Heroes of Marvel

Chapter 1020: Change

After the battle in London ended, the participating members of the X-Men were all impacted to varying degrees by the energy released from the Aether Particle.

As a powerful item that can change reality and illusion, its energy seemed to have some effect on mutants. However, except for Iceman, the other X-Men were not very close to the center of the Aether Particle energy burst, so they were only slightly affected.

When all the X-Men returned, only Iceman suddenly fell into a coma and woke up feeling different. However, he couldn’t quite explain what was different.

But as a level-five Omega Level mutant, even a slight change in his mutant ability could have a significant impact.

“Robert? It seems like he has already come out of the medical room today. I haven’t asked about his condition yet. But, from the looks of it, he has completely recovered in the past few days.” When Professor Charles asked about Iceman, Storm answered after a moment of hesitation.

“Completely recovered? If he has completely recovered, perhaps we should do some testing. I have been worried that he may not be able to control this power after he continuously used his mutant ability to extreme in the past few days.” After hearing Storm’s response, Professor Charles blinked and said.

“You mean… like Jean?”

“Jean’s situation was very special… Although she has been missing for a long time. But, I have a feeling that she may reappear again in the near future.” Without waiting for Storm to finish speaking, Professor Charles continued.

Regarding a major event involving the X-Men, Mutant Brotherhood, and some forces against mutants on Earth years ago, the most critical figure was a level-five mutant whose ability went out of control: Jean Grey.

She was also a level-five Omega Level mutant with powerful telepathic abilities and the power to control objects with her mind, and years ago, she caused significant damage to the X-Men, the Mutant Brotherhood, and the forces against mutants.

After that event, Jean disappeared, and no one knew where she went or if she was still alive. Even Professor Charles, who used his telepathic abilities to search for her worldwide multiple times, couldn’t find her, as her telepathic abilities were stronger than his.

Therefore, when Iceman gradually revealed his extraordinary abilities at Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters, Professor Charles Xavier had been keeping an eye on his growth.

Eventually, Professor Xavier confirmed that Iceman’s ability to create ice and lower temperatures had reached Level Five Omega Level.

In previous tests, some data showed that Iceman’s abilities had no limits, which was consistent with the abilities of Level Five Omega Level mutants.

After Iceman discovered the ability to create an absolute ice domain, a super-powerful ability release method, he gradually confirmed his status as a Level Five Omega Level mutant.

Although under Professor Xavier’s guidance, Iceman always restrained himself from using mutant powers exceeding level four. However, recent events have caused Iceman to constantly use critical level-five mutant abilities in extreme conditions.

Therefore, Professor Xavier was more concerned. If there were any problems with Iceman’s abilities, the entire Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters could be frozen the next moment, and no one would be able to escape.

Da Da Da-

Just as Professor Xavier and Storm were talking about Iceman and the missing Jean Grey, a footstep sounded behind them. Then, a voice came from behind them, “It seems like you guys were talking about me?”

It was Iceman’s voice, and he was walking towards them with his girlfriend, Shadowcat Kitty. Looking at Iceman’s complexion, he had indeed fully recovered.

“Well, we were just talking about how you’ve been in your room for so many days, it’s time to come out and enjoy some sunshine,” Storm said with a smile when she saw Iceman and Shadowcat.

“Iceman, how do you feel now? About the changes you mentioned earlier in your abilities, have you figured it out now?” After Storm greeted them, Professor Xavier asked directly.

“Um… I feel okay. As for the changes I mentioned earlier, I don’t think it’s a bad thing. Because… you see…” Upon hearing Professor Xavier’s question, Iceman blinked a few times and answered.

It seemed that Iceman had recovered from whatever had caused him to use his level-five mutant abilities in extreme conditions. However, his new ability changes had aroused the attention of Professor Xavier, who wanted to make sure Iceman was safe and in control of his powers.

The conversation continued as they discussed Iceman’s abilities and the situation with the missing Jean Grey.

As Iceman spoke, he slowly extended his right hand. As soon as he finished speaking, a bright ice-blue light emerged from his right hand. Professor Charles and Storm could feel the extreme cold emanating from the ice-blue light.

“Can you feel it?” Iceman asked, holding the ice-blue light in his hand and looking at Professor Charles and Storm. From his tone, it was evident that he was not as calm as he appeared to be.

After the ice-blue light appeared in Iceman’s right hand, Professor Charles and Storm were already staring at it intently. When Iceman asked his question, they both looked surprised.

“Is this… Absolute Zero?!”

“Energy manipulation at Level 5 Mutant?!”

After confirming their senses, Storm and Professor Charles couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise. They had sensed the power of Iceman’s signature move, Absolute Zero, from the ice-blue light in his hand.

To unleash this move, one must first reach Level 5 Mutant. Although Iceman was capable of using Absolute Zero before, he could never have used it so effortlessly.

Hoo ~ Pū!

Just as Professor Charles and Storm were whispering, the ice-blue light in Iceman’s right hand trembled slightly before disappearing with a muffled sound. A flash of ice-blue light also flickered in Iceman’s eyes, but it quickly vanished.

“This is the ability I discovered after my full recovery. Isn’t it a good thing?” Iceman waved his hand and looked at Professor Charles with a smile.

After being hit by Aether Particle energy at close range, Iceman felt that something was wrong with his body when he returned to the X-MEN base.

He then fell into a deep coma without any apparent cause, and Professor Charles and the others treated him with Recovery Serum, thinking that he was severely injured. However, when Iceman woke up, he said that he felt a change in his mutant abilities.

Now, Iceman has finally shown Professor Charles and the others what his new ability is like.
