Was Katie a Mutant?
 

She had super strength. Wouldn't that be a mutation?

Re: Was Katie a Mutant?
 

I think that was just her genetic trait givening to her by her parent's choice.

Re: Was Katie a Mutant?
 

Mutants don't seem to usually be humaniod in appearance.

Re: Was Katie a Mutant?
 

I think she was human. Its surprising the others didn't have special powers. Besides Trip because he was alien.

Re: Was Katie a Mutant?
 

Ransik and Nadiera were human looking for the most part. So that doesn't disqualify Katie.

Re: Was Katie a Mutant?
 

Its likely they were some kind of hybrid. Katie could have had some mutant DNA. As we didn't see anyone else in the future with those kind of abilities.

Re: Was Katie a Mutant?
 

I think she was human. We just didn't happen to see superhuman genetic modifcation from anyone else. But thats not a surprise, we didn't see a lot of nonmutants outside of the Rangers.

Re: Was Katie a Mutant?
 

Its weird that they gave her the only special power among the human Rangers.

Re: Was Katie a Mutant?
 

I wouldn't think mutant like powers would be a popular thing, given. the fear of mutants.

Re: Was Katie a Mutant?
 

Its likely that the mutations were created by an attempt to mix alien DNA with humanity. Katie was one of the successful experiments. Whereas the mutants were the accidents..Ransik and Nadiera were later generations that appeared more human like yet flawed in the eyes of Millennium City. Most of the generic experments were then discontinued.

Re: Was Katie a Mutant?
 

The apocalypse did something to the gene pool and made conventional reproduction uneffective. Thats what led to the experiments in DNA.

Re: Was Katie a Mutant?
 

It is odd because super stength seems like a mutant ability.

Re: Was Katie a Mutant?
 

Not necessarily, in marvel comics there are super humans and mutants. That could be the case here.

Re: Was Katie a Mutant?
 

I think she was a human. The only non human was Trip.

Re: Was Katie a Mutant?
 

That would make sense. There had to be a reason for the experiments.

Re: Was Katie a Mutant?
 

It is odd that they never addressed this question. But its something else interesting to debate. I woukd say that she is a human with super human like strength.

Re: Was Katie a Mutant?
 

It would have been cool to see Katie be a sleeper agent for Ransik. Who only looked human because of some special medicine..

Re: Was Katie a Mutant?
 

That would be a pretty cool idea.

Re: Was Katie a Mutant?
 

I think she was a mutant. Her mutation just wasn't as dominate as others.

Re: Was Katie a Mutant?
 

I think everyone in the year 3,000 was a mutant regardless of how noticeable it was all because they were created rather than born since remember none of them could get sick and they all had an immunity to most diseases.

Re: Was Katie a Mutant?
 

Thats a good point. It makes it ironic that some people in the future were prejudice towards mutants. Since they would be mutants themselves in your theory.

Re: Was Katie a Mutant?
 

It is pretty ironic. Matt is right though, everyone in the future is a mutant. The old human race is essentially extinct.

Re: Was Katie a Mutant?
 

She was likely a mutant. Superhuman strength doesn't seem like a normal human trait, even for people in the future.
