Superman Marvel Adventures

Seeing Adam's expression, the professor said, "Don't worry, this machine is not a brainwave enhancement machine. It's just a similar machine, but its abilities are not as strong. It can only lock onto one target. We created it to save Jean."

After hearing this, Adam asked, "What happened to Qin? And what about that Black Phoenix?"

As the professor operated the machine, he said, "More than a decade ago, Eric and I discovered Jean. She was a mutant with potential abilities at the Omega level. Because I was afraid that Jean's powerful abilities would harm herself or others, I used my mind to seal most of her abilities. But I didn't expect that the sealed abilities would gradually form Jean's second personality, which is Dark Phoenix."

Adam said, "So, Jean's second personality has now awakened?"

The professor nodded and said, "That's right. Because Jean was in mortal danger several times during the last Alkary Lake incident and the previous Statue of Liberty incident, her second personality was activated. We didn't notice it until the Dark Phoenix had fully awakened."

After hearing this, Adam said, "So that's why you built this machine, hoping to use your mental power to seal the Black Phoenix again?"

The professor nodded and said, "That's right, that's what I think."

Adam shook his head and said, "Haven't you heard the saying 'It's better to guide than to block'?"

The professor said, "I can't take the risk. If we fail, the entire Earth could be destroyed by the Dark Phoenix. I can sense the danger she poses."

Adam shrugged and said, "Okay, so what do we do now?"

After listening, the professor said, "Just stand here, and it's best to keep the piano still." Then he put on a hat-like device.

After hearing this, Adam went to Jean Grey's side. He felt the professor was too conservative, which had influenced the X-Men. This had led to various psychological issues among the X-Men; they feared their powers yet were forced to fight using them. Perhaps it was this strange psychological problem that caused Jean's sealed abilities to transform into her second personality. However, this was ultimately an internal matter for the X-Men, so Adam neither wanted to nor could interfere, and thus quietly stood aside watching the professor.

Shortly after the professor started the machine, Adam discovered that Jean Grey had woken up—no, she should be called the Dark Phoenix. She just stared at Adam quietly, the flames in her eyes gradually fading. Finally, she suddenly gave Adam a captivating yet tragic smile, then closed her eyes and fainted.

Adam witnessed all of this and suddenly felt a pang of sadness. He understood the Dark Phoenix's final look—a look of madness and sorrow born from a yearning for freedom that was ultimately denied. He suddenly felt that perhaps he was wrong, that he shouldn't have helped the professor, but he shook his head and banished the thought from his mind.

"Professor, how's the piano?"

The professor looked tired and his voice was weak: "It's all over now. I've sealed the Black Phoenix away for the time being. From now on, it will be up to Jean's own will to suppress her."

Adam nodded and said, "Alright, since everything's alright, I should go back now. After all, if I take Qin back like this, it might cause misunderstandings."

The professor nodded and said, "Alright, you can rest now. I'll inform Scott."

Adam nodded and left, returning to his room. But he didn't sleep well that night, because he couldn't forget the Black Phoenix's final look.

The next day, after Adam finished washing up, he left his room and went to the dining room.

At that moment, Jean walked over and whispered, "Thank you, Adam."

Adam was taken aback and said, "Huh? What?"

Jean Grey explained, "It happened last night. Although she controlled my body, I was still fully conscious and knew what she did."

Adam felt a little embarrassed after hearing this, after all, he had seen the woman's body naked earlier. He coughed a few times and said, "Oh, well, it was nothing, haha."

Jean Grey smiled slightly at Adam's expression and said, "Anyway, thank you."

Adam paused for a moment, then said, "The harp!"

Jean Grey asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Adam said very seriously, "Don't be afraid of the Dark Phoenix. She won't hurt you. I can sense her thoughts. She just longs for freedom, that's all. You shouldn't be afraid of her because she is also a part of you."

For some reason, Adam suddenly blurted these words out; perhaps it was because he had dreamt of Dark Phoenix's final gaze all night. Thinking this, he smiled slightly and left Jean Grey.

Jean Grey was taken aback by Adam's words. She hadn't expected him to say such a thing. This was different from the usual warnings from others that the Dark Phoenix was dangerous and had to be suppressed. This left Jean Grey confused.

