American Comics: BOSS Invasion
#329 - Red Tank
There are many mutants, but only a few with famous names. After Qi Shan confirmed that this was a plane of mutant activity, he asked Alice to search for information in this area.
Of those, there's really only one with characteristics as obvious as the one before him.
"Cain Marko! The famous Juggernaut," Qi Shan said with certainty.
"Interesting, you know me, but I don't know you. If it weren't for a few missiles a few days ago, stepping out over the corpses of the Sentinel Services, perhaps we would have subconsciously ignored you."
The Juggernaut's tone was indifferent.
He was huge and reckless in battle.
People always subconsciously think of him as a muscular, simple-minded strongman, but when he's calm, his intelligence is by no means inferior to Professor X.
In fact, the Juggernaut and Professor X have a half-brother relationship.
Their parents remarried and formed a new family.
But because Professor X was smart and sensible from a young age, the Juggernaut was often beaten and scolded by his father, planting resentment in his heart.
Later, when Professor X's mutant identity was exposed, the Juggernaut hated him to the core.
He had brought people to cause trouble for the X-Men more than once, and even joined the Brotherhood and became the second-in-command.
"Is it possible?" The Juggernaut's tone was indifferent.
Qi Shan chuckled: "When did the Hellfire Club become so rash in recruiting people?"
The Juggernaut narrowed his eyes: "According to common sense, without a long period of investigation and contact testing, it is impossible to join the Hellfire Club.
Not to mention core members, even ordinary members must contribute their strength several times, solving some trivial but troublesome things for other members of the club, before receiving this precious invitation.
But today is different from the past. After the Day of Despair, the world is completely different."
"Day of Despair?"
Qi Shan raised his eyebrows slightly. In the information he had collected before, this term had appeared more than once.
But each time it was vague, carrying a kind of sorrow greater than heartbreak, concealing and never making it clear.
"You don't know?"
A trace of surprise flashed in the Juggernaut's eyes, and then he was relieved: "That's right, you don't know about this, that was 25 years ago!"
Qi Shan's appearance was young and immature. Although his aura was mature, it wouldn't make people mistake him for being underage at most.
The Juggernaut obviously regarded him as a young man under 25 years old.
Qi Shan felt depressed for a moment, but he didn't have the idea of arguing.
"25 years ago, the American government passed the Supreme Court and fully launched the Sentinel robots to hunt down mutants."
The Juggernaut said calmly: "In fact, killing mutants is just a guise. What they want to deal with are all super-powered warriors, whether they are super criminals or superheroes. As long as the government judges that they are unconventional people who can threaten security, they will be hunted down!"
"Sentinel robots can almost simulate the abilities of all X-genes. Under targeted killings, the number of mutants has plummeted!"
The Juggernaut shook his head, seemingly not wanting to continue talking.
His few words aroused a lot of Qi Shan's reverie, and many questions were answered.
The current era of Dharma's End should have been created by the American government. The war between Sentinel robots and mutants could not have achieved the current effect with just one battle.
The two sides should have fought back and forth for several years, and the American government used its huge size to forcibly suppress the mutants.
This war was very fierce, and mutants all over the world should have been affected.
The members of the Hellfire Club should not have escaped unscathed either.
However, they have resources in their hands. It's just a matter of changing a few leaders. The Hellfire Club still exists.
After the war ended, the mutants licked their wounds and recuperated, but the American government launched genetically modified food, forcibly smoothing out the big move of gene mutations.
Quietly enter the village, don't shoot.
As a result, new mutants no longer appeared, and the abilities of old mutants gradually faded, dying for various reasons.
Today, 25 years later, apart from artificial clones in research institutes, real mutants are already rare.
Qi Shan turned his head and looked at the Juggernaut for the first time.
He and Professor X are brothers without blood ties. The two cannot be said to have grown up together, but they are only a few years apart.
Now, Professor X is already old and frail, a trembling old man in his 90s.
But the Juggernaut is still muscular, with tight skin, except for a few strands of silver in his neat short hair.
It seems that there is not much change from when he was young.
Is this the power of magic?
"In that case, I don't understand even more! I suddenly appeared in Mexico, without identity or background, and not even a mutant. Why would the Hellfire Club suddenly invite me?"
"Before I saw you, my main target was Wolverine, but after seeing you, I changed my mind!"
The Juggernaut said lightly: "A person who can resist the Illusion Master, even if he is not a mutant, is definitely not an ordinary person!
Moreover, our Hellfire Club does not advocate personal force. The frontal battle with the Sentinel Services has proved that you meet our requirements. Consider it? Joining us will have many benefits!
I can even directly grant you the core title of Black Knight."
Qi Shan narrowed his eyes: "You seem to be in a hurry? Does the famous Juggernaut also have times of fear?"
The Juggernaut was silent for a moment, and a red light suddenly appeared on his body surface, seeming to soar into the sky, but in the next moment, it was forcibly suppressed by the Juggernaut.
This process was very fast, only a blink of an eye from beginning to end, but the Juggernaut seemed to have consumed a lot of physical strength, and a trace of fatigue appeared in the corner of his eyes.
Qi Shan was taken aback: "You can't suppress it anymore?"
The Juggernaut said in surprise: "You know."
Qi Shan nodded seriously.
A bitter smile appeared on the Juggernaut's resolute face.
"You guessed right, the magic has eroded 85% of my will. This irritability and anger are constantly churning in my heart, and I can't suppress it anymore!"
