Phil stood in a perfect position: the position of an outsider.

Because he has no interests with superheroes, and is completely guiding the country from the perspective of God, Phil himself has no flaws. The public is also very supportive and encouraging of his behavior, and other superheroes, even if they are unhappy and want to teach Phil some lessons, have to worry about the influence of the public.

And just like that, ten full months passed.

The fans that Phil accumulated as a mentor on the show "Successor" have been perfectly transformed into personal fans, and a large number of the public really believe that Phil is a person with real talents and learning.

Everyone knows that Phil has a staff member, but what superhero doesn't have a staff and an agent? It's normal to have staff, and most people still trust Phil's personal abilities.

Ten months later, Phil finally waited for another opportunity.

This time, the black apprentice in "The Successor" was seriously injured and unconscious by a super criminal who was stronger than him because of a misjudgment of the criminal's strength during his mission.

And Phil, as the mentor of this black apprentice, can be said to be the leader of this apprentice, and his evaluation of this matter naturally has a pivotal position in the eyes of the public.

Phil first went to visit the black apprentice in the hospital, and his sad expression was touching. At this moment, the barriers between whites and blacks, between the rich and commoners, seemed to be broken, and all saw only the sincere affection between a mentor and his apprentice.

Phil met with the black apprentice's girlfriend, offered her many precious gifts as condolences, and very generously offered to cover all of the black apprentice's medical expenses.

The girlfriend of the black apprentice was deeply touched and talked about the daily chores of the black apprentice when he got along with her in front of the camera.

The black apprentice held Phil in high esteem and thought that Phil had a good understanding of him, and before each mission, he would ask himself: What would he do if Phil's mentor was in this situation? And after each task, whether it was successful or not, he would ask himself: If it was Mentor Phil, would there be a better way to deal with this situation?

In the end, the girlfriend of the black apprentice said the famous words of a superhero predecessor: with great power comes great responsibility, and I hope that Phil can become a superhero and truly make his own contribution to changing the world.

Phil was silent for a long time, but did not give an immediate reply, but said that he would think about it, and then announced his decision on Twitter.

Two days later, Phil posted a motivational tweet.

He said that his life is easy and comfortable, and he has a career that he is willing to fight for. Becoming a superhero means that he has to give up his media company and the free life he has now, which is a huge sacrifice for him.

But then, his words changed.

Now, the successors of Captain World have become pedantic, and the superhero system that the people are proud of is gradually declining.

Those superheroes who have been famous for a long time are obsessed with fame and fortune, and they are less and less concerned about the lives of ordinary people.

The Superhero Association has gained a lot of commercial value in superheroes, they are more and more enthusiastic about making stars, packaging, and eliminating negative news, and they often deceive the public, because of stupid arrangements that make many ordinary people hurt because of crimes;

And those ordinary people who are like this black guy who are full of blood and become superheroes, who have no blood but are not strong enough to change the status quo.

Phil tweeted that while being a superhero meant a huge sacrifice for himself, he had had enough of the superheroes' inaction and the suffering that the crime problem had brought to the city, and he decided to step up and become a superhero to make a difference.

I hope that all the people can support him and recreate the spirit of Captain World with him, reduce the crime rate, save those tragedies that may happen in the future, and get the superheroes back on track.

The tweet was an immediate and enthusiastic response, and he used it to skip the first stage and gain the power of a superhero.

Phil's behavior caused alarm in the Superhero Association, for which Phil was an uncertain factor, and they feared that Phil's entry into the association would cause more damage to the existing system, so they did not send an invitation to Phil, but turned him away under the pretext of "guild regulations".

In this regard, Phil couldn't ask for it.

For the average superhero, joining the Superhero Association is the only option, because not joining means no visibility, no exposure, no task, and it is also difficult to contact the sponsor to provide him with the next stage of campaign funds.

But Phil doesn't need any of this, and joining the Superhero Association is a constraint on him.

So, Phil chose to become a "lone ranger", he was outside the entire superhero system, and only took action himself when he encountered the kind of event that would be 100% successful.

Not only that, but Phil also continues to spend a lot of money to buy off criminals through middlemen, learn about the criminals' plan of action in advance, and stop the crime perfectly.

Because most of the missions to be carried out are not dangerous, a small part is arranged, and there are no unknown missions forcibly assigned by the guild like other heroes, so Phil's success rate in carrying out missions is particularly high.

Whenever Phil successfully carries out a mission, he will arrange for his media company and well-connected TV stations to make a big splash, and he will tweet frequently to reveal some details of the operation to his supporters.

Moreover, Phil made a big fuss about not joining the Superhero Association, which had three benefits:

First of all, it can create a feeling of "volunteering" for all fans, and compared to those who become superheroes for fame and fortune, Phil will appear more noble and independent;

Secondly, he can not participate in some events that are difficult, have a low success rate, and are unwilling to make a move, and fans will not question him for picking, after all, he can't get the details of various events without being within the Superhero Association, and Phil can say that it is too late for him to know about this event;

Finally, he can stay out of the field and continue to evaluate some events that he did not participate in, while at the same time being free to complete some events. In this way, it not only silences those who say "you can do it", but also does not show cowardice because of participating in events that are beyond their control.

So, Phil continued to accumulate fame through this means, and in the minds of fans, he is a superhero who is truly capable, faithful, and emotional, the only problem is that there are not enough supporters, so Phil's superpowers are limited and he can't do some bigger things.

And the Superhero Association's "jealousy, suppression, and obstruction" of Phil made Phil suffer unfair treatment, and also made many fans cry out for him, and fans are becoming more and more extreme in the trend of huddles.

But Phil knew that such a state of affairs could not last forever.

He keeps touching the Superhero Association, and one day he will arouse the disgust of superheroes, and he must move on to the next stage as soon as possible to gain more power.

So he entered the third stage, prepared his platform as a superhero, and began to prepare for the superhero campaign.

After Phil released the news, many superheroes scoffed at it. Because Phil's qualifications are completely inadequate to run for this level.

Other superheroes often have to accumulate two to three years before they can start preparing for the superhero campaign, but Phil is obviously too fast and has not a strong foundation.

In the eyes of other superheroes, Phil has three very difficult problems to solve in order to run for superhero races, gain more support from people, and have more powerful superpowers:

First of all, no big conglomerate will provide him with campaign funds. Of course, Phil can use his own money to fund his campaign, which is relatively easy to solve.

Secondly, because Phil is not a member of the Superhero Association, he cannot give public speeches or debate in the setting where the Superhero Association is located. His name will be nominated, but this nomination is only symbolic, and it is difficult to get votes because there is no chance to play.

Finally, Phil doesn't have a very well-defined group of representatives. Minorities, transgender people, immigrants and other groups already have their own heroes, and Phil's image is incompatible with the demands of these groups. Relying only on his fans, no matter how strong his combat effectiveness is, it is nothing more than one person, one vote, and he will be eliminated after one round at most.

Therefore, most of the superheroes, and even the officials of the association that organized the superhero election event, felt that this was another performance of Philbo's eyeballs, and did not take this matter to heart at all.

But soon, they realized that they were wrong: Phil had apparently already thought about these issues.
