Kryvo Vélo.
A great name, or at least Kryvo thought it was a great name, even more so when the meaning of ot is Hidden in Veil! "I see... How do you pretend to save all of Mutant kind, Mr Vélo?" Charles wondered, he was old and knew there weren't many years of life left for him to live, which meant he would put his entire life to save the mutant kind! "The same way I'm stopping you for scoping over my mind, the same way I'm stopping Sentinels from finding me, and the same way i plan on destroying every single Sentinel in this world." Vélo was different from those heroes qho let die in that fire- He's better, he's more, he's superior to them! See? He can save them, he knows he can, he doesn't want to let them suffer through the unimaginable and beyond when he can save them right? They are burning, just like once he burned, and he wants to save them.
Just save them.
And anyone who stands on his way will suffer.
He smiled to Charles Francis Xavier and said, with voice calm, collected, and cold: "I will do anything to complete my goal, Charles Xavier, anything... And whoever gets on my way, will suffer the consequences. There no longer is a way for Mutantkind and Humankind to get along, not when they torture our people-" See how he got really into character? "Kill our people, abuse our people." He clenched his fists, got up as a portal of a swirling mass of red liquid appeared before him, he turned to look at Charles and said: "Do not get om my way, Charles Xavier, or else you'll suffer too." And with that, he stepped out of Charles's mind-scape with a new conviction to kill humans and save mutants! Well- That and the hopelessness they felt touched his heart and this was not only a great opportunity to train himself but also gather a group, why? Because he wants to learn how to be a leader, he has some ideas on how to be a good leader already but they're only that- Ideas.
He needs experience.
He also wants to experience things- his last life was boring and he wanted to be happy, dance, do crazy shit. "I know..." he sighed, he needed power, power he will have! His hand sank into a portal as he pulled out a Platinum Kryptonite, a Kryptonite that gives any human the powers of a Kryptonian. Kryptonian cellular structure is much more dense, resilient, and biologically more effective than human tissue. They do not possess superhuman strength levels despite their enhanced cellular ability without their cellular structure charged with yellow solar energy. Without such charging, their physical capabilities are identical to a human of their height and weight who engages in regular physical activity. As aliens, they possesses several organs whose functions are not yet disclosed or understood, but are believed to be part of or the source of their bio-matrix force field and reclamation aura. Kryptonians' bodies also store energy actively within their bio-cellular matrix as an energy pattern which is linked to their body's electromagnetic field. This energy powers most of their electromagnetic capabilities such as flight, heat vision and other "sight"-based abilities while supplementing their physical abilities to superhuman levels.
Meaning the moment he touched that Platinum Kryptonite, his body was going under a change to become like a Kryptonian- The only bad things that would come from it would be his weaknesses, one of which he is sure he can deal with it- That one being the natural Psionic weakness every Kryptonian has, there's also the Weaknesses to Kryptonite, Magic, Variable Radiation, Lead, and their own Invulnerability (This one would only stop others from helping or healing him with physical means, but he is pretty much Immortal and with a healing factor, so with the addition of Invulnerability? That would make him pretty much undefeated! Well, Undefeated in a world without Kryptonite, which he has an idea on how to deal with, but now he needs to first get the powers of a Kryptonian. "Well, hope this works." He clenched the Platinum Kryptonite in his hand before throwing it on his mouth and swallowing it, it was easy to do because it had the size of a pill and even the tiniest piece of a Platinum Kryptonite can give a normal human the powers and weaknesses of a Kryptonian, changing them into a Kryptonian!
The taste of it was weird, like, a tasteless gelatinous liquid with a scent of earth and iron... Weird.
But the results were Instantaneous, well, his skin started tk absorb the yellow sun's energy with gusto, it would start slow of course, but he'll soon receive the abilities a normal Kryptonian can have, As a Kryptonian, his cells function like a super battery, hyper metabolizing specific wavelengths of radiation as fuel to enable living functions and/or superhuman abilities. Different wavelengths of radiation have different effects on Kryptonian physiology and well being, but his cells cannot absorb or utilize all types of radiation. The wavelength of Kryptonian's home solar system's red sun enables their body to function on an identical level of a healthy human while the Earth's solar radiation in both its raw and filtered state through the Earth's atmosphere acts as fuel to enable all of their powers. Every time Kryptonians use any of their superhuman abilities, their bodies expend absorbed sunlight and they are capable of utilizing any of them to various degrees through controlled circumstances. The solar-based radiation of a foreign blue star proved to increase their known abilities under a yellow sun to a higher degree and enabled additional powers. The existence and constant exposure to proven "healthy" radiation sources are not required for them to live and utilize their powers, but prolonged periods without exposure to them and/or utilizing their powers will require them to recharge in order to live and continue using their powers.
