LegionAlpha Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 So this is a thing I discovered, and I will try not to spoil it. But it has been out since 2018 and I just found out myself. Marvel finally explained mutants on Earth and why such mutations are not a galaxy wide thing. Summary, an event happened millions of years ago that messed with the planet and thus mutants have moved to the science category. My only question is if it becomes public knowledge, will it just be like the end of the Ultimate's universe? Because right now, mutants powers and how random it is makes a whole lot of sense now.

That is the thing, it was not some random anomaly, but( minor spoiler) but by an external source that caused it. Man it is hard not to spoil the comic.

It does not matter what caused mutants to exist or how they were brought about. Only those first few could be considered to be of a science origin. Once they started reproducing on their own, and that external source no longer plays a role, they become "normal" mutation origin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegionAlpha Posted May 19 Author Share Posted May 19 Okay I get what your saying. I guess I was disappointed that they almost went (as I said) some way as Ultimates, They too had mutants, but how they went to create them. Dunno if you read Ultimate X-Men or the Ultimatum Storyline where nearly all the X-Men were killed and many disbanded afterwards and life made worse when the truth came out and mutants as I understood made them more of a result of the mad scientist than evolution.

Techwright Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 If this is what I think it is, Agents of SHIELD dealt with it, but since the show wasn't allowed to use "mutant" due to studio rights conflicts, they defaulted to "Inhumans". Season 5 introduced that outside source and the whole concept. Interestingly, season 5 premiered in late 2017, which predates the year you gave for the comics. I wonder which one influenced the other? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Vee Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 Don't worry about it. If you give them a few years they'll retcon it to another explanation anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InvaderStych Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 (edited) Agents of Shield, Season 3 - First two seasons were just a tease, *this* is the origin of "Inhumans" (Mutants) on Earth. Inhumans The Ill Fated Series - No, wait, guys, WE are THE INHUMANS!! Agents of Shield, Season 5 and beyond - Well... Ackshuallllyyy, you're just not though. 🤣 Edited May 19 by InvaderStych 1 "... And I'd kill to get away; I'd die to make my own way. And I'd lose to celebrate; I'd win to see the good days. And I'll never stop the fighting, so bring to me your worst. I'll never stop believing that I could rule the world one day ..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't really new. We've known this for decades. But mutations really are a universe-wide thing. It's not just Earth.

Mutations are present among the Shi'ar Imperial Guard are they not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
