    I heard Big Wheel is our annual joke character like 5* Deadpool is. I don't remember this being an annual affair during Q4 of year 2017 to 2019.

    What about Pietro and Wanda Maximoff? They are mutants in the comics and enhanced people in the MCU which could make them "half mutant".
    Sadly they are no longer mutants in the comics, that got retconned. It also means Luna is no longer part mutant either.

    I guess Spider-Ham was maybe meant as a joke? Big Wheel is next level though.

    Thor is half mutant?!?

    Also someone guessed Vulcan on Reddit and that seemed plausible

    I don't think Thor is half mutant in the Marvel Universe sense of the word because mutants are human beings and Thor is an alien.

    Directly from the Marvel wiki:

    Asgardian/Mutant Hybrid Physiology: While Thor was for a long time purported to be biologically half-Asgardian on his father's side and half-Elder God on his mother's side; he is in truth half-Asgardian and half mutant, with his birth mother also being an avatar of the cosmic entity known as the Phoenix Force. As such Thor possesses a number of superhuman attributes common among the Asgardian and other gods. However, due to his unique birth, some are considerably more developed than those of the vast majority of his race, including his strength, endurance and resistance to injury.

    Thank you. That is ludicrous but also it's a comic book, what are you going to do...

    Is there anyone else other than Cable who has had a significant portion of their body replaced by mechanical parts? They would be half mutant, half cyborg.

    Nebula.  

    Nebula is a mutant? I guess if Thor is then anything is possible. What about Wolverine? I suppose replaced isn't quite accurate but "enhanced"?

    For actual mutants: Warlock, Omega Red, Fantomex, and Lady Deathstrike. Klaw is mutant but falls under the "make more sense to release near Black Panther".
    Part mutant: I could see Stryfe and Madelyne Pryor qualify due to being clones of mutants, making them true-mutant adjacent.
    Non-mutants: I agree Antman would qualify but you'd like to think they'd keep him until Antman 3 was closer. Same with Bill Foster (both Goliath and Antman versions)

    But what if "mutant" is to literal and is instead "mutated"? This alone gives us 3 versions of Spider-Man to play with: Man-Spider (which would've been a better "joke" character than Big Wheel), Ben Reilly, and Kane. Absorbing man falls under "mutates" too.

    Deathstrike is a mutant? I guess she was in the X-Men movie but was she retconned in the comics also then? Likewise Klaw? I am starting to doubt I understand what a mutant is to be honest.

    @DAZ0273 Thor being half mutant is a recent development done by Jason Aaron. While he did some really cool stuff with Thor in his early run, I think he has gone a little too overboard and his current run on the Avengers titles has left much to be desired. 

    As far as I am aware, the whole Thor being a half mutant has yet to be acknowledged by any of the X titles.
