Marvel Salted Fish Kryptonian

After saying this, Henry turned around and prepared to leave, but his path was blocked by a group of Skrulls disguised as humans.

Seeing these people forming a semicircle, blocking all exits, Henry turned back dissatisfied and asked, "So, you mean you can't let me leave? Mr. Fury, do you agree with this approach?"

Black, who was singled out, looked troubled. He hadn't imagined things would turn out this way. Initially, collaborating with the Skrulls wasn't an option. He also didn't know whether to let Henry, now that his Kryptonian identity had been revealed, leave.

General Talos is a man who treats people differently based on their circumstances.

He took a humble approach to plead with Carol Danvers, whom he wanted to win over, and was almost trying to get her to do something.

But when facing an exiled Kryptonian, who was defeated by the Skrull fleet thousands of years ago, his pride in his superior civilization was unconsciously revealed.

"How about this, Kryptonian, I apologize for my previous mistake. Here's a suggestion for you: you help us fight the Kree. And I will use my disguise to lift the previous order. Is that all right?"

Hearing this, Henry laughed angrily.

Back then, Mystique of the X-Men had used favors, then threats, to raise the stakes and get me to help. He chose to compromise because he considered that if this girl was deliberately trying to do something bad, he would have to deal with it like he was dealing with it today.

But the Skrulls had already done what they had done, and they had been trying to frame them again and again. Now they were using the cleanup as leverage to force their help!

How can these two things be compared? A pistol threat is negotiable only before the trigger is pulled. Once the trigger is pulled, the position is clear; at this point, what's the difference between compromise and surrender?

"If apologies work, then the world doesn't need laws or police. If threats work, then I deserve to be threatened a second and third time. I've said this, this is not my war, don't drag me into this."

Henry whistled after he finished speaking. Katie, who was lying on the ground, immediately stood up, and the man and the tiger were about to leave.

However, the Skrulls disguised themselves as human minions and stood shoulder to shoulder, blocking Henry's way.

Just as Henry was thinking about how to break through, Nick Fury behind him said, "Henry, you don't have a car, how are you going to leave? This place is a long way from the station or the airport."

After thinking for a moment, Henry replied, "As long as I take Katie out on the street, the police will come to pick me up sooner or later. So there's no need to worry about this kind of thing.

"And if you're really short of manpower, you shouldn't waste them on me. So are they sure they want to stand here and block the way?"

With his slight height advantage, Henry glared at the Skrull before him. He seriously considered the impact that revealing his power, which could blow a head off with one punch, would have on him.

Or let the tiger bite people?

In the end, it was Nick Fury, the old black man, who stepped in to smooth things over. "Talos, tell your men to get out of the way. Let my friend go. You came here to ask for our help, not to order us around, remember?"

"No, you have no idea what crazy Kryptonians are capable of. Want me to give you some examples of what they've done? They're just a bunch of twisted beasts." General Talos stood his ground.

At this point, even Carol Danvers couldn't stand it anymore and said sternly, "Don't project your prejudice against an entire ethnic group onto one person.

"During the time Henry was with us, he was able to control his behavior and that of his pets. It was you who were the ones causing trouble.

"I can promise to help you, but why are you forcing someone who doesn't want to help? Do you want something unexpected to happen during the battle? Don't let the little bit of sympathy I just felt go down to zero."

The words of key figures carry weight. The Skrull general chose to retreat, waving his hand for his men to move aside. He muttered, "I hope you won't regret your choice today."

For Nick Fury and Carol Danvers, Henry's departure wasn't a choice between friend or foe. The war at hand wasn't about the survival of Earth; it was simply a matter of whether or not they were willing to help the Skrulls.

In this situation, who has the right to force an unrelated person to help?

Nick Fury hadn't forgotten what happened to the last black California congressman who did the same. Henry Brown was a typical soft-hearted person, and he had no ties to his family.

Oh, actually, it's not anymore. How his Kryptonian identity and the presence of Charlize Theron will change his behavior remains to be seen.

But Nick Fury knew he had to be careful not to offend the other party. He said loudly, "Henry, don't worry about your troubles.

