Chapter 23: All Round Evolution
Three Days Later
Tony awoke with a sharp inhale, his body jarring back to life.
The pod opened with a soft hiss, releasing him from its confines. As he staggered out, a strange sensation filled him.
"Status report, M.A.R.V.E.L.," he muttered, his voice hoarse but steady.
"Analyzing now," M.A.R.V.E.L responded.
After a brief pause, the AI spoke again. "Your DNA has undergone a complete transformation, sir.
The serum has enhanced every aspect of your cellular structure.
You are now physically superior to Captain America in strength, speed, and durability. Additionally, there is something else."
Tony raised an eyebrow. "Go on."
"Your DNA has also acquired properties similar to the X-gene," M.A.R.V.E.L reported.
"Upon further analysis, the genetic makeup bears a strong resemblance to that of Wanda Maximoff, whose DNA you used as the base for the transformation.
However, while your genetics are similar to hers, there are notable differences. Your body has adapted uniquely, enhancing certain traits while stabilizing others."
Tony frowned, processing the information. "So, what does that mean?"
"It means, sir, that while you possess abilities akin to those of Wanda Maximoff, your genetic makeup has created a more stable form of those powers. Additionally, there have been aesthetic changes."
Tony caught a glimpse of himself in the reflection of the pod.
His hair, once a solid dark brown, now bore streaks of white, mingling with the black. He ran a hand through it, noting how it seemed to shimmer in the artificial light.
"M.A.R.V.E.L, what else?" he asked, still staring at his reflection.
"Your enhanced abilities are now based on this new genetic structure, forming the foundation for your superhuman capabilities. All of your physical attributes have improved, and your hair has turned white in certain areas due to the genetic shift. These enhancements should allow you to perform at a level far beyond human capacity."
Tony smirked, stepping out of the pod. He felt stronger, faster, more alive than ever before.
"Perfect," he muttered, exhilarated by the changes coursing through him. He would need to test the limits of his new abilities.
Tony flexed his fingers, feeling the new power coursing through his veins. He moved to the testing area, eager to see the full extent of his abilities.

The Testing Phase
His first test was simple: speed. The sensors blinked on as Tony sprinted across the room. He covered the distance in less than a second.
"Superhuman speed confirmed," M.A.R.V.E.L. noted, the data streaming across the monitors. Tony smirked. "This feels... good."
Next, he tested his strength, lifting a reinforced titanium beam with ease. His muscles barely strained. Punching through reinforced steel? It shattered under his fist like glass.
He continued running through more tests: reflexes, endurance, and his mental acuity.
Every sense had been heightened. His mind worked faster, thoughts crystallizing with clarity he'd never known before.
"This is beyond what I expected," Tony said, exhilarated.
"Your enhancements far surpass even that of Captain Rogers," M.A.R.V.E.L. confirmed. "You are now capable of feats beyond any known super soldier."
Tony's mind raced with possibilities. This was just the beginning.
He glanced toward the next stage of his lab, where blueprints for an even grander project lay waiting.
The serum had been successful, but now, it was time to move on to the next phase of his plan.
Standing in the center of his lab, Tony's eyes gleamed with ambition. "It's time to change the game. Let's begin the next phase. But first, there's pending work to do."
"Show me the most recent messages from Fury."
