Chapter 490
Later, when she learned that Su Quan was a god who could travel through different universes, her expectations of Su Quan and her own needs naturally changed.
Then, the die was cast.
But to her surprise, even though the situation was already a done deal, Su Quan was still willing to put in the effort to create romance for her.
While this kind of romance might be just a simple gesture for Su Quan, many people might not be willing to do something as simple as this.
Moreover, she was currently in a sensitive and anxious state, and Su Quan's romantic gesture not only reassured her but also deeply moved her.
Bathed in the dazzling aurora borealis, this meal was filled with warmth and affection, and will be unforgettable.
The tables, chairs, bowls, and chopsticks disappeared, and ice sculptures rose from the ground. The two people sat on them, but felt no cold at all.
While admiring the aurora, we talked about solar flares.
The company was founded for the purpose of solar flares, and Susan deals with them every day. They have already established partnerships with several major space agencies, using their systems and data to search for and observe solar flares.
According to the latest news, a solar flare has entered the observation range and is expected to reach Earth's vicinity in about two weeks.
"Half a month? I don't think it will take that long."
Su Quan recalled that in the movie, the future Fantastic Four and Doctor Doom also misjudged the arrival time of the solar flare.
The ample time suddenly became tight. Not only was there no time to return to Earth, but there wasn't even time to rescue Benjamin outside the space station, which ultimately led to him becoming the only the Thing whose appearance changed.
This solar flare can be said to have completely changed the fate of the Fantastic Four and Doctor Doom.
Now...
Forget about Doctor Doom; the Doctor Doom of this world is far inferior to the Doctor Doom in the comics, and his personal abilities and temperament are far inferior to Reed's.
Reed has worked tirelessly for his cause in the Void for so long, and has both merits and hardships. There is no need to put his rival on the same starting line as him again.
Doctor Doom.
Reed probably wouldn't mind gaining superpowers, since his original superpowers could greatly help his scientific experiments, at least making them more convenient and saving him a lot of time.
Jonathan, Susan's brother and the future Human Torch, is flamboyant and loves to show off, so he certainly won't refuse.
Susan probably wouldn't either.
Benjamin... He was the only one of the four who resisted or even hated superpowers, but it was understandable. A perfectly healthy young man suddenly turning into the Thing, no one would want that.
However, his problem is not unsolvable.
"What's wrong?" Susan asked with concern when she saw Su Quan remain silent for a long time.
Su Quan shook his head and said with a smile, "I'm thinking about the Fantastic Four."
"Fantastic Four?"
"Invisible Woman Susan, the Thing Benjamin, Mr. Fantastic Richard, Human Torch Jonathan".
Without any explanation, Susan understood that the four names he mentioned were the Fantastic Four, but what did these codenames mean? And why did they become the Fantastic Four?
The name Fantastic Four sounds like a group.
If it were her and her brother, or herself and Reed, she could understand or guess to some extent.
Four people?
Especially since Jonathan is a scoundrel and doesn't have much interaction with them in his daily life, why would they get together?
Spoilers are fun, and spoilers are even more fun. We've already spoiled so much, so let's spoil a little more.
Su Quan told her the whole story of the Fantastic Four from beginning to end...
After hearing this, Susan's first reaction was that it was nonsense.
Even without Su Quan, she would never have chosen a straight man like Reed, nor would she have chosen Victor after breaking up with Reed, and she would never have gone back to Reed after ending things with Victor.
This is so melodramatic!
That being said, different circumstances at the same time will naturally lead to different choices.
Su Quan's appearance attracted Susan, giving Susan a better and clearer choice. Her feelings naturally became firmer, and Reed and Victor were not even in her choices, which she found melodramatic.
But what if Su Quan wasn't there?
Putting that point aside, Susan is most curious about her own abilities.
"The Invisible Woman? Did I gain invisibility after being hit by a solar flare?"
Su Quan nodded and said, "You can become invisible and create Defense Field."
"It sounds good, but... are there any side effects or aftereffects?"
The ability arose because cosmic radiation from solar flares altered DNA, and as a somewhat competent informal scientist, Susan naturally had concerns about this.
