The product of tampering, evolution, or... something ELSE?

Eternals

About one million years ago, the "evolutionary borderline between apes and humans" emerged: Homo erectus. Two of that kind were given a paradise-like haven by the time-travelling godlike entity Sise-Neg, resulting in the two spawning a tribe over the centuries known as the Wanderers which had their leader and its mate return each year (in the course of the tribe's migration) to the Garden.
One year, they encountered the Tribe of Set, who asked the two to join them by killing their own tribe and aid Set's followers in approaching the Celestials. The ape-men then recognized what Evil was and rejected it, thereby revealing the Tribe of Set as the Serpent-Men. The Wanderers' tribe drove them out of the Garden, and at the end of the battle, the tribe then witnessed the arrival of the Celestials,[5] ten of them, as part of the First Host, under the kind surveillance of Gaea.
Gaea encouraged the Wanderers to go towards the Space Gods, and Gammenon the Gatherer collected Man-Ape of the Wanderers whom he sent to Ziran the Tester who mutated them to have an unstable genome, creating the Deviants (Homo descendus),[8] a race with various mutations, who were then released and went hiding in the caves.With other subjects, Nezarr the Calculator then created the Eternals (Homo immortalis), hairless, upright tall beings able to tap into the cosmic power. They were themselves released, flying out of the Celestials' laboratory-ship. Finally, Oneg the Prober created a latent gene (or "latent genes",[5] "mutant genes")[6] for the expansion of human potential. The Serpent-Men tried to usurp the Wanderers' place but were driven out by Arishem the Judge.
After weeks of experiments, the last subjects of Oneg were released and the Celestials left the planet

Deviants

During their First Host on Earth, one million years ago, the Celestials collected the Wanderers, a tribe of Homo erectus.
Gammenon the Gatherer collected the ape-men and send them to Ziran the Tester who mutated them to have an unstable genome, creating the Deviants (Homo descendus), a race with destabilized DNA expressing into various mutations, who were then released and went hiding in the caves.With other subjects, Nezarr the Calculator then created the Eternals (Eternals (Homo immortalis)), hairless, upright tall beings able to tap into the cosmic power. They were themselves released, flying out of the Celestials' laboratory-ship. Finally, Oneg the Prober created a latent gene for the expansion of human potential.

Gen-Active

The Gen-factor was discovered by Dr. Simon Tsung of Project Genesis while examining the body of Ethan McCain. After Tsung left the project, his protege Gabriel Newman continued his research. Early experiments to activate the factor in humans failed, until "Gen 12", the strike force known as Team 7.
International Operations leader Miles Craven had Kaizen Gamorra created a synthesized version of the Gen-factor, which made its way to the black market. Anyone who could afford it (and survived the process) could activate the Gen-factor.
Project: Genesis was restarted well over a decade later, and this time, Craven chose to experiment on the Gen 12, expecting a better genetic compatibility with the treatment. These children were known as Gen 13.

Inhumans

Millions of years ago, the alien race known as the Kree visited Earth and experimented with a group of primitive humans. Their intent was to engineer soldiers in their intergalactic war for conquest, but instead it was foretold that said creations would one day destroy them. The Kree ended their experiments and left the Earth, expecting the experiments to die, but the test subjects and their descendants would go on to form a society of their own isolated from the rest of humanity. They became known as The Inhumans, an advanced sub-species of the human race who gain their powers through exposure to Terrigen Mist, which activates the augmentations in their DNA. Although The Inhumans were first believed to only exist in their city of Attilan, led by the Inhuman Royal Family, it was later discovered that Inhuman descendants are in fact scattered across the planet. Today, Inhumans are a unique species living alongside their human brethren, mutants, aliens, and others.

Mutants

Mutants, despite their human origins, have many distinctive traits in regards to biology, physiology and genetics from their evolutionary predecessors. 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.

