Mutations are depicted as generally manifesting during adolescence, however this is not universal. At one point, Beast states that the X-Gene is located on the 23rd chromosome the process described is that the gene activates mutation producing a protein stimulating chemical signals which induce mutations on other genes.

Following the relaunch under writer Chris Claremont, narration in stories taking place on Muir Island described Moira MacTaggert as 'second only to Charles Xavier as an authority on genetic mutation.' In the New Mutants graphic novel, after witnessing Rahne Sinclair demonstrate her mutant shapeshifting ability, MacTaggert refers to 'an anomalous DNA matrix' in her blood signaling that Sinclair 'could be a mutant.' The cause of mutation was elaborated upon in the first issue of the spin-off series X-Factor, in which Cameron Hodge refers to 'people who possess the X-Factor mutation in their genetic makeup.' This genetic mutation was later dubbed the X-Gene. X-Men, for Ex-tra power!' This issue also features the first reference to mutants as the species 'Homo Superior' by Magneto. The first in-story mention of mutants in this context is in The X-Men #1, in which Professor Xavier explains his school to the newly-admitted Jean Grey: 'You, Miss Grey, like the other students at this most exclusive school, are a mutant! You possess an extra power.one which ordinary humans do not!! That is why I call my students. In early X-Men stories, Professor Xavier and others suggest that mutation is related to nuclear radiation, as his parents worked on the development of the atomic bomb, though later descriptions of mutation would describe it deriving from genetics. Following the 1963 debut of this conception of mutants in the superhero series X-Men, Marvel later introduced several additional mutant superhero teams, including The New Mutants, X-Factor, Excalibur, X-Force, and Generation X. As part of the concept, Lee decided that these mutant teenagers should, like ordinary ones, attend school in order to better cope with the world, in this case Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters. The modern concept of mutants as an distinct species independent of homo sapiens began development under Marvel writer and editor-in-chief Stan Lee in the early 1960s, as a means to create a large number of superheroes and supervillains without having to think of a separate origin for each one.

The same is true of Toro, partner of the android Human Torch introduced in 1940. However, Namor was not actually described as a mutant until Fantastic Four Annual #1, decades after his first appearance.

Officially, Namor the Sub-Mariner is considered the first mutant superhero whom Marvel Comics ever published, debuting in 1939. Tad Carter, a mutant with telekinetic powers, is shown in Amazing Adult Fantasy #14, dated July 1962. A little-known story in Tales of Suspense #6 (November 1959) titled 'The Mutants and Me!' was one of the first Marvel (then known as Atlas) stories to feature a named 'mutant'. A character with superhuman powers, born from a radiation-exposed parent, was seen in 'The Man with the Atomic Brain!' in Journey into Mystery #52 in May 1959 although not specifically called a 'mutant', his origin is consistent with one. Roger Carstairs, a mutant who can create illusions, is shown in Man Comics #28, dated September 1953.

Unlike Marvel's mutates, which are characters who develop their powers only after exposure to outside stimuli or energies (such as the Hulk, Spider-Man, the Fantastic Four, Absorbing Man and Captain Marvel), mutants have actual genetic mutations.Ī March 1952 story in Amazing Detective Cases #11 called 'The Weird Woman' tells of a woman describing herself as a mutant who seeks a similarly superhuman mate. The accuracy of this is the subject of much debate in the Marvel Universe. Mutants are the evolutionary progeny of Homo sapiens, and are generally assumed to be the next stage in human evolution. Human mutants are sometimes referred to as a human subspecies Homo sapiens superior, or simply Homo superior. It causes the mutant to develop superhuman powers that manifest at puberty. In American comic books published by Marvel Comics, a mutant is a human being that possesses a genetic trait called the X-gene.
