Moreover, Chen Mo had an official identity and was a high-ranking officer of the Allies. Star-Lord could not help but wonder if the Allies had developed some kind of enhancement method during World War II, one that had successively created the Commander, Captain America, and Captain Carter!
It had to be said that perspective was sometimes truly important. Although Star-Lord was merely an ordinary mercenary in the Milky Way, his broad horizons and experience allowed him to easily deduce many facts that ordinary Earthlings still did not understand even now!
After speaking, Star-Lord looked at Chen Mo expectantly, hoping to hear the answer he wanted from him.
The mainstream enhancement methods in the Milky Way were currently mechanical body modification and genetic modification. The former involved surgery to replace parts of the human body's organs and structure with mechanical components that were tougher, more powerful, and more capable, thereby enhancing the modified person's strength, defense, speed, and other abilities, or adding special functions such as infrared detection.
Kylas, one of Ronan's men whom they had encountered on Morag, was the product of mechanical modification. His strength was no less than Drax the Destroyer's, and his combat power was extremely formidable.
However, their bodies had correspondingly been altered beyond recognition. Most of their body structure and organs had been replaced by machinery, turning them into half-human, half-machine monsters.
Usually, only battle maniacs crazily pursuing power, or those without the money for advanced biochemical modification, would choose this form of mechanical enhancement.
The other kind, biochemical genetic modification, was similar to the procedure Rocket Raccoon had undergone.
Lower-level versions implanted genes from other races, or even animals, into the recipient's body, thereby altering their genetic structure and granting them certain abilities possessed by the race whose genes had been implanted, such as
