After this period of intensive live-subject experiments, good news finally came from Baron Strucker's laboratory in the Alps.
The final-stage screening for Compound V had been completed. The serum's stability met the standard, allowing for initial mass production.
However, after extensive data comparison and clinical observation, the unique traits of the new-generation Compound V had also been fully exposed.
"Sir, Baron Strucker's report has been compiled." Skynet waved an arm and projected several experimental data charts before Homelander.
"Regarding mass-produced Compound V, we have identified three core traits."
"Go on."
"Trait one." Skynet brought up a set of genetic profiles. "Among the final batch of test subjects we sent over, five showed no reaction after being injected with high-concentration Compound V. The compound was rapidly broken down within their bodies."
"After conducting deeper tests, I confirmed that all of them possessed dormant Inhuman genes."
Skynet summarized, "Compound V cannot activate humans with Inhuman genes. This appears to be a genetic lock the Kree placed during their genetic modifications. Their abilities can only be resonantly activated by elements containing Terrigen Crystals."
Homelander was not surprised. It was perfectly normal for the god-making technologies of two different civilizations to reject each other.
"Continue."
"Trait two." Skynet brought up another set of data, accompanied by several experimental recordings.
"When Compound V acts on ordinary humans, the success rate for ability activation reaches one hundred percent. However, the awakened abilities vary wildly in quality and are extremely random."
Skynet opened several videos for demonstration.
"For example, Test Subject Fourteen awakened the ability to make his fingernails grow wildly at a rate of ten centimeters per minute. However, his nails were no harder than an ordinary person's, so he had to trim them constantly."
"And Test Subject Seventy-Two could erupt high-temperature flames from his pores.
