Did mutants exist in real life?

Answer 1

Mutants do not actually exist, as in aliens from outer space or weird creatures. Mutants as in scientific accidents do exist, though.

Certainly they do. Albinism, for example, is a mutation that occurs in many species. However, if you're asking "Do mutants as depicted in X-whatever exist" then the answer is of course they don't. Many mutations are fatal (and by fatal, I mean the organism with the mutations doesn't even live long enough to be born or hatched or whatever), and almost all mutations are detrimental or at best indifferent. Some mutations are beneficial, such as a moth having a color slightly closer to tree bark and therefore being harder for predators to spot... but these are a) exceedingly rare and b) typically tiny, tiny changes in existing abilities, not "can control magnetism."

Answer 2

No. Mutations happen at the GENETIC level; any "mutation" would affect your children, not you.

Mutations happen all the time, from radiation, drugs, chemicals, and other environmental factors. Most mutations are bad, and kill the fetus before it can develop normally.

Answer 3

No, mutants do not exist in the way they are portrayed in fiction, with superpowers or unique physical characteristics resulting from genetic mutations. In reality, mutations can occur in DNA, but they usually result in genetic disorders or diseases rather than special abilities.

Answer 4

Some people think that there were/are mutants, not like total super powers like spider man or superman, something like psychic abilities, abnormally smart, strong, or fast.

Answer 5

No- they do not exist.
