Evolve myself

Rarry King says, 'I would be the first broadcaster interviewing an alien. What would be the first question?
I would say:
Could you evolve me?
Could you make me evolve from a human?
Could you make me evolve to the highest level?

Could you evolve my ability?
Could you give me phychic abilities?
Are they all grammatically correct and natural to say?
Thanks.

His name is ' Larry King '. Only this one (as corrected) seems reasonable: Could you give me psychic abilities? 'Evolution' is not a process that occurs within an individual, either naturally or supernaturally.

Evolve is usually applied to a species, or to a series of units, rather than to an individual entity or unit.

The hybrid engine has gradually evolved into a green machine which can be accepted by the majority of consumers. (true or false?)

I suppose you could say, "Through a series of ingenious injections and tranfusions, my blood / system has gradually evolve
