Marvel: Starting with the forced creation of villainous characters

Chapter 44: The Mystery of the Mutants' Disappearance.

Mark clicked on that world-class clue.

World-class secret: Pepsi, Coca-Cola, and other beverages have the effect of killing the X gene, and no more than 50 people in the world know this secret.

mark:"???"

There's a saying in Marvel that the rich rely on technology while the poor rely on mutations. In America, there's also a saying that Pepsi and Coca-Cola are the "happy water" for the poor.

When these two factors are combined, the possibility of the poor changing their ways is eliminated.

Do all people fear superpowered individuals?

Mark disagrees. Those old-guard Stars and Stripes aristocrats certainly understand the value of absolute strength better than ordinary people; otherwise, America wouldn't use a "happy education" approach to keep the lower classes ignorant.

What they fear is perhaps not superpowered individuals, but rather that they themselves are not superpowered.

"However, there's something special about this universe." Mark silently mourned for the mutants for half a second.

Mark remembers that before 2000, the most common news reports were about mutants causing destruction, but since 2000, such news has become increasingly rare.

Today, few ordinary people pay attention to the mutant community.

However, this might be good news for mutants, as many mutants actually wish they were ordinary people.

Unfortunately, the probability of a mutant mutating is both good and bad, but ultimately the bad ones outweigh the good ones. This is why many ordinary people are afraid of becoming mutants.

Those who experiment on mutants are actually hoping to find a stable way to awaken positive superpowers.

In Stark's seaside villa.

Tony Stark stared incredulously at Sharon Carter.

Just now, Sharon Carter told him a truth he couldn't accept: the mastermind behind the kidnapping was actually his respected uncle, Obadiah.

What he found most unacceptable was that Obadiah had initially intended to kill him, but the terrorists were more ambitious and wanted to capture him to make weapons.

If it weren't for the terrorists' intentions, he might already be a corpse.

But with the evidence right in front of him, Tony Stark had no choice but to accept the fact.

Sharon Carter crossed her arms and calmly watched Tony Stark gradually calm down.

If Skye, a self-taught hacker, could hack into Obadiah's personal computer, then she, a Level 9 agent, would have an even greater chance of doing so.

"Based on the evidence we have, your uncle is not only involved in hiring murderers, he's also been secretly smuggling weapons, selling Stark Industries weapons to terrorists," Sharon Carter added.

In fact, Obadiah's despicable acts didn't stop there. He also accepted kickbacks from the military, visited Lolita Island, and was a frequent visitor there.

Looking at the silent Tony Stark, Sharon Carter asked, "How do you plan to handle this?"

"If I hand him over to you, what are you going to do with him?" Tony Stark asked.

"I don't mind if you hand it over to us. With his methods and connections, life imprisonment is no punishment for him," Sharon Carter reminded him expressionlessly.

In this capitalist world, even prisons are private, and the law serves the rich, and Obadiah is among the richest.

To deal with this level of tycoon, death is the most straightforward method. While using the power of rules to deal with such tycoons may be useful, its effectiveness is limited.

Tony Stark knew this too, but he sighed when he thought about what Obadiah had done for him over the years.

He couldn't bring himself to kill Obadiah.

Although Obadiah wasn't his biological uncle, in his heart, Obadiah had long been his elder.

Ultimately, Tony Stark couldn't bear it any longer and said, "I'll find him a good nursing home and make sure he never leaves it for the rest of his life."

Sharon Carter nodded noncommittally. One reason she came to rescue Tony Stark was because he wasn't a completely rotten person in the future.

At least within capitalist circles, Tony Stark is an absolutely perfect capitalist, and on the other hand, there's the desire to win over this future energy tycoon.

Moreover, Tony Stark is a superhero in the future, and he almost sacrificed himself to save the world during the Battle of New York.

"This is an internal matter for your Stark Industries; you can handle it yourselves," Sharon Carter said.

"Thank you for your help. If you ever need anything in the future, feel free to come to me. I, Stark, will always repay my debts," Tony Stark said solemnly.

Sharon Carter waved her hand and left the villa with a flourish.

I've been away for so long, I almost forgot to keep an eye on Mark.

"But I've only been gone for less than half a month, Mark shouldn't do anything bad, right?" Sharon Carter thought to herself with some unease.

Meanwhile, Mark is starting the main storyline.

Mark contacted Hammerhead, who had been restored, via satellite phone.

"Hammerhead, interested in becoming the King of Hell's Kitchen?" Mark unleashed his ultimate move right from the start.

"I...I really want to be the King of the Underworld." Hammerhead was so excited on the phone that he was incoherent, and it was hard to tell whether he was genuinely excited or just acting.

Mark said, "I can help you, but it mainly depends on you."

"Please give your instructions, and I will certainly not let you down," Hammerhead said solemnly.

"Tell me who your enemies are, from weakest to strongest, and I'll arrange for two superheroes to help you take care of those rivals."

Hammerhead: "???"

Why did you assign two superheroes to take care of my rivals?

How are these sentences put together?

Superheroes doing shady work?

Hammerhead suddenly felt that his new boss was a bit unreliable.

Mark added, "Hit-Girl and the female knight will help you deal with those unruly competitors; all you have to do is take over their territory and resources."

Upon hearing this, Hammerhead finally understood what was going on.

Hit-Girl has teamed up with someone again, and that person is a superhuman, invulnerable to bullets and blades, incredibly strong, and can even fly.

This is no secret in Hell's Kitchen, after all, HitGirl and Knight Girl's actions have always been quite high-profile.

If I had these two killing gods as my assistants...

Hammerhead suddenly felt that he might indeed have the aura of a king.

Putting HitGirl aside for now, the female knight is a genuine superhuman. In Hell's Kitchen, that level is basically equivalent to a dimensional reduction attack.

What can a bunch of gangsters do to fight a female knight?

After all, the era of mutants is over, and these days there are fewer superpowered people than pandas.

"Don't worry, boss, Hammerhead will definitely not let you down," Hammerhead quickly assured him.

Mark didn't believe the other party's assurances and warned coldly, "You don't need assurances, you just need to reciprocate with loyalty."

Mark hung up the phone and began to arrange the targets for the two female superheroes based on the information sent by Hammerhead.

As for using companions?

You tell me, aren't they fighting criminals?
