18. Magnit's Utopia(1/2)
The Brotherhood of Mutants, this is an extremist organization with extreme ideas.
It was established longer than Xavier Talented Youth Academy, and was established by Magneto after he parted ways with Professor Charles because of his disagreement of ideas.
It promotes the "mutant independence theory", believing that mutant and humans are two completely different races. At the beginning of its establishment, it had such a dangerous idea of mutant supremacy.
In the process of continuous expansion, due to Magneto's strong style, this mutant supremacy began to transform into the mainstream concept of this organization.
It and the moderate view that Professor Charles insists are two extremes.
Magneto and his followers are mostly mutants who have been discriminated against and oppressed by humans, and even maliciously rejected and harmed. They are unwilling to forgive human ugly behavior. They artificially separate themselves from human society, and are stubbornly unwilling to contact, oppose, or even conflict.
In the last century, when S.H.I.E.D. was still the legion of the Strategic Sciences, the power of the Mutant Brotherhood was once quite inflated. In that era when the black equal rights movement had just subsided, the Mutant People also began to imitate this demonstration. With the support of the Mutant Brotherhood, a large-scale parade was launched in almost every city in North America.
Unfortunately, the government during the Cold War was not interested in this series of political demands, and they responded to such demonstrations with a very strong attitude.
Thousands of mutants died in conflict, and the power of the Mutant Brotherhood began to be cruelly suppressed. Even Magneto had the ability to shake the earth, it could not recover the overall disadvantage of the mutants.
Finally, the organization was driven to remote areas in Canada and began to recuperate.
It was also from that time that the Mutant Brotherhood was included in the United Nations blacklist, not only because of the long-standing barriers and contradictions between humans and mutants, but also because the Mutant Brotherhood did participate in planning many dangerous attacks and retaliation operations.
This official blockade and suppression lasted until 1994. The earth civilization invaded by the Kerry people urgently needed some powerful existences to protect the existing order. Therefore, under the coordination of Alexander Pierce, then the director of the World Security Council, Magneto agreed to help fight the invading Kerry people, but the demand was that the World Security Council must remove the blockade of the Mutant Brotherhood.
It is now 2002. Eight years have passed since the official blockade was removed. The Mutant Brotherhood, which had been silent for a while, has become stronger again. However, this time, the leader of the Mutant Brotherhood, the powerful Magneto and the stubborn Magnett, also learned a lesson from the last failure.
He no longer planned large-scale attacks on humanity. On the contrary, he has been very low-key in the past eight years.
He came up with a new perspective.
He promoted the existence of "utopia" in the mutant society. He told his followers that fighting with humans will only lead to both losses, and the difficulty of survival in human society will also weaken the mutant's will to fight for freedom and independence.
If a mutant wants to win a better life, he must leave human society.
Magneto and his brotherhood are responsible for building a city that belongs to mutants only and a utopian world representing a bright future for any mutant people who want to get freedom!
This is how he promotes and does it.
It is said that many mutants who could not bear the oppression and exclusion of humans fled to Canada and lived a peaceful life there.
But the more this happens, the more the Mutant Brotherhood is valued by the World Security Council. Among some clues collected by SHIELD, the Mutant Brotherhood and Magneto seem to be planning to play the real thing this time.
They have spent a lot of money to buy an uninhabited island in a mysterious waters in the Pacific Ocean far away from human civilization.
If nothing unexpected happens, it will be where the future mutant utopia is located.
But even with Magneto's ability as the God of Humanity, it is difficult to rely on him to complete the construction of a city by himself. He needs more followers and more mutant brothers who support him.
So, this is why Magneto suddenly appeared in this canyon and he wanted to recruit these mutant prisoners who have been abused by humans. They will build the mutant's own kingdom brick by brick.
This seems to be the best of both worlds. Many humans don’t like mutants anyway, so letting them build a country in remote places seems to be a good choice.
But there is an unavoidable question: Will the World Security Council allow a mutant state that promotes the theory of dangerous bloodliness?
No, they won't!
With the style of Magneto and the Brotherhood of Mutants, once a utopia is established, it means that a clear-cut large-scale war between humans and mutants is put on the daily process.
Magnit will not stop at founding the country. He longs to see a world ruled by mutants. This is the most fundamental contradiction between the two sides.
As long as the leader of the utopia is Magneto, this country will never be established.
But if it is a more moderate Professor Charles who advocates integration into human civilization, it is not impossible to negotiate. But this also has another problem that cannot be avoided. With Professor Charles' attitude, it is impossible for him to take the initiative to build a mutant country far away from the world.
Therefore, the problem of mutants is, after all, a problem of ideas and ways of survival. Judging from the current complication society chaotic ideology, this is almost an unsolvable social problem.
