How did Mutants get Their Power?

[Gilpesh]

Storm's ability to control solar winds is one of those bull**** abilities that don't make sense. Like when Cyclops' beams bounce off of mirrors instead of just shattering them, or Psylocke's psychic knife being used as an actual torch despite its appearance being a telepathic illusion.

Or Sentry existing!

I'm almost positive its been retconned as the Celestials messing with early humans, creating three branches. 1) Eternals 2) Deviants 3)Humanity

Humanity was modified to possess the potential for beneficial mutation, resulting in superpowers. Millennia of interbreeding, resulting in homo erectus, homo hablis and eventually homo sapiens caused this potential to manifest either as a recessive characteristic that could be catalysed by particular mutagenic stimuli (superhumans), as a specific gene activated at puberty (the purest form, and what probably accesses minute quantities of cosmic energy to cause the widespread superpowered phenotype), or not to be expressed at all.

 

[Manic]

Let's not forget about Killcrops. They're the early predecessors to mutants whose powers fully kicked in at birth instead of puberty. Old European myths of changelings (demon children that were swapped to replace a couple's real child) were these early mutants.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

The Celestials didn't create humanity, they took samples of early humans and created the Eternals and Deviants from them. Humanity evolved on its own, as far as I'm aware. They were like the control group of the Celestials' experiment on Earth.

 

[Anubis]

Maybe it's Mayballine.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Why can't she be true?

Namor and Apocalypse sitting in a tree...

Whats the difference between Earth X's origins and the official origins? They seem very similar.

 

[Anubis]

In Earth X, there's a baby Celestial at the center of the Earth and everybody with powers is basically antibodies designed to keep people from f**king with it. Oh, and the God's aren't God's, just aliens who got molested by the Celestials and evolved to a point where their physical forms are based on what other people think of them. In 616 God's are God's because they're God's, and there's no baby, so this was just regular Space God's f**king with people for no reason what so ever.

For some reason Earth X still makes more sense to me.

 

[Anubis]

It does to me too.

 

[fifthfiend]

Couldn't be. He got his powers from a mutant. Chicken or the Egg and all that.

Time travel!!

 

[fifthfiend]

Everything makes sense if you hit it with enough time travel.

By which I mean, makes so little sense that everyone stops asking about it.

 

[Anubis]

Take Cable for instance.

 

[SouLeSS]

I thought it was Pym and Magentos family and the parkers (Peters mom and dad) that were doing gene manipulation and arfitically created the first mutants (Logan, Magneto)?

Oh wait, that's just in the ultimate universe. Right.

 

[Anubis]

Now that's stupid.

 

[SouLeSS]

Ah, the perks of reading Ultimatum.

 

[Manic]

Take Cable for instance.

I can't decide whose origin is more confusing: Cable, or his sister Rachel. Rachel's story involves dying of old age, yet coming back in her early 20's again. I mean, god damn.

 

[The Question]

Storm's powers always bothered me. One could explain it as a psychokinetic ability to manipulate air molecules, thus altering air density and creating effects such as fog, rain, storm clouds, and snow-- but that still doesn't explain why the b**** can control solar winds.

I always kind of figured that the more out there mutant powers, like Storm or the Scarlet Witch, rely on some quantum physics string theory ********. So, like, Storm is actually effecting reality, but for some reason only in regards to weather, which is why her power effects things related to weather conceptually but not physically.

 

[Anubis]

Eh, I'll go with that line of bulls**t.

 

[Manic]

I love Iceman, but his power was elevated so much over the years that it no longer makes sense. For example, Iceman can no longer die. Whenever someone shatters him in his icy form, his disembodied consciousness just assembles a new ice body from nearby water and air moisture. And then he can change back into flesh again, same haircut and all.

 

[Anubis]

Yeah, I don't mind the whole not being able to die thing, but getting his flesh back is a bit much. And Yes I'm aware of how stupid that sounds not finding something believable when talking about a guy made of Ice, but, still.

Magento. One of the less known mutants.

You mean a God?
