in american comic books published by marvel comics , a mutant is a being ( usually otherwise human ) 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 or simply homo superior , an evolutionary progeny of homo sapiens , and are considered the next stage in human evolution , although whether this is true or not is a subject of much debate in the marvel universe .

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 , and absorbing man ) , mutants are those whose mutations are pre-natal , and whose powers typically manifest at puberty .

it began as a hail mary maneuver . ultimate marvel was a publishing experiment launched by marvel comics — the superhero - comics company that had invented the avengers , spider - man , the x - men , and countless other icons — during its darkest hour . the idea was simple : launch various comics series where all the famous marvel characters are young again and just starting their superhero careers in the modern day . give the series flashy titles like ultimate spider - man and ultimate x - men and make sure no reader will have to go back and read decades’ worth of comics to understand what’s going on . return to core principles . make these icons fresh again .

nope . there have been a number of non - human mutants important to x - men and the marvel universe .
for a number of years , the “x - men” were so popular that most of marvel’s highest - selling titles were either “x - men” or related to “x - men” in some way ( “x - factor , ” “wolverine , ” “new mutants” / ”x - force , ” etc . ) . it got to the point when characters began to associate with “x - men” even if they had no connection at all . “spider - man” promoted itself as marvel’s most popular non - mutant . a new “namor” ongoing series launched by touting him as marvel’s first mutant . being a mutant was the thing to be for many years .
dc was the equivalent of the big hollywood studios : after the brilliance of dc’s reinvention of the superhero … in the late 1950s and early 1960s , it had run into a creative drought by the decade’s end . there was a new audience for comics now , and it wasn’t just the little kids that traditionally had read the books . the marvel of the 1960s was in its own way the counterpart of the french new wave… . marvel was pioneering new methods of comics storytelling and characterization , addressing more serious themes , and in the process keeping and attracting readers in their teens and beyond . moreover , among this new generation of readers were people who wanted to write or draw comics themselves , within the new style that marvel had pioneered , and push the creative envelope still further .

why are these comics brought into the film only for logan to dismiss them ? in part they serve as a convenient means for laura’s surrogate mother to learn about eden ( which does in fact exist , raising the question of who the writers of these comics are and where they’re getting their information ) , but they’re also symbolically important as another reference to mythology . superhero comics have often been called “modern mythology” or “american mythology , ” as they are where we in the contemporary world get most of our ideas about heroism . it’s not hard to see how superhero comics have inherited the role that mythology played in earlier civilizations , particularly with comics frequent adaptation of mythological figures like thor , hercules , and so on .
and what’s more , among the guest creators , the solicitation lists “a legendary comic strip artist making his marvel debut . ”
thus , the third and final evocation of mythology is in the repeated appearance of x - men comics within the movie itself . we’re shown that someone has been publishing comics based loosely on the real - life adventures of the x - men . according to logan , only about a quarter of it really happened , and what did happen didn’t happen like that . this leads logan to doubt even the existence of eden , dismissing it as wishful thinking from a desperate reader . the existence of comics featuring “real life” superheroes is straight out of the marvel comics , where official , semi - official , and unofficial publications depicting the heroics of the fantastic four , avengers , x - men , and others are occasionally referenced .

sure , occasionally marvel’s non - mutant heroes have to pacify public apprehension , but that’s the exception , not the rule . civil war ‘s superhuman registration act ( which has been quickly forgotten ) is little more than a blip in avengers’ history , whereas mutants have been fighting the mutant registration act for decades . ( for more oppressive anti - mutant legislation see prop x which sought to rob mutants of their reproductive rights . )
this article suggests that scholarship on comics and identity is vulnerable to strong confirmation bias . engaging with a few common assumptions presented in writing on x - men comics ( 1963–1970 , 1975–1991 ) and identity , it offers alternative interpretations on the series’ engagement with the cold war , civil rights , individual authenticity , persecution , and the holocaust . based on these discussions , the article then offers a few methodological suggestions that might help reduce bias in future studies of comics and identity .
of course , within the marvel universe there is an option beyond registering mutants . eradicating them . at its most extreme , that idea means death camps . just below that in terms of atrocities is the idea of a mutant cure .

