The only player in the Marvel universe.

Chapter 291 To save mutants, Charles decides to debut as an idol.

From this moment on, mutants in America stood up.

Before this, most of them had tried their best to hide their differences, fearing that others would discover anything unusual about them and treat them as monsters.

But it's different now.

They can finally shed all pretenses and walk openly on the street, no longer having to live a life of hiding.

All mutants were filled with gratitude for Charles and his team who made all of this possible; they practically wanted to kowtow to them.

However, everyone in the Brotherhood knew that all the credit actually went to Du Mu.

In fact, everything they did was based on Du Mu's ideas; they were simply following them.

Today, the members of the fraternity hold Du Mu in the highest esteem.

Charles, in particular, recalled the words Du Mu had spoken during their first meeting.

To allow all mutants to live openly and honestly, without having to hide or fear the strange looks of humans, and without being treated as freaks.

He never expected that Du Mu would actually do it so quickly!

Greatness needs no further explanation!

Not long after, another shocking piece of news broke, directly igniting public opinion across the United States.

The news is about the truth of the Bagu crisis.

No one knows who it was, but they secretly exposed all the inside stories of the Bagu crisis.

The public finally learned that the real reason why the third season almost started was that it was orchestrated by an evil and powerful mutant whose goal was to provoke a nuclear war and plunge the world into chaos.

If it weren't for Charles and others stepping forward and working together to defeat that mad mutant, the whole world would probably have been plunged into utter ruin long ago.

This news immediately caused a huge uproar throughout the United States.

No one could have imagined that the reason they were able to live peacefully and the world didn't start the third season was entirely due to Charles and his group of mutants silently protecting them from behind.

But Charles and his associates never mentioned their contributions in public.

They really made us cry our eyes out!

Overnight, the names of Charles and others spread throughout the streets and alleys of America.

Newspaper front pages, television news, and social media were all filled with their reports, reaching an unprecedented level of popularity.

Just then, the wave of mutant rights was sweeping the country. The two events collided, and countless people directly regarded Charles and others as true superheroes.

After all, their experiences perfectly match the superhero template in American comics.

Possessing superhuman abilities, they fight against evil forces that seek to destroy the world, silently protecting world peace...

The United States is a country that deeply admires individual heroism, and what Charles and his colleagues did completely fulfilled the public's imagination of superheroes.

In an instant, an overwhelming wave of praise and admiration poured in on them.

"A superhero?"

Upon hearing this news, Du Mu stroked his chin, and a bold idea suddenly came to his mind.

"What did you say? You want to start a superhero company?"

Charles was stunned when he heard Du Mu's idea.

Du Mu nodded: "That's right. This company belongs to Marvel Industries and uses Marvel Industries' resources to create a group of superheroes belonging to Marvel Industries."

Charles asked in surprise, "Why would you suddenly have this idea?"

Du Mu sighed and said slowly, "Old Cha, although humans and mutants can now live in peace, it doesn't mean everything will be fine in the future."

"You know, not all mutants are as law-abiding as us. There will only be more and more mutants in the future, and there's no guarantee that some of them won't have bad intentions, taking advantage of their abilities to do evil and treat Earth as their own."

"Those weak mutants are one thing, but if some mutant criminals with stronger abilities suddenly appear, the police officers simply can't stop them."

Charles frowned. "I've thought about that, but with us here, there shouldn't be any major problems, right?"

"You're too optimistic."

Du Mu shook his head: "The problem isn't the size of the trouble, but that as long as one mutant commits a crime, no matter who they are or what their reasons are, the blame will ultimately fall on all mutants."

"People don't distinguish between individual behavior and group problems. Once there are more cases of mutant crimes, they will subconsciously categorize all mutants as dangerous."

"You're right, this is indeed a problem."

Upon hearing Du Mu's words, Charles immediately frowned, his face filled with seriousness.

As the saying goes, one bad apple spoils the whole bunch.

This is like encountering a few black guys late at night; it's scarier than seeing a ghost.

This is the power of stereotypes.

They've worked so hard to get the public to accept the existence of mutants. If a few mutants commit heinous crimes, all their previous efforts will be wasted, and things might even get worse than before.

Charles certainly didn't want to see that happen.

"But what does this have to do with the superhero company you mentioned?"

Charles looked puzzled, unable to understand how the words "superhero" and "company" could be linked together.

"It's a very big deal."

Du Mu explained, "Ordinary people can't deal with mutant criminals; only mutants can deal with mutants. So I plan to recruit a group of reliable mutants to form a superhero team specifically to deal with those mutant criminals who endanger society."

"This way, we can both stop their illegal activities in time and allow the public to see a positive image of mutants—a win-win situation!"

Charles scratched his head, still a little confused: "It sounds like it makes some sense, but wouldn't it be better to just form a superhero team to catch those evil mutants? There's no need to start a company, is there?"

Du Mu said earnestly, "Do you think being a superhero is an easy thing? Then you are very wrong."

"I ask you, what if a superhero accidentally damages public facilities or private property while fighting crime?

Charles was stunned; he had never really considered this question.

In those superhero comics, the heroes defeat the criminals, dust themselves off, and leave without ever having to deal with the mess they leave behind.

But reality isn't a comic book; you can't do whatever you want.

For example, someone takes out a loan to buy a new car for more than ten years, only to have it smashed to pieces by a fight between superheroes and criminals after just a few days of driving it, and the insurance company can't cover it. Anyone would be furious in that situation.

At that time, they will hate not only criminals, but also superheroes, and may even take their anger out on the entire mutant community.

