I crammed a lot into the fifth panel, but it’s not a new idea.

I remember reading similar speculation about the X-Men comic’s Nightcrawler. Folks pointed out that Nightcrawler could not be a first-generation mutant, because of his multiple mutant traits. What are the odds of two normal parents having a child with:

• unusual coloration (blue skin and yellow eyes)
• deformed hands and feet
• teleportation
• prehensile tail
• the ability to stick to any surface like a gecko

A child could be born with one of those amazing traits, but the chances of landing all of those amazing traits in one mutation would be slim. So, the X-Men comics hinted early on that Nightcrawler had at least one mutant parent, possibly the blue-skinned Mystique.
