Like, if you want to be analytical, the X-men weren’t any more hated than other superheroes at the start, considering civilians have ALL capes a lot of shit, even Captain America. The real issue was that like Spider-Man, nobody could figure out what their deal was. They always popped in to stop evil mutants, so they must be good, but the fact they came and went as they pleased and refused help to the point of fighting other heroes off made them an anomaly. It didn’t help when things like them taking in Magneto along with the formation of Freedom Force and X-force began happening, making it hard to understand whose side they were on besides their own.

Then writers began leaning in so heavily to the mutant metaphor that the X-men basically became the public face for mutants everywhere, so their silent disappearing act got less tolerable the more dangerous mutants and giant robots showed up without an answer.

Or just blame Magneto for their shit reputation. Either one is fair.

It's mostly Magneto since we've see what happens when Xavier doesn't have to deal with Magneto's bullshit in other universes/timelines.
That being said, the X-men really didn't help since from an outside perspective the X-men Vs The Brotherhood was a superpowered gang war where members constantly switch sides.

Technically true. It's a tool for controlling the retarded masses and keeping them infighting instead of rising up. But at the level of the retarded masses it's entirely irrational.

Whether the characters or writers want to admit it or not, mutants are inherently dangerous. If they need special glasses or a containment suit to keep their powers from hurting others they aren't safe to be around.

I feel like mind control bullshit and cerebro have a huge coverage is the biggest issue. Like, if i were to write an x-men hater, i would lean more towards the telepathic threat. You can even go full blown conspiracy schizo who would claim that every person who doesn't hate mutants got brainwashed by Xavier at some point. Anyway that's how i would react to telepaths irl

Avenger's motives are not fueled by racial agenda for starters, you wouldn't see Thor for example making a big deal of his race being superior to humans. Also as far as i know avengers do not a have a machine capable of altering the mind of every human on the world with no safety warrants

[Assistant]
>>136816391
It's a matter of public image and intention. More to point the Avengers are aberrations, no a race. Well except Thor but you don't see Asgardians really acting the way mutants do. The X-men want to be powerful beyond recon, define themselves by their powers, be free to abuse their powers as they see fit, and can come out of nowhere. Image you're standing in line to get a hot dog and some pubescent teen behind you sneezes and now you upper torso is completely obliterated. Even most of their heroic actions is typically cleaning up after their own kind and messes.

This is kinda my problem with the whole idea of X-Men. It's supposed to be a big analogy to marginalized groups and shit, but the whole "they can destroy the earth at any second and their organization is constantly a mess" kinda fucks it up.

Like in real life, people don't like LGBTQ+ and minorities because they are retarded/subscribe to culture war bullshit. There is no moral reason to hate them. They can't actually blow up the moon with rainbow lasers or anything. But in X-Men, these niggas are constantly fighting each other, letting villains in, blowing shit up, not want any regulation on having the ability to nuke anything at will. There is a moral argument for keeping tabs on them.

Well here's the thing about that. Back in the early days, that was A point of the characters but it wasn't THE point of characters. Like the whole "Xavier's dream" angle was just meant to be their "With Great power must also come great responsibility." It wasn't meant to be a real end goal. It was just a heroic justification because fighting to save a world that fears and hates you is a good angle. If you could read more into it then all the better but basically it was just meant to be there to give them a reason to be the good guys while they go off and face a plethora of villains be it evil mutants, aliens or sentinel robots.

But after a point it seems like the race angle became all anyone wanted to write and the idea of mutants being a separate race went full retard when even the sentinels were like "Nah dawg, humans and mutants are the same."

[User] What everybody else has said so far. All superheroes have gotten shit on for one reason or another, whether it was completely justified or not. The difference is that groups like the Avengers and Fantastic Four stick around for their damage control and don't have the option to scurry back into the shadows to not face their fuckups, and don't get indignant when called out like the X-Men tend to do. The other more blatant thing is how the bad mutants and the not-as-bad mutants are indistinguishable from each other at this point due to the latter palling around with the former. You can't really explain why anyone should be cool accepting a known racial supremacist and mass murderer like Magneto, a serial rapist and murderer like Daken, and a notorious terrorist like Mystique just walking around with the X-Men, when there is no excuse like mind control or possession to give them an out.

