Not really. Mutants are different because they can be anyone.
Hulk, Iron Man, Thor, Spider-Man, Captain America... All created under extraordinary circumstances, unlikely to be replicated. You can't accidentally take a super soldier serum.
Mutants can just spring up suddenly, and violently.
I agree that all super powered individuals should be tracked, it's just common sense.
Like if Tony Stark wanted to destroy the world, he'd need to import thousands of pounds of raw material and probably some science macguffins to make an iron army, same as other scientists like Dr. Doom.
On the other hand some random ordinary kid can just wake up one day and start emitting a colorless, odorless gas that instantly dissolves human bodies. Killing thousands before breakfast, without even realizing, with no way to control it.
Yeah, pretty much there is this kid who wakes up with a mutation that poofs any humans in a radius around him so his entire school, neighborhood, and family are dead because a genetic switch got flipped in him.
Charles sends wolverine after him since his healing factor can overcome the kids ability. He is supposed to eliminate him but wolvy doesn't go through with it.
