Mutants, also known as Deviants and Freaks, are, by general definition, organisms that have undergone a permanent change to their genetic structure relative to the norm for their species. Sometimes this results in a new race or breed, or even, as mutations accumulate over time, a new species (speciation), and sometimes it's a one-off that produces effects that don't breed true, or are so negative that they prevent the individual mutant from successfully surviving and breeding. Technically, any deviation in a person's genetic code that isn't a "simple" combination of their parents' alleles would be a mutation. On average, human beings have 150 to 175 mutations each (mostly minor transcription errors or swapped chromatid segments), the vast majority of which are undetectable. So technically, we're all in some sense mutants. Mutants in fiction follow this same basic idea (though normally portrayed in biologically implausible or impossible ways), but have a much wider variety of phenotype effects than Real Life mutations because of Hollywood Evolution. Fictional mutants are often superheroes, because "mutation" is a very easy way to get multiple power sets from a single Superhero Origin (this is why X-Men, the first major comic to have lots of characters introduced all at once, starred a group of mutants). Just as often, humans or other animals are mutated somehow into hideous Always Chaotic Evil monsters for the heroes to fight, or pitiful misunderstood freaks. Because even low levels of radiation can be deadly with prolonged exposure, it's common for stories to have Radiation-Immune Mutants who can survive, thrive on, or require radiation to live. There are two different ways to use the word Mutant: it can refer to characters who were born with a mutation, such as most members of the X-Men. Marvel Comics, the storytellers that have to be the most specific about this kind of thing, refers to these as Mutants. The other definition is things that have had their genetic code changed after birth, whether by radiation damage, gene therapy, or a pandemic disease. Marvel calls these Mutates. Usually in fiction, these after-market mutations also alter germ cells and get passed on to the mutate's kids. For clarity's sake (and in accordance with the Mutant Registration Act), we keep the examples of these two different kinds of mutation separate. The mutates variety (and certain mutants with an Unstable Genetic Code) are prone to experiencing Transformation Horror in some form or fashion. May overlap with Evolutionary Levels if the mutants are "superior" to mankind. A type of Superhero Origin. Very frequent targets for Fantastic Racism. Outside the superhero genre, mutants are most often encountered After the End. A large body of examples of fictional mutants can also be seen on Wikipedia: Mutant (fictional). |

One of Digimon V-Tamer 01's protagonists is a Prehistoric Monster and every last mutant he encounters is antagonistic towards him, though some of them do become his friends later. For whatever reason, many of these monsters have their mutant status revoked in later Digimon works. | |

This Immortal: On post-apocalyptic Earth, genetic mutations caused by nuclear pollution abound, with babies being born deformed even in the civilized areas. Some mutant tribes in Greece resemble and are named after mythological creatures, including satyrs and centaurs. Conrad's dog Bortan is as large as a horse and has plates on his sides, and Conrad himself likely owes his halted aging to a genetic mutation of his own. | |

Tokyo Ghoul: Ken Kaneki is different from all other ghouls because he wasn't born a ghoul; he became one by being experimented on after an accident. It is possible for a ghoul who devours other ghouls to be mutated through their serial cannibalism, gaining the rare Kakuja-type kagune and often going insane in the process. |

Mutants in the X-Men style are the basis of the Whateley Universe. Some tiny fraction of the people who have the 'meta-gene complex' manifest as mutants, typically around age 14. Most of them — good, bad, or indifferent — go to Whateley Academy to learn how to use their powers and not get murdered by lynch mobs of baselines. | |

Buck Rogers in the 25th Century: In one episode, a group of terrorists trying to blow up an antimatter-fueled power station on Earth includes a mutant henchman who has the ability to go de-solid (and thus can make himself immune to attacks at will). Their plot is defeated because the henchman makes a Heel–Face Turn because he will not permit another planet to suffer the same fate as his own world, where everyone not only has powers, but also hideous deformities from the effects of a similar event in the past. (This somewhat misses the point, as most of Earth is populated only by radiation-damaged beings anyway, according to the pilot.) Another episode involves people from a world where everyone, by law, must wear a mask (with a distinctive pattern on it, unique to each individual) and is absolutely prohibited from removing it in the presence of anyone else. One young man, the son of one of the leaders, wants to end this practice. At the end of the episode, he removes his mask and Buck is astonished because he's a handsome, normal-looking human. The subtle horror is revealed when his father and the guards remove their own masks... and reveal that everyone on their planet looks exactly alike. |

Angel: Gwen Raiden has extremely high voltage, and over the years has discovered interesting uses with her powers. For example, sticking her hand in a laser grid, and taking control of the lasers without setting off the alarm. She stands out as this trope because she lacks demonic heritage or magical training like most powered beings in this universe; she just developed the ability naturally. (Though the source of her power is never really examined and could in fact be supernaturally based. All that's really known is she gets struck by lightning a lot.) There is also a character named Bethany who has telekinesis, but that might be considered a Psychic Power instead. Again, precisely where the power comes from is not explained, but it's only present in people who suffer severe trauma. |

In the case of Tenser, he's developing new organs (albeit non-functional ones) apparently through willing it. Brecken, along with Lang and others, are now able to subsist on plastic along with other things most humans can't, with a group that embraces these changes as the future of humanity's evolution. Many other regular humans, though, react to this with animus and even violence. | |

This Alien Shore: Humanity's first attempts at interstellar travel involved an FTL device called a Hausman drive that emitted radiation that mutated the colonists' germ cells, which they didn't realize until they'd reached their new planets and started having kids. For whatever reason, the inhabitants of each planet are affected differently — for example, everyone on the planet Guera has some sort of mental condition, the Salvationers have Handy Feet, and the Belials produce children in matched sets of two to six people who all share a name and a legal identity. | |

