Mutant Buster!
In the world of movies, some things that are extremely difficult or even impossible for others can only be accomplished by the key actors themselves; no one else can do it for them!
Just as the Super Soldier Serum was invented by Dr. Erskine, Adamantium was researched by Dr. MacLane, and the Iron Man suit could only be created by Tony Stark, these special things that are closely related to a specific person can only be accomplished by these specific people with special "protagonist auras," and no one else can replace them.
The same goes for William Stryker.
As the founder of the "X-Weapon Project," he single-handedly completed the entire program, from the formation of X-Force to the establishment of the research team, and he personally led the capture of many Mutants.
William Stryker can be considered a key figure in the entire "X-Weapon Project.
He must also possess some kind of "special aura," or plot power, just like Dr. Erskine and Tony Stark.
This is, after all, the world of a movie. Although Chen Mo, an outsider, has joined the plot, as long as he doesn't cause too much irreparable damage, the plot of the whole world will still develop in the original way. There will inevitably be many changes due to Chen Mo's influence, but the general plot will not change much.
For example, Chen Mo killed Red Skull in the world of "Captain America," controlled HYDRA, changed the fates of Dr. Erskine, Howard, Steve, and Carter, formed a more deeply hidden "S.H.I.E.L.D..", unified the underground forces in New York, and even secretly controlled the entire Norway where HYDRA's Top-Secret Base was located. It can be said that he made a huge change to the plot.
However, when he returned to the Iron Man universe, all the changes he made remained, and many parts of the story had changed significantly compared to the original movie, but the main storyline of Iron Man was not affected in the slightest.
Tony Stark gained a sister, Sharon Rogers, who is actually the daughter of Steve and Carter. Stark Industries also gained a mysterious shareholder who has never appeared before. Tony Stark himself also gained a godfather who looks even younger than him.
However, Howard Stark still "died in a car accident," Captain America "crashed into the sea," the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division was still established, the director was still Nick Fury, and even the main villain Obadiah remained unchanged.
All of this is the influence of the plot in the movie world, or you could say it's the inertia of the plot, the general trend, fate, destiny. No matter how you explain it, the plot of a movie does indeed play a huge role in driving the development of many things.
Super Soldier Serum, Adamantium, Iron Man suit, and even the "X-Weapon Project" are not easily achieved. They are only born after a series of coincidences and unrepeatable processes, driven by the plot and through the hands of specific individuals.
This is also the significance of Chen Mo's journey through these worlds.
If any world could be researched by a group of scientists, Chen Mo wouldn't need to travel between worlds anymore. He could simply gather a group of scientists and tell them what he wants.
This is clearly impossible.
Key characters, plot, and cinematic universe are all indispensable. Even a genius like Tony Stark could not have created the Iron Man suit if he hadn't experienced a terrorist attack in Afghanistan, had shrapnel lodged in his heart, or even hadn't encountered Dr. Ethan Iron Man suit!
The same principle applies when we return to the world of "Wolverine" where Chen Mo is currently in.
Chen Mo had tried to find traces of Mutants several times before, but to no avail. William Stryker, on the other hand, seemed to be blessed with good fortune, and found and successfully recruited five Mutants in succession. This was due to the influence of the plot.
It's not that Chen Mo was hindered by the plot; the so-called world plot wasn't that powerful. Rather, it's because finding Mutants is inherently complicated.
At this time, Mutants have just emerged and are extremely rare. Finding them when they are deliberately hiding is like finding a needle in a haystack. It is normal that Chen Mo's several attempts were unsuccessful. However, this extremely difficult task became so easy in the hands of William Stryker, who has the aura of "Mutant Buster".
It's like how we often encounter incredibly lucky people in our daily lives. They win prizes, find money, or have their lost phones returned by kind people. These are the "lucky ones" of the real world, blessed by the heavens and blessed with good fortune. They must have done countless good deeds in their past lives, something others can only envy.
Therefore, Chen Mo simply gave up his idea of finding Mutants on his own and forming a research team to study mutant abilities.
Since William Stryker is certain to complete the "X-Weapon Project" and develop a method to replicate mutant abilities, Chen Mo only needs to wait for him to produce results. Why bother doing something that may not even yield results himself?
As for joining the "X-Weapon Project" directly as a manager or even in charge, given Chen Mo's current influence in the United States, there is absolutely no problem. However, the "X-Weapon Project" was created by William Stryker and is his life's goal. If Chen Mo directly seizes control from William Stryker or makes him feel threatened, it is very likely to affect the progress of the "X-Weapon Project" and cause unpredictable changes.
Chen Mo was familiar with the plot, and he was able to completely control the situation, both in terms of personal strength and the power he controlled. Therefore, whether he joined as the person in charge of the "X-Weapon Project" or as a member of the X-Force, it made no difference to Chen Mo. The military's attitude towards the "X-Weapon Project" and William Stryker's life and death were entirely in his hands.
As long as the "X-Weapon Project is successfully completed and the technology for replicating mutant abilities is developed, Chen Mo doesn't mind continuing to disguise himself as a " Mutants " and closely monitor the development of the " X-Weapon Project. There is no need to interfere excessively with William Stryker's actions to avoid causing trouble. After all, the Mutants research team has not yet been fully established, and the two scientists in the movie who are responsible for Mutants modification and enhancement have not yet appeared. These are all things that William Stryker needs to accomplish.
Chen Mo needs to do is wait.
