American Comics: Multiverse of Madness.

Chapter 230 Fisk Great Lakes City
Fisk Great Lakes City was called Salt Lake City in the early years, but now it belongs to Kingpin.

The first person to rule here was Magneto. He was interested in the resources and minerals here. At that time, Magneto naively believed that these things would be the hope for the rise of the mutant population. However, it turned out that his thinking was still a bit one-sided.

In the first few years when the Brotherhood of Mutants ruled here, those lawless mutants began to retaliate and oppress local humans, which also made people's hatred for the mutant community deep.

Without ordinary people as a labor force, local production soon came to a standstill. The impact of this level of strikes was very widespread. When people would rather move away than work, Magneto's rule had already There was a backlash.

There is no way. In order to continue to maintain resource output and local development, Magneto has no choice but to establish contact with some underworld forces. He needs a large number of slaves to increase productivity, otherwise his city-state will soon enter a state of being unable to make ends meet. .

The influx of gangsters has indeed revitalized the place, but it has also challenged Magneto's power. Although they are afraid of Magneto's power and have kept their posture low, Magneto understands that he is just raising trouble.

But now, it's probably too late for Magneto to look back.

For the poor people, they have no ability to control their own destiny. The earlier measures against mutants have nothing to do with them. The laws to hunt down mutants were also set by those in power. They treat mutants. It's just fear.

Is fear still wrong?

They don't understand why they have to pay for other people's faults. Because these mutants were discriminated against before, they are now venting their anger on them. This is completely unreasonable.

Looking back at Magneto, he was also in an embarrassing state at that time. His original idea was to let the mutant race flourish, but in fact, it was only after he truly became the leader of a party that he discovered that humans and mutants coexist peacefully. importance.

Both parties should be inseparable from each other, rather than constantly creating conflicts. For this reason, he even launched a lot of policies that benefit the people, promoting that mutants should care about humans, and that both of them should be compatible with each other.

But the idea is good, but the implementation is extremely difficult. Magneto knows very well what is going on in the Brotherhood of Mutants, and those guys who have been hanging around in the dark since childhood don't know what politeness is.

Maybe they would pretend to have a good relationship with humans when Magneto was present, but once Magneto turned his head, they would twist off the heads of ordinary people in the next second.

When the rule of law is gone and everything returns to darkness, then they who have 'evolved' from human genes will believe in the law of the jungle again. Only people with big fists can make sense.

Here, countless ordinary people die at the hands of mutants almost every day. Although the false numbers are concealed when reported to Magneto, and they are also reported as accidental injuries, Magneto is not a fool. He knows that his hands What's underneath.

At that time, Magneto finally regretted it. He understood why Charles spent his life looking for a way to live in harmony with humans. At the same time, he also understood the necessity of the creation of the X-Men.

But unfortunately, it was too late. He was already too old at that time, and there were too many people eyeing his position, including young mutants and gangsters. Countless people were eyeing him at any time. It might take his life
In fact, this has already happened.

The gang boss who claimed to be the second generation Kingpin ended Magneto's rule in one fell swoop by poisoning and assassinating him when he was too old to control magnetism.

Things are unpredictable. Who would have thought that the ally whom Dr. Doom admired so much, the opponent that caused headaches for the X-Men and the Avengers, and the hero who fought for his own clan all his life would eventually die tragically on his own bed.

What’s even more ironic is that the gangster used the most common bullets to assassinate Magneto.
Maybe, this is the so-called impermanence of things, but it is worth mentioning that the death of Magneto did bring about huge changes here.Ever since the second generation King slaughtered all the diehards of Magneto and drove out the remaining mutants, the lives of ordinary people here have been much better.

Although these gangsters will also bully them, at least these people can still distinguish the difference between being beaten and losing their lives.

Kingpin renamed this place Fisk Great Lakes City and continued to expand his territory. Today, Kingpin's territory even covers the surrounding Las Vegas, Nevada, Idaho and Hammerfell City.

It stands to reason that the Red Skull and Hydra would not allow such a 'domestic country' to exist in their ruling territory, but there was no way, who asked Kingpin to give more.

Every year, the gold coin dedicated to Hydra alone accounts for two-thirds of the entire Hydra. With such a goose that can lay golden eggs, the Red Skull is naturally happy to relax and let him go. .

It can be said that in the entire west of Eagle Country, apart from the Hulk Gang, Kingpin is the most powerful existence.

Although he is just an ordinary person who is good at fighting, no one dares to ignore Jin Bin's power, let alone resist Jin Bin's rule!

".I really want to kill Kingpin in front of everyone."

Looking at the huge statue of herself made of pure gold, Ashley sighed from the bottom of her heart.

"Keep your voice down, this is Kingpin's territory. Don't get involved with us if you want to die, okay?" Pietro knocked Ashley on the head, causing her to glare.

"What are you afraid of? He is just an ordinary person. I can punch him through the chest with one punch." Ashley said angrily.

"Yes, and the next moment you will be sieved by countless bullets."

Pietro rolled his eyes and continued.

"Can I ask you to use your brain? How careless would a guy who designed to kill Magneto be before he gave you a chance to assassinate him?"

"Then we can just rush in and kill him. His trash can't stop him anyway." Ashley said angrily, while Venom also whispered to help. "That's right."

"It's just a fart, you parasite, don't lead my girl away!" Old Barton pointed at a fire hydrant angrily.

"."

Everyone suddenly fell silent, looking at Barton with helpless eyes. There was no way, old Barton's glaucoma was getting more and more serious. Now he could hardly see anything clearly, and he was almost blind.
