The knight in the big world of American TV series

Chapter 2316

He can be attacked from any part of his body.

If he didn't find it disgusting, he could even hit Thor on the head with his genitals!
In this situation, all of Thor's previous experience is useless. You see him about to throw a punch, and you're just about to block when his leg strikes you in a way that completely violates human kinetics, delivering a groin kick!

All movements of the human body involve rotation around joint axes. Walking, running, and jumping are achieved through the rotation of these joints. Therefore, the rotation of the human body's joints is the foundation of human movement. When studying human rotation, the various components of the body can move freely and their shapes can change. The study of the laws governing human rotation is based on rigid body mechanics. To study the laws governing human movement, the human body must be treated as a rigid body under certain conditions. When a rigid body rotates, all points on the rigid body undergo circular motion, forming concentric circles of different sizes. The centers of all these circles lie on the same straight line, which is called the axis of rotation. If the position and direction of the axis of rotation are fixed relative to a reference frame, it is called a fixed axis; rotation around a fixed axis is called rotation about a fixed axis. If the position and direction of the axis of rotation change relative to a reference frame, it is called a moving axis; rotation around a moving axis is called rotation about a moving axis.

The axis of rotation for fixed-axis rotation in the human body may be the joint axis of a local limb, the basic axis of the body, or the axis of an external instrument. Conventionally, external rotation axes are called solid axes, while internal rotation axes are called non-solid axes.

Rotation of the entire human body around a fixed exercise apparatus is called rotation with a fulcrum and a physical axis. Examples include giant swings on a horizontal bar. The trajectory of the human body's center of gravity approximates a circle or an arc. Rotation of a part of the human body or the entire body around a non-physical axis passing through the body's interior is called rotation with a fulcrum but no physical axis. Examples include figure skaters spinning on ice or basketball players' body rotations. The fulcrum can be fixed or not; when the fulcrum is not fixed, the axis can translate. The movement of a part of the human body also falls under this type of rotation with a fulcrum but no physical axis.

In short, all human movements follow a trajectory. Although some aliens differ greatly from human anatomy due to their morphology and skeletal structure, the underlying principles remain the same, and Thor can probably guess a thing or two.

But when it comes to Geer, it's completely useless.

Torton was immediately sent flying.

On the other side, Sif and Heimdall also shut up and began fighting silently.

After all, neither of them were particularly eloquent, so since they couldn't persuade each other, they might as well beat the other person down and then go back and talk things over.

Reasoning requires force!
I once saw a gym ad that was quite interesting. The tagline went something like this: You read books so you can talk to idiots calmly, you work out so idiots can talk to you calmly.

Although neither of them were fools, in each other's eyes they were just stubborn old men who couldn't be reasoned with!
So instead of trying to reason with words, it's simpler and clearer to use fists.

Heimdall wielded a standard battle axe, while Bultsteel was in Sif's hands. Neither of them held back; each clash of their weapons generated a tremendous impact, forcing the surrounding Asgardian warriors to keep their distance, as being too close to them in a full-force collision could easily result in being caught in the crossfire.

As for those derivatives, let's not even mention them.

All high-decibel noise is the most potent poison to them.

This also gave the two a very spacious fighting area.

Unfortunately, their passionate clash ended quickly. There was no way that Asgardian standard weapons could compare to the divine longsword, Bultsteel.

It's important to know that this thing is on par with the Spear of Eternity and Thor's hammer.

Even though Bult steel is not known for its sharpness, it is not something that just any standard weapon can easily provoke.

With another clash of weapons, Heimdall's battle axe was split in two.

Sif was overjoyed, seeing that the situation was much better, but soon she realized something was wrong.

Heimdall showed no panic at the sight of his weapon breaking; in fact, one could say he had expected it.

Just as Sif was about to withdraw her power and retract her weapon.

Suddenly, the magical weapon in his hand began to rebel against him.

She could no longer hold the longsword in her hand.

