The Mutant God in American Comics.

Chapter 51: Sebastian Shaw, the "Black King"

Although the current information is not much, Richard already knows where to start.

He didn't think that the system would issue the mission to rescue Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver for no reason, nor did he think that his meeting the King of Cards in the casino was a coincidence.

Not only that, his intuition also told him that the invitation that the King of Cards mentioned was, if nothing unexpected happened, an invitation from the Hellfire Club.

The King of Cards has the superpower of mind isolation, so he can't use telepathy on the King of Cards.

But there are definitely more mutants invited than just Gambit.

More importantly, other mutants would not have the superpower of mind isolation.

This means that he only needs to use telepathy to find the other mutants in Las Vegas to find out whether the invitation that King of Cards mentioned is related to the Hellfire Club.

If all goes well, he can also find members of the Hellfire Club through telepathy.

After a brief thought, he immediately used telepathy without any hesitation.

Without much effort, he sensed two to three hundred mutants in downtown Las Vegas.

He ignored the Ipsilon and Delta-class mutants and focused on sensing the Beta and Alpha-class mutants.

Although it is not yet certain whether the invitation mentioned by the King of Cards is related to the Hellfire Club.

But it goes without saying that mutants who are too weak will most likely not receive an invitation.

Compared to the Brotherhood of Mutants and the X-Men, the Hellfire Club is less famous and is not as world-famous as the Brotherhood of Mutants and the X-Men.

Although not as famous as the Brotherhood of Mutants and the X-Men, the Hellfire Club is not much weaker than them.

Apart from anything else, those who can become official members of the Hellfire Club are, without exception, well-known figures in the Marvel Universe.

I won’t mention the four characters who appeared in the movie: "Black King" Sebastian Shaw, "White Queen" Emma, ​​"Red Devil" Azazel, and "Torrent" Janos Quess.

In the comics, Magneto, Dark Phoenix, "Captain Britain" Brian, "Son of Mephisto" Blackheart, "Son of Satan" Hellstorm, "Son of Apocalypse" Carnage, Madame Hydra, "Red Queen", the clone of Phoenix Jean, and so on, were all members of the Hellfire Club at some point in time.

If we say that the Brotherhood of Mutants accepts everyone, anyone can join as long as they agree with the idea of ​​using force to gain power.

The Hellfire Club is an absolute mutant organization that only recruits elite mutants.

Therefore, the mutants invited by the Hellfire Club are definitely not ordinary mutants of the Ipsilon and Delta levels.

Unless they have very special super powers.

After excluding the Ipsilon-class and Delta-class mutants, the number of mutants that Richard needed to further confirm suddenly dropped to less than fifty.

Without wasting any time, he immediately began to conduct more in-depth telepathy on the remaining mutants, reading their memories without making any noise.

Among the remaining mutants, more than half are mutant agents of the Department of Mutant Affairs.

After excluding the mutant agents, there are only 15 mutants left.

Among these 15 mutants, only 8 received the invitation.

Just as Richard guessed, the one who invited them was indeed the Hellfire Club.

However, they didn't know why the Hellfire Club invited them.

The invitation they received only contained the time and address, but no specific content.

The day after tomorrow at 8pm, Atomic Nightclub.

In addition to figuring out the time and place, Richard also figured out who the current leader of the Hellfire Club is.

Although this is not the X-Men movie universe, the leader of the Hellfire Club is still "Dark King" Sebastian Shaw.

In addition, "White Queen" Emma, ​​"Red Devil" Azazel, and "Torrent" Janos Quess are now members of the Hellfire Club, exactly the same as in the movie.

After discovering that the current leader of the Hellfire Club was Black King Xiao, Richard immediately made a decision.

Hei Wang Xiao's X-gene superpower "energy absorption" is determined!

Black King Shaw is not an Omega-level mutant, but the energy absorption he possesses is stronger than many of the same type.

General energy absorption can only absorb single or several forms of energy.

