[Marvel] Mutants are discriminated against but mutates aren't. How does the average bigot even tell the difference?

It's pretty easy: mutants are the dangerous ones, and mutates are the heroic ones. At least, that's how a bigot would parse it.

Guys who dress up like the American flag, or ninjas that can hear your heartbeat from across the city? Those are the good guys, so they're obviously mutates. Terrorists who throw around the Brooklyn Bridge using their magnetic magic? Bad guys, and obviously mutants.

Of course the X-Men make a really big point about being mutants, which makes them de facto dangerous in a lot of people's minds. Spider-Man also probably has a number of people who think he's a mutant, jut because of the bad press he gets in the *Daily Bugle*.
