Chapter 147: What is a Superhero?
What kind of people are superheroes?
At the beginning of Luo Feng's entry into the Marvel Universe, he knew that he was going to deal with the superhero group, and he had already begun to think about this problem.
It's like when Coulix poured chicken soup on Deadpool and wanted to pull him into the X-Men, he said:
"It only takes four or five moments to be a hero, it's not like everyone thinks it's a full-time job, you're a hero when you wake up, you're a hero when you brush your teeth, you're still a hero when you go to work.
For a hero, there are only four or five moments in his life that really matter, four or five moments when choices are made - making sacrifices, overcoming shortcomings, saving friends, forgiving enemies, and everything else doesn't matter, how does the world think of us......"
As Colossus said this, an impatient Deadpool shot the enemy that Colossus had intended for him to forgive.
Deadpool is a real villain, and he doesn't bother to listen to the hypocrites.
If this bowl of chicken soup is poured into Director Luo, Director Luo will arrest him and warn him that it only takes four or five moments for a hero, but superheroes are a full-time job, and if you want to work part-time, you have to ask S.H.I.E.L.D. about the disadvantage of the sword.
It may only take four or five moments for a hero to be a hero, because ordinary people will either die or become ordinary people after becoming heroes, and they will not be able to be a second hero in their lives.
But superheroes have superpowers, and it is not easy to die when they die, so they can always jump out and fight again on a later day.
Ordinary people heroes and superheroes are two concepts, but Colossus's spoiled chicken soup confuses them and steals the concept.
Most superheroes also look at their "profession" in the same way, so they only focus on those "four or five moments", and do not "wake up as a hero, brush your teeth as a hero, and go to work as a hero." ”
The aura of heroes is too heavy, and it is too tiring to demand themselves as heroes all the time, so superheroes are lazy.
Either he is a hero when he puts on a mask, and he disguises himself as an ordinary person when he takes off his mask.
Either have a clear conscience and just be yourself, regardless of the reputation of the world, anyway, in the end, mortals have to rely on him to save the world, and after the four or five moments of saving the world, he is a hero.
Without superpowers, what are superheroes?
King Haibian and his alliance of freaks?
Philanthropist, playboy, billionaire?
A billionaire who has died countless times but didn't die because of good luck?
A former commando who has committed countless murders and arsons with impunity?
Stripped of the moral aura of superheroes, in Luo Feng's opinion, this group of people is still the most suitable to use as super soldiers, so he recruited a group of superheroes to join the interstellar marines.
If you want to take risks to save people, firefighters, policemen, and soldiers are doing it, but they have to be supervised by public opinion, they have to abide by the laws and rules, they can't act recklessly, they are also sacrificing, and they are saving the world, but people will not be as tolerant to them as they are to superheroes.
Could it be that if you have superpowers, put on tights, cover your face, and act handsomely when you save people, can you get preferential treatment?
With great power comes great responsibility? It is better to say that the greater the ability, the greater the boldness, and the more presumptuous!
The so-called "superheroes" in the original Avengers, which are not bold and reckless, finally made people angry, signed the "Corsovia Act", the civil war split, and after poking a bunch of baskets, half of them became lackeys controlled by the United Nations, and the other half fled to Wakanda and hid.
They waited for Thanos to "bravely" stand up and turn over after the attack of Thanos Thanos, and after that "four or five moments" they became heroes again, and the people of the world they saved would forget the stupid things they did and continue to bow to them!
The biggest role of the title of hero is not to show how great and powerful the person who bears the title of hero is.
Creating a heroic image is often for the sake of inspiration and a kind of propaganda need.
To be a hero is also to become an idol in a sense, and he must always remind himself that he is a hero when he gets up, a hero when he brushes his teeth, and a hero when he goes to work.
The image of a hero, like an idol, needs to be managed, rather than being worshiped as a matter of course after saving the world.
Superheroes, in Luo Feng's view, are neither glorious nor selfless, but a group of people with extreme egos, wearing personalized tights is showing themselves, using abilities that mortals do not have to fight is showing themselves, fighting alone, one or several people are still showing themselves in the face of the army saving the world or showing themselves.
They are people without ego, the self-image that they crave the most deep down!
If they're just characters in the comics who scam money and make the readers self-satisfied, that's perfectly fine.
But the main god created the Marvel Universe, and ordinary people and superheroes live together, which is not the case at all.
Superheroes with extreme egos are less desirable and more terrifying.
Mortals can only tremble, praying for their protection, fearing their power, fearing that they will be influenced by the dark side of their hearts and go berserk, and turn around to kill the ant-like mortals.
Deadpool, Professor X, Captain America, Iron Man, Hulk, Thor, Red Witch, in different timelines, which one has not been blackened?
After they are blackened, the huge damage they cause to mortals is far higher than that of super criminals who fight petty.
To mortals living in the Marvel Universe, they are uncontrollable monsters, selfish lunatics, and fanatics who don't follow the rules!
Become a superhero, do whatever you want in one step, and end up as an ant if you don't become a superhero, this is the most basic worldview of the Marvel Universe.
Only by distorting this can the task of distorting the world line be completed.
To change such a worldview, it is necessary to create a new world where everyone can obtain superpowers, everyone is a superhero, and superheroes must abide by the rules, which is what Luo Feng has been working hard for.
