American Comics: Multiverse of Madness

11. Twisted Minds

Alex had already tested the power of Iron Man's suit. Although it couldn't compare to Iron Man's suit in the main universe, the particle beam weapon was still a formidable weapon that hadn't been fully developed in his previous life. However, even with such a power, it still wasn't enough to take on Emma Frost, who had transformed her entire body into diamond.

"Stand up, Emma. I know you're not hurt." Alex suppressed his anger and took a few steps forward. "To be honest, when I first read about you in the newspapers, I mentally prepared myself. But guess what? I still can't tolerate what you've done."

"Of course, you wouldn't understand the brilliance of my actions, human. You're just an inferior species. What right do you have to comprehend my thoughts?" Emma stood up, her entire body shimmering in the dim light as it transformed into diamond.

Without hesitation, Alex pulled out a submachine gun from behind him and aimed at the White Queen, opening fire. Countless bullets sprayed out, striking her body and producing a series of sharp, metallic 'ding-ding-dang-dang' sounds.

"What's wrong, oh noble and superior mutant? Has your telepathy stopped working?" Alex's tone was filled with sarcasm as he watched Emma being suppressed by his firepower.

In his memories, Emma Frost was a complex character in the Marvel universe. Initially a villain who co-founded the Hellfire Club, she later joined the X-Men and even briefly wielded the Phoenix Force during a major event.

With such an impressive track record, Alex dared not be careless when facing her.

Emma Frost was not just a simple telepath. She possessed telepathic abilities similar to Charles Xavier's while also having high proficiency in them. She was considered a "World-Class telepath" and an "Omega-Class telepath." Even Professor X held her telepathic skills in high regard. Moreover, she was recognized as one of the five telepaths on the planet who could perfectly and seamlessly alter thoughts.

In the comics, Emma even defeated Professor X using her telepathic abilities, making her arguably more powerful in certain respects. However, Professor X had the advantages of higher popularity and more frequent appearances.

Additionally, Emma was a secondary mutant, possessing not only telepathy but also the ability to transform her entire body into diamond, much like Colossus. This gave her formidable close combat and defensive capabilities, making her even more dangerous. If there was a single weakness to her abilities, it was that she could only use one power at a time. In her diamond form, she couldn't use her telepathy.

Of course, this information was deduced by Alex based on the White Queen from other universes. However, in this world, Emma probably didn't even have a tenth of her abilities.

"I went through almost all the news about you and gathered many rumors. What surprised me the most was finding intelligence about you in Nick Fury's safe house."

Alex emptied his bullets and casually put the submachine gun away. He looked at the unharmed White Queen and smiled.

"Who would have thought that Emma Frost, the great philanthropist and living saint, was in reality a madwoman conducting human experiments, modifying pregnant women and infants, and trying to activate their telepathic abilities. Emma, you can continue deceiving yourself, but you know deep down that no matter what you do, you can't regain your telepathy."

"You're lying!" Emma screamed as she stood up, nearly stumbling in her agitation. "I will get it back! I will."

"Is that so? But how long has it been since you last heard someone else's thoughts? Three years? Five years? Even longer? You're just using these pathetic methods to control these children. As Pietro said, you can't see that their souls have entangled with psychic energy, turning them into emotionless, undying monsters."

Although it was initially just a guess, the intelligence in Nick Fury's safe house confirmed Alex's suspicions.

In this world, like Professor X, Emma awakened telepathy. However, their fates diverged significantly—both suffered from multiple personality disorders due to excessive reception of others' memories, resulting in numerous personalities crowding their minds and driving them insane.

This was a pain all telepaths might face. Although often glossed over in the comics, it wasn't entirely without precedent. For example, in another universe, Professor X experienced a similar ordeal.

During a conflict involving mutants, Wolverine injured Magneto. Enraged, Magneto tried to extract all the adamantium from Wolverine's body. This act infuriated Professor X, who forcefully entered Magneto's mind using telepathy. However, this intrusion met with severe resistance from Magneto's negative emotions—anger, sorrow, and pain—which flowed back into Professor X's mind through telepathy.

This led to the creation of Onslaught, a being that nearly destroyed all superheroes.

In this world, such side effects were even more pronounced. The minds of people were filled with various emotions, almost overwhelming Emma's brain with countless personalities.

Subsequently, Emma awakened her diamond transformation ability. Perhaps due to the conflict between her powers, she gradually lost her telepathic abilities. Initially, her mind became quieter, and eventually, she couldn't even actively read others' memories. Ultimately, she completely lost her telepathy, retaining only her diamond form.

If that was all, it might have been a blessing in disguise for Emma. But losing telepathy didn't mean her mental illness was cured. Without telepathy to suppress it, the personalities surged, constantly tormenting her, and even losing control over her diamond form.

In the end, she went mad. She decided to reclaim her abilities, targeting newborns and pregnant women. To avoid detection by President X and the Avengers, she established a church and a welfare institute, appearing on television to give speeches and presenting herself as a compassionate philanthropist.

Coupled with her refined and beautiful appearance, politicians and corporations soon fell under her charm, giving her the green light at every turn. No one knew the twisted, grotesque soul hidden beneath her beautiful exterior.
