In any sense, the relationship between mutants and terrorism is a very, very bad move.
After all, the government's policy towards mutants has long since changed. Although the early government knew about mutants, it mostly ignored them. Because the number of mutants was very small at first, it was enough to pretend they didn't exist.
But after World War II, the number of mutants increased explosively, and the government's policies were still very negative. They mainly focused on cover-up and surveillance, which could not cause social unrest anyway. But when the baby boomer mutants from World War II gradually grew up,
Many things can no longer be hidden. The government's policies have also become radical due to the struggle for hegemony between the United States and the Soviet Union and social changes, and they have begun to secretly use some illegal means to contain and kill mutants.
This has led to mutants generally hating the government and being wary of ordinary people. Even the mutant community has become more and more radical, and ordinary people are full of hatred and misunderstanding of mutants. But after the first year of heroes, the number of superheroes
appeared, which greatly eased the situation.
Because ordinary people have seen many people with extraordinary abilities stand up to protect the world and act chivalrously, ordinary people have begun to view mutants more objectively.
When the world situation changes drastically, the government's policy can only change drastically and make a 180-degree turn. Because they discovered that mutants are also an exploitable resource. Especially the alien invasion incident that occurred in Neon, especially
This aggravates this view.
There are no mutants in Neon, and Neon’s policy towards mutants is more radical and terrifying. If there are mutants in the United States who can live a normal life, it’s impossible in Neon! Neon is a person who rejects surprises.
In this country, bullying culture is prevalent. If you are different from others, you are destined to be ostracized and bullied.
Many mutants lived a very miserable life in Neon.
They are excluded and even unable to shop normally, and they are regarded as an ominous symbol.
As a result, when the parasitic beasts were causing trouble in Japan, none of the mutants stood up to help. As a result, SHIELD and Spear Bureau were killing everyone in Neon, and the Neon government could only stand on the sidelines and watch.
There is no chance to intervene.
To this end, Neon was even essentially split in half.
Half of it was taken over by flower growers and half was supervised by the United States. The entire neon government became a colonial government. In addition to internal affairs, diplomacy and military were all divided up. It became the first de facto colony in the new century, even worse than those banana republics.
It's going to be miserable!
This is because the United States wants to restrict the flower growers, and the flower growers don't want their international image to be damaged, so the two sides did not squeeze too much in Neon and maintained the dignity of the Neon government, otherwise... it would be even worse!
Although there are many reasons for this tragic situation, it is not caused by the lack of help from mutants. It can lead to this result, but it has a lot to do with it.
Because there is no extraordinary power, Neon has no resistance at all when facing the parasitic beast. As a last resort, it can only introduce foreign extraordinary powers to solve the imminent crisis, thus completely losing the initiative.
This has sounded the alarm for many countries.
Especially during this crisis, the flower growers showed their control over the mutant population, which made all countries very envious. They completely used the mutants for their own use and formed a well-disciplined special forces. And the United States, to be honest, in neon
Hong's performance does not count as experience. It's just that SHIELD has rich experience in this area, so there is no shame. But to say how brilliant it is is pure nonsense. If it weren't for the superheroes here in the United States, the United States would definitely lose face.
All the inside is lost!
It can be said that the flower grower has given all countries a model!
Everyone can just copy it.
As a result, various countries began to significantly adjust their policies towards mutants.
Not to mention compared with flower growers, the policies pursued by others have been implemented for hundreds of thousands of years, and strict and meticulous systems and experiences have long been in place. You will be like catching up in a few years... just dream! But at least it cannot become a neon.
!What the hell, something big happened in my country, and it almost turned into a nest and hunting ground for alien monsters. In the end, Neon couldn't do anything and could only watch those alien monsters wreaking havoc there.
So is the United States.
Although superheroes are good, every politician naturally hates superheroes because they are out of control!
And it can backfire at any time.
This is unacceptable.
Therefore, it is urgent to form one's own supernatural power. Although due to public opinion and social atmosphere, it is impossible for the government to confront superheroes. However, it is too important to have countermeasures. They cannot allow themselves to be controlled by a group of vigilantes, so the United States is
This has gone the furthest.