In Paranoia, Mutants tie with Commies and Traitors for the greatest threat to Alpha Complex. In fact, if you are a Mutant, you probably are a Commie Traitor as well. Unfortunately, every Player Character is a mutant, and being a mutant is just grounds for immediate execution (please report to the nearest Execution Center, citizen), the only exception being if you are a "registered mutant", in which case you just have to wear a bright yellow ribbon at all times and might as well have "scapegoat" tattooed on your head. However, those with the Machine Empathy mutation are always considered a threat and are instantly terminated if caught, as the possessor can influence and control any robotics or computers, up to and including the Computer, which is considered a Very Bad Thing). | |

Spider-Man's rogues gallery is full of these: Dr. Connors tried to use a serum to give himself the regeneration ability of reptiles to regain his missing arm, turning himself into the Lizard. Morbius combined himself with the DNA of a vampire bat which turned him into a living pseudo-vampire. Black Cat was injected with Super Serum. The combination of exposure to underwater gases, radiation and seawater turned Morris Bench into Hydro-Man. Miles Warren injected himself with several experimental serums to make himself stronger and faster, becoming the Jackal. William Baker was at the beach when the military dropped a nuclear bomb there and became the Sandman. MacDonald Gargan was experimented on with radiation and genetic transfusions and took on the name Scorpion. | |

Shannara: The first "Freaks" were born human but mutated into their new forms due to exposure to radiation, their changes getting passed on to their offspring. By the time of the "Four Lands" era, the Freaks have developed into the races of Dwarves, Gnomes, and Trolls. The Elves encourage the belief that they are another race of these, but are in fact the last faerie people. | |

Dragon Ball: An interview with Akira Toriyama years after the conclusion of the manga revealed that Freeza and King Cold are mutants among their own race, hence why they are exceptionally strong compared to the vast majority of them. In the manga proper, the Ginyu Force are also confirmed mutants. Cooler and Kuriza (Freeza’s brother and son) are assumed to be mutants as well, especially Cooler though they aren’t considered canon. Dragon Ball Super: Broly: Broly's extreme power, even for a Saiyan, is explained as him being a mutant. He also has a superior version of the Saiyan's normal Adaptive Ability. A normal Saiyan becomes stronger after recovering from an injury, but he can become stronger during a fight if he is being overwhelmed by his current opponent. |

The Eldians, a.k.a. the Subjects of Ymir, in Attack on Titan are, in absolutely all other respects, ordinary human beings. However, they're also the only race in the world who have the ability to transform into Titans, which happens whenever their bodies absorb Titan cerebrospinal fluid. Their ability also doesn't correspond to the traditional laws of biology; not only is the Eldian ability passed on to all descendants without dilution (unless the other races of the world are more "Eldian" than they care to admit), but the Founding Titan has the ability to remake the biology of all Eldians simultaneously, which was done at one point to grant them immunity to a plague. | |

In Rage (2011), Mutants are deformed humans that prowl the wasteland as savage predators, believed to have been created by cosmic radiation from the asteroid impact. They're disorganized, but plentiful — and some of them are gigantic. They're actually a by-product of the Authority trying to use the Nanotrites to control humans and turn them into super soldiers as a means of controlling the post-apocalyptic Earth. | |

Several mutants appear in Total Recall (1990) as deformed inhabitants of a Mars colony, born with deformities due to their colonist parents being forced to live in poorly made domes that didn't protect them from space radiations during the early stages of colonization. One of the most famous ones is the three-breasted prostitute. | |

SCP Foundation: Any animals within 12 meters of the center of SCP-065 ("Destroyed Organic Catalyst") suffer rapid harmful mutations. The larger the animal is, the faster the mutations occur. Any animal that enters SCP-783 ("Baba Yaga's Cottage") undergoes massive mutations which usually give enhanced combat abilities. Any water that passes through SCP-1575 ("Venus Statue") gains mutagenic properties. Any animal that drinks the water will undergo mutation into a human being. When animals or plants are exposed to the substance SCP-1888-2 ("Terraforming Temple"), they physically mutate, with their bodies developing means of effective attacks (claws, poisoned thorns, etc.). SCP-2756 ("Surreal Landscaper") is an anomalous disease of unknown origin that mutates living creatures, causing extra organs to grow on random parts of their bodies. |

Kong Tower features both varieties. Most call Mutates "Curios", and the phenomenon that creates them is scientifically termed the "Sklodowska Reaction", which causes cellular metamorphosis and allows for No Conservation of Energy. In the comic where the concept is described it's pointed out that college courses that teach about this reaction have to lock the doors so that students don't try to experiment on themselves to get superpowers before the lesson's over. | |

