Chapter Summaries

Tony arrived in the sewers wearing his upgraded Mark 20 nanotech suit, which used Secondary Kryptonite armor and advanced radar systems to counter the Lizardmen. He prepared to test its powerful plasma casters as the battle continued.

• Tony flew into the sewers in his upgraded nanotech suit as the Lizardmen reacted with fear and caution.
• Tony's Mark 20 used Secondary Kryptonite armor for improved protection against heat, pressure, impacts, and energy weapons.
• Tony installed six miniaturized active electronically scanned array radars and linked them to J.A.R.V.I.S. to track fast, stealthy, and small targets.
• Tony aimed his palm cannons at a Lizardman and charged their plasma casters, which concentrated energy from the Ark Reactor.

Tony fired the Mark 20's High-Energy Hydrogen-Based Plasma Sphere at the Lizardman, and its extreme heat melted the creature's armor and devastated the surrounding battlefield. The blast demonstrated the weapon's destructive power, which Tony had previously seen melt a main battle tank's frontal armor.

• Tony activated the Mark 20's plasma system and fired a High-Energy Hydrogen-Based Plasma Sphere at the Lizardman.
• The plasma sphere struck the Lizardman, melting his armor and scorching his body until it broke down into ash.
• The explosion sent a shockwave across the battlefield, blasting enemies away and melting nearby ground and stones.
• Tony's prior test had shown that the plasma sphere could melt a main battle tank's frontal armor on impact.

Tony used his High-Energy Hydrogen-Based Plasma Sphere to devastate the Lizardmen, then prepared a faster follow-up attack. He unleashed Plasma Pulses across the battlefield, leaving Dr. Lizardman and the surviving Lizardmen under attack.

• Tony tested his High-Energy Hydrogen-Based Plasma Sphere on a Gold-Titanium Alloy cube and melted it into molten metal.
• Tony fired a plasma sphere at the Lizardmen, vaporizing some and badly injuring many others in a huge explosion.
• Dr. Lizardman tried to rally the Lizardmen, but Tony began preparing another attack before they could recover.
• Tony activated Plasma Pulse and fired streams of tiny blue pulses from across his suit toward the Lizardman Army.

Tony used Iron Man's rapid-fire Plasma Pulses to devastate the Lizardman Army, while Dr. Lizardman escaped into the sewer with severe burns. Tony ordered J.A.R.V.I.S. to track the fleeing Lizardmen and pursued Dr. Lizardman into the sewer.

• Tony unleashed streams of Plasma Pulses that tore through the Lizardman Army and threw its formation into chaos.
• Dr. Lizardman escaped the bombardment by diving into a nearby sewer, where his rapid metabolism began repairing his burns.
• Tony ordered J.A.R.V.I.S. to track the sewer pipes and prevent any Lizardmen from escaping.
• Tony pursued Dr. Lizardman into the sewer despite its foul stench.

Chang Wei, posing as the Mysterious Person, found the starving Dr. Lizardman and offered him Ancient Lizard Serum. After Chang Wei injected it, Dr. Lizardman underwent a violent and painful transformation.

• Dr. Lizardman fled through an alley, weakened by injuries and overwhelming hunger.
• Chang Wei appeared and immobilized Dr. Lizardman as he lunged at him.
• Chang Wei offered Dr. Lizardman a glowing vial of Ancient Lizard Serum.
• Chang Wei injected the serum into Dr. Lizardman, whose body began a painful, unpredictable transformation.

Dr. Lizardman underwent a transformation that gave him a nuclear reactor-like organ and a body adapted to absorb, store, and release atomic energy. He emerged over four meters long, armored in black scales and equipped to unleash Atomic Breath.

• Dr. Lizardman experienced visions of ancient lizards and mysterious creatures as his consciousness blurred.
• An atomic reactor organ formed inside Dr. Lizardman, allowing him to convert radioactive material into usable energy.
• Dr. Lizardman's bodily systems changed to support his new energy source, strengthening his muscles, nerves, heart, and digestion.
• Black scales, dorsal fins, a powerful tail, and energy-storing cells developed across Dr. Lizardman's body.
• Electrical discharge cells formed in Dr. Lizardman's dorsal fins and connected to a throat organ capable of firing Atomic Breath.
• Dr. Lizardman completed his transformation, growing over four meters long into a massive, armored creature.

Professor Connors transformed into a Godzilla creature and fought Tony, who attacked him with his Large Pulse Electromagnetic Gauntlet. As Tony’s pulses weakened Connors, the G cells in Connors’s body began to take effect.

• Professor Connors’s Godzilla genes overrode his human genes and transformed him into a powerful creature over four meters long.
• Tony followed Connors out of the sewers and prepared to fight, avoiding attacks that could cause widespread damage.
• Tony fired a tracking pulse from his Large Pulse Electromagnetic Gauntlet, striking Connors and blasting scales from his body.
• Tony repeatedly adjusted the gauntlet and bombarded Connors with pulses, slowing his movements and exhausting him.
• The G cells in Connors’s body began to take effect as he endured the pulses.

