OK, so there is a very real possibility that Marvel comics will be removing what we have come to know and love as Mutants. A few months ago there was a rumor going around about this news but majority of the x-men fans shrugged it off saying "Why would they remove their cash cow?" well is it getting too real now mutant fans?
Don't get too discouraged though, because they won't be removing the characters that were mutants, Marvel is only supposedly going to relaunch them as something else. For the most part, we won't know the full details or if this is 100% true, because the people who interviewed the Marvel editorial team were asked to keep the full retailer questions confidential.
If you are an avid comic book reader you would probably have an idea or two on what Marvel is planning on calling these Mutants. The three most common theories that come up in conversations are
Inhumans,
Miracles and
Gifted.
Some of you are probably wondering what those three are. Well for starters Inhumans have their own comic. They are basically like Mutants but are fundamentally different, like the way Inhumans gain their powers differ from how mutants do, for more info

For the "Miracles" theory I read somewhere that Marvel might make a
Miracleman and the uncanny miracles" comic of some sort or maybe it's because of the Marvel Cinematic Universe tie-ins in comics they refer to humans with superpowers as "miracles". For more info on Miracleman

Lastly for the "Gifted" theory it's because in the recent Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. they refer to humans with superpowers as "Gifted".
These are just theories and nothing more for now. Credit to comicbook.com for the pictures.