Total Drama: At least a year has passed between Island and Revenge of the Island and in that time Chris has agreed to let Camp Wawanakwa be used as dumping ground for toxic waste. As a result, flora and fauna alike have mutated, and for the duration of Revenge of the Island, mutation is a fate that can befall anyone on the island. After the season, the island gets cleaned up and all the mutants are brought over to a nature reserve on Boney Island known as the Fun Zone. Fang is a mutant shark with human-level intelligence, two legs, two arms, and the ability to survive outside of the water. He is a recurring threat to the campers and one of few mutants not to take up residence in the Fun Zone. Larry is a mutant flytrap who has prehensile vines and can uproot himself to give chase to any prey. He was Chris's pet before mutating and falls back into that role when Chris returns to the island until he eventually settles in the Fun Zone. In "A Mine Is a Terrible Thing to Waste", Dakota is sent into a radioactive mine to test the area for safety. She stays for forty minutes, blacks out at some point, and gets retrieved by the other interns. She loses her hair before she even comes to, and about a day after, in "The Treasure Island of Doctor McLean", she becomes a little bigger, a little stronger, a little spikier, and a little more prone to Hulk Speak every time she experiences a burst of anger. Her final form is powerful, inhumanly tall, and has green spiked hair, orange skin, red eyes, and a tail. She comes to like her new self and makes a career out of it, being one of the few mutants not to make the Fun Zone their home. Josh is an intern who instantly mutates when he falls into a biohazardous sinkhole in "The Enchanted Franken-Forest". His new form is a human-like creature with uneven monster limbs and bat wings. From that moment on, he's no longer an intern and does not show up in that role again. His fate is unknown, although Chris does advise him to join the circus. Ezekiel's monstrous appearance is not due to mutation but due to feralization. Nonetheless, he does become a mutant during his time amidst radioactive waste, because while it does not affect his appearance, it leaves him with acid spit by the time of "Zeek and Ye Shall Find". |

In the world of Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts, the surface is populated largely by "mutes", animals who have various strange characteristics. They are usually larger than normal (sometimes much larger), have extra appendages and other features, and are often, though not universally, sentient. Much of the plant life has mutated as well, with patches of "death ivy" and cacti taller than skyscrapers dotting the landscape. | |

Deathlands has more mutants than you can shake a smoking gun barrel at. After the nuke, humanity and nature both mutated in unpredictable ways. They're shown as either victims of Fantastic Racism or the standard sci-fi pulp Always Chaotic Evil opponents. The exception to that binary is Krysty Wroth, one of the main heroes, a beautiful redhead mutant who's completely human in appearance and whose mutations are mostly beneficial, such as minor telepathy and trance-induced Super-Strength; her only deleterious mutation is that her hair is living, causing her great pain when it's attacked. | |

Fen Quest has the land of Erja Nokol, which in addition to having a mutant population is also home to highly mutagenic tar pools that cause even more drastic changes (turning "mutants" into "abominations", as per local terminology) if one ends up submerged in them. Yet some of the unluckiest mutants will willingly take a dip in tar, playing a second round of Superpower Russian Roulette on the off chance that the new mutations may improve their lot in life. That's what happened to Tomato: He became a quadruped (without gaining additional arms, which means he doesn't have hands) with a hide covered in poisonous barbs and can't talk without great pain, and as Cheese explains, that was a step up from what he used to be. | |

The Vorkosigan Saga actually uses mutants correctly: instead of superpowers, you get horrible deformities! Barrayar became a Lost Colony for a while after the wormhole nexus connecting them to the wider galaxy was disrupted somehow, well before they had a large enough population to avoid problems with inbreeding, and then a neighboring power with territorial ambitions made matters worse by dropping a bunch of nukes on them. The resulting cultural stigma against any kind of deformity — even non-hereditary ones like a cleft lip, or what happened to Miles in utero — is something they're still a long way from moving past for most of the series. | |

Marvel Universe: Daredevil's childhood accident with radioactive/chemical/whatever waste blinded him, but also helped to enhance his senses beyond what would be possible for a non-mutate blind person. The Fantastic Four received their powers as a result of exposure to space-radiation. The Incredible Hulk got mutated to his green self by a hefty dose of gamma radiation. He can switch it on and off... Spider-Man: Spidey originally got his powers when the bite of a radioactive/genetically altered spider altered his genes. Spider-Man's rogues gallery is full of these: Dr. Connors tried to use a serum to give himself the regeneration ability of reptiles to regain his missing arm, turning himself into the Lizard. Morbius combined himself with the DNA of a vampire bat which turned him into a living pseudo-vampire. Black Cat was injected with Super Serum. The combination of exposure to underwater gases, radiation and seawater turned Morris Bench into Hydro-Man. Miles Warren injected himself with several experimental serums to make himself stronger and faster, becoming the Jackal. William Baker was at the beach when the military dropped a nuclear bomb there and became the Sandman. MacDonald Gargan was experimented on with radiation and genetic transfusions and took on the name Scorpion. Untold Tales of Spider-Man featured Batwing, who was originally a prepubescent boy. When he got lost in the Carlsbad Caverns and drank water polluted from illegal chemical dumping, he turned into a giant flying bat-creature. |

Pathfinder: The game has two different mutant templates that can be applied to a creature's stats. The Mutant template represents mutation from unusual circumstances, particularly the alien fluids of Numeria, and gives creatures some additional abilities as well as a deformity and an immunity to radiation. The Mana Wastes Mutant is for creatures specifically mutated by the Mana Wastes of Garund, gaining multiple abilities at the cost of a random deformity and any spell-like abilities the creature had. Jotund trolls are thought to arise when regular trolls are exposed to intense mutagenic influences, a theory supported by the fact that most of their kind live in either the magically twisted Mana Wastes and the irradiated badlands of Numeria, both areas home to large populations of mutated creatures. They are given the "mutant" trait in 2E to reflect this. Xulgaths — pale-scaled Lizard Folk that live Beneath the Earth — are prone to a variety of dramatic mutations due to their long exposure to the intense radiation of the Black Desert, an immense underground cavern lined with radioactive minerals, which has permanently warped their physiology and genetics. Their naturally occurring mutations include bilebearers, xulgaths with bulging throat sacs that produce a sticky, toxic slime that they can spit in directed globs or as a fine mist; gutragers, a more developed offshoot of bilebearers with acidic spit, extendable esophagi and the ability to explode; bloodleakers born with scaleless, easily ruptured hides, usually kept as blood donors or living blood banks for religious rituals; goreguts with distended bellies and ravenous appetites; twinskulls, conjoined twins considered blessed by the xulgaths' demonic god; spinesnappers, hulking colossi used as shock troops and combat champions; In addition to this considerable inborn variation, magical and alchemical tampering and can create much more dramatic mutations. These include stonelieges, xulgaths alchemically or magically infused with the essence of elemental earth, granting them increased strength, resilience and longevity alongside the ability to magically shape stone; and slaugraks, freakish, bestial mutants born from clutches tainted by the Abyss. |

