...
Tony's battle plan is straightforward. First, let the Wolverine initiate the attack openly, attracting fire. After all, the Wolverine is virtually indestructible, and ordinary people are no match for him.
If mutants were involved, ordinary mutant clones would not be able to defeat Wolverine. If they encountered Magneto's clones, Tony would shoot them from the air with non-metallic bullets.
One fights on the ground in close combat, the other engages from the air at a distance.
Taking advantage of the fact that both parties are occupying the base's attention, George sneaks in secretly, kills Sander Rees first, destroys the research materials, and then comes out to help the two in battle.
Even if they lose in the end and have to retreat, as long as they kill Sander Rees and destroy all research materials, then this operation will also be successful.
George approved of this battle plan.
With the combined abilities of one hundred and one mutants with various powers, it is not wise to launch a frontal attack. Their abilities complement each other, and there are also the guards who are defending the base.
As long as he can catch Sander Rees, his telepathic and mind control abilities would allow him to extract the memories of Rees, locating and destroying all the research materials. This would prevent any potential future problems like the emergence of Rees' clones.
He has no intention of using those research materials to create his own batch of cloned mutants in the future.
On the one hand, those cloned mutants have little of their own thoughts, and they rely on computer control entirely.
In the future, if they encounter enemies like Ultron or high-level hackers, their control may be seized before the battle even begins, turning them into their own enemies.
On the other hand, it's not an easy task to research and manufacture cloned mutants. Even with all the research materials, he would still need to establish a proper research facility.
Since they have established a research facility, it is bound to take time and effort to maintain it. Otherwise, their labor results may be stolen by other forces.
And with that energy, it would be more practical to focus on improving one's own magic.
His goal for today is to completely eliminate the Rees problem, kill all cloned mutants, and publicly destroy all related technology.
But secretly, he will still keep a copy of the data in case he needs it for future use.
For example, if he needs a staff core, he can clone some of Phoenix's hair or something similar, and the hair from the clones should have some effect, possibly better than Professor X's.
Within the experimental base.
"Boss, Wolverine and Logan are attacking!"
Commander Donald ran over in a panic, catching the eye of Rees.
"There's no need to be panic-stricken, just a mere Wolverine, nothing to worry about."
The fact that Wolverine and Logan managed to find them and launch a direct attack indeed surprised him.
However, just an aging Wolf, whose abilities can only be regained through pharmaceuticals, is there anything to fear?
And now, with the beauty beside him, he could not help but feel embarrassed and demoted in the eyes of others.
"No, boss, you should see for yourself!"
Commander Donald handed a tablet to Rees, who looked at the screen and his pupil shrank immediately.
"How can he have recovered?"
The tablet was connected to the base's surveillance system, and at that moment, it showed a young Wolverine fighting the guards.
While it was billed as a battle, the situation was heavily one-sided with no guards able to withstand the might of Wolverine at his peak.
Modern firearms are useless against Wolverine, and once close, the weapons are broken along with the users. Even rocket launchers or similar heavy weapons can only put Wolverine on the ground for a while, and the key issue is not always hitting the mark.
If the guards were fearless and fought with their lives, they might cause some trouble for Wolverine.
But the guards are also human beings. If they face an indestructible being like Wolverine, their mental state will collapse quickly, which leads to the defense line collapsing at an alarming speed.
That's why Commander Donald is so panicked. If they don't take measures soon, Wolverine will reach them.
"Mr. Rees, it looks like your base is in trouble. Will it affect me?"
Black Widow pretended to be scared, but in reality, she was thinking that if the base was attacked, she might not have to wait until night to get her hands on the research materials.
Rees responded with a confident look upon hearing this:
"Madam, please rest assured. It's just a mere Wolverine. Please go rest in my room for a while. I'll deal with this minor issue first, and then we can discuss the cooperation in detail."
"Okay...I'll be waiting for you in the room..."
Black Widow made a licking motion with her tongue to her lips, then followed the guards to Dr. Rees' room.
After Black Widow left, Rees' expression instantly turned fierce.
"What a fool! You're inviting death on yourself, and today, you'll know what it's like to suffer more than life itself!"
Turning quickly, he hurried to the beginning of the mutant cloning chamber, commanding the staff over there:
"Start the Magneto clone immediately."
With a single command from Rees, nine of the hundred incubation chambers were immediately opened below.
Nine identical younger versions of Magneto emerged from the incubation chambers and, following the computer's instructions, advanced to engage Wolverine.
When choosing which mutants to clone, he did not clone just one of each; instead, he prioritized cloning those with stronger abilities.
For example, among the hundred cloned mutants below, there are ten Black Widows, ten Professor X, ten Phoenix, and ten Magneto.
Others like Wolverine, Sabretooth, Red Deviants, White Queen, Cyclops, Cyclops and Storm are cloning two to three.
Because these clones are much weaker than their originals, the strongest ones are only about as powerful as level three mutants. Therefore, they need to coordinate various abilities to launch an attack.
Although the magnetic control of the Magneto clones is only hundreds of pounds, when nine of them join forces, they can definitely keep Wolverine trapped and without any chance to counterattack.
As expected, once the nine Magneto clones reached the battlefield, the one-sided battle turned around immediately.
Through the surveillance on the tablet, it could be seen that the nine Magneto clones coordinated their magnetic forces simultaneously, and Wolverine was immediately pinned against the wall. The steel bars in the wall were then pulled out and inserted into his body, firmly securing him in place.
As for why Les could obtain the mutant genes of Black Widow and Red Demon, it has to do with his father's former allegiance to General William Stryker.
After the first battle of mutants, Black Widow's body was taken away by the CIA and then handed over to General William Stryker.
Later, Stryker, in order to create Sentinels, killed a group of mutants including Red Demon, acquiring the majority of their genes.
After the 1973 White House incident, Stryker was sentenced to life imprisonment by the United States government for espionage.
As a liaison from the U.S. Department of Defense stationed at Stryker Industries, William Stryker obtained all of Stryker's mutant gene data and began to form his own team to independently research mutant genes.
After being defeated by X-Men, William Stryker took away all their data and began the mutant extinction plan, breeding new mutants.
Except for Apocalypse, who was directly transformed into powder by Phoenix at the time and therefore did not obtain his genes, William Stryker had most of the famous and well-known mutant gene data in his database and could clone them out.
