American comics: Starting with mutants

Türkiye!

Not the Turkey of all, but a remote town called Turkey located near Palo Duro Canyon National Park in Texas. It covers an area of ​​only 3.24 square kilometers and has a population of only 315.

Because the people who immigrated here during the gold rush were Turkish, the town was named after Turkey.

After Ethan carried Qin through the canyon, they arrived here and were warmly received by a farming couple who were around fifty or sixty years old.

Because the area was near the canyon park, the farm owners assumed he and Qin were backpackers who enjoyed hiking through the park and didn't suspect anything else.

Having obtained the farmer's permission, Ethan was currently sitting in the farmer's study, browsing the internet for the time he needed.

It is now September 14th, 2013.

It has been a year since the Battle of New York.

Iron Man.

The Hulk.

Thor.

The hottest news on the internet right now is undoubtedly the rare phenomenon of nine planets aligning on Earth five days ago.

"Nine stars aligned..."

"This should be the timeline of Thor 2, and with the nine planets aligned, this should be the end of the Thor 2 timeline."

"So, after Thor 2's timeline is complete, what's the next timeline?"

Ethan looked at the sci-fi-like photo of the nine planets aligned on the webpage, touched his chin with one hand, and opened his long-sealed database of past life memories, quickly retrieving the relevant information from the database.

Then he got the answer he wanted.

The Hydra Rebellion.

Following the Thor 2 timeline is the Captain America 2 timeline, which is the story of Hydra's second attempt after their first failed attempt.

but……

It has nothing to do with me!

After confirming that his timeline was indeed within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Ethan reopened the search page and began searching for information about mutants.

but!

"Um?"

"no."

"How could it not be there? That shouldn't be the case."

Ethan looked at the search for mutants and was slightly taken aback when the webpage displayed some information that didn't match his search at all.

He was somewhat surprised.

Before he escaped, he thought that even though this was the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the relationship between mutants and humans in this world could not be described as irreconcilable, but it could certainly be considered one of fierce confrontation.

result……

He kept switching between "mutant" and "X-gene," but the results popping up on the webpage were all completely unrelated to what he wanted.

after awhile.

Ethan thought for a moment, then directly searched for "Cuban Missile Crisis Mutants" in the search bar.

soon.

The relevant information appeared on the webpage.

But still, he didn't see what he wanted to see.

Ethan knew very well that a similar Cuban Missile Crisis was happening in the world, and that the crisis was orchestrated by the Black King, Sebastian Shaw.

Because these related fragments exist in his memories of this life, and even Sebastian Shaw's memories before his death.

Sebastian Shaw's mutant abilities were suppressed by Professor X's mind control. Then, Magneto used a coin, right before Sebastian Shaw's eyes, to penetrate his forehead and exit through the back of his head.

But there is no trace of these things online.

This unscientific.

Either there are no mutants in the world at all, or this information has been blocked.

There is only one organization with the capability to do all of this.

SHIELD!

Homeland Strategic Defense, Attack and Logistics Agency, abbreviated as—

S.H.I.E.L.D.!

Whether it's the Avengers or the X-Men, Ethan wants to know about these people not because he wants to find out the details and then join them.

He didn't mean anything by it; he simply wanted to understand what the situation was like for mutants in this world.

Well known.

There are two different timelines for mutants.

But now, after looking at the few, if not negligible, mutant information available online, Ethan understood.

The mutants here don't belong to any particular timeline; it's a completely independent and entirely new timeline.

only……

If things were done this way, he would have no idea what the situation was with the mutants here.

Although he possesses a portion of Sebastian Shaw's memories, Sebastian Shaw's memories end with the Cuban Missile Crisis.

It has been 52 years since the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Everything has changed.

Just then.

Just after Ethan entered the study, Jean followed him in, but she had been sitting quietly by the window, seemingly lost in thought gazing at the scenery outside. She turned her head to look at Ethan, who was sitting in front of the computer.

Her voice echoed in Ethan's mind.

"I died at Akali Lake."

"……Um?"

Ethan snapped out of his reverie and frowned as he looked at Jean, who was sitting by the window and looking in his direction.

"Lake Arika?"

This must be part of the plot of X-Men 2.

But shouldn't William Stryker have been killed by Magneto at the end of X-Men 2?

and also……

If he remembers correctly, in X-Men 2, although Jean was eventually submerged by the flood, she didn't actually die.

"Dead?"

"Yes."

Qin nodded first, then suddenly shook her head with a look of confusion in her eyes: "But I feel like I'm not dead, because I have all my memories intact."

Upon hearing this, Ethan frowned slightly and continued his silent telepathic communication with the remaining channel in his mind: "What's going on?"

Clones do not experience this kind of confusion.

Even if a clone possesses information fragments extracted from the original's DNA, these are only fragments of memory, like broken pieces, and cannot form a complete memory.

The same goes for Ethan.

His memories of the Black King Sebastian Shaw in this lifetime are also fragments of memories.

For example, he knew that Sebastian Shaw, the Black King, had a private account in a Swiss bank with hundreds of millions of dollars in it.

But he didn't have the verification code for this private account.

For example, he knew that Sebastian Shaw, the Black King, kept a safe in a bank in New York City.

The safe contained a large amount of gold, US dollars, and various jewelry.

However, he also had no information about the bank, nor did he have the pre-verification code left when the safe was set up.

But what did Qin just say?

She possesses Jean Grey's complete memories.

How is that possible?
