Mutant (Marvel comics)

In Marvel comic books, particularly those of the X-Men mythos, a mutant is a member of the species Homo sapiens superior, an offshoot of regular humanity, Homo sapiens sapiens. Mutants are born with a genetic trait called the X-gene, which allows them to naturally develop abilities not possessed by regular humans. Mutants are supposedly the next stage in human evolution.
