Watching Hank's grave expression, Solomon slowly dropped a bombshell that overturned everything he knew.
"I've studied the X-Gene for a long time, and I've already broken through existing theories to develop an entirely new, special genetic serum. This serum can rewrite an ordinary human's genetic sequence, granting it special properties comparable to those of the X-Gene."
Boom!
Hank's whole body jolted. His pupils abruptly contracted, disbelief covered his face, and he stared fixedly at Solomon, his voice trembling slightly:
"What?! You mean this serum can turn ordinary people into mutants? That's impossible!"
Solomon shook his head gently, correcting his mistake.
"Not mutants in the traditional sense. They don't have a true X-Gene in their bodies. Their ordinary genes have merely been modified to possess special properties of the same origin as the X-Gene. You could classify them as New Mutants, or entirely new supes."
"Not only that, but projections suggest this serum is highly likely to strengthen the original X-Gene and amplify a mutant's innate abilities. More importantly, it might be able to regulate your genetic state. It might help suppress your X-Gene and completely restore your original human appearance, or it might help you gain perfect control over your X-Gene, allowing you to transform freely at will."
Hank's brows knitted tightly as he lowered his head and muttered to himself, filled with shock and disbelief:
"Impossible... this is absolutely impossible... how could human genes replicate the properties of the X-Gene? This is nothing short of a miracle..."
But on second thought, if this serum really had been successfully developed, perhaps the genetic mutation that had troubled him for years could truly be cured for good!
After the utter shock came overwhelming elation and hope.
He abruptly raised his head, his eyes blazing with light and eagerness, and spoke urgently.
