Chapter 224 - 223. Hexagonal Titan
----
For several days straight, Nolan, alongside his two research partners Connors and Stern, remained deep within the Osborn Genetics Division lab systematically dissecting and analyzing Inhuman physiology.
Even Norman Osborn occasionally rolled up his sleeves to assist.
The workload was immense. The genetic diversity of the Inhumans was off the charts. They weren’t just mutants they were the twin mirror of the X-Gene. Something alien, yet eerily familiar.
"Separate the cryokinetics, aerokinetics, and mental projection subjects," Nolan said calmly, scrolling through the test logs. "And this one... interesting. Petrification through direct eye contact."
He smirked. "I’m not risking that in my own eyes but this could make an excellent Medusa Squad."
Even with overlapping powers, Nolan noticed something fascinating: the same genetic fragment, a unique strand capable of airflow manipulation, appeared in both Inhuman and mutant test samples.
It was nearly identical to the one found in Storm’s genome.
"This must be the ’Origin X Gene’... the gift left behind by the Celestials."
Nolan began absorbing key genetic sequences mostly enhancements to his existing arsenal:
Enhanced breath (a fusion of Storm’s weather manipulation and Iceman’s cryogenesis)