millar’s initial stories for ultimate x - men may have sold like gangbusters in 2001 , but they weren’t especially groundbreaking ( other than the awful goatees that artist adam kubert gave to wolverine and cyclops ) . his greatest achievement was brewing in the background . jemas and quesada had asked him to team up with superstar artist bryan hitch for the launch of ultimate marvel’s take on marvel comics’ premier superteam , the avengers . hitch had drawn for the authority ( though his run didn’t overlap with millar’s ) , where he earned a reputation for drawing comics that looked like movies : full of photorealistic figures and enormous action sequences . the ultimate - universe avengers series would be called the ultimates , and marvel wanted it to be the imprint’s biggest series yet .

creatively and commercially , the ’90s were dominated by the use of gimmickry to boost sales , such as variant covers , cover enhancements , regular company - wide crossovers that threw the universe’s continuity into disarray , and even special swimsuit issues . in 1996 , marvel had almost all its titles participate in the onslaught saga , a crossover that allowed marvel to relaunch some of its flagship characters , such as the avengers and the fantastic four , in the heroes reborn universe , in which marvel defectors jim lee and rob liefeld were given permission to revamp the properties from scratch . after an initial sales bump , sales quickly declined below expected levels , and marvel discontinued the experiment after a one - year run ; the characters returned to the marvel universe proper . in 1998 , the company launched the imprint marvel knights , taking place within marvel continuity ; helmed by soon - to - become editor - in - chief joe quesada , and featuring tough , gritty stories showcasing such characters as the inhumans , black panther and daredevil , it achieved substantial success .

definition of a species is any isolated group that can reproduce and create stable and viable offspring . in terms of the comics i think they consider them a different species than humans but that only shows the writers have a lack of understanding of biology . mutants have had offspring with non mutants in the comics and humans are able to produce mutant offspring therefore while the mutants have a specific gene giving them powers it ' s not enough to consider them a new species .
marvel studios and warner bros . are currently the big two producers of superhero television . if you’re watching network television , you’ll likely come across dc comics series like supergirl and the new powerless . if you prefer to stream everything you watch , you’ve almost certainly seen marvel series like daredevil and luke cage . these are good and sometimes great efforts , and more series are already on the way in their respective camps . however , something has been missing : the x - men .
this was all well and good back in the 1970s when writers were able to tackle racism , homophobia , religious persecution , etc . in coded terms , flying under the radar of the comics code authority . but it’s not the 1970s anymore and marvel can ( and should ) just go ahead and tackle those issues directly . if the creative staff at marvel isn’t sure they can handle these topics using real people and cultures properly , go ahead and find some people who can .
despite being the first mutant , she has had minimal impact on the overall marvel mythos – her major feuds involving the likes of rachel summers and firestar – aside from headlining the necrosha x - event . she is currently a member of the sisterhood of mutants and looks resigned to the fact that she will only be famous for being the undisputed first mutant , and little else .
rather than being represented as a force for good , as had previously been the norm in superhero comics , institutional authority was increasingly depicted as cracking down on the denizens of the marvel universe ( cf . costello 133–138 ) . senator kelly was already well - established , “days” presented the pentagon as “more truly representative—for good or ill—of the
here’s some context to understand the red - alert disaster the comics industry had become by the eve of the ultimate experiment . in 1993 , annual combined comics sales across all publishers had been close to a billion dollars ; in 1999 , that same number was a microscopic $ 270 million . in 1989 , batman was the most - talked - about movie in america ; by 1999 , the disastrous batman & robin had squirted a stink on the very idea of a cinematic comic - book adaptation . marvel especially was feeling the burn : it went through a humiliating chapter 11 bankruptcy in the late ' 90s , saw wave after wave of layoffs , and executive leadership was shuffled every few weeks . in 1999 , after years of comics - publishing dominance , the company lost its top spot in industry market share and watched its rival , dc comics , take the throne .
ink . joined in young x - men , his mutant tattoo artist imbued him with super - powers through symbolic tattoos . he didn ' t find out he wasn ' t a mutant until a few issues into the series .
namor , born in 1920 , [ 47 ] is considered the
first of the first mutant boom
( he is also considered sometimes as the very first mutant erroneously ) . [ 99 ] [ 107 ] [ 108 ]
arguably what is at issue here is that marvel’s mutant toys do not represent actual human beings , even though they ( like the kingpin toy ) represent fictional human beings . no actual human has been or ( probably ) could be like kingpin or marvel’s mutants ( who are perhaps more properly called saltations urltoken ) even if when we tell the story of kingpin or longshot or wolverine we speak of those characters as humans .
namor is now a zombie attacking black bolt . he was later killed by the silver surfer in the initial attack of the marvel zombies against the herald .
the mutant response division ( or mrd ) was originally conceived in the wolverine and the x - men television series .
mister sinister returned in extraordinary x - men # 4 to deliver a shocking twist in the mutant / inhuman conflict .

