Let's assume that there's really a Scarlet Witch in our world and she utters
"No more mutants." This is what I think will happen.

Since it has been scientifically proven that white people are caused by
mutation, everyone will turn into black people once that gene reverts back
to original.

It may have started as a mutation but, at this point, it can no longer
be considered as such...for that matter, evolution as a whole is
dependent on mutation so, if they are all undone retroactively, life
on earth would simply cease to exist all together.


This is the same with all science fiction story where an alien visits Earth.
It's unlikely that the same mutation occurs in another planet, an alien is
more likely to be black in appearance than the commonly reported blond-hair
blue-eye variety.

Not necessarily...just because humanity first evolved as black here on
earth doesn't mean that would apply to other planets...that said, the
odds of their being alien life out there anywhere that looks even
remotely human is pretty unlikely...even another planet virtually
identical to earth most likely wouldn't produce humans...think about
it, the birth of humanity came mainly external factors like cosmically
driven extintion level events (wiping out much of what came before),
environmental factors, and the luck of the draw.

In the Marvel universe, the repitition of the humanoid shape is at least
partly due to the Celectials. Not all Celestial seeded planets have
humanoid sapient life forms, but a large number of them do. Humans, the
Kree, and the Skrulls are all the result of Celestial tampering.

Fair enough...but, given that the Kree are blue and the Skrulls are
green, there is still no reason to assume humans from another planet
in the MU would be black.

True, but from the evolutionary standpoint, it'd make more sense to have dark pigments in your skin to protect you from the sun especially if you are mostly hairless.
