MCU X-Men

[Silvermoth]

Mutants don't really need to be a side effect of Thanos. Just say they've always been here and were just now getting to see this side of the world. Or maybe because of the Avengers and the existence of aliens prompted mutants to show themselves.

Yeah that's what I want too. Don't try and confuse the audience

 

[Mad Ones]

I personally dislike both the idea that mutants age slower and the idea that mutation is a byproduct of an infinity stone.

The first issue of X-men: Grand Design came out last Wednesday. It's a chronological retelling of the X-men history from the 60s to the 90s. The author makes a few minor changes to continuity to make the stories a little tighter and a little connected. The fist issue covered everything from Xavier and Magneto's childhoods to the founding of the X-men. I'd recommend it to anyone working at a Marvel reboot to give them an understanding of the foundations and major storylines.

Sorcerers and magic have been around for centuries and probably thousands of years. We don't see them at all until Doctor Strange. It wouldn't be that hard to work around.

 

[xrs13]

Realistically you could have mutants be covered up by the illuminati that could feature Xavier, Doc Strange and Panther

Why not? They could also tie it into the Celestial origin from the comics

 

[I Am The Knight]

Aside from their abilities, all mutants age a lot slower than humans. This was the reason why some mutants like Magneto believe that they were chosen by evolution to rule over the world and the weak humans. This resolve was only strengthened by Eric's experiences with human savagery during the holocaust.

The existence of mutants have been known to the world throughout human history. This however, have been kept in secret by governments because mutant numbers are still small and manageable. To avoid panic among the citizens. The government have been in talks in the background with Eric and Xavier's institution to quell and quickly silence any incidents involving mutants. The X-Men were sent in covertly.

Eric have always been against this stating that it was supposed to be a sanctuary for mutants and not an institution of puppets under human control. Despite this Magneto went along with it for years as he still believes in his
friend's vision.

Sometimes during these incidents, Magneto and the entire X-men have seen first-hand what humans were capable of towards mutants out of fear, hatred and wanton discrimination. Over the years Magneto became angrier and angrier until during one of their missions where they found out about experimentation done on mutants by another country.

This led Magneto to ultimately leave the team and start his brotherhood. At first, the brotherhood went underground as the time was not yet right for mutant domination for their numbers were still few.

Add the fact that some members had to face off against the Avengers. Luckily, such incidents were few and the heroes only know them as "enhanced" for Nick Fury nor the government have yet to disclose this information.

Post Infinity war, the world was in chaos. The destruction left by Thanos left a huge part of Earth in ruin and millions died around the globe.

This was the time Magneto was waiting for. And so from out of the shadows, Magneto and his brotherhood announced to the world than their rightful rulers have arrived.

The Avengers were quick to answer the new threat but were stopped by Nick Fury. "Gentlemen, meet the X-Men"

Not bad

 

[AndrewGilkison]

I think it would be best if we held off on giving any kind of explanation for mutants. There should be mystery and intrigue surrounding mutants and the mutant gene. Hard to achieve that if you try to explain everything.

 

[CaptainWagner]

As someone already mentioned, no one questioned that sorcerers have been active for thousands of years in the MCU. I don't think there will be any issues that mutants have existed in the MCU all along.

 

[psylockolussus]

Mutants are thousands of people throughout the Earth and are mostly ordinary people who didn't choose to get mutant abilities, unlike sorcerers who usually work in the shadows.

 

[Mad Ones]

The world of the MCU should be similar to ours regarding our history of creating urban legends and showcasing people who look different in circuses and "freak shows." The MCU can say that there have been Mutants all along, but now that number is increasing to the point where it is now an identity and the mutations are far more diverse than before due to the nuclear age. That's how the comics did it and it works just fine.

 

[Gamma Goliath]

Again we've just been watching movies about these characters in isolated events where it makes no sense to hear about mutants. All you do is have fury nonchalantly mention something the surge in the mutant population in the last 30 years or something like that. It doesnt have to be hard.

 

[psylockolussus]

I hope they have even numbers for the guys/gals for the first film's X-Men roster. Just like in my signature.

I don't know about even, but if they were to do the O5, for instance, I'd want expect Tessa, Candy Southern, Val Cooper and Moira McTaggert are all main cast.

It is if people are fighting for 30 year old X-Men. That's 15 years of an explosion of kids with out of control powers. That's something that naturally would have come up, and it just betrays the reality that it's an unneeded half-baked retcon that either presumes suspension of disbelief, or insults the audience's intelligence, or just plain old doesn't care.

The nuclear age started a while back. A recent population explosion would have to be due to recent radiation trends, say from the massive amount of wifi and cellular signals now permeating modern society. Would also actually explain the concentration of mutants in developed countries and in urban areas.

Mutants are thousands of people throughout the Earth and are mostly ordinary people who didn't choose to get mutant abilities, unlike sorcerers who usually work in the shadows.

Exactly. Dr. Strange understood that having active sorcerers for thousands of years SHOULD bring attention, and so it very cleverly developed something called the Mirror Dimension. That whole point of the aftermath of TAO's battle with the dark wizards in that opening fight, showing her exiting the mirror dimension, demonstrating how and why wizards are unknown, something key to the premise of the film where Dr. Strange is naive to their existence. Some people don't care about this kind of versimilitude, but great storytellers answer these kinds of questions before they're asked, and make sure to provide lots of very strong supports for people to lay their suspension of disbelief on.

Yes that would be good to see (and easy to do).

 

[psylockolussus]

There's enough X-Women to feature unlike in Avengers, Guardians of the Galaxy, Fantastic Four and Justice League in which there are fewer female members.

I also don't like the idea of mutation being a byproduct of an infinity stone. That makes the mutants basically like inhumans. The inhumans are the result of alien experimentation and also powers are active by the terrigen mist. Meaning that some outside invadors (aliens) created the inhumans and their powers are activated by some mist. Mutants on the other hand are born with xgene and their powers activate during puberty or a random stressful event. Mutants don't have a choice, they are born that way. Which is a very important aspect of mutants and what they represent.

Celestials were the ones who introduced the X-gene into Humanity. (Not sure if this was retconed) so It's not at all hard to imagine the Infinity Gems activating it as a result. It's a way to tie Mutants into the wider MCU while giving a viable explainatiom for the mass emergence of mutants

I don't like it either, but we all want a mutant population explosion, and those things have causes.

I prefer if mutants were somehow in hiding all this time or if the government was hiding the existence of the mutants or the government was secretly capturing mutants and experimenting on them. Which would explain their disappearance and why many mutants have not came out due to fear. That's just me, I'm sure marvel will find a way.

 

[Dark Raven]

Maybe Marvel will make a film called Mut-Ant-Man.

A lot of Mutants are trouble makers I doubt the government could keep them hidden all this time.