to marvel’s credit , the ultimate universe is getting a viking funeral . there has been a years - long story line in the mainstream marvel universe , written by hickman , which has climaxed in a massive crossover event called secret wars . the catalyst , seen in this month’s secret wars no . 1 , is an interdimensional apocalypse in which the ultimate universe and the mainstream marvel universe literally collide , destroying each other . at the end of the issue , a sparse page features text reading “ the marvel universe • 1961 - 2015” and “the ultimate universe • 2000 - 2015 . ” this is , however , a bit of a misdirect : marvel has already announced plans for its post– secret wars status quo , which appears mostly to be a reconstruction of mainstream marvel ( it remains to be seen how much of this new status quo will be a reboot of its own ) . the only real death here is an ultimate death .
when wanda maximoff declared “no more mutants” it sent a shockwave through marvel comics , with the x - men being the most affected . rogue resented scarlet witch , even though she was a former ally in the past . when steve rogers and havok created the unity squad , rogue is the most hesitant , having a strong distrust of wanda .
when you expand it out to the grander narrative of marvel comics of the past fifteen years , it gets really silly . as everybody knows , mutantkind was decimated in 2005 when wanda maximoff used her poorly defined mutant powers to take away all mutant powers except for a few of the most marketable ones . for the next eight or so years , the mega - arc of all of the x - books was about people desperately trying to “preserve / re - ignite the mutant race” , culminating in 2012’s avengers vs . x - men , where the x - men’s militant leader cyclops thought that rolling the dice on “the destruction of the planet earth” versus “a cosmic being might bypass planetary annihilation and instead reignite the mutant gene” is a gamble worth taking , and the avengers thought it might not be ? chaos ensued .

