Chapter 348
To be honest, Big Raven was quite confused.
After all, the sudden appearance of another version of yourself in Parallel Universe on another timeline is indeed hard to accept.
However, after so many years of torment, Big Raven's mentality was no longer ordinary. Unable to betray Su Quan, she quickly accepted these circumstances.
It's just Parallel Universe, it's not that hard to understand or accept, is it?
The only thing that bothered her was that there was another person with the same ability as her, which meant that her ability and her special skills were not unique or irreplaceable to Su Quan.
What should we do then?
Roll it up!
Little Raven on the other side was also thinking about this. How should I put it? They really are the same person; they have the same thoughts!
Let's see who Su Quan's top choice is in the same field.
Su Quan was unaware of the unspoken thoughts shared by the Little Raven, and even if he did, he wouldn't care.
Involution is unavoidable. Everyone wants to advance and stand out, but there are only so many ways to get ahead and so many positions available. What can you do if you don't compete?
The White Queen and Dotty Underwood were also involved in the Madripoor, weren't they? Do you really think the White Queen wanted Mutants subordinates just because she was lonely?
Dotty Underwood came from the Red Room, Iron Maiden Melina Vostokoff, and the second Black Widow Yelena Belova, naturally sided with Dotty Underwood.
The power of the Red Room and the influence of its Black Widow on Nato Tong are undeniable. If the White Queen doesn't want to be outdone by Dotty Underwood, besides needing Su Quan's trust and favor, what she needs most is to cultivate her own people.
You may not be Dotty Underwood, but you can't be weaker than her!
Moreover, for Su Quan, the infighting among his subordinates is a good thing, because the more they inflate their efforts, the more seriously they will take the tasks assigned to him!
PS: The previous image is a comparison picture of the two versions of Mystique.
In a room, the St. Croix Sisters stood on either side of Su Quan, who sat in a chair, watching the girl in the electric cage with great interest.
This base was mainly used by Bolivar Trask to research Big Raven, or to develop Sentinel Robot.
The Mutants imprisoned here are mostly involved in the research of the Sentinel Program. Su Quan scanned the area with his Psychic Abilities and found her to be the only Mutants.
It's unclear whether she was originally the only Mutants, or if the other Mutants had already died in the research.
The Sentinel Robot in Days of Days of Future Past, which brought about the apocalypse for Mutants, were so terrifying because they possessed the ability to change their powers and specifically counter the abilities of Mutants.
Moreover, there are numerous Sentinel Robot, and they can share abilities, perspectives, intelligence, and so on. Ordinary Mutants are completely powerless against Sentinel Robot.
The reason why Sentinel Robot are a natural counter to Mutants is mainly related to two abilities, or rather, two Mutants.
One is Mystique, whose shapeshifting ability is key to the Sentinel Robot' ability to switch powers at will.
The other one is Anna Marie, who is called Rogue Rogue in the comics.
Anna Marie can absorb the life force and abilities of others through physical contact.
In the first X-Men, she and her boyfriend were studying in their bedroom when her powers awakened. As soon as they made contact, her boyfriend was almost sucked to death and remained unconscious for several weeks before waking up.
She ran away from home and met Wolverine, then joined Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters.
Later, she was captured by Magneto, who wanted to use her abilities to operate a machine that could turn humans into Mutants, but it was ultimately destroyed by the X-Men.
In the second part, she develops feelings for the Iceman, but how can young boys and girls resist Utopia love?
In the third movie, Iceman gradually falls in love with Shadowcat. In order to win Iceman back, she accepts the antidote that can cure Mutants and gives up her power.
However, this did not salvage her relationship with Iceman. During Days of Future Past, she broke up with Iceman, was later captured by Sentinel Robot, and imprisoned at Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters for research.
At that time, Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters had already fallen into disuse.
Someone tried to rescue her, but failed, so many people thought she was dead. It wasn't until Shadowcat sent Wolverine back in time that Magneto Shadowcat Iceman risked their lives again to rescue her.
At this point, she could acquire the abilities of others, and with her help, Wolverine was able to successfully Days of Future Past.
Similarly, it was her ability that gave the Sentinel Robot the power to absorb the abilities of other Mutants, which is why the Sentinel Robot so terrifying in later stages.
Anna Marie should not have been born yet.
