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.
