Chapter 289: What you have to do now is to make up for it first
Big Apple, offshore.
Charles stood on the bow of the Coast Guard, staring blankly ahead, his mind full of what Yu Yan had said to him:
"It's your destiny to be bald, and so is Professor X."
He doesn't think he's a superficial person, and he doesn't have all the hair......
Well, hair is still very important, with hair he is rich and handsome, and without hair he becomes rich and weak.
But compared to having no hair, what makes it more difficult for him to accept is the identity of Professor X.
Because Professor X is too difficult, he obviously has the ability to be like a god, but in order to survive as a mutant, he has to endure humiliation and disguise himself as the Holy Mother of the White Lotus.
He stopped his good friends' plans again and again, saved the world again and again, and tried his best to gain the trust of humanity to prove that mutants and ordinary people can coexist.
But in the end, the mutants died because of the biological weapons specially developed by humans to deal with them - sentinels!
The funny thing is that ordinary people who are desperate to exterminate mutants are also exterminated by the sentinels.
Throughout Professor X's life, it is a tragic history of enduring humiliation.
Why is it that in other comics and film and television works, after the protagonist obtains superpowers, beauty, money, status, and fame ...... It all followed.
After he gained superpowers, he lived cautiously like a rat in the gutter, and in the end, he still had nothing to offer?
This is not true!
Charles tried to use telepathy to read Yu Yan's memory, but for some reason, he could see the other party with his eyes, and when he replaced it with telepathy, the other party seemed to not exist.
This is the first time he has encountered this situation, so he thought that his superpowers were gone, so he quickly peeped...... Well, I read Laurent's memory, and it turned out that -
Mr. Deputy Director seems to be very experienced in women's clothing.
Charles: "......"
To get back to the point, just as Charles was lost in thought, the ships of the Guard finally found the target, immediately sent assault boats, and issued a broadcast:
"This is the Lighthouse Nation Coast Guard, the ships in front are not allowed to move, stay where they are!"
Charles woke up and subconsciously telepathically "looked" at the target yacht.
Who knows, his "look" is like an outstretched tentacle accidentally hitting another tentacle, and the fists of both sides touch each other, and no one takes advantage.
Apparently, there is also a mutant with telepathic or similar abilities on the yacht opposite.
Charles was very excited.
Although he has studied mutants quite a lot, and even published a paper with "great repercussions", he has not come into contact with many mutants.
Otherwise, as soon as Moira said that he had been in contact with other mutants, he happily agreed to go to the CIA as a consultant, and even if this consultant did not succeed in the end, he would be willing to join the CIA's subordinate unit X department.
Today, he meets not only mutants, but also mutants with the same abilities as him.
It's like a person in a foreign country, who rarely meets his own compatriots, and is from the same city, and naturally has a sense of closeness.
However, before he could get close to the other party, a huge anchor flew out of the sea, with a long chain attached to it, and smashed it towards the yacht.
The anchor landed on the yacht, and instead of making a hole in a free fall movement, the iron chain was straightened, like a silk thread cutting through the shelled egg, and the yacht's building was directly shaved off.
Seeing this scene, all the people on the coast guard ship were dumbfounded.
If Newton hadn't been lying under the apple tree but had appeared here, perhaps the laws in the textbooks would have looked a different story.
"This ...... Is it the Iron King, no, Magneto? ”
Charles is a spirit, thinking of someone in "X-Men", who is said to be his destined best friend.
Well, he has already defaulted to Professor X, from his name, abilities, to his childhood sweetheart Raven and the sudden appearance of Magneto, all of which made him gradually trapped in the shell of Professor X and unable to move.
Life is like that, since you can't escape it, then enjoy it!
He used his telepathy with all his might, and soon found a man about his age in the waters near the yacht, and learned from the man's memory that this man was named Eric Lanshel, who not only had the same name as Magneto, but also had the same abilities.
Eric appears here to hunt down their target, Sebastian Shaw.
Sebastian Shaw was originally a scientist who discovered Eric's ability to control metal while in a concentration camp and shot his mother in order to stimulate Eric's explosive abilities.
After the end of World War II, Sebastian Shaw became the black king of the Hellfire Club, and Eric embarked on the road of avenging his mother, all the way to find Shaw here, but was activated by Shaw's subordinate Emma, the White Queen, to activate the pain in his memory, and then pushed off the ship with a palm.
Not reluctant, Eric uses an anchor to cut off the building of the yacht on which Shaw was riding.
However, the cunning Xiao actually hides a submarine under the yacht.
Seeing that the enemy he had managed to find was about to leave in a submarine, Eric rose up and tried to take control of the submarine.
But at this time, he is not the man who "goes out with his own Golden Gate Bridge or gymnasium", and it is more difficult to overcome the resistance of the sea water and the power of the submarine than to lift the Golden Gate Bridge.
The frenzied Eric is so focused on the submarine that his body sinks involuntarily, and it is estimated that he will drown in a short time.
Seeing this, Charles didn't think about it, and jumped into the sea with a pop and swam towards Eric.
As for the guards on the assault boat closer to Eric, I don't know if they didn't react, or if they deliberately wanted to create an opportunity for Charles to heroically save "Beauty", they all looked lively.
Magneto deserves to be "in love" with Professor X, but he has no good impression of ordinary people!
"Stop! You're going to drown, stop! Charstow grabbed Eric by the shoulder, responded to him with inspiration, and said, "I know it's important to you, but you're going to die!" Calm down, Erik! ”
Eric was reluctant to stop, but he was unable to do so, and could only sense the submarine leaving through a magnetic field, and then was put on the surface by Charstowe.
"Let go of me, let go!" Eric was still unwilling, trying to shake off Charles and catch up.
Charles reassured: "Calm down! Here we are, Eric. ”
It was only at this point that Eric turned his attention to him: "Who are you?" ”
"Charles Francis Xavier."
"You invaded my mind, how did you do that?"
Charles: "You haven't heard my name?" ”
Eric was stunned: "You are famous?" Could it be a Hollywood star? Sorry, I've been chasing Shaw and not watching entertainment. ”
Charles: "I think what you have to do now is to make up for it first." I mean, read a comic. ”
Erik: "......"
Did I hear it wrong, or are you kidding me?
