I think Spider-Man remains human (Homo sapiens). His mutation isn't due to him being of a separate species subject to mutation (like inhumans or mutants). Like I told before, if category Human Mutates is subcategory of Humans, he would still be in right category. Articles in child categories should be considered belonging also to their parent categories. So if Mutants are different species, their category should not be subcategory of Humans. It was regarding Nausiated's post.

I already makes stuff that way currently.

But mutants are alternatively stated to be humans and not. Also, the category "humans" includes more than the "common humans"/homo sapiens. In fact, there is a redundancy between Humans and Genus Homo.

You have Mutants, Inhumans, Deviants, Eternals, Mutates (whether it be science based, magic etc...) I was just wondering since the 8th iteration of Earth-616, will that be a new term for their characters? Checked again, I had added a few references on the glossary entry (in fact I created it): http://marvel.wikia.com/wiki/Glossary:Metahumans

To be checked but as I wrote there, the term is seems to be equivalent to "powered people".
