This is a prime example of how important and sensitive the study of genetics is. Wolverine is able to regenerate at an alarmingly  rapid rate, Professor-X can read minds, and magneto controls anything magnetic, all due to a mutation of a DNA sequence which then allowed for a new type of protein to produce.]]> 2020-07-15 16:06:20 UTC https://padlet.com/gbore004/cp8pa71wxcqrkkwu/wish/655242310 gbore004 https://padlet.com/gbore004/cp8pa71wxcqrkkwu/wish/655246265 According to the film, "The Allegory of X-Men", Stan Lee created this new team at around the same time as the youth protests were being led.
