The Comprehensive Evolution of American Comics.

Chapter 456 Red Omega and Adamantium

"Look at my memory. I actually forgot to introduce my new invention to you."

MODOK controlled the aircraft under his butt and floated to the side of the burly man in red, like a car salesman, ready to introduce the burly man to everyone present.

However, Howard had no intention of listening to the nonsense of the enemy in front of him. He immediately aimed the machine gun on his left shoulder at MODOK and opened fire without any warning.

Tongues of flames kept spurting out from the muzzle of the gun. MODOK just smiled slightly and did not dodge the bullets. All of them hit the purple translucent shield five meters away from MODOK.

"Don't be impatient, Howard. Believe me, I'm more anxious for you to die than you are. But I still hope you can finish listening to my current masterpiece. Otherwise, how can I surpass you?"

M.O.D.O.K. snapped his fingers, and another group of AIM soldiers walked in from outside the door. Not only that...

"Wait! What are you doing David!" "What is the meaning of this!"

The crowd was in turmoil. Howard looked back and saw that several guests in suits were holding the people closest to them hostage with guns they had pulled out from somewhere. Howard knew one or two of them. He didn't expect that these people were also related to terrorist organizations.

"Can you listen to me now?" MODOK grinned and spoke in a condescending tone. When he saw that Howard did not say anything or move, he immediately understood that the other party had agreed.

"very good!"

Although MODOK wanted to hear Howard say it himself, he couldn't push him too hard at the moment. Both MODOK and Howard understood that these hostages were only useful within a very delicate range. Once MODOK crossed the minefield, Howard would never care about the life or death of these passers-by.

After all, Howard is not a real superhero. The reason why he became the Heart of Iron was just because of the requirements of his superiors to beautify the weapons, plus some personal reasons. It is impossible to ask him to make more concessions for these people.

But as long as he doesn't cross the line, Howard will still be patient and at least listen to MODOK's nonsense.

"When I first woke up in the lab, I felt like my life was ruined. After all, humans can't even tolerate mutants who are so different from themselves, so how could they allow a big-headed monster to exist?"

M.O.D.O.K. patted his chin, which looked like he was patting his belly, except that his head was too big, so he could only pat his chin.

"But then I discovered something different. Those people transformed me into a human computer. My mind is much sharper than before, and many problems that I couldn't understand before are now easily solved by me. It only took me a few minutes to realize the stupidity of AIM's original leaders, and then I slaughtered the entire leadership."

"Finally, I will firmly grasp the entirety of AIM." M.O.D.O.K extended his right hand and made a fist. "And the first invention I made after taking office is this killing machine before you."

MODOK pointed his finger at the burly man. Howard operated the helmet and ordered the intelligent AI to check the status of the falcon in the burly man's hand. The result was that the falcon should not survive, but because there was no direct contact with the target, the accuracy of the speculation should be less than 70%.

Howard didn't care about this at all. It would be better to say that he hoped that the Falcons would be able to win quickly. Being held hostage by the opponent would affect his output. There were so many business tycoons here, some of whom even Howard had to care about. It would be bad if he let them run out and spread rumors that were unfavorable to him.

Although Howard hoped M.O.D.O.K. would be ruthless and kill all the hostages, that was clearly impossible. If these people died, it would have a significant impact not only on the United States but also on the world. Even if Howard didn't want to, he would still save them if he could without endangering his own life. "I call him Red Omega," M.O.D.O.K. smiled cruelly. "I created this perfect creation after destroying six materials. Honestly, if it weren't for the pursuit of perfection, I would have succeeded with the first one."

"Those mutants are all good material, but unfortunately I want a little of this and a little of that, so in the end the only one who can survive is the red Omega in front of me."

"He has the abilities of six mutants in total." M.O.D.O.K spread his arms and declared loudly about his inhumane experiments.

"What?" Howard widened his eyes under the mask. Since the government was actually secretly researching mutants, Howard, who had also participated in these plans, also had a certain understanding of the source of mutants' power.

That is, there is a special gene in the bodies of mutants. They call this gene the X gene. This gene is not possessed by the human body. Of course, it is possible that it is possessed by humans, but it cannot be detected by humans at present.

The abilities of mutants are actually brought about by the activation of the X gene. Normally, a mutant may be born with multiple abilities, but there will be certain connections between these abilities, and it is even possible that one ability assists another, complementing each other.

However, it is almost impossible to give the ability of one mutant to another mutant. Just like type A blood cannot be used with type B blood, the mutant's X gene will also be rejected.

If the rejection is severe, mutants with other X genes will die directly, and even if they are injected into the bodies of ordinary people, the difference will not be much.

All in all, in Howard's opinion, what MODOK said was simply a fantasy, because it was the experience he accumulated from the blood of other mutants.

"I knew you wouldn't believe it." MODOK laughed. He felt that he had finally defeated Howard.

"Get the Red Omega and show that tin can what you're made of!"

The gem on MODOK's forehead flashed a strange purple light, but Howard had no time to notice because the Red Omega was already coming to kill him.

It was still the same tentacles made of unknown material that were exploring the way. After being reminded by the intelligent AI, Howard learned that it might be a metal material. Howard decided to start with these abilities that seemed to be the opponent's main means of attack.

"brush!"

A crimson energy sword extended from Howard's right arm armor. Howard raised his hand and swung the sword towards the tentacle that stretched out in front of him.

However, the result disappointed him greatly. The energy blade that could cut through iron like mud was indeed useless against this unremarkable tentacle. At this time, the intelligent AI installed in the armor also deduced the raw material of this tentacle based on the brief fight between the two sides just now.

In fact, Howard already had a rough guess in his mind without the AI's reminder. There might be a lot of metal that can block the laser knife he is holding, but there are only a few that can remain unscathed.

Howard's guess was indeed consistent with the AI's. The raw material of the other party's tentacles was...

Adamantium!
　Originally, the tentacles of Red Omega were supposed to be Carbonar alloy, but here they were enhanced to Adamantium alloy for the sake of strength and subsequent plot. However, they are still not as pure as Wolverine's.
