X-men, Genetics, & Playing god

You may have noticed that I haven't been posting as much as I used to be lately.
It's because I've had my head in X-men comics nearly 24/7 for the past month or so.

I have no idea why I never decided to pick up their comics until now. But I needed something to do in the holidays, & so I started reading them, from the very first issue that came out around 50 years ago.
