Becoming Supreme In Marvel World

"I have no money, nor anything of value to you. Would you believe I just washed up in this city when me ship was destroyed?" Cain replied.

"Yo man you tryin' to be funny? You don't just wash up from a shipwreck in New York. I think you're tryin' to skip on giving up your cash and your watch. Save yo breath we can do this the easy way or the hard way. What's it gonna be?" The taller man with the biggest afro asked.

"I can assure you that whatever outcome you are thinking of will not come to pass. Regardless of whether we do this the easy way or the hard way it will still end with me standing victoriously over your bloody corpses. How about you answer some of my questions and we go our separate ways hmm? No need for bloodshed or senseless violence."

"You sound proper educated and shit so you must be rich. But now you been talking smack to me an' the boys we'll do this the hard way. They will find you corpse tomorrow floating in the Hudson River with a Glasgow smile." With that the lead afro and his goons charged at Cain.

The fight if it could be called that, was over even before it had begun with the three recently deceased people hitting the ground simultaneously. Three sharp fatal blows and they were dead. One with crushed ribs and internal organs, one with a broken neck and the last had his head explode like a watermelon with a straight punch.

It was to be expected really as from what could be seen from the wheeled vehicle Cain narrowly avoided earlier, the style of dress and speech of the assailants he seemed to have traveled at least six centuries into the past.

All humans in Cain's time were genetically modified without exception. When humanity first encountered an alien species they proved to be hostile and the ground delegation were slaughtered by them. They were stronger then humans and where able to use mental powers to create illusions and confuse people. An extreme race of herbivores that had evolved and wiped out all predators on their planet just taking their first steps into space. The decision was made that humanity as a whole had to be better as what would happen if we met other races with the same or better technology and they also proved hostile.

Technological progress can sometimes take decades or sometimes a flash of inspiration can solve one thing leading into entire new avenues of research. Build from the base and work the way up was the motto, so radical experiments in biotechnology began and huge strides were made constantly in genetic engineering. Advances in DNA resequencing allowed those undergone the procedure to be more agile, vastly superior intellect, durable and roughly five times as strong as an average human. It didn't stop there as heart muscles were twice as strong, lung efficiency was doubled and bone density greatly increased to resist breaking. The blood contained platelets capable of regenerating from any disease or toxin and their bodies regeneration rapidly increase. All of the natural senses were amplified to be able to hear a pin drop from a mile away and eyes like a hawk. Eventually after decades of research the aging process had been halted to the point where one could live forever. All of these were made to be hereditary to strengthen humanity as a whole. Eventually other people started experiments for cosmetic reasons and it wasn't uncommon to see people with animal traits like furry ears or tail or radical new hair colours like bright pink or luminous green. Some liked to splice DNA even further and had eyes that could see in different spectrum as well as other traits. The meaning of the word human had become subjective.

This still wasn't enough however as some of the scientists wanted to create people with special abilities which is where Cain's parents came into the picture. In an ancient meteor impact site while looking for exotic metals, some very advanced genetic material was found. As Cain's father was head of genetic research for the entire empire it was sent to him to study. Being the narcissistic megalomaniac that he was after studying and finding some unique properties with it he integrated it into the fertilized foetus of his wife also a highly respected scientist while covering it up saying that it was too degraded and the gestation failed.

"Boy I have named you Cain after the man cursed by God in the bible as I am your god and you are a forbidden existence. Titanus after the ancient Greek titans created by Gaia or you can think of her as Earth itself and Universe, because with all our power and knowledge this universe is ours for the taking. Go out and conquer like the god amongst men that you where made to be!"

Personally Cain didn't like the name at it was too pretentious and garish. With all that said his father was disappointed as Cain didn't display any supernatural abilities from the other evolved DNA and so forced him into the super soldier training from birth so he could be unstoppable in combat and outside he made him learn all the military battles, major events which help shape cultures and countries and technological inventions going all the way bad to the stone age. Cain had long surpassed what most people could consider doctorates and PhD's in almost every subject to man. Thus with his intelligence how could Cain not know that if he showed and supernatural abilities he would be dissected and cloned so he chose to hide them and the changes he went through.

So a normal human has a reaction speed of 215 milliseconds, but with the vast genetic engineering and evolved DNA Cain's was estimated to be between 20-30 milliseconds when in combat or similar high stress situations. The reaction times where so fast that he was able to think, react and see things in slow motion.

Naturally three untrained normal humans stood no chance at all and were dead before their brains could process Cain move.

"Well the first thing to do when behind enemy lines is to gather intel and recon the immediate area to see if there are any threats, gather supplies to survive and find a shelter to lay low. Granted I am not behind enemy lines but I need information of when and where I am so I can blend in as well as food or the means to get it. Maybe these guys have currency I could acquire".

With that Cain started rummaging through the bodies taking all the things with numbers on and slipped them into his uniform. With that done Cain took out his rifle adjusted the settings and fired three shots to vaporize the bodies and placed it back into storage.

=============================

Hi again. The old saying that everybody is their own worse critic is definitely true with me. The amount of times I rewrote, deleted and altered these two chapters is at least half a dozen times each. Eventually I realised that I was never going to be entirely happy and just posted them and hope I can do better in the future. I am aware that there is a lot of explanation in this chapter which I did purposely to get it out of the way in one lump and can get on with the story after. Of course Cain's abilities haven't been full explained or the changes from the other DNA but this will come in the future.
