American comics: Something is wrong with this superhero world

Chapter 83 The Situation of Mutants
"What's his superpower?" Starlight asked.

"He has the superpower of flying. When flying, his hands become extremely hard and can easily pierce through steel. Of course, he can also easily pierce through the human body. His wife and those black men were killed by Shi Shuaigen flying and piercing their bodies."

Xiao Xian was somewhat speechless, this ability was fine for flying, but it felt disgusting to pierce others. Xiao Xian commented that it was not as good as using a gun.

"In addition, the information mentioned that Shi Shuaigen's son is not actually related to him by blood, but is the child of a male best friend of his wife in China."

"This child is so miserable. He lost his mother at such a young age, and his father is not even his biological father." Xingguang said when he heard this.

"Uh" Xiao Xian had reservations about this. He felt that Shi Shuaigen was more miserable. Of course, considering the severe mental trauma Shi Shuaigen suffered later and the indiscriminate killing of innocent people everywhere, that was another matter.

"Judging from the description of the awakening of super powers, this person should be a mutant, right?" The White Queen looked at Xiao Xiandao. Awakening due to strong emotional stimulation is a very common way of awakening in the mutant world.

In addition to awakening abilities, strong emotions can also enhance the abilities of mutants. For example, Magneto initially had difficulty controlling the rotation of coins with magnetic force. After Black Emperor sacrificed Magneto's mother in person, he developed a strong desire for revenge and became a person with magnetic superpowers who could easily flip over cars.

Later, with the help of Professor X, Magneto regained his memory of maternal love and successfully killed his enemies. Only then did he become Magneto who could pull submarines and control missiles.
Similarly, the White Queen herself awakened her abilities due to an experience at school in her childhood. She was kicked out of the house because of her parents' affairs, and then was hunted down by a special human department and had to hide from her. Through a series of experiences, her telepathic ability continued to improve, from the initial mind-reading all the way to being able to control some weak-willed people.

However, after the White Queen adapted to her superpowers, thrived in the human world, and led a luxurious and carefree life, her ability improvement reached a bottleneck.

Of course, this is a telepathic ability. As for the ability to turn into diamond, Emma has basically not made any improvements from the beginning to the end, except that the ability has changed from having to transform completely to being able to transform partially.

But in fact, most of the truly powerful superpowers among mutants can be enhanced by strong emotions, just like Magneto's magnetic control, Professor X's telepathy, Storm's weather control, the White Queen's own telepathy, etc.

This leads to the situation that mutants are a bit like the Uchiha clan. Those who are too rational and normal in the clan are basically weak and have little sense of existence, while those who are strong and famous basically have more distinctive personalities.

What other people see is often not the majority of ordinary mutants. Their attention is mainly focused on a small number of famous mutants, and they subconsciously think that those mutant celebrities are what most mutants look like.

As the saying goes, good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels a thousand miles. The good things done by mutant celebrities are far less widely spread than the bad things they do. Coupled with the outrageous actions of several mutant ambassadors, this has led to the reputation of mutants being ruined and they are disliked and despised by many people.

Among them, Magneto and Black Emperor, who are advocates for mutant rights, are the main scapegoats for the bad reputation of mutants in this world. They have carried out a lot of terrorist attacks, and their slogans that mutants are superior to humans, and that mutants rule or even exterminate humans are basically self-defeating. Magneto, one of the two leaders of the mutants, wants to enslave and even exterminate ordinary people, and he still expects ordinary people to have a good impression of mutants. He didn't directly commit genocide against mutants, which was a face-saving move for Professor X. Of course, he might also be afraid that Professor X would use the brain wave controller to detonate a global nuclear bomb, or cause many upper-class people to commit suicide.

It is precisely because of the instability of mutants and their dark history, coupled with the fact that mutants' superpowers are of greater research value than other superpowers that are almost impossible to replicate, and the deliberate fueling of the flames by relevant departments, that mutants in this world are so unwelcome.

Compared to all kinds of super-powered people who are often involved in gods, magic, speed force, cosmic will, etc., mutants who can be studied using gene editing and cloning technology are very high-quality, low-threshold experimental materials, and their upper limit is also very high.

Of course, the mutants' x-gene can also be linked to the Celestials, and theoretically their level is not low. But who can blame the Celestials for using genetic power to give mutants superpowers, and not caring about others using mutants for research?

Not to mention the world of superheroes where talented people abound, even in Xiao Xian's original world, cloning is not a particularly difficult task and many laboratories can do it.

Look at Ghost Rider, who was granted superpowers by a contract with the devil. In fact, he just had an angel inserted into him. Strictly speaking, his power comes from God. Look at the Flash, the destined creator of the Speed ​​Force, the origin of the DC world, who has the power to change the timeline and even reopen the world.

Even the Green Lantern, who is not doing well, is a member of the Green Lantern Corps, a cosmic organization. Even if they don't care about Hal Jordan, the leaders of the Earth have to consider the Green Lantern Corps.
With these super powers, let alone Earth technology, even the genius scientists of Marvel and DC would have a hard time researching them, and it might also attract the attention of the bigwigs. With the energy and financial resources, it would be better to spend a little money and hire an ordinary first-class scientist to clone a few hundred White Queens or something. It would be much simpler and risk-free.

Not to mention other institutions, even Xiao Xian's first reaction when he met Magneto was to capture him for research, but if Xiao Xian met the Ghost Rider Johnny Blaze, he would just stay as far away from him as possible.

"Many mutants are like this. When their superpowers awaken, they are unable to control their abilities. Plus, most of them awaken under strong stimulation, so it's easy for them to go down a path of no return." Upon hearing this, Queen White said with some sadness as she looked at Shi Shuaigen's file.

People like Xiao Xian who gain super powers by chance can submit their resumes to Oscorp. Just like Spider-Man, he could have made his debut even if he didn't steal things.

But someone like Shi Shuaigen killed a lot of people as soon as he awakened his superpowers. Unless his father is a big boss like Norman Osborn, endless pursuit awaits him.

The only difference afterwards is that those with strong abilities and good luck can escape and join Magneto's team with hatred for humans, while those with poor abilities or luck will be directly imprisoned and turned into experimental materials.
