Time? I got about 200 years bitch
In most reincarnations that I've read before mine, the MC gets inserted and doesn't have much time before 'cannon' kicks off or all the cool shit is almost about to be stolen. However, I do believe that I've hit the motherfucking jackpot. I was inserted into the body of one James 'Jimmy' Howlett, Born in 1832. Superhuman strength. Durability, speed, agility, senses, and the mother of all healing factors. And I have 200 years to plan and master skills. Ohhh the possibilities.
How do I do this? I know in the original timeline Logan's father killed his stepfather and then Logan killed him. After that both him and his stepbrother Victor 'Sabertooth' ran away and joined the army. I think I remember Logan was 13 years old when all of that happened. If I plan this all out correctly that can still happen and both men can die, and I can inherit these farms. For those of you who don't know, Logan's stepfather was a rich farmer in Canada.
The good news is that since I took over this body at the physical age of 7, I was able to awaken the powers. The first time I extended the bone claws were painful, but since then it's been a walk in the park. It was easy to train during the day, all I had to go was go out in the field after my daily lessons. The healing factor was a huge help in keeping me from dying during this time, since a simple cut could kill a grown man. It also helped me push this body to its prime fast, without any recourse or damage.
By the time it was time for the first major event I stood about 5'0. In the comics I believe this body grew to be 5'3. I think I can push it to be taller later. Leading up to what I believe what would be the day I started to fake being sick. Things played out as they would, Victor was visiting me. Then John came to check on me, a few moments after that Thomas arrived to try and sleep with John's wife again. John and Thomas had a confrontation which ended with Thomas shooting John. However, this time, I had tinkered with the gun a few nights before. Which resulted in a mini explosion, killing one and mortally injuring the other.
This is where I start changing things, I had previously explained to Victor that we are half bothers and showed him my claws, he had already awakened his mutation and powers as well. After the falling out of both men dying on that day, Victor has remained by my side. I know in the original timeline that he got very bloodthirsty, I attribute that to the many wars and the fact that they have been on the run since they were teenagers. With a more stable foundation building years I think I can curb that shit, if not. Well, I know how to kill him.
All of those thoughts aside, it was time to plan. I had 16 years until the civil war started, I can't change much or risk alerting the timeline more that I already did, but I do have a plan on how to make a shit load of money during this time. Easiest way, making guns and cannons for the side of the Union. The war officially started in 1861 in April if I remember correctly, so I would start making the weapons in 1859. That gives me 14 years to do some preparations for that.
First things first, in approximately 3 years the California gold rush would start. I would need to get a head start on that, so I can gain more funds. I need to start purchasing land in Sierra Nevada and Northern California. That is were most of the gold was during that time. Once I squeeze all that I can out of those minds, then I will need to start buying iron mines. Luckily the bigger ones could be found in northern Minnesota.
I would build my empire on gold and iron, while also throwing in a few farms and trading enterprises along the way.
I'm not going to proclaim that I will rule the world or anything like that, no that was a fools errand. Too much competition and too many people who will try to stop me. No, instead I will rule this planet like Tony Stark almost did. Through money and wealth and necessity.
When all the important companies will be starting up, guess which clawed devil will be there willing to fork out money for their startup.
It also doesn't help that I don't know which universe I've been sent in. I know for sure this is the X-men verse, however I don't know if this will have the avengers at all. Guess that question can somewhat be answered during World War 2.
The next part of my plan will rely on a lot of farmlands. What most people don't know is that to control the world you also have to control the food supply. To do that, I would need a large, very large mass of land. I plan to buy out the former slave owners after the end of the upcoming war and then head to a south American country and buy out several thousand acres of land.

It's 1849 and the gold rush is in full swing, because of my prior knowledge on where certain mines would be and the start date of it all. I was able to use the family money to buy a large amount of land where the gold sat. This investment paid itself off in just a year. With my new earnings, I once more abused my future knowledge and bought land in northern Canada where I know diamonds lay. However, I did not start mining right away, last thing I wanted was a diamond rush. I would start mining those around the early 1900s or so.
With the diamond mines secured, I turned my eyes to the iron mines in Minnesota, those would make me more money that even the gold mines, war was current fought with cannons and muskets. Once I start making those, I could sell them to every army currently in the world.
With all of that in place, it was time to start learning how to fight. Victor and I, had skipped out on what would teach us critical fighting abilities, so I had to find other alternatives. Right now those alternatives were the Hand, the 10 rings, the monks of K'un-Lun or if I could find an Iron First that was running around earth right now that would also work.

For the time being I decided to stay away from all the shadow organizations. The year was currently 1851 and I decided to have me and Victor travel to Japan to learn some of the fighting styles there and then make our way over to China as well. We have about 10 years to do this because I want to be back in Canada once the civil war starts. Got to make that money.
Over 5 years we traveled all over Japan learning all that we could from the locals, aikido, judo and Jujitsu, and also swordsmanship. While there I started to plan where I wanted to buy land, I wasn't stupid to buy large amount of land now, no a small portion should do for now, but after world war 2 when the country was poor? I would swoop in and basically buy mountains. Maybe a castle or two as well.
Once 5 years was over in Japan, we headed over to China to learn what we could from there before Mao purged the country of all of the ancient styles. Here I had to be more careful of what I bought or what I did because I was in the territory of the 10 rings and the Hand. I wasn't even sure they existed in this universe, but I wasn't taking chances.
Once our little vacation was over in the east, it was time to head back. The U.S would be starting its civil war and I would reap all the money that I could. It was about time I started to think of what I would name my company. Right now everything was in my name, but in order for all of this to be transferred to my 'son' or 'grandson' putting it under a company would be easier.

Ok, ok, don't kill me. I swear I was writing round 2 phase 1 and then I was going to right more Jar-jar, but..but this idea popped into my head and I just had to write it. Im also trying a different style with this one. Not going to go into a lot of the details as I would with the others. going to try and keep it very overarching.
Also taking vote on pairings and what I could name the company.
Thanks for reading.