Their policy has simply changed 1,800 degrees, and they have implemented the inclusion of mutants as a national policy.
If you think they have done it.
See what they do to black people and LGBT people in the real world.
This also leads to mutants living quite well in the United States. Once you accept government registration, a mutant can receive a subsidy of one thousand to three thousand dollars from the government every month! This does not include the subsidies that other citizens should receive.
At the same time, if you accept a job provided by the government for some reason, the salary will start at least US$80,000!
Don’t think it’s less, you have to know that the median household income per capita in the United States is only over 60,000! And a mutant can earn between 10,000 and 30,000 a year by just receiving subsidies without doing anything! If he joins the workforce, he will start out earning more than the median income of 60,000.
Number of digits!
Simply outrageous.
The key is that the people didn't react much, it's not that they weren't envious, jealous, and resentful.
But the number of mutants is too small! Even among those mutants who are unwilling to register and hide in the United States, it is still unknown whether the total number of mutants can exceed 10,000!
The number of mutants is really too small. Even if this number is increased ten times or a hundred times, this amount of money is only a small amount for the entire United States. Let alone now. It can be won over with tens of millions a year.
These supermen are simply so damn profitable.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! So Congress has proposed another proposal to increase subsidies again.
There is no problem at all in passing, and it is even foreseeable that such proposals will be raised every once in a while in the future.
There is no way, tens of millions is not enough for the US military to purchase coffee for a year. It is such a bargain. Even if it is increased ten times, Congress will not hesitate. Unless such a budget exceeds several billion dollars that day, it will be seriously discussed.
.
And those congressmen are not stupid, they need to win over the mutants for a long time, so this proposal will be like squeezing toothpaste, it will increase a little after a while.
These old guys are smarter than anyone else in this regard.
Spend a little money to do big things.
It is also because of this atmosphere that the relationship between mutants, ordinary people, and the government was quickly repaired.
But the same amount of money feeds all kinds of people, and there are always some people who don't like to be restrained.
This is understandable. Being a criminal and becoming a terrorist are definitely two different concepts.
If you talk about becoming a criminal, most other mutants will ignore it unless it involves you. After all, you can't affect him, plus some previous grievances, everyone is a mutant, so turn a blind eye.
Eyes passed.
But becoming a terrorist is different.
After all, in the current environment, mutants become terrorists, and the effect is absolutely explosive. Even if it is to ensure their normal lives, the vast majority of mutants will stand up against the Sinister Six.
"Sir, there is an elevator hijacked by the enemy. It is out of my control and they are ascending!"
Jarvis suddenly reminded.
"what happened?"
"The elevator is out of control. Although the lock command has been issued, the elevator is no longer controlled by the system," Jarvis said.
"The system has not been compromised?" Tony asked.
"Yes, the system has not been invaded."
"It seems that it was the Den King who did it." Don't underestimate the intelligence collection ability of the federal government. Although there is nothing that can be done against this mutant organization for the time being, the intelligence has been collected very comprehensively. At least these mutants are really good at intelligence management.
Very amateurish.
"How many people have not yet evacuated?"
Tony asked.
"Above the 35th floor, 65% of the personnel have been evacuated, and it is expected to be completed within ten minutes."
In fact, the number of people above the thirty-fifth floor is really not too many. After all, the number above the thirty-fifth floor is considered the core department of the company, and most of them are administrative staff. The office environment of Stark Tower is still very good, and every employee
The office areas are very large. As for the seventy-fifth floor and above, that is Stark's private area. Except for some necessary service personnel and some scientific researchers for key projects, there are fewer people.
After all, even if Tony was crazy, he wouldn't conduct a truly dangerous experiment in his own home.
So generally speaking, the total number of people above the thirty-fifth floor is not large, but you can't expect these white-collar and gold-collar workers to have the same mobility as soldiers, otherwise they would have been evacuated in such a long time.
"That's good, let others prepare, and send these people's information along the way."
That's right, Tony has already ambushed someone in the building.
