The next day, at the Stark Industries headquarters.
In the CEO's office.
Tony sat on his chair, staring blankly at the things placed on his desk.
A half-black skull.
The Growth Codex
Tony could tell without touching them that these things were definitely real bones, though a bit black and with some weird patterns on them. He looked up at the young man sitting next to him, whose face was normally relaxed but now had a rare look of discomfort.
"So... are you really that person? Jack Wayne?"
"If your old man doesn't know anyone else with that same name, then I must be the one."
Jack smiled lightly at Tony, saying lightly, "Of course, you can call me Jack."
"Although it's a bit impolite, I don't mind."
Ever since Tony last saw the other person, he had always felt that the other person was familiar. After that, he happened to look through his father's things and saw a picture of himself and another man.
Tony was very clear that among his father's remaining things, only this one photo of him and another man was important.
Afterwards, he began to investigate. However, Jack's identity was not known to the public. Tony wasn't easy to fool, In fact, Howard told him stories about Jack when he was a child and called him his best friend.
So he felt very complicated about his father's friend. When it comes to age, he should call him uncle.
"Are we just going to stare at each other like this?"
Jack picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip, saying calmly, "Or should we get straight to the point?"
Tony came back to his senses and looked again at the Growth Codex on the table, his brow furrowing. "Do you want me to help you study this... bone?"
"Strictly speaking, yes."
Jack put down the coffee and sighed, "To be more specific, I want you to find out the genetic code in this skull and fuse it with my genes.
This is not a simple task, and I can't think of anyone else who can do it but you."
"Then you think too high on me."
Tony couldn't help but pick up the Growth Codex, muttering to himself while carefully examining it. "Because to be honest, biology is not my expertise. I am not sure if I can help you. Even with our current technology, genetic fusion is still impossible."
"Please give it a try."
Jack also knew that although Tony was a genius, this was still quite difficult for him. The Growth Codex was the remains of an ancient Kryptonian that contained the potential genetic information for the Kryptonians.
But he had no choice.
If he wanted to strengthen his power and have the ability to protect himself in the approaching multiverse war, he must quickly fuse the Growth Codex and change into a Kryptonian body so that he can't limit himself when using the infinity stone's energies.
"I can try, but I can't guarantee absolute success."
"Just having you say that is enough."
When Jack heard this, he smiled and stood up. He then said, "I'll let you figure out the Growth Codex for now. Also, if you don't want the world to be in trouble, you shouldn't tell anyone else about this."
After speaking, he disappeared in a flash.
"..."
Tony looked at the Growth Codex in his hand and suddenly felt like he might have become bait.
.....
Jack entrusted the dangerous Growth Codex to Tony for research, of course not because he fully trusted him.
Firstly, only Tony could help him, and secondly...
The Red Queen's surveillance was everywhere, and she had already put the Growth Codex and Tony Stark on her watchlist. If anything happened, Jack would know in an instant.
Actually, there was another person who could help, Dr. Helen Cho from Avengers: Age of Ultron.
Her Regeneration Cradle was used to repair and regenerate damaged tissue, Perhaps there was a way to fuse the Life Code with his own tissue cells.
But the problem was...he had Red Queen check and found out that at this time, Helen Cho was still a beginner who had just entered college. Although she had shown great talent in biology, she obviously couldn't help him.
Therefore, he could only turn to Tony for help.
Back home, it was already noon. Jack quickly made himself a simple lunch and sat on the living room sofa, entering the Multiverse Salvage Pool.
He hadn't been there in a while, and he'd gotten a lot of chances, so he wanted to try his luck.
Even though his luck on Earth had never been good.
Lifting up the salvage net, he came to the edge of the Salvage pool and randomly put the net into the water, stirring aimlessly.
"Even if I can't get the Rare Equipment, as long as I can get something useful," muttered Jack while stirring. There was no way around it. This pool was full of everything, like a garbage dump for the entire multiverse.
Turning his head to look at the corner behind him, it was piled up with a bunch of useless stuff.
When he turned his head to look at the corner behind him, he saw that it was a bunch of useless stuff.
After three minutes, he lifted up the salvage net.
"Hmm?"
In the net, there was a quietly lying...
Movie ticket?
Jack curiously picked up the movie ticket. Oh, it's even an IMAX 3D movie, but the movie name on it made him even more confused.
"DCEU Family Fun?"
At this moment, a piece of information appeared in Jack's mind. In just a moment, he understood the purpose of this movie ticket.
"Oh, I see," he said to himself.
After digesting this information, Jack fully realized the use of this thing.
This thing could allow him to travel to the DC Universe unlimited times but with a time limit. Each time, he could stay there for three months, and after three months, he would be forced to return. If he wanted to travel again, he would have to wait another three months.
It sounded very tempting, as he could do many things in three months. The DC Universe had many good things he wanted, such as the Speed Force, Growth Codex, Mother Boxes, the Anti-Life Equation, Trident of Neptune, and Wonder Woman...
Wait, something doesn't seem right.
Anyway, under the temptation of these treasures, Jack almost couldn't resist using this movie ticket on the spot.
Fortunately, he resisted because a small warning in the instructions reminded him.
The time and location of travel cannot be selected.