Mutate

The Mutates are mutants that were modified using a process created by the Genegineer, David Moreau on the island nation of Genosha. These mutates were used as slaves of the humans there.
When the mutates were freed, a government was formed with a mutant-human coalition, to avoid a Civil War. The Legacy Virus later affected "Genoshan mutates" more so than Genosha's human population. As Magneto conquered Genosha, after Colossus sacrificed himself to cure the virus, the mutates gathered under his rule and joined his army in order to oppose the human world.
Alternately, Mutates are typically humans or animals that have been somehow genetically mutated in order to attain their superhuman abilities, for example by exposure to magic, radiation or toxic waste, or through the bite of a genetically-engineered spider, et cetera.

Mothervine Mutants

Mothervine was an aggressive biotech enhancement tailored to engineer mutant childbirths. It was fabricated by H.E.L.L. industries. Through a chain of fertility health care clinics using able or expectant mothers to carry unborn children to full term as test subjects for the weaponization of mutation. Highly aggressive programmable Homo superior power activation triggered via voice command, the process created latent mutant sleeper agents able to turn into strategic WMDs upon passphrase initiation.
Once triggered the intended Mothervine active power would not cease until they had fulfilled their programmed target parameter or until the triggered host was terminated. During his days as a government agent, Logan was tasked with a S.H.I.E.L.D. operation to ascertain an exact understanding of Project: Mothervine and root out its functioning before terminating any existing information on the drug itself. Unfortunately he was beaten to the punch by rival agent and former lover, Magda Lensherr, who unbeknownst to him was both carrying the purest strain of the experimental pharmaceutical, as well as pregnant with their unborn son.
This son grew up to carry the very same strain his mother injected herself with, in an absolute concentrated state. Some years later, as Jimmy came of age after his parents' supposed demise, a fellow mutant named Black Box keyed in on a signal emitted by the holographic memento left to Hudson by his late father, carrying the sensitive information about a location where detailed schematics and composition information on the Mothervine project formula was kept for over a decade.

Earth-I Mutants

Some time later, it is found out that all the Earth-I mutants are descendants from an alien race and an alien ship is on a collision course with Earth. Cyberforce deems that they need to stop the alien ship so they go and attempt to recruit Impact back to the team. He wants a normal life away from all the action. The team finally convinces O'Shea to rejoin them but he tells them that he wants a new chocolate lab puppy after the mission is over. The reformed team heads to space and boards the alien ship. They soon battled the giant aliens on board. The team discovers that the aliens planned on killing all their descendents which they deemed "lesser beings". Impact convinces the team that he can delay the aliens, buying time for the rest of them to escape. As the remaining members of Cyberforce escaped the plummeting ship, Impact engages his genetic forefathers, occupying them long enough for the ship to collide with the atmosphere, throwing it off course and crashing into the ocean. His sacrifice saves an untold millions of people.

Animen/New Men (Counter-Earth)

The New Men are an artificial race of mutagenically altered, Human-size animals created by the High Evolutionary to possess human-equivalent minds and consciousness. When Wyndham evolved his Dalmatian Dempsey into humanoid form, the being escaped and was killed by Wyndham's neighbors.
Realizing he needed isolation to work on his creations in private, Wyndham relocated to Wundagore Mountain in the eastern European country of Transia. The New Men were created there, and educated and trained in the ways of speech by way of electronic tutoring programs.

Nu-Gene Humans

The Nu-Gene is a result of an alien scientific experiment on human genetics to breed a race of humans to be more powerful and evolved. These aliens are known as the Keep. Although this Nu-Gene created humans similar to the well known Mutants of the Marvel Universe, it also was responsible for the creation of mythical creatures, like vampires and werewolves.