After all, knowing that the Red Room was going to rescue people, how could Tony not be prepared.
The only problem is that no one knows when the Red Room will attack. Even if others want to help, they can't stay in Stark Tower forever.
So everyone takes turns, today it's Luke Cage and his friends Falcon and Nighthawk.
Jessica was originally there before, but Rorschach's investigation came to a standstill. Saji had no choice but to send someone to help him, so Jessica left.
"Hey! Man, I think you can join our defenders. You know, our defenders are now the main force of New York's vigilantes."
These three guys are resting in the guest room on the 79th floor... It is said to be a guest room, but the facilities here are more luxurious and advanced than an eight-star hotel. Not only does it have a full set of training facilities, but it also has many luxurious facilities.
For example, right now, they are sitting on the beach, basking in the sun and drinking iced drinks.
That's right, it's the sea and the beach.
This is a holographic terrain projection system designed and manufactured by Stark Group. It can perfectly reproduce various terrains and natural environments one to one. Although it is fake, it can give people the sense of reality, but it is extremely real. Its original intention is for training. But Tony felt that since it could be trained, it could certainly be used for vacation.
You must know that superheroes do not have holidays. Even Tony rarely leaves New York after becoming a superhero.
So this kind of home vacation facility is a must.
Luke and Double Eagle are enjoying this vacation right now.
Falcon, Sam Wilson, is a retired U.S. Air Force Pararescue Special Forces member. Sam Wilson once served in the 58th Division Airborne Rescue Force and implemented the EXO-7 Falcon secret program. Later, due to the tragic accident of the pilot, He was killed and worked in the Veterans Service after retirement.
With Kai's help, Luke Cage cleared his grievances and became a truly innocent man. He also received a large sum of compensation from the federal government. Kai has always felt that superheroes do not need to live such an ascetic life.
After his grievances were cleared, Luke Cage's veteran status and benefits were restored. Later, when he went to the Veterans Services Office to go through the formalities, he met Sam. After going back and forth, the two became familiar with each other.
Later, when Luke Cage discovered that Sam was also a mutant, he immediately invited Sam.
Although the Defenders is only a small organization, Luke really didn't lie just now. They are indeed the most active in fighting crime in New York. But behind their positivity, there is a serious shortage of manpower.
Be reasonable.
There are actually only three people in the entire Defenders Alliance now.
Daredevil, Luke and Jessica. Jessica still has her own job. She is extremely busy every day and rarely participates in Defender activities. There are also a few non-staff members, although they can also help, but... ...Luke is now in a relationship, and he needs time. Otherwise, when will he and Claire be able to achieve success?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! So he needs manpower.
Daredevil is undoubtedly the leader of the alliance, but to be honest, his leadership is at its maximum, but he is really not that good at communicating with others.
So the job of organizational director belongs to Luke.
"Hey, man, I... I really want to join the Defenders. Listen buddy, I don't mean to look down on you. You and Daredevil are even my idols, but I have already received an offer from the Shadow Bureau. It’s an invitation from Captain America Steve Rogers!”
From the way this guy talks about Steve Rogers, you can tell that this grandson is definitely a fan of Captain America.
"Hey! Brother! Steve is a white guy! Typical old Angsa! You actually abandoned me for him?" Luke didn't have any objections to Captain America, but thinking about the other party's Shadow Bureau family and their great business, he actually still talked to him. Strong man, Luke said he couldn't bear it.
And what Luke said is right. Captain America is not as aggressive among black people as it is among white people. At least some black people are not that cold about Captain America. After all, what does World War II have to do with them black people? World War II At that time, black people also served as soy sauce in the army.
Sam was a little embarrassed. After all, in the black community, if he said that he admired Captain America the most, those bad boys would not have anything good to say. In fact, the person whom the black community admires most now is Luke Cage. There is no way, the black superhero is really of rarity.
"Brother, there's nothing wrong with me liking Captain America. But I don't mean to look down on you, it's just... man. I go to the Shadow Bureau, I have a salary and benefits. I go to the Defenders... I also want to eat."
