Marvel's Death Merchant

“This is a supersonic aircraft. The most advanced aircraft ever built. You should be able to see it fly; it’s incredible,” said Hank McCoy, the top genius scientist at the CIA’s secret base, with fascination.

Hank McCoy was originally a handsome character, but after being injected with the serum, his transformed appearance was vastly different from his human form, classifying him as a Level 3 mutant. His father suffered genetic mutations after a nuclear radiation attack, resulting in Hank McCoy as his mutant offspring. His story is similar to the Hulk's, except that the gamma-ray bomb was deliberately modified by Tony Stark after receiving luxury goods from General Ross, ultimately transforming Dr. Benny into the Hulk. (Taken from the Iron Man vs. Hulk comic book storyline.)

"Hank did a good job. With your intelligence, I can consider giving you more investment. I only value talented people," Tang Tian said, looking at Hank, the most brilliant scientist in the X-Men.

"Thank you, I'll do my best." Hank said excitedly, listening to Tang Tian's words. Although he was usually quiet and focused on his research, hearing someone support his work, this genius scientist displayed the fervor expected of a scientist.

"Hank, these are the new employees I told you about. This is Hank McCoy, our most brilliant young scientist. His talent is no less than that of the scientists at Mr. Donald's company," the fat chief said with a smile, introducing them to the group.

"Great! Another mutant is here!" Charles said enthusiastically upon seeing his fellow mutant. However, his enthusiasm...

"Why isn't he saying anything?" Charles looked at Hank in front of him, then turned to the fat chief and asked.

"What are you talking about? Because you don't know," Hank said sadly.

“I’m so sorry,” Charles said apologetically, looking at Hank’s expression.

“You didn’t ask, so I didn’t say anything,” Hank said weakly, looking into the fat chief’s eyes.

"What's your mutation? Super intelligent. You could say that." Mystique, with her keen observation, noticed the crux of the problem and approached Hank, offering her advice while simultaneously breaking the awkward silence and easing the tension.

"Tell them your story!" Tang Tian commanded, looking Hank into his eyes. Hank nodded in agreement.

"Hank graduated from Harvard University at the age of 15 and was known as the third genius after Alexia and Howard Stock. That alone is enough," Hank said somewhat shyly.

"It's alright, Hank, we're all the same kind of people." Tang Tian squinted and used the power of the magnetic field to throw Hank in front of Charles.

“Sir, that was the power of a mutant…you…” Charles stared at Tang Tian’s abilities, dumbfounded.

"This magnetic field is from the same source as my power," Eric said in disbelief, sensing the familiar yet powerful magnetic field around him. He hadn't expected to encounter someone with similar abilities to himself.

"Hank, you can start introducing us now. These are all your friends, because everyone here is a mutant," Tang Tian said, looking at the people around him.

“You can prove your abilities.” Charles encouraged Hank enthusiastically upon first seeing the unfamiliar mutant.

Upon hearing Tang Tian's command, Hank glanced at Mystique beside him, then took off his shoes. Tang Tian, ​​seeing everyone else anticipating his special ability, simply shook his head, for he already knew what it meant. Hank no longer had the feet he possessed before his second mutation; they were like a monkey's feet, capable of scaling walls and leaping across rooftops.

Hank walked up to the model airplane, jumped up, and then twirled in the air like a bat, landing on the wing – a rather spectacular sight.

“You’re really good,” Mystique said sincerely as she walked up to Hank.

"Really?" Hank said, somewhat incredulously. At the same time, something inside him seemed to slowly melt away; for the first time, he felt warmth beyond the discrimination and indifference of ordinary people, and he even developed a fondness for Mystique. Tang Tian simply smiled at this scene; Mystique had performed admirably. Next, the group introduced their abilities, and he continued his conversation with Eric and Charles, quickly becoming acquainted. Tang Tian planned to tell Eric that night about his mother's survival, thus ensuring her loyalty, and that Tang Tian would help Eric, or rather Magneto, achieve his ideals.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

"The presence of American missiles in Turkey represents an unprecedented threat to the Soviet people. This morning, Soviet Foreign Minister Gromyk warned of this, but he quickly insisted that the Soviet Union would not be the first to provoke military action." Black King and White Queen watched the latest news on television.

“We’ll solve this problem as soon as we get to Russia,” the Black Emperor said to the White Queen beside him.

“Of course, unless the CIA finds us first, or Umbrella deliberately interferes,” the White Queen said confidently.

"We can't shake Umbrella Corporation with our current strength, but I can deal with the CIA first," Black King said confidently. (To be continued...)

Chapter 83 Brainwave Enhancement Machine

"If that telepathic person were to enter your mind, he wouldn't be as interesting as me," the White Queen said to the Black King, still somewhat worried.

“It’s all under my control, my dear,” the Black Emperor said with a smile, then took out a shiny black helmet from a box next to him and slowly put it on.

