Mutants are handled in a similar manner to how they would in the real world , as a persecuted minority ...then Marvel had to spin it out of control with the damn stupid Omega levels and 'Countries full of mutants' until the mutants aren't the minority but the humans are ...
Metahumans get off of this scott free because...well it's Dc. Put on a cape and your suddenly worshipped like a god.
What it doesn't make sense at all is the mutant fear in Marvel Universe.
When it's known that a hero powers are mutant in origin, people are scared or usually their confidence fluctuates.
Except for a DNA test, no one can identify a mutant.
Warbird could be a mutant, just cause her origins are known to the majority, she can't be mistaken for one.
Any mutant with superpowers who keep a human appearence can say he just obtain them through experiments or an accident.
Problem is though with all the Sentinels and Mutant haters running around it's pretty hard to keep your identity a secret especially when they can test you on the spot with a simple scan. The Inner Circle did what you suggested and Emma Frosts geneology was still revealed to the world because of Cassandra Nova.
I like the mutant thing better, because I think we would react the same way as the humans do in marvel be afraid to be run over by a new breed of humans.
It's very logical you would hate, or be jalous, or be afraid of someone with super powers.
i think mutants are handled better. cuz its the unpredictability of the x gene that grants ppl different abilites and thats that. in DCu its hard to find metahumans who didnt get thier powers by being in the wrong lab accident at the wrong time. or in the vicinity of the wrong vat of radioactive chemicals at the wrong time.
yeah so a handful of near, and actual omega lvl mutants vs just about every guy in supes rogues gallery sure marvel has thier fair share of super powerful beings but DC has more and then some
I can buy the mutant hate, simply cuz in Marvel, mutants are what will eventually replace humanity. I'd be a lil pissed if i knew my time was limited too.
Spiderman and the other non born mutants, i can also see why they get off scot free at times.
If one of my friends was born with the ability to blink me outta existence, and i was told that eventually, beings like him would be the dominant majority, resentment would take root more than likely.
One, cuz i'm less powerful than him. Two, cuz he will inherit the earth, so to speak.
IF my other friend was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time, and got uber powers, he wouldn't be seen the same as the mutant friend, cuz his existence doesn't foretell the end of humanity.
He just got lucky, or had bad luck, depending on your views.
Mutants are the future. Mutates are the crapshoots.
And in DC, i do find it funny that heroes get worshipped the way they do.
There's mutants in Marvel, but then there's a shitload of people like Spiderman, Hulk, Ms Marvel, who have mutant like powers and don't get treated the same way. It's stupid. They all could be mutants.
