Mutants, also known as 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[]
Logan[]
In the early 21st century, the scientific company know as Transigen was able to almost eliminate the X-Gene by making a genetically modified corn syrup which was then planted in foods and drinks that would be consumed by the larger populace. With this the number of mutant births declined significantly until the point in 2029 in which no new mutant birth was reported to have happened in the last 25 years.
In the year 2028, Charles Xavier became stricken with Alzheimers and as a result unleashed a psychic seizure that not only injured 600 civilians but also killed several members of the X-Men. By 2029 the X-Men had been all but disbanded leaving only Xavier and Logan who became Charles caretaker but was also suffering from the fact that his healing factor was slowly fading.
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.