Black King Xiao's energy absorption allows him to absorb all energy except spiritual energy, including but not limited to kinetic energy, thermal energy, electrical energy, nuclear energy, etc.

More importantly, his energy absorption can directly absorb the energy from the enemy's attack.

Whether you attack him with fists, fire bullets and shells at him, or attack him with lightning and shock waves, the energy contained in the attack will be absorbed by him.

In addition, the energy absorbed and stored in his body can not only be released again, but also used to strengthen his physical attributes. Although his energy absorption is stronger than many mutants of the same type, he still has weaknesses.

Whether it is absorbing energy or storing energy in the body, there is a limit.

To put it simply, he cannot absorb infinitely and store permanently.

Once the upper limit is exceeded, it will cause serious harm to him.

If he could absorb and store energy infinitely, he would become a true Omega-level mutant.

When there is no energy stored in his body, Hei Wang Xiao can only be regarded as an ordinary person with a relatively strong body.

Whenever a fight broke out, he could quickly raise his physical attributes to superhuman levels.

Unless his enemies do not attack him, giving him no chance to absorb energy from the attack.

Of course, he can also absorb and store energy in advance before the battle begins.

For example, just like in the movies, absorb the energy of the nuclear reactor in advance to facilitate yourself in dealing with the next battle.

With his superpower of energy absorption alone, Black King Xiao is difficult to defeat using conventional means.

However, he is still not invincible.

Because he couldn't resist the telepathy of the psychic.

Without a telepathic helmet, and without the White Queen by his side, he had no way to defend against or resist any psychic attacks.

The reason why Black Shaw in the movie was defeated was because Magneto took off his mind-isolating helmet, which gave Professor X a chance to immobilize him with telepathy and finally complete his revenge.

In addition, the fact that Black Shaw in the movie was killed by Magneto was also related to his underestimation of the enemy.

To put it in a more vivid way, the villain died because he talked too much.

In addition to energy absorption, Black King Xiao also possesses a self-healing factor.

Although he can't heal himself as quickly as Sabretooth and Wolverine, his self-healing ability is still unscientific compared to ordinary people.

In addition, the self-healing factor he possesses can effectively slow down his aging process.

If he absorbs enough energy, he can achieve rejuvenation and immortality to a certain extent.

After recalling Black King Xiao's "energy absorption" ability in his mind, Richard's desire to plunder his superpowers became stronger and stronger.

Not only that, he was also very interested in the White Queen's telepathy.

As long as he could plunder the White Queen's telepathy, his telepathy would be immediately upgraded to Alpha level.

Although he may not be as good as Professor X after the upgrade, he can still become one of the top psychics on Earth.

In addition to being interested in the White Queen's telepathy, he was also quite interested in the White Queen herself.

Just now, when he was searching for information about the Hellfire Club from the minds of those eight mutants, he unexpectedly discovered that not only was Black King Xiao younger than in the movie, but the White Queen was also younger.

The Black King Shaw in the movie is thirty or forty years older than Magneto.

The White Queen is about the same age as Magneto and Professor X.

Although the eight mutants did not know the exact ages of Black King Xiao and the White Queen, from what they knew, Black King Xiao would not be over 8 years old, and the White Queen would not be over 40 years old.

After discovering that the White Queen was younger than he expected, Richard's mind immediately flashed through the various white outfits that the White Queen had worn in the movie.

White clothes, white skirt, white boots, white bikini, white sexy lingerie...

If the White Queen's age is the same as in the movie, she would be the same age as Magneto and Professor X.

Richard would not have any interest in Emma the White Queen.

Just like he wouldn't be interested in Mystique, who is her grandmother's generation.

But if the White Queen was only in her twenties or thirties, that would be a different story.

After thinking about it, Richard temporarily removed the White Queen from the kill list.

Although killing the White Queen could upgrade his telepathy, there were not a small number of people with psychic abilities in this world.

Without killing the White Queen, he can still upgrade his telepathy to Alpha level.
