Marvel: The Ultimate Superman Novel

Nolan finds himself reborn in the Marvel universe as a Hydra laboratory researcher. He possesses two extraordinary gifts: the "Master of Research" talent that grants him complete understanding of all knowledge and truths, and the Spirit of Evolution power that allows him to absorb anything to strengthen himself. Starting with the creation of the Super Soldier Serum, Nolan embarks on an ambitious project. He studies various superpowered individuals throughout the Marvel universe, extracting and integrating their abilities into his own body. From Wolverine, he seeks the regenerative healing factor. From the Hulk, he desires superhuman strength. From the X-Men, he pursues additional powers including an indestructible body, heat vision, and solar energy absorption. His ultimate goal: to harness science to recreate Earth's mythological gods and forge the definitive Superman within the Marvel universe—regardless of how many times he must experiment on these extraordinary beings.
