X-Men Mutants

"We're mutants. Born different from baseline humanity, with an enhanced genome that gives us super-powers. You piss us off at your peril." - Shadowcat
America is the nation with the most mutants, in a post Genoshan Massacre World. As such, this page will speak primarily of American Mutants and Mutant Culture.

Nature

Human Mutants have many distinctive traits in regards to biology, physiology and genetics from other humans. Mutants can have wildly varying biologies depending on the nature of their mutation.
Mutation is caused by the X-Gene in the mutants' DNA. Mutations normally manifest themselves during puberty, often as a result of a traumatic event. Some mutants exhibit their mutations at birth, however, while others do not manifest their powers until adulthood. Secondary Mutation is a phenomenon in which an existing mutant gains additional powers, or a change in their appearance due to a second mutation.
Mutant breeding has notable implications, regarding the transmission of the mutant genome, or to hybridisation with others of human or extraterrestrial species.

Mutant Culture

Clothing
Jumbo Carnation and the X-Factory.
Tee-shirts can be created by some like Quentin Quire to demonstrate their beliefs, among them the well-known Magneto was right.
After joining the Avengers Unity Division, Wasp launched a cloth line named "Unity" based on mutants to promote mutants with the young and help fund the team.

Music
Juggernaut, Sentinel Bait, Cerebrastorm, and Dazzler.

Collectibles
Some people enjoy collecting objects related to heroes and villains. Briar Raleigh was used to going to such markets, where her friend Henry (who had worked some time for the Mutants Among Us show) had a stand based on Magneto, where he sold "Magneto was Right" t-shirts, a helmet of his (or a replica), a book called Holy Magneto, action-figurines in the effigy of the Master of Magnetism, and videos of his attacks. Among Skrulls, Red Skull, and other non-mutant villains, Mystique and Apocalypse collectables could also be found.

Television and Cinema
Some projects focused on mutants, like the Mutants Among Us of GNN Television, a show focused on sensational and anti-mutant aspects,[7] X-Force, later renamed X-Statix, a team of violent and media-driven mutant heroes,[8] and a show featuring the New Warriors.
Mutants are also, in many ways, a source of entertainment for the Mojoworld.
Based on the eponymous team, X-Statix: The Movie, directed by The Director and featuring Lennox Capriati as Phat/Billy-Bob Reilly, Rimi Withnail as U-Go Girl/Edie Sawyer, Jenny as Dead Girl, El Guapo (Robbie Rodriguez) (an added character), and other unnamed actors. Most of the crew was slaughtered by Sharon Ginsberg,[11] but the film was eventually released, with an unknown cast, and Doop possessed a copy.

Mutant Drugs

• Toad Juice: In the mutant slum of District X in Manhattan, a new party drug called Toad Juice sparked a turf war between rival racketeers seeking to monopolize it. The source of the drug was a mutant boy nicknamed Toad Boy, who secreted a psychotropic sweat that was then placed in blotter sheets and sold at various locations including Daniel Kaufman's club Daniel's Inferno.[1] Mister M de-powered Toad Boy's, thus destroying the only known source of Toad Juice.
• Kick: Hypercortisone D, better known by its street name Kick, is a highly addictive aerosol, used by metahuman individuals to attain a boost in their superhuman/mutant powers and a mental high. It was later revealed that Kick was in fact an aerosol form of the sentient bacteria, Sublime. Unaware of its connection with Sublime, this drug became very popular within the mutant community, especially in areas such as Mutant Town. Kick is used by metahuman individuals to attain boost in superhuman/mutant powers and a mental high. According to Quire, a puff enhances mutant talents up to five times. Both Quire and Frost stated that a Puff had five hours of effects. The sensations described by Quire was that Kick "rotted his X-Gene and killed him dead", and that it was like "breathing the electric air of the future". Emma Frost said that the young used it because "it made them feel like movie stars beings directed by God, on location in Heaven", and that she felt herself "angelic and violently insane".[1] Redneck described it as making "feel like the Incredible Hulk". This drug is highly addictive. Although not confirmed, it appears that long-term use of Kick causes psychosis. Although this psychosis could only be temporary. In rare instances, extreme long-term use can result in physical and mental possession by Sublime. It was believed that the Kick was neuro-toxic and could irreparably damage the X-Gene. Death may occur from an overdose of Kick.
• Mutant Growth Hormone: The Mutant Growth Hormone or MGH has been marketed and available even before the start of the super-hero age: Wilson Fisk had access to it before he became a powerful crime lord and it was also available before Dr. Stephen Strange studied magic in the 1960s. After these events, biochemist Dr. Henry McCoy, while working for the Brand Corporation on Long Island, developed an experimental serum that purportedly acted as a catalyst to activate latent mutations, with effects similar to the MGH. This may have been either a re-discovery of the MGH, or alternatively a different chemical compound. While it is most of the time extracted from mutants, it can also be extracted/synthesized from other super-powered individuals, but the source of their superpowers must alter their genetic make-up. For example, the Owl or Spider-Woman are not mutants, but their powers come from genetic mutations, and they were both used as MGH sources. Recently, it appears to be derived from Inhumans and is often referred to as I.G.H. The MGH is a drug having effects on the superhuman capacities of the users and varies according to the user' initial abilities. MGH is known to be highly addictive especially in baseline humans, and a known side effect of MGH use is increased aggression. When used by baseline humans, will result what's known as a "temporary genetic shift". In other words, it temporarily grants super powers like flight, fire breath, teleportation, or increased strength to its users. Most of the time, the powers are duplicates of those belonging to the donor, but results are known to vary. When MGH is used by a mutant or a metahuman, it increases the powers they already possess. It was described by Nitro as "steroids for powers".

