Marvel's Superman Chapter 46

'Hellfire Club ...'
Luke knew this organization. Its establishment could be traced back to the 18th century.
It mainly recorded and investigated some mysterious events, such as vampires, werewolves, and witches.
Later, it gradually became a social place for elites from all walks of life, especially inviting famous scientists and influential rich and famous people.
On the whole, Hellfire Club at this stage was quite normal.
It was not until a German scientist named Sebastian Shaw joined that it became a premier organization for exceptional people - mutants.
However, the Hellfire Club occasionally invited the world's top people. For example, Howard Stark, who later presided over S.H.I.E.L.D. and took Stark Industries to greater heights.
"You've been hiding there for so long, aren't you going to come out?"
Luke put down his book, his right hand clenched into a fist, his muscles tense, and apparent traces of a vein emerged.
Boom!
His fist swung at the air. The air seemed to be squeezed by a heavy force, and a sound of a shocking explosion erupted!
Visible to the naked eye, the air rippled like a cannonball shot, tons of terrifying power poured out!
Outside the bedroom, the open-air balcony was suddenly torn apart. Rubble went flying!
A transparent figure was lifted off by the aftershock and smashed heavily against the wall, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
"You're a mutant too!?"
Hearing this question, Luke chuckled and shook his head, saying, "Not everyone who shows something special is your compatriot, standing in your side. "
"Do you know the existence of mutants?"
At the corner, a thin man with a black scar on his face stood up and stared at Luke with his cold eyes.
That punch formed a booming wave of air, like a solid cannonball smashing out. The mere aftermath of the wave lifted him off the ground.

In terms of physical strength alone, the skinny man had never seen a more terrible existence than this Allied Captain.
"I'm curious, who sent you? Sebastian Shaw?"
Luke didn't answer the other's questions but threw out a name.
Sebastian Shaw, the Black King of the Hellfire Club, had the powerful ability to absorb energy and turn it to his advantage.
If the skinny man came from Hellfire Club, he was sure to have heard of this name.
"Do you know Mr. Shaw? Well, Captain Cavill, it doesn't matter how much you know about mutants. "
The thin man smiled coldly, and his figure abruptly became distorted and blurred.
Like putting on a layer of optical camouflage cloak, he disappeared instantly!
…
The luxurious bedroom was so quiet that one could hear a needle falling on the ground.
Luke stood expressionlessly. His white bathrobe opened, revealing his solid muscles.
He wasn't surprised that mutants would appear in World War II.
According to the timeline, the leader of one of the two future mutant camps, Magneto, who founded the Brotherhood, should still be a child—still imprisoned in the dreadful Auschwitz concentration camp.
Young Magneto once met a crazy Nazi scientist, Sebastian Shaw, who later became the Black King.
This person firmly believed in the 'Aryan Master Race' theory concocted by SS leader Hitler. He agreed with Hitler's extremist approach of cleaning up the inferior race and creating a superior race.
After returning from studying in Britain, Shaw, who specialized in genetic engineering, was quickly recruited into the German army's scientific department.
As his talent gradually reveals itself, he slowly gains importance and gets involved in managing concentration camp projects, becoming a ruthless 'scientific' butcher.
All the imprisoned Jews were Sebastian Shaw's living experiment subjects.
He tried to study the human genetic code's profound meaning and thus find the key to unlock the evolution gates.

It was one day in 1944 that changed Sebastian Shaw's fate.
On a rainy afternoon, as usual, he stood by the window with his coffee. He watched the Jews and Polish people being herded into camps like cattle.
A young boy attracted Sebastian Shaw's attention.
He watched with his own eyes as the other party cried out in anger while using both his hands to twist an iron gate from a distance. Several strong soldiers couldn't stop it.
Sebastian felt like he had found the key to unlocking the door to human evolution!
Later, he did learn that there is a superior race of people on Earth, superior to human beings, unique to the Germanic race!
They were called 'mutants' - the name came from an American dwarf scientist.
When Sebastian Shaw was studying in England, he had read the papers written by the other party. The dwarf scientist firmly believed that many people in the world were more potent and more talented than human beings.
So, Sebastian Shaw launched a series of studies on the still-young Magneto and finally discovered the mystery of the mutant's ability -
The X-Gene!
A string of divine secret codes that seem to be implanted in the human body by the Gods!
'The Hellfire Club mutants came in to rescue Mussolini? It seems that Hydra had finally noticed me. '
