Any resemblance to real names, places, or events is coincidental. This is an extremely fast-paced novel, and the protagonist becomes absurdly overpowered. He is not the usual “hero complex” type. The villain and antihero tags are not for show. If you are looking for a “goody-two-shoes” protagonist, this novel is not for you. Kailen is a morally grey character. Note for Readers (Please do not skip): Early on, Kailen awakens with a shadow affinity. Yes—it may remind you of popular works you've read… but this is only the beginning. As the story progresses, he will unlock and master multiple affinities, each adding a unique blend to his path. The shadow affinity is a nod to some of my favorite novels, but the journey, characters, and world are entirely my own. Join the Community: Care to interact with me and other readers?

Reborn in Marvel: DNA Replicator

In a world where superheroes clash and cosmic threats loom, an ordinary Marvel fan from Earth dies and awakens as Alex Kane—a newborn in the MCU, armed with the ultimate cheat: the power to analyze any DNA and selectively replicate the abilities, talents, and traits of heroes, villains, and anyone he encounters. No overpowered system handouts. No instant godhood. Just smart, calculated collection—starting small with empathy from his struggling single mother, subtle intellect boosts from teachers, and fractional super-soldier enhancements stolen in secret. He grinds like the web novel protagonists he once read about: investing in future tech trends he remembers, building a shadowy tech empire from humble game prototypes, and forging an advanced AI that evolves into something rivaling JARVIS. Alex isn't a reckless savior. He's a good man who puts family and true friends first—extending his mother's life with copied resilience, shielding his childhood crew from danger, and quietly reducing civilian deaths in every major battle he influences. He helps the Avengers carry their burdens: easing Tony's guilt, supporting Wanda through her grief, grounding Peter in friendship, and offering Black Widow a rare space of genuine trust. As powers stack—Stark's genius sharpening his mind, Cap's durability hardening his body, Asgardian longevity promising centuries, glimpses of chaos magic and speed—he navigates the timeline with meta-knowledge and ruthless pragmatism. He builds Kane Tech, a company that delivers real-world innovations to help Earth while quietly amassing wealth during Stark's dips and Ultron's chaos. Romances bloom slowly and authentically: deep emotional bonds with Wanda Maximoff (shared understanding of loss and power), Gwen Stacy (intellectual equals navigating hero life), and Natasha Romanoff (mutual respect forged in shadows and missions). No conquests for power—just real connections that grow amid the chaos. Even Nick Fury hesitates to approach him. Alex reads people like open books, exposes Hydra spies worldwide through his AI, and offers advice that cuts too close—making him an invaluable, yet unnerving, ally in the shadows. In a universe racing toward Thanos and beyond, Alex doesn't seek the spotlight. He seeks control, longevity for those he loves, and a world where fewer innocents pay the price for heroes' wars. But as he collects the DNA of gods, monsters, and multiversal threats, one question lingers: How long before the power changes the man who once just wanted to survive—and protect his own? DNA Replication — Smart progression. Genuine bonds. A shadow guardian rewriting the MCU, one copied trait at a time. (Perfect for fans of progression fantasy, careful power scaling, emotional depth, light harem elements, and MCU canon with smart twists!) Written using AI

GlaringError here! As I have already mentioned in my author review I am restating it here since I am getting tons of comments about it, that I am more of a reader myself than a writer, I made this novel in an attempt to capture my fantasy world residing in my mind into words.. Writing is new for me.. The premise of my novel is inspired by many great works that I have loved over the years. And some elements I have in my novel that are slightly similar to them but it's just the skeleton of it, the real meat of the plot is entirely my own cooking. Some of the influence that is more noticeable is from The Runesmith (By Kuropon), The King's Avatar (By Butterfly Blue) and Shadow Slave (By Guiltythree). I have immense respect for these legends and I can only hope to follow in their footsteps. To all those who comment just by judging the name, at least give it a chance before letting your opinions be known. Thank you.
