American Comics: From Beijing with Love, Turning In Mutants at the Start

[Marvel] [Mutants] [Stephen Chow Mashup]

In this world, Mutants usually have only two paths.

Either they are ostracized by ordinary society, or they are dragged into laboratories by secret organizations.

But Sing Sing, an agent of China's Bureau 749, wants to offer them a third path.

Medical examinations, training, employment contracts, paychecks, and official positions!

So Sing Sing arrives in America with a stack of employment contracts, offering displaced Mutants a deal no one else can match.

"Legal status, social insurance as required by law, free room and board, and allowances for special positions!"

If they can control metal, they can work on national infrastructure projects.

If they can command wind and rain, they can help relieve droughts.

Before long, the people he brings back become increasingly extraordinary.

When Magneto comes looking for his daughter with the Brotherhood in tow, ready for a fight, he finds Polaris wearing a hard hat and controlling fifty tons of steel rebar with a wave of her hand.

"Dad, stop it! I'm up for a model worker award this month!"

But when a secret organization reaches into China and tries to harm Mutants already on the payroll, Sing Sing puts away his contracts and draws his cold-iron pig-butchering knife.

"How dare you lay a hand on our people?"

As for that bald man in a wheelchair?

Sing Sing has already picked out a new position for him: Special Oversight Consultant.

Certain people who think they're well hidden have begun losing sleep.
