The Comprehensive Evolution of American Comics.

Chapter 457: The Escaped Experiment and the Fierce Battle with Red Omega
Adamantium is the world's hardest alloy material, developed by an unknown doctor at the invitation of the US government in the 20s.

The reason why it is said to be unknown is because it is a confidential matter, and even helpers of Howard's level cannot know this secret.

They are afraid that this powerful alloy will leak out, which the government does not allow. However, there is no impenetrable wall in the world. The more you worry about something, the more likely it is to happen.

During a mutant experiment that Howard knew about, the military injected the best adamantium alloy available into the body of a mutant in an attempt to create a biological weapon.

This experiment has been conducted many times, but all of them failed because the carrier could not withstand the metal poisoning caused by the adamantium alloy, or could not endure the pain of replacing body parts.

Howard learned about the appearance of a mutant with extremely strong recovery ability. It was the first time he had seen a superhuman with such strong recovery ability. After many experiments, the other party was almost determined to have immortal level recovery ability.

Until the mutant was pushed onto the experimental table, everyone thought that the experiment would be successful, but the result surprised everyone. The mutant died on the operating table beyond everyone's expectations.

When they saw the heartbeat stop, all the researchers collapsed. But even if they were not in the mood, they had to take out the injected adamantium alloy. That was a material that could not be discarded. It could be said that the lives of everyone present were important.

However, when the mutant's body was pushed into the autopsy room, the mutant suddenly revived. With the adamantium injected into his body, he gained more powerful strength. He took advantage of everyone's off guard and suddenly attacked, escaping from the laboratory as expected.

The escape of the most precious experimental subject and the most precious alloy material was an enormous blow to the government. The security director of a certain institute, unable to shoulder the responsibility, reportedly committed suicide by shooting himself the day after the experimental subject escaped.

And no one knew which spy leaked the news, but it became a well-known secret. In the few years since the experimental subject escaped, it seemed that he had been caught by more than one company, and various adamantium alloy imitations appeared in twos and threes.

Although these imitations are not as good as the real adamantium, this is not what the government wants to see. They immediately dispatched agents or troops to eliminate these forces, hoping to find the escaped experimental subjects in the base of a certain force, but without exception, they were not found.

Under the violent suppression of the authorities, some forces would not reveal the technology of adamantium alloy even if they had it, and the authorities also knew that the secret they had guarded for so long would sooner or later become a joke.

So Howard was not surprised that MODOK could produce adamantium. Second-grade adamantium alloys were everywhere in the dark, and a lot of them had already flowed out before those forces were destroyed.

Although some of it was recovered, it was just a drop in the bucket. Even Howard hid some of it in his secret room. He would study this top secret when he had nothing to do.

What shocked Howard was that the mutant in front of him could actually resist the damage of adamantium to his body. It seemed that he also had a strong recovery ability. I just don't know how he compares to the experimental subject. If he is also almost immortal, then he might suffer a lot tonight.

Moreover, Falcon changed from a muscular man to a skinny and hunched appearance. The opponent must be hiding some deliberate abilities. It is best to reduce contact with the opponent.

In a flash, Howard made up his mind, raised his palm and shot out two shock beams, which knocked away the red Omega that was rushing towards him. Then he once again aimed the machine gun on his left shoulder and the Gatling gun on his right shoulder at the red Omega lying on the ground.

"Ta-ta-ta-ta!"

The roar of the metallic storm was incessant. With such overwhelming firepower, even an armored vehicle would be ripped to shreds, let alone a single individual. Yet, Red Omega, bearing the brunt of the attack, managed to stand firm despite the hail of bullets. Howard's heart sank as he immediately manipulated the shoulder armor to open, revealing two honeycomb-like missile pods. Dozens of miniature missiles swarmed out, all targeting Red Omega.

Facing the incoming missiles, the Red Omega screamed, and a total of six tentacles burst out from his back, six on each side plus the two on his hands, a total of eight tentacles waving in the air at the same time.

In an instant, a protective net composed of alloy tentacles wrapped up the red Omega, and those powerful missiles hit the adamantium alloy but had no effect except producing smoke.

The constantly waving alloy tentacles swept away the smoke. With the support of the alloy tentacles behind it, the red Omega rushed to Howard's side like an octopus in the blink of an eye.

Howard was breathing heavily. For some reason, he felt more and more tired since then. After only a few minutes of fighting, he felt like he had run a marathon.

Facing the red Omega that was charging at him like a wild beast, Howard had to pull himself together, gathering the energy of the armor in his chest, and firing a cluster cannon straight at the red Omega's chest.

"Ahhhh!"

What made Howard terrified was that under the attack of the cluster cannon, Red Omega did not retreat at all. He used his eight tentacles to dig deep into the ceiling, walls and floors on all sides. He actually did not retreat but advanced under the push of the cluster cannon, relying on the pulling force of the alloy tentacles to pull himself towards Howard.

Howard saw that this was too much and immediately increased the power of the cluster gun. This was his chance. He could use the opponent's crazy personality to destroy the Red Omega who was facing the cluster gun head-on.

You know, the cluster gun is the most powerful firepower he has equipped. If this can't destroy Red Omega, he can only quickly find his son Tony and escape.

"Ahhh!"

The red Omega kept roaring, the armor on his chest had turned into molten iron, and there was a burning smell coming from his body. Howard, who was in a depressed mood, bit his tongue and exerted force.

"Jarvis connects the backup power source for the rocket launch!"

As Howard gave the order, the back of his armor opened to reveal two cables, which were connected to the rocket originally mounted on the armor. A large amount of energy was transmitted to the armor along the cables.

"Buzz!"

The cluster cannon on his chest suddenly became twice as thick. Howard had to deploy the jets to resist the thrust brought by the technical cannon. The red Omega was also submerged in the cluster cannon force. The thick energy column shattered the wall of the auditorium and shot straight into the sky.