Cyclops seemed to have overheard Adam and Jean Grey's conversation. Seeing Adam approaching, Cyclops walked up to him with a cold, poker face and said, "I heard you saw Dark Phoenix last night?"

Adam calmly replied, "That's right. Is there a problem?"

Cyclops gritted his teeth and said, "You'd better forget what you saw. Remember, Jean Grey is my girlfriend." Clearly, he had also seen Dark Phoenix and knew her personality.

Adam said calmly, "Don't worry, I'm not that thirsty!"

Cyclops scoffed and said, "That's for the best! Remember, Jean Grey loves me."

Adam frowned, somewhat annoyed, and said, "Heh, it's really pathetic that Jean likes you. You actually acted jealous when she needed your understanding the most. Humph, get out of the way, a good dog doesn't block the way!!!" After saying that, he pushed Cyclops aside and came to Logan's side.

Adam had just gotten up and stepped outside when he ran into Jean Grey, who thanked him for the Dark Phoenix incident that night. Adam chatted casually with Jean Grey for a few minutes before heading back, but was stopped by Cyclops, who had a cold, poker-faced expression. Adam pushed him aside, somewhat annoyed, and walked toward Logan.

Adam returned to Logan's side, and Logan asked, "What did Cyclops say? Did he say something like Jean is his girlfriend?"

Adam was taken aback and said, "Huh? How did you know?"

Logan laughed and said, "Haha, that's what he told me last time too. Actually, he's not a very cunning person, but he's a bit insecure. He gets anxious when he sees someone getting close to Jean."

Adam shrugged and said, "I don't care what he does, as long as he doesn't mess with me, everything will be fine."

Logan, after hearing this, said, "You seem to have a bit of a temper."

Adam was taken aback, thinking: 'I've become easily angered since that incident, perhaps it's still a lingering effect of that event.'

"Recently, a lot of people have provoked me, and I've been having some trouble controlling my emotions."

Logan asked with concern, "Are you alright?"

Adam laughed and said, "It's nothing, it'll get better in a while. Maybe it's just a side effect of breaking through my strength. By the way, when are we leaving?"

Logan replied, "It's good that you're alright. Well, we'll leave after dinner."

Sure enough, after dinner, Professor X gave everyone a wink, and then everyone except Jean Grey, who stayed behind to take care of the children, followed Professor X to his office.

Professor X looked at everyone and said, "This situation is rather special. Magneto's Brotherhood has joined forces with an unknown organization to attack the local government in Cambrian in Africa. They have established an illegal mutant nation there and have brutally murdered local residents. This matter has a very serious impact, so we need to stop them before Magneto further escalates the conflict between humans and mutants."

Adam asked, "How many people are going on this mission?"

Professor X said, "Magneto has gathered nearly a hundred Level 2 mutants and several Level 3 mutants under his command, and there is also a group of outlaws in their so-called country who serve Magneto. So we have sent a lot of people this time. Except for Jean, who stayed at the school because of her health, the rest of us went to stop Magneto."

Adam nodded without speaking. He wasn't really willing to let Jean Grey go either, since her abilities were malfunctioning under the influence of the Dark Phoenix, making it unsafe for her to go out.

Professor X continued, "This enemy is quite special. And there are many of them, so everyone must not be careless. I don't want you to come back with a few people missing."

Adam laughed and said, "Don't worry, Professor, I will protect them."

Professor X, knowing Adam's abilities, nodded and said, "Yes, thank you for your help."

Adam smiled slightly after hearing this, but remained silent. After all, most of the people present already knew his own strength and wouldn't think he was being arrogant.

Professor X continued, "Alright, that's all I have to say. You can set off now. I'll be waiting for your safe return."

Logan waved his hand after hearing this and said, "Don't worry, we will definitely let Magneto know how powerful we are."

Professor X knew Logan was somewhat unruly and sometimes preferred to act alone, so he said, "Logan, this mission is different from the past, and you know that Magneto's abilities completely counter you, so this time you must act with everyone. It's best not to act alone."

Logan nodded indifferently and said, "Alright, I'll go with them this time."

Adam laughed and said, "Don't worry, Professor, I'll keep an eye on Wolverine."

Logan was taken aback and said, "When did I get the nickname 'Wolf Uncle'?"

Adam shrugged and said, "It's always been there, didn't you know?"

Professor X, seeing the two of them start chatting idly, said, "Well, since everyone has no questions, let's set off."