While the Marvel aspects are primarily based on the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the fic includes considerable elements of mainstream comics canon, mutants among them, including most of the classic X-Men (in sometimes slightly altered forms), as well as Wanda Maximoff, Peter Wisdom (a.k.a. Regulus Black, making him a wizard too) and Magneto (referred to for most of the first book as The Dreaded — for good reason). Harry himself is one, via his maternal grandmother, who was the sister of Jean Grey's grandmother, underlining his status as a Heinz Hybrid. That said, it is implied that his mutation and Asgardian abilities will clash in the form of a brain hemorrhage. | |

In Dungeons & Dragons, trolls' prodigious Healing Factor can react weirdly to different stimuli. "Troll mutates" have been exposed to the corrupting nature of the Far Realm, and sport Body Horror like exposed internal organs and vestigial limbs — when damaged in combat, they mutate even further as they heal damage, sprouting extra heads, arms or wings, which might be functional. In other cases, damage from large amounts of a particular substance or energy might mutate trolls accordingly, creating noxious venom trolls, spirit trolls that exist as purely psionic entities, or rot trolls that emanate a field of degenerative necrotic energy. | |

Despite Sin City being (relatively) more realistic than most comic series, the Yellow Bastard could still very easily be considered a mutate. He underwent gene therapy in order to reattach his lost body parts and repair his damaged brain, turning into a yellow freak in the process. It's heavily implied that his yellow color and trademark stench is due to organ damage caused by the process, leading to his body filling with bile as it basically rots while he's still alive. | |

The Master, the main villain of the first game, is also a mutate, a former scientist who fell into a vat of FEV and was left to soak in it rather than mutating through brief exposure. The result was a massive Body Horror abomination of liquid flesh with incredible Psychic Powers and Voice of the Legion whose living flesh covers the bottom part of his base. | |

There are also some humans with minor mutations amongst the human populace. The Slags in Fallout 2 are a group of humans who took shelter in subterranean caves — when they returned to the surface, they found out that their bodies couldn't handle living on the outside. Your own character can get a sixth mutated toe by stepping in the toxic goo in the Toxic Caves without protective boots, but you can pay a doctor to amputate it. A man in Gecko was scorned in Vault City and eventually exiled himself because of the way he was mistreated for being very radiation resistant. In Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel, one of the enemy groups you fight against is the group of tribals called "The Beastlords", who were mutated by radiation near the caverns where they lived and gained the ability to mind-control most animals near them, except humans and Deathclaws. | |

In Fallout 3, your Player Character can be bestowed a variety of mutations as you level up, ranging from simple radiation resistance, to having a Healing Factor while suffering radiation poisoning to being able to heal yourself via cannibalism. The last such feat that can be taken causes the PC to VIOLENTLY EXPLODE when s/he hits critical health, without actually hurting herself. | |

Origin Story is based on the Marvel Universe, so yes, there are mutants. The most notable one is Louise Fulford, the main character's love interest. Her mutant power, the ability to change her hair color (all her hair, not just the stuff on her head) to any shade or combination of shades she wishes) is less than overwhelming. There is an entire community of homeless, low-powered mutants living under an overpass in Los Angeles. Alex Harris (the story's main character) and Louise take shelter with them for a while, and look after them afterward. |

Fallout: Two major in-game races, the Ghouls and the Super Mutants, are the result of a combination of radiation fallout and the Forced Evolutionary Virus, a pre-war biological weapon that was designed to create disposable Super Soldiers. When the war happened, some containment vessels burst and were exposed to radiation, creating an air-borne version of the virus that turns anyone exposed to it alongside a massive dose of radiation into a Ghoul, a person who looks just like a zombie even though they're still alive. They also gain immunity from radiation which instead heals them and makes them biologically immortal, but has the drawback of running the risk of turning Feral, a state when their brains decay from radiation exposure, turning them into mindless cannibals, like a traditional zombie, and making them sterile as well. The Super Mutants, on the other hand, are the result of direct, untainted exposure to the FEV, which turns humans into hulking, ogre-like monsters with Super-Strength, biological immortality and superhuman toughness. Unfortunately, it also tends to lower their intelligence, and renders the mutate completely sterile. The Master, the main villain of the first game, is also a mutate, a former scientist who fell into a vat of FEV and was left to soak in it rather than mutating through brief exposure. The result was a massive Body Horror abomination of liquid flesh with incredible Psychic Powers and Voice of the Legion whose living flesh covers the bottom part of his base. In Fallout 3, your Player Character can be bestowed a variety of mutations as you level up, ranging from simple radiation resistance, to having a Healing Factor while suffering radiation poisoning to being able to heal yourself via cannibalism.

