With Simon Williams, also known as Wonder Man, already displaying powers in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, fans are wondering if he’s a mutant. His comic book backstory is quite different: he was a businessman who lost his company to Tony Stark and gained powers through experiments as part of a revenge plot against the Avengers. He later became a hero and eventually died, only to be resurrected and become a Hollywood actor and stuntman. The MCU seems to be streamlining his story, focusing only on the actor aspect. However, if Simon is a mutant, it could be a subtle clue that the X-Men are coming to the MCU. We’ll get definitive answers when Wonder Man premieres on Disney+ on January 27th.
