Why didnt Mimic..........

I dont understand this. Mimic supposedly only needs a few minutes of contact with a person to mimic their abilities. So why didnt he trade Cyclops stupid eye lasers to all of King Hyperion's powers? i mean, yea, i know he only gets half the potency but Colossus lifts 100 tons so that would put him already at 50 tons and if he got Hyperion's strength he, even at half the potency, could probly become a Class 200 or 300 and then u add that to Beast's agility and Wolverine's claws and Northstar's speed and then the Exiles probly wouldve only needed Beak to get one Hyperion from a separate reality to help cuz Mimic himself would probly be equal to the normal-Hyperions in terms of power. SO i dont understand, why didnt he mimic King Hyperion?

Uhh, I guess the writer just didn't think of it? That would have been cool though to see Mimic after stealing Hype's powers, even if it wasn't permanent.

I don't think mimic can duplicate non mutants.

Hyperion isn't mutant. He can only copy mutants. That's why he's NEVER copied a non-mutant.

Oh yeah. I always forget about that "only mutants" thing.

he can copy people who arent mutants he just never tried until the recent "Destroy all Monsters" story arc. He proved he could in that story.

Who did he copy that wasn't a mutant?

Curt Conners (the Lizard) for his healing factor that he got as a result of an experiment gone wrong.

Than there's your answer. He just found out. Although maybe his DNA was warped just enough for Mimic's powers to define as a mutant.

😖hifty: What do you guys think a mutant is?

a mutant is someone who was BORN WITH POWERS.

🙂 is that right? 🙂

But Marvel has a distinction for those with the "mutant" gene as mutants, and those without, non-mutants. . .

I see - hmmmmmmmmm

so you can undergo mutation and not be a mutant 😆 So what do you think a mutant gene is then Cresh 😖hifty:

Marvel uses "Mutant" and "Non-Mutant" differently than I would.

The X-Gene is present in EVERYONE in the Marvel Universe. What make someone a "mutant" in the MU is if that gene is activated prenatally.
