Well I'm certain that Hickman is using the word in the way I've described, which is the correct way to use it. It actually doesn't matter whether she is a mutant or not. Just because you don't understand the meaning of the word doesn't mean the writer also doesn't.

Charles II of Britain was the rightful king of England, but was a pretender until the restoration when he became king. The Cardinal Duke of York was a pretender who had no real claim to the throne. This is the correct definition of the word and the writer is absolutely certainly using it this way.
