The original sin of mutants

"We've arrived in Red Hook." Beast Hank timely prevented the confrontation inside the fighter jet from escalating further and began the landing procedure.

The X-Men's vehicles can take off and land vertically without requiring a runway.

This stems from the tactical thinking that emerged in Europe in the 1960s in response to the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, which influenced the design of fighter jets.

To avoid runway damage that could affect fighter jet takeoffs and landings, countries such as Britain, France, and Germany developed fighter jets with vertical takeoff and landing capabilities, with the United Kingdom Harrier eventually entering service.

Combining numerous cutting-edge technologies, the jet fighter developed by the Mutants X-Men wouldn't overlook this extremely convenient feature.

It's important to know that the United Kingdom Harrier of the same era had shortcomings such as low payload and inability to fly at supersonic speeds. The Blackbird jet fighter, on the other hand, did not have these problems; in fact, its cabin capacity was comparable to that of a small passenger plane, rather than a typical fighter jet.

Without some advanced technology, this thing couldn't be made.

However, instead of appreciating or analyzing this cutting-edge technological achievement right before his eyes, Henry, sitting on the plane, suddenly thought about what he might have to face next.

As expected, the destination we landed at was a typical United States suburban town.

All the X -X-Men followed Professor X, who was in a wheelchair, off the fighter jet. Henry lagged behind, peeking out from the elevator door. Sure enough, they had come to find Jean Grey, the X- X-Men who had broken away from the group.

What If...? this is an event from the movie Dark Phoenix, then the Sun Pharma flare that previously destroyed the Endeavour space shuttle was actually the Phoenix Force from the Marvel Universe.

According to the movie's plot, Jean Grey, having absorbed the Phoenix Force, broke free from the mind lock set by Professor X.

I was reminded of my parents.

It turns out that in 1975, 8-year-old Qin was in a car accident, and he remembered his parents dying. In fact, his father was still alive, so he ran home to find his father.

Little did he know that Professor X took him in because of his father's lack of understanding, which made him unable to accept his daughter. And this was the reason why Professor X altered his memories.

From this perspective, it is clear that the plight of Mutants is more severe than that of Black people in the United States.

Black people are very likely to come from single-parent families or be orphans, and they are able to grow up safely thanks to the mutual support of their neighborhood. The kind of environment such people grow up in and the direction they develop in depends on their individual circumstances.

However, Mutants are usually not born with their mutant abilities, but rather they develop these abilities at some stage of their development due to some kind of stimulus. Because the changes are drastic and uncontrollable, the first victims are usually their family members.

Unlike Black people who have mothers or neighborhood support, the most tragic thing about Mutants is that those who reject them the most are usually their closest family members.

Therefore, the answer is self-evident: which group harbors deeper hatred—a child who was already living in Hell, or a child who was originally living in heaven but fell into Hell after awakening mutant abilities?

This is why Henry believes that Mutants are more difficult to deal with than black people, and why he doesn't want to get involved at all.

The greatest suffering for Mutants is that their birth is often accompanied by betrayal, not just discrimination. Black people at least know how to band together, but Mutants often hate each other. How can this be changed?

At this time, Jean Grey faces a triple blow. First, Professor X concealed the truth from her, making her believe she was a fox. In fact, she also has a blood father, which is, in a sense, a betrayal.

Secondly, after seeing her biological father, Qin finally remembered, with some prompting, that her mother's death was caused by her own loss of control. More painful than betrayal was the guilt of patricide.

Thirdly, he was abandoned by his father. He had originally thought that his blood relatives would bring him more love, but instead, he only received hatred and resentment. This was yet another betrayal.

Any one of those three blows could shock a young person whose values are not yet fully formed, causing them immense Mind Stone trauma, as if the world were collapsing. Let alone all three at once.

Adding to the recent crisis involving the Endeavour space shuttle, although it ended happily, Jean Grey, as the key figure in resolving the crisis, faced a life-or-death situation at the time.

Having survived such a calamity, she is currently at Mind Stone most vulnerable. Having suffered three more blows, it's fair to say that Jean Grey is at her most dangerous and most prone to losing control right now.

To truly help him, you shouldn't rely on your strength to beat him up until he can't move and then give him a good lecture.

No matter how much she says she's doing this for your own good, or gives you Reason, Jean Grey can't listen to any of that right now.

Instead, it requires those around him to spend time rebuilding trust and sincerely redeeming him; only then will there be a chance to save Qin.

Grey's soul. Henry, an outsider, has neither the right nor the right to get involved in this matter.

While using love as an excuse is cliché, it's definitely not a reason for Henry not to test whether the Kryptonian's Steel Body is superior or inferior to the Phoenix Force.

It's not that I'm scared--

Absolutely not.

As for Henry, who was summoned by Mystique, he felt like he was driving a max-level character to a newbie village, only to be told by the village bully, "Look, the GM is right there, go and beat him up!"

You're making things difficult for max-level players! Someone who's never been a top player before wants to ask someone who has: what should I do in this situation?

Without the means to deposit money or buy stocks, is there still a chance to win?

I need help urgently!

Adhering to the principle of "if I can talk nonsense, I will never take action," Henry, although he disembarked from the Blackbird, crouched down.

Hiding behind Mystique, he aroused Mystique's suspicion about who she had recruited.

Professor X did not give up on saving Jean Grey just because he was being teased on the fighter jet.

Unfortunately, his cliché of "we're family" failed to persuade the angry Phoenix.

Then Professor X sent Cyclops, Jean Grey's current boyfriend, to act as a mediator. Since the fake family route didn't work, the romantic route was genuine, and it did indeed make Jean Grey waver.

But the United States police, who are always late, suddenly arrived in three cars with sirens blaring!

Unable to bear the provocation, Phoenix used her telekinesis to overturn two police cars, seriously injuring the officers inside; only one police car survived.

A great battle ensued.

At this moment, Mystique no longer cared whether Henry had intervened or not; her entire attention was focused on the battle.

It's understandable that Cyclops didn't go all out; Storm's abilities needed to warm up; and Nightcrawler had little destructive power, as they were all defeated one by one by Jean Grey.

Even Quicksilver, the fastest speedster, couldn't withstand the effects of the Phoenix Force. He was sent rolling back at the same speed he charged towards Jean Grey, plus some extra interest, and collapsed severely injured.
