American comics: Becoming the god of technology from Osborn

Chapter 17 X-Men
"Mutants? I thought all the mutants in the world are busy building Genosha right now, and they shouldn't have the energy to pay attention to activities like the Expo."

Harry's eyes suddenly changed.

"Yes, we were also surprised when we first received the application from Xavier's School for Gifted Children."

Pepper nodded.

The history of mutants in this world is slightly faster than that in other universes, and the ideological dispute between Professor X and Magneto has basically come to a conclusion.

That is the paradise that belongs exclusively to mutants. The Republic of Genosha has finally been recognized by the human world and established as a truly sovereign country, not just a self-satisfaction for the mutant community.

In the process of building Genosha, the X-Men and the Brotherhood of Mutants truly put aside their past grievances for the first time and united to create a new home.

Of course, the X-Men and the Brotherhood still have their differences, but the conflict isn't as intense as before.

To this day, mutants from all over the world are migrating to Genosha in an endless stream. It is said that the population has approached 10 million and is still growing rapidly.

Harry, who had read comics in his previous life, knew that the final population of Genosha would reach 17 million, and then 16 million would die in an unprecedented massacre, and the remaining one million would be almost extinct in the subsequent incident of Scarlet Witch getting out of control.

Before the events of the Holocaust, Magneto and Professor X would go through a long honeymoon period.

Harry thought he would not have any contact with mutants for a long time, but he did not expect to meet them at the expo so soon.

"They booked the entire exhibition hall. At the beginning, many tourists went in to visit. But when they found out that there were mutants inside, they ran out in panic. Gradually, no one approached the place."

Pepper sighed.

"It seems that the Republic of Genosha has been legally recognized, which has given mutants hope of gaining psychological recognition from humans. Unfortunately, the reality is not that simple, and people's prejudice against mutants is already deeply rooted."

Harry shook his head.

No wonder the application was sent to Xavier's School for Gifted People instead of the Republic of Genosha. Obviously, Professor X still hopes that mutants can gain psychological recognition from humans, but Magneto understands that this is simply impossible.

Over the past hundred years, the number of mutants has exploded, and 99% of them will undergo terrifying physical mutations. Humans have an instinctive aversion to strange-looking creatures, and this aversion can easily breed discrimination and oppression, and then intensify resistance.

As a result, most mutants will embark on the path of crime, so that whenever a bizarre super criminal appears and causes chaos, people's first thought is "it must be a mutant who did it!"
Even Spider-Man was mistaken for a mutant when he first appeared.

Every time this happens, Professor X will come out to popularize mutant physiology to the outside world, pointing out that so-and-so is not actually a mutant, and that real mutants are actually very kind and harmless. Over time, people even think that he created the concept of mutants.

In fact, the first person to propose the mutant theory was a biologist who was not a mutant and lived in the same era as Darwin.

As for the results of Professor X's painstaking efforts to popularize science to the world, it cannot be said to be useless, but only that few people listened.

"Let's go in and take a look. I'm quite curious about the mutants' technology."

Harry suggested.

"As long as you don't mind."

Although Pepper didn't have a good impression of mutants, she didn't have any ill feelings towards them either, so she naturally had no objection to Harry's proposal.

At this moment.

In the management room of the exhibition hall booked by the mutants, several figures were lying on the sofa bored.

"It's been 37 days and no one has come in. Are we really going to stay here for a whole year? I feel like my body is going to mold."

A short-haired, yellow-skinned girl with goggles on her forehead said lifelessly, "If you are really bored, just go back to Genosha. I am the only one watching over you here."

A huge blue figure next to him comforted him. This was a strange man with blue fur all over his skin, shaped like an upright beast.

And his nickname just happens to be The Beast.

"That won't do. It would be so lonely to stay here alone. We can't bear to leave you here, right Qian Huan?"

The long-haired girl on the other side spoke.

"Ellie is absolutely right." The girl with goggles named Qian Huan agreed.

"Come on, do you two really think we don't know what you are planning?"

At this time, a young man with wings on his back in the room glanced at the two girls and said unhappily.

His name is Warren Worthington, an X-Man codenamed Angel, and also the rich second generation of the Worthington family. This time they booked the entire exhibition hall, with Angel's funding included.

The other two girls are also members of the X-Men, Li Qianhuan and Xuanyin Ellie Blair.

"You guys thought you were just volunteering to come along for fun, right? But when we got here, we discovered that the situation was completely different from what we thought. Now we feel unwilling to go back."

Qian Huan and Xuan Yin blushed, obviously what the angel said was right.

"Ahem, it's because we were too tired recently. I know that our abilities are suitable for work, but you can't always pick on us, so I wanted to come out and take a breather. Who knew that after coming here, I have some free time, but it's a bit too much..."

Qian Huan curled her lips.

"If you feel too bored staying here, just go out for a walk."

The Beast suggested.

"We tried, but now everyone outside will stare at us with... that kind of look when they see us walking out of here, and Ellie used to be a very famous singer. We can only have the opportunity to go out after it's late at night, but by then it won't be fun."

Qian Huan sighed.

"The professor also told us not to get involved in any crime this time we go out, otherwise we might be able to look for the man called Spider-Man."

At this moment, footsteps were heard from outside, and several people stopped chatting instantly.

"Did I hear wrongly? Someone is coming?"

Qian Huan asked in disbelief.

The next second, a voice from outside answered her question.

"Is anyone here? Isn't there a tour guide in this exhibition hall?"

Harry walked into the exhibition hall and asked as he looked at the empty exhibition hall.

"Yes, yes, yes. Sorry to have kept you waiting."

A girl wearing goggles on her forehead suddenly ran out from the depths of the exhibition hall, followed by another girl, an angel, and a beast...
