antimutant
Opposing genetic variants
Antimutant describes opposition or hostility toward mutants—typically in science fiction contexts where mutants are individuals with genetic mutations conferring unusual abilities.
The term appears frequently in X-Men comics and related media, describing prejudice against mutant characters: antimutant legislation, antimutant sentiment.
It functions like other "anti-group" formations (antisemitic, antigovernment), marking bias or organized opposition.