To be fair to the muties, since I tend to shit on them for reasons they definitely deserve to be shat on, people have plenty of reason to be afraid of other super teams:
Fantastic Four
>Reed
The smartest man on Earth with access to technology that can affect the entire universe. He's not a megalomaniac that wants to take over the world, but other versions of him made it very clear that he could do so pretty easily if he had the drive.
>Sue
She can kill you as soon as she gets eyes on you by pulling a Law, can defend against anything you send back at her, on top of becoming completely invisible. Planetary made it very clear how a psychopath with her powers would be the most dangerous person of the team to face head-on.
>Thing
Probably the easiest to handle of the Four since he's "just" super tough and super strong, but he can still fuck up a lot before he goes down. He's just a hair under the Hulk on average, which is enough to be a serious threat if he decided to go apeshit.
>Johnny
A flying plasma torch that can also blast off with enough heat to match a supernova. He'd be near impossible to stop by conventional means when he turns on.

Avengers, too many to name, but here are the usual suspects:
>Steve
Not as much of a physical threat compared to many of his teammates, but the fact that an evil version of him took over the world shows that he doesn't have to be if he's even the least bit willing to throw away some of his scruples.
>Tony
He built a Dyson Sphere, that already implies that he has resources well beyond any other industrialist on Earth. He's not Reed levels of bullshit, but he's capable of developing tech that can definitely fuck over all life on the planet if he wanted at the flip of a switch, and at the very least severely fuck over infrastructure for an indefinite period of time.
>Thor
Storm is a Great Value version of him, so everything that can be applied to her as a threat, can be applied to Thor.
>Banner
At his strongest, no conventional force can stop him. You'd have to hope some other super can face him, or that he's caught in Zero-G somehow and he's unable to come back to Earth.

Probably the easiest to handle of the Four since he's "just" super tough and super strong, but he can still fuck up a lot before he goes down. He's just a hair under the Hulk on average, which is enough to be a serious threat if he decided to go apeshit.
>Johnny
A flying plasma torch that can also blast off with enough heat to match a supernova. He'd be near impossible to stop by conventional means when he turns on.

I forget which run it was but one instance had Reed specifically state the reason he had them become super famous super heroes was because he knew they'd be feared otherwise. And that's the point. The avengers, Spider-man, Fantastic Four? They all made a choice to be super heroes. To use their powers for the greater good in a very public fashion. Mutants don't want to do that. Mutants don't think they have a responsibility. Mutants think that they both deserve god like power and don't think they need to use it for anything but themselves. Most heroes see their gifts as a call to effect the world. Mutants think the world owes them acceptance.

Avengers, too many to name, but here are the usual suspects:
>Steve
Not as much of a physical threat compared to many of his teammates, but the fact that an evil version of him took over the world shows that he doesn't have to be if he's even the least bit willing to throw away some of his scruples.
>Tony
He built a Dyson Sphere, that already implies that he has resources well beyond any other industrialist on Earth. He's not Reed levels of bullshit, but he's capable of developing tech that can definitely fuck over all life on the planet if he wanted at the flip of a switch, and at the very least severely fuck over infrastructure for an indefinite period of time.
>Thor
Storm is a Great Value version of him, so everything that can be applied to her as a threat, can be applied to Thor.
>Banner
At his strongest, no conventional force can stop him. You'd have to hope some other super can face him, or that he's caught in Zero-G somehow and he's unable to come back to Earth.
>>136824030
Come on, nearly every asshole has been an Avenger at one point, even the whole planet during those "Everybody is an Avenger" moments.
>>136824238
>Asbestos
Cancer.

