Marvel: Starting with the forced creation of villainous characters

"Because I can't control you," Mark said honestly.

The water sprite nodded thoughtfully, barely accepting Mark's explanation.

The water sprite continued, "It seems you want me to leave?"

Mark, of course, couldn't admit to such a thing. He quickly retorted, "No, if you want to stay, I'd be happy to. After all, you're so strong, it's safer for you to stay by my side."

The water sprite didn't believe Mark's words, but instead said just as frankly, "I don't want to leave because I think you're quite interesting, and I want to stay by your side for a while. During this time, I can work for you."

"Stay by my side and work for me?" Mark looked at the water sprite with some surprise.

He was taken aback by the other person's sudden candor, but it was replaced by ecstasy.

It's no exaggeration to say that, based on the movie's plot, even if the Eternals can't completely overpower the Avengers, they can at least go toe-to-toe with them.

He would be more than happy to have such a person do things for him.

"Why?" Mark couldn't believe that the Water Sprite, this old monster who had lived for so many years, would be willing to work for a child.

"Because you're very interesting," the water sprite replied earnestly.

Mark could tell that the other person wasn't joking, but serious.

However, Mark quickly realized that for the Eternals, being interesting was indeed a necessary prerequisite for them to do certain things.

They've lived so long that it's hard for them to encounter anything that interests them, but if they happen to come across one, they'll do it.

There's no other reason, it's just because it's fun.

A glint of light flashed in Mark's eyes; he seemed to have thought of a way to use the Eternals.

"It's my pleasure," Mark said with a smile, extending his right hand.

The water sprite smiled and shook Mark's hand, then asked eagerly, "So what do we do next?"

The water sprite's current reaction is somewhat like that of a well-behaved child who has been suppressing their emotions for a long time, and then they follow their friends to do bad things.

The water sprite was never the kind of person who was well-behaved. The reason she seemed taciturn was simply because she had lived for too long, which caused her to lose interest in many things.

Marx exclaimed, "What's your superpower?"

Although the other party verbally said they were willing to work for him, Mark didn't completely believe them, so he still needed to test things out.

For example, the degree of honesty of the other party.

"Superpowers?" The water sprite tilted her head and pondered for a moment, then tried to explain in a way Mark could understand:

"I am good at creating illusions, but compared to normal people, I should also have superhuman strength. I can probably lift 5 tons, fly at a speed of about 1223 km/h, and also have simple energy projection."

"Hiss~" Mark gasped.

The water spirits in this world aren't from the movie version; they're more like a weakened version from the comics.

The water sprite in the movie only has the ability to create illusions, while the water sprite in the comics also has the ability to transform elements and recombine matter.

As for energy projection, it is actually a kind of energy ray, similar to an energy weapon from alien technology. In the movie, the water sprite does not have this ability.

However, the water spirit did not fully reveal herself; at least she concealed her identity and her immortality.

The immortality here does not refer to being immortal, but rather that even after death, the body remains in the same state and can maintain its original appearance while alive.

If a comparison were to be made, the Water Sprite's Eternal physique is already stronger than Jessica Jones', not to mention that her main ability is to create illusions.

In the storyline, the water sprite even creates illusions that cover the entire city of Tokyo.

Of course, this is also one of the reasons why the Eternals have always been criticized. The reason why Mark remembers it so clearly is because of this plot about whitewashing the dog.

"Such strong combat power, it would be a waste not to make use of it."

In less than two seconds, Mark had already come up with a hundred ways to use the water sprite.

After thinking it over, Mark suddenly felt sorry for Emma.

A naturally wicked person encountering a player with cheat codes is like meeting their natural enemy.

That little Karami actually tried to kill the water spirit; it just goes to show that ignorance is bliss.

Mark then asked, "Would you mind if I told other people about your abilities?"

"Do as you please. You'll find out sooner or later anyway." The water sprite nodded. She wasn't worried that her superpowers would attract unwanted attention after being exposed.

Firstly, because she is a master of illusion, and secondly, because she truly has the ability to protect herself.

Mark nodded.

To prevent Emma from doing anything foolish again, Mark decided to tell everyone about the water sprite's superpowers during dinner tonight.

"By the way, don't tell that Sharon Carter about this," the water sprite added. She said this because she realized that Sharon Carter wasn't one of Mark's people.

Mark nodded. In fact, even if the water sprite hadn't said anything, he wouldn't have told Sharon Carter about it.

When it was time for dinner in the evening.

Mark specifically told everyone about the water spirit's situation, and everyone was quite surprised. They didn't expect that the water spirit, who had always kept a low profile, was actually a superpowered being, and quite powerful at that.

"That's so cool! No wonder you weren't scared at all on the island," Mindy exclaimed in surprise, then extended a team invitation: "Want to join our superhero team and fight criminals in Hell's Kitchen?"

In Mindy's mind, seeing superheroes fight criminals is more like playing house, or a hobby.

"I won't go." The water sprite smiled and shook her head. She was long past the age of being bursting with a sense of justice, and she had long been disappointed in humans. She had no intention of doing anything chivalrous.

Emma was so angry she felt like a clown.

"That damn bitch is a superhuman? What about all my previous efforts? Just the clown's antics?" Emma thought angrily.

Jessica Jones was also pleasantly surprised, as she was no longer the only "freak" in the family. Due to her environment, Jessica Jones was still not very accepting of her superpowers.

If it weren't for Mark's recognition and support, she would probably still be feeling emo because of her own abilities.

Mindy wasn't saddened by the rejection; instead, she said with relief, "Great! With the Water Sprite at home, we won't have to worry about Mark when we go out to fight criminals."

mark:"……"

"I'm not a superhuman, I'm really sorry," Mark muttered speechlessly.

He wasn't prepared to reveal his abilities; after all, a trump card is only truly revealed when it's not yet shown.

The system assigned him the persona of a behind-the-scenes mastermind, so naturally he'll act as cunningly as possible.

The mastermind behind the scenes sounds like a major villain, who might be led astray by superheroes in the future, so it's better to keep a few trump cards in hand.

After everyone happily finished their dinner, they went about their own business.
