Summary
MCUPhase 5 has cement the front of variation with the ilk ofThe Marvelseven going so far as to feature one ofFox ’s 10 - Men characters , but one Marvel theory suggests that the X - Men revelation was set up by the villain of MCU Phase 1 . With Marvel now in full control of the word " mutant , " there is no grounds for the MCU to skirt around ascribing the term to characters like Ms. Marvel . In the earliest days of the MCU , however , this was not so easy as Fox owned the right wing to the Marvel characters dubbed " mutants , " while characters like Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch were part of a blurred middle ground .
Whether and when Marvel intended to recover control of the X - Men is unclear , but it is interesting to see how the studio apartment dealt with the front ( or miss therefrom ) of character that have been such an intrinsic part of the Marvel comics mythos . So far , the Christian Bible " mutant , " or " mutation , " has only been impute toKamala Khan and Namor , while other characters likeShe - Hulk : Attorney At Law ’s Mr. Immortal is more than likely one of them . Another phrase , however , has been used to denote what the comics refer to as the " X - Gene " as recently asSecret Invasion , with its mien being precisely what sets up the X - Men ’s arriver in the MCU .
Between Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures Entertainment , here is every upcoming Marvel movie release date and what we know about the projects so far .

Phase 5’s Superhero Gene Sets Up The MCU’s X-Men
Secret Invasionwas largely lambastedfor failing to birth any substantial plot of ground points beyond the fact that Skrulls have inhabited Earth for several years . There were , however , more inside information that may have been well lack that have a big impingement on the spacious MCU . One of these come in the figure of a winking - and - you’ll - miss - it shot of a leger penned by Dr. Priscilla Davis , the woman whose identity element was get into by Fury ’s secret wife , Varra . The book can be briefly seen in the scenery where Fury and Varra shoot and intentionally miss one another at their home plate , with a cover that reads " Decoding the " Superhuman " factor . "
The reveal is significant insofar asthe " Superhuman Gene " seems synonymous with the " X - cistron " of the comics , the genetical lineament present in a smattering of people that , when arouse , turns them into mutant . It is the first prison term that such a thing has been overtly refer in the MCU , with the most prominent superpowered individuals of the MCU receive their abilities through blood serum , radiotherapy , or being blasted by the power of an Infinity Stone until this peak . Yet allusion to genetical predispositions to superpowers were present much early thanSecret Invasion , with the first example being the twins kept in HYDRA ’s deftness .
Hydra Knew About The “Superhero Gene”
The MCU bookThe Wakanda Filesmakes it absolved that the post - Red Skull HYDRA chose to engage in their hush-hush mathematical process in Sokovia for several reasons . Among the more obvious of these was the land ’s privacy and natural ability to go unnoticed as HYDRA continued to carry out human experiment with the Scepter and the Mind Stone contained within it . The book also explicate , however , that HYDRA was aware that the Sokovian world displayed " the appropriate genetic marker " for carrying out these experimentation with the Mind Stone .
HYDRA ’s awareness of a distinctly genetical feature article usually harbor by Sokovian citizen advise that the organization , and those in control of the operations , were aware of the Superhero Gene all along . This tracks with the idea that Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch had their latent powers wake - rather than bestowed - by the Mind Stone while other " volunteers " succumbed to its Brobdingnagian power , like Red Skull with the Tesseract . The notion raises a lot of inquiry about other spectacular MCU fictional character and their potential willpower of the Superhuman Gene , even those that are n’t traditionally consider sport .
Carol Danvers , for instance , was able to take the full flack of the Space Stone before being imbue with untold power , much like Wanda and Pietro did with the Mind Stone . to boot , inShe - giant : Attorney At Law , Bruce mentions that there is something unique about his and Jennifer ’s genes that set aside them to withstand the gamma radiation that gives them the ability to change into Hulk and She - Hulk , severally . With that in mind , the notion that the Superhuman Gene has been present in some of the MCU ’s chief characters - and HYDRA ’s cognisance of its existence - could avail to explain one of the MCU ’s biggest plot hole .
Doctor Strange’s Hydra Plot Hole Could Be Explained By The Superhero Gene
Captain America : The Winter Soldiersaw Steve Rogers reveal the continued operation of HYDRA and their infiltration of SHIELD . The effect of this infiltration meet HYDRA commandeerSHIELD ’s Project Insight- which was an surgical operation designed to notice and eliminate individual that posed a menace in the wake of Loki ’s action in The Avengers - and use it to nail somebody that would put a scourge to HYDRA ’s designs instead . This gave way to a HYDRA hit list , of which Stephen Strange was a part . At the time , however , Stephen Strange was practice medicament with no apparent reading that he would become a powerful thaumaturge .
HYDRA ’s consciousness of the Superhuman Gene would serve to explicate this . It is potential that Strange ’s natural talent for deception was genetic , something that HYDRA somehow was able to harvest in their research of individuals who perplex a scourge . This does raise the question of whether Doctor Strange would therefore be considered a mutant in the MCU ( along with Bruce Banner ) , but Marvel seems to be skirting around this by not referring to an " X - Gene " specifically .
alternatively , the Superhuman Gene seems like a taking into custody - all idiomatic expression that explains how some non - mutant like Doctor Strange harbor certain talents in their genetic makeup , or how Captain Marvel is able to withstand a flack from the Space Stone only to be given powers by it . It also caters to the estimate , however , that the genetic science of mutantMCUcharacters like Scarlet Witch and Ms. Marvel are inextricably linked to their great power . Both instance carry genes that could be consider " superhuman , " but only a select few sport have these factor demonstrate their power directly .
