I’m not well versed either but mutants have the X gene while powered humans in general wouldn’t. Remember it’s marvel so there’s Spiderman, ironman, Hawkeye for examples of heros stronger than your average human who don’t have the X gene. Interestingly enough mutants are always seen as lesser while non mutant heros are usually celebrated (unless it’s one of the grim dark comics).
Yea they all belong together and have plenty of comics where they interact, funnily enough it’s real world BS that kept them separate for the longest. Iirc fox owned the right to use xmen in media while a couple other companies owned the rights of various other heroes and mutants and marvel stuff.
It’s all sorta consolidated now with Disney and Sony has been playing niceish with Spiderman for a couple years now too.

ah okay, i didn’t realize that marvel and x-men shared a universe, i thought marvel and x-men were mutually exclusive