Professor Connors's G cells adapted to Tony's attacks and unleashed a powerful Heat Ray before smashing him through the building. Badly injured and barely conscious, Tony ordered J.A.R.V.I.S. to launch a saturation attack, and twenty-four missiles struck Professor Connors.

• Professor Connors's G cells healed and strengthened his body, helping him adapt to Tony's Energy Attacks.
• Professor Connors charged and fired a blue Heat Ray that burned part of Tony's armor.
• Professor Connors rushed Tony and smashed him through several floors into the underground parking garage.
• Wounded and losing consciousness, Tony ordered J.A.R.V.I.S. to launch a saturation attack.
• Tony's suit fired twenty-four anti-tank missiles, which struck Professor Connors in a series of explosions.

Tony Stark’s attacks failed to damage Professor Connors until Tony charged the five Arc Reactors and fired the Plasma Jet, which pierced Connors’s skin and began burning him. Connors’s G cells had not made him a true Godzilla, and the chapter left him suffering under the attack as the limits of his regeneration and energy reserves became clear.

• Professor Connors survived Tony Stark’s initial explosion with little visible damage, and J.A.R.V.I.S. reported that his energy readings had not decreased.
• Tony used the five Arc Reactors in his Iron Man suit to charge the Plasma Jet.
• Tony fired the Plasma Jet at Professor Connors, piercing his skin and inflicting severe burns.
• Professor Connors’s body spasmed and howled as blue smoke rose from his charred skin.
• The narration explained that G cells could not give Professor Connors the heat resistance of a true Godzilla and that his transformation had already consumed tremendous energy.

Professor Connors’s G cells were running out of energy as Tony’s attacks forced them to keep adapting, but a radioactive isotope from an industrial CT scanner gave Connors a new source of power. Connors devoured the isotope and began absorbing its nuclear energy through his Godzilla Reactor.

• Tony’s attacks damaged Professor Connors and forced his G cells to spend energy repairing and adapting his body.
• An unidentified object struck Professor Connors and landed nearby, and J.A.R.V.I.S. identified it as a radioactive isotope from the laboratory’s industrial CT scanner.
• Tony realized the isotope could spread dangerous radiation if his Plasma Jet heated it.
• Professor Connors sensed the isotope, rushed to it, and chewed it like food.
• The chapter explained that Connors’s Godzilla Reactor could capture radioactive isotopes and convert their nuclear energy into power.

After Professor Connors ate a radioactive isotope, the Atomic Furnace converted its energy into bio-energy that rapidly repaired and strengthened his body. Tony watched in alarm as Connors’s evolution accelerated and his form began changing toward that of a true Godzilla.

• The Atomic Furnace converted nuclear energy into bio-energy, speeding Professor Connors’s organ functions and repairing his burned skin, muscles, and bones.
• The chapter described the risks of radiation damage and uncontrolled energy buildup, including mutations, overheating, and a possible nuclear explosion.
• Tony reacted with shock and fear when he realized Professor Connors had eaten the radioactive isotope and grown stronger instead of dying.
• Professor Connors’s stalled evolution restarted at several times its previous speed as his body swelled and twisted.
• Professor Connors’s head grew larger, blade-like teeth formed, and his eyes glowed red as he evolved toward a true Godzilla-like life form.

Tony fought Professor Connors after Connors swallowed a radioactive isotope and grew more powerful. Unable to scan Connors clearly through the intense energy interference, Tony used multi-band scanning and adjusted the scanner dynamically to reveal his internal structure.

• Tony checked the surrounding radiation with J.A.R.V.I.S. and learned that radiation levels were zero despite Professor Connors swallowing a radioactive isotope.
• Professor Connors struck Tony with a powerful punch, and Tony saw that Connors’s internal energy was rising rapidly.
• Tony tried to scan Connors, but the energy fields inside his body disrupted J.A.R.V.I.S.’s signals.
• Tony used multi-band scanning and analyzed data across different frequencies to form an image of Connors’s basic internal structure.
• Tony began dynamically adjusting the scanner’s parameters to improve the image’s clarity and detail.

Tony analyzed Professor Connors's body and discovered a biological energy system that appeared to use radioactive decay like an atomic reactor. As Professor Connors prepared to crush him, Bruce Banner arrived as Hulk and smashed through the wall.

• Tony adjusted the scanner and found that radioactive materials inside Professor Connors were guided through a complex energy circulation system.
• Tony concluded that Connors's body contained a biological structure resembling a self-sustaining atomic reactor.
• Tony compared the anomaly to Hulk's transformation and reflected that neither could be explained by current scientific understanding.
• J.A.R.V.I.S. told Tony that Mr. Banner had arrived.
• As Professor Connors moved to crush Tony, Hulk burst through the wall.

