Marvel: The Ultimate Superman-Chapter 229 - 228. Mobilization Begins!

----

Even though King T’Chaka of Wakanda once delivered a powerful speech at the UN Headquarters in Vienna, most of the world had dismissed Wakanda as a small, backward East African nation with little influence.

Few realized then that T’Chaka’s stance on superhumans was not his own it was prompted, even manipulated. Yet perhaps, in his mind, he believed Wakanda had the power and wisdom to guide the conversation.

Now the truth was out.

After the bombing in Vienna, the spotlight had faded. But suddenly, intelligence agencies across the world were buzzing again—focused squarely on Wakanda.

Why?

Vibranium.

Confidential emails started flooding the inboxes of every major American corporate and military interest group. Photos. Leaks. Reports. All showing Wakandan civilians using vibranium in everyday items, farming tools, clothing, and even architecture.

One photo stood out: raw vibranium ore.

That changed everything.

It confirmed what few dared hope Wakanda wasn’t just in possession of vibranium.

Wakanda was sitting on a vibranium mine.

And to the billionaires in Washington boardrooms and penthouse suites, that was like finding El Dorado and Atlantis combined.

Even more damning was testimony from a defector someone claiming to be the cousin of the late king, a man calling himself "Golden Panther." He spilled everything:

The mine was real.

Its depth? Unknown.

Its reserves? Potentially bottomless.

The moment those words hit the ears of military-industrial elites, all restraint vanished.

If oil had once justified wars, vibranium would justify an all-out mobilization.

The President barely needed convincing. The generals were already drafting scenarios. Names like Operation Liberty Dawn, Freedom’s Spring, and Vibranium Shield were tossed around, recycled from past conflicts.

But this time... the target wasn’t the Middle East.

It was Wakanda.

And this wasn’t about destabilization. It was about occupation.

In closed-door meetings, generals argued over deployment routes, air superiority, cyber warfare, and how to "minimize PR damage."

"Deploy now! No more delays!" shouted General Ross, slamming his fist on the table.

With vibranium, he could finally realize his dream: a militarized super-soldier battalion. Indestructible armor. Weapons capable of piercing alien-grade defenses. A force that could rival even Stark Tech.

Even projects long shelved due to a lack of resources were suddenly back on the table. Vibranium made the impossible... budgeted.

"We secure the mine, and every other nation will have no choice but to buy our vibranium—at our price," one general declared.

Some in the room hesitated this would mean violating a sovereign nation, drawing global ire.

But Ross cut them off.

"We’ll have a force so powerful, no country or metahuman will dare cross us. Not even Osborne’s people."

That silenced the room.

Osborn Industries had become a serious threat, with their organized superhuman units and independent resources. The elite feared they were losing control.

And some of them quietly had even tried to use the media and public sentiment against Nolan.

But now they needed something to protect them from him.

Consensus formed quickly.

Troops were deployed. Naval fleets moved from bases across the Atlantic. Aircraft carriers launched. Thousands of soldiers, armored divisions, and specialized task forces began their march.

Ross’s Iron Legion.

The experimental Immortal Battalion.

Even the ExoTech Marines were greenlit for field use.

They weren’t just coming prepared.

They were coming to conquer.

Elsewhere...

Tony Stark stood before a transparent display screen in his lab. "Is it true?" he asked.

J.A.R.V.I.S. responded calmly: "Yes. Multiple intelligence sources confirm vibranium ore has been located. Likely in large quantities. Most samples in circulation trace back to Wakanda... or Ulysses Klaue."

The screen zoomed in on satellite footage. Stark’s jaw tightened.

American aircraft carriers were moving into position.

General Ross had mobilized.

Tony’s expression darkened.

T’Challa, Black Panther, was technically neutral, but everyone knew he leaned toward Tony’s side after the Civil War fallout. And with Wakanda in danger, Tony couldn’t sit idly.

"Notify T’Challa. Immediately," he said. "And prep the armor."

He paused, rubbing his temple.

He’d sold weapons once. He understood how governments justified war.

But vibranium? This wasn’t just about weapons.

This was about power on a global scale.

Every major nation would be watching. And if America got its hands on a vibranium mine, the world would shift in days.

"This isn’t just politics anymore," Tony murmured. "This is global escalation."

Something still felt off.

The data. The reports. They had come out too fast, too complete. Someone had clearly been preparing this for a long time.

Only two parties truly understood Wakanda’s vibranium ecosystem:

The Wakandans themselves.

Klaue, who had ties to Oscorp.

Which meant only one name made sense.

"Nolan."

Tony clenched his fist.

Nolan wasn’t bound by morality or loyalty. He didn’t believe in good or evil—only survival and control.

If Nolan wanted Wakanda’s mine, not even the Avengers could stop him.

"Call the others," Tony said. "We’re going to Wakanda."

Meanwhile, in Wakanda...

T’Challa sat in the Royal Chamber, already aware.

His nation’s surveillance tech was generations beyond the rest of the Earth. His analysts had detected every shift in American satellite behavior. Every signal ping. Every encrypted burst.

They knew what was coming.

Wakanda had always stayed in the shadows. But now?

That was no longer possible.

Their isolation had become a liability.

They would stand their ground.

"I must return," T’Challa said, rising from his seat. His voice was heavy, filled with urgency.

He had bested all challengers. He had earned the mantle of king not just by blood, but by strength.

And now he had to protect his people.
