Chapter 390
Long ago, she accompanied the professor to visit his friend, Moira MacTaggert, who had a Mutants son whose Mutant Gene had awakened and whose powerful psychic energy began to break down his body.
The professor wanted to help him in the same way he had helped himself, but unfortunately, he was unsuccessful.
In the end Moira MacTaggert could only place it in a secret room in his research institute, trying to find a solution.
Jean Grey remembered that when she returned, the professor said that if he couldn't stop the spiritual energy from breaking down his body, he would become a pure psionic being.
PS: The image is of the Firestar.
Su Quan knew that this timeline involved Moira MacTaggert, but unlike the other timeline, Moira MacTaggert in this timeline was not a CIA agent, but a PhD in biology.
She has her own Mutants containment facility, which is one of the Mutants- friendly ones; otherwise, the professor wouldn't have become her friend.
In the movie, the professor is killed by Dark Phoenix and is forced to be resurrected using the bodies of his comatose twin brothers.
Before that, his twin brother, who was in a vegetative state, had been staying at Moira MacTaggert's research institute.
Moira MacTaggert in this timeline looks different from the Moira MacTaggert in the other timeline, and he got married much earlier.
Although they are all Moira MacTaggert, not Moira MacTaggert are the same, and there is no need to insist on one over the Moira MacTaggert.
As for Kevin_Machtag, also known as Proteus, Su Quan remembered why he had a vague recollection of him.
He appears in many lists of Omega-Level Mutant.
Moreover, there were also his files on the computers at William Stryker's base, but there were so many similar files that Su Quan didn't pay much attention to them.
As Omega-level Mutants, Proteus's abilities go beyond simply Reality Warping; to be precise, his core ability is psychic power.
In other words, Mind Stone energy!
His Mind Stone energy allows him to distort reality within a certain area by his will, enabling him to transform matter, Weather Manipulation, control gravity, strip others of their mutant abilities, and distort the laws of physics within a certain range.
As a pure psionic being, he can possess a human body and use them as a host. His abilities will increase with each host, and he can possess multiple people at the same time.
If the host is not replaced for a long time, the host will be decomposed and eventually disappear.
Using the ability to Reality Warping will also accelerate the disappearance of the host.
He must frequently change his 'host,' that is, his 'body.'
He also possesses Mind Stone abilities and Mind Stone immunity, so he is undetectable by Psychic Abilities and other monitoring devices.
He can also Dimensional Teleportation, traversing different realities.
It can Absorb Life energy!
All of these capabilities are more than enough to qualify Omega Organization.
But!
He has one very obvious weakness, which is—metal!
Metals can disrupt and disperse his energy field.
Therefore, as long as you don't get Possession him, can cope with the distorted reality, and use metal, you can defeat him relatively easily.
Of course, this is only theoretical. In reality, it depends on the strength of each individual's abilities. Just because Magneto can defeat him doesn't mean that ordinary metal can defeat him.
Similarly, Proteus can now only modify the reality within his field of vision.
In the comics, he altered the reality of a small town, granting everyone in the town the ability to make their fantasies come true.
At the peak of his power, he Reality Warping across the entire universe, directly reshaping it!
Su Quan's thoughts seemed to stretch on for a long time, but in reality, only a moment had passed.
Although the professors knew Proteus's identity, they did not know the reason or purpose for his attack on the Institute, and they also lacked the experience and ability to deal with Reality Warping.
Professor X, one of the leaders of the Mutants, is deeply hurt. He doesn't know when it started, but his powerful and invincible Psychic Abilities have become increasingly useless.
He lost to Su Quan.
They also lost to the Dark Phoenix.
Now that he's become Proteus, well, he's completely immune to Psychic Abilities, so he doesn't even need to fight; he can only sit in his wheelchair and stare helplessly!
"Bang!"
With a loud bang, the academy gate was rammed open by a roaring black jeep, and a fully armed squad rushed in, opening fire on the professor and his group from a distance.
"Bang bang bang—bang bang bang—"
The gunfire was deafening, and a hail of bullets rained down.
