Question

Genetic alteration is a common phenomenon in the Marvel universe, but it's hard to know which superhumans technically count as mutants. While those who have lived with the X-Gene since birth, such as Jean Grey, Cyclops, and Wolverine are considered mutants, those who received their genetic alteration later in life, such as Spider-Man, Juggernaut, and Hulk, are technically mutates.

A. True
B. False

Answer 1

In the Marvel universe, mutants are individuals who are born with the X-Gene, while mutates acquire their superhuman abilities through genetic alteration later in life.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the Marvel universe, the term 'mutant' refers to individuals who are born with the X-Gene, which gives them their superhuman abilities. Examples of mutants include Jean Grey, Cyclops, and Wolverine.

On the other hand, individuals who acquire their superhuman abilities through genetic alteration later in life are referred to as 'mutates.' Examples of mutates include Spider-Man, Juggernaut, and Hulk.

Therefore, the statement is True.
