Cross-breeding[]

Homo superior have been shown to successfully crossbreed with several other "human" species (Humans (Homo sapiens), Inhumans, Atlanteans, etc.), gods (Asgardians), and other humanoid aliens (Shi'ar, Dire Wraiths, etc.).

Also, the product of breeding of mutates may result in mutant offspring more often than with regular humans,[1] as with the Fantastic Four's children (Franklin and Torus Storm), or Kara Killgrave, who developed mutant abilities similar to her father's.

Cross-breeding with Humanity Subspecies[]

Atlanteans[]

The averred cross-breeding between mutants and Atlanteans are unknown, but it is known that the breeding of humans and Atlanteans happened to generate mutant hybrids with features beyond the standard of their source-species respective super-beings individuals, the most known example being Namor.

It was hinted by Steve Rogers that the hybrid combination of human and Atlantean led to the power set, immense strength and winged ankles among others, shared by Namora and Namor.[2]

Those mutant hybrids have proved (for now) to be fertile for the males (Namor with Atlanteans, human mutates and Plodex) and infertile for the females (Namora with an Atlantean).[3]

Deviants[]

The hybrids bioengineered from Deviants and mutant genetics were proven to be genetically unstable and died at young ages. No natural hybrids have been seen so far.

Humans (Homo sapiens)[]

Breeding between Homo superior and Humans (Homo sapiens) can result in both mutants and "flat-scans" children, as shown with Wolverine's children: Daken and the Mongrels. Of those six known children, only two (Daken and Cannon Foot) were active mutants (with feral mutations).

Those aren't really hybrids, as mutants and humans aren't really separate species or race, but are only humans possessing or not the X-Gene. Wakandan scientists even stated that there has never been a proven case of genetic incompatibility, but have also stated that every mutation was different and some effects could perturb the reproduction process.[4] They are consequently fertile.[5]

Inhuman[]

The union of a mutant and an Inhuman was believed to result in the supposed cancelling of the genetic markers denoting these subgroups in humanity, leaving a normal human. The only example of this was the daughter of the long-time supposed mutant Quicksilver and Inhuman royal Crystal, Luna Maximoff.[6][7] However, with the revelation that Quicksilver has always been a mutate simply disguised as a mutant,[8] this belief has been thrown into doubt.

There is also the problem of mixing mutant and Inhuman DNA. Mister Sinister learned from his experiments in attempting to create a mutant/Inhuman hybrid that mixing the genetics of the two species caused the Inhuman DNA to overpower the mutant DNA, creating genetic instability and eventually death.[9]

There are examples of mutant/Inhuman hybrids that have survived and even thrived like Talogan of Earth-691 and alternate reality versions of Luna Maximoff, but that can be explained away by the fact that mutant biology can vary from reality to reality.

It is unknown if these hybrids are fertile.

Crossbreeding with Extradimensional Beings[]

Asgardians[]

A few Asgardian/Mutant hybrids have been so far, born from both female mutant/male Asgardian couplings and the inverse.

During Rahne Sinclair's pregnancy, the Asgardian hybrid proved to be dangerous for a mutant mother, as he was draining her energy.[10] Except for this case, no reproductive barrier seems to exist between the two species.

The existence of such hybrids raises doubts if Asgardians have an ancestry in common with humans (this includes mutants). The origins of the Asgardians are very nebulous, making it difficult to separate myth from reality, and Asgard is a small pocket-dimension adjacent to Earth (the latter referred to by them as Midgard). There are currently no answers to such scientific questions in the Marvel Universe.

Fairies[]

A few cases of breeding between fairies and mutants or humans have been recorded or supposed.

Cross-breeding with Aliens[]

The breeding with alien results often in mutant offspring, one example being Torus Storm.

Dire Wraiths[]

James Marks is the only known Dire Wraith/human hybrid, and also a functional mutant with telekinetic and telepathic abilities. He threatened to force more Wraiths and humans to mate with each other to create more like him and tried to subjugate Kitty Pryde to make her part of that plan, but he was stopped thanks to the combined efforts of Rom and the X-Men.[11]

It is unknown whether his mutation is hereditary or arose as a side effect of his mixed-species status.

Kree[]

The Sentinel announcing her mutation to Suzy Sherman

The only possible known mutant-Kree hybrid is Susanna Lauren Sherman, from her Kree name Tsu-Zana. A Sentinel classified her as a "V-Factor" mutant, as a temporary classification, because of her Kree alien DNA.[12]

Her origins are still confused, and not much information exists on the subject.[13]

Shi'ar[]

On many occasions, Shi'ar and Mutants have been able to cross-breed. It is unknown if a reproductive barrier exists, and if those hybrids are fertile.