"As soon as I'm done with my business, I'll go and solve the problems caused by these alien guests. If 'that' Director Kohler from my bureau is still alive."

As he spoke, Nick Fury glared at General Talos. His willingness to help Lieutenant Carol Danvers, including the Skrulls, didn't mean he completely trusted these green-skinned shapeshifters.

He also called Barbara over, whispered a few words in her ear, and then signaled the trainee agent to leave.

Although Barbara Morse looked regretful and felt that she was not able to keep up with the battle against the aliens, she also knew the priorities and did not act recklessly.

"Henry, let me go with you." Barbara caught up with the man and the tiger.

Chapter 365: Exposed Weakness

Henry looked at Barbara Morse who caught up with him with a strange look in his eyes.

Although he wanted to say to her, "Woman, you're slowing me down," in a literal sense, not a metaphor, Henry still didn't refuse Barbara's request to follow him.

Noticing that the Skrulls behind him had already left with Nick Fury and the others, Henry then asked, "Why did you follow? Aren't you going to help Fury?"

"Fury said that if he doesn't come back, at least one person who knows the situation should report it to the bureau. So let me leave with you."

After a moment's thought, Barbara added, "Fury doesn't completely trust the Skrulls either."

"Yeah." Henry, who was thinking about something, only replied.

"There's no need to wait for the police to come and take us away. I'll contact the S.H.I.E.L.D. branch here and have them send someone to pick us up. If we act quickly, we should be able to return to Los Angeles tomorrow."

After saying this, Barbara took out her cell phone and started making calls.

Henry didn't stop her, but just thought about the information about the Kryptonians revealed by the Skrulls.

The Kryptonians' greatest weakness had actually been publicly revealed by General Talos. However, in this universe, Krypton never exploded, so there was no kryptonite. Instead, the widely-publicized Kryptonian weakness was green sunlight.

In Henry's memories before his time travel, the DC comic book planet Barrington, with its green sun, did cause considerable trouble for Superman and Supergirl. It wasn't fatal, but in that weakened state, the Kryptonians, without help, were easily killed.

The most common source of trouble is the parallel universes of the Red Sun and the Yellow Sun, where the superheroes of each side wander around randomly. When they arrive at the other side's home turf, they become as weak as ordinary people.

So one thing is certain, that is, it is not the kryptonite itself that affects the Kryptonians, but the star-like radiation that the kryptonite can emit.

Different colors of kryptonite will have different effects on Superman. This setting can also be derived into different colors of sunlight, which will also have different effects on Kryptonians.

The most common green kryptonite can weaken Kryptonians, and can be made into weapons to harm or kill Kryptonians.

Red Kryptonite can cause a Kryptonian's personality to change dramatically, presenting a completely opposite personality. Moreover, this change may be permanent, that is, after being away from Kryptonite, the affected Kryptonian will not return to his original state.

Blue Kryptonite cancels the effects of Red Kryptonite and can also temporarily deprive Kryptonians of their superpowers.

Black Kryptonite can cause Kryptonians to split into two parts: good and evil.

Gold Kryptonite can permanently deprive Kryptonians of their superpowers, but it does not affect their offspring.

Silver Kryptonite can make Kryptonians neurotic, cause hallucinations, and accumulate various negative emotions.

Pink Kryptonite can turn Kryptonians into Gays, and some say it can cause Kryptonians to undergo direct sex change.

Platinum Kryptonite can give non-Kryptonians Kryptonian abilities.

Orange Kryptonite can give non-human animals temporary superpowers.

The above are the general types of natural kryptonite. Artificially synthesized or accidentally produced ones are not discussed here.

If starlight had the same effect on Kryptonians, then it's not hard to understand why the Skrulls called the Kryptonian fleet insane.

Because the temperament and strength of this space fleet will be affected by the environment at any time and place. Sometimes it is crazy, sometimes it is evil, and sometimes the entire fleet is covered with pink bubbles... Who wouldn't be dumbfounded when encountering such an enemy?

