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[]
Pre-Discovery[]
The first mutant appeared during ancient Egypt thousands of years ago.
X-Men: Apocalypse[]
Ten years later in 1983 thanks to Mystique heroic actions in Washington D.C Mutants have become almost universally accepted. However when the worlds first mutant En Sabah Nur was awaken he quickly began a plan to cleanse the world of the "weak" who he saw as ruling the Earth now. Recruiting a new set of Horsemen consisting of a young Storm, and grieving Magneto, a lost Angel, and an impressed Psylocke. Apocalypse plan almost succeeded but fortunately he was stopped by the reformed X-Men. However, Apocalypse actions made Mutants once again controversial to the public.

Deadpool[]
In the present alternate timeline, things such as genetic manipulation, torture methods, and near-death experiences were found to be able to cause an artificial mutation in Mutants who had any inactivate X-Genes in them. Known as the Workshop the programs goal was to unlock a persons mutant powers then take away their will and sale them off to the highest bidder. However when one of "volunteers" Wade Wilson (who had come to the program in hopes they fix his cancer) managed to escape he went on a systematic rampage for the Workshops leader Ajax. When Ajax managed to kidnap Wade’s girlfriend Vanessa he sought the help of Colossus and Negasonic Teenage Warhead to help rescue her. With their help Deadpool was able to kill Ajax (finally getting his revenge) and reunite with Vanessa. Mutant experimentation was also done on mutant children as well.
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.
