faunus are absolutely NOTHING like mutants Not like those mutants.

Mutations are when an individual, often in response to a specific agent, undergoes spontaneous, quick, possibly radical changes to their genes, effectively gaining whole new traits it's species didn't have before, or having some of their traits replaced by others.

If the new traits of the resulting mutant are negative to their survival, the mutants die thanks to Darwin's Law. But if the traits are positive to their survival, they are passed on to the next generation, eventually forming a new species.

So...yeah, the Faunus are mutants. Just not Marvel Mutants.
