MUTANT
A mutant is a humanoid who possesses a genetic trait called an X-gene that allows the mutant to naturally develop superhuman powers and abilities. Human mutants are considered to be of the subspecies Homo sapiens superior, an evolutionary progeny of Homo sapiens, and are considered the next stage in human evolution, though whether this is true or not is a subject of scientific debate.Mutants are born with the genetic potential to possess their powers, although the powers typically manifest at puberty. On the site, Human Mutants will be labeled simply as Mutants. Non-human mutants will be labeled as {X} Mutant, where X represents the usual name for their species.
Mutants are typed and ranked according to their power potential, the control they have over their powers, drawbacks of their powers, and the pervasiveness of exotic physiological mutations.
Omega Level- This category represents the most powerful of all mutants alive on Earth. These characters tend to have no significant problems caused by their mutation, nor do they have pervasive deformities or physiological anomalies of any kind. They tend to be capable of producing huge energy outputs, or possess psionic abilities that afford them a great deal of power. The Omega mutant has absolute control over his/her power, to the extent he/she is essentially one with the mutant abilities they possess. Examples include: Jean Grey, Charles Xavier, Emma Frost, Erik Lensherr, Bobby Drake, and Ororo Monroe. OMEGA MUTANTS CAN ONLY BE CREATED AT STAFF DISCRETION.
Alpha Level- The Alpha Mutants are the second most powerful and feared mutants. Alpha mutants have extremely powerful mutant traits without any significant flaws. Less than 10% of mutants are Alpha mutants so they are very rare. Some of the Alpha mutants include Remy LaBeau, Elizabeth Braddock , Alex Summers, Sean Cassidy, Kitty Pryde, and Piotr Rasputin. Classify Mutants as Alpha level if they have a normal human appearance and their mutation is powerful, useful and controllable (i.e. turn it on and off, direct it at will.)
Beta Level- As far as how potent their powers are Beta Mutants are on the same level as Alpha-level mutants. But the difference between Beta Mutants and Alpha Mutants is that the Beta Mutants have flaws, albeit very small flaws. The Beta mutants are also believed to be about 10% of the mutant population. Some examples of Beta mutants are Scott Summers and James "Logan" Howlett. Classify mutants as Beta Level if they have a normal human appearance (or close to it) and their mutation is powerful, useful, but less controllable, like Scott Summers, who can't willingly turn off his optic blasts, but can still lead a normal life with only minor preparation (wearing special glasses). Logan, who has healing powers, can't ever decide NOT to rapidly heal from an injury, but this does not impair him in any reasonable way.
Delta Level- Delta Mutants are like Alpha mutants in that they don't have any significant flaws. The only problem is that Delta mutants don't have powers that match an Alpha mutant, or even a Beta or Gamma mutant. At least 50% of mutants are Delta mutants making them the most common type of mutant. Classify mutants as Delta-Level if thy have a normal human appearance, but their mutagenic powers are weaker or only narrowly applicable, though still controllable. Callisto is an example of a Delta Mutant.
Gamma Level- Gamma mutants have very powerful mutations, but they have noticeable flaws. Unlike the Beta mutants a Gamma mutant's flaw is a major flaw that makes his or her life very hard. The best example is probably Anna Marie. Rogue can absorb anybody's power, which makes her very powerful, but she can't touch people without triggering her power, which makes any kind of romantic life difficult. Also, while Alpha and Beta mutants can pass as regular looking humans, many Gamma mutants cannot because they have physical deformities like Fred Dukes or Dr. Henry McCoy. Classify mutants as Gamma Level if their mutation is powerful, uncontrollable, sometimes useful but usually detrimental to living a normal life, such as a monstrously inhuman appearance that can't be switched off at will.
Epsilon Level- Epsilon Mutants are unfortunate mutants. Epsilon mutants pretty much have no chance of having a regular life in society due to their major flaws. If that isn't bad enough Epsilon mutants also only have minor superhuman powers. About 20% of mutants are Epsilon Mutants. A good example of an Epsilon mutant is Beak.
MUTATE
Mutate is a term used to refer to super-humans who acquired their superpowers by exposure to some mutagenic compound or energy (either accidentally or deliberately). Unlike Marvel's Mutants, Marvel's Mutates require external stimuli to acquire their powers (e.g. they weren't born with the potential to manifest powers). Those who become mutates differ from the average person in that they have bodies genetically prepared to survive levels of radiation that would destroy most humans. Mutagenic influences include: Gamma radiation, cosmic radiation, Vibranium, Terrigen mist, Pym particles, chemical agents, and genetic engineering. A common way to create mutates is to graft X-genes from mutants onto a normal human, in order to give them a superpower or several superpowers. These mutates are essentially made to order by the scientist creating them. Most super powered characters are mutates. Examples- Peter Parker, Matthew Murdoch, Reed Richards, Bruce Banner, Henry Pym, Steven Rogers, Norman Osborn, Wade Wilson, Emil Blonsky, and Henry McCoy (Some mutants are also mutates, because of secondary mutations brought on by mutagenic influences).
