"Hank McCoy, known as Beast, was one of the few mutants with advanced scientific research capabilities."

"His brain had become more developed under the effects of his mutation, giving him extraordinary creativity.

"Besides that, he possessed tremendous physical strength, and his feet had mutated as well, becoming as frightening as the legendary 'Bigfoot.'"

Although Lox had no wish to disparage these mutants, the overwhelming majority of them had squandered their gifts.

They treated their mutant abilities as gifts from heaven, making it easier for them to oppress and abuse other humans.

Robbing banks, raping women, casually harming or even slaughtering humans—these were the things mutants found easiest to do.

Their suffering was deserved. In truth, many ordinary humans did not discriminate against and reject mutants merely because of their unusual appearances.

If mutants could use reason to restrain their beastly instincts and avoid becoming slaves to their base desires, many ordinary people would still pity them.

That even included Erik Lehnsherr, Magneto. His mind was filled with mutant supremacism, and he regarded ordinary humans as worthless weeds.

He possessed the extraordinary gift of controlling magnetic fields, yet he used it only as an ability to manipulate steel.

If he could apply even the electromagnetism he had learned from middle-school textbooks, his strength would not have appeared so feeble.

Electricity and magnetism were fundamentally one. Electricity generated magnetism, and magnetism generated electricity. In theory, Erik, who controlled magnetic fields, had already grasped limitless energy.

Nuclear fusion, which humanity in the second millennium had pursued so desperately, would have been effortless in his hands.

Yet he chose to use his mutant power to lift countless cars and ships, then smash his enemies to death with that pile of scrap metal.

Whenever Lox thought about it, he did not know whether to laugh
