Cyclops did?

Anyway, basically, Cyclops has the x-gene (whether it was implanted or natural) whereas Spiderman was exposed to radiation.

Was Cyclops not born with his mutation?

That's the distinction. Spider-Man isn't a mutant but rather a "mutate" because he wasn't born with his abilities and didn't develop them naturally.

Anyone remember the 90s cartoon where they discussed this? They treated Spider-Man like he was in the closet about who he was.

I don't understand how Spider-Man is not a mutant, either. Like, his powers aren't natural; the spider bite caused him to mutate, developing powers.

So why do sunglasses stop the punch beams?

Again, Mutant is specifically anyone with the X-gene, IIRC. His power isn't from the X-gene.

I don't know about the portal dimension thing (it sounds stupid, but comics are insane, so ...), but the sunglasses are actually specifically made to refract the beams. They are made out of a special material (thus why they are always red).

Mutants have the x-gene

That's all there is too it

Yeah, well maybe don't ask questions about comic characters if you don't want in-universe comic shit.
