World War II Mutant History
Very few people know about mutants before the latter half of the twentieth century. Given that mutants were an unknown population until after World War II, many, if not the vast majority of mutants apparently hid their powers. The general public did know about mutates, however, like Captain America. The American military knew of Wolverine, but they were unaware that he was something categorically different from other supersoldiers.
