If a mutant is someone who is born with their powers, then how would Wanda know whether she's a mutant or really a witch if her powers manifest in the same way? How would anyone know what they were to be attributed to?
For example, Samantha in Bewitched was born a witch. She didn't acquire her powers as the result of an accident or by learning it. Now she would never class herself as anything other than a witch, but wouldn't she by the X-Men definition be classed as a mutant since she was born that way?
Or is Elsa from Frozen a mutant or just someone born with elemental powers? If Agatha were born a witch, wouldn't she by definition be a mutant? But she'd never call herself that.
Does it really matter what they call themselves and is there any real difference? Who is to say whether Wanda is a witch or a mutant?
