‘Black Panther 2’ Answers a Big Question About Introducing Mutants into the MCU; To understand!

Ever since Disney acquired Fox, Marvel fans have been wondering when and how mutants will be introduced to the created universe in the MCU.

Some have even speculated that Thanos’ (Josh Brolin) snap of his fingers was responsible for the mutation that gave rise to Gene-X, while others speculated that mutants like the “X-Men” would come from other universes due to the Multiverse saga.

However, “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” confirms that mutants have been around in the main MCU universe for centuries and are simply hidden and scattered.

This is because the plot explains that Namor (Tenoch Huerta), the ruler of the undersea kingdom of Talokan, is a mutant born around 1571.

When telling his story to Shuri (Letitia Wright), Namor reveals that his mother and other ancestors ingested an underwater plant in hopes of gaining powers to fight the Spaniards invading their country.

Have fun watching:

Namor’s mother, Fen (Maria Mercedes Coroy), initially resisted the plant, believing it would harm her unborn baby, but was eventually convinced to ingest the herb.

The plant gave superpowers to everyone who consumed it – including Namor, who was born in 1571 with winged feet and pointed ears unlike any Talokan born after him.

Namor explains that this made him the “first mutant”, which has remained true over the centuries since his birth.

If he’s been hiding all this time, there’s no doubt other mutants are out there too, waiting for the right moment to show up.

It should be remembered that “Black Panther 2” is still playing in theaters.
