisement on TV, a housewife was worrying about the dirty kitchen, when a new kitchen cleaning agent appeared, the housewife sprayed the kitchen cleaning agent vigorously, after spraying, the whole kitchen All new, the woman's husband came back, looked at the beautiful home, kissed his wife, and said, "You are such a perfect wife." The two smirked at the camera together.

Lucy stared at the advertisement and fell into deep thought. The mutants were still arguing about something, but the voice had become smaller and smaller, and she only had the silly smile of the couple in her eyes.

She suddenly said softly: "We are a group of monsters, then maybe only monsters can understand monsters."

The mutants stopped discussing and looked at Lucy in unison.

Lucy's smile was like the warm spring sun, and she looked back at the mutants: "Let's find some monsters."

Diana Prince sat in a corner of the bar, listening to the other sisters eagerly discussing Betty Friedan's The Feminine Mystique.

This small bar is a fixed place for sisters to discuss, and it is basically composed of single women and housewives. Originally, this small bar held one or two stand-up comedy shows at night, and no one watched it. Later, a group of women wanted to occupy the place. During the night time period, the boss readily agreed, and anyone would compromise in front of money, so this place became a "women's salon" corresponding to those high-end salons that only allow white men to enter.

“…I’m not saying there’s nothing wrong with trapping yourself in your bedroom, in your kitchen, trying to make your life’s goals about how to maintain a stable relationship with a man, groom yourself, and raise children. Maybe some girls Just advocating that kind of life?" said a woman with a thin voice who was one of the earliest members of the sorority, and Diana liked to call her Hebe because she was like the goddess of youth among the Greek gods. Always energetic and good at expressing, "We need to see the unbalanced side of this society. Men control enterprises and the media. They join hands to continuously create advertisements that women are successful as long as they do housework well, making the whole society They are all forced to admit that good women just need to stay at home and serve the family. This is where the absurdity is.”

A woman continued her words, holding the "Feminine Mystique" on her chest, as if it was like a Bible: "Ms. Friedan also said that girls who aspire to work like men, Forced to accept this point of view and choose a family, the freedom of the soul and the difficulties of reality make them depressed and depressed, so they show never being satisfied. It is not that they are greedy, but that no one knows what they want at all. , or rather, the world deprives them of their right to seek what they want."

"So what's the tagline for our next public speaking event?" said another woman, as Diana watched her unfurl the beautiful corsages that are the hallmark of their organization. "Stop washing us with detergent." brain?"

"That's good!" Diana interjected finally. "Pun intended."

"When is the next public speaking, we have to figure out how to retreat."

There are a few women who are researching this matter, and they are scheduled to give a "burst" public speech in front of the city hall, which is similar to a method of using performance art to express their opinions, but the police station is not far from the city hall If they move out all at once, it is inevitable that several people will be arrested.

"Sisters!" A girl rushed in. Diana remembered that her name was Dolly. She was the treasurer of the entire sorority, bar parties, public speaking, making banners and rescuing sisters who were imprisoned. For money, Diana speaks the least in this group. Most of the time, she just keeps a mysterious smile and listens to everyone's opinions, but she is undoubtedly the most generous donor, so Dolly smiles extra brightly at her every time. some.But today Dolly didn't smile, but with a bewildered expression, she sat down and whispered, "Someone donated a check to us."

She pulled out the check, and the signed part read "Charles Xavier."When all the sisters saw the number above, they couldn't help exclaiming: "Ten thousand dollars!"

"Hebe" was almost suffocating.

The Bresenton system doubled the value of the US dollar after World War II, and at its peak it could almost reach the exchange rate of 1 dollar per gram of gold.This "Charles Xavier" is so generous it scares everyone.

"I know who this Xavier is," said a woman of a certain age, "He's the guy who started the mutant school, he's a mutant himself, do you remember the Cuban incident, it was all mutants behind it Damn, we can't take this money!"

She looked at the money as if it were such a dirty thing.

More people joined in.

"Why do they want to fund us? They must have some kind of conspiracy."

"No," Dolly said. "Professor Xavier sent word that it's free."

This sparked a buzz, and Dolly waited for it to pass, then continued: "We had a couple of public speaking sessions before that caught their attention, and he admired us because . . . he thought he was like us."

"Who is the same kind of person as him, they are simply a group of monsters!" the woman who was not young shouted.

"Aren't we?" Diana whispered. She had never expressed her views so clearly in public. She immediately attracted everyone's attention. Diana looked at her sisters. We, when we want to break through the shackles of society to seek our own rights, when we point to that 'happy woman' and denounce that it is an illusion created by the media controlled by men, in the eyes of those men, in the eyes of those who think they are In the eyes of happy women, aren't we monsters?"

