But then I realized it wouldn't make sense at this point, since by the time of 'Iron Man 1' was 7-8 years before Peter became Spider-Man, and by the time of 'Endgame' there's been nothing related to mutants yet (not retroactively yet). One could make an argument for Aldrich Killian's line in Iron Man 3 about there being an empty slot in the brain for evolution of some kind as a foreshadowing for mutants, but since it was never followed up on, it's kind of a stretch. I forgot about that line. I would also guess it wouldn't play any role in the future, but I'm also remembering how in 'Far From Home' they brought back the scientist from 'Iron Man 1' that worked with Stane to work with Mysterio, so who knows. I would think it would just be a throwaway line regarding the rise of mutants being like "first postulated by Killian's theory on the brain" or "based on the research on the brain originally done by A.I.M.".
