Charmcaster

Jenny Baker was very cooperative.

Or perhaps the other party wasn't some vicious and evil villain to begin with.

As various instruments scanned the other person's body, Norman arrived with Helen Cho and Connorson.

"Benny, what's going on?"

Norman wondered, "How can an ordinary person suddenly gain Superpowers? What do those companies that spent billions of dollars and came up with absolutely nothing think about this?"

"Uncle Norman, is that company you're talking about, the one that 'spent billions of dollars and didn't even produce a fart', you?"

Ben laughed as he compared Jenny Baker's genes with those of an average person.

The Osborn Corporation used to have several departments researching Superpowers.

Of course, it would be an exaggeration to say that they didn't figure anything out, since the Mutant Spider, Lizard Serum, and Green Goblin Serum were all Osborn's creations.

It's just that the flaws are very obvious.

"Life is hard, don't expose it."

Norman Osborn rarely joked.

He and Ben had always had a good relationship; Primus had initially risen to prominence thanks to Osborn.

Connorson wasn't too happy. "I feel like you guys are targeting me."

Everyone laughed, and then they got down to business.

Dr. Helen Cho Zhao, who had studied the Life Cradle technology, was also a genius in the field of biological sciences. Moreover, Ben shared the technology of the Extremis Virus, which took her to the next level.

At that moment, Helen Cho immediately realized that Jenny Baker was not human.

"Unbelievable! Her entire body was carbonized, yet she's still alive? She should have shattered at the slightest touch."

Even the hyperthermia caused by the Extremis Virus has its limits.

When the entire body is carbonized, the person injected with the Extremis Virus is almost on the verge of exploding.

Connorson was also inquiring about the situation, "Her bodily functions are completely normal? She can still see? She can still taste?"

Ben replied, "Not only can you see it, you can also cry."

He pulled up the footage and zoomed in on Jenny Baker's facial features. "Look, tears."

"It's clearly eye boogers."

Connorson complained.

But he also knew that tears did exist, but the residual heat from the other person's body evaporated them, leaving behind particles.

"Incredible!"

"What's the difference between this and a stone coming to life? Although it's not like I haven't seen living stones before."

Korg the Thing, and even Ben's Heatblast, the Diamondhead is essentially a living stone.

"Look at the Black Silk... no, look at the genes." Helen Cho misspoke.

Ben compared Jenny Baker's genetic helix with that of an average person and indeed discovered subtle differences.

"The difference is so small it's almost negligible," Connorson said, frowning.

In biology, mice and humans share more than 90% of their genes, not to mention humans who are originally of the same race.

But after the X Gene awakens, Jenny Baker's subtle difference becomes so striking, like a torch in the night.

"It was this part of the gene that caused her mutation."

Ben said, "I call it the X Gene. The question now is, where does this gene come from, how many people carry it, and is it recessive or dominant?"

A whole host of questions, but for Ben, the first one was the most crucial.

In a world without Mutants, why did Mutants genes suddenly appear?

Did the world restart sometime without his knowledge?

"Impossible!"

"Absolutely impossible!"

Do you really think Alien X is a pushover?

If the world restarts, Ben will definitely feel it at the moment of restart, and he will not be affected by the power of restart.

Norman analyzed, "Judging from her symptoms, this gene seems to be lying dormant inside the body, and may suddenly erupt once stimulated."

His expression was not good.

"If there are a large number of people with this gene, then it could be dangerous."

Connorson nodded in agreement. "Anger that becomes uncontrollable, coupled with sudden power, can cause irreversible consequences, even if one had no intention of doing anything."

Their concerns clearly point to the fundamental reason why Mutants face such a difficult situation in other universes.

Most Mutants awaken during adolescence, a time of emotional instability.

At an age when they are most rebellious and their values need to be shaped, they suddenly gained uncontrollable powers, causing too many incidents of Mutants.

Therefore, it's not that people are prejudiced against Mutants, but rather that the awakening of Mutants first brought devastating pain to ordinary people.

Just like this time, several people died because of Jenny Baker.

Even if she died unintentionally, the fact of her death cannot be changed.

"Is it possible to find potential individuals with this gene and manage them in advance?" Norman asked.

"The sample size is too small."

Ben shook his head helplessly. "Besides, the X Gene is almost unpredictable before it awakens, making it very difficult to prevent in advance. We can't possibly control all the teenagers in the world; wouldn't that make me Hydra?"

Moreover, while the emergence of Mutants is troublesome, Ben is more concerned about why they appeared in the first place, and now that Mutants have appeared, what about famous Mutants like Professor X and Magneto?

What will become of them?

At least it can be confirmed that in his world, there is no one named Logan who participated in World War II.

Do those famous X-Men and Brotherhood no longer exist?

And there's Phoenix!

This terrifying power is unavoidable when discussing Mutants.

Ben even suspected that the sudden appearance of Mutants was related to the Phoenix Force.

Perhaps due to his Spider-Sense, Ben almost prophesied the truth.

Right now, in Legerdomain.

The white-haired witch unleashed spells, and powerful Energy of the Universe magic repelled the White Queen who was battling her.

A few years ago, she was an infant Charmcaster, but now she has returned to her original form. Moreover, due to being in the Manna Dimension, her magic has improved rapidly, and she is now able to fight against the White Queen and her allies.

While the White Queen and the others were surprised by the changes the Charmcaster had undergone in just a few years, they were not entirely unable to accept them.

"She's grown up so fast, it feels like just yesterday she was here." The Magik crouched on the floating rock, watching the White Queen train her.

Her brother Colossus nodded. "Of course, she still has the remnants of Phoenix's power within her. She is the vessel chosen by Phoenix, and the hope of us Mutants."

As Messiah, what's wrong with growing up a little faster!

Absolutely reasonable!

But in reality, the Charmcaster had simply used magic to restore her to her original form; after all, she wasn't a real baby.
