But she's from the hyborian age, which is like 14000-1000 BC

Actually first (in Conan) she was a sorceress. I'm not sure we've ever seen anything that said she had to be anything else.

hell, I'd be surprised if the Daily Bugle even knew that

I suspect the real reason it has "the first mutant" on the cover is because they want X-Men fans to buy it :-D

Sinister is from sometime in the 1800's

Doctor Nemesis was born between 1900-1910

Sinister is not a mutant

...

Namor is more than just a hybrid. No part of being 1/2 human and 1/2 Atlantinian should give him wings on his ankles, nor let him fly. Also if he were just a hybrid his strength should be between human level and Atlantinian, and not four or five times a typical Atlantinian.

Namor is a hybrid and a mutant.

In X-Men #6 (July 1964), X-Men leader Professor Xavier and antagonist Magneto each suspect Namor is a mutant. Later writers in the 1960s and 1970s described him as a hybrid, not a mutant, in order to distinguish him from the mutant X-Men.[24] When the series was revived in 1990, the series title logo carried the subtitle "Marvel's first and mightiest mutant!"

Namor is actually a hybrid of Atlantean and Human physiology, although he has principal characteristics that neither Atlanteans (Homo mermanus) nor Humans (Homo sapiens) possess. These include his ability to fly, his strength (which is several times that of an Atlantean), and other seldom seen (since the early 1960s) abilities including electricity generation, radar sense, and telepathic rapport with marine life.

In the first issue of the five part Illuminati miniseries, after being experimented on by the Skrulls, it was confirmed that Namor is not only an Atlantean/human hybrid but also a mutant.

They don't have Wikipedia in the Marvel Universe? :shock:

Good point. Although, I don't know who would update Apocalypse's page with his biographical information. Maybe Gambit when he's in his evil gas fart Horseman mode?
