Mutants (Earth-7045)

Mutants are a human subspecies (Homo sapiens superior) that possesses a genetic trait called the X-Gene. It causes the mutant to develop superhuman powers that manifest at puberty.

History
The history of the mutant race is similar its mainstream counterpart.

Powers
Variable after X-Gene activation.

Weaknesses
Variable after X-Gene activation. Examples include various weapons and technology designed to disable or kill mutants or lack of control over powers.

Biology
Mutants, despite their human origins, have many distinctive traits in regards to biology, physiology, and genetics from their evolutionary predecessors. Mutants can have wildly varying biologies depending on the nature of their mutation.

Mutation
Mutation is caused by the X-Gene in the mutants' DNA. Mutations normally manifest themselves during puberty, often as a result of a traumatic event. Some mutants exhibit their mutations at birth however, while others do not manifest their powers until adulthood.

Breeding & Cross-Breeding
Mutant breeding has notable implications, regarding the transmission of the mutant genome, or to hybridization with others species of human or extraterrestrial species.

Trivia

 * There is a clear distinction between mutants and mutate humans.
 * Characters who gained their superhuman powers from other sources such as radioactive spiders, gamma radiation, cosmic rays, magic, Super-Soldier Serum, etc. are NOT mutants. They are mutated humans.
 * The term mutant is often confused to intend or designate mutate, both by characters and by authors.
 * In the same way, they are sometimes confused with the Inhumans (another humanity off-shoot). Those two kind develop random powers and appearances, as the mutants.
 * It is a matter of debate and interpretation whether or not mutants can still be considered as humans:
 * Some believe mutants are humans, humans with an X-Gene, or a special kind of human.
 * Others, humans or mutants, feel that mutants aren't humans, with or without also believing in mutant or human supremacy.
