The reveal was made by Empire in their Black Panther: Wakanda Forever exclusive issue, where they stated, “One detail that is carrying over from the comics? According to [Tenoch] Huerta, his Mamor is indeed mutant.”
It’s a fact that has long been accepted about his existence in the Marvel comics universe, with Namor having long been viewed as the very first mutant, he will now be one of the MCU’s earliest, following Ms. Marvel’s reveal at the conclusion of her Disney+ series.
