Inside his body, at the microscopic level, the transformation was even more dramatic.
The energy invaded him down to his very DNA, flowing into every single cell. It reached the nucleus of each cell where his genetic code was stored and began fundamentally rewriting it.
His genes were being edited and completely rewritten. His cells were being altered from normal human cells into something similar but far superior.
Human cells normally have 46 chromosomes arranged in 23 pairs. Vogue's cells began developing 48 chromosomes, with the additional pair containing entirely new genetic information that enhanced every biological function.
The mitochondria—the powerhouses of each cell—doubled in number and increased in efficiency. Each mitochondria began producing three times the normal amount of ATP energy while requiring the same amount of fuel.
