So I am now, more convinced than ever, (especially with "Extraordinary X-Men") that my thought process (almost a year ago to the day!) is still correct.
Marvel is going to be doing away with Mutants and probably making them "Inhumans" or an off shoot of Inhumans.

I posted about this idea when I learned what the core concept of Extraordinary X-Men was about:

Surely that would have to effect every single mutant though? The gene wouldn't be able to pick and choose which mutants are and aren't Inhuman?
Well, my thinking is "mutants" are an offshoot of the Inhumans. Like they have a "tainted" version of the Inhuman gene. Sort of like pure-breds and what not. You can have a pure breed horse (read pure blood Inhuman), and have that horse breed with a donkey (read human) and come out with a mule (read mutant). It has the horse's gene (Inhuman), but isn't a pure Inhuman.
This way, Marvel can say, "The Marvel Universe doesn't have mutants. They're an off shoot of Inhumans. Screw you FOX Studios!"