The women hummed.

Diana looked at the check, looked at the words on it, and showed a smile: "I believe he is free of charge. But it doesn't mean that I will use the money for free."

Diana stood up, she walked out of the bar, and walked towards Xavier Academy for Young Talents. She came to the magnificent old castle, knocked on the door, and it was a brown-haired, slender girl who opened the door, although she She understood that this was a school for mutants, but she couldn't see anything special about the girl in front of her.

"Is Professor Xavier here?" Diana asked politely, "I'm Diana Prince from the Muse Sisterhood."

"Miss Diana Prince, Amazon's female warrior." The girl accurately reported Diana's hidden identity all along, and the girl stretched out her hand, "Call me Lucy."

Before Diana recovered from the shock, she was pulled in by the girl and heard her say: "I think you have received our check, don't worry, as Xavier said, it is free of charge. Also, we can learn a lot from your movement, and if we start fighting for the rights of mutants in the future, at least we should know the difficulties we will face."

"Everyone is born with rights, and I support you in fighting for your own rights." Diana said, "Where is Professor Xavier?"

The girl pushed open a door, and Diana saw the man she had seen in a TV commercial, the world-renowned geneticist and the youngest professor at Harvard, Charles Francis Xavier, sitting on a man's lap, two The sky is dark and dark for a personal kiss.

"Charles!!!! We have guests!!!!" Lucy screamed.

The 20s was a turbulent era. The strength of the U.S. military and economy made it deeply trapped in the internal contradictions of society. Countless ethnic groups stood up one after another to seek their own equal interests, so a social movement superimposed In another social movement, young people showed values ​​that completely deviated from their parents’ creed that silence was golden, and enthusiastically participated in every movement. Women walked out of the house to face discrimination and ridicule, using their The gentle hands set off turbulent waves, and riots broke out among blacks across the United States, making it impossible for the authorities to treat them as mere thorns in the side and thorns in the flesh.Homosexuals are still silent behind the "Stone Wall", accumulating strength and waiting for a revolution.The mutants have become the backbone of the weaker groups, and finally their efforts have been rewarded.

Some people call this period the "Beat Era", and some call it the "Indulgence Era", but no one can deny that this is the era of freedom.

When scholars of later generations mentioned the 60s, the one person they could not ignore was Charles Francis Xavier, an early immigrant to the United States, a mutant with British aristocratic blood, and an excellent scholar. Participated in every "rights movement" with lofty ideas. He donated money to social organizations such as the "National Women's Organization of the United States" and the "American Association of Colored People". The Civil Rights Act, the Bill of Rights, and many other bills that had a profound impact on the United States were born.

But this was almost incomprehensible at the time. The authorities and the police had a headache calling him a troublemaker, and even secretly arrested him twice, labeling him as a communist, with the intention of interrogating whether he intended to subvert the United States. The government, after Nixon fell in the 80s, a confidential document of the FBI was disclosed: the FBI also secretly sent someone to murder Xavier, but the bullets fired turned strangely, and it was speculated that it was "Magneto" who stopped this field murder.

Some scholars speculate that the help provided by the mutants has always been free of charge, but they have not only provided monetary help. It is rumored that they have also privately prevented the authorities from suppressing the demonstrations and helped some movement leaders escape the police. Not proven, but if that's true, it's not hard to imagine how much the FBI would hate Xavier.The efforts of mutants have not been rewarded. The black leader Martin Luther King Jr. mentioned mutants at the end of his speech "I Have a Dream" in front of the Lincoln Memorial, which is undoubtedly a kind of feedback to mutants...

"When we let liberty ring, from every village big and small, every state and every city, we will be able to hasten the day when all children of God, black and white , Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, Humans and Mutants, join hands and sing an old Negro spiritual: 'Free! Free! Thank Almighty God, we are free at last!' "

Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech was played on the loudspeaker. Charles and Eric, with camouflage painted on their faces, stood under the Empire State Building. The entire street was occupied by mutants. People stood together and distributed parade flags, and countless organizers were still telling other mutants: "Our line is... once the police are dispatched..."

Lucy commanded the beast and the siren to set up the slogan flagpole.

Ruiwen ran over and said to Charles: "It is said that the police dispatched four times the normal strength to prevent us from going to the City Hall. They may have more people than us!"

Eric bit his lower lip: "I can stop them for a while."

Charles flicked his bangs in annoyance: "That's not enough, not enough to slow them down."

"Are we enough?" A low, familiar female voice sounded behind them.

Lucy turned around in surprise: "Diana?"

Diana Prince and a group of women in white dresses with the organization's signature corsages smiled at them while holding "Support Mutants" banners, and Diana stepped out of the way, " If we're not enough, are they enough?"

