Threat Ratings

Every mutant is assessed a baseline threat rating based on their powers alone. If they have a criminal record, their rating is raised by one. If they have a record of violent crime, the rating is raised by two.

Officially, no mutant can be rated higher than three on powers alone. However, individuals deemed to be unusually threatening may be rated higher. Note that five and six are not based merely on powers but on criminal behavior as well.

Mutant Threat Ratings

• 1: Minimal. Mutation is not inherently dangerous. Mutation offers little physical advantage over individual humans. Effects are usually limited to the individual mutant. Examples: Aimee Connors (baseline), Ronnie Bluth, Taya Robbins, Riley Grace.
• 2: Moderate. Mutation is potentially dangerous, or dangerous with limited effects. Mutation offers significant physical advantage over individual humans. Effects may extend beyond the individual mutant. Examples: Alex Kaine, Jamie Morrigan, Tess Abrahams, Jake Foley.
• 3: Significant. Mutation is inherently dangerous. Mutation offers significant physical advantages over groups of humans. Effects may be environment-altering. Examples: Anna Fernandez, Jacinda Blake, Carlos Calaveras, Michael Stern.
• 4: High. Mutation is inherently dangerous on a city-block scale. Significant trained manpower needed to overcome this individual. May threaten entire communities. Examples: Aidan Fox, Feral, John Rhee.
• 5: Extreme. Individual shows a willingness to use mutation for violent crime. Only criminals can be given this rating. Examples: Geryon, Flux, Pedro Calaveras, Mute.
• 6: Critical. Individual uses mutation to wage war against the American government and its people. Mutation is dangerous enough to warrant a rating of three or four. Generally reserved for the leadership of extremist groups like the Brotherhood. Examples: Saladin, Spectre, Jane, Neutron.

New Amendment

Mutants understandably are not happy that someone like Anna Fernandez can be assigned the same threat level (3) as someone with a "non-threatening mutation" who commits violent crime (1 + 2). While mutants are required to carry an ID card as proof of registration, mutants without a criminal record can ask to have their threat rating omitted from the card. Their rating will only appear in the official registry, where it will be visible only to law enforcement, hospitals, and government officials.

Oddly enough, among some elements of the mutant subculture, a higher threat level has become a badge of honor. Conversely, there is a popular assumption that mutants without a number on their card must have something to hide. After all, if you were only a 1, you'd want people to feel at ease around you, right?