The difference between the Fantastic Fource and Avengers compared to the X-Men is that they tend to own up to their bullshit, while the X-Men feel like they have to answer to no one, which makes the latter a lot worse, but that still doesn't mean that the comprising those teams wouldn't also be scary to a lot of people.

I always see people claiming that the hatred towards the x-men is forced and unconvincing, however it makes perfect sense from the average Joe view point. I mean, just look at the members
>Cyclops
A walking weapon of mass destruction, man capable of destroying cities and entire armies literally with a glance
>Storm
Member capable of destroying whole countries in the long term by causing hunger and endless natural disasters
>Wolverine
Unkillable spec ops assassin, at least 4 didgit number of deae victims
>Rogue
Anti-hero unit. You think your small super hero team can protect you against x-men. Good luck having their powers unleashed against you, all at once
>Nightcrawler and kitty
Literally the perfect spies/sabiteurs imaginable
And lets not forget the most important members, the TELEPATHS
In addition to cooperating with global terrorist such as magneto x-men have a numerous telepath members that can threat your the privacy of your thoughts, and even the freedom of your will, ON A GLOBAL SCALE. X-MEN LITERALLY HAVE A MACHONE THAT CAN ACESS THE MIND OF EVERY PERSON ON THE PALNET. WAKE UP SHEAPLE

On that note, does anyone have the tally for deaths caused by Magneto during Fatal attractions? Last I recall (due to Hickman releasing the mutant population numbers during krakoa) Magneto logically killed off tens of, if not hundreds of thousands of mutants with his EMP to make him one of the world's greatest mass murderer's of mutants.

That's literally just the Morrison years. In the previous decades they went from less than 30 known mutants in the 60s to a few thousand worldwide, excluding Genosha, which had a much larger population because a mad scientist had been turning people into mutant slaves.

Magneto declared a race war by hi-jacking nukes with a broadcast nearby and numerous times committed crimes against humanity. Any time he was put to trial, he got via bullshit.

The biggest issue is that the X-Men openly welcomed this asshole. The intense animosity towards mutants would be less if you didn't have mutant super criminal being welcomed with open arms by a militia group that sounds like it's lead by a mix of Jim Jones and the ATF ideal of David Koresh with all the children basically leaving their families to become soldiers for the X-Men.

In Universe people have a reason to be afraid of the X-Men. They're basically a Doomsday cult that doesn't respect the rights of anyone, even if they have an X-Gene. Don't want to go to the school and want to learn to use your powers by working with your dad in the Junkyard? Too bad Jean makes your dad an overt mutant hater or Professor X 'makes a convincing argument' and you commit hate crimes for him on X-Force.

I don't think the X-Men ever treated any of the former Brotherhood of Evil Mutants with anything but initial distrust with the occasional bout of open hostility in Rogue's case.

Pretty sure the Celestials thing you're talking about came after the 90s, and the mutants being the special chosen people of the Celestials AND the Phoenix, both of which will start chimping out at the idea of a mutant-free Earth, shows you just how retarded X-Men writers got.

The few sane moments of the Krakoa era has a few mutants calling them assholes for trying to pigeonhole them into being a part of some weirdly crafted identity, when they just want to be left alone. The issue is that these are the kinds of individuals who wouldn't be up to forming groups or whatever to push back against the rhetoric, so there's no prevailing message of "fuck you, you lot are assholes by trying to tell me that my blue skin makes me have more in common with a bunch of shitty strangers than it does with my family, and fuck you, stop trying to kill me for having blue skin, I'm not trying to replace you idiots despite what the guy with the retard helmet says" to provide a third option.

Remember that they tried this with Havok "look at me as Alex, not as a mutant" and they practically lynched the writer over it, good luck trying to make that a legitimate position for mutants.