Which means there's something he can do to get stronger faster, but it'll be painful and almost suicidal... He can go take a bath on the sun, absorbing its energy? Or he can teleport himself to a yellow star and just stay there, bathing on it for years and years until he is strong enough to fight against the whole world and win. Maybe... It's not bad, but there's the struggle with control he'll have, because of the sudden increase in power could be dangerous for him and others, so he might want to slowly increase his proficiency over his newly aquired Kryptonian physiology before he goes on diving into yellow suns to absorb them... there's also the risk of happening to him the same thing that happened to Superman when the Red Kryptonite was used on him: His skin became translucent and he absorbed too much energy from the yellow sun, making him loose control easily over his abilities and not being able to fight that well in fear of destroying the earth.
"Well... Time to search for some trouble." If push comes to shove, he can open a portal escape or kill people by opening a portal directly to a dimension filled with poison, acid, fire, water, or dangerous beasts.
-Scene Cut-
Sentinels MK X are the model that hunts Mutants and Humans with the potential to have X-Gene in their offspring, these monstrous robots lead the era of the worst of humanity to take control over the world... but they did not expect a sudden retaliation from a powerful from a mutant against the Pure Blood- The Pure Blood being those whose offspring cannot and will not generate more abominations like those mutants- It was sudden and fast, a figure stood before a field of destroyed Sentinels, none could adapt to his powers because they could not find the X-Gene within his body, Kryvo just stood there, opening and closing portals and destroying Sentinels after Sentinels, most tried to fire him with energy blasts and other forms of strikes but he redirected them with portals, he was pissed at the Mutant Camps, which were very similar to Concentration Camps used on World War 2 by Germany to gather Jews. He destroyed every single Sentinel, while saving as many Mutants as he could by opening a portal right in the middle of the camp and destroying the collars around their necks that deactivated their X-Gene.
It was only but the first strike of his, since he had a fast method of transportation, he attacked five more camps on the same day, freeing all the living Mutants from there and humans thag alied themselves to the Mutantkind. In the end he managed to save 25.000 Mutants and 5.000 humans, 10.000 of these mutants were below the age of 16, 2.000 were below the age of 18, 5.000 were below the age of 25, and the rest 8.000 were above the age of 25- Humans? 500 of them were below the age of 16, 3.000 of them were below the age of 18, and the rest 1.500 were above the age of 25! 30.000 people in five bases, rescued on the same day! He might've acted recklessly because they now looked at him with hope in their eyes and followed him like their leader- Like a messiah sent to save Mutantkind from the oppression of the Pure Bloods.
He searched on earth for the mythical island of Krakoa, like in the comics, but finding no place in the physical realm he decided to take a random dimension with a flat plane of land as their base! He can create portals ro anywhere he can imagine, so if he thinks of a safe Flat Earth, then he can create a portal to that plane of existence! "This is our new home..." He rescued them, he knew deep inside he rescued them to make himself feel better, feel superior, feel like a hero, which instantly shattered the purpose of his selfish heroism- He wanted to be looked up at, he wanted to be adored, he wanted ro be loved by someone for once on his cursed existence- And when a little kid looked at him with shining eyes of adoration-
He felt dirty... like he cheated on the little kid, like he gave the little kid false hope, like he would shattered that innocent mind with how selfish he was. He could not look at the kid anymore, since he felt like he was dirty. "Savior-" They started to call him that, and that made his skin crawl, for he was no savior! "Please just... Call me Genesis." Since he was going to be the opposite of Apocalypse, then Genesis can be his name? "Genesis Sir-" Respect poured out of the eyes and face of the young man staring up at him, there were many, many people that were looking at his figure with adoration, and that made him realize what he just did- "I don't know what to say other than thank you." The young man kneeled before him, soon, children, men, women, old and young alike started to kneel before him: "Thank you." Tears, laughter, happiness and sadness mixed together to form this cacophony of emotions and sounds that was heavy on Kryvo's shoulders...
So this is how it feels to be a leader, huh? The emotions were like a wave, washing over him, he saw a little girl clutching close to her mother as she cried, her mother also cried alongside her- they were mourning the death of their loved ones whole also being happy for their own survival, and that sight changed Vélo's whole perception of this world.
It was time to be a true leader- Someone who js gentle, but firm, someone who listens but also says the last word, someone who can shoulder the weight of the world for his people. He is going to save them- not because of his selfishness, not anymore at least, but because of their tears and laughters.
Because... They deserved to be saved, unlike him.
He comes to realize it now... Why the heroes didn't save him, letting him die in that fire, he truly didn't deserve it, the fact that he saved so many people just to make himself feel superior to the same heroes was a proof of his selfishness and why he wasn't saved.
Because he didn't deserve it.
