Bad Science: X-Men

The X-men franchise could have concocted any other reasoning as to why these characters have superpowers, and it would probably be more believable than calling it “evolution”.
No random gene mutations exist that could accelerate at the pace needed to produce any X-men character in the time frame they present. Even if you subscribe to the theory of Punctuated equilibrium -rapid (on a geologic time scale) events of genetic branching out- you’re not likely to end up gaining awesome super powers, or looking anything like Wolverine.
