As a whole, the representatives of the new mutant nation of Krakoa make no bones about the fact that they see themselves as the rightful inheritors of the Earth and are merely patiently waiting to become the dominant species (which going by In-Universe projected birth-rates, will happen in the next 20 years or so). This leads to unsettling sights like Exodus preaching about mutant superiority in a cult-like atmosphere with a specific devil figure - 'The Pretender' (Wanda Maximoff a.k.a. As of Jonathan Hickman's X-Men in 2019/2020, they are all onboard with this, with only a very few exceptions (Wolverine, Jean, and possibly Scott are among them).
What makes this especially ironic is that unlike the Main Marvel Universe of 616, the Ultimate Marvel mutants are not the result of evolution, they're actually a byproduct of the world governments attempting to replicate the Super Soldier Serum after WW2, which ended up screwing with the gene pool when the various failed super-soldier projects had kids of their own.( Depending on the Writer, of course, but that's how it normally is.) Plus, in the proper 616 universe, it's the Brotherhood of Mutants who go on about how mutants are genetically superior and their main point of conflict with the X-Men is that the X-Men don't believe this.This is especially grating since in the Ultimate Universe practically every character save for Spider-Man Took a Level in Jerkass, including Cyclops, who many if not most readers consider to already be a douche in the regular continuity.The ordinary human they are talking to at the time says not a word. On one occasion Professor X tells Cyclops that a certain instance of resentment is a human thing, and he is "pleased to say" Cyclops wouldn't understand. The mutants in Marvel's Ultimate Universe constantly talk about how genetically superior they are, and how it means they have a higher standard of behavior.
