"Mutation: it is the key to our evolution. It has enabled us to evolve from a single-celled organism into the dominant species on the planet. This process is slow, and normally taking thousands and thousands of years. But every few hundred millennia, evolution leaps forward."
―Jean Grey[src]

Mutants (Homo superiors) are a race of evolved humans who possess a genetic trait called the "X-Gene" that allows them to naturally develop superhuman powers and sometimes affecting their appearance.

History[]

Pre-Discovery[]

The first mutant appeared during ancient Egypt thousands of years ago.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine[]

James Howlett and Victor Creed whom 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 ignorant of their existence.

X-Men: First Class[]

It was not until the 1960's when the existence of mutant-kind was revealed during the Cuban Missile Crisis, 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, whom used their unique gifts to prevent a nuclear war. However their heroic actions exposed mutants to the world in irrevocable ways.

X2: X-Men United[]

Colonel William Stryker 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 nearly backfired at him and not only nearly caused homo sapiens' extermination but also a full-out war between mutants and humans.

X-Men: The Last Stand[]

The billionaire businessman Warren Worthington II sought to cure his son of his "ailment" and used his corporation to create a mutant cure, using a mutant child as source. The cure was supposed to be used to cure mutants and make them human again but it was also used as a weapon by USA military in case dangerous mutants posed a threat to lives.

Learning of this mutant supremacist Magneto lead an army to the headquarters of Worthington Labs, in San Francisco, to destroy it before it was used to exterminate mutantkind.

X-Men: Days of Future Past[]

In 1973, the Sentinel Program was used after Bolivar Trask was killed by Mystique. Later on, with her DNA, they create the Sentinel Mark V, a Sentinel that can adapt to it's environment. With these, the Sentinels take over the world, exterminating mutants, those with the mutant gene, and those that supported mutant resistance, thus leaving the worst of mankind left. However, a few survive. this is fixed when Wolverine is sent back in time to stop Mystique.

Genetics[]

Mutants are born with a genetic trait called the "X-Gene", which alters the physiological structure of the individuals granting them superhuman powers and some of these powers are the result of alteration of their appearance. These alterations, called mutation, is seemingly random and it's rare (but not impossible) for two mutants to have the same mutation.

Notable Mutants[]
