Mutant is biologically an inaccurate term, as basically everyone is a mutant in one way or another? Why thank you Warren Ellis, I never would have noticed that!

Seriously, a better way to have done this would have been to have Beast make a joke about how much he hates the term mutant as a scientist.

Every human being alive is born with over a hundred mutations, and we gain a hundred more as we grow up.

Science is awesome that way.

I've wanted Beast to go on a chatshow and clear these things up forever. Cus that's the sort of thing he'd do. For instance he could mention that the term Homo Sapiens Superior was coined by the terrorist Magneto* and that they're all human in the end. Sigh. As of Endangered Species mutants are a separate species though.


*Term possibly retconned to be older by now I guess.
