Loads of people died when a shitload of new heroes got the "everything around me dies" or "everytime I breath I use all the air in the room and everyone with me dies" powers.

That's actually a great start, postapocalyptic world recovering from that event, people hating and being afraid of mutates. Makes way more sense than Mutants in X-men.
Mason Parker
I uh literally took both those powers from X-Men.
But mutants in X-Men aren't one tenth of the population, so each happened only once.

X-men doesn't make sense because while they hate Iceman, they love the Human Torch.

The new world has dissolved into a fairly chaotic regime; there can perhaps be at least one theocratic state where the mutants rule and are worshipped as living prophets.
Also, what will be their name. "Gifted," or maybe something else?

Three decades ago? So 1987.

The Human Torch isn't an evolutionary mutant.
People fear the X-Men because they don't hesitate to advertise themselves as the next step in human evolution, ready to replace all humans soon, and mutants like Magneto don't hesitate to go after normal humans.

Because Iceman is a literal faggot. Also the Human Torch is not a mutant, he was born with his powers he got them because that dick Reed wanted to test his Super Science.
