She's a fairy. She has fairy wings, her powers are magical like her mother's......I think if they really wanted her to be a mutant, they should've made her mother a human woman. I don't care that her dad is Mastermind and that her hallucinatory dust is an allusion to his illusion casting. It's fairy dust and nothing will convince me that she's a mutant.
Pixie
Character » Pixie appears in 1751 issues.
Pixie is a fairy-winged mutant who can cause those exposed to her dust to experience hallucinations. Her powers also includes teleportation. A former X-Men student, she is now part of the Legion of X.
Not a mutant.
She is a Mutant but her Mother Is a Fairy Her father Is Matermind that is where she gets her illusion powers "Pixie Dust" from
Her Mother is what gives her latent Magical abiltiy But Illyana took a piece of her soul which allowed her to use Dark magic as well Her Wings im not sure about Them Her Mother hasn't Got wings so they may very well be another Mutant power of hers
So she is Half Mutant Half Fairy Cerebra/Cerebro identified her as a Mutant so she is one
Btw Just because she has Fairy wings doesn't Make her a Fairy
Angel has Angelic wings does than mean he comes from heaven.........No
NightCrawler Looks like a deamon Does it make him one............No

I'm saying that from my perspective, her powers and her origin weigh so much more heavily on the Faerie side.....that discounting the idea that her wings and dust come from her Faerie heritage rather than her "mutancy" just seems silly to me. Yes, her father is a mutant, but that alone doesn't make her a mutant. To me, she is simply a faerie caught up in the mutant agenda, and that doesn't make her any less interesting as a character.
Not hating, just speculating.

i understand you don't hate her its just something your curious about
From your Perspective i understand that you believe her to be a Fairy from mine i think its both Mutant and Magic involved Marvel has Confermed Her as a Mutant Her so Called "Pixie Dust" i belive is her Fathers powers it just she doesn't have control over them yet maybe she will i don't know he other Powers like i said her mother didnt have wings maybe(Just sprculating) those are a Mutant power of hers the Rest is Magic
but thats your Opinion so im not going to argue with you But in your first post to me you seemed a bit hostle and Thick saying things like "it fairy dust and nothing will conivnce me different" you know
BTW i hate that mightcrawler Story too not there best work
" Something to consider Does she have the X-Gene, then she is a mutant. "I know she's been cataloged as a mutant by Cerebro, Sentinels and the whole lot, i'm just looking at her life story as it's been presented to me. In my opinion, her status as a fairy and the powers she possesses as a mutant are too conveniently/coincidentally aligned.......in short, what's to distinguish her mutant from her fairy powers?

See, I would understand this more if this was about Namor, who deep in my heart i still refuse to beliieve is a mutant, or even Franklin. But Pixie, She was originally a background mutant that was great because she was visually distinct. If not for the Quest for magik arc, she would be dead by now and no one would really care. That Pixie was, well eh. She got high huff her dust and it turns out her mother is a fairie and her father is mastermind. Kinda lame in my book. I think if we consider Namor, a half human and half atlantien a mutant, than the half fairie and half mutant is still a mutant. I think mutant can be used more broadly than you want.
Wait....NIGHTCRALWER'S FATHER IS MEPHISTO?! WHAT THE F-----
Tell me EVERYTHING you know about this and how the hell mephisto got laid.....
:O! So thats why he wanted spiderman and MJ's love! *GASP*!" @Thunderscream: Wait....NIGHTCRALWER'S FATHER IS MEPHISTO?! WHAT THE F----- Tell me EVERYTHING you know about this and how the hell mephisto got laid..... "
....Anywho =p If Cerebro and Sentinels say shes a Mutant....I'm thinking shes a mutant.
Azazel is his pops and claims to be the "Satan" of biblical times. Mephisto isn't actually Satan, he's a Deviant (supposedly) and rules another dimension where he's all powerful. There's also Belasco, who reigns over Limbo, another hellish dimension....and in the Universe X series, he was a further mutated Nightcrawler. I bet that created more confusion rather than clearing anything up. :/" @Thunderscream: Wait....NIGHTCRALWER'S FATHER IS MEPHISTO?! WHAT THE F----- Tell me EVERYTHING you know about this and how the hell mephisto got laid..... "
@Pacperson: They've been wrong before ;P
@jordama: But then that's part of my problem, the scope is too vast. You mentioned Franklin, who's mutancy I also contest, and Namor's another example.....Pixie just seems to be the reverse. She started out a mutant with butterfly wings, which slowly morphed into fairy wings and now some numb-nut writer decided since she's already dabbled in magic to make her a full-fledged fairy when the fact that she was a mutant was explanation enough for her powers and appearance. Like I said, this is just my opinion on the situation and Pixie fans won't agree.
@The Umbra Sorcerer: ok, MAYBE i can accept her as a mutant. i just think the writers could've been a wee bit more creative....maybe giving her abilities that were contrary to her maternal lineage. this thread was a tad instigatory to begin with because i'm hard-headed, but i do like to challenge Marvel's definition of a naturally occurring mutation.
Really, the whole concept of mutants being regarded differently from other supranormal characters in the Marvel Universe, is the main reason I'm not a huge fan of X-stories. Too me the only difference between Luke Cage and Cyclops is that the latter was born with his powers. All that matters is that she has abilities that ordinary human beings don't have.
You would think they would ask Dr Strange for assistance for mutant with magic powers. How many students does Dr strange have any way? This would be good chance for him to have more funding for his school.
Mutant with magic that I know so far include:
Scarlet Witch (obviously)
Spidergirl (is she consider a mutant yet)

I don't think the difference is really the X-Men's fault. It seems to be on the side of the rest of the SuperHero population.

Storm also has Magical Powers(even though there not tapped in to yet)
SpiderGirl isn't a mutant
Wiccan i believe is a Mutant
Storm was a sorceress in a few alternate realities, but i don't believe they've carried that over to 616.

How can spider girl not be a mutant, her father was a mutate. That means she got her powers from birth and therefore she has an X-gene.

Saying that her faerie side overrules her mutant side makes no sense. She can be both. Perhaps her faerie side influenced her mutant genetics to manifest how they did but they are still genetic mutant powers. Namor and Namora are part Atlantean and part human/mutant, they are clearly not purely Atlantean. Lifeguard and Slipstream are part Shi'ar and part human/mutant, her alien nature may have affected her powers granting her wings but its the mutant power that gave her the wings.

This also makes me wonder if one could be half-Angel and from the human side get the X-Gene
" @The Umbra Sorcerer: The idea the X-Gene is carry in the human genome mean that any being that were to reproduce with a human could possibly carry an X-Gene granting it an alternative source of power including the one it original possess. If so Pexie is in such a way, both magic by birth and mutant which is by genetic the human-side "We already established that She is both Magic(her mother) and Mutant(her father) a like a page back.

http://www.comicvine.com/neyaphem/65-45565/
Angel's sub-species were called the cheyarafim, but there's so little information about them even their comicvine article appears to have been deleted.
I get OP's point though, which of her powers is her mutant power? The pixie dust? She is a faerie, that is why she has the wings and the ears and pink hair and such. The teleportation is a magical spell. The soul dagger was also created through magic. What is her mutant power, exactly?
With Namor, it's more obvious. It's the wings on his ankles. Namora and Namorita have them, but they're related to him. The other Atlanteans don't have them. That's his mutation, flight.
