Of course, James knew how stupid that sounded after all even humans didn't understand Human nature, we just assumed the dark sides and said "Oh that's reality for you".
Humans were made to view things from a negative perspective before they go positive. It is just how they are so James wanted to see how it would be if an Artificial Intelligence was trying to predict the decisions of thousands if not millions of people.
If it ran that well... then that would mean that a technocracy was possible, wouldn't it?
[Sir can I have permission to build myself a body] Kelex suddenly asked
"As long as it is just a single body for yourself then no problems but I don't want to hear or see a group of robots walking around, do you hear me?'' James replied without even thinking much about it.
Kelex may be a super advanced A.I but it was extremely loyal to the El family bloodline
[Affirmative sir] Kelex replied as usual, without any emotions as it continued its unseen work
======
Three(3) Months later.
Under the barn.
James had slowly turned the space around the space pod into a makeshift lab. He had already gotten permission from his parents who were utterly surprised that James had found out about the pod.
However, they could only accept it after all the boy promised not to reveal it to Clark until the other party was ready or needed to know.
Knowing the truth about their existence could affect Clark in a lot of ways especially now that he was extremely open to outside influences.
It could cause some sort of change in Clark resulting in him not choosing to become Superman.
Even though James didn't like the very idea of Superman. He knew it was a character that was absolutely needed in every DC Universe.
From what he knew, every universe that had its Superman killed without any means of return had all been destroyed.
Power Girl's Superman died and so did the universe, the Dark Multiverse has multiple dead Supermen too and the entire Multiverse was on the verge of breaking down. James wasn't planning on stopping the process of Clark becoming Superman.
At the moment, James could be seen practising a weird Martial arts style with a holographic version of himself as a guide.
In the past three months, James had memorized and learnt everything Kelex had compiled for him.
The current James was basically a walking Wikipedia as his mind retained everything he saw with great clarity.
He has done practicals of everything he learnt using the holographic technology of the pod.
At the moment, even without his powers, James could be said to be a Master-level expert in basically all styles of Martial arts there was, a one-man medical team, an expert lawyer etc.
All this was mostly possible because Kryptonians may not show it well or that often but their bodies often react more to what they think.
Basically, their bodies obey their thoughts. Otherwise, it was impossible as to why Superman had achieved many of his feats, he became an expert surgeon just by reading.
No matter how James thought of that, it was impossible but here he was mastering everything in existence just after a few months of reading.
However, he still refused to accept that fact so he still practised with the holograms provided by Kelex.
The current Martial arts style that James was practising was synthesized by Kelex after scanning through all existing ones. The martial arts was weird in the sense that it came in two parts.
The first for when facing normal humans, the other for when facing Kryptonians or with Kryptonian-like physiques.
The first style focused on incapacitating people, it allowed him to pull his punches even if he was going at full strength. The martial arts style made it impossible for him to use his full strength.
The second style on the other hand was the complete opposite, allowing him to use 120% of his strength against any opponent with incredible precision.
Both styles could be taught to a normal human and they would probably obliterate most metahumans they faced.
Both versions of the style were like Krav Maga, they were designed to incapacitate the opponent with quick and powerful strikes but they were also like Karate where a single hit if trained well could kill.
Basically, James had Kelex design a martial arts style that made it possible for a normal human to fight against any human and most metahumans.
Of course, all that was under the condition that said person could actually learn the technique as it required a very strong and flexible body. things that James embodied
During the last three months, James not only learnt. He also achieved his purpose to find out exactly what was different about him compared to other Kryptonians.
The experiment proved to be a great idea for James since he learnt a lot about his physique in comparison to normal Kryptonians.
James could absorb more energy because, in simple terms, he was a mutant. A Meta-Kryptonian if you will. He had extra genes in his body that all other Kryptonians didn't have.
Of course, James wasn't sure if no other Kryptonian had such a gene since the Kryptonian Magi were a thing.
However, he knew that the metagene sort of made him immune to all normal Kryptonian weaknesses.
Kryptonite had no effect because he would just absorb it. He had tested that out.
Fun fact though, apparently normal Kryptonians can develop a resistance to kryptonite if they are exposed to it for an extended period.
This resistance can eventually evolve to become an immunity to Kryptonite but James had bypassed this 100 years or so project as his Metagene also absorbed energy from kryptonites.