) argues his anti - mutantcy from a workingman’s perspective ( np ) . mutant otherness , expressed in a variety of ways that recall real - life corollaries , had become an unmistakable part of the marvel universe’s fabric . indeed , in # 234 ( late sept . 1988 ,
in 1981 marvel purchased the depatie - freleng enterprises animation studio from famed looney tunes director friz freleng and his business partner david h . depatie . the company was renamed marvel productions and it produced well - known animated tv series and movies featuring such characters as g . i . joe , the transformers , jim henson’s muppet babies , and such tv series as dungeons & dragons , as well as cartoons based on marvel characters , including spider - man and his amazing friends .
i admit , this is a better fit , especially in terms of localized social groups and especially in terms of sinister being oscar wilde . you get the whole “coming out” process , self - loathing closeted politicians , people trying to ‘pass’ , praying the mutant away , taking medication to suppress their mutant powers , girls pretending to be mutants at frat parties to impress humans… at least some of these things have happened in comics !
there’s also longshot . who isn’t really human , mutant , or even alien . he’s a manufactured humanoid who resembles a human except for having 3 fingers . oh , and he has luck powers , but he’s not a mutant despite appearances .
namor appears in the 2006 marvel ultimate alliance game as an npc . he also appears in the game boy advance version of the title as a playable character .
ideally , a critical perspective that pays attention to history , context , and biography , and takes authorial self - representation and stated intentions seriously should be developed as scholarship on comics and identity proceeds . in an ideal world , the meaning of neither comics characters nor cultural identities should be asserted without consideration of their contingency . similarly , no critical study should reduce a writer’s or artist’s biography to only their group belongings . and no critical study should assume , for example , that simply because jews wrote comics , they surreptitiously wrote their jewishness into them or that , because there are jews in some stories , it is ethnography . nothing should take precedence over direct engagement and quotation of the comics themselves . from the shoddiest piece of golden age hackwork to the most ostensibly literary graphic novel , every work of comics speaks volumes about the identity climate in which it was created ; as scholars , we should try to set aside our preconceived notions and listen .
so in the movie , the reason for the mutant extinction has changed ( spoiler warning : genetically modified corn ) , and the identity of the new mutant who must be protected has changed , but the essence of the story is the same : drive across america , protect this little girl at all costs , because she is the last hope for the mutant species .
but there were cracks in the foundation , and they were widening . jemas was ousted in 2004 after a string of high - publicity publishing flops — some related to ultimate marvel , some tied to mainstream marvel . the second volume of the ultimates began in 2005 and was perpetually delayed due to hitch’s agonizingly slow artistic process , infuriating fans and retailers . aging sci - fi writer orson scott card wrote a reviled ultimate iron man miniseries . on top of all that , marvel was simply running out of characters to ultimize . to keep this massive reboot effort relevant , quesada needed something big to get readers excited again , so he and longtime superhero writer jeph loeb concocted a major story to shake up the ultimate line . what they created was one of the biggest creative disasters in comics history , one from which ultimate marvel never quite recovered .
the final comic to bear the atlas globe logo was dippy duck # 1 , the company’s only release with an october 1957 cover date . the first comic book labeled “marvel comics” was the science - fiction anthology amazing adventures # 3 , which showed the “mc” box on its cover . cover - dated august 1961 , it was published may 9 , 1961 .
enter bill jemas . he was a relative outsider to the comics world ( he’d gotten his law degree from harvard before spending most of his career in the collectible - trading - card industry ) who was put in charge of marvel’s editorial direction in 2000 . he hated what marvel had become : a place that was “publishing stories that were all but impossible for teens to read — and unaffordable , to boot , ” as he put it to me . but jemas had an idea , born of a suggestion he says the ceo of wizard , a comics - industry magazine , gave to him : “turn our middle - aging heroes back into teens . ” in other words , he wanted to launch a reboot .

david haller is a mutant — as in x - men , mutant . while he appears alongside ( and against ) many of the x - men in marvel comics , the fx show will take place in an unconnected universe to the established films . “the us government is in the early days of being aware that something called mutants exists but the public is not , ” said fx president john landgraf during a press tour last year . in other words , don ' t expect to see the x - men running around . legion aims to be more of a stand - alone supernatural character drama than a superhero show .


argyrotaenia velutinana , the red-banded leafroller moth , is a species of moth of the tortricidae family .

it is found in the eastern united states and south-eastern canada , from quebec and ontario to florida , west to texas and at least iowa .

it has also been reported from british columbia .

the wingspan is 13 – 20 mm .

the forewings have a wide diagonal median band that is reddish in females and blackish in males .

the basal area is light yellowish-brown with darker shading near the inner margin .

the hindwings are dirty white to light grey with a pale fringe .

adults are on wing from february to october in two to four generations per year .

the larvae feed on various plants , including the leaves and fruit of apple and other fruit trees , as well as spruce and various vegetables .

they are green with a pale dorsal stripe and a yellowish head and reach a length of about 16 mm .

the species overwinters in the pupal stage in folded leaves on the ground .