"The Russians made this for me," Black King said calmly as he put on the helmet. Black King himself was incredibly weak due to his telepathic abilities; his body wasn't as superhuman as Wolverine's, and he couldn't possibly survive a fatal blow. That's why he had a Russian telepathic scientist develop this helmet to prevent telepathic attacks. Of course, after its completion, Black King betrayed them, killing all the scientists.

"What am I thinking?" After putting on the helmet, the Black Emperor turned to the White Queen and asked, indicating that she could use telepathy to test the helmet's functions.

"I don't know." The White Queen activated her telepathy, but suddenly discovered that the helmet blocked telepathy, so she shook her head and said.

The Black Emperor smiled at the White Queen and said, "I think you are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in my life."

Next, the White Queen went outside the nuclear submarine to add ice to her vodka. As she passed a room, she noticed several transistors inside. That's right, this was also one of the Black Emperor's secret weapons; he regularly absorbed energy from the nuclear reactor. He had used nuclear power when he attacked Tang Tian's mech last time, although he was ultimately hunted down by Tang Tian's secret weapon.

On the other side. A secret CIA base.

“I was determined to find a way to heal myself when I was very young, and you have no idea how much I was willing to pay.” In a secluded corner, Hank recounted his experiences to Mystique.

“That’s normal,” Mystique said, looking into Hank’s eyes. She gave Hank a sweet smile and continued, “Charles never understood. He’s different, but he has nothing to hide.” Hank nodded as Mystique listened.

"The serum you're working on, Hank, won't affect your abilities, will it? It'll just normalize your appearance," Mystique continued to say to Hank.

After their conversation, the two gained a deeper understanding of each other, and just as sparks were beginning to fly between them, Magneto walked in from outside.

“That’s weird! By the way, if I looked like you, nothing would change,” Eric said to Hank and Mystique, who were currently engaged in sexual activity.

"Wait." Magneto had just come out and was about to go to the archives to retrieve Black King's information when he suddenly heard a cold voice coming from behind him.

"Is there something you need, Mr. Donald?" Magneto turned around and happened to see Tang Tian, ​​dressed in a suit, slowly walking over and looking at him. That's why Magneto asked with a puzzled expression.

“Of course. I think you need this.” Tang Tian nodded, seeing Magneto’s puzzled look. He then took out a box, shook it, and tossed it into Magneto’s hands.

Magneto opened the box he was carrying and found a file inside: "CIA File 1392, Sebastian Shaw, File Number: 118470."

"Thank you." Magneto's eyes lit up as he looked at the file, and he expressed his gratitude to Tang Tian. This was something he had wanted all along. Now that Tang Tian had retrieved it, Magneto was naturally grateful to the person who had helped him.

“You’re welcome. I understand your feelings. You need blood for revenge.” Tang Tian nodded at Magneto, speaking with understanding. Although his mother had been rescued, now was not the right time. After speaking, Tang Tian left, preparing his gene collection plan for the newly arrived mutants.

-----------------Divider-------------------------------------------------------------

“From what I know of you, I’m truly amazed that you’ve been able to persevere for so long,” Charles said to Magneto, who had just walked out.

“What do you know about me?” Magneto stopped and looked at Charles.

“All of it,” Charles said confidently. “Then get out of my head,” Magneto said coldly. Magneto was grateful and would repay those who helped him, but he generally disliked those who prevented him from taking revenge.

“I’m sorry, Eric. I saw how Shaw treated you,” Charles apologized, and slowly walked over. He continued, “I can sense your anger, and I can help you.”

“I don’t need your help. I can take my revenge myself,” Magneto said calmly to Charles, his tone somewhat cold.

“Stop lying to yourself. You needed help yesterday. You didn’t just abandon me; you have a chance to do great things here,” Charles guided him. Magneto then decided to stay and join these people in their revenge.

"Hank modified the radar into a receiver, a design intended to enhance brainwaves. This will increase your telepathic abilities, helping our department find other mutants," the CIA's chubby director explained. Of course, this modification was made by Hank to expedite the plot's development.

“What if they don’t want to be discovered?” Charles asked, puzzled.

Hank's brainwave enhancement machine resembled a hair perm, with various wires connected to a circular hemisphere. Tang Tian nodded as he looked at Hank's machine, impressed that he could manufacture such an advanced technological product in 1962, fully demonstrating his talent.

“I call it the brain. Electrodes connect Charles’s brainwaves to a receiver on the roof. When he receives a message from a mutant, he sends a signal through the relay station. Then their location is printed here,” Hank said, pointing to the machine next to him.

"You designed it," Mystique said, looking at Hank in surprise, to which he replied yes.

Charles walked directly to the middle platform, glanced at it briefly, and then put the hair-curling brainwave enhancement device on his head.

“You really are a lovely lab rat, Charles,” Magneto said to Charles with a smile.

"Don't cause me any trouble, Eric," Charles said helplessly to Magneto.

"I was once a guinea pig too," Magneto said, seemingly with a touch of melancholy.

"Okay, are you sure we can't shave your head?" Hank said, seemingly seriously.

