Why I do what I do

Why would some one choose a line of work that pretty much means they are taking a literal beating almost every day?  For me that's simple.  I do it because I can take that burden from some one else.

No one wants to get hit, no one wants to bleed, no one wants to deal with the trauma of broken bones.  Yet those of us that choose the life of a warrior write that blank cheque with our bodies and our minds.  Oh yeah, I forgot the constant threat of having your mind shattered by a telepath or being banished by a magic user.

These are not normal threats that people deal with in normal lives.  I'm not saying we are like soldiers, never would.  But we do extraordinary things and put our selves in harms way.

For every punch I take, for every time I bleed, for every time I have a heal an injury that's one time that some one else didn't have to.  It's the gift I have to give to others.  Even if they don't know it, even if they never know what I did.  For greater love.

Now in this new world, I have a purpose.  Not like gorgon who is training people to live after.  Not like Wright who is planning the war.  Not like Taboo and Jack who are part of the tip of the spear.  My purpose is to ensure that we have the material capacity to pull off these plans.

Wrights nano suits are great for us meta humans.  Tomai's mecha are great for dealing with ships and monsters.  Starks suits have the user interface that is able to make humans stand toe to toe with us.  Luthor has the power supply and the shields.  Von Doom has the weapons.

What do all these people lack, consistency and supply of the materials they need.  Now sure, just about any of them could do what I did.  I'm not any where near as smart as they are but in some ways that's been an advantage.

I built an empire on the notion that materials and logistics where the future.  Now it will be.

I've started down the path, first its Nth metal, that's the easy on to convince people of.  Next it's primary and secondary Vibranium.  Adamantium last since it's the least needed.

When they come, and they will come, they will have no idea what they are hitting.  They will kick a bee hive and we the earth will be heard throughout the cosmos.  They will know that we will defend ourselves.

 So here is where the vision comes in.

It's not about being the biggest, or the strongest, of the best.  It's about leveling the field and seeing who is standing at the end of the day.  So long as I draw breath, no alien will hold earth.  If I have to rip the ultimate nullifier out of Galactus' ass myself.  No sacrifice is to great, no bridge too far.

God grant them the wisdom to not test me.