Batman: Killer Croc was originally conceived as just an unusually large and strong man with a skin condition not unlike epidermolytic hyperkeratosis, giving him a scaly, crocodile-like hide. Then, later artists and writers portrayed him with a bunch of other reptilian/crocodile-like traits such as the ability to stay underwater for long periods, a pronounced snout, reptilian eyes, an atavistic mindset, and sometimes even a tail. At least one writer has explained this as a a mutation in his disease (and possibly a metagene) that was further worsened by Hush infecting him with a mutagenic virus. The end result is the crocodilian monster we all know and love. The fifth Clayface, Cassius Payne, is the only Clayface born with his condition, being the product of two clay mutations marrying. Batman: The Dark Knight Returns has a massive teen gang called the Mutants terrifying Gotham. The leader is probably the only Mutant who might actually be a mutant. Well, that or a plain old sociopath with filed teeth. |

In Gintama, the second to last story arc in the series reveals this to be the case of Big Bad Utsuro and Kagura's mother, Kouka. They were born with the ability to absorb and store large amounts of their birth planets' Altana, giving them a Healing Factor, slow aging, and near immortality. If they leave their birth planets, they will have to rely on their large reserves until it runs out, greatly weakening them as was the case with Kouka, combined with giving birth to two children. | |

Freaks tells the story of a troupe of sideshow performers with a number of rare disabilities. Most of the acts featured in the movie (and in their sideshow acts) focus on how they function in their day-to-day lives, such as Frances O'Connor eating her dinner with a knife and fork or knitting despite not having arms, Johnny Eck walking without legs, and Prince Randian lighting and smoking a cigarette when he doesn't have limbs at all. The stars of this movie had the same disabilities as their characters, and like their characters, they led pretty contented lives and saw The Freakshow as merely a way to make a living. | |

The Contractors and Dolls of Darker than Black probably count, being a Darker and Edgier take on the traditional comic books version, although other than the fact that they generally have a Meta Origin, there's no indication of whether or not any genetic difference exists. It might even be a subversion; it's mentioned offhand that some government research organizations assumed it was genetic, tried eugenics programs to get themselves a superpowered army, and failed miserably. | |

Kamen Rider 555: The Orphnoch race is a higher evolutionary state for humankind that select people are able to achieve, either by dying and coming back or by being "sired" by another Orphnoch. Although it turns out that the process of awakening ones' Orphnoch powers puts too much stress on the body, resulting in a shortened lifespan unless they get the defect corrected by their King. | |

Enter the Farside: Some Fargraced are born or emerge from the Farside with physical deformities. Jolly's gang, the Manc Freakshow, are entirely made up of Mutants. Jolly is a 9-foot-tall hulk with green skin and mossy hair. Triclops has three large, black eyes that can operate independently. Ooze's body liquids are replaced by an inky substance. Squeeks looks like a man/rat hybrid, and Aberrant is neckless with four arms that join at his elbows. | |

In The Infected, they're called... well, Infected. Otherwise, the trope is played dead straight like in X-Men. Several times, people have to reiterate that the Infected aren't contagious or anything, that's just the name that stuck when medical science was trying to decide what to make of them. | |

The Forgotten in Command & Conquer are the result of the Brotherhood of NOD's human experiments with Tiberium, and each faction views them differently: the Brotherhood outright loathes the mutants, the shiners are nothing more than a convenient ally for GDI, and the Forgotten view themselves "a people of honor". Naturally, they always get shafted. | |

In the Pony POV Series, there are several examples. The apocalypse (the magical equivalent of a nuclear holocaust) that ended the Golden Age mutated several beings into monsters, some of which became complete species. The Griffins and sapient livestock are positive examples, as they were mutated in such a way as to become sapient. After Apple Bloom's Cosmic Retcon, the myth that Sweetheart had Healing Hands is made reality, being the result of her being mutated by the blast. It turns out this is the origin of the Sirens. They were originally a trio of Sea Ponies who had a magic spell that allowed them to transform into Flutterponies. Then the aforementioned apocalypse happened, mutating them into their Sea Monster forms and making them extremely powerful and dangerous. One of their siblings wasn't so lucky and didn't survive the mutation. Lord Tirek was originally a normal centaur before absorbing an unholy amount of magic from Pandora's Box mutated him into his current form. |

The DCU: Zig-zagged; while there are some straight-up mutates, many superheroes (and villains) were later retconned to have something called a "Metagene", which grants superpowers under a moment of intense psychological stress. One Superman story, very likely as a Take That! against Marvel, features a group of four people who get exposed to space-radiation. They mutate and get superpowers alright. All of them end up becoming unbalanced and eventually commit suicide (aside from their leader who becomes the villainous Cyborg-Superman) because radiation is dangerous. |

Futurama features a society of downtrodden mutants with amusingly altered physical states (a girl with a pig nose and gills, a man with a third arm instead of an ear) forced to live in the sewers of New New York. None of them have superpowers, though (well, not from their mutations, anyway). Their similarity to Rubber-Forehead Aliens is why Leela was able to pass for a functioning member of society until The Reveal. | |

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, despite their name, are actually mutates instead of mutants, having been born normal turtles before being given humanoid form by a mysterious substance known either as Ooze or Mutagen (in reality industrial waste created by the alien Utroms in the comics and most later incarnations, and Krang in the first cartoon). "Mutants" are used as the blanket term used for anyone or anything that was transformed with mutagen, whether they are sentient, humanoid or neither. | |

In The Hills Have Eyes (1977), the members of the antagonistic Cannibal Clan exhibit a number of deformities and mutations. Papa Jupiter was twenty pounds at birth and the size of his father at the age of ten; his children (save for Ruby) are just as freaky, with Pluto being the most visibly different. It's subtly implied that their deformities come from radiation from the tests the Air Force are running nearby (though Michael Berryman being cast as Pluto is a rather... strong hint); in the remake, it's outright stated that their mutations are caused by radiation exposure (along with inbreeding). | |

