Marvel: Mr. President

[You can read chapters in advance, OP and GOT fic on -patreon.com/misterimmortal.]

While the world was enjoying the new economic prosperity that was coming with the stable United States and its better policies, a few companies were about to see a nose dive in their stock evaluation.

In New York, at the newly constructed Times Square, there were again a lot of giant advertisement boards, but they were much better now as most of them were made with ultra-high definition screens that were installed in a way to give a three-dimensional effect. Not only that, holographic projectors were placed around the whole street to show unique ads that would appear to be floating on the road.

It was an ordinary day in 2017. Fury had won an official election this time, creating him the real legitimate elected president. But, as Hector had promised something years ago, an announcement was to be made.

So at 12 PM in New York, at the same time, the largest ad board in New York's Times Square, London, Tokyo, Seoul, Paris, Berlin, Amsterdam, Oslo, Stockholm, Riyadh, Dubai, Canberra, New Delhi, Islamabad, Katmandu, Jakarta, Manila, Mexico City, and Brasilia changed to show large letters on a blue screen.

The words were clear and gave a straight message, not only that, but a countdown to 31 December 2020, 12:00 AM. The words read, "The Great Climate Reset. Ban on all fossil fuels as promised by Hector King Washington."

This once again reminded the people about Hector's promise when he returned to Earth and won his first election. He gave the world until 2020 to do whatever they wanted, all-natural exploitation without harming animals they could do.

He told all nations to go crazy and develop their economies with the cheapest methods they could find. Not only that, Hector himself was the king of oil and natural gas, supplying 70% of the world with it cheaply. The rest was done by Russia and China.

He had promised that the moment it's 2020, he will change the Earth's climates, resources, and exploitation effects back to what it was in the year 1700, before the industrial revolution.

By doing this, the world's air and rivers will be as clean as ever. Of course, this will be done carefully because the world in 1700 was much different. Where used to be mountains were now cities, and where used to be lakes were now towns. So all that would need to be taken care of.

But oceans will be cleaned as no plastic existed back then, nor any oil spill.

However, the news was bad for some oil companies or companies that depended on it. For example, car companies saw a drop in stocks. Meanwhile, Hector's King's Tech and Stark Industries saw a jump in evaluation because the two companies were known to be working on renewable energy sources for years now.

With this, Tony Stark, the narcissist, made a dozen more billions and became more pompous.

...

Hector was at Moran Plant to ensure that he gets elected again. After all, six years was not a very long time for a term when taking the scale of the universe into consideration.

However, there were indeed a few people that wanted to stand against him from being elected. The way UGF elected its president was not a direct election, as that would be too much of a hassle.

Instead, the universe is divided into 100 sectors, and each sector has its own micro-level leadership competition; whichever is at the top reaches the Federation Halls. In the Federation hall, these 100 leaders elect a representative.

Currently, most of the leaders were from Hector's faction itself, so there was no problem with him. But a few new ones were still coming up, occupying some popularity. However, there were many fail safes to ensure no Palpatine came into power, for example, a psych test done by none other than Galactus.

Yes, the giant being was a part of the Federation in return for a salary of one planet every three years. Hector was also able to explain to the people that Galactus is not an evil thing. He's a force of nature that cannot be diverted.

So, if Galactus ever comes to eat a planet, he will give time for evacuations to be done. The UGF also helps in the process and settles the whole civilization on a new planet.

So there was only one phase Hector had to worry about, which was the debates. The debates were done less for the leaders but more for the general public of the universe, so they would at least know the candidate who would win and their policies. Also, the voting will be done live, and results will be announced right there, so there will be transparency.

The people who nominated themselves for the Presidency should have at least ten leaders backing them. For now, only two others had gotten that support.

However, as Hector expected, the first thing the blue, big, bald-headed guy said was to accuse him. "We did not see you in the past five years. Why should you be the president when you're not accessible?"

Hector smiled and snapped his finger, creating a small sun in the palm of his hand. "Look at this. This is a Sun, as powerful as the real sun. If I were to let it go, it would explode and destroy this whole solar system. So, now you tell me, would a man who can do such things with no problem have to be present somewhere to keep himself informed?

"I see all that happens in the universe and send out appropriate people to respond to it. If there is a rebellion, the army goes. If there is political turmoil, the political negotiators go. If there is a business dispute, then a commerce expert goes.

"My job is to ensure that the Federation works like a well-oiled machine. That peace and stability will last forever. And I believe I have done that job very well... unlike you, who has swindled a hundred million credits from the development fund granted to your sector for nurturing new planets to make them habitable."

"T-This is preposterous. This is a lie!"

Hector scoffed. "I was not going to reveal all that right now, but you left me no other choice. You were going to be arrested anyway for corruption."

Hector then glanced at the other alien, a yellow one with spikes on the head and face of a lizard. "You're a good man, however. You are honest and truly hard-working for people. I would have gladly stepped down to let you be the president, but I can't do that yet as the Federation is still not stable, there are some planets that are still rebellious, and we're yet to completely absorb the Shi'ar Empire."

The yellow alien respectfully nodded and spoke. "I understand that, President Washington. If that is the case, I would like to step down from this election."

Hector nodded his head in thanks and allowed the administrators of the Federation to start the election process. It was a simple ballot election, where each Sector Leader would come and put the slate of their liking into the box. The slates were kept hidden, so nobody knew who voted for whom.

It took an hour for it to finish. Then on live telecasts across the galaxies, the votes were counted three times and then announced.

"With 100 to 0, President Washington has won and shall stay as the head of the United Galactic Federation for the coming six years."

Hector laughed at the cameras and showed off his iconic big smile. "Citizens of the Federation, thank you for putting your trust in this old man. For this, I announce a 20% discount in all East Xandar Trading Company's shops. I know you like the food there. Enjoy!"

Spoken like a true capitalist. The company was his and Ancient One's joint venture. This sale would make him the richest man in the universe manifolds.

~Haha, sometimes my genius is almost frightening.~
