Marvel: I Play Hiruko Kageane and Steal Divine Power Through Imitation

After transmigrating into Marvel, Jin Mi binds himself to a character immersion engine: by imitating anime characters' words and actions, he can raise his synchronization rate, and once it breaks 80%, he can permanently bind their abilities. From the start, penniless and adrift in Hell's Kitchen, he gets caught shoplifting at a convenience store and runs into gang enforcers. At the brink of life and death, he activates his first card: Hiruko Kageyane.

He grits his teeth and keeps up the elegant, deranged persona, scaring off his opponents with bizarre lines and affected mannerisms as his synchronization rate slowly climbs. When he tries to trade information for cash, the gang turns on him. He grabs a rusty steel pipe and drives it through a thug's knee, sending his synchronization rate soaring to 8%. Six months later, while Tony is still hammering sheet metal in a cave, Jin Mi is already wearing a custom white suit and a smiling mask, building an intelligence network beneath New York.

The day his repulsion field first shows its power, he single-handedly storms a Ten Rings desert base and steals Iron Man's moment at the birth of the Mark I. Warheads stop in midair three feet from him and drop to the ground, while a sniper's bullet skims past the hem of his suit. Under his helmet, Tony is stunned. "Who the hell are you?"

Jin Mi gives a slight bow. "An elegant gentleman working to build up his synchronization rate."