Charles looked in the direction Diana pointed, and groups of people formed a phalanx and came towards them from a distance. They included women, men, blacks, and whites...

"New York NAACP Supports Mutants."

"Illinois Workers Union Supports Mutants"

"National Women's Federation Supports Mutants"

"Harvard SPA Supports Mutants"

People raised their banners, and they came from the streets, like rivers flowing into the sea, gathering behind the small team of mutants.

Charles watched this scene, his lips began to tremble, and wept very spinelessly.

Lucy pushed him gently: "Don't cry, you and Eric still have to lead the team."

Charles nodded, and he and Eric took the flag from Siren and Beast.

Martin Luther King's voice tremblingly echoed in the loudspeaker: "Today, I have a dream."

"I dream that one day, the valleys will rise and the mountains will descend;

"With this faith, we shall be able to hew a stone of hope from the mountain of despair. With this faith, we shall be able to transform the cacophony of quarrels in this nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood."

"With this faith, we will be able to work together, pray together, fight together, go to jail together, and stand up for freedom together, knowing that one day, we will be free."

Charles and Eric shake off the banner.

"No MoreHide"

The ranks of mutants began to move forward, while the ranks of women, blacks, students...their ranks fell behind, and their ranks formed a sharp sword, cutting forward with an unstoppable force.

Charles's face was full of smiles. He took a few steps, turned his head subconsciously, and looked for Lucy's support, and the woman who had been standing behind him all this time had almost become his leader.

She disappeared.

As mysterious as when she came, she passed through his life lightly, leaving a strong stroke, and then she left.

Lucy walked to a park and sat down on a bench by the river. She waited for a while, and a woman came over. She sat beside Lucy with a nervous expression. If Charles was here, he would Will recognize it, it's Agent Maura MacTaggart.Since the Cuban Missile Crisis, the CIA had given the order to bomb the beach, and the mutants hadn't had any contact with the CIA.

Maura MacTaggart's position in the CIA is also a bit embarrassing. The CIA's ruthlessness and crossing rivers and bridges have disappointed her again and again, and what Lucy asked her to find made her furious again.

"Take it easy, Maura." Lucy crossed her legs. "Did you bring what I asked for?"

"It took me a lot of effort to get it out." Mora put a brown paper bag between the two, "I can't believe they actually did this, they bastards should go Court martial!"

"When good people don't hold power, then only evil people are in power." Lucy opened the brown paper bag and began to flip through the documents inside. She successfully found her target, Arnim Zola, Heinrich Zemo... These Nazi scientists who were secretly recruited after the war, if she announces it, it will undoubtedly disrupt the big news in the United States, but unfortunately she can't, because she can only watch, if it is disclosed, it will undoubtedly bring Mo La. trouble.

Lucy stood up, she already knew what her next goal was.

She left behind Mo La, leaving behind a light sentence: "Mo La, don't let the wicked rule."

In the secret room of the Martinique Club, a group of men are discussing something. Contrary to the Muse Sisterhood, this is a high-end salon for men only, and the men gathered here are all "successful people". Among them are oil tycoons, newspaper tycoons, and Nazis who used to be street rats but now enjoy a good life.

Heinrich Zemo let out a light snort, and put down the newspaper in his hand. The headline of the newspaper was reported in black and bold on the mutant parade.

"The mutants have created an opportunity for us." Heinrich Zemo said, "Our senators in the government will propose a bill to expand the Strategic Science Corps and weaken the power of the FBI, which is beneficial to us. Grow and grow."

"The women's movement, the colored movement, all help create chaos, but in the end, they have to give up their freedom." Dr. Zola smiled at the end of the conference table. "I can't help but imagine them actively fighting for themselves The right hands-on scene that came."

"The group of little female cats stretched out their paws and scratched twice, and felt that they could be supported by others. Hahahaha, this is too ridiculous. There is no place for them in this society, just like there will never be women on this table. ..."

As soon as the words fell, the door was shattered. The bodyguard screamed and rubbed his broken wrist. A brown-haired woman walked in. She was wearing a set of fashionable high-waisted trousers, and her brown hair covered half of her face. , while the other half of her face looked indifferent and arrogant, she grabbed a man from a seat at random, and threw him against the wall on the other side of the room before he could utter an exclamation, and the man passed out immediately.

The woman sat down along the vacant seat, and she knocked on the table: "Gentlemen, a woman has appeared here, and this seat, from now on, will always belong to a woman."

Dr. Zola narrowed his eyes and looked at this strange woman: "Who are you?"

"You are not the only one who has the belief in Hydra. For the sake of faith, I have abandoned everything. From today onwards, I only have one name."

The woman leaned on the back of the chair, like a king who looked down on all living beings.

"Madame Hydra."
