Question When will there be more Whateley Mutants than non?

When will there be more Whateley Mutants than non?

... The title was going to be "Six Degrees of Whateley Academy"...

To clarify:

Given the amount of chatter in ...You Might be a Student at Whateley about heros and villains both being Whateley Alumni...

I wondered when that sort of thing starts/started being a common occurrence.

So, for all you math people out there.

"When do you think the mutant population would be over 50% Whateley Alumni?"

... Then again, that might never happen...

Never there are thousands of mutants around the world. Possibly millions.

Whateley is a school that struggles to handle 500 students.

The reason there is so much chatter about Whateley heroes and villains is because the top tier of mutants have a higher likelihood of getting admitted into Whateley and even those at lower power levels have the training to take one those above them.

Yeah, and the number of mutants is rising. Simply stated, as the demand for specialized mutant schooling grows, other schools are bound to appear. Geography/geopolitics will play a role here too:

Right now it's assumed that China has their own mutant training program.
I could easily see an Indian school (hey, they have 1 billion people!),
If demand rises to, oh, thirty students per year, an European school might start looking good to the Eurozone politicians.
Considering the current cultural... coolness... between the Muslim world and the West, maybe they would choose to go their own way too. (Indonesia has quite a lot of people, you know; that alone might justify it)
Eventually, if demand justifies it, perhaps a Latin American school and an African school.

Some of them would be affiliated with Whateley and work as "overflow" schools dealing with less-powerful mutants; some would attempt to be direct competitors.

Also, eventually, as demand grows, there might appear some schools focusing on certain types of mutants; magic-track, psi-track, tech-track, brick-track schools...

Wizard and Psychic schools might not be necessary. Both practices in the world tend to rely a lot on a mentor-student relationship. And for low level psychics and wizard mutants, it may be possible for skilled baselines to teach them enough to avoid hurting themselves.
So seeing an increase iin mentors, a few with two students is likely, and they may occasionally work with close allies for larger training projects, but actual schools, I just don't see it happening.

not until the 2030's right based on the 2055 thing...

That is because of the toxic Bedbugs Jobe infected the hotels for the mutant convention. The bedbugs kill 90% of the mutants attending.

Remember that Whateley is expensive (in resources).

So unless there is something special (or their families are rich and pay for it to get them out of the way), low powered mutants wouldn't really benefit. Even the bulk of the MCO is hardly going to get into a sweat about an Exemplar-1 or a Gageteer-1 out in public, after all.

The Whateley mutant demographic is not comparable to the average across the world.

Low power mutants are an interesting category, all the discrimination that comes with being a mutant, and only a little bit of power to make up for it, none if you're an Ex-1, the only way to detect that is physical changes. Fortunately non GSD exemplars don't usually have the glowing eye bit.. low power energizers would have it the worst, hard to get employment and that food bill...
