American comics start with asking Iron Man a question.

“It’s rather unusual, but this time, I think Thor is right!” Tony Stark chimed in.

"Stark, you actually agree with me? I must have heard you right."

Thor exclaimed in a very exaggerated tone.

“That’s right, Thor. After all, even a blind cat can stumble upon a dead mouse.” Tony Stark shrugged. “Even without looking at option D, I think option B is somewhat untenable.”

"If Darkseid really was concerned about saving face, I don't think he would have waited until now."

"He personally led a large army to invade Earth but suffered a crushing defeat. If he really couldn't swallow this insult and wanted to vent his anger, why has he waited all these years?"

"Are those powerful beings who defeated him back then still on Earth? Zeus and his son, the Green Lanterns, are they still on Earth? Then why didn't they show up when fighting Steppenwolf?"

“As far as I know, Zeus and his son left Earth long ago, and I’ve never found any trace of the Green Lanterns or anything like that,” Diana interjected.

"That's exactly what I wanted to say, and I think you understand what I mean!"

"Besides, as we analyzed before, Steppenwolf acted on its own, so this shouldn't be considered 'two consecutive failures,' right?"

Chapter 450 The Key to Controlling the Multiverse Lies on Earth

Indeed.

Tony Stark's analysis has some far-fetched aspects, but it is undeniable that it also contains some truth!

"'The fundamental reason'—this question asks about the fundamental reason for Darkseid's invasion of Earth."

After a moment of contemplation, Bruce Wayne spoke directly.

“That’s right, the root cause should be a deeper reason, right?” Clark Kent agreed.

Comparing the two options, it's true that the "anti-life equation" is a more fitting description of the fundamental cause than the "face problem."

that's it.

Although there wasn't a very strong reason or any known facts to support it, everyone agreed that option D was more likely.

The next question, naturally, is who will answer this question.

The people present then engaged in a very lively discussion about this.

The reason is simple: everyone is quite interested in the "mutants" mentioned in the title.

"A mutant? Who is this?"

Thor was the first to ask out of curiosity, "Literally, is this a variant of humanity? Then are they still human?"

"From a biological perspective, whether mutants can be considered human depends on the degree of their 'mutation'," Tony Stark offered this "authoritative interpretation."

“Since they are called mutants, I think their mutation level must be much greater than that of humans. They should be considered a subspecies of humans, right?” Bruce Wayne made this guess.

"I wonder if Rogers could be considered a mutant?" Clark Kent also raised a very interesting question.

"I think... if we take it literally, Rogers definitely counts!"

Tony Stark stated unequivocally, "The super serum altered Rogers' DNA sequence, causing a genetic mutation in him!"

"Although we have not sequenced Rogers' genome, the degree of his 'mutation' is certainly beyond the conventional range."

Although it sounds strange, Captain America couldn't really say anything to refute it.

Strictly speaking, he really isn't an ordinary human being.

Or rather, he really is a subspecies of humankind.

"An interesting topic. According to the description of the question, a mutant is randomly rewarded with a mutant ability. This means that mutants are not just simple mutations. After they mutate, they generally possess some abilities that ordinary people do not have!"

Bruce Wayne also joined the discussion.

Not all genetic variations will manifest.

Not all mutations that can be manifested are positive mutations.

In fact, most mutations are not positive mutations.

"Who mutants are or to what extent they've mutated isn't important to me. What's important is that these mutants possess certain abilities!" Wonder Woman Diana focused on this point.

And it successfully drew everyone's attention.

Everyone started discussing what abilities these mutants possessed.

Some speculate that it might possess superhuman strength, the ability to sense special wavelengths, superhuman vision or hearing, or an IQ higher than Tony Stark's, and so on.

Have fun.

This is still a very worthwhile question to explore, and it can be said to be very interesting.

As for who should answer the question, after some discussion, the spot ultimately went to Captain America.

The reason is simple: Captain America is a mutant.

Logically speaking, the most suitable candidate for this question should be Bruce Wayne, since Bruce Wayne is the weakest of all.

Even if he did eventually consume the heart-shaped herb, he would still be the weakest.

Of course, this refers purely to individual combat ability, not overall strength.

However, Bruce Wayne wasn't too accepting of physical mutations, so it ultimately fell to Captain America.

Fortunately, Captain America is much more open-minded about this.

Of course, it's also possible that he is a mutant himself, which is why he "gave up on everything".

"I choose D, the Anti-Life Equation!"

Captain America's voice rang out as he addressed the large screen, giving his answer.

[Correct answer!]

The system immediately emitted this notification tone, which was consistent with everyone's analysis.

The fundamental reason for Darkseid's invasion of Earth is indeed the Anti-Life Equation.

In an instant, everyone in front of the screen became serious, and felt a heavy weight pressing on their chests, as if a stone was pressing down on them.

Such a deadly thing is actually hidden on Earth; this is definitely not a good thing.

[Congratulations to Steve Rogers for winning the Mystique ability, shapeshifting.]

Swish!

Upon hearing this system notification, Captain America immediately sensed a corresponding change occurring in his body.

A corresponding piece of information then appeared in Captain America's mind.

Captain America sorted through the relevant memories in his mind and couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

Although the ability to shapeshift sounds rather lame, it is actually a very useful ability.

"Mystique? A female mutant who can change her appearance at will?"

Diana couldn't help but speculate, "So Rogers, this so-called transformation means being able to change one's appearance?"

"That's right, that's how it is!"

As Captain America said this, he activated his shapeshifting ability with a thought.

He transformed into Diana right there in front of everyone.

The two are almost identical and indistinguishable.

"Wow, that's really an amazing ability!" Bruce Wayne exclaimed in admiration.

Captain America is not just a super soldier, but also a secret agent who needs to carry out a wide variety of missions.

Such "spy operations" as intrusion, infiltration, and capture happen every now and then, and the ability to change one's appearance at will will play a significant role.

This is a capability that every agent would dream of.

"So the system just took one of the T1000's abilities and rewarded Rogers with it?" Tony Stark said nonchalantly from the side.

It's a very good ability, but when it comes out of his mouth, it suddenly sounds low.

This is Tony Stark's unique ability: a sharp tongue.

“Stark, doesn’t T1000’s transformation have a prerequisite? He can only transform into someone he has come into contact with, but Rogers obviously doesn’t need to come into contact with the target beforehand, right?”

Thor pointed out the difference between the two with a serious expression.

Captain America simply shrugged and didn't say anything more.

[Answer complete. Answer explanation to begin!]

At that moment, the system notification sounded, attracting everyone's attention.

The corresponding analytical images then appeared on the big screen.

The first thing that appears before everyone is the "giant cocoon" shown in the footage from the previous Mother Box merger that nearly destroyed the world.

Swish!

A portal flashed by, piercing directly from the sky to the ground.

Within that dazzling pillar of light, a massive and imposing figure crashed heavily to the ground.

Without a doubt, it was Steppenwolf.

Steppenwolf walked up to a "wall" not far ahead.

But then they saw two squares embedded in the wall, their lights flashing intermittently.

"Mother box!"

Thor couldn't help but gasp.

Indeed, those two things embedded in the wall were the mother box.

So why does the mother box keep flashing?

The audience has very limited knowledge about master boxes, so they have no idea what this phenomenon actually represents.

Even someone with a brain could guess that it was definitely not a good thing.

"How is this going?"
