population of their powers, thereby reducing a society of millions to one of scant hundreds.
This event, which occurred on November 2 according to X-Men (vol. 2) #191, is known as "M-Day" in the
"Decimation" began with the self-titled one-shot Decimation: House of M: The Day After, and heralded the relaunch of the Excalibur team in
from the MadroX miniseries. It also includes several mini-series—
focusing on other depowered characters, Sentinel Squad O*N*E showing the latest iteration of the mutant-hunting Sentinels to be robots piloted by humans,
—and continues throughout the Marvel Universe, particularly in the X-Men-related titles. One consequence is an upswing of anti-mutant sentiment, especially among certain religious groups, who consider M-Day to be God's judgment against mutant kind.
It has been confirmed through various sources that there are considerably more than 198 mutants remaining—the number has been referred to as "symbolic" rather than actual, and in The 198 Files is said to be the earliest confirmed number. Numbers for pre-Decimation mutants vary from "over a million" (House of M #8) to 14 million (New X-Men #115, where it is said that the 16 million mutants who died on
was around "over half" of the estimated global mutant population of 30 million mutants), giving a population, if the commonly used 90% depowered figure is true, of between one hundred thousand and one and a half million. Based on the mathematical comparisons of the oft-repeated 198 and several million, Marvel reevaluated the 90% figure into "Over 99%", as shown in Civil War: Battle Damage Report when
note shortly after the event that it is impossible for the energy that certain mutants controlled to simply have vanished, and that it must have been "sent" somewhere. As would later be revealed in New Avengers, most of this energy became a
entity called "The Collective", who has since come into violent conflict with the Avengers. In addition, a portion of the energy revived the body of Gabriel Summers, brother of both Alex (Havok) and Scott Summers (Cyclops), who had been trapped in space for many years following the defeat of
, the Decimation event was designed to reduce the number of mutant characters in the
as he felt the number of mutants had gotten out of hand after forty years of publishing. Most criticisms by fans have been aimed at inconsistencies regarding the roster of mutants who retained their powers after the event. For example, in the Generation M mini-series, several characters were considered depowered, even though they retained their physical mutations. The Civil War Files one-shot revealed that the US government's assessment of the number of mutants on Earth may not be accurate, which allowed Marvel to change the number of depowered mutants. Additionally, characters such as
, who are described as mutants but not particularly tied to the X-Men series of books, have not been affected by the event.
magazine published a speculative list of supposedly decimated characters, which Marvel Comics dismissed as including a number of mutants who still have their powers and also includes non-mutant characters. The list therefore is just a guideline.

While it has been stated that there are at least 198 remaining mutants, according to
, there are actually "around 300"; the 198 number is merely the number of mutants the US government has cataloged, with a 199th mutant (
) being off the record. Over 198 mutants have already been identified post M-Day with over 30 of said mutants have died since the mutant Decimation hit. The canonically confirmed post M-Day mutants are as follows:
so that he may track down and reanimate deceased mutants (to both form an army and an energy source for Selene). The reanimated army appeared in the "Necrosha" story arc, consisting of thousands of inhabitants of
, as well a number of notable deceased mutants associated with the X-Men. See the main Necrosha article to view the full list of those resurrected during the story arc.
Those characters have all had the origin of their powers put in question at some point. Here is some clarification.
were not officially recognized as mutants for so long was due to the hybrid nature of their powers. As Atlanteans they are far more powerful than the average "human"—they stand capable of swimming speeds up to 30 miles per hour (13.4 m/s), breathe perfectly underwater (and as hybrids breathe air as well), have a life-span of approximately 150 years, and are far more physically durable and stronger than the average human, as a side effect of living in such a high-pressure environment. Even as hybrids Namor, Namora and Namorita have powers beyond those of either Homo sapiens sapiens or Homo mermanus. There are several other Human/Atlantean hybrids in marvel history including
. All of confirmed hybrids seem to also classify as Homo sapiens superior (whether this is always the case of mixing genes, or just a fluke that all hybrids introduced developed powers beyond the normal ones exhibited by either races is unclear and further complicates identifying Atlantean mutants). It is unclear what the "mutant" status of hybrid individuals is post M-Day.
There have been four confirmed purebred Atlantean mutants and one possible purebred Atlantean mutant.
It is unclear whether Llyra, Llyron, and Nia Noble still have their mutant abilities, and whether Atlantean mutants count toward the global mutant population or not.