Colossus instantly hardened and stood in front of the professor, while Human Torch and Iceman prepared themselves, and Shadowcat was ready to dive underground at any moment...
Storm and Jean Grey positioned themselves on either side, preparing for the main attack.
Petra lowered her hands, preparing to pull herself up to block the bullets.
"Call out--"
A bright blue flash appeared, Nightcrawler appeared before the group, triumphantly opening her palm, causing bullets to scatter and fall to the ground.
She caught all the bullets.
At the same time, the squad that rushed over collapsed to the ground in unison, unconscious.
This wasn't done by the Nightcrawler, but by the professor, who was unwilling to be relegated to a supporting role, using his Psychic Abilities to put them into a deep sleep.
If you can't deal with Proteus, can't you at least deal with these grunts?
The Nightcrawler glanced at the professor and pursed her lips.
The only soldier still standing opposite showed no panic on his face; in fact, a faint sneer even graced his lips.
"Kevin, what do you want to do?" The professor emerged from behind Colossus, frowning as he asked.
Proteus sneered and said sarcastically, "I didn't expect to be recognized so quickly. How did you recognize me?"
"Never mind, it doesn't matter anymore. I never intended to hide my identity anyway."
"Charles Xavier, Professor X ... Ha, you know what I'm trying to do! You haven't forgotten how you treated me back then, have you?"
The professor said in a deep voice, "Back then? I was trying to help you. Only by constantly breaking up your energy field with metal could I prevent your body from being decomposed by spiritual energy."
"I'm saving you!"
"Save me? You and she trapped me in the experimental chamber, subjecting me to constant torture. Do you know how painful that was?"
"I can neither live nor die. No matter how much I begged, she cruelly... no, she coldly rejected me and continued to torment me..."
Proteus stared coldly at the professor with hatred in his eyes, and said with a crazed expression, "I swore that as long as I get out of this damned experimental chamber, I will kill you all!"
"Now, it's your turn."
The professor's face changed drastically, and he asked incredulously, "You, what do you mean? Mora, she... she..."
"She has already paid the price for her sins," Proteus said coldly. "Just a few days ago, the research institute experienced an unexpected power outage, and I seized the opportunity to completely abandon my body and escape from hell."
"Then... I killed her!"
"No!!!"
The professor cried out in anguish, "You shouldn't have done that! She's your mother!!! She was just trying to help you! She was just... trying to save you!"
Proteus: "Trying to save me through torture? Humph, if torture is salvation, then I'll save you properly!"
"Your mind has been clouded; you can no longer distinguish between good and bad, Kevin... You will regret this. Don't let yourself make one mistake after another!"
PS: The picture shows a lifeguard.
"If revenge is wrong, I'm willing to be wrong to the very end!"
Proteus coldly, activated his psionic energy to Reality Warping, and directly transformed the professor's wheelchair into a giant python that would devour anyone it wanted.
The giant python, its tongue flicking, opened its blood-red maw, revealing sharp fangs, and lunged directly at the professor.
The professor, who had lost his wheelchair, had no way to dodge and could only control it with his Psychic Abilities. Seeing this, Colossus hurriedly threw a punch.
As soon as he threw the punch, Colossus was horrified to find that he seemed to have turned into a twisted paper doll. His arm was bent and crooked, and it had no force when it hit him. Instead, he staggered and almost fell over.
"Hiss..."
Everyone gasped when they saw Colossus's unusual behavior.
The ability to Reality Warping is terrifying; with a single thought, Colossus, with his 'Steel Body,' was reduced to a thin, distorted piece of paper.
Jean Grey pulled the professor behind her, and the giant python, which the professor had already controlled, changed again, suddenly transforming into a missile.
And then... it exploded!
"Bang!"
The explosion sent flames shooting straight into the sky, the towering flames accompanied by a powerful impact, as if they were about to devour everything!
Petra instinctively manipulated the earth to try and block the impact of the explosion, but the rising ground instantly transformed into dancing butterflies, scattering in all directions.
Immediately afterwards...
