But while most mutants today are spawn of the recent resurgence of mutations, a few - very few, powerful mutants still exist from the earliest ages of man.
This is the story of two of the most powerful mutants of all time, two most legendary figures in history. They have had many names such as Hevel and Qayin or Habil and Qabil but most of the English speaking world know them as Cain and Abel.
Both Cain's and Abel's abilities deal primarily with the abilities of others but differ drastically in how they do so. Both also have abilities that have attributed to their longevity. Only a few other mutants from the dawn of mankind still exist such as Apocalypse (due to his time in stasis) and Chronos (a time traveler)
Both Cain and Abel also have some limitations that have prevented them from becoming overwhelmingly powerful over the courses of their immense lifespans. They are also both limited in that their abilities are focused on human subjects which include human mutants. Aliens, constructs and similar beings are usually less affected or even entirely immune to their powers.
