Chapter 1019: Changes in X-Men
In addition to equipment upgrades, there has been little progress in research on the genes of Dark Elf warriors.
Although Dark Elves may not look very different from humans on the surface, at least not like the bizarre aliens in science fiction movies, they are still a different species, and their genes are fundamentally different from those of humans.
As a genetic and physics professor, Dr. Banner personally partic.i.p.ated in the research on the genes of Dark Elf warriors. Over the years, in order to control the Hulk within him, Dr. Banner’s research on genetics has reached a very high level.
However, when researching the genes of Dark Elf warriors, Dr. Banner encountered many difficulties, and conventional lifeform techniques on Earth could not decipher the genes of Dark Elf warriors.
If the genes of Hulk, Spiderman, or Mutants from the X-MEN appear to mutate on the basis of ordinary humans, then the genes of Dark Elf warriors are fundamentally different.
Therefore, they could only temporarily freeze the genetic organizations of those Dark Elf warriors. Perhaps, in the future, when their technology is upgraded again, they will find a way to study them.
When Dr. Banner encountered difficulties in researching the genes of Dark Elf warriors, he also remembered Thor, the other known extraterrestrial on Earth from Asgard.
If researching the genes of Dark Elf warriors is a path filled with difficulties then perhaps they could start by studying Thor’s living body. However, after Dr. Banner proposed this suggestion, Rogers refused it in silence.
Aside from whether it is necessary to urgently study the genes of extraterrestrial beings, they cannot make such requests of Thor given his relationship with Earth. If Thor becomes angry because of this request, the next invasion of Earth may be from Asgard.
After Rogers refused, Dr. Banner also gave up on this idea. However, he did take some of Rogers’ hair to study. Dr. Banner was also very interested in this perfect superhuman gene.
Of course, besides Iron Man and SHIELD, the X-MEN have been quietly developing themselves during their period of rest and recovery.
Before the Battle of London, the X-MEN had already fought against the Mutant Brotherhood, and under Professor Charles’ arrangement, they began to search for Mutants willing to join their faction around the world.
Therefore, after the Battle of London, the X-MEN base gradually saw many Mutants from all over the world that they had never seen before.
The X-MEN base, located at the X-Academy, has been under construction lately, as it appears the academy is preparing to expand. After the Battle of London, the main X-MEN forces also suffered varying degrees of injuries.
Now, almost two weeks have pa.s.sed, and even those who were hit hard by the ether particle energy, such as Iceman, have almost fully recovered.
Huh~
The weather was nice, with the warm sunshine shining down on the gra.s.sy grounds of Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters. On one of the pathways in the lawn, Storm was slowly pushing Professor Charles Xavier as they took a leisurely stroll.
Aside from the young students already enrolled in the academy, there were also some Mutants who had come from other places during this time, willing to stand with the X-Men for peace.
If it weren’t for the recent alliance between X-Men, SHIELD, and wealthy individuals like Iron Man, it would have been quite challenging to support the sudden influx of new members. After all, Professor Xavier’s wealth had been mostly spent over the years.
“Professor, since you sent out that message, 56 Mutants have already come to us. Only five of them have a mutation level of three, which means the remaining 51 have unstable abilities,” Storm said as she pushed Charles along the pathway, updating him on the recent situation of Mutants being taken in by X-Men.
Despite the fact that the members of X-Men had high mutation levels and powerful abilities, in the Mutant community outside, most of the Mutants were at level three or below, and their abilities were not very stable.
Otherwise, society would not have been so discriminatory against them.
“I know that everyone is worried about my decision,” Charles said, squinting his eyes slightly in the warm afternoon sunshine. “Do you think that the Mutants who came to us after receiving the message have ulterior motives?”
“Exactly, besides the Mutants who were already in the academy, these newcomers might not have such pure intentions,” Storm replied, noticing Charles’ relaxed state.
“Regardless of their initial intentions, at least we have achieved our original purpose. And as long as we show them our sincerity and what we plan to do, I believe they will make the right choice.” Professor Charles held a very relaxed and optimistic att.i.tude toward Storm’s concerns.
“Well, I’m just worried that the sudden increase in people in the academy might cause some problems.” Since Professor Charles said so, Storm wouldn’t say anything more.
“Although we won’t interfere with their basic life inside the academy, the mutant gene stabilizer must be injected on time and in the correct dosage. I believe they also don’t want to cause trouble for others because of the instability of their mutant abilities.” For Mutants whose level of mutation is below level three and whose abilities are not very stable, Professor Charles will not relax this requirement.
“They all understand this and are very cooperative. After all, the mutant gene stabilizer was not cheap when they were outside.” Storm nodded and replied.
“That’s good. By the way, Iceman has been awake for several days now. He said his abilities have changed a bit. How is he doing today?” After chatting with the New Mutants, Professor Charles suddenly brought up Iceman, the only level-five Mutant currently in X-MEN.
In the London battle against the Dark Elves two weeks ago, Iceman was undoubtedly one of the highlights on the X-MEN side. Facing the leader of the Dark Elves, Malekith, Iceman dared to confront him directly and froze him up.
It was precisely because of this that when the Ether Particle energy erupted, Iceman suffered a more severe shock wave than others.
After returning to the X-MEN base after the battle ended, Iceman fell into a deep sleep and only woke up a few days ago, apparently around the same time as Tony and the others.