>Xavier: Integrationists whose followers run the gamut from "I'm basically a regular human except for the superpowers" to "I can't be be a bigot I have a flatscan friend!"
>Emma Frost: Genteel mutant supremacists who view mutants though a very aristocratic/blue blood lens. Power chauvinists with telepaths at the top.
>Magneto: Full on master race supremacists, but egalitarian when it comes to the results of mutation.
>Apocalypse: Gas the humans*, gene war now! *Humans also includes mutants without powers, mutants with detrimental mutations, mutants without good powers, mutants who didn't stab enough mutants in the back, mutants who stabbed too many people in the back, mutants who...etc.
>Morlocks: Isolationists who revel in their "freak" status.
I think that covers a lot of the main points you'd see while still leaving room for differing points of view that don't fit neatly or people like Justice or Scarlet Witch who fundamentally see themselves as normal people with superpowers.

I think it's also the lack of human camps too.
The resolution to God Love Man kills was that HUMANS were absolutely disgusted by Stryker. Even the racist leaning ones decided to turn their opinion around after seeing his crap.
X-men books have mostly been pushing the idea that humans are just looking the other way anytime an atrocity happens when many groups of humans would absolutely defend a mutant in trouble if they are capable of dealing with or stalling the threat.
Sure you still have your hick towns like the ones that were going to lynch Cyclops or Iceman in their origin stories, but you also have the humans willing to stand up to them or places where Xavier's old career actually did work to make humans understand mutants are not to be inherently feared.
Those humans getting ready to riot when the state government was trying to make it a law to sterilize mutants didn't just pop into existence from nowhere.(Around Utopia Era. I wanna say just before but I'm not sure)

On that note, does anyone have the tally for deaths caused by Magneto during Fatal attractions? Last I recall (due to Hickman releasing the mutant population numbers during krakoa) Magneto logically killed off tens of, if not hundreds of thousands of mutants with his EMP to make him one of the world's greatest mass murderer's of mutants.

The complete lack of philosophical divisions is what kills X-Men. Personally I think at minimum the primary camps should be:
>Xavier: Integrationists whose followers run the gamut from "I'm basically a regular human except for the superpowers" to "I can't be be a bigot I have a flatscan friend!"
>Emma Frost: Genteel mutant supremacists who view mutants though a very aristocratic/blue blood lens. Power chauvinists with telepaths at the top.
>Magneto: Full on master race supremacists, but egalitarian when it comes to the results of mutation.
>Apocalypse: Gas the humans*, gene war now! *Humans also includes mutants without powers, mutants with detrimental mutations, mutants without good powers, mutants who didn't stab enough mutants in the back, mutants who stabbed too many people in the back, mutants who...etc.

Generally agreed with that being how things should be, but good luck getting people to accept that Emma is a villain and shouldn't be with the X-Men.

Apocalypse's only the strong should survive ideology has seen him deem non-mutants worthy of survival, really he'd just want a permanent state of conflict where everyone is constantly being tested to prove themselves. I feel like the Magneto faction would be sub-divided with various other leaders like Mystique and Exodus, with approaches ranging from wanting their own ethnostate to wanting to wipe out humans.

>or people like Justice or Scarlet Witch who fundamentally see themselves as normal people with superpowers.
Characters like that are just better off getting retconned out of being mutants now, aren't they? There's no way modern comics would treat that as a valid an acceptable viewpoint, they'd have to learn the error of their ways, leave their homes and families to join "their people".

>>136826576
>I'm surprised you rarely see a religious angle.
That was the Acolytes, though the Morlocks were like a cult without the religious aspects. And now the mutants in general are like that.

>I swear this shit was so much better when they were just super heroes and get sent to outer space or the fucking savage land.
True, but good luck ever getting the writers or the fandom to accept that.

I am really trying to remember when exactly the X-Men welcomed Magneto with "Open Arms." because the way I remember it, it was more like "The X-Men died, Xavier left Magneto the Institute and Magneto buried the hatchet to be a better mentor to the New Mutants."
I don't think the X-Men ever treated any of the former Brotherhood of Evil Mutants with anything but initial distrust with the occasional bout of open hostility in Rogue's case.