Before the Sentinel Massacre
A mutant baby boom occurred in 2001. By this time, the vast majority of Earth's mutant population lived in the nation of Genosha, ruled by Magneto. Beast believed that the surge in the mutant population was linked to the emergence of secondary mutations.
It was also discovered at the same time that the Extinction Gene (a gene activated when an "entire species is about to go extinct") present within the human genome was slowly pushing them towards extinction, and that humans would be extinct within three, maybe four generations, and mutants would replace them.

Sentinel Massacre: Genosha's destruction
Before the Wild Sentinels attack on Genosha occurred the same year, the mutant population of Genosha was estimated at 16 million. In a plot orchestrated by Cassandra Nova, Genosha was destroyed, with almost all of its 16 million citizens being killed. After the destruction of Genosha, Cassandra Nova possessed Xavier's body and outed both him and the students of his school as mutants. Nova would go on to spread havoc throughout the galaxy, before the X-Men could finally stop her. As a result of their increasing visibility, mutant culture grew more popular. Despite the Genoshan genocide decimating the mutant population, mutant birthrates continued to increase. One year before the passing of the Superhuman Registration Act, a census revealed that mutant population would overtake humans within 10 to 20 years.
A drug known as Kick, derived from the essence of the sentient bacteria Sublime, began to spread among the mutant community. X-Man Xorn would become addicted to the drug. Driven insane by it, he impersonated Magneto, who was believed to have been killed during the Genoshan massacre, and launched an ill fated attack on New York. The X-Men managed to kill Xorn, at the cost of one of their own members, Jean Grey. The attack sent shockwaves throughout the human world, causing mutants to become more hated and feared than ever before.

Mutant Town

The rise in Manhattan's mutant population, coupled with racism among normal humans, led to mutants forming their own community in a ghetto established in the Alphabet City area of the East Village neighborhood of Manhattan. District X was the official title for the region; however, the region was more commonly referred to as Mutant Town. Mutant Town was very similar to, and served much the same purpose as, other minority ghettos in New York City like Chinatown, Harlem, Little Italy, or Greenwich Village. Soon the neighborhood was primarily populated by mutants, although some humans lived there as well.

The neighborhood was poor, overcrowded, and violent, with a high rate of crime, narcotics use, prostitution, burglary, and warring mutant gangs. It was once described as having the "highest unemployment rate in the United States, the highest rate of illiteracy and the highest severe overcrowding outside of Los Angeles."

Gang wars, such as the one between Daniel Kaufman and Frankie Zapruder, were frequent.

Many of its inhabitants possessed physical mutations that prevented them from blending in with human society. It also had a large underground population, inhabiting tunnels beneath the neighborhood similar to those of the Morlocks years before, or the Tunnel Rats.

Mutant Town was particularly notorious for the street drugs Kick, Toad, and MGH, sold by dealers such as Jazz and Charlie Hustle, or by Shaky Kaufman's and Filthy Frankie's gangs.

Center of Mutant Art & Culture

Despite the poverty and crime, Homo superior culture thrived here more than anywhere in the world outside of Genosha. Mutant Town quickly became a cultural center and population hub for a disenfranchised minority.
There was a range of mutant-owned businesses, clubs, and restaurants, including The Double Helix restaurant, X-Factory clothing, Café Des Artistes, Frankie's lounge, The Power Plant bar, and Mutatoo tattoo parlor. Mutant bands such as Sentinel Bait, Juggernaut and Cerebrastorm, along with nightclubs such as Daniel's Inferno, Wildkat Klub, Shakespeare's, and Wannabees created a vibrant, mutant-oriented nightlife. Many mutants used to work at such night-clubs, using their mutant powers or appearances, such as Lara King, Lorelei Travis, or Patricia Hamilton.

