[X-Men] Why is the X-gene responsible for so many wildly different powers?
gpt
I don't believe this is ever explored in a canon way, but there is a fan theory that explains this. It says that the X gene really gives everyone the same power - reality warping. Its how this reality warping *manifests* that gives them their power. Wolverine subconsciously warps reality so that he regenerates, Storm warps it to create weather, etc.