At that moment, Heimdall suddenly closed in, ignoring the oncoming sword. Bultgen's sword, as if encountering something terrifying, gracefully slid past Heimdall. Even though Sif tried hard to control her weapon, it was no use; she was even tilted to the side.

Sif immediately sensed something was wrong and wanted to drop the sword in order to regain control of her body.

Unfortunately, Heimdall moved too quickly.

As soon as Sif released her longsword, Heimdall's fist slammed into her nose.

This guy showed absolutely no mercy just because the person on the other end was his sister.

Sif felt a sudden darkness engulf her.

Then I was completely stunned by the pain! This reaction is almost exactly the same as that of a human.

This is not surprising, as the two are not that different!

It must be emphasized again that the Asgardians are also human beings. At least initially, they and humans shared the same evolutionary lineage, both evolving from apes to their current state.

If I had to describe them, they would be more like a more stable, less quirky kind of mutant!
Asgardians have a body density three times that of humans, which is not as simple as 1+1=2. Therefore, an average Asgardian possesses a strength of around 30 tons. In the first season of the American TV series *Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.*, the character who catches a blade bare-handed is a relatively ordinary Asgardian, a stonemason. This demonstrates that Asgardians possess incredibly strong bodies, even surpassing Captain America's physical capabilities.

In Thor: Ragnarok, the Thing, Korn, also said: "Beware of those Asgardians, they can't die no matter what."

This shows that the Asgardians' sturdy bodies are quite well-known in the universe. The Grandmaster, the ruler of Sakaar, directly assigned Thor to deal with the gladiator champion Hulk, probably for this reason, since ordinary beings simply cannot fight against Hulk.

If we look at it from a different perspective, they are actually a kind of mutant superpower.

However, they can be stably inherited, and their traits are not as flashy as those of mutants.

Long before the theory of evolution, the brilliant Jonathan Swift touched upon the phenomenon of mutation in *Gulliver's Travels*. In the novel, the adventurous captain once visited an eastern country called Laguna. There lived a race of mutants called "Strooprags," all of whom were immortal. However, their longevity was not hereditary; each was born into an ordinary family. Even their offspring had short lifespans, just like normal people. The entire population of Strooprags in the country was less than 1,100. A Strooprag was born with a red dot above their left eyebrow; this dot turned green at age twelve, blue at twenty-five, and black at forty-five, remaining unchanged throughout their life. This made them recognizable wherever they went. Upon hearing this, Gulliver, from England, immediately began to imagine: how valuable these people must be, never fearing death and constantly learning and accumulating experience! They must be the ones who held high positions in the government. Unexpectedly, the locals explained that the "Strooprags" were cursed, because although they were immortal, they were not immortal either. By their seventies or eighties, they would become as frail as any ordinary old person. To possess such a weakened body yet be unable to die was an immense torment. Therefore, if any of them lived to eighty, the local government would cancel their registration. Although the state would still provide for them afterward, they would have no civil rights whatsoever, becoming mere walking corpses. A young "Strooprag," knowing the tragic fate that awaited him, feared life more than most. In short, in that country, "immortality" was the most feared thing.

The basic characteristics of mutants:

Abnormal appearances are also an important theme in mutation. In the second installment of the Batman series, the villain "Penguin" is a typical mutant. Born into a wealthy family, he has a long nose, a hunchback, and webbed toes. His parents, unable to accept this ugly baby, abandoned him in the sewers on Christmas Eve. As he grew up, he not only resembled a penguin but also became friends with real penguins, becoming their leader. In the end, this tragic "Penguin" launched an attack on humanity filled with resentment and hatred. The TV series "Beauty and the Beast," which was popular in mainland China in the 1980s, featured a protagonist who was a mutant with a lion's face and a human body. He was physically strong and had sharp claws. Also due to his strange appearance, he was abandoned as a child and grew up among a group of homeless people in abandoned sewers. He would appear in the backstreets and alleys at night, fighting for justice.

