American Comic: Creating An Oasis And Rise Of Mutants (Marvel X DC) - 2. Project Proposal for Saving the Mutants
In Professor X’s office, the atmosphere suddenly became tense. Lynn’s words came across as too simple and rude, even causing the usually composed Professor to show signs of distress.
“You… don’t agree with my philosophy?” Professor X asked, feeling heartbroken that after ten years of teaching, one of his students didn’t seem to recognize his ideas.
Simultaneously, a deep anger welled up within him. “Do you believe Magneto is right? That mutants can only survive if all human beings are wiped out?”
“Of course not,” Lynn shook his head, “At any time, mutants are only a minority group, and the vast majority of mutants are well aware of the strength of various high-tech weapons. Only a very small number of top mutants could potentially directly threaten humanity.”
“So, unless their strength is overwhelming and can sweep everything, Magneto cannot succeed.”
These words brought some relief to Professor X, but they also left him puzzled. “If that’s the case, why do you think I will lead the mutants to perish?”
Lynn let out a soft sigh. He was well aware that the plot dictated the future events.
“With all due respect, Professor, licking a dog will never earn respect, and blindly giving will not lead to true friendship.”
He looked at Professor X’s aging face and spoke earnestly, “Professor, you are too flattering and tolerant towards human beings. The peace you seek by doing so essentially relies on the goodwill of human beings…”
“This is like building a castle in the air, false and dangerous”
To be frank, Professor X is an indispensable spiritual leader of the mutant group, but he is not necessarily a qualified leader. He is only seeing one side of the coin.
Moreover, he has significant limitations in his thinking. Perhaps due to his intellectual nature, he believes that showing kindness to human beings will earn their friendship. However, he fails to realize that this is a war.
It’s a war between mutants and humans, X-Men and Magneto. The former is a struggle for the survival rights of two species, while the latter is a battle of ideologies.
Anyone familiar with the history of the Dragon Kingdom knows that in both of these situations, the bloodshed and conflict were immeasurable.
Victory leads to life, defeat leads to extinction! There is no middle ground.
And what about Professor X?
He has defeated Magneto multiple times, but he has never killed him. Even when he defeated the Brotherhood of Mutants at the Statue of Liberty (X-Men 1 story), he merely handed Magneto over to human officials and imprisoned him.
Of course, this can be explained by the fact that he needs Magneto as a constant threat to make humans appreciate the peaceful mutants more.
But what about Jean Grey?
Despite teaching the students at the academy not to fear their superpowers, but to accept, master, and control them, he never allowed Jean Grey to explore and harness the power of the Phoenix.
Instead, he simply and rudely suppressed the Phoenix power, leading to the tragic suppression of the Phoenix girl.!
“False? Dangerous?”
Professor X was not familiar with the nuances of oriental culture, nor was he aware of Lynn’s inner thoughts. He just frowned, awaiting further explanation.
“That’s right!” Lynn nodded firmly. “Professor, have you ever considered that even if one day humans coexist peacefully with mutants, the politicians, careerists, and powerful corporate groups… will they cease developing weapons against mutants?”
“This is impossible”
“It’s not about good or evil, it’s about human nature”
“Mutants possess powerful abilities, which make humans extremely insecure. No one wants their life and fate to be at the mercy of others”
“So, it’s alright if the development of weapons against mutants is stalled. However, once they are developed… It will mark the day when humans will completely eradicate mutants..And when that day comes, mutants who lack vigilance will perish even faster!”
His words were resolute and emphatic, every word ringing with conviction.
Professor X looked at Lynn in astonishment. He did not expect such profound and thorough analysis from a student who had never left the academy.
Over the years, he had pondered the future of mutants countless times, deeply troubled for the well-being of the mutant community. Therefore, he had to admit that what Lynn said made a lot of sense.
Even he himself had not considered this possibility…
But in the current situation, mutants struggle just to survive. Isn’t it too early to worry about such distant future scenarios?
“Lynn, you’ve truly surprised me” Professor X took a deep breath, sensing the aura of a leader in the young man who hadn’t even turned eighteen.
This visionary quality surpassed all the other teachers in the school. Lynn couldn’t be treated with common standards!
“I heard that you spend a lot of time in the library. It seems you’ve truly learned a lot over the years…”
Looking at Lynn’s young and determined face, Professor X sighed deeply, “As you said, mutants are a minority group, and if we want to change our living conditions, we have a long road ahead, and it may not always be right…”
“But precisely because of this, the X-Men, the new generation of mutants like you, and I are needed to work together, right?”
“If you leave the academy now, are you just giving up and watching the mutant situation worsen every day?”
Lynn was taken aback, then he smiled. “Professor, I didn’t say I’m giving up.”
Having transmigrated to this world and being a mutant, Lynn didn’t want to be prey to others and live in fear all his life. When he entered the X Academy, he had already started making his own plans.
As he spoke, he snapped his fingers, and a stack of A4 papers appeared on the desk out of thin air. The cover was prominently labeled – “Project Proposal for Saving Mutants”
Professor X’s eyes trembled with excitement.
