    Is the Incredible Hulk considered a mutant?  He was exposed to gamma radiation and when he gets angry he basically mutates into the hulk. What do you think:

    I'm not an expert on the Hulk, but I don't believe that he or any of the other Gammas are considered to be mutants.  More like mutates.  Like Spider-Man, or the Fantastic Four.

    The Hulk is a mutate.
    To be a mutant you need to be born with the X-Gene.

    That's right.  Hulk doesn't have the extra X chromosome, so he's not a mutant.  He was mutated by the gamma, but that's not the same thing.