Everyone nodded and left the office together. The group going to Africa consisted of professors from the university: Storm Ororo, Cyclops Scott, Beast Hank McCoy, Blue Devil Kurt, Wolverine Logan, and several mutant professors that Adam didn't recognize, including Ms. Margulies (codename Magma), Maxim (codename Speed), and Riakos (codename Reflection), among others.

Although the number of people was not large, all those present were Level 3 mutants, and they had all grown up fighting against the Brotherhood of Mutants. Therefore, these people, together with the highly skilled Adam, were fully capable of destroying the country established by Magneto.

Soon, the group arrived at the Xavier's hangar, boarded the fighter jet, and after saying goodbye to Professor X and Jean Grey, the plane quickly started up and disappeared into the sky in the blink of an eye.

On the plane, Cyclops and Storm watched the aircraft, while the rest of the passengers sat in their seats, preparing for the battle to come.

After reading it, Adam said, "Let's get to know each other's abilities first, so we can allocate our fighting strength properly when we fight later."

Logan nodded after listening and said, "Okay, I know everyone's abilities. Let me introduce them to you. After all, we trained together at school before."

After hearing this, Adam looked at the others and said, "If you don't mind."

After hearing this, Maxim said, "Don't worry, Adam, we won't mind. After all, we're comrades now."

Logan laughed after hearing this, "The one who is speaking is Speed ​​Maxim. His ability is just like his name. He is extremely fast, and he can also fire wind blades with his hands."

Maxim grinned and said, "Heh, Adam, I know you also have super speed. Maybe we can have a contest later."

Adam laughed and said, "Absolutely no problem."

Logan continued, pointing to the aloof man codenamed Reflection, and said, "He is Riakos. His ability is to absorb and reflect enemy attacks, but right now he can only reflect energy attacks. He's still a formidable figure."

Adam nodded slightly after hearing this and said, "It's a pleasure to meet you."

Liagos was a man of few words. He nodded slightly to Adam as a greeting, then closed his eyes and waited quietly for landing.

Logan shrugged and said, "Don't worry about him, that's just his temper. By the way, this beautiful lady is Margulies, codenamed Magma. Her ability is to control magma to attack."

Adam noticed that the beautiful woman was dressed rather provocatively, perhaps due to her abilities. She had modified an X-Men suit into a sleeveless top and shorts, and had flame tattoos on her hands and back. Her long orange-red hair, combined with her devilish figure, made her a true stunner.

Margulies smiled slightly and said, "Hello, Adam the Shadow. I've been hearing about your deeds for a long time, but I never expected to be working with you."

Adam smiled and said, "It's an honor to meet you, madam."

Logan continued, "This is the professor's friend, Dr. Hank McCoy. I don't know his abilities."

After hearing this, Beast Hank McCoy said calmly, "My abilities are super strength and a super brain."

Logan continued, "I think you've seen the abilities of the others, but I'm not familiar with yours, so you'll have to explain."

Adam nodded and said, "Yes, I know about Cyclops and Storm's abilities. As for my own abilities, let me briefly explain. My abilities are super speed, and I have very strong hearing and vision. My eyes can see through some objects and I can also emit heat rays. I have roughly calculated the temperature to be around 3000 degrees Celsius. I also have strong strength and defense."

Adam only briefly mentioned his abilities, but subconsciously concealed some of his true strength. Even so, this ability stunned everyone; they knew Shadow was strong, but they hadn't expected him to be this powerful.

Logan looked at the astonished crowd, shrugged, and said, "That's why I said this guy is a monster. I fought him yesterday, and he didn't even use his full speed, yet he still managed to beat me up. If he had used his full speed, I wouldn't have had time to react at all."

The others looked at Adam with an unconscious sense of awe. Adam saw this and laughed, "Alright, everyone, stop looking at me like that. The stronger we are, the easier it will be to stop Magneto's plot."

Logan smiled and said, "That's right. Although Adam is very strong, he is still my friend."

Hearing Logan say that, the atmosphere on the plane improved considerably, and then they started talking about the battle that was about to take place.

Just then, everyone heard Laser Eye's voice: "Alright, we've entered the airspace above Cambilla. Everyone, be careful."

Unbeknownst to them, the group had already arrived at their destination – Cambilla.
