    Time travel. Not a fan reality altering and manipulation. I mean if its illusion casting then fine but nah. Goldballs. Glob. Eyeboy. Shargirl. Nature Girl. Thats just a start there are plenty of other wasted space redundant mutants there as well.

    Mutant are necessarily superior, now… Gelatine or not.
    It's a part of the credo.

    Were I to fix things:

    1. Tarot // dream-based precognition <non-combat mutant>
    2. Franklin Richards // reality manipulation (limited via Illuminati) <Omega mutant>
    3. Legion // empathic metamorph --> reality manipulation "Proteus" <Omega mutant>
    4. Scarlet Witch // magical non-mutant
    4. Monarch // magical non-mutant
    5. Ink would not exist.
    6. Darkstar // telekinesis
    7. Doorman // teleportation
    8. Quagmire // telekinesis
    9. Silhouette // teleportation
    10. Vanisher // teleportation
    11. Adam X would not exist.
    12. Jean Grey would not be an Omega mutant.
    13. Glob // beeswax transmorph
    14. Eyeboy // extra eyes, supervisions (But the eyes would close and then vanish.) <non-combat mutant>
    15. Maggott // multibody transmorph (Can change his form into several smaller, hive-mind creatures; his slugs are only his first phase.)
    16. Sharkgirl // shark transmorph (Like Wolfsbane is for wolves. Stays in were-shark shape on land.)
    17. Nature Girl // empath
    18. Wolverine, Logan // healing factor (No bone claws. They're robotic additions.)
    19. Wolverine, Laura // healing factor (No bone claws. They're robotic additions.)
    20. Sabretooth wouldn't be a mutant.
    21. Deadpool wouldn't be a mutant.
    22. Wildchild wouldn't be a mutant.
    23. Daken // healing factor (No bone claws. No claws. Uses swords!)
    24. Magik // teleportation (Magic grants her dimensional access with concentration, requires an "anchor".)
    25. Fitzroy // teleportation (Technology granted him a single time-jumping portal, stranding him and Bishop here.)
    26. Cable wouldn't be Cable.
    27. Rachel // telepathy, telekinesis, pyrokinesis
    28. Eva Bell wouldn't exist.
    29. Domino // precision (Not luck-power, but superhuman aim, agility, combat awareness.)
    30. Roulette // precision (Not luck-power, but superhuman aim, agility, combat awareness.)
    31. Longshot // precision AND subtle instinctive reality-shaping (very, very, rare)

    Wooo baby that's a lot of teleporters. I wish some were short-range like Nightcrawler, and not all Magik/Lila Cheneys.

    I quite like the mutants that have pointless, non-combat focused abilities. The more combat focused powers that characters like Cyclops and Wolverine have should be less common than the defenseless mutants that are just freaky looking, at least that makes more sense to me. It makes the X-Men a slightly more necessary concept; mutants who can defend the defenseless.

    99.9% of the time, I hate time travel as a story-telling device (the 0.1% is usually just “passable”), so...that power.

    I agree with these ideas 100%!

    In terms of Sabretooth, what would he be if not a mutant in your interpretation?

    Telepathy and telekinesis that’s so unbound that it’s basically the power to do whatever the hell the writer feels like doing. Powers with limitations and counter plays are so much more interesting.

    Xavier isn't a telekinetic, though…

    And Jean was just at first a telekinetic…

    A human U-Man volunteer to the Weapon Plus program. He was a successful test subject to the grafts Weapon Plus extracted from Wolverine and implanted into Sabretooth's body. Additional grafts from mutant subjects gave Sabretooth increased strength and durability, but those subjects all died. Wolverine was the only donor that survived. As a test subject and donor, NOT the intended Weapon X agent, Wolverine's adamantium-laced skeleton was a process they intended for Sabretooth. Their enmity is largely the result of military brainwashing and toxic masculinity.
