Wow, thank you so much for taking the time to write that out. That definitely helped me appreciate the context of the story better. I had no idea Iceman was so powerful--he seemed rather unimportant in the movies, which made me sad because I like Shawn Ashmore.

So, if Spiderman had a kid, would that kid be considered a mutant because he was born with his dad's altered DNA even though Spiderman himself isn't considered one?

I think it is so nice of you to respond to comments like this!

And thank you very much Mannadisanicola for helping to answer my question as well!
