When were mutants discovered?

[Neto Magnus]

32 A.D.

like I said many times, the wolverine movie will be taking place back in the time of Jesus Christ, Logan will walk with him, be his 13th apostle, he will also fight the Romans with JC, and the reason Logan turns into an outcast is because of Jesus's death........ they will show him crying below the cross, then all a sudden, his claws come out, his cuts jesus down and holds him in his arms crying, he will be there when Jesus is resurected, and Logan's gift from JC is immortality, they showed that in X3........

The Passion of the Wolverine

Wasn't Jesus the very first mutant?

I always thought folks like Nostradamus were explained with this kind of plot lol

And yes ive heard of Apocalypses story, but i guess wed have to wait for the prequel spinoffs for more info as to the movie verses period of identifying it as a scientific mutation and not just like... weird phenominon.

In the movieverse, as far as we can tell, Magneto and Charles are some of the first, as seen by Mags flashback to Nazi camps. In the comics, the mutant gene was first discovered by Nathaniel Essex back in the 1859, although mutation had been occuring for some time from what he could tell. But around 1859 was when mutation began to rapidly occur. By the way, in case you are unaware, Nathaniel Essex is Mr. Sinister. He was not born a mutant, rather mutated when he met En Sabah Nur (Apocalypse). Technically, Apocalypse was, as far as I can discern, the first mutant. Born back in the First Dynasty of Ancient Egypt. He was born disfigured, abandoned, and found by raiders who worshipped him as a god. He has since been altered by alien technology, making him almost immortal. So there ya go. Apocalypse is the first mutant, Mr Sinister was the first to discover mutation, and mankind began to transform into Homo-Superior more rapidly around 1859.

Yeah, we know all that about the comics, we're talking about the movies here.

I don't think Apocalypse exists in the movie-verse. Surely, he would be an omega, Level 5, mutant in the movies, and if so, Callisto would have sensed him. And she didn't. She only sensed one Level 5 mutant, and that was Jean.

Actually if you were to go by movieverse Wolverine would of been one of the first not Magneto or Charles, as seen in X1 where Logan is at the camp where Magneto is as a child. He is one of the soldiers.

What?? Logan was a NAZI??


LOL

I would watch X1 again, the very beginning with Magneto as a child, when he first uses his power to try and open the gate. One of the soldiers is a very young maybe late teens early 20's Logan( no beard, clean face). He's not the soldier that knocks Magneto out, but the last one you see looking at the gate. I think he had more of an expression on his face that the child Magneto was different like he was. So yes Logan might have been a Nazi or atleast a soldier at the camp. In X1 when Magneto looks at Logan's dog tags, the numbers are similar to the ones marked on Magneto's hand. Also in X2 Stryker mentions at the end that Logan did some horrible things in his past. Where he came from he would not like to remember. In X1 Jean hinted that Logan was quite possibly older than Professor, due to his healing factor.

How come you think that soldier is Logan? Has anyone else stated that he could be Wolverine?

 

[ico]

Yes but to make out like that soldier was Logan is a bit far fetched

 

[tclark10]

Well when they make the guy look like a younger version of Jackman, then i would say yeah they were trying to imply it was him. Why else would Magneto recognize Wolverine's Dog tag numbers. They were close to the numbers Magneto has tattooed on himself from the camp.

This is answered in x2. Magneto knows who William Stryker is and he knows he experiments with adamantium.

^ Pretty much blows your "Logan was a Nazi" theory outta the water, huh.

 

[*xmenfan*]

good question i want to know that as well lol .

Well it's already been pretty much narrowed down. At least, when mutancy became public knowledge all over the world.

It was somewhere between 1986 - 1996.
1986 was the year when Xavier and Eric "recruited" a young Jean to the School for Gifted Youngsters. At this time, the world was in general not aware of mutancy, as seen by Jean's parents believing that Jean had an "illness", and by Jean herself not knowing that there were other mutants.
1996 was the year when we flashed-back to a young Warren Jr, trying to hack off his wings as they were starting to grow. When his father see's them, he reacts with the line "No... not you too," thus implying that he knows of mutants, and the whole scene implied that Warren Jr knew of them too, hence him trying to hack them off in order to please his father.

But, the Government at least must have known about mutancy before this, as witnessed by Stryker and his experiments on mutants, many many years ago. Wolverine is living proof of this.

1986? Jeans flashback looked more like 1960-1970's. The cars are of that era.

I thought so too, but it did only say "20 Years Earlier" in the flashback. Though, it could have meant 20 Years Earlier than the Agnel flashback that was coming, but that doesn't make much sense. Seeing as Jean was roughly 10 in the flashback, that would make her about 40+ present day.

How exactly is my theory blown out of the water? And i watched it again on Saturday, i still believe that the one soldier was meant to be a younger Logan. Im not saying Logan should of been a Nazi, but it could of been a possibilty. But hey i guess thats just my opinion then, the only people that really know are the writers.