Furthermore, Kryptonians who are affected by Kryptonite/different stellar colors will remember the memories of the period of influence even after recovery. These memories and feelings will in turn affect the temperament of the main personality.

For example, Superman often feels regret after returning to normal for the things he did after being transformed by kryptonite.

However, for Henry, who stayed on Earth and had no plans to travel into space, there was no need to worry about stars of different colors changing his personality. Instead, he should consider how Nick Fury, who had received this information, would use it.

First, natural kryptonite exists in the core of Krypton. It's not like any random rock you pick up on the surface will affect a Kryptonian. As long as Krypton doesn't explode, no one will notice.

As for using different colored sun lamps to affect the Kryptonians, Henry felt that this possibility was not very high.

Because in DC Comics, there are only two people who master the technology to synthesize kryptonite: Brainiac, the demonic brain, and Lex Luthor, Superman's nemesis. Although more and more people have since mastered it, without Luthor's initiative, this technology would not have spread.

Batman has never publicly admitted that he can synthesize kryptonite, he only privately collects and preserves natural kryptonite. But everyone thinks he can...

If it is so difficult to artificially synthesize kryptonite, with the ability of Earthlings, is there a way to develop a solar lamp that can affect Kryptonians?

This is not a vampire. If you shine an ultraviolet light on it, you can burn it and even kill it.

There is actually no definitive answer to the question of the mechanism behind the effects of kryptonite, or the effects of stellar light on the physiology and psychology of Kryptonians.

Let's assume the manufacturing difficulty is the same as the one in the next shed. This means that for this universe to have a chance of creating a solar lamp capable of affecting Kryptonians, it would require someone at least on Mr. Fantastic's level to do so.

……

Well, I originally thought it was impossible for the universe to artificially create its own weaknesses. But the more I think about it, the more possible it seems.

Especially since it was related to Reed Richards, a genius who was good at getting into trouble. Henry felt that he should be cautious when he saw anyone approaching with a flashlight or trying to turn on the light.

Although in the movies or comics I watched before traveling through time, General Zod and his group of Kryptonians came to Earth, and the individual armor they wore seemed to be able to block solar radiation.

Only when their armor is damaged or removed will they be strengthened by the Yellow Sun.

Who knows what Krypton is like in this universe? Does the individual armor have the same capabilities? Moreover, that was nine thousand years ago, roughly the same time that Earth transitioned from the Neolithic Age to the modern era.

Another point that caught Henry's attention was that he was one of the defective people exiled from Krypton, that is, a naturally born baby.

Many people believe that Superman's strength comes from his father Jor-El breaking down Krypton's DNA library, the Creation Codex, and incorporating it into Superman's blood. However, this statement has not been officially recognized.

While American comics often rely on their own premises, none of the versions of Superman ever mention that he's powerful because he possesses the Codex of Creation. Instead, it's mentioned that Superman holds the key to reviving Krypton, though he could also choose to be the guardian of Kryptonian civilization.

In contrast, any discussion of Krypton's origins inevitably leads to the notion that it was a society steeped in class divisions, with every baby's future determined from the moment they were born.

The only one is Kal-El, who is the only Kryptonian son born naturally in ten thousand years from the union of Jor-El and his mother Laura.

Because he wasn't born under a code, there were no limitations on the direction of his abilities, and he had unlimited possibilities for all his choices. In Henry's opinion, this was the reason why Superman was so powerful.

Chapter 366: Possible hidden mines in the universe

Another piece of evidence supporting Henry's idea is, of course, the movie "The Flash." No matter how the little Flash, who has both parents, goes back in time in Flashpoint, he cannot save the supergirl Kara Zor-El who was killed by General Zod.

General Zod also retrieved the Code of Creation from Supergirl. He also mentioned that he had captured Kal-El's escape pod in space. While killing the infant, he also confirmed that the Code was not on her. This is why he pursued her to Earth.

Some people believe that Supergirl lost to General Zod in the Flashpoint world created by the Flash because she was imprisoned by the Russians for too long and did not have enough time to bask in the sun.