Super Snail from QCplay Limited has Super Snail himself. He's already a nearly human-sized snail in 2033 A.D., so he's either a mutant or mutate to start but even before he has his first fight, he consumes some cells from a Demon God and mutates to grow a large pair of fangs and rodent-like teeth. Additionally he can makes friends with a ninja Turtle mutate and that mutated thing from the movie The Host (2006). | |

Felidae: Out of all the cats experimented on by Dr. Preterius, only Claudandus survived exposure to the doctor's healing glue. Preterius theorized that Claudandus is a mutant, with some unique genetic factor allowing his body to respond positively to the glue. Unfortunately, Preterius' tortuous attempts to crack the cat's genetic code and replicate the mutation only succeed in giving Claudandus a murderous hatred for humans. | |

Ambient: The Ambients are this in varying degrees. It's thought that they were born from parents who survived a nuclear accident on Long Island. Completely isolated from NYC itself and feared by the public, the Ambients formed their own community, culture, language and a religion based on the 'Godness'. While some of them are 'lucky' enough to lack limbs or end up as dwarfs, many of them are so deformed to the point of having grotesque mutations that rival those from real-life disasters such as Chernobyl. In the book's climax, it turns out that they weren't products of the actual nuclear accident itself. In fact, their parents were given anti-radiation pills that deformed the fetuses during the mother's pregnancy. The Ambients' parents migrated from Long Island into the abandoned parts of the city to escape from being purged. | |

Spider-Man: Spidey originally got his powers when the bite of a radioactive/genetically altered spider altered his genes. Spider-Man's rogues gallery is full of these: Dr. Connors tried to use a serum to give himself the regeneration ability of reptiles to regain his missing arm, turning himself into the Lizard. Morbius combined himself with the DNA of a vampire bat which turned him into a living pseudo-vampire. Black Cat was injected with Super Serum. The combination of exposure to underwater gases, radiation and seawater turned Morris Bench into Hydro-Man. Miles Warren injected himself with several experimental serums to make himself stronger and faster, becoming the Jackal. William Baker was at the beach when the military dropped a nuclear bomb there and became the Sandman. MacDonald Gargan was experimented on with radiation and genetic transfusions and took on the name Scorpion. Untold Tales of Spider-Man featured Batwing, who was originally a prepubescent boy. When he got lost in the Carlsbad Caverns and drank water polluted from illegal chemical dumping, he turned into a giant flying bat-creature. |

Perry Rhodan features a Mutant Corps (with generally Psychic Powers), especially in the early series, when they're one of Earth's few trump cards against a militarily superior universe. Over time, attrition takes its toll (especially when the first-generation immortality Applied Phlebotinum becomes unavailable and the replacement is sharply limited in supply) and various countermeasures are introduced, but the few remaining mutants stay on as main characters for a long time, and a new one or two occasionally shows up. Later, a wave of mostly teenage mutants appear who can trace their origin back to mass genetic engineering on a particular colony world during the latest dark age of the galaxy; however, they are also afflicted with a deliberate genetic flaw that will eventually trigger and kill them, and the eventual cure has the side effect of removing their powers as well. | |

Stranger Things: The Reveal of Season 4 is that Big Bad Henry Creel a.k.a. One a.k.a. Vecna is a mutant. Unlike Eleven, who artificially gained her Psychic Powers through hallucinogenic drugs while in utero during her mother's time as a government test subject, Henry (as terrifying as it is comprehend) was born naturally with psychic powers and actually used by Dr Brenner to help give Eleven and the rest children their powers as the template. Unfortunately, being an Enfant Terrible, Henry used his abilities abhorrently and by the time he was an adult and free of his Power Nullifier, Henry planned to subjugate humanity before being defeated and banished to the Upside Down by Eleven. | |

It's Alive revolves around a mutated baby born with multiple abnormalities, including fangs, claws, and apparently the ability to move about despite being a newborn infant — all of which make it very dangerous when upset, as newborns tend to be immediately after birth.

In Dredd, mutants are a result of the atomic wars that occurred in the backstory. Some are stated to have no arms, three arms, etc. Anti-mutant graffiti can be seen in the Peach Trees block. Anderson is a borderline case, being a telepath. Kay even points out how lucky she is that her mutation does not affect her physical appearance. Dredd indicates that mutants are generally banned from becoming Judges; Anderson was let in because her telepathic ability exceeds any recorded case. | |

Legion of Super-Heroes: Mano, one of the members of the Fatal Five, is one of the few metahumans explicitly mentioned as being a mutant, having been born with the ability to disintegrate anything he touched with his right hand. Notably, however, Mano is not human, but an alien mutant. As a response to the mistreatment that he received because of his mutation, Mano became a monster and used his anti-matter touch to destroy his own homeworld, afterward plaguing the galaxy at large. Another mutant from the Legion books is the hero Ferro Lad (or just Ferro, in the post-Zero Hour: Crisis in Time! version), who has the power to turn his body into steel. |

