American comics: Starting with mutants

Ethan now knows why he almost lost control back at the military base.

In the world of energy.

into the eye.

It is slowly drawing energy from the outside world to form the great sun that now hangs high in the sky of its energy world, seemingly belonging solely to the energy world, surrounded by a black shadow.

But these are not shadows. Upon closer inspection, you will find that they are constantly flickering or even burning black flames.

Black Phoenix Flame!

The black flames surrounding his energy source seemed to be trying to merge with it, making the great sun above his energy world appear as a black sun.

It was precisely because of the Black Phoenix Flame that he almost lost control when he was at the military base.

fortunately……

He possessed and controlled the energy world formed by this cheat power. Although the black phoenix flames had turned his energy source into a black sun, he was still able to control this power instead of being controlled by it.

The zither is different.

She does not possess the Phoenix Force, but is the chosen successor of the Phoenix Force.

Moreover, the current Phoenix Force is the result of Jean's corruption, which has also led to the complete corruption of the Dark Phoenix Force.

As the saying goes, "whitewashing weakens you by three points, while turning evil strengthens you by two."

Jean couldn't control the Phoenix Force after it was cleansed, let alone the Phoenix Force after it turned evil.

What is the Phoenix Force?

It is not power, nor ability, but a rule, one of the most primordial laws of the universe.

If nothing unexpected had happened, Qin would have gradually been assimilated into the Phoenix Force by the corrupted power over time.

In fact it is.

When Ethan first saw Jean yesterday, the latter was almost devoid of emotion. If Ethan hadn't shouted quickly enough, Jean would probably have been dead by the time she realized what was happening.

And now, only one day has passed, and Qin can already smile.

Ethan wanted to be humble, saying that Jean's change had nothing to do with him.

But he couldn't do it.

Because it was indeed his achievement; his energy world was like a black hole, constantly attracting the invisible but real phoenix power that was constantly overflowing from the zither.

Simply put.

The piano's condition is very similar to its battery being about to exceed its capacity, while Ethan is like an appliance without power, able to absorb the excess power that the piano is about to have, preventing the piano from shutting down due to overload.

If Ethan remembers correctly, in the original X-Men 3 timeline, the corrupted Jean Grey directly turned Professor X to dust.

and so……

Professor X should have kowtowed to him to thank him for saving his life.

But he's a good person who never expects anything in return for doing good deeds, and Professor X is also his "former" nemesis. Plus, William Stryker hasn't been found yet, so he's too lazy to go to New York City now to have Professor X thank him for saving his life.

The most important thing.

Jean doesn't want to see Professor X, so she'd better not deal with the X-Men.

Even while trapped in the cloning facility, Ethan didn't forget to plan for his future.

In a word.

The universe is so big, he wants to go and see it.

Having already stumbled upon this incredible opportunity to travel through time, one should broaden their horizons and not waste time worrying about trivial matters on this tiny planet.

The Marvel Universe is vast, and there are countless life-bearing planets.

He wanted to go and see.

As for all the messy, trivial things on that little broken planet, let them be, it has nothing to do with him.

Of course.

Ethan had previously planned to go alone.

Now...

Ethan retrieved information about Xandar, the planet with the Nova Corps, Gladiator Planet, known as Spartacus, and Sovereign Planet, with its golden-skinned, glowing-eyed Sovereigns, from his past life's memory palace, which only he could access, and threw it into his present life's memory palace.

next second.

He seemed to see the chibi version of Qin flipping through the "Cosmic Planets" that had just been placed on the shelf in his memory palace.

Ethan smiled slightly and said to Jean in the passenger seat, "After we kill William Stryker, let's go to another planet and take a look. What happens on Earth is none of our business."

Having an 'energy world', he can achieve true physical immortality as long as he takes in energy.

Qin, who inherited the power of the phoenix, can also maintain her immortal soul.

and so……

He couldn't be bothered to stay on this broken little planet anyway, since he had absolutely no sense of belonging to Earth.

Unlike Superman.

Let me put it this way.

If Superman were like him, having just arrived on Earth and been imprisoned for so many years, it would be considered incredibly good-natured of him not toss this little broken ball away on the spot.

Ethan is the same.

He never intended to destroy this planet.

Injustice has its head, and debt has its owner.

William Stryker must die.

And they will die in an extremely cruel way.

Leaning back in the passenger seat, Jean, sensing the cosmic wonders and various alien races displayed in Ethan's mind, nodded: "Okay."

She didn't have any attachment to this little broken ball.

There were neither people nor things.

She is a zither, yet she is not a zither.

You made the choice, Professor!

The girl you raised to sacrifice and protect others, Qin, has died beneath the Akali Lake Dam.

The current Qin is the one you sealed within the fence of your heart, never seeing the light of day, unable to escape no matter how much you cried out. But she still follows that light that appears, opens her eyes, and sees a completely new Qin, free from any moral constraints.

But from the perspective of this zither player...

Ethan is her family.

and so.

"Kill Stryker, then we'll get out of here."

"it is good."

Ethan listened to Jean's reply, exchanged a glance with Jean sitting in the passenger seat, and said with a smile, "Kill Stryker, then we'll leave."

Eyes facing each other.

The two exchanged a knowing smile.

but……

Finding William Stryker is no easy task, after all, this guy only did one thing in his life.

That is, he's been fighting against mutants for most of his life. Many mutants have died at his hands, but he's still alive and well.

To put it in Qin's words.

In this timeline that merges with the Marvel universe, William Stryker was indeed at the Akali Lake Dam base. However, by the time they stormed in, William Stryker had already abandoned his mutant son and, under the cover of two Deathwomen, boarded a plane and left Akali Lake Dam ahead of time.

Yes.

Two women, like Wolverine, were injected with adamantium metal and died.

Wolverine killed one of them at the time.

But there is actually one more.

the reason is simple.

The Death Woman is also a clone!
