Did they specifically say mutant? I thought he was just some kid with superpowers with unexplained origins.

Well if they had some new characters (without established backstories) created for that Rooters plot, I would have been more accepting. I just found it stupid that they all just so happen to be the Plumbers Helpers, that Ben's team encountered in AF, and no one else.

I also thought the whole reasoning for the Rooters existence was pretty stupid: Servantis not liking a kid wearing a superpowered watch. Really? And any particular reason he went to the trouble of creating an army just to take Ben down? There are much more easier and subtle means he could have done so.
