Chapter 276 Heading to Kenosha

"Max Dillon is a mutant?"

"That's why you can't find any information, Peter. The MRD has blocked information and is unwilling to include any mutants they've captured in their files."

Janet's words did not comfort Peter. He never imagined that Electro was a mutant in this universe! And a mutant who had already been captured by the MRD! This did not match any known information.

The intelligence network of the multiverse is utterly useless.

"His ability is to absorb, store, and release electrical energy, and enhance various physical attributes, especially speed, depending on how much electrical energy is stored in his body." Hank analyzed the file that MRD had temporarily sent him: "But obviously, there is a limit to how much electrical energy his body can store. He overdid it when he tried to absorb the power plant's electrical energy before, and electrocuted himself."

"If he'd electrocute himself," the captain asked, puzzled. "Then what would he be doing at the power plant?"

"For pleasure. For this guy, electrocution is similar to taking drugs. Low voltage isn't enough, and too high voltage will hurt him. He's looking for something that gives him a good feeling. Like modifying an electric eel."

Tony spoke casually, but Peter thought about it more deeply. Perhaps it was a form of persecution, but he always felt that anything related to the Super Soldier project required careful consideration.

“MRD said he was assisted in the prison break by radical mutant organizations. While many mutant organizations do do this, it is highly improbable that they found Osborn Technologies on the very night of the breakout.”

Peter first pointed out the suspicious points, and then gave his own guess: "When Osborn Technology was taking inventory, they found that one electric eel was missing, which means that it was taken away by Max. These electric eels are all experimental products of the Savage Force Project, which aims to create super soldiers."

Was this electric eel taken away simply to be sucked up by electric eels?

"You mean, Max wasn't escaped from prison, but was recruited by the Pentagon's super-soldier program. If we can use these electric eels to enhance his abilities and program his genes, he might be able to increase his maximum energy storage capacity, thus solving the problem of being overwhelmed by high-voltage electricity..."

Following Peter's line of thought that "everything is for the Super Soldier Project," Hank then raised a very crucial and unavoidable question: "But the problem is that, according to reports, these experiments have extremely strong side effects, and there is no way to guarantee that the results will be positive. Moreover, they will definitely introduce the electric eel's own genes, and it is almost impossible to solve this problem with existing technology."

Yes, it's still not possible to precisely cut gene fragments. If only we could achieve precision...

Peter suddenly paused for a moment.

Mutants, super-soldier projects, gene editing, precision harvesting...

Especially mutants...

"Gene trimmer".

Several people looked at Peter, who thought for a moment and then confirmed his idea: "Mr. Ominous's gene editing device can achieve perfect gene editing, which is a high-precision technology that even he himself can no longer produce."

The gene-editing device was created by Mr. Ominous using his decades of connections and wealth before he was first killed. It is now almost impossible to replicate because it is extremely expensive, and only Mr. Ominous knows how to make it.

There is now only one gene-editing machine left in the world, in Kenosha.

“Max Dillon is a mutant, which means he can enter Kenosha directly and unconditionally.”

The captain looked at them. Although it was just speculation, if Peter's guess was correct, then Max intended to use the gene-editing device to enhance his abilities and strength. However, an ordinary engineer certainly couldn't do that; he needed a scientist who understood this field. And when it came to having both the motive and the ability, there was no doubt it was the inventor of the gene-editing device, Mr. Ominous.

The two sides seemed to hit it off immediately and decided to go to Kenosha to get their hands on that gene editing device.

This led to a completely new problem. The captain sighed and said, "But Genosha, especially Magneto, doesn't welcome ordinary people. It's fine if only one or two people go in, but it's unlikely that all the Avengers will be able to get in."

Finally, the Avengers made their conclusion.

"So this matter needs to be handed over to the X-Men."

“We can’t leave everything to the X-Men, since the Avengers have been handling these matters. We need an Avenger to go with us so we can communicate and update information in a timely manner,” Tony immediately added, and further specified the requirements for this person.

"He should ideally have some connection with the X-Men, but not be threatening enough to arouse Magneto's suspicion, while also being able to protect himself. It would be even better if he had experience communicating with Magneto."

As soon as he finished speaking, almost everyone looked at Peter. After a moment of silence, Peter nodded in agreement.

"This is a good opportunity to avoid Gwen and Cindy. You have no idea how awkward it has been these past two days."

"Spider-Man! Over here!"

When Peter arrived at Xavier's Academy of Geniuses, the Blackbird fighter jets were already parked. To Peter's surprise, almost all of the people on this mission were newcomers.

He saw Kitty Phantom and several other new mutants boarding the plane, and the strangest thing was that the captain was actually Wolverine.

Going to Magneto's territory, with Wolverine leading the team, it's unclear whether Cyclops did it intentionally or simply didn't expect it, but in any case, he boarded the plane.

Katie was the happiest, probably because they had fought side by side. As soon as Peter came up, she went up to him and started chatting: "Cyclops said it's perfect. We need to go out and hone our skills. Besides, Magneto's place is quite safe. We don't need to worry about the enemy."

The idea that Magneto is safe is so absurd that Peter doesn't even know where to begin complaining. Perhaps that's why Logan was put in charge? Because he poses no threat to Magneto?
But speaking of Logan...

“I’m happy too, Katie. This is my first time going to a place full of mutants. Oh, and I have something to tell Logan.”

As Peter spoke, he walked over to the driver's seat and began talking to Logan.

“I recently visited the multiverse and met your children there, Logan.”

Peter hesitated for a moment, but still decided to tell Logan about the X-23. Logan was piloting the plane and heard Peter say a word.

"Children...? Not just Daken?"

"There's another girl named Laura Ginny. She's most likely being trained to be a killing machine."

Logan sighed, seemingly lost in thought.
