Universes Beyond

External franchise There are more wonders in this universe than you could ever have dreamt of.
|
Gamma is a Marvel Universes Beyond crossover type. In the Marvel Universe, Mutants are born with the X-Gene, a genetic trait causing powers to manifest naturally (e.g., X-Men), while Mutates are humans who gain powers from external sources like radiation, chemicals, or experiments.
In the comics and other works based on them, Gamma mutates are beings mutated by gamma radiation. The first of these to be created was Bruce Banner, the Incredible Hulk, and many gamma mutates have similar superhuman powers to the Hulk; indeed, many have an origin directly tied to the Hulk, such as Jennifer Walters, She-Hulk, who gained her powers from a transfusion of the Hulk's blood. These powers include a transformation triggered by emotional agitation, superhuman strength, and a powerful healing factor, but can also bring on uncontrollable rage.