Gargoyles

The exact origins of gargoyles lie so far back in the mists of time that we have no certain details as to how they came about, although they were extant during the time of Pangea. We do know that they are descended from other gargate species, and not aliens or creatures of magic. Gargoyles were the first of the Three Races to come into existence, preceding humans, who themselves preceded Oberon's Children. Gargoyles are, however, younger than dragons. They enjoy a close link to the Earth that may be the result of their great age, and which strongly affects their stone sleep and strict breeding cycles.
By the dawn of recorded human history, gargoyles had spread throughout the planet, and clans could be found all over the world. This period of prosperity came to an end, however, when humans learned how to work metal, particularly with the dawn of the Iron Age. Humans had long feared gargoyles, believing them to be demonic monsters because of their frightening appearance and nocturnal nature, but had up until now been no threat to them; at night, the gargoyles were too formidable to be safely challenged, being much stronger than humans and able to glide, and the crude and primitive weapons of the Stone Age were no danger to a gargoyle in their stone-like sleep. But when humans armed themselves with iron weapons, they could come upon gargoyles in their sleep and shatter them. Many clans were destroyed this way, and the remainder were forced to retreat far from human society, into the wilderness where it was safe.
But not all humans treated gargoyles this way. Some humans realized that the gargoyles, because of their fighting skills, made excellent allies in defending their homes from rival human bands. These humans sought out gargoyle clans and obtained permission from them to build fortified homes for themselves atop the cliffs where gargoyles kept their rookeries. By day, the humans in such a fortress would watch over the gargoyles in their sleep, and protect them from harm, while at night, the gargoyles would protect the humans' home from attackers. And for a while, this strategy worked.
But it did not last long. As time wore on, the humans who had initially formed these alliances came to fear their gargoyle protectors, considering them unnatural creatures and savage beasts. Tensions grew between the two races, and usually, they ended with the humans turning on their former protectors and destroying them. The numbers of gargoyles grew steadily fewer. At last, humans came to abandon these alliances altogether (for the most part), and the surviving gargoyles fled into the wilds to hide. By 1994, there were only eight gargoyle clans left in the world. Beyond this general course of gargoyle history, a few specific events stand out. The earliest recorded event in gargoyle history took place during the reign of Caesar Augustus (27 BC - 14 AD), the first Emperor of Rome. By Augustus's day, there were few gargoyles living in the lands taken up by the Roman Empire, largely because there was so little wilderness left in it for them to hide in, but occasionally, gargoyles were brought before the Emperor.
At that time, gargoyles' garments did not turn to stone with them in the daytime, and so when a gargoyle awakened from stone sleep at sunset, his or her garments would be torn asunder by the process, rendering him or her naked. Augustus, a man with strong "family values" and very desirous of restoring high standards of morality to Rome, was displeased by this, and had one of his advisers, a powerful wizard, cast a "spell of humility" over the entire gargoyle race, causing their clothes to turn to stone with them henceforth.
At about this time, the legendary Irish hero Cu Chullain was accompanied on many of his adventures, including his defeat of the Banshee, by a gargoyle beast which came to be known as the "Hound of Ulster" (although later on, the name came to be applied to Cu Chullain himself and the gargoyle beast came to be forgotten). About five hundred years later, King Arthur Pendragon of Britain also made the acquaintance of gargoyles, although the medieval romancers who wrote about him and his knights likewise ignored their part in the history of Camelot. [6] Few humans were as willing to accept gargoyles as these two legendary heroes had been. And so, by the dawn of the High Middle Ages in the 11th Century, gargoyles had become so rare that humans believed them to be extinct (and few mourned that). Indeed, in Europe the 11th Century saw the end of one of the last alliances between humans and gargoyles, that formed between King Macbeth of Scotland (1040-1057) and Demona, which ended in 1057 when Demona betrayed Macbeth to the forces of Malcolm Canmore, bringing about the destruction of Demona's Clan as well as Macbeth's downfall. The Age of Gargoyles was at an end.
In spite of this, humans vaguely remembered that gargoyles were protectors, and although it did nothing to change their opinions about living gargoyles, they still placed gargoyle-like sculptures atop their castles and cathedrals, believing that they would protect these places from demons and evil spirits. So some measure of the true legacy of gargoyles remained. In 1996, humanity as a whole suddenly became aware of the existence of living gargoyles once again when Goliath and the Manhattan Clan were revealed to the public in New York City by the Hunters, and most of them were terrified. Most of the human citizens of New York called out for the gargoyles to be destroyed or captured and locked away, and some of them even joined an organization of gargoyle-hunters called Quarrymen.
