This would avail set Marvel ’s version apart , and also instal that mutants are a wide - ranging class of people , not just the same ten or so heroes and villains .

Marvel has also control massive winner from focus on antecedently vague characters . Perhaps the best example of this is Rocket Raccoon , who went from a recess figure to a home name . The MCU X - Men projects could easily do the same for some of its lesser - know heroes , like Jubilee , and give them a chance to become breakout hits .
