With all due respect, doctor, I still can't believe with this sinister going's on whitechapel are the work of a man in his 60's. I mean be serious, Dr. Xavier!
And therefore, I am convinced that natural selection has been the main, but, not exclusive means of species modification. I open the floor for questions.
[Stands up] Mr. Darwin, while your theory may explain diversity in the lower animals, how can your natural selection account for the human soul? Were we not created in God's own image?
CDCharles Darwin
I have not, uh, as yet, applied my observations to mankind. Though I may do so at some future point.
And so you shall, gentlemen. Please, step this way. As you know, my interest lies not in a gradual mutations that occur over millennia. But, in a leaps that manifest themselves in a single generation. Gentlemen, allow me to introduce you to the men of tomorrow. Mr. Fuente. [Mr. Fuente demonstrates his electro powers] You will, no doubt, recognize the electroscope the device for demonstrating the effect of an electromagnetic charge. [Grins at them, all of them are glaring at his work and he's thinking] Mr. Flannery, if you please.

Dr. Essex, I am speechless. I came today expecting some minor breakthrough and biology, and instead... you insult these learned men with parlor tricks and quackery!
No! Wait! I have discovered of mechanisms of heredity! In time, I shall bring an end to hereditary disorders to all disease! Man shall at last possess complete masteries of their own body! We shall become more than men, we shall be gods!
CDCharles Darwin
Good heavens! You're quite mad! [Walks away with his men]
Fools! You blind old fools! You require proof? [Dr. James Xavier walks out] I'll provide you at proof in abundance! I shall show you, I shall show the world!
Yes! YES! I've done it! [Laughs triumphantly] Mad am I, Darwin? Fool! You are mere a spectator to creation? While I... I have become the creator! [Maniacally laughs][The dark clouds moving and lightning bidding, Essex doing his experiments, he drinks his sinister serum to makes him shake and his skin turns white] Excellent. I feel like a new man!
Have no fear, my friends. With these transfusions, you shall become more than men. Much more! [His finger torched, gasps and it heals fast] Remarkable! Not even a blister! [Laughs]
[Locked it back] They are unfinished, doctor. [James Xavier hits him and grab the keys from him and willing to unlock the bars] I cannot allow you to do this! [They began to fight and dropped the keys]
No! He is different true born with abilities that may frightened us, but he had no choice in the matter. Anymore when choose the color of our eyes. The true monsters walk amongst us undetected. There is your monster, Nathaniel Essex!
[Grabbing in her arm] My dear, we must flee at once to the continent.
RERebecca Essex
[Essex squeezes her] What is this all about? Ah, you're hurting me! [Slaps him off his sunglasses and see his red eyes] AAHHH! What have you done to yourself?! The treatments... [Gasps] What have you done to me?
Do not fear, my darling, together we shall be Adam & Eve of the New Genesis. [The angry mob approaching and Rebecca runs out] Rebecca! REBECCA! [Flee out of his house to his horse to flee]
The mob's justice was swift. Nothing would spare their vengeance. Essex was gone. His laboratory and notes destroyed in the fire. All I could find a rubble was the mad man's journey. Lord Grey spent his remaining years quietly working on behalf of the mutant humans of London. Most of whom disappeared into the sewers. Rebecca never spoke another word. [Thunder rumbling and Essex's eyes flashes]
Listen to me. A telepathic message to Lilandra is Xavier's only hope. You may be able to supercharge his mind just like you did mine. His brainwaves are electromagnetic.