But superheroes can't handle these trivial matters themselves.

One or two compensation disputes are manageable, but if there are too many, superheroes won't even need to fight criminals anymore; just dealing with these compensation disputes would exhaust them.

Du Mu continued, "That's the point of starting a company. At this time, you need a professional aftercare team to handle these kinds of problems and clear away any worries for the superheroes so they can focus on dealing with criminals without being distracted by these trivial matters. That's the role of a company."

"In addition, the company has a highly professional public relations team to help superheroes maintain their image, establish a positive image, guide more mutants to the right path, and prevent them from going further and further down the illegal path."

"Furthermore, the company will arrange a photography team to film the superheroes' actions, ensuring transparency and allowing everyone to supervise us, so that the public can trust us more."

Listening to Du Mu's eloquent speech, Charles nodded silently: "What you've said is indeed very good, but why does this model feel a bit familiar..."

'

He thought about it carefully.

Isn't this the Hollywood way?!

Charles's lips twitched. "So, is this about being a superhero or a star?"

"Hey, it's all the same!"

Du Mu waved his hand and said cheerfully, "Now that mutants have just gained a foothold in the public eye, they are in need of a few ambassadors who can carry the image. The superhero concept is just right. We want the public to know that mutants are a group of people who are righteous, kind, and yearn for peace, not dangerous elements."

Charles seemed to agree with these remarks.

Something just feels off.

He asked, "So, who are you planning to cast as Marvel's first superhero?"

Du Mu replied without hesitation, "Of course it's you!"

"I?"

Charles pointed to himself, looking completely bewildered.

Du Mu nodded with his hands on his hips: "That's right. No one can compare to your fame among mutants right now. You don't need to spend time cultivating it. With a little help, you can debut on the spot and become a superhero that everyone is watching."

Charles is undoubtedly the most famous person in the entire mutant community today.

After all, it was he who personally revealed the world-shaking theory that the X gene is universally present in the human body at the Marvel Industrial Exposition.

In addition, Charles's unconventional style—while everyone else was standing, he was sitting—gave him an aura of leadership, making his popularity understandable.

Secondly, there's Eric, whose ability to manipulate metal and easily defeat several Sentinel robots has garnered him a large following.

As for the other fraternity members who appeared at the expo, they all gained some popularity.

Charles regained his composure and quickly waved his hands, saying, "No, no, no, I can't do it, I really can't do this."

Du Mu advised, "A man shouldn't say he's incapable. Besides, how do you know you're incapable if you haven't even tried?"

Charles looked troubled: "But I've never done anything like this before, I have absolutely no experience."

"Experience comes naturally with practice."

Du Mu chuckled and patted Charles on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I'll arrange the most professional team to help you. And you don't need to put on an act; just be yourself."

With Charles's natural affability, he's the perfect fit to be Marvel's first superhero.

"But..." Charles wanted to refuse again.

"There are no 'buts'!"

Du Mu interrupted him directly, saying seriously, "Old Cha, you don't want all the goodwill we mutants have worked so hard to build up to be ruined, do you?"

Charles couldn't stand such words, and the awkwardness on his face gradually turned into hesitation.

Half a minute later, he nodded helplessly.

"Okay, I'll give it a try."

In order to save mutants, Charles decides to debut as an idol... no, a superhero!

Of course, one superhero isn't enough.

After winning over Charles, Du Mu then set his sights on his next target, Eric.

He did the same thing, repeating what he had said to Charles, only slightly changing the last sentence.

"Eric, Charles has agreed. You don't want to be surpassed by him, do you?"

Eric:

...I did it!

Not long after, Marvel International was officially established.

With Marvel Studios as a powerful backer, funding and resources are not a problem.

In a short period of time, the company’s core departments were set up and began operating at full speed.

The news immediately attracted the attention of media across the United States.

After all, Marvel Industries has a reputation that naturally generates buzz. Now that it's suddenly pouring a lot of resources into this new company, everyone is curious about what big move Marvel Industries is up to this time.

Marvel International's actions were also incredibly swift.

A few days later, Marvel International held a press conference and invited major media outlets to attend.

On the day of the press conference, there were twice as many reporters as expected.

After the cameras and microphones were set up, the spokesperson on the stage didn't beat around the bush and dropped a bombshell.

"Marvel International will officially launch the world's first superhero!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a two-second silence in the audience, followed by an uproar.

What the hell?

Superheroes?

Aren't those things just in comics and movies? Where do superheroes come from in the real world?

The host on stage didn't explain further, but simply stepped aside and looked towards the side of the stage.

Everyone's eyes turned to that direction.

Then, they saw the figure slowly walk onto the stage in a wheelchair.

"It's Charles!"

"Why is he here?"

"Wait, the host just said they were introducing superheroes, does that mean...?"

'

The audience erupted in cheers.

This person is a top celebrity recently.

From his shocking remarks at the World's Fair to the revelation of the truth about the Bagu crisis, Charles's name had long been known throughout the United States.

They never expected that the other party would suddenly appear at Marvel's press conference.

Reporters instantly sensed the potential for attention, pointing their cameras at Charles, their shutters clicking incessantly, and the flashes so bright they were blinding.

Charles remained calm, clearly having received training.

He parked his wheelchair in the center of the stage and gave the camera a perfectly timed, friendly smile.

"Hello everyone, my name is Charles Xavier, and I am a Marvel superhero."

boom!

This caused the scene to erupt in cheers.

The so-called superhero introduced by Marvel is actually Charles, a mutant hero!
