nonmutants
Those without alterations
Nonmutants are individuals who lack genetic mutations, used almost exclusively in science fiction and comics where mutants form a distinct population.
In the X-Men universe, nonmutants are ordinary humans without superpowers: The senator argued that nonmutants needed protection from mutant threats.
The term defines people by what they lack rather than what they possess.
