I gotta be real, if that universe existed and I lived in it i would be nervous that any random can just get the power to control the weather and stuff at that kind of scale. A lot could go real bad real quick. Some teenager finds out he creates a nuclear explosion when he stomps his feet or things along those lines being a factor would be really scary.

I think there've also been multiple global infections - viral, psychic, and nanotech - that were all designed to either make people hate mutants (more), randomly make them into mutants, or just plain ol' kill mutants. Marvel Earth is cursed.

This is increasingly where the world is heading, so it's actually quite prescient! Read X-Men spinoff novella "Infect Your Friends and Loved Ones"