Hulk battered Professor Connors, whose wounds healed and whose body evolved, until Tony warned Hulk not to risk damaging Connors’s nuclear-like organ. Connors attacked again, and the two began a fierce fight that continued amid the dust and wind.

• Hulk repeatedly smashed Professor Connors, but Connors’s body regenerated from the devastating injuries.
• Tony told Hulk to stop, warning that Connors’s nuclear-like organ could explode or leak radiation if damaged too badly.
• Connors recovered, grew stronger scales and muscles, and launched a surprise attack that staggered Hulk.
• Hulk charged back at Connors, and the two colossal fighters collided and exchanged blows, claws, and tail strikes.

Professor Connors overwhelmed Hulk with his new Godzilla-powered strength, leaving Hulk battered in the ruins. Connors taunted him, and Hulk’s rage continued to build as he pounded his chest.

• Professor Connors blasted Hulk through a building’s load-bearing wall and dismissed him as an insect.
• Hulk tore a huge chunk of concrete from the wall and hurled it at Professor Connors, but Connors remained unharmed.
• Professor Connors’s body-generated energy shield deflected the concrete fragments, and he savored his newfound power.
• Professor Connors mocked Hulk and challenged him to do better.
• Hulk grew angrier, roared, and pounded his chest amid the ruins.

Hulk transformed and charged Professor Connors, but their collision sent him crashing into a crater. He crawled out enraged, grew even larger and stronger, and leaped at Professor Connors again.

• Hulk grew larger and charged Professor Connors, who met his attack without fear.
• Hulk and Professor Connors collided, unleashing a shockwave that shattered the battlefield and blasted Hulk into the ground.
• Tony watched anxiously as Hulk disappeared beneath the dust and rubble.
• Hulk crawled out of the crater, furious that Professor Connors had seemed to toy with him.
• Hulk’s anger fueled another transformation, and he leaped toward Professor Connors with greater strength.

Professor Connors repeatedly overpowered Hulk, sending him crashing underground and then hurling him away with a devastating punch. Tony watched the fight and called for Chang Wei, while Hulk's latest fate remained unclear.

• Professor Connors met Hulk's charge and used the collision to send himself backward as Hulk was driven deep underground.
• Tony grew worried about Hulk and asked J.A.R.V.I.S. to notify Chang Wei.
• Hulk clawed his way out of the dirt, wounded and furious, then charged Professor Connors again.
• Professor Connors struck Hulk's raised fist with a powerful punch, overwhelming him despite his size.
• Professor Connors's punch unleashed a storm of air that swept Hulk away as Tony watched from a distance.

Hulk recovered from a devastating blow and charged Professor Connors again, whose strength still allowed him to counter Hulk’s attacks. Their fight continued as Hulk swung his other hand at Professor Connors.

• Tony ordered J.A.R.V.I.S. to evacuate people near the damaged buildings.
• Hulk rose from the ruins with severe injuries, but his broken bones and wounds began to heal.
• Hulk charged Professor Connors and struck him with greater strength than before.
• Professor Connors grabbed Hulk’s arm and twisted it, causing Hulk intense pain.
• Hulk resisted and swung his other hand at Professor Connors.

Professor Connors pinned Hulk down and unleashed a vastly enhanced Atomic Breath from his mutated Atomic Furnace. The blue beam reached up to five hundred thousand degrees centigrade, though the chapter ended before its effect on Hulk was shown.

• Professor Connors dodged Hulk's grab and pinned him to the ground.
• Hulk repeatedly struggled to rise, but Professor Connors held him down.
• Professor Connors's tail and dorsal spikes glowed as an electric Energy Field gathered around him.
• Professor Connors's Atomic Furnace built up energy through Chain Reactions and focused it in his mouth.
• Professor Connors fired a blue Atomic Breath with temperatures reaching five hundred thousand degrees centigrade.

Professor Connors unleashed a sustained Atomic Breath that overwhelmed Tony’s instruments and threatened to destroy Hulk with heat, radiation, and impact. Hulk’s green skin began turning red as the attack scorched him.

• Professor Connors fired Atomic Breath toward Hulk, melting stones into glasslike material and reducing trees to ash.
• Tony lost his confidence and ordered J.A.R.V.I.S. to analyze the attack.
• J.A.R.V.I.S. reported readings beyond its instruments’ limits, with temperatures estimated at hundreds of thousands of degrees Celsius.
• Tony recognized that Professor Connors could sustain the attack as long as his Atomic Furnace kept operating, leaving Hulk exposed to continuous destruction.
• Hulk felt the Atomic Breath’s force as his green skin flushed red from the extreme heat.
