Strange Mutant Abilities!
The recruitment of a high-ranking military officer, an Army general, was obviously much more reliable than that of William Stryker, a mere Major. The same "X-Weapon Project, spoken by the two of them, gave the impression of being completely different.
Hearing about the "X-Weapon Project from General Munson gave them the impression of a top-secret national military research program. However, if it were Major William Stryker, they would only assume it was a research and development program of a small research institute under some unit, and it would be difficult to impress them.
William Stryker hadn't initially expected General Munson to agree to his demands so easily. He had originally intended to negotiate with General Munson eventually have him recruit the few research experts he valued most and who were the most capable.
Unexpectedly, after receiving his request, General Munson approved it without hesitation and took over the task of recruiting all the researchers.
William Stryker didn't think much of it. He assumed that General Munson was taking his "X-Weapon Project very seriously. Little did he know that General Munson, as an army general, would only provide more support for a program if he valued it highly. There was no need for him to take on the entire recruitment of personnel.
It would have been fine if they had just recruited Chen Mo, Victor, James, or a few top scientists, but why did they have to take over the recruitment of researchers as well?
General Munson did indeed attach great importance to the "X-Weapon Project, but what he valued was not William Stryker and his " X-Weapon Project, but Chen Mo, the real mastermind behind it all!
In any case, with General Munson's assistance, the research team was formed very quickly and smoothly. In accordance with William Stryker's requirements, all the researchers on his list were summoned to the secret headquarters of the "X-Weapon Project" without missing a single one, and the Mutants research team was officially established!
Although it's called a Mutants research team, the members of this team don't just study the human body and abilities; some of them are also dedicated to the research and development of Adamantium.
With the Vibranium meteorite in hand and the research team in place, the development of Adamantium immediately commenced.
However, Mutants research is still missing one crucial element: research materials— Mutants!
Although the members of X-Force are all Mutants, they are the foundation of William Stryker's "X-Weapon Project," and many subsequent tasks require their participation, so it's impossible to use them for research.
Therefore, after the research team was formed, the members of X-Force were immediately dispatched to carry out a new mission: to capture Mutants!
It must be said that William Stryker, as the "Mutant Buster," has a talent, or rather, luck, far surpassing others in finding traces of Mutants!
Chen Mo had never been able to find a single Mutants before, but after Chen Mo led the X-Force to start capturing Mutants, William Stryker would always find new Mutants shortly after they finished capturing them. This left Chen Mo and the others with very little time to rest. They would often receive new capture missions from William Stryker as soon as they returned to the base with the Mutants they had captured.
Fortunately, some of the Mutants whose strength had diminished and who posed little threat were captured by the soldiers of First Special Operations Team. Not every Mutants required the X-Force to personally take action, otherwise they would probably be overwhelmed.
The Mutants captured by Chen Mo and his team came from all walks of life. Among them were workers, farmers, company employees, gamblers, gang members, and fugitive criminals, but the vast majority of them were still minors.
Besides the fact that there are more young Mutants, another important reason is that they don't know how to hide.
Although Mutants have existed for a long time, with people like Victor and James awakening their mutant abilities more than a hundred years ago, Mutants numbers have remained extremely small over the past century. They are as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns, which is why Chen Mo's search for them has been fruitless.
However, in recent years, the number of Mutants has suddenly experienced a rapid increase.
Many young people awaken their mutant abilities under various circumstances, and because they do not know how to control or hide their abilities, they quickly expose them, which then attracts the attention of William Stryker, followed by the arrival of the X-Force or Special Operations Squad.
The number of Mutants imprisoned at the secret headquarters of the "X-Weapon Project" is increasing, and research on Mutants has officially begun.
These captured Mutants possess all sorts of unique abilities.
Controlling fire, ice, water, flight, passing through walls, Speed, sound waves, vibrations, transformations, and so on— Mutants abilities are incredibly diverse. However, not all Mutants possess powerful combat abilities or useful skills. Many of their abilities are bizarre, and some even have completely useless, mediocre skills.
For example, some people have much more skin than ordinary people, making them look like Shar Pei dogs. However, this extra skin is not special; it cannot provide bulletproof protection or be used for attacks. Apart from making them look like Shar Pei dogs, it serves no other purpose. If you really want to say something, it might be that it helps with heat dissipation, since it covers a larger area.
That's not the most bizarre thing. Even more tragic is a "birdman"—and this birdman isn't Angel, but a real "birdman"!
He had a bird-like head and sparsely feathered wings, making him look like a birdman. However, the key problem was that he couldn't even fly, and he had no offensive or defensive capabilities whatsoever, making him an absolute loser.
These Mutants with different abilities were captured and became the research subjects of the research team, turning into a group of "guinea pigs" used for experiments and research!
However, unlike in the movie, thanks to Chen Mo's presence, General Munson devoted more energy and attention to the "X-Weapon Project. The entire team was no longer completely under William Stryker's command as in the movie, and the secret base of the " X-Weapon Project was not entirely under his control.
Fearing repercussions from General Munson and the military, William Stryker didn't dare go too far, and his research on Mutants wasn't as unrestrained as depicted in the movies.
