Superman

I hate unknown and unstable factors, as well as sudden changes and troubles.

"Ms. Frost, your compliment brightens my day."

Luke waved his hand and quickly put away the vanity that quietly arose and the fleeting self-reflection.

The satisfaction that power brings is just the condiment to the meal.

He still has a long way to go, and he will not be limited to the planet beneath his feet.

It was a bit premature to start to feel complacent at this time.

"Let's talk about your troubles. You know, I'm always happy to solve people's troubles and solve problems."

Luke put his arms around the White Queen's waist and leaned back on the large and comfortable seat.

He didn't come to the Hellfire Club just to reminisce about old times and have physical contact.

There are other business matters.

"I'm waiting for your words."

The latter sat on Luke's lap, put his hands around each other's neck, and stuck together in an extremely intimate and ambiguous posture.

If this happened to the Hellfire Club, the other mutants would probably hear their hearts break.

Generally speaking, the power structure dominated by men will behave either toughly or kindly, fully demonstrating the charm of personality.

Women have the right to speak, and they tend to carefully design their own image to win more fans.

To put it simply, the White Queen's character in the Hellfire Club is that of an iceberg goddess who is unattainable and can only be viewed from a distance.

But with Luke, the fantasy object of the younger generation of mutants, he easily took off his cold, beautiful and inviolable coat.

"You should also be aware of the recent actions of Essex Biological Corporation. They capture mutants for genetic experiments, and they also want to take away the research base of Lake Akalia from S.H.I.E.L.D."

The White Queen's eyes showed a hint of schadenfreude, it was obvious that someone was going to be unlucky.

The last guy who tried to steal something from Superman had grass on his grave that was two feet high.

"...That's it, Nathaniel Essex, he is a powerful mutant who once followed Apocalypse, and now he is mixed up with the government."

The White Queen did not add fuel to the fire or fan the flames, but simply stated Essex Biotech's plan as it was.

The latter, S.H.I.E.L.D., and Superman themselves are in opposing camps.

Otherwise, why would Kang the Conqueror seek cooperation from Mr. Omen?

The latter is dedicated to becoming the next mutant god, Apocalypse.

He worked hard to study biological genes and attempted to change life through science.

But unfortunately, Mr. Omen has an invincible opponent, an insurmountable obstacle, Superman and S.H.I.E.L.D.

The disappearance of the latter, coupled with the instigation of Kang the Conqueror.

This prompted Mr. Omen to take risks and repeatedly test the danger of having his head blown off.

"Very well, I need you and the Hellfire Club to step up to the stage."

After hearing this, Luke's eyes flashed slightly and he chuckled: "If you abide by the rules of the game, you can kill a large company that is rising and has a government background."

"Howard made a detailed plan for this."

The White Queen nodded, she had no doubt about what Superman said.

Whether it is at the gambling table or in a private duel, Mr. Omen seems to have little chance of winning.

This time, he hit an iron plate.

The White Queen smiled faintly, and then blocked Superman's mouth enthusiastically.

In this way, she announced that the work discussion was over.

Next, is the exercise session for private entertainment.

…

…

Two days later.

Essex Tower.

This forty-five-story, towering skyscraper is considered one of Manhattan's landmark buildings.

It was originally a top-grade apartment, but later it was bought directly by Mr. Omen, who was generous and squandered government funds, and used it for office space.

"It feels really good to look down at all living beings from a high place."

Mr. Omen, who was wearing a high-end suit, folded his hands on his chest and said with emotion.

The reason why those self-proclaimed elites and upper-class humans like high-rise buildings is probably because they enjoy the wonderful experience of having the city under their feet.

"I used to be immersed in experimental research, cold data, cold corpses... but I forgot that a life filled with power and money is actually very interesting."

Mr. Omen, the current head of Essex Biotech, came up with such boring thoughts.

With the support of the White House and the future technology of Conqueror, this biological company established a firm foothold and achieved such a great reputation in just half a year.

Many media and newspapers believe that Essex will become the second Stark Industries.

Such remarks seemed more like a joke to Mr. Omen himself.

"Howard Stark...a lucky guy."

Mr. Omen didn't look down on that world-class genius, partly because of the mutant's arrogance and partly because of his personality.

He was once a serious scientist, a contemporary of Darwin. Later, he was rejected and disliked by mainstream academic circles because of his extreme theories and racially charged speeches.

This past has made Mr. Omen neurotic, cynical and jealous.

From then on, he hated any scientist who was sought after and recognized by the mainstream.

Especially a genius like Howard Stark who is recognized by the world.

"Maybe Kang the Conqueror is right. I should do it myself to make sure nothing goes wrong."

Mr. Omen rubbed his chin. The clone warriors sent out a few days ago failed.

Howard Stark is obviously not as simple as he seems. He hides a secret card that is not known to everyone, so he can deal with the clones who are fully qualified as super soldiers.

jingle bell, jingle bell

The rapid ringing of the phone interrupted Mr. Omen's contemplation.

He turned around and walked closer, picking up the phone.

"Mr. Essex, there are a lot of mutants gathered downstairs, and they are protesting."

The female secretary's slightly panicked voice reached her ears.

"Protest against what?"

Mr. Omen felt strange.

When did mutants dare to appear in public openly?

And even launched a protest?

"They said that the company imprisoned and detained mutants and conducted illegal and cruel experiments that were inhumane."

Perhaps the female secretary had never seen such a scene before, and said in a panic: "The security guards tried to drive them away, but they failed, and many media reporters were attracted."

"I see."

Mr. Omen said calmly and hung up the phone.

"The trick the White Queen came up with? I have the support of the puppet president. Do I really think that by finding a group of mutants who are rejected by the mainstream and shouting a few slogans, I can shake the status of Essex? I am naive."

Mr. Omen spoke with contempt and did not take it to heart.

Until half an hour later, he saw the news broadcast on the TV

"My brother Bob, he has always been an obedient boy and has never done anything bad."

"Just two days ago, people from Essex Biotech broke into my house and they were going to take Bob away forcibly just because he was a mutant."

"The fierce thugs, holding a government work license, pressed him to the ground extremely cruelly and pressed his neck with their legs..."

"Poor Bob, he is just a child, there is no way he can resist..."

"He said, 'I can't breathe' and called my mother's name..."

"..."

On the TV, there was a dark-skinned man complaining with blood and tears.

"Mutants also have the right to live in this country and should receive equal treatment..."

"This is a free country. We breathe the air of freedom, so we deserve to be free!"

The black man raised his arms and shouted, winning the support and applause of the melon-eating crowd who surrounded the road on three levels inside and outside. Although they didn't pay attention to the content at all, they just shouted along and it was done.

"By the way, Bob is gay, has joined the Animal Welfare Society, is a vegetarian, believes in Christianity, and is a follower of Muhammad."

the black man added.

"He should have had a better life, but it was all destroyed by Essex Bio!"

Discriminated mutants + discriminated black people + marginalized groups + small animal protection + religious people...

Full damage!
