This is a truly subjective question. I guess it depends on what level of research the producers do before making their hi-fi fiction. It is funny though to see so many things today that were science fiction 20, 30 years ago, like cell phones, internet, and computers.

Did you mean sci-fi fiction? If so, yes, any of these things are possible and in fact likely if you go far enough into the future. Some are closer than others. The X-men stuff you mentioned will likely be done through cybernetics or extreme genetic manipulation, however, not some random mutation.
Are they relevant? Kind of an odd question. So little that is produced these days as entertainment seems relevant to anything. However, if you are asking does sf have an impact on the real world, I would say definitely, if you look at hard sf.
Hard sf is science fiction that emphasizes the science as much as the fiction. No "technobabble". Check out Heinlein, Niven, Clarke, Asimov, Pohl, Pournelle, and others like them to see what hard sf, or speculative fiction, can be. You'd be surprised what you discover if you do some research. For instance...
A guy came up with what he thought was a pretty spiffy invention: a bed where you sleep on a bag of water instead of a mattress. He tried to patent it, only to find that he was too late... the idea was already in the public domain, because Robert Heinlein had come up with that very concept in his fiction years before. (Yes, Heinlein invented the waterbed... who knew? He just didn't market/produce it. These guys are writers, not businessmen.)
Back to your original question, though, ANY strange and mysterious thing you see in books or movies could be created using tech of the future, again IF you go far enough forward. As one science fiction author stated a long time ago, any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic...

I think the flip design for cell phones came directly from the transporter on Star Trek.

Yes, the dream tech is where some very good ideas come from.
