Hello how are you, I have opened this thread because I have several doubts about the evolution and mutants; and I would like to know what you think
First, many claim that mutants are the next step in human evolution, but the actions of some of them have proved the opposite:
*The mutants have a unique special gene known as the x gene, which gives them their variety of different powers for each of them.
But if that gene is eliminated, do the mutants devolve? no, they just become powerless, but their personality and intelligence remains the same, as the humans (same with the inhumans or mutates), that is, they are already human.
when the hominids evolved their mind developed, but the mutants are simply that human mutants, a genetically altered subspecies, their personalities are the same (example: Iceman was the same subject before his powers were activated)
*What about an evolved human but without the x gene, is it possible? yes, in the comic "What If the Avengers Had Lost the Evolutionary War? the genetic bomb gave normal humans bigger heads with advanced minds and due to that the evolved humans made peace with the mutants and with each other across the glob, and in a short time they achieve harmony and complete peace.
If mutants are the next step, why do they continue to make the mistakes of humanity? Conquest, bigotry, violence, death and still claim to be superior?
they would be supposed to be better, that is, they would be beyond revenge, violence, arrogance and being our successors; they should with all their gifts be guides of humanity. That has happened with many mutants both heroes and villains (Magneto, Exodus, Cortez, Apocalypse, Sabretooth, Wolverine)
Example: In the comic What If Magneto Ruled All Mutants, the acolyte´s Magneto, live in the asteroid M, a group of them directed by Exodus wants to find their place far from Earth, the other one directed by Cortez, wants to return and annihilate the humans and claim what belongs to them by right, there is no peace between them, until the baby of Rusty and Skids is born. Dr. McCoy discovered that according to the tests, the baby is born with the power to chose any mutation he wants. He may be the 'Ultimate Mutant'.
The two gropus feel threatened and they finally manage to kill the baby, but it turns out that Magneto had altered the evidence to give his subjects a common enemy.
Does that show that mutants and human beings are nothing different, shouldn't mutants accept the next step of mutantkind? How the evolved humans made peace with the mutants, in the first comic that I mentioned
and not only that, in what if professor x had become the juggernaut, Magneto forms a mutant army, which conquers Santo Marco (and it is thanks to him began the anti-mutant feeling); Xavier defeat Magneto , takes over the country and his X-Men are used to enforce anti-human laws. and after almost a world war III, the humans are routinely terrorized by mutant gangs immune to the law, while the mutants are treated as if they had blue blood

So being a mutant is a step to do everything you want, without consequence or punishment, just for being homo superior?
that is arrogance, mutant, human, inhuman, deviant, atlantean, mutate, everyone has the right to live his life fully, without anyone oppressing them; species working together learn to overcome their racist tendencies and not see the world in black and white.
The Human Supremacy and the Mutant Supremacy end goal does not necessarily justify the means;
Even if one of them achieves dominance, how much time will pass for the other fight for their dominance, the mutants and humans cannot expect to be on top and remain unharmed, in the end they are only creating a vicious circle that has no end
if the mutants do not overcome those failures, it means that they are human, no matter how much they deny it
an finally the Age of Apocalypse nuff said
But if you strip away the myth and look at their deeds, the legacy of the Mutants is failure. Hypocrisy, hubris… change jedi for mutant
