Mutants (Beneath the Planet of the Apes)

==Summary==
The mutants were descended from a long line of mutated humans, whose origins dated back to the 1990s when the human controlled governments of Earth waged war with one another – a war which devastated significant parts of the population, and caused drastic geological upheaval.
Survivors of the nuclear holocaust were forced to seek shelter in the ruins of cities contaminated with atomic radiation. The exposure to this radiation caused severe genetic defects – defects which were passed down through the generations, forcing select groups of mankind to evolve into a new subspecies of mutant. Two-thousand years later, many of these mutant descendants began to develop advanced telepathic abilities.
The community of telepathic mutant humans encountered by Taylor and Brent in Beneath the Planet of the Apes lived in the ruins of New York City and worshiped the ultimate nuclear weapon - the instrument of the planet's final destruction and what they declared to be a "Divine Bomb".
