The funniest part is that Stan Lee created the x-men specifically because he was tired of having to come up with dumb origin stories. Basically went "fuck it, they are mutants, mutated by radiation or something, who gives a shit".

Now we have canonical genocides.

"No more origin stories!" proceeds to create the most backstory riddled franchise in comics...
