That's actually a dope idea
Maybe you could have a story where humans start getting more fascinated with mutants and develop technology to get mutant powers themselves. The media and press pass it off as if mutants and humans are living in true equality. But you would still have sentinels patrolling and laws getting passed that affect the original mutants who were BORN that way and not the humans turned mutants. The humans turned mutants could form their own little supervillain faction enforcing-ish policies against natural born mutants.
Magneto would be heated, he would go and try to destroy that technology the moment he first heard of it.
I could see Cyclops calling the humans turned mutants out--like our mutant struggle means nothing to you until you want reinforcements to fight YOUR battles.
Wolverine would be disgusted, like being a mutant isn't a game or a fashion trend, it's real out here for mutants.
Maybe Storm would be conflicted because of her powers and link with nature. You can't synthesize that in a lab. Meanwhile, Nightcrawler would be thinking of how best to address the whole situation in a Godly way. Rogue (due to her inability to touch anyone) would be out here like "now everyone wants to be a mutant, but nobody REALLY wants to be a mutant".
Professor X might argue that this whole situation is a mockery of his dream. That we all need to live up to our responsibility to embrace who we ARE while caring for others as we would ourselves instead envying one another and co-opting each other's identities.
Society would mistakenly think that everything is cool since the faux mutants are being treated well, ignorant to the sentinel patrols and unjust laws becoming a reality.
That storyline could open a really dope philosophical debate actually
When would you say was the last truly dope X-men storyline (in the 616 universe)?
EXACTLY, but it’s too easy to pander.
