What about Fourth-Tier Mutants, who surpassed the Third-Tier?
It was clear that the Avengers' strongest members would have to be deployed.
But were there even higher tiers beyond Fourth-Tier?
The Diary didn't address this question, leaving Tony in the dark.
Yet even this simple, crude, and one-sided comparison allowed Tony to truly grasp the power of the X-Men as a group.
The Diary was right—they were indeed a superhero team on par with the Avengers.
Beyond that, Tony gained further insight into some individual X-Men through this wave of spoilers.
First was Cyclops.
Referencing the Diary's description of his strength and combining it with his codename, "Cyclops," Tony deduced that his ability likely involved shooting laser beams from his eyes, much like Superman's heat vision.
This power was undeniably formidable; even among the Avengers, few could match it.
Then there was Storm.
Though the Diary mentioned her for the first time here, it explicitly stated her ability to control the weather.
It wasn't just about controlling storms, as her nickname suggested!
This ability was far more formidable, considering the vast array of weather phenomena beyond storms.
Take lightning and thunder, for instance.
*Good heavens, isn't she basically a female Thor?*
No, upon closer comparison, if we focus solely on their powers, Storm actually surpasses Thor in certain aspects.
After all, Storm is a Mutant, a group of beings born with innate superpowers.
Though the Playboy doesn't know how these mutants acquire their powers, it's clear that Storm can unleash lightning without needing Mjolnir.
Thor, on the other hand, couldn't do this at all until his older sister, Hela, went berserk on him.
After Hela's death, no one knows if Thor can still wield lightning.
Furthermore, Thor can only control lightning, not hurricanes, torrential rains, or other weather phenomena. Compared to Storm, isn't he falling behind again?
Considering all this, even if Storm can't match Thor's power, she probably isn't far behind, right?
Remember, she's only a Third-Tier Mutant.
What about Professor X, a Fourth-Tier Mutant?
Well, everyone already knows a fair amount about Professor X.
Although he was killed by the Scarlet Witch in Universe 838, the diary also mentioned that Professor X could hold his own against her.
Furthermore, his position within the Illuminati, a council of the world's most powerful figures, proved he was no ordinary individual.
Now, it was confirmed: he was a Fourth-Tier Mutant.
And Professor X's ability was finally revealed: Mental Ability!
This was undoubtedly the most troublesome and difficult power to counter, even for someone like Tony.
After all, even a Playboy like Tony couldn't touch the mental realm. Only magic could likely reach that domain.
Take the Scarlet Witch, for instance, who had once controlled the minds of the Avengers.
So, just how powerful was Professor X's formidable Mental Ability?
The diary made it clear: it could sweep through the entire Avengers!
Only the corrupted Scarlet Witch could resist.
And how strong was the corrupted Scarlet Witch? She was a ruthless force who had slaughtered her way across the multiverse!
Strong!
Professor X was indeed incredibly strong!
His status and importance to Tony soared to unprecedented heights.
Yet Tony never imagined that even this was far from Professor X's limit.
Professor X's limit could instantly kill every person on Earth!
Shocked.
Tony couldn't help but be astonished.
The idea that someone could kill the entire population of Earth with nothing but their mental power seemed like a joke.
How powerful would such mental power have to be?
Of course, this feat was only possible after Professor X amplified his abilities using an instrument called Cerebro.
Nevertheless, Professor X's own abilities were not to be underestimated.
Moreover, as a top-tier scientist himself, Tony naturally viewed equipment as an integral part of one's strength.
*This is a major player!*
*Definitely a top-tier player.*
Tony's respect for Professor X grew even greater.
"The X-Men world?"
Charles, standing before another diary, couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
What was this tone, as if it came from another world?
"The Avengers?"
And who were they?
The name sounded like a term for a specific group, similar to the X-Men, but Charles had never heard of them before.
Furthermore, "Fourth-Tier Mutants"? And him and Magneto?
Who had created this tier system, and what was it based on?
As a seasoned mutant, Charles had never heard of such a classification method before.
"Wolverine, Cyclops?"
"Storm?"
"Scarlet Witch?"
These names also furrowed Charles's brow.
The mutants mentioned in the diary were completely unknown to him.
However, Charles wasn't particularly surprised by this.
Even he couldn't possibly know and understand all the mutants in the world, could he?
What he couldn't figure out was why this Scarlet Witch would clash with the Avengers.
The Avengers were straightforward enough—an alliance formed by those "Avengers," much like the Brotherhood of Mutants Erik had once established.
In the past, Charles might have been interested in investigating the Avengers.
But now...
As the "lazy big brother" Charles, he couldn't be bothered. *Let them do whatever they want, it's none of my business.*
"Kill all the people on Earth?"
"That's absurd."
When Charles refocused on the diary, he couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle.
Whoever this Zhou Cheng was, he was really overestimating himself.
Even with Cerebro, he was nowhere near capable of killing all the humans on Earth.
He wasn't that powerful.
Moreover, he would never do such a thing!
Let alone him, even someone as radical as Erik wouldn't dare to kill all the humans on Earth.
That guy was really out of his mind with his jokes.
*Magneto's words... well, let's not even mention Magneto.*
*Despite possessing abilities that could be considered cheating, he was content to remain Iron Magneto.*
*But even as Iron Magneto, he could effortlessly lift an entire football stadium into the sky!*
*He casually trapped high-ranking officials, including the President of the United States, turning them into lambs awaiting slaughter.*
*Even the Sentinel robots, the ultimate weapons designed to hunt Mutants, seemed like mere toys to him, despite being first-generation models.*
*This just goes to show the immense potential of his abilities.*
"Erik."