"The birth of the Fantastic Four is both a miracle and an inevitability. There are many Fantastic Four in the vast Parallel Universe, some that look like you and some that don't, but their identity remains the same."
"So there's no need to worry about any long-term effects."
"But..."
Su Quan blinked and asked teasingly, "Do you know what 'social death' means?"
Susan shook her head. "What do you mean?"
"Social death" is short for "social death," which mainly refers to embarrassing oneself in front of the public, and also generally refers to doing something shameful in social circles, being unable to hold one's head up, and being unable to engage in normal social interactions.
As Su Quan recalled, he said, "In the early stages, your Invisibility ability could only be applied to yourself. In other words, you can become invisible, but your clothes cannot. So, before you have a uniform made of suitable material or have fully developed your ability, you cannot wear clothes if you want to Invisibility."
"If you 'Invisibility carrying out a mission in plain sight, and during that time you lose your abilities for some reason, then..."
"..."
Susan considered this scenario and thought, "So this is a disaster, huh? I get it!"
"You'll help me, right?" Susan asked, linking arms with Su Quan.
Thinking of Susan's infamous suicide scene in the movie, Su Quan nodded affirmatively.
Even though you're the one who'll die, I'm the one who'll suffer the loss!
That said, while the creation of the Fantastic Four was a miracle, several necessary conditions were required for a miracle to occur.
First, there's the arrival time and path of the solar flare; second, there's the need to ensure Susan and her team arrive at the designated location precisely on time.
Finally, and most importantly, is the space station.
The location of the space station, its defensive capabilities, and the obedience of the people inside are all very important.
Even the slightest difference can lead to drastically different results!
Keep in mind that there are more than just Susan and her group in the space depicted in the movie.
Others?
They either didn't survive, or they survived but didn't gain superpowers.
It is clear that being exposed to Cosmic Rays from a solar flare does not necessarily grant one superpowers without any danger.
Besides the protagonist's halo, the luck of the Fantastic Four and Doctor Doom is also built by countless coincidences, and every factor in each link is indispensable!
Su Quan's initial idea was Victor's space station, but after asking Susan, he learned that although Victor had established a company, his development direction had nothing to do with space.
In other words, he didn't have a space station at all!
Su Quan neither knew nor wanted to know why he hadn't followed the expected pattern. For now, the only option was to find a different target.
NASA's space station would be the most suitable, but since it has an official background, even if there is some cooperation with the company, it is impossible to allow these people to enter the space station, let alone have the space station serve them.
Of course, the word "impossible" doesn't exist in Su Quan's dictionary; it all depends on what means he uses.
Soft, hard.
Whether to use a third-party site or choose what you need is up to you.
Given that we still have to wait for the appearance of Silver Surfer and Galactus after the solar flare, Su Quan thinks it's best to be polite first and then resort to force. It would be best if we could simply get what we need, but if not... then let's destroy it!
Back in New York, Susan went to the company, while Su Quan used his Psychic Abilities to search for the assistant of the black general who appeared in Fantastic Four 2.
Female officer, Frankie Ray.
Don't ask why I didn't go directly to the general but went to his assistant. The answer is that I didn't remember what the general looked like or his name.
One is a middle-aged Black male military officer, and the other is a female assistant military officer who is comparable to a model. Who is more attractive for research and who is more impressive? Is there any need to say?
Moreover, in the movie, Frankie Ray is an ordinary female officer, just pretty, and has some scenes where she's pursued by the Human Torch.
But in the comics—he has even more screen time!
Well...
In the comics, Frankie Ray is the stepdaughter of the original Human Torch, the inventor of the Human Torch robot.
When the Human Torch from Fantastic Four appears, she and her stepfather go to dig up some parts and chemicals buried decades ago for research on the Human Torch robot. She is accidentally exposed to the chemicals and catches fire.
At this point, I'm sure everyone can sense the vibe, right?
That's right, she didn't die, and she even gained the same abilities as the Human Torch, becoming the female version of the Human Torch!
However, this was not her peak.
When the ravenous Galactus returned to Earth, she volunteered to become its Galactus in order to save the planet and fulfill her long-held desire to explore the universe.