It'd be harder to sell the racism allegory angle when you start seeing a wide range of demographics believe that mutants can be seen as an existential threat. Seeing whites, blacks, asians, etc. of all social and political standings band together with the same position that they're afraid of the existential threat that mutants present would kill the narrative very quickly.

It's not exclusively hicks. It's just that traditional "hick" areas are where you find the highest concentration in line with the metaphor the X-men go for and it's far enough away from anywhere densely populated enough that a random hero would stop them.
Eg. The X-men did used to get attacked in NY too, but it rarely escalated to the full blown riots you see happen in mutant origin stories.
Magneto is also generally not dumb enough to go human hunting in the middle of New York when he has plenty of other out of the way places he can do it.

It works as an estimate of the overall bodycount from that story, but not so much for the number of mutants Magneto would have killed. Before the mutant population skyrocketed in the early 2000s, pre-destruction of Genosha, 99%+ of the world's mutants were ex-slaves on Genosha. Probably not many of them pulled themselves up to a position to afford international flights in the short time between their liberation and Fatal Attractions.

He's smacktalked his non-mutant friends behind their backs using the same "humans just don't know any better" rhetoric despite the fact that he's done far worse things than most humans in history, says that Krakoa is a heaven on Earth for mutants, "begrudgingly" deals with the Quiet Council while still cashing their checks, and spends the rest of his time doing mutant CIA shit killing, and getting killed, a ton.

Remember, he was also one of the people defending Magneto when the Winter Guard were sent after him, despite everyone present knowing that Magneto was a very well-known terrorist that needed to be tried. So even if he grumbles, he still finds the need to defend them somehow, he was never above it.

Emma's not a take over the world villain, she's not even normally a villain who gets her hands dirty and tries to kill people, Emma and her Hellfire Club friends are about their own comfort and profit above all else, and had no problems building and selling Sentinels, and with personally using them against the X-Men.

She is someone who just doesn't care about humans, and sees them as a lower form of life to her, and on some level she sees a lot of crap-tier mutants like that too. New Tian is Emma's kind of mutant supremacy in action, it's not as bloodthirsty as Magneto, Mystique or Apocalypse but a human with other options still wouldn't want to live under it.

I'm sorta yes/no on her being the worst. She's the more insidious kind where she has the power and ability to affect positive change but actively chooses not to in order to satisfy her greed and vices.
Emma might not be as actively malevolent a mutant supremacist as others, but her evil is far more wide reaching. She's partially responsible for worldwide sentinel making, she is directly responsible for making Jean go dark phoenix and the subsequent death of billions of lives,abuses her powers for financial gain, uses banks as a portable wallet, set Firestar's horse on fire and so on with a whole bunch of things I can't tink of off the top of my head in between. She may not be as evil as some others, but her callous disregard of the consequences of her actions to others she views as "below" her has left a much greater negative impact than any wannabe mutant Isis ever could.

No. That's fundamentally incompatible with every X-Men story before the early 2000s. It's incompatible with every older story where a new mutant being found was treated like a big deal. It's incompatible with the early issues of the very run that gave us the population increase, which specifically state it as being a recent development. Don't accept any revisionist lies which try to claim it was always like this.

His solos were my favorite Marvel books for a long time. Pulp lone wolf is definitely his best role

Also want to add that Weapon X implant claws are WAY better than coating bone claws with Adamantium

Maybe we should have accepted Loeb making him descended from a race of wolf people.

Wasn't that original canon? I thought the original conceptual idea for him waaaaay back in the day was that he wasn't actually a "real" mutant, but was going to be explained as a creation of the high evolutionary (One of his animals evolved into a humanoid, with his base species having been a wolverine, making his name literal)

Len Wein's original plan for Wolverine was that he was a teenager, and his claws were just part of his costume, but Claremont and Cockrum changed all of that. IIRC Claremont briefly toyed with the idea of Logan being one of the High Evolutionary's New Men early in his run, but never got further than one issue setting it up by having the Sentinels get a different reading from him than they did with their other mutant prisoners.
