>“Here's a really important thing that people do not know – when we were thinking about the character of Kamala back, back, back in the day in 2012, 2013, when [G.] Willow [Wilson, comic book writer] and myself were ideating, we originally wanted to make her a mutant. That was the whole intention, to be able to do that.”
Kamala would've gotten cancelled after the first arc and shoved into the background of an X Men book if she were originally supposed to be a mutant
Brayden Diaz
Sana Amanat wasn't even an X-Men editor lmao
Brody Carter
I mean she was part of the nuhumans wave when xmen were being relegated to nowhereland thanks to no movie potential. She was probably pitched as a mutant at some point and then told to do an inhuman and after Wilson asked what inhumans were she said whatever and swapped.
Dylan Cook
Suuuuuuure
Samuel Rivera
That doesn't mean anything.
Jace Parker
You can still create mutant characters even if you're not working on an X-Book you know
Nolan Hill
It means there's no way she would pitch her as a mutant, doing so will only give her less control of the character. FF has to retcon Franklin to not being a mutant to get rid of x-office's control

This week keeps on giving, and there is still friday, saturday and sunday. Do I dare to live long enough to see what more happens? Continued in next issue!
Jose Moore
I feel like it's bullshit. Unless they have some sort of proof. Sure, there was an inhumans push to make everything inhuman, but if not for the push, I guess that Kamala would had been some kree-hybrid, or something similar. I doubt she was created as a mutie
Benjamin Brooks
Bruh you don't actually think she was successful just because she was an inhuman right
Henry Parker
That's a bullshit reasoning that was proven wrong again and again. But please, go on and tell me how x-office controlled franklin over the last 50 years
Parker Harris
>It means there's no way she would pitch her as a mutant That's funny because I can't think of an easier way to pitch a new Marvel character.

Anyway, it seems like retconning kamala is more or less confirmed. Kinda funny how I joked years ago that pic rel would happen, and the amount of seethe from kamalafags was unbelievable. They were so sure, that it would never ever happen not in million years. As a matter of fact, I will check the archives to find some of the reactions back then
They pushed her then and even now because she was an inhuman. Otherwise she’d easily just get overshadowed and thrown into the back seat with the rest. Hell it happened even with the push.
