Marvel: Son of Tomorrow

The rescue efforts continued into the night.

As Clark said, Congressman Kelly's body structure has almost completely turned into a jellyfish. Such a body structure cannot support the birth of intelligence in living things, let alone maintain the life activities of a human body.

There are many mutants with mutant abilities that can change their own appearance, but without exception, these mutants' abilities are gradual and slowly awakened. Hank can transform into a beast because he has this ability in his human body.

Just like the little rascal, she can absorb the vitality of others, but not her own vitality. Even if she cannot control whether this ability can take effect, she will not

But it is obvious that Congressman Kelly, the first ordinary person at this time, had the ability to turn into a jellyfish. It was not innate to him, but was forced to change in some way.

This also caused his body and abilities to be completely unable to adapt, making his abilities a threat to his life.

In the end, Beast and Jean had no choice but to keep Congressman Kelly alive by directly replenishing nutrients to his cells.

It's a pity that this is only a temporary solution. Even if the cells are replenished with nutrients, Congressman Kelly's genes are still rapidly degenerating, and eventually, he will turn into a pool of water and die.

"Hello, Congressman Kelly."

Charles maneuvered his wheelchair into the laboratory and looked at Congressman Kelly who had just woken up and was lying on the operating table.

"I am Professor Charles..."

Congressman Kelly was panting heavily. He was too weak, but after seeing Charles, he still said...

"I'm worried...if I go to the hospital...they'll..."

"They'll think you're a mutant, right?"

Jean and Beast had long discovered that what made Congressman Kelly become like this was the x gene that appeared in his body for some unknown reason.

Facts have proved that putting oneself in another's shoes is a very difficult thing, but if it really happens, people will understand each other no matter how intense the conflict is.

This is what Congressman Kelly is like at this time.

Once, when he was talking on Capitol Hill and labeling all mutants as potential criminals and dangerous elements, he never considered how difficult life would be for ordinary, kind mutants.

It was not until she also possessed mutant powers that he suddenly realized that in the mutant public opinion he had constructed, people with mutant powers were not even qualified to go to the hospital.

He escaped and came to the beach in New Jersey, suggesting that because of the special abilities he displayed, no one would lend a helping hand to him. He himself did not dare to go to the hospital and eventually fell into a coma. If Jean and Storm had not sensed him, he would probably be dead now.

"We are not enemies, there are good and evil..."

Charles could see that even though they were in a school for mutants, Senator Kelly still couldn't fully trust them, but this was all he could say.

The conflict between humans and mutants is so deep that even Congressman Kelly in front of him is, after all, just a victim of years of stereotypes.

Looking at Charles' eyes, Congressman Kelly finally nodded slightly.

"You should say this to the person who hurt me."

He still couldn't fully trust the mutants, but at this point, he had no choice.

Charles was silent, maneuvered his wheelchair to come behind Congressman Kelly, and placed his hands gently on both sides of his temples.

"Now, please relax, I won't hurt you."

Using his psychic powers, Charles entered Congressman Kelly's memory and saw everything he had experienced.

On an isolated island in the Pacific Ocean, in the base of the Brotherhood of Mutants.

Secretary Henry, who had been killed long ago, and Mystique, who was lurking beside him in disguise, were kidnapped to the island, with a machine in its location and a magical light.

The machine driven by Magneto's power released special waves, and Senator Kelly's body changed as a result.

"The future belongs to mutants, my brother..."

This was the last sentence Magneto said to Senator Kelly before he left the island and came to the academy. This also means that the special radiation released by this special machine transformed an ordinary person like Senator Kelly into a mutant with extremely unstable genes.

"this..."

...

In the conference room...except for Qin who stayed in the laboratory to take care of Congressman Kelly, everyone gathered here again.

"The radiation released by that machine will cause mutations in the human body, turning humans into mutants."

Charles told everything he knew, and the Beast supplemented it based on the data obtained from Congressman Kelly.

"And this change is not natural. Their bodies should not have our mutant genes. This will cause the foreign genes to be rejected by the body, but the mutant genes have a comprehensive impact on the human body."

Just like Cyclops' superpowers, it seems that he is only releasing high-energy lasers from his eyes, but in fact, his mutation is not just as simple as his eyes. While his eyes gain special abilities, various parts of his body are actually working to support the abilities of these eyes.

Therefore, once the mutant gene is rejected by the body, the result is that the body will self-destruct and all cells will die.

"So will this radiation affect mutants?"

This is the issue that Cyclops is concerned about. As the successor of Charles' will, he is actually different from Charles. He is not so concerned about the human group. Compared with humans, he cares more about the safety of mutants. This is somewhat similar to Magneto, but in terms of his style of doing things, he is more like the gentle Charles rather than the radical Magneto.

"No, not really, but all ordinary humans will be affected."

"Then why are they arresting Rugrats?"

The last question was raised by Logan. He is more pure. He doesn't care about the mutant group, nor does he care what will happen to humans. He also doesn't care whether a war between humans and mutants will break out. In his opinion, both sides are not good people.

All he cares about is the safety of the little rascal.

"I don't know... Senator Kelly's memory ends here. Jesse Lai escaped from the island where the Brotherhood of Mutants is located. We still don't know Magneto's purpose."

Although they knew that Magneto's plan must revolve around that machine, they had no idea how he would act specifically.

Now that the search room has been destroyed, it means that they have no way to stop Magneto's plan.

Logan was so angry that he almost wanted to grab his backpack and leave. He was tired of the endless meetings and discussions, but in the end he couldn't come up with an answer. In this case, he might as well go out for a walk. Maybe if he was lucky, he would run into them.

"Everyone, is it possible?"

Clark suddenly spoke up. Having shared his brain with Luther, he also learned Luther's analytical methods. Although his intelligence was not as good as Luther's, his brain was well developed.

After constant speculation, he seemed to have found the correct answer.

"Professor, you just said that the machine caused Magneto to suffer a great loss of vitality."

"In fact, the act of transforming Senator Kelly into a mutant nearly killed him."

Charles added, and after he finished speaking, he seemed to realize something.

"No matter how things develop, Magneto's goal is the final battle between humans and mutants. In this case, as the strongest mutant, he will never allow himself to be seriously injured or even killed. Then the ability of the little rascal will be useful."

"He wants to use the ability of the little rascal to temporarily gain his power, so that he can sacrifice himself to start the machine!"

Everyone said in unison, and Clark took out a newspaper, which contained news from a few days ago.

"And today, leaders of almost all countries gathered in New York, planning to hold a joint meeting on mutants tomorrow afternoon. If such a radiation outbreak occurs in New York today..."

Clark didn't finish, but everyone knew the answer.

"Then the leaders of all countries will become mutants with extremely unstable genes, and the world will fall into chaos."
