Yes they are...in the word "Mutate".
The word Mutate in that sentence is a "non action verb", it represents the after effects or condition of the action of the mutation or mutating, it represents the suffering of action
No and no.
The word "Mutate" by itself tells me nothing.
In the sentence Spider-man himself used in the cartoon, in that context Mutate tells me something bad is going to happen to him and possibly others.
In your sentence mutate only tells me what Spider-man is. It doesn't tell me anything about the after effects or condition of the action of the mutation or mutateing, it doesn't represent the suffereing of action. Mutate in the context of your sentence tells me WHAT Spider-man IS an nothing more.
Again, it's like telling me that Billy is a flu rather than Billy has the flu. Which is it? Does he have the flu or is he the flu?
Spider-man is a Mutate. Does not tell me that Spider-man HAS any kind of condition. It tells me that Spider-man IS the condition and that just doesn't make any sence.
Besides you said yourself Mutate had two different meanings. You're the one that brought up the fact that there are a GROUP OF PEOPLE in the Marvel universe called Mutates. In that sence Sabre (btw it feels really weird to type his name, I fell like I'm talking about myself) is right when he said it's a noun.
Have you looked at a Dictionary lately. Just about every word has multiple meanings listed by them and each meaning allso lists "Noun", "Verb", and "Adjative" use of the words where they can be applied. Simply put, just because it CAN be used as a verb in one sentence does not mean it can be used as a verb in EVERY sentence.
The word itself is not a verb, the context it's used in can make it a verb though. The context in which you used it, it's an Adjective because the way you used it, mutate decribes a noun, that noun being Spider-man.
If I mutate into... Into following the word Mutate make it a verb because in that context it describes something that might happen. I only say might because he started that sentence with the word If.
Spider-man will mutate. Again mutate is a verb here, before I said mutate I said "will" which describes something that's going to happen.
The spider bite caused Petere Parker to mutate. Again mutate is a verb, caused and to both make it a verb.
Spider-man is a mutate. The words is a make mutate an adjective. Nothing in that sentence tells anything that happens, happened, or is going to happen. It only tells what the noun is.
Here's another example. In the Marvel universe a Mutate is a mutated human. In that sentence Mutate is a noun, it's a name of an individual, a part of another race of humans.
Mutate by itself isn't anything. It's the context it's used in that makes it a noun, verb, or adjective not the word itself.
Here's another example for you.
The word "Fly" is it a noun, a verb, or an adjective? The correct answer is non of the abouve because I haven't even used it in a sentence yet but it could be any of them.
Fly, Noun, an insect. Plural, Flies. Zippers are allso called "flies".
Zip up your fly.
Fly, verb, the act of flying.
I can fly.
Fly, adjective, a slang term used to describe a person as being cool, hip, or whatever the hell you wanna call it.
Dude, you're so fly!
Mutate has multiple meanings as well.
Mutate, noun, a mutated human. Plural, Mutates.
Look it's a Mutate!
Mutate, verb, a prediction of something to happen or something that has happened.
The spider bite caused Peter Parker to mutate.
Mutate, Adjective, a description of a character.
Spider-man is a Mutate.
Oh, no, no, no. Please, let's not start
