no they are not, Mutates are science fiction monsters - superpowered beings are what mutants have been called ever since the X-Men franchise and most mutants have superhuman abilities and no real origin other than "born with powers".

it's really simple if people just read the description.

"Mutated" = gain superpowers via radiation, mad science, cosmic rays etc

"Mutant" = born with superpowers that are not part of their standard species norm