However, General Zod, who is also a Kryptonian, did not begin to be strengthened by the Yellow Sun when he sent a message to Earth to look for Kryptonians, according to the course of the movie "Man of Steel".

It was not until he reached the surface and began fighting that he received the radiation enhancement of the yellow sun after his armored mask was shattered by Superman and quickly adapted to it.

In other words, General Zod's baptism by the yellow sun was no longer than Supergirl's. If the codex in Kara Zor-El is so powerful, why can't it help Supergirl defeat General Zod?

A background setting that few people pay attention to is that Kara Zor-El is also a Kryptonian baby born under the control of the Code. And she belongs to the Engineer template, just like her parents and family.

Krypton's codex reproductive system, in addition to ensuring DNA advantages, certainly will not allow a musician to be born in a military family or a scientist to be born in a manager's family.

There must be a certain continuity in the family's characteristics, which can provide help in acquired education.

It is natural that Supergirl, an engineer, has a gap in combat effectiveness compared to General Zod, a Kryptonian who was born into the template of a top soldier.

This is not to mention that General Zod was promoted to the rank of general after fighting many battles. Kara Zor-El in "The Flash" was captured by the Russians when she was almost in middle school and was imprisoned in a dark laboratory for research.

The two of them have a huge gap in their levels of training and experience.

There is a gap between innate and acquired factors. If an engineer could kill a general, it would be a mockery of Krypton's long-maintained codex reproductive system.

Therefore, Supergirl's failure is inevitable, and no matter how many times the Flash goes back in time, he cannot change this ending.

However, Kal-El, who was born naturally, was captured and crushed to death by General Zod in the universe, and he had no chance to show his power.

Henry thought of himself as a flawed person on Krypton as described by General Talos.

Although he was not sure whether his origins were as the Skrull said, nor whether the characteristics of Kryptonians were as he thought, Henry did not think that he could grow up to be on par with Superman.

But if Krypton's tradition is to exile those born with defects naturally into the universe, most of these babies will be captured in the Phantom Zone surrounding Krypton.

According to the official DC setting of the Phantom Zone, the most undisputed part is that there is no concept of time in the Phantom Zone, because it is an interdimensional realm outside the normal space and time continuum.

Those imprisoned within will not die. In some settings, consciousness will stagnate; in others, consciousness can be active, and people can even move around within, but they are forced to accept the endless waste.

If Henry's idea is true, it means that Krypton has sent all the super-seeds to the Phantom Zone, a place that is more useful than a cryostat. Over the long term, how many naturally born Kryptonian babies have been captured there?

I'm afraid that Darkseid in the DC studio would rather see Krypton's army of Doomsday than Superman's army.

Of course, it is not ruled out that the phantom zone of this universe is a different matter. Once you enter it, you will die completely and there is no hope.

However, he was not 100% sure whether the difference between Kryptonian babies born legally and naturally was as Henry thought.

I can only guess that I wasn't born into a Kryptonian world according to a certain functional template. But being born like that doesn't mean I'll grow up to be another Superman. Perhaps I have some kind of DNA defect.

After all, Krypton's creation code is actually an extension of the concept of eugenics. Defects in DNA, or defects that arise during embryonic proliferation, will be eliminated by this reproductive system.

Natural production, however, avoids this elimination mechanism.

But whether or not she gave birth naturally was only relevant to her future growth. What mattered to her survival was the fact that her Kryptonian identity and weaknesses had been exposed to Nick Fury.

Fortunately, due to the long-ago past, the Skrulls only remember the madness and repetition of the Kryptonians under different stellar colors, but do not remember the changes in the Kryptonians' abilities.

This means that his many superpowers should still be a secret in front of Nick Fury, except for the Man of Steel that has already been exposed.

As long as the Skrulls still remember the Kryptonians' behavior under the yellow sun, they will also use the means of sowing discord to put themselves in the current situation of confrontation with the official organization, but they will not face it directly.

But judging by their previous performance, this group of aliens from a higher civilization were still as arrogant as ever. They actually dared to stand in front of the Kryptonians without any weapons!