Returning to the present, the girl in the cage possesses some kind of mutated ability that allowed Bolivar Trask to imprison her here and allow her to survive until now.
"What's your name?" Su Quan asked, looking her over with interest.
The girl was quite beautiful, with a youthful and radiant look. Her long golden hair, combined with her anxious expression, would make any normal man feel pity for her.
"I... I'm Paige Guthrie," the girl said timidly. "You... you're not from the lab, are you? Please, can you let me out?"
Paige Guthrie—that name sounds familiar!
Su Quan pondered for a moment, searching deep into his memory. Then, under her anxious and pleading gaze, he chuckled softly.
"It's you!"
Among the vast number of Mutants, there are bound to be a few "mosts," just like the strongest Psychic Abilities, the first person people would think of is Professor X.
And Paige Guthrie is also one of the 'most'; she's the one in the X-Men who loves to 'take her clothes off' the most!
Every time she appears on stage, the first thing she does is peel off her skin.
That's right, it's not clothes, it's leather!
She has a code name called Shell, which means that her ability is to shed her outer skin and form a new skin layer underneath.
She can simulate skin as many solids, including diamond, granite, steel, wood, rubber, brick, glass, and even Adamantium.
At certain times, she can even transform into a nocturnal form!
Simply put, her ability is somewhat similar to Absorbing Man.
The Absorbing Man can transform itself into the same material simply by touching it, while she doesn't need to touch it, but she needs to shed her outer layer of ordinary skin first.
While her ability is undeniably powerful, it has certain limitations, and given that it involves her own transformations, even when simulating Adamantium, its destructive power is relatively limited.
However, in terms of weakness, through simulation, she can enhance her strength, speed, perception, and resistance.
Through "molting," she can get rid of the outer layer of trauma, but the deep wounds are still difficult to heal.
Overall, she meets Su Quan's recruitment criteria—well, mainly because of her looks!
Speaking of this, Su Quan has to complain about Magneto in X-Men 3. In the Alcatraz Island battle triggered by the antidote, what kind of ugly and deformed female Mutants did he recruit?
The guy who plays with Cisco Ramon is so unrecognizable that you can't tell his gender at first glance. Judging by his physique alone, you could barely say he has no ambition, but look at his face...
Good heavens, even men can't look like this. Seeing her, Su Quan couldn't help but marvel at the wonders of nature!
Yes, Magneto, are aloof and arrogant. Magneto, are old and no longer able to do what you want.
Yes, you believe that if you have no woman in your heart, you will naturally become a god when you draw your sword.
But you're a person who likes to be seen, you don't have to bring a few pretty faces around to please yourself and others, at the very least you can't bring her out to scare people, right?
While Su Quan was silently complaining to himself, Paige Guthrie the cage couldn't help but chime in.
What does it mean when someone says "It's you" and then falls silent?
Do you know me?
Is this understanding good or bad?
"Sir?" Paige Guthrie waited for a long time but Su Quan didn't say anything more, so she couldn't help but speak up.
Su Quan turned around, smiled, and asked her, "When were you arrested?"
"Today, they brought me here after they caught me," Paige Guthrie said hastily.
Su Quan nodded. He thought that she was probably captured because her molting ability might be helpful to the Sentinel Robot's ability to change.
In other words, before she could be experimented on after being captured, Su Quan came to rescue Big Raven.
It has to be said that girls who like to take their clothes off are indeed more likely to encounter helpful people!
PS: The picture shows the outer shell.
"Take one off and let me see!"
Take one off?
Su Quan's words froze Paige Guthrie. She glanced at the twin sisters who remained unmoved after Su Quan and felt a sense of despair.
Even if the other party can rescue me from here, it's like escaping one wolf's den only to fall into another!
But what could she do?
Anyway, it's definitely better than staying here to be studied and possibly being torn to pieces and killed at any time, right?
After mentally preparing herself for half a day, Paige Guthrie did as instructed!
Looking at Paige Guthrie, who had lowered her head and remained motionless, Su Quan said speechlessly, "That's it? What did you think I made you take off? I made you take off your skin!"
"Ah..." Paige Guthrie cried out shyly, lowering her head and hurriedly tearing at her skin.
Good heavens, the St. Croix Sisters, who had previously remained unmoved and unfazed, were completely taken aback by her brutal actions!
