Chapter 433: The Rodney Affair
Namor, the king of the sea, thinks that the reasons that Iron Man and Mister Fantastic have found are bullshit. The only reason they want to deal with Ymir is because Imir's existence has violated their interests and interfered with their ambition to take control of all superheroes into the palm of their hands.
Mr. Fantastic was about to groom himself, but he shook his head and said, "Namor, this is actually"
"That's enough, if you want to continue to discuss this issue, then I'm going to withdraw from the secret meeting now, and I'll tell everyone your secret." For failing to protect Captain America, Namor was already very self-blaming.
He couldn't watch Ymir, who was on the same side as Captain America, being persecuted: "I warn you, if you want to hurt Captain America and Ymir, then don't blame me for being rude!" ”
Iron Man stopped Namor's impulse: "Namor! Your problem is that you act as if you are the only person here willing to trust Ymir and fight for him. You don't understand from my father Howard . During Stark's time, Ymir's grandfather had already joined S.H.I.E.L.D., and they were their closest comrades. We are all warriors, and if I had the choice, I would be willing to throw my fists to protect Ymir! ”
Namor, the king of the sea, sneered, and he retorted, "No, none of us are warriors. You are a politician, and I am the king of the seven seas! ”
"As long as you're here, you're not a king, I'm not a politician, there's no such two terms here." Iron Man exclaimed, "I'm a futurist, with my way of thinking, or with Reed's way of thinking. We can all see the future. That's why we can be such successful scientists. We can even know that people need an item before they know they need it. It's been designed and manufactured. And now, I'm about to tell you about the future. ”
Iron Man's speech was not very decibels, but he said extremely sternly: "A hero, maybe a young Avenger, or a mutant in Los Angeles. A carefree, carefree, and warm-hearted young man will also do bad things with good intentions. They're going to try to emulate the superheroes of the day. Walking the streets with a mask on, he is not responsible for his actions. ”
"They will follow our example and try to save others, but they don't have the ability. One mistake, one mistake or just one miss can cause someone to be injured or killed. Something like this happens in every corner of life and is documented, just like Rodney. Kim's case, like that, is repeated over and over again around the world."
March 3, 1991 was a day of mixed joy and sorrow in contemporary American history. On that day, the Iraqi government announced that it would accept the terms of a ceasefire proposed by the US-led coalition. The Gulf War officially ended.
And on the same day, Los Angeles, the second largest city in the United States. 4 white police officers beat up black youth Rodney. Kim's process was accidentally ingested on video, and four police officers were charged in California District Court for criminal offenses.
A year later, a predominantly white jury found the defendant not guilty. As soon as the verdict was announced, local black people were outraged and caused a race riot that killed 58 people, injured 2,328, arrested more than 11,900 people, burned more than 5,000 buildings, and caused billions of dollars in property damage.
With a slight cough, Iron Man said in an empty deep voice: "Until this uneasy feeling boils to its zenith, when every politician who wants to be famous will immediately appear on television and give a speech to tell the people how to save America from these madmen who think that the law does not apply to them." ”
Professor X twisted a little uneasily, a little dissatisfied with the example given by Iron Man, but in the end he didn't speak. Over the years, there have been countless politicians whose platform has been to oppose mutant access to public rights, pandering to domestic racism in the United States and trampling on the bones of the mutant minority to seek their rights.
Iron Man glanced apologetically at Professor X, and continued to say in a deep voice: "They will make a big scene, and when the time comes, their spearhead will not only be directed at one or a few young new heroes, but will directly point at Ymir, Spider-Man, Daredevil and other well-known heroes. ”
Everyone understands this truth, bombarding a few children who are not famous will not only not seek political interests, but will make the people disgusted with them because of sympathy for the weak. Then, the best targets are naturally Spider-Man and Daredevil.
Not many members of the public may know about Ymir's existence, but politicians who will do anything to make a name for themselves will surely dig deeper. They can expose Ymir's identity on television, destroy his marriage and family, and convict him of treason directly under the terms of the super-bill, both of which politicians use against their political opponents.
Iron Man confessed, "I can't guarantee what dirty means politicians will use to achieve their ends." At that time, Ymir will also stand up against the government for self-preservation. Then the country will be divided, both sides will take action, and the general public will suffer the most. Friends fight against friends, and they will cooperate with former hostile organizations to destroy their own careers. This will no longer be a civil war of limited scope, and our friends will end up dying at the hands of their former teammates, and that's what is about to happen. ”
Namor sneered, "You mean, if you control one Imir, you can wipe out all the future you foresee?" In that case, the future you foresee is too worthless. ”
"This is just the first step, and it is a step that must be done now." Iron Man said, "If we now represent the most powerful team of heroes on the planet, we can come to a cooperative and accept the unity of reality, and then spread that idea"
Namor simply had nothing to say to Iron Man, and after going around for a long time, Iron Man's purpose was still to use the influence of their people. Use the influence of Black Panther, Professor X, Black Bolt, and yourself to put pressure on superheroes who refuse to register the bill and guide them.
In this plan of Iron Man and Mister Fantastic, dealing with Ymir is important, but not the most important. Namor directly opened the dumb riddle of Iron Man: "You want to tell us that now as long as we build the United Nations of the hero world that you have been fantasizing about in your brain for many years, then what you said will not happen, right?"
