American Comics: I Drew Superman During the Great Depression

Chapter 326 Professor X (1/2)

"Charles Xavier? Professor x!"

Although he was far away in the ruins of New York City, Professor X's voice was directly transmitted to Colin's mind.

Professor

"Aren't you already dead?"

Colin is not afraid of Charles Xavier controlling his thinking. If the other party is really Professor influence.

In fact, although Professor X has the strongest telepathy ability, he rarely uses it in combat.

Under normal circumstances, he is more accustomed to creating "mental cages" to lock the personalities of mutants who he does not want to harm but continue to harm other people.

Under normal circumstances, the 'mental cage' he created was extremely effective, with only a few failures.

Once was the inner personality "Dark Phoenix" of his student Jean Grey, once was the Scarlet Witch in the Avengers, and the last time happened to his own son, Daqun.

"Indeed, according to what you said, I am indeed dead."

Faced with Colin's doubts, Professor

"There is no doubt about the power of Apocalypse. As one of the oldest mutants in the world, a long period of time has given him almost unrivaled power. Even I am not his opponent, let alone my opponent. It’s not just Tianqi.”

In this world full of discrimination, not all mutants are willing to follow Professor X's position.

Many mutants are very supportive of Apocalypse's approach to ruling the world, and are even willing to fight for it. In the process of fighting their compatriots, the X-Men have been extremely difficult.

"We were doomed to fail in this battle from the beginning. I am not afraid of death. As a mutant, I have lived long enough and experienced enough."

"I once used the ability of the 'mind cage' to try to seal off David's personality. Although this effort ended in failure, it unexpectedly left my spiritual imprint in his heart, and along with it My death mark also seemed to change, eventually prompting me to split from David's body and become a special personality."

It is not difficult to tell from Professor X's explanation that he did not show too much indignation about his death.

On the contrary, in the conversation with Colin, the other person showed more thoughts about the world.

"If possible, I don't want David to know my existence, because it will only make him more miserable. As a mutant, his abilities have brought him too much suffering, and this should not be caused by He's here to bear it."

When talking about the large group, Colin could clearly feel the sadness in Professor X's tone.

In this world, talent is not a blessing for mutants. On the contrary, many mutants prefer to regard it as a curse.

The misfortunes of many mutants are often caused by their unique talents.

Even a powerful mutant like Magneto once had a tragic experience because of his specialness, which even led to his later attitude of hatred towards humans.

In the eyes of others, the abilities of large groups are undoubtedly powerful. This kind of talent that combines countless abilities into one is difficult for even mutants like Magneto to match.

However, as a father, Professor

"Then why now?"

Hearing this, Colin frowned slightly.

If it is true as Professor

"Since the death of Apocalypse, David has been trying hard to save the world in his own way. This is bound to be a rough road, but as a father I can't stop him, so I hope you can save it when necessary. , help him, so that he can successfully go back to the past and kill..."

The previous battles had made Professor

"who?"

After hearing Professor

"I, Charles Xavier."

Under Colin's gaze, Professor X calmly said his name.

"Why?"

Faced with Colin's puzzled questions, Professor X still explained in a gentle tone, as if the target he said he wanted to kill was not him.

"Apocalypse's rule over the world is actually based on my telepathic ability to connect to the world, and the only way to prevent Apocalypse from completing everything is to make this ability disappear from the world, which is my death. "

Professor The human mind is as powerful as Professor X.

This is why Apocalypse chose Professor X as his target. After taking over his ability, Apocalypse can transmit mutant factors to any place in the world through his energy emission ability.

"I understand."

After listening to the reasons given by Professor X, Colin responded in silence.

In addition to the reasons revealed by Professor X, there is actually another idea in Colin's heart.

That is, if the group really traveled back to the past as Professor X wished and stopped everything from happening, does it mean that there is still an Apocalypse who holds the fragment of the Time Stone in the past.

In the timeline of the mutant time where Colin is now, the fragment of the Time Stone has long been taken away by Thanos. If Colin gets another fragment of the Time Stone from the past Apocalypse, will the future result change? In the end, will the fragment of the Time Stone in Apocalypse's hand fall into his own hands or Thanos's hands?

Because the speculation is mixed with the timelines of the past and the present, even Colin cannot guess what the result is, but in any case, this is a very challenging attempt.

This is also one of the reasons why Colin is willing to agree to Professor X's help.

...

"The internal structure of the belt?"

In the empty laboratory in the castle.

Colin glanced at the belt in front of him, and the next second his arm moved quickly, and in just a few seconds he drew a beautiful mechanism diagram on the drawing.

"So, this is why you asked Colin to help..."

On the side, watching Colin drawing the drawings like a precision machine, Banner adjusted his glasses and turned his head to Tony.

