What's New MPQ - Updated 12/28/21

The only half mutant I remember and possibly I’m ignorant if this is accurate or not , is Legion . He’d make a great 5* and Disney knows him.

MPQ-wise who knows what "Half Mutant" means but I think BlackBoltRocks might be on to something.

In the Marvel Universe just having a mutant and non mutant parent doesn't make a character a "half mutant".  Legion is a mutant because he was born with the X-Gene potential. Whilst the comic books have shown that the X-Gene can be passed along (Cable is probably the best example) they haven't really established whether all children born to mutants will be mutants themselves. So Legion might have developed his X-gene even if Charles had been human.

From Wikipedia:

In American comic books published by Marvel Comics, a mutant is a human being that possesses a genetic trait called the X-gene. It causes the mutant to develop superhuman powers that manifest at puberty. Human mutants are sometimes referred to as a human subspecies Homo sapiens superior, or simply Homo superior. Mutants are the evolutionary progeny of Homo sapiens, and are generally assumed to be the next stage in human evolution. The accuracy of this is the 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, Absorbing Man and Captain Marvel), mutants have actual genetic mutations.

Most mutants active in the Marvel Universe actually had human parents - for example Cyclops and Havok - so you don't need to be a mutant in order to have a child who is one.

Namor is a tricky one because he is a hybrid of two races but Namor's mutant power is actually his ability of flight - a trait which neither his parents possessed - his strength and ability to survive underwater are of course Atlantean. So he is still technically still a mutant.

They also retconned both of the two kids who were an interesting part of the debate as to whether super powers are heriditary as Franklin was revealed as not being a mutant after all (I won't pretend to understand this one myself) and Luna (who was born without powers) does not have Mutant lineage any more because they also retconned Quicksilver too.

Edit: It just occured to me that we do actually have evidence that the X-Gene is not 100% guarantee of a child being a mutant - Graydon Creed is the son of Sabretooth and Mystique and is human.

Half an X is either a > or an <. The greatest and least of all mutants is Omega Red?

Half of "mutant" is "ant".

5* Antman (Hank Pym)?

And spider-man no way home just came out.  5 star Aunt May confirmed.

ThaRoadWarrior

If it’s not Omega Red, I would also accept Longshot, whose better half (dazzler) is a mutant. Are they still together?

I just found out that Morbius will be released on 28 Jan 2022 and our next 5* 13 Jan 2022. We had a 4* Morbius released. I wonder if Hunger is possible as our first 5* to kick off 2022.

DAZ0273

Morbius is Sony-verse and as they ignored Venom it would be strange to get a release for it but who knows?

fractalvisions

Surely the addition of Morbius was intended as a film tie-in but, like Black Widow, the film's release kept being delayed because of the pandemic, so that didn't work out.

This makes sense. Maybe Carbage was supposed to be released with Let there be Carnage but Covid sucks tinykitty. 

Murzik

Abigail Brand?

Carbage came out in 2019.

Oh right. During my last retirement. My bad

I had no idea who she was but now am convinced is correct (and sorry but datamined?)

Never heard of her before but after a quick search she is a half alien and half mutant agent of sword.

I went through the marvel wiki and found several categories of mutant hybrids. I've never heard of most of these. There were also a bunch of "Atlantean Mutants", but it wasn't clear which were half mutant and which were full mutant.

Asgardian/Mutant:
Thor Odinson

Deviant/Mutant:
Jonathan McFee
Lewis Hammond
Mary (Almost Reno)
Selena Cisneros
Zachary (Almost Reno)

Mutant/Alien:
Abigail Brand
Cerise Wagner
Douglas Ramsey
T.J. Wagner

Mutant/Animal:
Predator X

Mutant/Demon:
Kurt Wagner
Tarn (Locus Vile)

Mutant/Fairy:
Megan Gwynn
Meggan Puceanu

Mutant/Inhuman:
Luna Maximoff
Scott Summers (Clone)
Talogan

Mutant/Zenn-Lavian:
Psionics (Cindy)

I'm glad to post before answer was revealed.  That must be some obscure character, like Big Wheel?

According to Google Oracle,  Secret Invasion is a incoming Disney show on 2022 and emilia clarke will be abigail brand.
The release data is unknow, so my guess is that it's too early for her as a 5* now and it's not datamined(possibly).

If it's Brand, she's sort of the mutant answer to Nick Fury in the comics currently. Top intelligence officer for Krakoa, full of her own intrigues and sneaky-style stuffs. Mostly human aside from green hair but I guess her hands can light on fire even though that has NEVER been a plot point.

I'm disposed to dislike her MCU version because she's very tied up with bringing Beast's sexy back and that's kind of a waste unless we actually are bringing the mutants in... maybe put them on High-Evolutionary's alt-earth, though that messes things up just as much.

If true then the Big Wheel character now makes more sense.

MadScientist

What about Pietro and Wanda Maximoff? They are mutants in the comics and enhanced people in the MCU which could make them "half mutant".
