Spider-man isn't a mutant. Mutants are born with their powers for the most part. There are some exceptions (like Deadpool), but Spider-man isn't one.
I agree with you - Spider-Man was 'given' his powers, just like Hulk or Captain America. Wasn't the whole deal with the Avengers, at first anyway, that they were super-heroes who specifically were NOT mutants? And Spider-Man has been hanging around the fringes of all of those groups forever.. Fantastic Four as well, also not mutants..
Correct. X-Men = the best of the best mutant team. Avengers = the best of the best (that aren't mutants). Fantastic Four = boring as ****. But even that's not always the case because Wolverine, Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver, and I'm sure a lot of others that I'm not thinking of have been Avengers.
Deadpool had a suppressed mutant ability. Ajax didn't give him anything that mutated him, he just put him in a situation that brought out his own natural mutant power. Peter Parker was bitten by a radioactive spider and that's what gave him his abilities. Internal vs. External. Subtle difference.
Wolverine has the same thing, and is physically super-human with super-human sense of smell & hearing (As does Sabretooth). The mental-based characters have multiple mental powers, Emma Frost can even turn herself into a diamond form. Mystique is a shape-shifter with high end agility.
It's all pretty techincal so I might not be 100% correct but.... Mutants have mutant gene (x-gene) to truly be a "mutant". Deadpool is not a mutant. His healing ability is because of the Weapon X program. Wolverine is a mutant because of the x-gene which gave him claws, healing ability, tracker, before the program gave him adamantium skeleton. It can be confusing (and sometimes stupid at times) because when they do share a universe like the comics, MUTANTS are hated, but anyone with abilities or super armor (Spider-Man, Captain America, Hulk, Iron Man) are not as hated...like the Avengers. Uncanny Avengers featured the Avengers Unity Squad (mutants + super heroes) House of M is when Scarlett Witch infamously spoke, "No more mutants...". This of course only applied to those with the X-gene. To make matters worse, Scarlett Witch was retconned into not being a mutant. Add to that, Black Bolt set off a terrigen mist bomb which kills mutants or makes them sterile. Again, only those with the X-gene. Sorry kind of went off on a tangent...lol
Didn't Ajax pump that blue substance into him to unlock the dormant gene? Then to activate it he had to be subjected to all the experiments.
That part you're actually correct on. He's considered a "mutate". Although apparently he has a daughter who is born with the x-gene and is a mutant. http://x-men.wikia.com/wiki/Mutant
I think the implication is that ALL humans have at least some 'mutant' in their genes, and the serum finds that and brings it to the fore. Otherwise, such bits of DNA would remain recessive and the person would remain a normal human throughout his/her life. This would explain why some people are 'born mutants', when both non-mutant parents create offspring which happen to combine the recessive mutant recessive genes of the parents into active genes in the offspring. The serum apparently does the same thing that Magneto was trying to do in the first X-Men movie - turn literally everyone into a mutant by bringing out the recessive mutant genes already in place in every 'normal' human. My $0.02 anyway..
Holy **** that was amazing. One of the funniest movies I've ever seen in theater. Ryan Reynolds killed it.
Great movie... Loved the 80's music. One issue is that they should have made his disfiguration worse. My uncle had his face burnt worse than DP because of an electrical house fire and surprising most people are understanding... even strangers. There's very few of the disgusted look like in the movie. Now... if half his face was gone with bone and teeth showing....
Here's a funny review/rant of Deadpool from Comic Book Girl 19. I agree with all her points. It's refreshing that something got made without the kid audience in mind. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/3iOc-iwRUzc" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
I don't know if I got used to it but it seemed his face started off grotesque but slowly got less grotesque and actually the skin started looking smoother. Not sure if they got lazy with the make-up/cgi or I just got used to the face.
I didn't read the long posts above me, so this might have already been addressed... but if breh has regeneration powers, how come his face doesn't regenerate to the pretty face he had before? Or maybe he needs to blow his face off and it'll grow back like his disgusting little hand?
The cancer that makes his body look hideous is growing at the same exact rate that he is capable of healing so it remains that way.
