The forgotten Mutants: The Morlocks--Savage land mutates, etc.

[ExcelsiorPrime]

In the struggle for Mutant Rights, Cyclops and Magneto, and Storm, and Xavier, who couldn't possibly have missed them, specially with Cerebra, have neglected a powerful contingent Namely Non-human looking mutants. Who no doubt have a unique perspective to the mutant struggle. Not able to blend in like the more fortunate homo superior. These individuals are shown as towing the line for Cyclops or Magneto. But why should they?

THE MORLOCKS


Seemingly wipe-out, it is unclear how many remaining Morlocks are active. The Chicago Tunnel Morlocks, The London Morlocks and presumably the countless other Morlocks yet to be discovered.


THE SAVAGE LAND MUTATES




Wouldn't it be interesting if the powers that be chose them to represent advancement for mutants? What could either Scott or Magnus say?

Who needs Sentinels when you have an army of mutants willing to fight their own kind to keep their new status.

Corrected it for you

Corrected it for you

Thanks. Stolen and inserted.

I forsee comments like : "they weren't pretty enough for Xavier/Scott/Mags", and then "Storm was too busy to take care of them" defense.

If any mutant has ever earned the right to sell out and join the man, its the Morlocks, Savage land mutates and the Neo/

[Sutekh]

Both groups are intriguing for different reasons.

The Morlocks, at least some of which have been redefined as former experimental subjects of the Dark Beast, could rally around their creator, if he decided that a smallish army of superhuman mutants was to his liking, and offered them some combination of protection from forces that would rather exterminate them (Sinister, humanity, etc.), direction of their mutation to give some of them either greater powers, greater control of their powers, or the ability to pass as human (depending on what that individual mutant would prefer), etc.

As for the Savage Land Mutates, the machinery used to advance them may still exist (or, thanks to Brainchild, be replicable), and while the Swamp Tribe are probably the least interesting tribe in the Savage Land, there's like thirty different tribes of humanoids in the Savage Land, and some of them are pretty funky. Bird man, ape man, 'zebra' men. I'd love to see a group of Pterons seize control of the machinery long enough to manufacture their own half-dozen or so super-powered pterodactyl-men, to sort of even up this inter-tribal arms race between tribes that have mutates and tribes that have been getting steamrollered and pushed out of their territories. The Savage Land is kind of dinky, actually, given how many different races live there, along with all the dinosaurs. It might be a more usable location if the 'Savage Land' was some sort of test bed for the technology, and further into the Antarctican continent there was a 'Savage World' composed of a dozen or so of those hex-shaped Savage Land modules, cloaked from the outside world by some sort of advanced stealth technology. The Savage Land may also have some Kree ties, and therefore some sort of Inhuman presence, which could add some additional sources of superhuman tension (all those Inhumans that used to support Maximus, Apocalypse and / or Maelstrom, there's like, twenty of them, and got themselves exiled, must have landed *somewhere...*).

The downside of either group getting picked up and dusted off is that the trend in comics for a few decades is that hidden lands exist for 10,000 years, until we discover them, in which case they get destroyed over and over for a few decades, whether it be Attilan at Marvel or Feithera at DC. Doesn't matter if your culture / society / species / *planet* has been around for centuries, millennia or aeons, within 10 years of being discovered, it will have been invaded, burned down and / or blown up at least twice. Mutant Morlocks in the tunnels under New York? Massacre! Lots of mutants on their own island nation off of Africa? Genocide! Cluster of Gene Nation survivors hiding out in central Africa? Dudes you never heard of (and probably won't ever again) spent billions of dollars hunting you down!

That, unfortunately, seems likely to be the fate of any Morlocks and / or Mutates showing up in the future, becoming the latest group-to-be-genocided by whatever brand new villain-you've-never-heard-of needs a fluffer to build up a reputation really fast.

Are they still alive as morlocks ? or were affected by the "no more mutants" spell ?.

[AcesX1X]

masque and his morlocks were alive and well. cyclop invited them to come live on utopia peacefully and free of persecution. until SHIELD showed up with anti-mutant weapons and displaced them all again.

Why that doesnt surprise me ?.

But magneto killed/tried to kill Mutants as well as Humans multiple times, and some how he is still considered an advocate for mutants.

what does that have to do with your OP?

In the MU mutants and Mutates are completly separate things, scientifically it make no sense but most of the Science in thr MU makes no sense.

And are there still any mutants that are morlocks now, any at all after Wanda did her thing?

[ExcelsiorPrime]

You were asserting that the government had a distrust of mutants and that somehow mutants wouldn't work for the GOVT. I was saying magneto was once distrusted and killed fellow mutants and they trust him.

So it isnt out of the question that Morlocks would fall in line for GOVT jobs as Mutant protectors.

Mutants arent born--being a Mutant isnt a race..its a genetic difference like having blue eyes, green, or Brown.

Its current nonsense that is trying to make them a race. In fact to further push the agenda humans giving birth to humans have all but stopped for the same nonsensical reason--to legitimize Cyclop's stance.
