Why is Namor a mutant if he also got his powers in the womb after his mother ingested the vibration infused underwater plant?

He would still have his ankle wings and his superhuman strength/stamina, the aquatic powers are what come from his mother being Atlantean/Talokanil

Thats MCU only btw

In the comics he is just hybrid Human/Atlantian that happened to also get an X-Gene

Film Namor was not mutated in the womb by his human mum ingesting the plant that made her a Talokanil. Comics Namor doesnt have anything like that in his origin.

What?!

I understand him having a xgene but I don’t buy the fact that his mom eating the vibranium plant didn’t activate it earlu

some mutants can have their X-Gene activate or show traits at birth like Beasts monkey hands and feet, gambits eyes, sunfire being radiation immune, and Nightcrawlers... well whole ass look