Many mutants look strange, like Beast, who has blue fur and looks just like the Beast in Beauty and the Beast, but he is much smarter than ordinary people!
There are also Mystique, Blue Devil, and others, each one looking stranger than the last.

When it comes to superpowers, *The Man from Atlantis* is the prime example. Mike Harris's origins are unknown. He wakes from a coma with complete amnesia. However, his ability to dive deep forms the main storyline of the series. Mike can not only breathe underwater but also swim directly from shallow to deep water—a feat few marine creatures possess. Furthermore, Mike gains superhuman strength after only a short time underwater. However, if he remains out of the water for more than twenty hours, he dries up like a fish and becomes critically ill.

This setting is quite powerful.

There's just one bad thing.

That is instability.

Because nobody knows what a mutant's abilities are like before they are awakened.

Even the origins of mutants are untraceable.

For example, if two mutants marry and have children, their child is highly unlikely to be a mutant... while if two ordinary people marry, they might create a mutant. The probability of this is impossible to calculate. Yes, the birth of mutants remains untraceable; at least, current genetic technology cannot explain it.

It is said that mutants are caused by the X gene.

In reality, this is just a hypothesis proposed in the last century, and what exactly the X gene is and how to define it remains uncertain. At least Colonel Stryker, a former American mutant expert, studied it for many years but was unable to extract the so-called X gene. Stryker's son is a mutant, but neither he nor his wife are, and there have never been any mutants in their families.

This thing is just mystical.

But the Asgardians are different; their genetic traits are very stable and can be inherited very stably. In fact, the US government has considered extracting Thor's genes to explore the secrets behind them.

But the results were few... which allowed the US government to obtain Thor's genes.

Thor had no sense of vigilance whatsoever. He had lived on Earth for over a year and had long since had countless genetic materials collected from him.

According to research by the US government, the DNA of Asgardians is not actually that different from that of humans.

It could even be described as extremely small.

At least the genetic similarity between humans and Asgardians is much stronger than that between humans and chimpanzees!

Humans and chimpanzees are both primates, but the difference lies in their environment: humans are in zoos, while humans interact with them outdoors. We laugh heartily, yet the chimpanzees' behavior amazes us with their intelligence. Humans and chimpanzees share a staggering 98.8% DNA similarity! This 98.8% similarity means that, genetically speaking, we are quite similar to chimpanzees. But why do we look so different from chimpanzees, and why do we behave so differently? A 1.2% difference may seem insignificant, but did you know that the human genome is composed of approximately 30 billion base pairs? That means this 1.2% difference translates to about 3500 million different base pairs. Doesn't that number make you realize how significant the difference is? So where exactly do these 3500 million base pair differences lie? Scientists have discovered that these differences are primarily concentrated in the transcription factor regions that control gene expression. Simply put, these regions determine when genes are turned on and when they are turned off. They are like gene switches, controlling our growth, development, and various functions.

Take our brains, for example. Both humans and chimpanzees have genes that encode neurons, but the key difference lies in how these genes are expressed. Our genetic switches are more finely tuned, allowing our brains to develop more neurons and thus a larger brain. This is why we humans are smarter and better at learning and thinking than chimpanzees.

Take, for example, our hair. Both humans and chimpanzees have genes for hair follicles and keratin, but why does our hair look different from chimpanzee fur? This is actually due to the function of genetic switches. Our genetic switches are more cleverly set up, making our hair softer and smoother, while chimpanzee fur is harder and coarser. Besides these physical differences, humans and chimpanzees also differ significantly in their immune systems. Scientists have discovered that certain genes unique to humans are related to immune function, giving us stronger resistance to certain diseases. For instance, chimpanzees are resistant to malaria, while we humans are frequently troubled by this disease. Conversely, we are much more resistant to tuberculosis than chimpanzees.

The differences between Asgardians and humans are even smaller.

It can even be ignored to some extent.

There is not even reproductive isolation between the two!
In terms of physiological structure, the similarity is even more astonishing!
