What about Namora? Or was she still dead around this time?
>>82560783
Marvel's been referring to Namor as "The First Mutant" since at least the 1990s, but there were hints as far back as the 60s.
It's because Namor has powers that no other Atlantean has, caused by his X-Gene.

i know anon, but it feels like everything is getting so homogenized in the mu, why didnt they made a different kind of mutant instead of the xgene. like the avengers, every fucking character has been in it

Celestials
how about 2 panels?

Yeah I'm pretty sure I read an issue just last month that referred to Namor as a mutant, either in Lee & Kirby's first 10 Fantastic Four issues or in Avengers #1
Two for the price of one
What makes Namor a mutant though?
>>82562975
Feet wings
>>82562975
Maybe the wings on his feet
Does this count?

Holy shit i never knew i wanted this team up, how dose this play out.

Holy shit that art is so bad
>>82560783
he has been explicitely a mutant since the early 90s when the X-Men were superpopular
also, he was an excellent x-men
>>82565632
he was an X-man? did he do anything on the team?

Weirdly just like Namora and Namorita. Pretty much anytime a human/Atlantean hybrid is born they get ankle wings and insane strength
>>82560813
This honestly would have been a lot better without any words at all.
>>82569848
If that happens every single time wouldn't that be a case of a hybrid species, not a mutation?
>>82560366
How come Namor is considered a mutant when Spiderman isn't ?
>>82569979
True, but I think the idea is to show whether read or seen few words and images can both summarize Superman's origin story swiftly and succinctly.
The specifics of his powers are another matter, but that's not a character's origin.
>>82570157
if you're born with it, you're a mutant
if you gained it later, you're a mutate.
however mutates tend to have mutant children
>>82570644
maybe its maybelline?
>>82570644
But Marvel's mutants aren't usually born with their powers, they're triggered later in life. Who's to say getting bitten by a radio-active spider isn't a mutation triggering event?
>>82570684
nice
>>82562222
Actualy Stan Lee said they came up with Mutants as a way to make more characters without having to invent more new ways for people to gain powers.
>>82570748
No, mutants are born with their powers,
>>82570748
There's no trigger. It just happens. Like puberty.
>>82576369
No, they are not.
>>82576419
Mutants superpowers are a normal part of their biology
>>82560366
Namor is best when he doesn't give a fuck about mutant bullshit, they are all just surfacers to him. He's too busy being the pimp-king of Atlantis.
Also hack writers doing the whole SPLIT BEWTWEEN HIS TWO GENETIC HERITAGES! bullshit rarely comes off well
>>82569979
I completely disagree.
Doomed planet.
Desperate scientists
Last hope
Kindly couple
Those 8 words give me goosebumps every time I read them and perfectly sum up Superman's origin.
I agree that it would totally work without words, but I think the words Morrison used were fantastic.
But then I am biased, it is one of my favourite pages in all of comics.
>>82565568
I've seen worse. It's not John "everyone I draw has a weird block head" Romita jr. levels of bad