Mutant artists began to emerge, such as Nemesio Pietri, while mutant fashion designers like Jumbo Carnation became celebrities and mutant clothing line like BuFu were founded.

Mutant Town also gave rise to mutant spiritual leaders, such as Mr. M and Gregor Smerdyakov. X-Factor Investigations was founded to help fight crime, and X-Man Lucas Bishop was commissioned to police the area.

Locations of Note

Wildkat Klub: The Wildkat Klub was located in the district of New York City commonly referred to as Mutant Town. Residents were constantly exposed to the harassment of rival mutant gangs, bigoted humans, and capricious members of the NYPD.
Daniel's Inferno: Another mutant club.
McCarthy Avenue: One Batiment only, with many mutant residents.
11th Precinct Station House: The 11th Precinct Station House was the headquarters of the NYPD in Mutant Town, and had to deal with the social and criminality problems present in that area.
Power Plant: The Power Plant was a mutant-owned and operated bar located in Mutant Town and was directly across the street from the original X-Factor Investigations Headquarters. The Power Plant was a longtime bar in the heart of Mutant Town. Because it was located across the street from X-Factor Investigations Headquarters, the X-Factor Investigations crew frequentented the bar. After being recruited to XXX Investigations by Madrox, Wolfsbane met Strong Guy at the Power Plant for drinks. The fun was cut short when a dying dupe entered the bar and Jamie was forced to reabsorb him. To celebrate closing their first cases, the XXX Investigations crew went to have drinks at the Power Plant with their client Carol Campbell. Things got a bit dicey when Carol met Kim (her dead husband's male lover) and burst into flames. The Power Plant stayed open for after M-Day,[7] but business was never as good with many of the regulars moving away from the area. While Siryn was meeting a client in the Power Plant, the bar was gunned down and her client was murdered. After it was discovered that Multiple Man and/or one of his dupes slept with both Siryn and Monet on the same night, Jamie and Rictor had a heart to heart conversation over drinks at the Power Plant. While drinking alone (with a dupe), Madrox was approached by The Isolationist in the Power Plant. Following confession, Siryn told Monet about her unplanned pregnancy at the Power Plant.

Great Lakes Avengers/X-Men

A superhero team originally based out of Milwaukee, Wisconsin; then moved to Detroit, Michigan. They are the Midwest's greatest defenders. They are also the Midwest's only defenders. After Mr. Immortal discovered his powers after failing to killing himself, he decided to become a superhero and join a team of like-minded people. After placing a personal ad in a local newspaper, Mr. Immortal was joined by Big Bertha, Dinah Soar, Doorman and Flatman to make the Great Lakes Avengers. They also attracted the attention of a sexual deviant known only as Leather Boy who completely misunderstood the ad.
The Great Lakes Avengers have undergone many changes in their few scattered appearances. Mostly name changes. Fluctuating between different names almost every appearance, they also been known as the Lightning Rods, Great Lakes X-Men, Great Lakes Defenders, Great Lakes Champions and mostly recently as part of the Initiative under the name Great Lakes Initiative. The team line-up has mostly remained the same with the only major addition being Squirrel Girl. Other members of note include Hawkeye, Mockingbird and honorary member Deadpool.

X-Statix

After the original X-Force seemed to sacrifice themselves, producer Spike Freeman thought up an idea to have a public mutant team with government backing, under the management of Coach.

Most of the original members were killed, especially in a disastrous mission trying to save the 'boy band' pop group Boyz R' Us from kidnappers. This was secretly planned by Coach and Zeitgeist, who felt the body count and changing rosters would add interest. Zeitgeist was regretful though, and ended up being one of the members killed, and only U-Go Girl and the recent recruit Anarchist survived.

Based on those two and on Mister Sensitive, a new roster was set up. The team also quickly fight with the original X-Force, led by Domino, for the name of the team.

Under the Orphan (Mister Sensitive)'s lead, the team started act also in a less interested way, saving a mutant child, Paco Perez, from military interest and disobeying to the Coach.

When U-Go Girl, was captured by Zeitgeist and his team, the X-Cellent for her powers. The team was needed to reunite. Dead Girl and Doop grabbed the once-dead Mister Sensitive and Vivisector. They moved on to some of their teammates children. The A, son of Anarchist, and Phatty, daughter of Phat, were both recruited.

