X-Men: Build Mutant Nation

Marcus Cole, an urban planner in his previous life, finds himself in the dangerous back alleys of the Marvel Universe after a fatal accident. He has inherited a new body and a cosmic directive: the Mutant Nation System. This interface isn't just about individual power; it’s a civilization-building tool designed to foster a stable, thriving future for mutantkind. As Sentinels hunt and the world fears the "mutant menace," Marcus doesn't join the X-Men or the Brotherhood. Instead, he founds New Haven, a sanctuary for those the world has cast aside. Using his knowledge of infrastructure and the system’s ability to coordinate mutant powers, he must turn a group of refugees into a sovereign nation. In a world of gods and monsters, Marcus is building something even more dangerous: a future where mutants no longer have to hide. The System: Mutant Nation (MNS) Resonance Bonding: The core of Marcus's influence. He can form "Bonds" with other mutants, allowing him to share their abilities or grant them tactical buffs. As the bond grows, he gains access to a portion of their power class (Alpha, Beta, Gamma), turning him into a versatile powerhouse. Civilization Administrative Interface: A high-level management HUD that allows Marcus to plan and oversee "New Haven." It tracks population growth, resource management, and structural integrity, treating the construction of a mutant city like a high-stakes strategy game. Tactical Coordination (The Hive Mind): Through telepathic links (like the one with Sofia), the system allows Marcus to coordinate dozens of mutants to move and fight as a single, synchronized unit. This turns a disorganized group of "Morlocks" into an elite military force. Strain & Integration: Personal power comes at a cost. Using borrowed abilities generates "Strain." If Marcus pushes too hard without proper rest, the system risks physical collapse. He must carefully balance his personal development with the needs of his growing nation.