There was nothing wrong with that. This left Luke speechless.
There is no other way. He can bring his own dry food and perform heroic acts, but not everyone is like him. One person can eat enough and the whole family is not hungry? Even now, in the past, he still had to work to earn money for food. All I can say is, Kai helped him a lot. He received millions of dollars in compensation from the federal government and is now so comfortable. He doesn't need to worry about money.
But Sam has nowhere to go to get the compensation.
Luke looked expectantly at Nighthawk. Nighthawk and Nighthawk had nothing to do with each other. They didn't even know each other very well. But they had one thing in common, they were both super fans of Batman.
Nighthawk's real name is Kyle Richmond. He used to be just a playboy. He didn't have much money, but his father was a rich man. He lived a luxurious life since he was a child. He was a problem child since he was a child. To save his father from getting into trouble, after he was caught driving while taking drugs, drinking, and driving, his father was completely furious.
His father really didn't expect him to have any future. His father's request for him was very simple. He would live his whole life and wait for death. As long as he gave birth to a healthy and obedient grandson before his father burped, it would be... ...Their family has so much wealth that he will never be able to lose it all in his lifetime. As long as he has an heir, anything will work.
But according to his life trajectory, his father was very afraid that this bastard would kill him before his father died. So in a rage, he threw him into the army, hoping to use the rules of the army to give him something to do. changed.
Don't mention it, although this guy is a headache, he is really a good soldier and very talented. He was very successful in the army, and his father did not expect that an outstanding soldier could be born in his own family. The results were not many.
Years ago, he had health problems. He had a heart murmur, which is generally a sign of heart disease.
His father immediately retired him and asked him to go home to recuperate and give himself a grandson.
But after training in the army, Kyle's outlook on life has changed dramatically. He is not willing to be a rice bug. But his body... an accident unexpectedly turned him around. This incident really has something to do with Batman.
During the Los Angeles earthquake, he was in Los Angeles and almost burped. It was Batman who saved him.
Since then, he has become a fan of Batman. At the same time, that night, he awakened his superpowers, and that's when he realized that he was actually a mutant.
His ability is very special, that is, it only works at night. He discovered that he has superhuman strength and endurance at night, and he also has powerful regeneration ability at night. But during the day, he is just a normal person.
This discovery made him ecstatic, and he became a superhero.
His father only felt that he had done something wrong by giving birth to such a piece of barbecued pork. His life had been running in an unpredictable direction, but he did not follow the route designed by his father.
But there is no way, just such a son. Besides, it is better to be a superhero than to be a jerk. Even if he really burped that day, the epitaph engraved on the tombstone will sound much better than that of a fool who died in a car accident while taking drugs.
.
So he froze his son's sperm as a guarantee and let him continue to proliferate.
Anyway, being a superhero is much more reliable than starting a business. Starting a business can make him lose all his wealth overnight. How much money can he lose by being a superhero?
Well made!
He also knew Luke because of his military background.
"Kyle, what did you say?"
"I don't care." Kyle thinks there is no problem in joining the Defenders: "By the way, if Sam is really serious, I can inject capital into our alliance. I believe that my dad doesn't care about funding hundreds or tens of millions every year.
"
Money? For the rich second generation, money is just a number. Although his family is not as wealthy as Stark, they are still billionaires.
He himself didn't care. After all, his father was dead and the money was all his, so why should he spend it for nothing?
Sam and Luke looked at each other. Poor kids like them couldn't stand such a rich guy.
But...there's something going on!
No one says superheroes have to be poor.
And Kai is different. He recharges Matt every year? Otherwise, Daredevil would have been sleeping on the street!
Nothing wrong!
"That's great! I'll talk to Matt when we get back! We, the Defenders, are also a group of superheroes. Let's not compare with Tony Stark, right? But we at least need a secret base or something! Claire has already joined forces with
I have complained several times about their midnight clinic, but they still haven’t found a new location!”
"It's a joke, there are a lot of unused properties in my house! By the way, I can also give the three lovely nurses a salary that is consistent with their value!"