Those so-called "superheroes" who were stuffed into the interstellar marines, Luo Feng didn't expect much from them, as long as they obeyed orders and listened to commands, they would be rewarded for their merits, and they would be punished if they had done so, and they would be punished if they had done so, and they would exchange their extraordinary strength for commissions and benefits, and it would be enough to fight for humanity like a soldier.
But the Avengers are different, this team is the first superhero team of the Marvel Universe Earth, they must play an inspiring role, manage their own image, and become a role model for all earthlings at the critical juncture of the earthlings towards the era of the universe, guide the earthlings to adapt to the upcoming changes of the times, accept their superpowers through hard work, and lay a public opinion foundation for genetic modification and martial arts practice for all people in the future.
Using LM potions for these superheroes, on the one hand, there are really no suitable props in hand, and on the other hand, Luo Feng wants to give this hero team a "first cause effect" that is most easily accepted by the public, so that people can preconceive the first impression that "superheroes" are harmless and that it is not terrible to get a superpower that destroys the world.
In the original plot, the Avengers repelled the Zetarian invasion and defeated Ultron, but they still had a mixed reputation, and there were more people who opposed them than supported them, as evidenced by the introduction of the Corsovia Act.
They even set up a mortal enemy who vowed to destroy them, and in the end this ordinary person succeeded in starting the Avengers civil war, which eventually dismantled the Avengers from within.
The original Avengers are not actively managing their own public image, and in fact they themselves have a hard time having a good public image.
A playboy billionaire who created the mustache of Ultron to create a crisis of destruction.
An alien prince.
An angry vandal who turns into a madman smashing up, and this green vandalism once smashed a neighborhood in New York.
A neurotic witch.
An AI-evolved vibranium creature.
A group of secret service agents.
How can these people make a first impression that people can emulate and learn from, and who one is worth emulating and learning from?
If you want to become Iron Man, the premise is that your father is rich, and you have to inherit your father's excellent high-IQ genes.
If you want to become an alien prince, the premise is that you are not an earthling, and your father must be Odin.
If you want to become the Hulk, you have to go berserk and kill people and set fire to the neighborhood.
If you want to become a Red Witch, you have to be lucky enough to survive the tens of thousands of dead test subjects, and you have to be a little mentally abnormal.
……
Only Captain America's first-cause effect has the effect of first impression can be inspiring, but he is out of touch with the times, suffering from loneliness, and is about to become depressed.
If there is only a group of superheroes in the world, the Avengers, then it will be enough, and the task of maintaining world peace and saving the earth will be entrusted to them, and the people will live under their protection with peace of mind.
But the Earth of the Marvel Universe is different, every day people get superpowers through all kinds of strange ways, maybe it's the awakening of the X gene, maybe it's the use of some kind of serum, maybe it's possessed by some strange power in the universe, maybe it's through hard training and the hair is gone...... Don't guess, it's Professor X.
Some of these people who have gained superpowers are countless times more powerful than the members of the Avengers, such as Mr. Fantastic and Invisible Girl's son Franklin Richards, an omega-level mutant who has awakened the X gene and has half the power of the Big Bang.
Another example is Kevin Connor, an ordinary young star who was hit by a meteor and gained superpowers, and as soon as he gained his ability, he was as powerful as a god.
is also an addict sentinel, who sneaks into a laboratory and drinks a bottle of serum and is invincible in the world.
The earth of the Marvel Universe is like a cradle for superpowers, and the abilities of the first few members of the Avengers are as fragile as babies compared to the superpowers that may appear in the future.
Although they are not the strongest, they stand at the peak of the wave of historical change at the right time, and they are the most dazzling superheroes of this era.
They are the number one superhero team on Earth, an idol to look up to, learn from and emulate by all ordinary people who will gain superpowers.
A promising nation cannot be without heroes, a promising country cannot be without pioneers, and an earth with many superpowers must have superpowers to stand up and inspire all mortals who will gain superpowers to become examples of selfless contributions to the earth and selfless contributions to all mankind like them.
So, Luo Feng painstakingly single-handedly created the Avengers Girls, a superhero idol group with a great image, and a group of beautiful girls who look only 16 years old on the outside.
A girl, a cute and pure girl who has never been in the world.
Untainted by the filthy world, believing in love, believing in goodness, the perfect creature who represents the best side of humanity.
Human beings think that they are the loveliest in character, the most beautiful in their faces, and the clearest in their hearts.
With such a team of heroes, who doesn't like it at first sight, who doesn't want to be their friend and fight side by side with them?
Who would slander them and want to be their enemies?
The delicate appearance of the maidens belies the horror of their extraordinary powers, which can crush mortals like ants.
The pure heart of the girl plugged the mouths of those who weave conspiracy theories and threat theories.
The truth of Meng is justice is because there are no black spots in cute things, and people who see cute things naturally have a bright heart, associate with beauty, and feel happy.
They are best suited as role models for a group of extraordinary strength.
If, one day, the Avenger girls created by Luo Feng suddenly turn black, unwilling to speak for justice, and want to selfishly show their dark side, then Luo Feng will launch a spell to turn them all back into ugly, old and weak prototypes, let them return to the mortal community, and declare to the public that they have died and sacrificed for mankind, and they will always live in the hearts of people and continue to inspire.
This is the price of speaking for justice, the power that Luo Feng gives them, the praise of the people's admiration for them, there is no such thing as doing whatever you want, only sacrifice and responsibility.