Because of the previous battle in the shelter, the Hulk in Banner's body was a little quieter, so he put more energy on the experiment in front of him.

"Of course."

Nodding, looking at the increasing drawings under Colin's hands in front of him, it was obviously his own idea, but the expression on Tony's face was still a little surprised.

Although he already knew Colin's ability, seeing that the other party could do the work that required professional scanning and drawing equipment with just his eyes and hands, Tony couldn't help but secretly exclaimed in his heart.

"Okay, it's done."

While Tony was secretly shocked, Colin in the laboratory also stopped his work and handed a thick stack of structural drawings in front of him to the two people behind him.

"Is it over?"

Subconsciously reaching out to take the drawings handed over by Colin, Banner said a little out of state.

"Do you need to confirm it again? After all..."

Faced with Banner's proposal, Colin smiled and was about to explain.

"No need."

Tony on the other side interrupted and said: "According to the results of the scan on Friday, everything is fine, even the details that the nano suits cannot scan are clearly presented on the drawings."

Although the infrared scanning device carried on the mark50 cannot achieve the same level of precision as Colin, combined with the results of the previous scans, Tony can basically confirm that there is no error in the structural drawings in front of him.

"In other words, the research can continue?!"

Hearing Tony's answer, Banner suddenly came back to his senses and looked at the drawings in front of him, and said excitedly.

"Not only that, with these detailed structural images, our repair of the belt will become extremely smooth. Perhaps it will only take a month, no, half a month or even less time to complete the repair of the belt."

"Great."

Hearing this, Banner smiled subconsciously.

As members of the Avengers, whether it is Tony, Banner, or even Captain America who helped the shelter find food in the mutant world, they have not forgotten their original purpose, which is to be able to return to their world.

In the laboratory, looking at the two excited people in front of him, Colin's eyes subconsciously passed through the shelter and appeared on the large group in New York.

It's not just the Avengers who have been moving.

...

The positive world, Los Angeles.

Even if there are already drawings provided by Colin, it will still take some time for Tony and others to officially repair the belt.

During this period, Colin returned to the positive world again to deal with the unfinished things in his hands.

Otto Kahn's attitude has been made clear. His acquisition of Paramount is not welcomed. As the largest film studio in Hollywood, even though it has gone bankrupt and reorganized, it is still firmly in the hands of Wall Street capital behind it.

Since Paramount is not willing to acquire it, Colin will naturally not waste time on it, even though he has been preparing for the acquisition of Paramount for a long time. However, Hollywood is not just Paramount. The situation of all studios during the Great Depression was not good.

Including Fox Film Company.

In the Ussrill Restaurant on Hollywood Avenue.

Still in the previous restaurant, the guest Colin saw once again changed from Otto Kahn, who was responsible for the reorganization of Paramount, to William Fox in front of him.

Compared with Otto Kahn, William Fox looked much more haggard. The car accident and the Great Depression had a huge impact on him. The terrible prison life made William Fox difficult to sleep for a long time afterwards.

Originally, he once ambitiously wanted to build a film empire of his own in Hollywood, but now William Fox just wants to get his money back.

"As far as I know, the current situation of Mr. William Fox's Fox Film Company is not good. It has been a long time since it has produced a film with a famous name."

Tasting the steak in front of him, Colin said to William Fox in front of him in a casual tone.

After hearing Colin's words, the expression on William Fox's face couldn't help but become a bit bitter, and even the steak in his mouth seemed to become difficult to swallow.

"This is because of the Great Recession, and the situation in Hollywood as a whole was not good. Fox Film Company itself did not have any problems, and the previous Fox Film Company had produced many excellent works, not even Oscar-level ones. Few more.”

Sensing the hesitation in William Fox's tone, Colin became more confident about this acquisition. He put down the knife and fork in his hand and wiped the sauce from the corner of his mouth. He continued: "I have not denied that Fox Film Company once Brilliant, but only once. The Great Depression caused an unprecedented blow to the entire film industry. Even Paramount declared bankruptcy because of this. William Fox, how long can your Fox Film Company last? "

As he spoke, Colin raised his head and looked into the eyes of William Fox. The latter avoided it with some guilt and quickly met him again to show his confidence.

"The current financial situation of Fox Film Company is as bad as one can imagine. In fact, the antitrust investigation launched by the judicial department against Fox Film Company is still ongoing."

This revenge method promoted by MGM became a tool used by Colin to persuade William Fox.

"In fact, according to the information I have learned, Mr. William Fox's current assets have already shrunk significantly due to the Great Depression. Under such circumstances, do you still intend to continue to support Fox Film Company?"

Colin's question about William Fox's estate clearly struck a soft spot in him.

William Fox was silent for a long time in the restaurant, and then he asked Colin in a hoarse voice: "So, Mr. Colin Looper, what is your quotation?" This website:
