MCU and Mutants

is Captain America made out with his own niece

I didn't know that. Ok, not that I care about the MCU, but...huh. Didn't see that coming.

Sharon Carter's not his niece tho. She's Peggy Carter's, his love interest from the first movie. Still awkward tho.

Eh, might work. Of all the characters in the MCU which of them was actually born with their powers?

Other than Thor, Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch are the only ones I can think of. Captain Marvel probably counts, since her new canon is that she's always been half-Kree but didn't get access to her powers until her time as a Kree Warrior awoke them (or something like that?).

Snip

Dude! Spoilers! The movie came out yesterday for Christ's sake!

The guy has been dropping spoilers in other post, dont nnow if he is doing it on purpose like an ass, or is clearly clueless cause he thinks everyone saw the movie in 2 days

Fair cop. Should have put my post in this thread under spoilers.

What did I do in the other post? I put the spoilers in the spoiler section. Is that not allowed now? Or what is saying that the story might be predictable if you know Mysterio?

In the MCU Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch aren't mutants. They got their powers from Hydra experiments with an Infinity Stone. Iirc, Captain Marvel was also a regular human until an Infinity Stone-powered engine exploded in her face.

Near as I can tell, the only innately superhuman characters are the ones that plain weren't human to begin with, so Thor and the other Asgardians, Drax, Groot, Mantis and Loki. Not sure about Gamora, Nebula and Rocket, cuz they got turned into cyborgs. Probably also all the alien villains who aren't mooks or comedic relief i.e. Jeff Goldblum, so that's Ego, Ronan (pre Power Stone), Malekith, Thanos and Hela.

Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch got theirs from experimentation through Hydra. Captain Marvel got hers when a Tesseract-fuelled engine exploded in her face, with a later Kree blood transfusion giving her a little more (possibly). All three started as human. its really only in Agents of SHIELD that you get people born with powers, but they were supposedly rare even then and the movies have sort of been ignoring the continuity of the TV shows anyway

Well, in AoS, they are born with powers that needs to activated by a mist. So semi-Mutants

Hmmm, fair enough. Thanks for the correction. Were those changes made because Marvel didn't have the movie rights to mutants at the time?

Yes, that was the reason.

I was thinking more along the lines of that pyrokinetic from the first series and others like him who were apparently on a list of noteworthy individuals, rather than the Inhumans of the later seasons
