X-Men 97: what are the Children of the Atom
The term Children of the Atom comes first from the comics., which is where the X-Men were born. At the time, Jack Kirby and Stan Lee, who gave life to the mutants, saw that many heroes had obtained their powers from radiation: Hulk with gamma rays, Spider-Man with a radioactive spider.
What those who were Marvel's most prominent creatives propose is that mutants come from mutations generated by excess radiation during the Cold War and that created the term Children of the Atom. But, as we already mentioned, this definition has been adjusted.
