Why pretend to be Magneto?
Yes, you will have to wait for Apocalypse to find you and enhance your abilities voluntarily.
In this parallel universe, there exists Apocalypse, a mutant.
Apocalypse is one of the oldest mutants, born in the 1st Dynasty of Egypt around 3000 BCE.
Because it can continuously transfer its consciousness to other mutants, and also accumulate and inherit their abilities.
Therefore, he became one of the most powerful mutants.
In George's view, his comprehensive abilities are nearly on par with the level of the Father of Heaven, with no significant weaknesses. To kill him would require absolute overwhelming power.
This mutant was originally the ruler of ancient Egypt, but he was betrayed when his consciousness was transferred into the body of a mutant with regenerative abilities.
He has been sealed beneath the pyramid he created for centuries, sleeping for many years.
And now, he should have been inadvertently awakened.
One of the mutant abilities that Apocalypse inherits is particularly important to him, and that is the ability to greatly enhance the abilities of other mutants.
Following the normal development, after Apocalypse's emergence, if he wants to reassert control over the entire world and become its ruler, he will seek out powerful mutants to recruit under his command.
And Magneto is the most worth capturing one.
That is also why he has to pretend to be Magneto.
As long as he restrains all his power and only releases the mutant abilities similar to those of Magneto, then Apocalypse won't detect any abnormalities and will regard him as Magneto.
This way, he can effortlessly complete the development of his abilities.
In terms of strength, his strength is definitely stronger than Apocalypse. It's not a big problem to capture him alive.
But the key lies in the fact that Apocalypse possesses a stronger mind power than Professor X. Even if he manages to capture him, it will be difficult for him to force control Apocalypse to develop his abilities.
And making too much noise would attract the attention of the Time Police, which would be inconvenient.
It's better to pretend to be Magneto, allowing Apocalypse to willingly develop his abilities for him. If the plan fails, it's not too late to use force.
"Good evening, Henrik, what are we doing here?"
The town's police, having regained their senses, greeted George, who had taken on the disguise of Magneto. After the greeting, they noticed the bow and rope he was holding and looked at him with a confused expression.
George smiled:
"You guys weren't just saying you were going to hunt rabbits in the forest, were you?"
"Yes, we came to hunt rabbits, and we will give you one when we catch them."
The lead police officer immediately slapped his head, as if he had just remembered something, and continued to advance into the forest with the rest of his officers.
After the police had left, George picked up a handful of grass from the ground, blew on it, and cast a transformation spell. The grass instantly transformed into ten or so corpses.
These corpses were exactly the same as the ones left by the police, including even Magneto's wife and daughter.
After setting up everything, he closed his eyes and began to make subtle adjustments to his body.
To pretend to be Magneto, mere appearance and abilities are not enough. It might deceive ordinary people, but it would be difficult to fool Apocalypse and Caliban who is currently doing black market business.
In his universe, there are also mutants named Caliban. Initially, he was with Professor X and Wolverine for survival. Recently, after learning Double Decker Punch, he cured Caliban's albinism.
Before starting this plan, he found Caliban for special experimentation.
If he only uses the transformation spell to look like Magneto, when Caliban uses his powers to track, he will still be tracked to him, not Magneto.
So he has to make some slight adjustments to his soul to ensure disguise.
"Done!"
After complete adjustment, George picked up Magneto's wife and daughter who had been transformed by the transformation spell, and his face was full of a painful expression.
"My wife, my daughter, you died so miserably. I will definitely seek revenge on society, on humanity, to avenge you!"
About ten minutes later, he stopped the performance and stood up from the ground.
Because he had sensed Caliban's ability inspection just then.
Caliban can only detect mutants, not ordinary people. So when searching for Magneto, he naturally can only see what George had just performed.
As long as he conveys the message that Magneto's wife and daughter were killed, and that Magneto killed a group of police in revenge, it will basically match up.
At the same time, the mutant black market.
The Morph had just rescued Nightcrawler from underground and took him out of the arena. She placed a stack of money on the table in front of the black market boss Kaleban.
"As usual, get him a pass."
In 1973, she listened to Professor X and refrained from killing Trask and the President. As a result, mutants became known to the world, and the government indeed recognized the legitimacy of their existence.
But that was just a superficial phenomenon. There were still many human forces and institutions that secretly captured and studied mutants.
So she transformed into a lone hero, saving her mutant compatriots all over the world, and became the hero in the hearts of many mutants.
"Oh oh oh, it's great to see you. Although that's not your own face."
Kaleban, seeing the old customer appear, said with a slight teasing tone.
"May I know, sir, where you wish to send this gentleman?"
"I don't know, I don't care. I just saved him, the rest is up to him."
Morph didn't get angry but just shrugged her shoulders indifferently.
She is not Magneto, nor is she Professor X. She just does her best to help the mutants who need help and does not impose her will upon them.
Kaleban nodded in approval, showing a trace of admiration on his face.
Although he was a money-loving black market businessman, he also admired what Morph did in his heart.
Because if he ever fell into human hands, Morph would also go to save him.
He gestured to one of his mutant accomplices, who immediately pulled Nightcrawler aside and started taking pictures to help him get a pass.
"By the way, I'll tell you for free that just as you entered, I felt your old friend. Oh, if he still counts as your friend."
Kaleban picked up the money from the table and sniffed it:
"Erik Lensherr, I saw his wife and daughter died by his side, along with the bodies of a group of police. I believe the news will report on it shortly."
"But Kaleban admires you, so he's willing to tell you this message in advance."
Upon hearing about the death of Magneto's wife and daughter, Morph's pupils instantly contracted, and she turned to Nightcrawler immediately and asked:
"How far can you teleport?"
"As long as I have seen or been to a place, I can teleport there."
Nightcrawler sat on the bench, holding his forged pass, and replied blankly with a confused expression.
Morph picked up Nightcrawler directly from the bench:
"Are you really wanting to join me? I agree, teleport me to New York."
She needs to find Professor X quickly, then have him locate Magneto's exact location and go together to soothe Magneto, otherwise the world might get into chaos again.