Warhammer 40,000: If the Imperium is intolerant when it comes to natural mutation, it's positively flamer-happy when it comes to mutates, which are (often correctly) seen as the result of the corrupting influence of Chaos. It is therefore renegades and Chaos worshipers who survive to appreciate the "gifts" of the Dark Gods — or not. Some Chaos sorcerers actually weaponize this, and use their psychic powers to grant allies additional abilities, or turn an enemy character into a mewling pile of flesh. Even some loyalist Space Marine chapters fall prey to this, when quirks in their gene-seed cause initiates to develop unconventional traits. The Black Dragons for instance have a tendency to grow bony talons from their forearms, which they plate with adamantium and use in close combat, while the Blood Angels and their successors are cursed with a Flaw that can drive them to spontaneously fall into an Unstoppable Rage they call the Red Thirst, or hallucinate the Genetic Memory of their Primarch's death, which they call the Black Rage. These are only barely tolerated by the Imperium, which requires that chapters regularly send tithes of gene-seed for screening and monitoring to try and prevent future occurrences. The Soul Drinkers stand out being tainted by Chaos, mutating, and being declared traitors and heretics, yet still opposing Chaos and purifying their gene-seed for the next generation of recruits. Of course, those already affected can't change back — and many don't want to, given the usefulness of their mutations. In a downplayed example, the Tyranids use this in the first stage of their invasion process, or "Tyranoforming". They seed a target world with spores that cause the local flora to mutate and grow out of control, to make it easier to consume the planet's biomass. The spin-off Necromunda has an entire gang faction of these in House Goliath. These muscle-heads undergo intergenerational heavy use of gene-altering muscle enhancements to create an almost subspecies of humans, with many members of House Goliath being bigger than most Space Marines. The most extreme case is the Goliath Berserkers, who are mutated to the point of being as strong as a Greater Daemon or Dreadnought and often sprouting razor-sharp bonespurs. |

In Codex Equus, genetic mutations are so prominent they get their own entry, with it being noted throwing magic into things makes things a lot more complex. Dreadmares are rare mutated Boogeymares. Dread was a mutant Dreadmare, dubbed a Dreadmare Emperor, with pony-level intelligence and much stronger than normal. In Changeling cultures, mutants are referred to as 'Deviants', and is often looked on with fear and rejection by the rest of their kind due to how unstable the Changeling genetic structure is. Chrysalis in particular hated them due to her racial supremacist views and had decreed their extermination during her reign. Thorax was one due to his ability to shapeshift into inanimate objects, something he hid from the rest of his hive until his and his hive's Purification. His hive ended up gaining it as well, and his brother Pharynx is also a mutant with his natural combat form. As it turns out, Rainbow Dash is one. She's a Rainbow Pony, a mutant with a genetic mutation that lets her metabolize light into energy and mana, which are known for their super speed. However, even by their standards she's extremely fast, though she is unaware of everything the mutation would allow her to do. Luminiferous is interested in bringing out her potential so she could perform the legendary "Rainbow Warp". Applejack, Fluttershy, and Zecora are also mutants, though of a much less phenomenal degree than Rainbow. They possess the very common "Happy Tail" gene, and thus have Prehensile Tails. Happy Tail mutations are also very common in Equus. Princess Twilight Sparkle is a "So Soft" pony, based on the G1 pony toy line of the same name. Her mutation makes her fur somewhat thicker and much softer than normal, which can provide a natural armor against cold weather and some weaponry. |

In Unsounded, minor mutations are caused by the Background Magic Field of the Khert causing interference. Some people get eyes that see into the Khert or modified brain stems that let them cast spells mentally instead of vocally; others get deformed limbs or are stuck smelling like vinegar all their lives. Bratty Half-Pint Sette has a tail that she's quite proud of, though her Barbie Doll Anatomy and strange interactions with the Khert raise some questions about how far the mutations go. | |

The Empire in Warhammer responds to mutations in much the same way as the Imperium in 40k. The Norscans, in contrast, view a sudden mutation as a sign of the gods' favor, and such individuals will usually rise to prominence in a tribe. It's a fine line even for them, though — people who accumulate too many mutations too quickly run a real risk of being overwhelmed by them and degenerating into mindless, gibbering Chaos Spawn. | |

In Basilisk, both the Iga and Kouga clan have been selectively breeding mutant members of their clans, resulting in powers and occasionally deformities. These in-bred abilities vary in how controllable they are (unlike say usual depictions of Charles Atlas Superpower or Ki Manipulation where characters who have them never seem to have control issues unless they go beyond their limits) and how potent they are. | |

The Doctor Who story entitled "The Mutants" turns out to be an subversion. The supposedly mutant (or "mutt") Solonians are in fact undergoing a natural metamorphosis as part of their life cycle, the effect of the planet in question moving into summer. What's more, the insect-like "mutant" form is merely an intermediate stage, and the final form is a powerful, godlike being. | |

A Canticle for Leibowitz: After the Flame Deluge, mutations became common among humanity as a result of the high radiation levels. The mutants are described as coming in many different flavors, from simply having patches of skin in various shades to a full-on Multiple Head Case. They are known as "the Pope's Children" after the Pope issues an edict that they are not to be harmed. Unfortunately for Brother Francis, they didn't return the favor. Other times, the are called "the children of the Fallout" for rather obvious reasons. | |

Child of the Storm: While the Marvel aspects are primarily based on the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the fic includes considerable elements of mainstream comics canon, mutants among them, including most of the classic X-Men (in sometimes slightly altered forms), as well as Wanda Maximoff, Peter Wisdom (a.k.a. Regulus Black, making him a wizard too) and Magneto (referred to for most of the first book as The Dreaded — for good reason). Harry himself is one, via his maternal grandmother, who was the sister of Jean Grey's grandmother, underlining his status as a Heinz Hybrid. That said, it is implied that his mutation and Asgardian abilities will clash in the form of a brain hemorrhage. This is also given as the origin for the ability to use magic, a genetic mutation called 'the M-Gene', which can have considerable variation in how it manifests — i.e., wanded wizards or wandless (though it's hinted that that one is more like being right or left-handed, and most can be trained to use at least a halfway house between the two), stronger or weaker practitioners who, in the latter case, do different things. |

Nasuverse: A lot of characters get their powers by being born mutants. In one of the side stories it is said that while such a person can turn the side of a battle, they typically don't survive said battle. And keeping these mutations in the next generation is a difficult task. A few families of the Demon Hunter Association managed to overcome these problems, especially Nanaya and Ryogi. Their powers were not particularly impressive, but they compensated this by being Badass Families. | |

