Marvel Comics asks "Who are the outliers?" in a minimal press release for Uncanny X-Men #2 by Gail Simone and David Marquez stating "Meet the Outliers, four uncontrollable and wild mutants".
An outlier being a person, thing, or fact that is very different from other people, things, or facts, so that it cannot be used to draw general conclusions, such as people who live past 100 being genetic outliers, whose longevity is unreachable for most of us. Mutants are outliers… but what is an outlier to a mutant? It also means a fact, figure, piece of data, etc. that is very different from all the others in a set and does not seem to fit the same pattern. Gail Simone posts "Uh, oh! 8)"

"Most of my time lately has been spent trying to keep my brain from exploding right out of my skull from this book," Simone shared. "It's either the fun of all my favorite mutants acting in surprising and wonderful ways, the impossibly brilliant work of the art team, or the thrilling collaboration with all the other writers, but somehow every DAY is just filled with some kind of manic joy. Ever since I took the book, I've been scribbling notes and plots and bits of dialogue day and night. I feel like a kid at a carnival. Who DOESN'T want to write Rogue and Jubilee and Gambit all the rest?"