O-Force

The team was said to be created for a reality television show where mutants compete for a place in the O-Force team. Three of the trainees Oracle, Oink, and Orifice were only pictured in a single panel and did not later appear with the team because they din't make the team.

The O-Force television show airs with the mutants being Overkill, Orchid, Optoman, and Ozone. They compete in a fight onscreen, with Optoman taking the brunt of it. Later, as the team is assembled a video is shown across the nation of a practice mission. O-Force's first mission is to rescue a group of actors from a mansion filled with gunmen. X-Statix does not believe the mission is anything more then a set-up to make the actors and O-Force look good. This is confirmed by the thought bubbles of Solomon O'Sullivan, O-Force's agent. Then gunmen who threaten the actors then are later slaughtered to a man, wear the same uniform as the ones who killed many members of X-Statix before.

It is announced on television that O-Force's next mission will be to take back a small town from the control of a reality-altering mutant named Arnie Lundberg. As Solomon briefs his tea, the Orphan breaks in tries to warn them. He is attacked and beaten by the team. They decided to go anyway.

The initial attack goes badly. An army of the undead, raised by Arnie, attacks the team. Ocean's legs are blown off. She begs Overkill for help but he abandons her. The Orphan parachutes in and saves Ocean. The rest of X-Statix quickly arrive as backup, thus saving the lives of O-Force. Arnie Lundberg is convinced to use his powers for good and heals Ocean's legs and the team is carted off by the ambulances.

Thunderiders

The Thunderiders are mutants that travel and perform as motorcycle race and stunt riders. They were formerly known as Team America. Each member of the team is psychically linked to one another and can transfer all of their abilities and knowledge into one host body. This host body takes the form of The Black Marauder or Dark Rider. They originally called themselves Team America. At one time Professor X led the team on missions.

Morlocks

The Morlocks were a large community of mutants who felt they were outcasts, living in the underground tunnels beneath New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut. These tunnels were built in the 1950s by the U.S. Government as shelters in case of a national emergency, and later abandoned. The vast majority of the public had no idea these tunnels existed. There were numerous tunnels stretching out of sight, many unexplored. The main tunnel was 50 feet high and ran the length of Manhattan. It was called "the alley" by its inhabitants. The Morlocks were outcasts and rebels against surface society who named themselves after a race found in H. G. Wells' book, The Time Machine.
They were founded by Callisto, who discovered the tunnels and moved into them decades ago, shortly after they were abandoned. She enlisted the aid of Caliban in finding other mutants to create a new underground society and maintained the tunnels until the Mutant Massacre.
Morlock society had no actual class system, except for the leader who all Morlocks obeyed, somewhat like a huge street gang. Until recently, the leader was Callisto. Under her reign, Morlocks often raided the surface world, preying on the lower classes so that losses as a result of their activities would not be noticed. They stole furnishings, food, clothing, and the other necessities of life, but sometimes they stole children, too, as many Morlocks were sterile. This raiding was discontinued when Callisto lost her rule to Storm in a fight.
Most Morlocks were hideous and deformed, yet another reason for them to dwell away from society. When Storm and the X-Men offered to help resettle them on the surface, they declined because they felt the tunnels were the right place for them. This image of themselves as almost sub-human psychologically affected most Morlocks who felt frustrated, bitter, and vengeful about their situation.
Morlock society had many of its conflicts settled by combat. The decision of who would be the Morlock leader was settled by mortal combat in the past. Storm actually stabbed Callisto through the heart, officially killing her, and won the title. Though Storm was not in residence, she was still considered the leader. Callisto was saved from death at the last moment by the Healer. Though she was no longer the official ruler, Callisto usually made sure that law and order was upheld in Morlock society while Storm was gone.
Most of the Morlocks were hunted down and murdered by a group of mutant assassins known as the Marauders. The majority of the Morlocks that survived stayed with the X-Men. Sunder would later die by a Reaver, Masque and Callisto and others would leave the Institue. Many other Morlocks also were rescued by X-Factor and stayed under their protection for a while.
Masque would later lead a group of horribly mutated Morlocks against the X-Men and New Mutants.[8][9] When Masque was killed after challenging X-Force, the Morlocks fell into chaos without a leader.[10] Callisto returned and her suicidal lover Mikhail Rasputin was flooded the tunnels and transported a number of Morlocks to a dimension called The Hill.

Trivia

There's a lot of mutant stuff. Feel free to invent your own ideas and pitch them to the GMs.

• The Mutants here are in various countries, and more will be added as it goes on.
