[Marvel] Why does the general population treat mutants with such distrust but not other superpowered individuals?

For instance, it seems likely that when Spider-Man first came on the scene, people would have assumed he was a mutant, but this doesn't seem to be the case. What's different about mutants that makes people wary of them?

Because Mutants are not "human". They have evolved and are for the most part more advanced than humans. So the rest of humanity feel threatened or jealous. They are scared that Mutants are the future and non-mutants will die out. 

They don't feel this way with superpowered heroes like Spider-man because they are essentially humans that gained their power through some external means and not through evolution/genes.
