In terms of actual actions, Phil chose to represent the lower-middle class of white people that others had always ignored. In terms of slogan, he said that he actually represented all the citizens of Hope City and even all the citizens of the United States.
Phil announced on Twitter that the Superhero Association and the superheroes who had joined the association had completely deviated from the spirit of Captain World even though they still called themselves the successors of Captain World. These superheroes were only satisfied with giving speeches, putting on a show, lying, and making money. They were actually not doing anything. That was why the crime rate in Hope City was so high.
Phil himself was the one who had truly inherited the spirit of Captain World. As long as he could obtain more support, he would definitely be able to change this rigid situation. He would make the crime rate in Hope City continue to decrease so that the superheroes would no longer be trapped in scheming and internal strife. Instead, they would unite under his leadership to recreate the glory of Captain World back then.
Phil's speech caused a heated response.
The Superhero Association only gave Phil a nominal name during the first election. They did not even allow him to give a speech at the venue. However, even so, Phil's speech on Twitter still gathered a large number of fans for him. He crushed his opponent with an absolute advantage in votes and entered the next round of the election, becoming a rising star.
It was only then that the other superheroes realized that something was wrong.
The threatened superheroes dug up Phil's dirt crazily through the television media, wanting to use these dirt to shatter the illusion that Phil had created in front of his fans.
However, what surprised them was that this move, which had worked time and time again in the past, did not work at all now.
That was because the superheroes in the past had been very perfect. As long as they dug out a piece of dirt and spread it around, they could deal a very heavy blow to him or her. Even if these superheroes were careful with their words and actions, it was impossible for them to do it flawlessly. They would always succeed if they wanted to find a bone in an egg.
There were countless scandals about Phil, including his education, his company, his promiscuous relationships, and even the fact that he wrote the script in "Successor" had been dug out.
The media controlled by these large financial groups and superheroes began to bombard Phil. They hoped to use this method to collapse his persona and completely lose the support of the people.
However, what they did not expect was that this move did not work at all.
That was because Phil did not become a superhero in a conventional way. There were countless black marks on him, including the fact that he had messed around with men and women. The people had long known about this. These black marks did not hurt him at all.
The only threat was the matter of the script in the Successor program. However, Phil denied it and said that it was the suppression and discrediting of him by the vested interests within the Superhero Association.
Both sides had their own arguments. The public could not see any solid evidence and could only choose to believe one side.
However, some large consortiums and superheroes had used the media to create fake news to attack competitors many times. These traditional television media had lost the trust of most people.
The people who supported Phil were even more certain that Phil was being destroyed and were even more determined to support him. There were even more people who joined the ranks of supporting Phil.
In fact, Phil had used his Twitter to create a special "information cocoon" effect. He locked all his supporters in an information cocoon and only understood the information that they were willing to accept and believe. Naturally, it would be beneficial in every endeavor.
Phil's supporters needed a spokesperson who could protect their interests. They yearned to recreate the glory of Captain World, reduce the crime rate, live a peaceful life, and make changes to the stagnant superhero community.
They yearned for that so much, and no one but Phil could satisfy their requests.
Of course, Phil would not really satisfy their requests. He was just lying to them. However, Phil's supporters were willing to be lied to because they were also lying to themselves.
Thus, no matter how much dirt was exposed on Phil, they would choose to believe Phil for no reason. They would only receive information that met their expectations and turn a blind eye to information that they did not want to see.
Just like that, Phil's strength became stronger. He did not even participate in the live speeches and debates as he defeated his opponents one after another.
His support rate was also rising even though the voices against Phil were getting louder and louder. He gradually entered the top ten of the superhero support rate.
Phil, who had obtained great strength, began to selectively interfere in the affairs of other superheroes. If he succeeded, he would exaggerate that he had played a major role in the operation. If he followed the association's original arrangements, it might have caused serious consequences. If he failed, he would emphasize that the association did not share the information of the operation with him and push the blame to the superheroes and the association who were carrying out the mission.
In addition, Phil had also arranged for people to dig up all sorts of dirt on his competitors. He would either use these dirt to threaten other superheroes to exchange benefits or release them anonymously to attack his opponents. On the other hand, Phil would be interpreted as his "true personality" even if he had some dirt because of his special characteristics. He was completely invincible.
According to Cui Geng's idea, the first half of the plot was for Phil to use such a series of methods and even create large-scale public safety incidents to kill hundreds of people. In the end, he replaced the strongest superhero at the moment.
However, that was obviously not the end.
In the second half of the plot, Phil might have become the number one superhero, but his position was not stable. That was because traditional interest groups and emerging superheroes wanted to pull him down. He, who was standing in a high position, faced a more serious threat than before.
In the second half of the plot, Phil used his power to eliminate dissidents, suppress new superheroes, and squeeze those superheroes to become his subordinates. He stabilized his power step by step.
Phil once again returned to the talent show 'Successor' as a mentor and cultivated his own superhero force through this show.
In the end, he successfully recruited almost all superheroes under his command. He used his special position to make money and deceive the people through various fake crime rate data.
The billions of dollars that his father had spent on him were all recovered with interest, but the lives of the people were getting worse. However, even so, the people still felt that Phil was a superhero who did not do it for fame or profit. His life was unfortunate because of other countries and the forces in the United States who were against Phil.
Just like that, Phil sat steadily on the supreme throne of superheroes. All the superheroes who had offended him in the past had been retaliated against.
However, at the end of the story, these superheroes who had been retaliated against and struggled to survive, as well as a few people who had seen through Phil's true colors, secretly joined forces and worked hard to overthrow Phil's rule.
…
In the actual creative process, Cui Geng had to add all kinds of iconic events. Phil Simmons had a symbolic event at every key point in the process of seizing the highest power of superheroes.
There would be many major fighting scenes in these events. From the robbery, murder, and pursuit of fugitives at the beginning to terrorist attacks, hijacking, and even local wars overseas. They basically covered the common battle scenes in superhero themes.
However, the truth of all these events was the opposite of traditional superhero stories. What the people knew was always the truth that had been whitewashed …
Cui Geng's story outline was relatively long. It had basically reached the upper limit of the number of words that the inspiration class could customize, which was 500,000 words.
For him, it would take a long time to write the whole story perfectly.
However, it was a buyout anyway. Boss Pei was paying, so Cui Geng did not have any worries at all. He only had to collect inspiration every day and write slowly.
He could even spend time to refine it from beginning to end after he finished writing it to ensure that every plot achieved the desired effect.
