The Comprehensive Evolution of American Comics.

Chapter 442 Mutant Nation

A judicial body for parahumans? That's something new.

Strange, who had been looking tired, now showed interest, while Howard, on the other hand, looked calm.

"This proposal has been put forward by many members of parliament, and the government has also put this matter on the agenda and will establish a relevant agency in the near future."

Howard himself also feels that current laws are not applicable when dealing with some superhumans, and sometimes may result in penalties that are too light or too heavy. The government has actually been paying attention to this matter.

For example, the Supreme Squadron with law enforcement powers is an attempt by the government. Although the firepower of the police has been improved in recent years, there are still a small number of superhumans and super criminals who can override the police and even the army.

A powerful magician once said that magic should be used to defeat magic. Apparently, the government also took this into consideration, so after careful investigation, they chose the Supreme Squadron as the first group of superheroes to be recruited.

"An organization founded by you?" Gambit sneered. "Is that any different from before?"

"Don't worry, the superhumans who were captured must have made mistakes." Howard frowned, obviously dissatisfied with the King of Cards's unauthorized interruption.

"Then may I ask, is there any law to protect superhumans?" Yang Le asked with a smile. He had already seen that the shadow of the country was clearly standing behind this man with iron ambition. Although the two sides had no obvious intersection, he might still be the immediate superior of this Supreme Squadron.

"This..." Howard was stunned. This really didn't happen, because he himself was just an ordinary person. So from what Howard could see, ordinary people were always at a disadvantage when facing superhumans.

After all, without the protection of the armor, Howard would have no capital to compete with superhumans. This was all his actual experience in his short heroic career, so much so that he even forgot that the most common superhuman mutants today are the ones who are oppressed when ordinary people come into contact with them.

This is because, although there are a large number of mutants, their abilities vary. The strong ones can destroy a country like Magneto with a flip of their hands, while the weak ones will be unable to fight back like ordinary people when faced with beatings and bullying.

"So my proposal isn't directed at you." Yang Le looked at Magneto again. "Why not establish a kingdom exclusively for mutants? Then, have mutants send representatives to jointly establish a law enforcement agency with ordinary people?"

Yang Le had actually thought about this when he was reading comics. Since mutants are so unwelcome in today's society, why not set up a country exclusively for mutants like the Inhumans?

"If you're worried about humans imposing harsh penalties, then let mutants participate. If you're worried about mutants shielding their compatriots, then let humans supervise. You can even let various countries publicize the establishment of a mutant nation, and let those mutants who yearn for freedom and justice come to their own country."

Before Howard could say anything, Dr. Spectrum's eyes lit up. He felt that what Yang Le said was really a good idea. Not to mention those mutants who committed serious crimes, mutants who committed minor crimes would have a better place to go. They could choose to be sent to a mutant country and not be allowed to set foot in an ordinary person's country again.

This not only saves prison space and manpower costs, but also, to a certain extent, cuts off the possibility of them committing crimes again. If a mutant criminal reappears, it will be the mutants' fault for failing to supervise them properly. Magneto lowered his head and said in a deep voice, in fact, he had considered Yang Le's proposal and mentioned it to his good friend Charles, but the latter strongly opposed it. This is because Charles's philosophy is to eliminate the barriers between mutants and ordinary people. Mutants are also human beings and the two should not be distinguished.

However, establishing a mutant nation would actually separate mutants from humans, creating a complete conflict between the two. While the current generation of mutants might still remember that they were human, what about many generations from now? Perhaps mutants will truly become an independent race.

"Mutants should return to being human." Charles emphasized to him very seriously at the time. At that time, Magneto just thought that Charles was too stupid. You regard yourself as a human being, but the other party regards you as a beast.

Later, Charles, who was determined to implement his own ideas, went crazy, so Magneto killed him, and then inherited his will. He led the mutants for several years with ideas that Magneto himself thought were very stupid. Now, seeing that his ideas over the years have not made any progress, even Magneto can't help feeling discouraged.

"Maybe it's time to say goodbye to the past." Magneto sighed, and for a moment he couldn't help but recall the years he and Charles fought for mutants together.

They cooperated, quarreled, and worked hard for a common goal, but in the end, it was the wise Charles who died first. They had clearly said when they were joking together that if it weren't for his powerful strength, Magneto would have died countless times.

I didn’t expect that Charles, who knew when to advance and when to retreat and was sensible, would go crazy first... Strange?
Magneto couldn't help but frown. What had Charles gone mad about? Why couldn't he remember? He couldn't possibly forget something so important, right? Was there something wrong with his memory?
Impossible? He clearly remembered Charles's madness before his death, so how could he not remember why he went crazy?
This is obviously a very important matter, this is obviously a very important matter. He even had nightmares about it for several months. How come he can't remember it now?
This is obviously important, this is obviously important..., this is obviously... not important.

Magneto staggered and took a step forward with his right foot to steady himself. This sudden change scared everyone present, especially the mutants.

"Principal!" Scott rushed to Magneto's side in the blink of an eye, supporting Magneto with two strong hands. "Are you okay, Principal?"

The other mutants were a step slower, but they also gathered around Magneto and surrounded him, the worry on their faces was self-evident.

"It's okay." Magneto broke free from Scott's support, closed his eyes and took a deep breath and said.

"I am fine."

When Magneto opened his eyes again, all the emotions of confusion, chaos, anger, sadness and so on were gone, and he once again returned to his original calm state.

Magneto looked at Yang Le and said calmly, "I think you are right."
