This here is about them Marvel comics, you know, them superhero fellas. And some of ’em, they called mutants. Yeah, that’s the word, mutants. Like, different, you see? Got some special somethin’ about ’em.
Mutants in Marvel Comics
Now, I heard tell there’s this fella, name of, uh, Charles Xavier. He’s one of them mutants, too. And he’s got this school, or somethin’, where he keeps all them other mutants. Keepin’ ’em safe, I reckon. From what, I don’t rightly know. Maybe from folks who don’t like them being different.

They say these Marvel Comics mutants, they got all sorts of powers. Some can fly, some can shoot fire from their hands. Lordy, I can’t even imagine. I just want to sit here and crochet. And some of the mutant folks are strong. I heard people call them X-Men. I don’t know. Sounds strange to me.
What’s This NYT Thing?
Then there’s this thing, the NYT. Sounds like some fancy acronym. I think it stands for that newspaper, New York Times. They like to talk about these Marvel Comics mutants in there. Sometimes they do crossword puzzles, that people like to play. I tried one once, but I couldn’t get more than a word or two. Too many big words for me. But I guess it’s fun for those who like it.
So, yeah, they got these crossword things, and sometimes the answer is somethin’ about them mutants. Four letters, I think I heard someone say. I don’t know. Why they like them so much, I don’t know either.
What’s so special about mutants?
I heard from some folks that they made a comic, X-Men #1. They say it’s the best-selling one. Well, I don’t know. I think I only read comics when I was young. It was different back then. I did like them though, when I was a little girl.
And they say there are people who are born with a special gene, this X-Gene. Sounds like some science stuff. I don’t understand much about that. That’s what makes them mutants, I suppose. Like Spider-Man and Hulk. I saw them on TV once. They are strong. Maybe they are mutants, too.

More Mutant Stuff
There was this other thing I heard about, called NYX. Sounds like a fancy name for a group of them mutant folks. They go around, seein’ the sights, I guess. And they got a friend, Alison Blaire. Sounds like a nice girl. Don’t know what she does, though.
One of them superhero fellas, name is Charles Xavier. He’s one of them mutants, too, I hear tell. But he got into some kinda trouble, did somethin’ bad, they say. Now he’s locked up, in some kinda special jail for mutants. Imagine that! His own school, turned into a jail. Tsk tsk.
- Mutants, they’re different.
- They got powers.
- NYT talks about ’em.
- Crossword puzzles.
- X-Men, X-Gene, all that stuff.
Well, that’s all I know about them Marvel Comics mutant NYT things. It’s all a bit much for me, if you ask me. But I guess some folks like it. Keeps ’em entertained, I suppose. Me, I’m gonna go back to my crochet. That’s enough excitement for one day. This old lady’s gettin’ tired just thinkin’ about it all.
They got all the news about them mutants on that Marvel website, I reckon. If you’re interested in that sort of thing. Me, I prefer the quiet life. No superheroes, no mutants, just me and my yarn.
This is what I heard from people around here. I am just an old lady. But I think I remember everything correct. Hope this will help people understand about them Marvel Comics mutants.