In Super Minion, there's the mutavus virus. For most people, it remains dormant their entire lives, but if someone suffers a mortal wound that doesn't kill them instantly, there's a chance it will activate and modify their body in order to save their life. The frightening and at times gruesome results, combined with some common misinformation about the nature of mutavus, lead to a lot of Fantastic Racism, even though the majority of mutants are no more dangerous or criminally inclined than anyone else. | |

In Book 2 of The Legend of Korra, it's shown that first Avatar was a form of mutate. When a spirit possesses a person, the possessed's morphology and anatomy radically changes in accordance to the spirit; in Wan's case, these alterations were internal and perhaps more metaphysical in nature, since he fused with Raava, the light spirit. After their permanent bonding in the Harmonic Convergence, they became united as one, and as such the Avatar has ever since been a human altered by Raava's essence. | |

Orphans of the Sky: The "Muties" who live in the lower-gravity parts of the ship seem to have gotten their name both from being descendants of the crewmembers whose mutiny helped propel the ship into barbarism, but very much also from the word "mutant". The "Muties" include the microcephalic dwarf Bobo; Joe-Jim, a two-headed man — that is, a pair of conjoined twins, albeit very closely conjoined — who is a leader of the "Muties"; and a four-armed woman who serves as a knifemaker for the Mutie community. Mutant children are sometimes born among the Crew as well, but they are usually killed at birth. | |

The idea that Newtypes in Mobile Suit Gundam are a result of evolution or mutation is gradually debunked as the metaseries goes on. In the earliest shows, however, they are implied to be humans adapting to living (and dying) in space by gaining enhanced senses and low-level Psychic Powers. All related tropes about mutants being exploited, persecuted, and persecuting back apply in full, as well. | |

Those on the Lower Levels fear and despise them because of their deformities. For instance, their leader Gregory has a malformed leg and Bobo has been mute since birth. The Mutants are believed to be descended from the followers of the mutineer Huff, the most hated name in their mythology as he opposed their god Jordan. It is unclear whether or not this is true. | |

Gears of War: The Locust are really the descendants of experiments at the New Hope facility where people were deliberately exposed to Imulsion so that the COG could treat rustlung, with Myrrah being a rustlung miner's daughter who was used as the genetic template for the Locust due to her unique genetic immunity to Imulsion. The Sires, their predecessors, were essentially the first Lambent creatures. The Lambent are Locust creatures that get mutated from too much exposure to Imulsion. By Gears of War 3, it's revealed that humans have also started to go Lambent. |

The Mutant Files by William C. Dietz takes place after a global incident similar to 12 Monkeys. An Islamist terrorist infiltrates his followers throughout the globe, and when the time comes, they release a genetically engineered virus into the world which killed large numbers of humanity. The few who survived mutate with many gross deformities and no advantages — worse, yet these mutations became hereditary, leading to reservations for the mutants. X-Men this series is not. | |

Little Mushroom: The disappearance of the Earth's geomagnetic field caused its inhabitants to become bombarded by cosmic radiation, which has led to ordinary animals mutating into far more powerful and deadly monsters who are capable of passing on the mutation to humans. Humans who become mutated are called "xenogenics" and they're killed on sight by the military officers guarding the human bases due to them almost always losing their human consciousness entirely and caring only about spreading their mutation to as many humans as possible. It's revealed later on in the story that there's a hidden group of xenogenics who have managed to retain thier human consciousness and the ending has the mutations become stabilized enough that humans can become xenogenics without danger of losing their human will or morality which, coupled with the hidden group of xenogenics helping save the world in the climax, causes xenogenics to become much more accepted with many humans even voluntarily undergoing mutation to gain xenogenic abilities. | |

In "It's a Good Life", Anthony's parents are normal humans, but Anthony is some kind of undescribed monster with Reality Warper powers. In the adaptation in The Twilight Zone (1959), he looks normal, but the story suggests that he looks quite inhuman — he has a "purple gaze", an "odd shadow", and the doctor who delivered him tried to kill him after getting a good look at him. | |

The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant: The magically created sort. Foul can use the Illearth Stone to twist living things into monstrous shapes, and uses this ability to create expendable mooks for his armies. In the Second Chronicles, being exposed to the Sunbane at the exact moment the sun rises will (unless you're touching stone at the time or are not native to the Land) trigger random mutations and insanity. | |

Studio Nanafushi's Dead or School has a post-apocalyptic Japan where people have been mutated by an unknown virus into zombie-like mooks and huge monstrosities. So many were created that the mutants would drive the remaining humans deep underground for 78 years. The virus didn't just infect humans, animals and plants were also affected — this ranged from the harmless such as edible fish sprouting legs and vegetables developing eyes to far more dangerous creatures such as venom-spitting plants and Giant Spiders of various sizes and abilities. | |

In Fighting Fantasy, mutants are a result of exposure to large quantities of dark magic such as those released in the historical War of the Wizards. Mutants are also a result of horrific experiments by Evil Sorcerers and Mad Scientists. | |

In Vampire: The Requiem, Bloodlines are a form of mutation. Upon reaching a certain level of power, Vampires can fundamentally alter their blood to become a new Bloodline (a subspecies of Vampire)... but the only real catalyst for this is a large expenditure of willpower and the sufficiently potent blood. More than a few Bloodlines have emerged accidentally, or as the result of the Founder surviving a nasty curse. | |

Played very darkly in the metatextual post-apocalyptic novel The Iron Dream, as mutants are used as a metaphor for how fascists (specifically, Hitler) view other races than their own. | |
