Mutant

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are now seeing the beginnings of another stage of human evolution. These mutations manifest at puberty and are often triggered by periods of heightened emotional stress."

―Jean Grey at a United States senate hearing^[src]

Mutants are human beings born with what is known as the X-Gene, which usually expresses itself in the form of superhuman abilities that manifest at puberty or periods of heightened emotional stress. Though some mutants can pass as ordinary humans, there are those who have visible physical characteristics that signify their mutant nature. Mutants are believed to be the next evolutionary phase of humanity.

History[]

Pre-Discovery[]

Due to saltation, Mutants are born with superhuman abilities and they usually manifest at puberty. The first mutant appeared during ancient Egypt thousands of years ago; En Sabah Nur. James Howlett and Victor Creed, who fought in important wars of American history, were the next, earliest known mutants. By the time of World War II, mutants became a more widespread phenomenon, though humanity at large continued to be ignorant of their existence. Alternatively, the Nuclear Age caused an acceleration of the mutant gene, finally making a species of them.

It was not until the 1960s when the existence of mutantkind was revealed to the U.S. Government during the Cuban Missile Crisis, which was orchestrated by Sebastian Shaw, who sought to destroy baseline humans so that mutants could rule the Earth, with Shaw as their leader. His plans were thwarted by a group of mutant misfits, who used their unique gifts to prevent a nuclear war, effects of which would cause the mutant gene to become truly dominant on the planet, with humanity becoming extinct as a result. However, their heroic actions exposed mutants to the world in irrevocable ways.

First Extermination Attempt[]

In 2003, Colonel John Stryker, who once gave his father a promise to finish what he started, sought to rid the world of mutantkind by using a combination of his son, Jason, and Charles Xavier's powers with Cerebro to mentally kill all mutants in the world. His plan backfired on him, and not only caused the near-extermination of humans, but also a full-out war between mutants and humans.

A "Cure" to Mutation[]

In 2011, the billionaire businessman Wallace Worthington sought to find a way to cure his son of his "affliction" and used his corporation to create a cure called the Hope Serum. For the last five years until 2006, Wallace learned the existence of a child named Dorian and saw him as the most perfect source to provide the creation of the Hope Serum. Seeing it as a perfection, Wallace sought to use this serum as a way to cure mutants and make them human again so that they could live a normal life.

Unknown to Wallace Worthington, it turns out that the cure was being used as a weapon by the military in case dangerous mutants posed a threat to human lives. Many mutants, who had long since hated what they were and wanted to get rid of their powers or mutations, from around the world were interested in the cure and wanted to be normal again rather than being treated. However, other mutants from around the world disliked the idea and disregarded the cure as a plague to wipe them out. Among these mutants that

Magneto learned about this cure and sought to have it eradicated. Once he was done building his army, he his fellow mutants to the headquarters of Worthington Labs, in San Francisco, for which their plan was to destroy the cure and its source before it was used to exterminate mutantkind. He was thwarted by the X-Force, fortunately. Later, the cure was discovered to be temporary, as mutants such as Magneto began to regain their powers.

Sentinel Takeover[]

In 1973, the Sentinel Program was used after Bolivar Trask was killed by Mystique. Later on, with her DNA, they created the Sentinel Mk X, a Sentinel that can adapt to its environment and use mutant abilities. They begin targeting mutants, and eventually, families with the potential to have mutants. The humans who sided with mutants were condemned to concentration camps alongside the mutants they helped. By 2023, the war with the Sentinels has created a dystopian world where most of mutantkind are gone and only the worst of humanity are left.

Relentlessly hunted by the Sentinels, the remainder of the X-Force, for which it has formed the Mutant Liberation Front, sought to try and put an end to the Sentinels, but their efforts were proven to be rather difficult and a number of their friends were killed. Using Shadowcat's powers, Wolverine traveled back in time to 1973 in order to stop Mystique from killing Trask and causing the creation of the Sentinel Program. With the aid of the past versions of Charles Xavierand Hank McCoy, Wolverine was able to change events so that Mystique did not kill Trask and was seen saving the life of President Richard Nixon. As a result, the Sentinel Program was canceled and Trask was arrested for selling secrets to foreign governments, altering the future.

Paris Peace Accords[]

The existence of mutants became known to the world at the Paris Peace Accords in 1973. Magneto, Beast, and Mystique were caught battling each other on camera, their powers exposed to a crowd of onlookers. When Mystique saved the life of the United States president in Washington, her face became a symbol of peaceful co-existence between humans and mutants by 1983.

White Event[]

In 1986, a flash of light emerged from the sky, thus leading to the creation of the first Mutants, who were known as "Paranormals".

Mutant Rise[]

While the world didn't know about the existence of Mutants, it turns out that they had been hiding in the shadows for a very long time. Bruno Carrelli re-examined Kamala Khan's genetics and discovered that Khan was different from her family. In addition to her heritage belonging to a race from the Noor Dimension, Khan also had a mutation in her genes.
