Marvel: Silver Superman in Mutant Academy

On the eve of the third X-Men battle, Carl West, a new student at the Mutant Academy, found himself somewhat unsettled. He was keenly aware of the perilous nature of their world. With Magneto's perpetual mischief-making and the looming threats of alien invasions and malevolent Celestials, danger seemed to lurk around every corner. The sinister Sentinel program, devised to eradicate all mutants, had already been set into motion. Meanwhile, neighboring dimensions harbored beings like Dormammu, poised for invasion. And looming on the horizon was Thanos, with his ambitions to enact universal "family planning." Despite the presence of stalwart heroes such as the Hulk and Iron Man, poised to defend the world, the specter of global conflict still promised untold casualties. "So, I suppose I'll have a think about it once I'm transformed into a Silver Superman," Carl remarked casually, reclining on the academy grounds and soaking in the comforting warmth of the sun, having recently assimilated the template of a Superman. ******** *THIS IS A TRANSLATION* Marvel: Silver Superman, Starts with Mutant Academy 美漫:白银大超,变种人学院开始 This is a translation of Chinese Novel. *********** The cover photo is not mine.

Chapter 13 : Transformation!

Under Storm's explanation, the bystanders 'grasped' why Carl's power outburst was so formidable.

However, despite this understanding, many remained profoundly astounded.

His velocity surpassed that of ordinary individuals by more than tenfold, his grip strength measured at least five tons, and the force behind his punches exceeded fifteen tons upon impact.

In terms of sheer physical prowess, he surpassed all the mutant students in the crowd.

Even after their mutation, which typically endowed them with enhanced physical attributes—strength and endurance notably superior to those of ordinary humans—their abilities remained constrained, usually manifesting only a few times. After all, their mutations primarily centered around variant abilities.

Unless a mutant's physique underwent mutation-induced fortification, physical strength wouldn't be notably enhanced.

As this realization settled among the students below, a sense of equilibrium washed over them. Yes, their mutations relied on abilities. So what if one possessed extraordinary strength and speed?

Could they manipulate objects at will? Command plant life? Unleash chaos from afar with a fiery aura?

Just as these thoughts consoled the students, Cyclops and Storm were left flabbergasted.

They had reviewed Carl's admission dossier, which outlined his preliminary awakening in the energy department, categorized his ability as "Energy Rage," Level 1 Strength, and Potential Level 3.

His physical fitness was double that of an average person, with an average strengthening effect. Evaluation: Less than 10% chance of becoming an X-Men post-graduation.

Not every mutant at the Xavier School of Gifted Youngsters graduated to become an X-Men.

This required knowledge, combat experience, and comprehensive recognition of one's abilities.

However, this evaluation had taken place just five days after Carl's admission. Yet, in the span of five days, his physical strength had surged tenfold, reaching 1,300 kilograms and continuing to climb.

The speed of his improvement had caught Professor X's attention, making this freshman mutant a prime target.

Little did they know then, Carl had only displayed half of his strength.

This was precisely why Storm approached him after class that day.

Despite the abundance of mutant students, few possessed the combination of formidable combat abilities and stable powers required to become X-Men.

It had been only ten days since Carl's enrollment, and his physical strength had skyrocketed to several times that of ordinary individuals. Such rapid progress was truly astonishing.

Though there were mutants stronger than Carl at present, none matched his astounding speed. Quicksilver's velocity was so immense that it distorted one's perception of time. 

However, Quicksilver's speed stemmed from his ability, which, when activated, affected the surroundings and propelled him into a state of overspeed beyond physical constraints.

Carl, on the other hand, relied purely on physical prowess.

Contemplating this, Scott resolved to elevate the confidentiality level of Carl's information to the utmost following this class.

In a hushed tone, Scott addressed the group, "You've witnessed West's classmate's strength firsthand. My physical strength alone is no match."

"Next, we'll focus on ability training. I'll suppress my strength as Cyclops while attacking West. You may employ your abilities to resist or evade."

"Alright," Carl muttered unexpectedly, his training method shifting with just a single punch, causing him to pause momentarily before nodding in acknowledgment.

The power of energy rage remained largely untapped within Carl.

Now, as he drew in a deep breath, another force within him was summoned with a mere thought.

Similar to igniting gasoline, activating his ability caused certain unique genes in Carl's body to stir, unleashing a surge of formidable power.

Boom!

From a distance, it appeared as though Carl was engulfed in a substantial, transparent burst of energy, manifesting as a powerful spiral wind that billowed his clothes.

Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar!

The transparent gale, fueled by the power emanating from Carl, spun from bottom to top, causing his hair to whip wildly and enveloping an area of approximately one meter around him.

Observing this spectacle, Shadowcat's eyes sparkled with admiration. "That's so cool."

"It's fake. This guy's just putting on a show again," muttered a mutant who harbored affection for Shadowcat, a tinge of jealousy evident in his voice.

As onlookers marveled at Carl's transformation, even he couldn't help but feel taken aback.

For as the violent energy surged within him, his muscles swelled instantaneously, radiating with newfound strength.

In that moment, Carl sensed a remarkable surge in his power, easily multiplying by at least fivefold.

Yet, as this ability was unleashed, the erupted energy seemed to burn, rapidly depleting his physical stamina.

Meanwhile, Scott, stationed at a distance, pressed his hand against the frame, signaling his intention to attack.

"West, I'm moving in," he announced calmly.

With that, a bright red light illuminated his glasses, followed by two beams of crimson energy bursting forth with a resounding crack, piercing the air with fiery intensity.

The laser beams streaked across the distance, covering over 30 meters in the blink of an eye.

However, in the moment Cyclops unleashed his power, Carl's right foot shifted, and his strength surged.

Boom!

With a five-fold increase in strength, the ground ruptured, and indeed, the shoe on his right foot shattered.

Yet, Carl paid no mind to this. Propelled by the potent counterforce, he traversed over ten meters in an instant, evading the attack.

Boom!

The twin beams struck the spot where Carl had stood moments ago, causing the ground to erupt in a shower of fire and debris, creating a scorching shockwave.

In that instant, the two laser beams, resembling unwavering laser machines, swayed slightly with Scott's movements, sweeping relentlessly toward Carl in the distance.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Wherever the lasers passed, ice walls crumbled, the ground split, and the vines encircling the area, along with the swampy terrain, were obliterated.

Formidable.
