mutantkind
Genetically altered humanity
Mutantkind refers collectively to mutants as a group or species, parallel to how mankind or humankind refers to humans.
The term comes from X-Men comics and related media, where mutants are humans born with genetic mutations granting superhuman abilities: The future of mutantkind depends on Professor Xavier's dream of coexistence.
It frames mutants as a distinct population with shared identity and interests.