"Don't touch my hair." Charles's face darkened slightly as he pursed his lips and said to Hank. Even if he were bald anyway, no one would say anything if someone was standing nearby.

"Alright, let's get started! We need some mutants to fight against Shaw's team," Tang Tian said calmly, looking at the others.

“Okay, let’s get started. Is Charles ready?” Hank nodded to Tang Tian, ​​indicating that we could begin immediately, and then spoke to Charles.

"Okay, we can begin now. Start up." After Charles was ready, the search for mutants began, and the first generation of X-Men started from here.

Tang Tian smiled as he watched Charles begin his search for mutants. These newly discovered mutants and their genes would become collectibles for some businessman, used to create even more powerful weapons. (To be continued...)

Chapter 84 Superpowered Special Forces

As the brainwave enhancement machine was activated, the surrounding lights quickly dimmed, leaving only the lights near Charles. The brainwave enhancement machine above his head first emitted blue light, then turned into a blinding white light, indicating that the machine had officially started.

"Whoosh... Haha..." After the brainwave enhancement machine was activated, Charles seemed extremely excited, making sounds that sounded like he was happy and excited. Charles gripped the handrail on the platform tightly. He felt like he was on a roller coaster. He knew where every mutant was on the platform. If he had to describe this feeling, it was the legendary power of a god—omniscience and omnipotence.

"It looks like we succeeded," Tang Tian said with a smile, looking at the people around him.

"Yes, Mr. Donald, we finally succeeded!" Hank shouted excitedly upon seeing the brainwave enhancement machine's success.

"Look, so many mutants! I never knew there were so many before," Hank said excitedly, pointing to the black dots on the screen in front of the brainwave machine.

"Of course, not everyone welcomes beings like us, or rather, freaks," Tang Tian said thoughtfully, listening to Hank's words.

“Not bad.” Hank nodded with deep understanding. A few minutes later, Charles removed his brainwave enhancement device and walked over. Everyone looked at Charles with excitement, because his presence had completely made the hidden group of mutants obvious.

"Charles, have you found someone who can be our new member?" Tang Tian said calmly, looking at Charles's excited expression.

"Mr. Donald, I've found a lot. There are mutants in the vicinity and a little further away. And just now, it felt amazing; I finally experienced the omniscience and omnipotence of God." Charles listened to Tang Tian's words, thought for a moment, and then told Tang Tian about the possible mutants in the vicinity and his feelings.

"Okay, Hank, list the mutants you just recorded and select the valuable ones." Tang Tian nodded to Charles and then gave the order to Hank.

“Understood, Mr. Donas.” Hank said nothing more, then took action, because Tang Tian should now be a mutant with power and influence, and he would be of great help to them.

----------------------------Divider------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Alright, Charles, I know you’re excited. But we have things to do now. We need to stop Shaw’s plot.” Tang Tian reminded Charles, seeing his excitement, though he also had another purpose: to accelerate the plot.

"Mr. Donald, it's all sorted out." Hank said earnestly to Tang Tian after finishing the task.

"We'll split up. Find those people and bring them here. The timeframe is one week. If some people don't want to come, we don't have to force them; after all, it would be a huge loss for us if they were used as a hindrance." Tang Tian was stunned when he saw the organized information, then instantly realized what he meant and said to his two best buddies, Charles and Magneto. As for that person, it was Wolverine, that good-natured guy who rescued Ichiro Yashida during World War II.

“We’re fine, Mr. Donalds.” Charles glanced at his best buddy Magneto beside him, and the two spoke in perfect unison.

"Alright, let's begin." Tang Tian finished speaking and left to carry out the operation.

"So much money, Daddy. You can watch a private solo dance now." A stripper in the nightclub slowly walked towards Charles and Magneto, her eyes shining as she looked at the thousands of dollars on the ground.

“Uh, sure.” Charles, sensing the idea of ​​this guy nicknamed Salvador Angel catching a fat sheep, frowned and said.

"Bang!" In a room, Charles and Magneto clinked glasses, and then Salvador walked over to the two men who considered themselves easy targets and said, "You know that two people will cost double."

"No need, but I believe there's a magical place where you can get more dollars if you want," Charles said calmly, looking at the cup in his hand. He then pulled a stack of three thousand dollar bills from his pocket and handed them to Salvador Angel, clearly displaying a boastful air. The money, of course, was provided by Tang Tian, ​​who was a human money-printing machine.

"How about I offer you a job where you wear work clothes?" Charles asked, offering the job after seeing that he had achieved his goal.

“Okay, I accept.” El Salvador did not perform his abilities as he did in the movies; he simply resigned and headed towards the CIA’s investigation.

"Where to, sir?" A Black taxi driver looked at the young man in a suit who got in behind him and said with surprise. He was a little puzzled because upper-class people usually didn't come here.

"CIA, at the entrance," Tang Tian said casually, glancing at the black driver. The driver's name was Darwin, a name associated with the survival of the fittest.

“I need you to take me there the whole time,” Tang Tian continued.