"Don't try to stop me, X-Men."
In the snowy snowy valley, Magneto looked at Hank, Storm Girl, Spirit Butterfly, Steeler, and Angel Warren who was knocked out. He said in a deep voice:
"For Charles's sake, take Warren away, never come back!"
"No!"
Hank flatly refused.
The blue-haired mutant looked at the panicked compatriots in front of him and said loudly:
"You can't just force them away! Eric, we used to be friends, and I know, you love our fellow citizens more than everyone, so give them a right to choose, rather than force them to follow you."
He looked at Magneto in the sky and said:
"What's the difference between your behavior like this and the humans who hurt them?"
"I have given my compatriots the right to choose!"
McGnit said coldly:
"If Charles hadn't blocked him, the utopia might have been established now. He was using his own weak theory to poison our tribe members, let others, let you, let you powerful beings who should have become the guardians of the race, become as weak as him."
"I won't give you another chance to intervene!"
Magneto waved his fingers, and more than a dozen uneven steel bars roared into the snow in front of everyone, like a steel wall, isolated the X-Men from the rescued mutants.
He glanced at the X-Men indifferently, then turned his head and shouted to the mutant prisoners in front of him:
"As for you, my brothers."
"We are fellow men connected by blood, and we are all mutants. Every mutant is responsible for saving our race. You have been ruthlessly hurt by humans. You know how vicious those who keep saying power are in their hearts. You have seen the dirty tricks hidden in this hypocritical world!"
"You all know me, and you all have heard that my name should not be deceived by the stupid and hypocritical propaganda of human beings. I don't think I am a good person, but I will definitely do my best to protect every member of my tribe!"
"I have always said this, and I have always done this. My compatriots, our cities and our nations need your strength to build. Your power is not a punishment, but a blessing! It is the blessing of the Creator to every soul who is unwilling to be ordinary!"
"You don't need to feel ashamed because you are stronger than ordinary people, and you don't need to feel fear because you are different from them."
"We, we mutants, are the next step in the evolution of human civilization! We are more advanced than those who insult us!"
Eric shouted in a very deceptive voice:
"From today on, you don't need to continue living with shackles, your bodies and your souls will be free! You don't need to look down at the world, raise your heads, and proudly fight against this hypocritical world! Stand with me!"
He waved his fist and he shouted:
"If they insult you, shut up!"
"If they reject you, then let them be afraid!"
"If they hurt you, let them bleed!"
"There is no discrimination, no oppression, no suffering, no need to live on your knees, come on, brothers, throw away the shackles and bravely welcome your new life, I will protect you!"
He lowered his head and looked at the quiet crowd. He looked into the eyes of the mutants, and finally, his eyes fell on a mutant whose left leg had been slit off.
The mutant was also looking at him, with a ignited flame in his eyes.
"My brother, come on."
McGnitt stretched out his finger, and a steel bar on the ground changed rapidly, and soon formed a light crutch, suspended in front of the mutant.
The latter hesitated for a moment, and he glanced at the X-Men around him with an apology, then he reached out and grabbed the crutch.
He staggered with a cane and walked silently towards the strange metal car with the open door in front of him.
This is his choice.
This injured mutant finally made a choice.
"We already have the first brave fellow traveler."
Magneto said softly:
"What are you still hesitating about? Are you really willing to continue to endure human torture?"
Everything is like this. With the first leader, there will be a second follower, the third, and the fourth.
In just a few minutes, one-third of the nearly 100 mutants rescued from the .m base were caught in Magneto's metal car.
"It won't work if this continues."
The Storm Girl looked at this scene, she lowered her voice and said to Hank:
"We have to stop him!"
"Don't be anxious."
Before Hank finished speaking, Elsa made a strange sentence. She looked at the watch on her wrist, and the news consisted of simple letters on it, she said:
"Our director is trying to find a way to avoid conflict."
"Fry?"
Hank frowned and said:
"He's just an ordinary person, and even if he knows what's going on here, it's hard for him."
"Swish"
Before Hank could finish his words, a twisted light lit up at the end of the canyon. In the light of the shapeshifting spell, the high-level Auror Crow and Essinus of the New York Magic France Society appeared next to the X-Men on the left and right.
Magneto's eyes also quickly turned to this side. As a result, the next moment, he saw Nick Fury, the director of SHIELD, wearing his black eye mask, wearing his long-lost windbreaker, military trousers and combat boots, pushing a silver-white wheelchair and walking out of the jumping light.
And in the wheelchair, Professor Charles, who was wearing a formal look and a pale face, was looking at McGonitt in the sky with anger and disappointment.
Behind him were Cyclops, Summers, who was beaten by the magic shape, and Qin Grey in a black combat uniform.
