Marvel's Superman

Chapter 342 - 339 Unfortunate Childhood, School For The Gifted.

Luke pushed for the establishment of the Mutant Academy, and finally finalized the plan, and passed the congressional bill.

It was different from the private school of the bald professor of the future. It was a no-certification needed, no-qualification needed, no-federal-approval needed educational institution that couldn't be banned at any time and fined severely.

This institution belonged to S.H.I.E.L.D. It had a strong faculty, a wide range of certifications, a beautiful principal, and an honorary trustee -- Superman.

If they really opened enrollment to anyone, the threshold would be flattened by the number of people coming in.

If it weren't for the fact that the school only accepted mutants, the rich and famous upper-class elite would probably send their own children to the school.

After graduating, no matter in business or politics, they would be regarded as students taught by Superman.

What?

Are you saying Superman wouldn't attend classes at all and was only an honorary trustee?

It didn't matter, as long as there was a connection with him.

It was like those many people who went to prestigious schools for the golden plaque; it's not about studying well and improving every day.

Interpersonal communication, as well as sparkling personal resumes, was their real purpose.

And being from a prestigious school, or going to the same school as a celebrity, would always make other people show a bit more respect.

In American politics, there were already the 'Harvard clique' and 'Yale clique'.

The Supreme Court had nine top justices, all of whom came from Harvard and Yale law schools.

Many people say that you don't need to be a graduate of a prestigious school to be President, but if you want to be a Supreme Justice, you have to be from Columbia and Northwestern, not Harvard or Yale.

Anyway, Superman set out to set up a mutant academy, which attracted a lot of attention.

'In that case, young Charles should be the best in his class?'

Luke leaned back in the limo's back seat and closed the file that the White Queen had compiled and delivered.

They are on their way to Manhattan's Long Island, where the recently built Mutant Academy was located.

The original address was a private winery.

Later, due to poor management, it went bankrupt.

S.H.I.E.L.D. acquired it at a very low price and transformed it into an all-in-one modern campus.

The Mutant Academy was close to Howard Stark's estate and was considered a neighbor.

In the future, if he had nothing to do, he could still visit next door.

"Mental ability has always been rare. The fact that Charles was able to awaken his talent and master his abilities at such a young age, he's indeed a rare genius."

The White Queen lifted her hair behind her ears and whispered.

Most of the natural abilities of mutants are awakened in adolescence.

Intense emotions and rapid growth could easily activate the X-gene in their body.

If someone could awaken their abilities at a young age, their strength wouldn't be too bad.

Just a few people, Professor X, Magneto, the Phoenix Jean Grey, Mr. Fantastic's son Franklin …

They're all powerhouses.

The worst was an Alpha-level powerhouse.

"By the way, he has a younger sister, called Raven, who's also a mutant."

The White Queen seemed to remember something and added.

"She can change her own cellular and tissue structure. Simply put, she can morph and take on the appearance of anyone, even subtle things like irises and fingerprints."

Luke raised an eyebrow, the future Professor X and Mystique had become his students.

The few leaders of the mutants, only Magneto, hadn't appeared.

Speaking of, he always thought that Professor X was someone with a protagonist role, inherited his parents' wealth at a young age, and adopted a sister who wasn't related by blood.

Both parents died, he got the car and the house, he had a beautiful sister and a best friend who shared affection and dislike for each other…

'He's more of a protagonist than I am!'

"I read that young Charles was born into a wealthy family in New York, and his father Brian Xavier was a scientist, who later joined the business community and became rich."

Luke put his mind at ease and asked, "How could he accept that his son is a mutant, or, to put it another way, how could he accept that his son is enrolled in a school for mutants?"

Such an approach, to use an inappropriate analogy, was tantamount to an elite sending their son to a school in the slums.

There was no doubt that they would bear some strange looks and criticism.

Although on the legislative front, Luke had already started to secretly push for the passage and implementation of a Mutant Registration Act and was ready to change the public perception.

This wasn't something that could be changed and achieved overnight. It took time to accept.

"I made a visit and met Charles's parents."

White Queen was studying hard on how to be a qualified Principal.

Since she ran away from home, she hadn't had a proper occupation or career.

After joining the Hellfire Club, he shouted slogans with Sebastian Shaw every day to brainwash their compatriots.

It didn't give people a sense of satisfaction and self-identity at all.

The White Queen was grateful to Luke for leaving the management of the Mutant Academy to her.

That night, when she sat 'there' and shook her waist, her movements were much more vigorous.

"Charles's parents were more open-minded and accepted their son's mutant status very early."

White Queen shook off the embarrassing picture in her mind and went on to say, "That child is much more mature and quiet than his peers. He has his own ideas and is very smart."

"The decision to adopt Raven was also a decision his parents made after he convinced them."

"He personally believes that a mutant academy is more appropriate than an ordinary private high school or an elite school."

Luke nodded his head. A psychic like Charles could listen to their hearts and read their thoughts.

It was too easy for him to guide the behavior of others.

What's more, he had been behaving like the perfect child, studying hard and listening quietly.

Every governess in charge of teaching young Charles had expressed the same sentiment --

This was a true prodigy, a genius!

'With very different family backgrounds and childhood experiences, it's no wonder that those two people would take opposite paths in the future. '

Luke remembered the personal file he had just read and let out a chuckle.

Born into a wealthy family in New York, young Charles was a lucky kid who grew up with a silver spoon.

Living in the castle-like mansion in Westchester, he had servants to take care of his daily life.

And his future best friend and partner, Magneto -- Erik Lehnsherr.

However, because of his Jewish identity, his family was persecuted, he was placed in a concentration camp and felt the cruelty of war.

There was a saying, 'unfortunate people spend their lives curing their childhood, and lucky people spend their lives being cured by their childhood'.

The two leaders of the mutants, Professor X and Magneto, couldn't be more appropriate for this.

Magneto, who saw his mother die in front of him, saw and experienced all the terrible things on earth, such as racial persecution and slaughter.

Naturally, it was hard for him to understand Charles's pacifism and conservatism, and thus he thought such behavior to be cowardice and weakness.

However, Charles, who had a happy family and a happy life, could only sympathize with Magneto's miserable childhood but couldn't feel it.

Such a concept led to the division of the mutants and the confrontation between the two camps.

"How many students have you accepted this year?"

Luke talked about the main business. He started to build an academy; in addition to wanting to give mutants a place to live, he was also taking into account the rapid changes in the future.

Superheroes, alien races, evil organizations, cosmic crisis …

These were the eternal themes in the Marvel Universe.

Therefore, there was no harm in taking the lead and setting things up first.

"The total number of eligible candidates is thirty-one."

White Queen smiled a little helplessly.

On the one hand, many families still held conservative ideas about mutants.

On the other hand, about 30% of the mutants had significant genetic defects.

Either their appearance was much too different from ordinary people, or their ability was uncontrollable.

They were not eligible for enrollment and were referred to medical institutions at most.

"Not bad. There will be more and more in the future."

Luke was very satisfied. In his opinion, this wave of enrollment attracted future Professor X and Mystique to the door. It was quite successful.

It was equivalent to drawing ten times in a row and acquiring two legendary golden cards.

"Here we are."

Two iron doors opened up, and the limo slowly entered a vast private estate.

On the nameplate at the door were the words 'Cavill's School for Gifted Youngsters'.

That's the official name of the school.
