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.
