Marvel: Randomly load a protagonist template

Chapter 16 Rejection and the Wise

After playing around with Wolverine for a while and laughing along, seeing that he was in a better mood, Hawking turned around and went upstairs to keep Wanda and Pietro company.

However, as soon as he reached the top of the stairs, he was blocked by Magneto and Mystique.

"Child, do you know you have great potential?"

"I know, I've always felt that I was destined to become a great person in the future."

Hawking smiled, knowing full well the strength of his abilities.

Even if he only has the Saiyan bloodline he has now, if he is developed well in the future, he will definitely have a place in the Marvel Universe, not to mention that he has more than one protagonist template.

"Very good, I like your confidence, but you're wasting your time here. Follow me, and I can better develop your potential and allow you to fully utilize your abilities."

Magneto begins to preach his mutant supremacist ideology to Hawking, envisioning a bright future and trying to manipulate him into joining the Brotherhood of Mutants.

"The teachers all told me you're a bad guy, but I actually agree with some of your views."

However, I still feel that a school for gifted children is more suitable for my development.

Your place is too poor; people are constantly on the run and still get chased.

Maybe I'll think about it when I'm older.

After patiently waiting for Magneto to finish speaking, Hawking gave his answer: he refused Magneto outright.

He was telling the truth. Magneto was a nice guy, but he wasn't as rich as Professor X. The mutant school had good food and drinks, so why would he join the Brotherhood of Mutants, who were constantly on the move? Even if he were a real mutant, he wouldn't join.

He didn't rule out any possibility, leaving Magneto with some hope that at least in the event of a future confrontation, Magneto wouldn't go for the kill.

"It's okay, as long as you've thought it through, you're welcome to come find me anytime."

Magneto wasn't too surprised by Hawking's answer and maintained his smile.

It's normal. Students who have been brainwashed by Charles don't come to terms with reality or the incorrigible nature of humanity so quickly.

"Excuse me, beautiful young lady, could you please move aside?"

Hawking turned to look at Mystique, who had blue skin all over her body.

To be honest, Mystique's figure is really amazing, it's just that her blue skin is a little hard to accept.

However, its ability to transform into anyone, including iris, fingerprints, skin texture, voice, and gender, completely compensates for this shortcoming.

Having Mystique is like having the whole world; you'll never lack novelty and it will satisfy any of your imaginations.

The thing is, he's been pondering a question: does Mystique's blue skin count as wearing clothes? If not, then wouldn't she be dressed every day?

"This kid is quite realistic, and also quite cunning."

After Hawking went up to the second floor, Mystique licked her lips and commented.

Magneto nodded:

"It's okay. The more personality he has, the less likely he is to stay here. He'll join us sooner or later."

Although they didn't spend much time together, the experienced Hawking could still tell from his words and actions that Hawking was not someone who was content with solitude, nor was he like Charles, an idealist.

"Hopefully so. I don't dislike this sweet-talking little guy."

Mystique shrugged, activated her powers, and instantly transformed into Jean Grey wearing a sexy tank top.

"I'm going to tease that silly wolf."

"Don't go too far; we'll still need them before the plan is complete."

Magneto gave a smug look and said something.

"Don't believe anything Magneto says. He almost killed Rogue last time."

As soon as they reached the second floor, Storm suddenly appeared.

She was wary of Magneto and didn't feel comfortable letting him and Magneto wander around the villa, so she kept an eye on them, intentionally or unintentionally.

Sure enough, she had just noticed Magneto stop Stephen Hawking and say something to him.

"I know he wants me to join his fraternity, but I've already refused."

Hawking replied without hiding anything.

"However, Professor Ororo, I think we should be careful of Magneto when we go to rescue the professor."

If Stryker could control Professor X to wipe out all mutants in the world, Magneto might very well take the opportunity to have Professor X wipe out all of humanity.

Upon hearing Hawking's reminder, Storm's pupils immediately contracted.

Yes, how could she not have thought of that? If it were Magneto, he really might have done something like that.

"Thank you, Hawking. This is very important. I'll keep that in mind!"

"Of course, this is just a guess; maybe he's not that bad."

Hawking smiled and shrugged.

Revealing Magneto's plan to Storm in advance was also to put them on their guard, otherwise they wouldn't even know they'd been tricked.

This was also to re-establish his image as a wise man and to make up for some of the negative effects of being a child.

Whether he is truly wise or not is not important; what is important is to make everyone feel that he is. That way, when he offers advice in the future, everyone will take it seriously and trust him more.

"He's just that bad; looks like I'll have to keep a close eye on him!"

Storm was initially unsure, but after hearing Hawking's words, she became increasingly convinced that he would do it, otherwise he wouldn't be so eager to cooperate with them.

"Oh, right, there's one more very important thing."

Seeing that Storm was about to leave to inform the others, Hawking stopped her again.

"What's so important?"

This time, Storm Girl clearly took it much more seriously.

Hawking explained:

"My ability is that after a burst of power, I can greatly enhance my physical attributes and unleash some energy attacks. I think I mentioned all of this after the meeting just ended."

"Yes, I did say that."

Storm nodded.

We're all going to the base tonight to rescue the professor, so we need to know each other's capabilities to coordinate well.

"Because Magneto was there, I didn't finish what I said. It was that after I saw the moon on the night of the full moon, my strength would increase significantly, but with my current control, I would lose my mind at that time."

So if that time really comes tonight, remember to cut off my tail so I can recover.

Hawking explained his special circumstances in advance.

Actually, he originally considered keeping it a secret, because if he didn't need it, he could keep this trump card and not let anyone know about it.

But after thinking about it, it doesn't seem necessary.

Without reason, the Great Ape form will only lead him to a point where he is feared and hated by everyone, just like the Hulk.

If no one knows that cutting off his tail can restore him to normal, and he ends up in his giant ape form all night, the consequences would be absolutely unimaginable.

It's estimated to be even more destructive than the Hulk when he's controlled by Wanda and loses his mind; at least the Hulk can't spew energy cannons from his mouth.

This is not the outcome he wanted.

"Such a thing is true!"

Storm was hearing about Hawking's condition for the first time.

But trusting Hawking, she carefully wrote these down and planned to tell Wolverine, Colossus, and Nightcrawler later.
