Chapter 51
Chapter 51 “Black King” Sebastian Shaw
Although the information he currently knows is not much, Richard already knows where he should start.
He didn't think the system would issue a mission to rescue Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver for no reason, nor did he think it was a coincidence that he met Gambit in the casino.
Not only that, his intuition also told him that the invitation mentioned by Gambit was, if nothing else, an invitation from the Hellfire Club.
Gambit has the super power of telepathy, and he cannot telepathically telepathize with Gambit.
But Gambit is definitely not the only mutant who was invited.
What's more, other mutants won't have the power of psychic isolation.
This means that he only needs to use telepathy to find other mutants in Las Vegas to find out whether the invitation mentioned by Gambit is related to the Hellfire Club.
If all goes well, he can also telepathically find members of the Hellfire Club.
After thinking briefly, he immediately used telepathy without any hesitation.
Without much effort, he sensed two to three hundred mutants in downtown Las Vegas.
He ignored the Ypsilon-level and Delta-level mutants and focused on sensing the Beta-level and Alpha-level mutants.
Although it is still not certain that the invitation mentioned by Gambit is related to the Hellfire Club.
But you don't need to think about it to know that mutants who are too weak will most likely not receive the invitation.
Compared with 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 the Brotherhood of Mutants and the X-Men.
Apart from anything else, those who can become official members of the Hellfire Club, without exception, are all named beings in the Marvel Universe.
I won’t talk about the four characters who have appeared in the movie: Sebastian Shaw, “Black King”, Emma, “White Queen”, Azazel, “Red Devil”, and Janos Quess, “Riptide”. .
In the comics, Magneto, Dark Phoenix, "Captain Britain" Brian, "Son of Mephisto" Blackheart, "Son of Satan" Hellstorm, "Son of Apocalypse" Carnage, Madam Hydra, and the clone of Phoenix The "Red Queen", among others, was a member of the Hellfire Club at some point.
If the Brotherhood of Mutants is open to all comers, anyone can join as long as they agree with the concept of using force to fight for power.
The Hellfire Club is an out-and-out mutant organization that only recruits elites.
Therefore, the mutants who can be invited to the Hellfire Club will definitely not be ordinary Ypsilon-level and Delta-level mutants.
Unless they have very special superpowers.
After excluding the Ypsilon-level and Delta-level mutants, the number of mutants who needed further confirmation by Richard suddenly dropped to less than fifty.
Without wasting time, he immediately began to have more in-depth telepathy with the remaining mutants, and quietly read their memories.
Of the remaining mutants, more than half are mutant agents of the Department of Mutant Affairs.
After excluding the mutant agents, there were only 15 mutants left.
Among these 15 mutants, only 8 received invitations.
Just as Richard guessed, the person who invited them was indeed the Hellfire Club.
However, they don't know why the Hellfire Club invited them.
The invitation they received only had a 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 was.
Although this is not the X-Men movie universe, the current leader of the Hellfire Club is still the "Dark King" Sebastian Shaw.
In addition, "White Queen" Emma, "Red Devil" Azazel, and "Riptide" Janos Quess are now also members of the Hellfire Club, exactly like in the movie.
After discovering that the current leader of the Hellfire Club was Black King Xiao, Richard immediately made a decision.
Hei Wangxiao's X-gene superpower "energy absorption" is determined by him!
Black King Xiao is not an Omega-level mutant, but his energy absorption is stronger than many of the same type.
General energy absorption can only absorb a 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 also directly absorb the energy from enemy attacks.
Whether you attack him with fists, fire bullets and cannonballs 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 can also be 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 an upper limit.
To put it simply, it cannot absorb infinitely and store it permanently.
Once it exceeds the upper limit, it will cause serious damage to him.
If he can absorb and store energy infinitely, he can become a real Omega-level mutant.
When there is no energy stored in his body, Black King Shaw can only be regarded as an ordinary person with a relatively strong body.
As long as a battle occurs, he can quickly make his physical attributes reach the level of superhuman.
Unless his enemies do not attack him, he will not have the opportunity to absorb energy from the attack.
Of course, he can also absorb and store energy in advance before the battle begins.
For example, as in the movie, absorbing the energy of the nuclear reactor in advance to facilitate himself to deal with the next battle.
With only the superpower of energy absorption, Black King Shaw is difficult to defeat by conventional means.
However, he is still not invincible.
Because he can't resist the telepathy of psychics.
Without wearing a helmet that isolates telepathy and the White Queen is not by his side, he can't defend and resist any psychic attack.
The reason why Black King Shaw in the movie was defeated was because Magneto took off his mind-isolating helmet, which gave Professor X the opportunity to fix him with telepathy and finally completed 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 Shaw also has a self-healing factor.
Although he can't heal himself as fast as Sabretooth and Wolverine, his self-healing ability is still very unscientific compared to ordinary people.
In addition, his self-healing factor can effectively slow down his aging.
If he absorbs enough energy, he can also achieve rejuvenation and immortality to a certain extent.
After recalling Black Shaw's "energy absorption" ability in his mind, Richard's idea of plundering his superpowers became stronger and stronger.
Not only that, he is also very interested in the telepathy of the White Queen.
As long as he plunders the telepathy of the White Queen, his telepathy can be upgraded to Alpha level immediately.
Although he may not be as good as Professor X after the upgrade, it can also make him one of the top psychics on Earth.
In addition to being interested in the telepathy of the White Queen, he is also very interested in the White Queen herself.
Just now, when searching for information about the Hellfire Club from the minds of the eight mutants, he unexpectedly discovered that not only was Black Shaw younger than in the movie, but the White Queen was also the same.
Black Shaw in the movie was 30 or 40 years older than Magneto.
And the White Queen was about the same age as Magneto and Professor X.
Although the eight mutants did not know the exact ages of Black Shaw and the White Queen, from what they knew, Black Shaw would not be more than 40 years old, and the White Queen would not be more than 30 years old.
After discovering that the White Queen was younger than he expected, Richard's mind immediately flashed through the various white outfits of the White Queen in the movie.
White clothes, white skirts, white boots, white bikinis, white sexy underwear...
If the White Queen's age was 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 would not be interested in Mystique, who was his grandmother.
But if the White Queen is only in her twenties or thirties, that's another story.
After thinking for a while, Richard temporarily removed the White Queen from the kill list.
Although killing the White Queen can upgrade his telepathy, there are not a few psychics in this world.
Even if he doesn't kill the White Queen, he can still upgrade his telepathy to the Alpha level.