argyrotaenia velutinana was once considered one of the most important tortricid pests on apple in the eastern united states . its status as a major pest peaked after the widespread use of ddt in the late 1940 ' s presumably destroyed many of its natural enemies . it is currently controlled under most ipm programs and is only considered a minor pest .
argyrotaenia velutinana completes 2 - 3 full generations over much of its range . because this species undergoes facultative diapause , the number of generations can vary depending on latitude . in the north , only two generations are completed , with a partial third possible . in the south , a possible fourth generation is present . overwintering occurs in the pupal stage .
adults can appears similar to other species of argyrotaenia . in the nearctic , this includes species such as a . floridana , a . kimballi , a . niscana , a . pinatubana , and a . tabulana . in the palearctic , argyrotaenia ljungiana may appear similar . a genitalic dissection can be used to confirm identity . male a . velutinana have a distal , pointed projection from the median sclerotized portion of the valva that is absent in a . ljungiana .
larvae of argyrotaenia velutinana are highly polyphagous and have been described by freeman ( 1958 ) as feeding
on almost any plant .
this includes several conifers , as reported by prentice ( 1966 ) . chapman and lienk ( 1971 ) speculate that primary hosts may be limited to members of the rosaceae , as apple appears to be a preferred host in many regions . the following partial host list includes both primary and secondary hosts :

adult - forewing has wide diagonal median band that is reddish in female , blackish in male ; basal area light yellowish - brown with darker shading near inner margin ; pale whitish shading in am area at inner margin forms diamond - shaped patch when wings are held together at rest ; whitish shading beyond median band except for dark triangular patch along costa in pm area ; hindwing dirty white to light gray with pale fringe .
larva - body green with pale dorsal stripe ; head yellowish . see photo at tortai .
polyphagous on the foliage and fruit of deciduous trees and shrubs , herbaceous plants , and rarely conifers . it can be a major pest of apple orchards .
early instar larva creates small silk shelter where it skeletonizes the underside of leaf along the mid - vein . later instars silk together two leaves , or a leaf to a fruit . overwinters as pupa in folded leaf on the ground .

forewing ground color ranges from pale brown to golden brown . the most conspicuous wing marking is the reddish - brown median fascia , which is the basis for the species ' common name . other markings can be quite variable , although generally there is a dark mark or partial fascia at the base of the wing , a reddish - brown outer costal spot , and a row of near - white scales along the termen that may extend to the median fascia in some individuals . hindwings are grayish brown . males lack a forewing costal fold .
late instar larvae are 13 - 18 mm in length with a green to yellowish green abdomen . the head , prothoracic shield , and thoracic legs are yellowish green and unmarked .
in new york , adults of the overwintering ( second ) generation are present in april and may . those of the first generation are present in late june to july . in southern indiana and virginia , adults of the overwintering ( fourth ) generation are present in march and april . those of the first generation are present in late may to june , those of the second generation are present in july , and those of the third generation present in august and september .
in the spring , females lay eggs in masses on smooth bark of the trunk and lower limbs of host trees . during the summer , females lay egg masses on the upper surface of leaves . each egg mass contains approximately 40 - 45 individual eggs . egg development time ranges from 7 - 12 days in the south to 14 - 21 days in the north . first instar larvae crawl up limbs in search of food or disperse on silk threads to other parts of the host or to other plants . early instars skeletonize the upper surface of a leaf along the midrib , concealed by a patch of silk . they remain under the silk patch until the penultimate instar , at which point they move to feed on other leaves or fruit . late instar larvae of the summer generations will often construct a shelter by webbing a leaf to fruit , and feeding underneath directly on the fruit . larval feeding damage causes fruit rot and early drop in hosts such as apple . larvae will continue to feed on fallen fruit and may be dispersed in this manner if fallen fruit is moved to a different location . larvae complete development in approximately 30 days and move to the ground to pupate in a folded leaf under other leaves and debris . adults of the first two generations eclose in 7 - 13 days ; those of the last generation eclose the following spring .