Charles murmured the name, his expression turning complex.
Once upon a time, they were brothers who shared everything, comrades who fought side-by-side and trusted each other implicitly.
Yet, in the end, they went their separate ways, even becoming bitter enemies.
To prevent Erik's extremist actions, Charles had intervened numerous times.
Clashing with his former friend, both openly and covertly, was something Charles never wanted to do, yet he felt compelled to act.
The conflict finally came to an end when Erik assassinated Melo and was secretly imprisoned by the military.
The name Magneto, which had once struck fear into many hearts, gradually faded from public memory.
But what was Iron Magneto up to?
And when did Erik flip an entire football stadium to trap high-ranking American officials? How could Charles not know about this?
During their period of opposition, Charles had been constantly using Cerebro.
Even if Erik's helmet could temporarily block his scans, any major incident would have immediately alerted Charles.
Especially something as blatant as flipping a whole football stadium into the air—that would have made headlines instantly, without him even needing to use his powers.
How could Charles have remained completely unaware?
"Sentinel robots?"
This name also left Charles deeply puzzled.
Charles had never heard of these robots that specialized in hunting Mutants.
So, was Zhou Cheng saying that the human ZF had secretly developed weapons to hunt them?
*No, that can't be true.*
*That's all bullshit!*
Charles simply didn't believe it.
"Flying a football stadium into the sky!"
Tony, standing before another diary, couldn't help but secretly gasp.
He was genuinely stunned.
Magneto had been mentioned in previous diaries, and from the nickname alone, Tony could infer that he possessed the ability to control magnetic forces.
To be honest, in a modern society saturated with magnetic and electric fields, such an ability was practically god-tier, with boundless potential.
Even a Playboy like him could guess that Magneto was an incredibly powerful Mutant.
But he never imagined it would be this exaggerated.
*An entire football stadium!*
*Who in the Avengers could even do that?*
*Even if they could, it would probably only be magic users like Scarlet Witch or Doctor Strange, right?*
*Of course, give me, Big Tony, enough time, and I could do it too.*
*But here we're talking about his *normal* abilities!*
*And then there's this:*
Magneto flipped over the football stadium with the sole purpose of trapping the President of the United States and other high-ranking officials?
Good heavens, that's truly audacious.
It's practically like he's moved a prison and dropped it on their heads, locking them all away?
Why would Magneto do such a thing?
Wouldn't that be tantamount to declaring war on the United States?
And what about the diary's description of "lambs to the slaughter"? Does that mean Magneto plans to do something sinister to those officials?
From all appearances, Magneto seems... like a villain?
"The mutants in their world don't seem to be in a good situation," Playboy immediately sensed when he saw the Sentinel's preview.
In their world, no one had ever developed a weapon specifically designed to counter the Avengers!
Even in the original future, the most they ever had was the Sokovia Accords.
Beyond that, the Avengers were a universally recognized and celebrated group of superheroes.
So, the question arises:
What exactly have the mutants done in the X-Men's universe?
Why does the ZF fear them so much that they'd resort to developing robots specifically designed to counter them?
Or perhaps these robots weren't developed by the ZF at all, but were enemies of the Mutants?
Tony considered both possibilities, but couldn't reach a definitive conclusion.
In the Main Universe, Magneto is an ultimate boss-level threat.
Neither the X-Men nor the Avengers can defeat him individually; it requires the entire team!
Especially for the Avengers, the Big Three are completely outmatched by him.
Iron Man's armor, Captain America's shield, even Thor's hammer—he can control them all.
Magneto has nearly defeated every X-Man and Avenger!
Even in this TRN414 Universe, where he's still Iron Magneto, he could still defeat most of the Avengers.
Main Universe!?
The Marvel Main Universe!?
Tony froze for a moment.
According to Zhou Cheng's habits, when he referred to a universe by its codename without a prefix, he was implicitly referring to a Marvel universe.
In other words, the Main Universe meant the Marvel Main Universe.
Normally, a person's linguistic habits wouldn't change suddenly.
So, Playboy still leaned toward the idea that the Main Universe mentioned in the diary was the Marvel Main Universe.
But could Mutants actually exist in the Marvel Main Universe?
Could Magneto exist there too?
For so long, Tony and the other diary holders had believed that the X-Men belonged to a universe separate from the Marvel Main Universe.
The diary had also consistently hinted that in the future, the Marvel Main Universe and the X-Men universe would become interconnected.
So, was it all wrong?
The diary was explicit: in the Main Universe, Magneto had clashed with both the X-Men and the Avengers.
*Oh, this...*
*What a mess.*
*So the X-Men actually exist in the Main Universe!*
The X-Men universe is also part of the Marvel multiverse!
So, does that mean Professor X in Universe 838 is a native of that universe?
Once he realized this, Playboy's attitude towards Magneto and the X-Men shifted.
He became more wary and serious.
This was a Marvel universe, not so distant from his own!
With this new perspective, Playboy refocused on the Diary, his expression growing even more grim.
Magneto's strength far exceeded Tony's imagination.
He was a being who required an entire superhero team to defeat, nearly crushing all the X-Men and Avengers. His power level was truly extraordinary.
No wonder the Diary had recognized him as a Fourth-Tier Mutant.
But if Magneto had battled both the X-Men and the Avengers, was he truly a villain?
