<b>Did Spider-Man Accidentally Create Mutant Inhibitors?</b><br><br> While we’re talking X-Men, there’s a very big plot point that could potentially be used in the upcoming X-Men reboot movie from Brand New Day: Mutant Inhibitors. Spider-Man spends most of the movie wrestling with his surging arachnid DNA, and how to suppress it. Thanks to some coaching by Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo), aka the Hulk, he hits on the idea of an inhibitor chip, which he successfully uses on himself – as well as to suppress Jean’s telepathic powers entirely.<br><br> However, both Bruce and MJ (Zendaya) warn him that this technology is extremely dangerous, and potentially suppressing something that needs to be expressed. MJ is more concerned about Peter; but Bruce’s warning is about the ramifications of unleashing technology that can suppress any powers in a world already on edge about the idea of super-powered individuals.<br><br> While there have been plenty of riffs about this type of technology throughout the decades, it’s impossible to hear this in a movie that brings mutants into the MCU (ignoring the events of Ms. Marvel and The Marvels, as well as Avengers: Doomsday for the moment) without thinking Spider-Man’s tech, which ends up in the hands of Damage Control, could be used on the burgeoning mutant menace.<br><br> Normally in the Marvel Comics it takes the form of Inhibitor Collars, placed around a mutant’s neck. Here, it’s a chip, though Damage Control needs to keep it connected to a power source to keep it going. Point being, there’s probably some refinement there before it pops up in an X-Men movie... But yes, very likely Peter Parker is responsible for something that will become a bane to mutant-kind.
