Comic book lovers and Marvel movie fans surely familiar with a group of mutants called X-Men. Even though once serves as the most undemanded series on Marvel, but now X-Men turns out to be one of the best selling series.

X-Men itself mostly takes place during the modern era with a story that is often crossing with other Marvel superheroes. But, the existence of these mutants turns out to have existed since ancient times. Few of them are considered as a god by people at that time. Take a look at these ten oldest mutants in the Marvel universe.

10. Destiny

Real name Irene Adler, this mutant in the comics is a best friend of shapeshifting mutant, Mystique. Irene is a mutant who was born in the 1900s and has the power to see the future, even though this mutant cannot avoid death.

Destiny also a stepmother of X-Men member, Rogue. Even though in the comics she’s already dead, but Irene still has a role by giving a book about future prophecies.

9. Mystique

This mutant is the most recognizable character in the X-Men series due to her unique appearance (blue skin and red hair). Real named Raven Darkholme and born at the same time as Destiny at the beginning of the 1900s. She has the power to shapeshift her body shape, voice mimicry, and overall physical shapeshifting to her liking.

This character turns out to have two children, Graydon Creed (her son with Sabretooth) and Nightcrawler (her son with Azazel). Even though he has mutant parents, turns out Graydon is an average human.

In the movies, Raven is told to have the same age as Professor X, but in the comics, she was born far earlier than Charles Xavier.

8. Sabretooth

The beginning of his birth of this mutant named Victor Creed cannot be explained clearly. Nevertheless, this mutant who has a power like a vicious animal has committed murder since 1912. If predicted roughly, then Sabertooth was born at the end of the 19th century or the end of the 1800s.

In the movies, Sabretooth is depicted as the older brother of Wolverine, but in the comics, both don’t have any blood relation whatsoever.

7. Wolverine

Even though known widely as Logan, he was born as James Howlett. Wolverine is one of many mutants with the highest regeneration power even compared to other superheroes in the Marvel universe.

His powers turn out to make him doesn’t age. In one of the widescreen movies, Wolverine meets the young Charles Xavier. During their encounter, Wolverine’s appearance is still the same as his appearance in the later years.

Wolverine, who was born at the end of the 19th century or around 1882 to 1885, has participated in almost massive scaled wars that occurred at that time.

6. Jonas Graymalkin

Jonas is a character who was born before the American Revolution. Jonas was born at the beginning of the 19th century or 1800s. Jonas’ power is yet to awaken until he’s 16 years old; when Jonas realized his sexual orientation is different than others. Jonas' father, who is very religious, was furious after knowing it and punching Jonas until he’s dying and then bury him.

When buried alive, Jonas’ powers awaken. He can surpass normal humans and eternity that makes him unkillable. Unfortunately, that power can be used when he’s awake from his slumber 200 years later.

The grave location, unbeknownst to everyone, becomes the land where the school for gifted students builds by Professor X. After all this time, Charles Xavier doesn’t know if there’s a mutant buried underneath his building. Jonas was found when Sentinel bombed the headquarter.

5. Exodus

Exodus, real named Bennet du Paris. In the beginning, this medieval knight doesn’t realize his mutant potentials inside him. The mutation later comes out when triggered by Apocalypse’s appearance.

Apocalypse wants to make Bennet his servant. But he makes a mistake and makes Exodus trapped in a parallel time dimension. Years later, Magneto becomes the one that saved him.

He later becomes the most powerful mutant with various astonishing abilities like an eternity and resurrecting a deceased person.

4. Crule

This mutant is a member of a rare eternal mutant and named External. Crule was born in the first century (before year 100) up to the 4th century (year 300s).

Crule’s vicious appearance is making him as the craziest and meanest mutant among ancient warriors. Even though at that time, the continent has yet to have a name, but Crule was considered originated from north Africa.

3. Apocalypse

Even though called (in the movie) recognized as the first mutant, it turns out Apocalypse is not the oldest in this list. Apocalypse is a mutant who was born in 3000 years Before Christ (BC).

The power of this mutant called En Sabah Nur is unparalleled. The amount of superpowers that Apocalypse has is insurmountable. He even can give powers or increasing other mutant’s power.

In one of the comics, Apocalypse managed to rule the world; due to a mistake made by Legion, the son of Professor X who time-traveled to the past and wanted to kill Magneto. Unfortunately, Legion instead murdered his father and make Apocalypse rule the world in the future.

2. Saul

This mutant has a real name called Garbha-Hsien. Similar to Crule, he is a member of the eternal mutant named External. In a group filled with ancient mutants, Saul even considered the oldest.

Saul has the power to live eternally and various magical powers, including teleportation. It’s unclear when this mutant was born, but he admitted that he already existed before Apocalypse. Even when the continent is yet to scatter, Saul is already old.

1. Seleene

This character, named Seleene Gallio, is a mutant with a power akin to a vampire. He is also a nemesis of Kulan Gath, a magician who lives at the same age as Conan the Barbarian.
