Okay so this is like the 3rd post I’ve made about my theories about Mutants in the MCU lol but I wanted to make this post because I just thought of a scenario for one particular mutant, Wolverine. So Idk what the official plans are for Wolverine in the MCU so this is just based off of my prior knowledge about the MCU and my own personal theory that I made about mutants, which you can read about here:
So I talked about how my theory was that Mutants have always existed but the thing is that a lot of those mutants had dormant x-genes and that there wasn’t that many mutants with activated powers until the late 20th century and early 21st century, where many events during that time period could’ve caused many mutants to emerge. Now I say this because I have a feeling that Wolverine would’ve been one of those rare few mutants who’s abilities activated before the late 20th century and early 21st century. I also theorize that there’s one particular character in the MCU that we all know so well that has always been fully aware about the existence of Mutants, Nick Fury.
I believe that Nick Fury knows that he knows about Mutants due to the fact that he’s a very secretive person. I mean this wouldn’t have been the first time that he had secret knowledge about the existence of a particular superhuman, Captain Marvel was the first superhuman he’s ever met and nobody even knew till he gave her a call 23 years later. I feel like Nick Fury probably knows about Mutants only because he discovered one particular Mutant, Wolverine. Maybe after the events with Captain Marvel, Nick Fury went with his Avengers Initiative and went out looking for other superhumans, he probably didn’t have luck until he finally heard news about a man in Canada who got into a fight and beat up a bunch of men who shot him and he attacked them with claws that popped out of his hands. Nick went to go investigate this man and discovered his superhuman nature to be true and he offered him a role on the Avengers, however he turned it down. He probably asked him a bunch of times to join the Avengers and Logan probably said no every single time.
I’m still trying to think of a theory with Weapon X but what do you guys think of this theory.
