>superpowers are le heckin AWESOME>...unless you're an ICKY MUTANTJustify this shit /co/.
Human nationalism and fear of the other fuels pograms of violence against anyone who is born different.
>>155136935You misunderstand the sentiment. Superpowers are awesome, being a mutant is not. The positive of having superpowers does not override the negative of being a mutant.
>>155136935I don't think Marvel's message is "superpowers are awesome", for many Marvel characters, they're kind of a burden.
>>155136935Halo effect. 90% of the X-Men look like super models so you are willing to forgive any action they take, even the messed up ones. If they even looked average or like freaks then you would understand. But anyways it's a irrelevant question because marvel civilians are assholes who treat their Mutate heros just as bad if not worse. Look what they did to the Hulk
>>155136935I'd figure the differnce is that mutated like the Hulk, spider-man and the fantastic four often acquired their powers in predictable ways and oftentimes heroic scenarios so they are known quantities and seen as predictable. Plus some are famous philanthropists like the FF so they already had a good reputation, turned their freak accidents into assets and became bigger heroes.Mutants seem to come about at random and to absolute nobodies so its a crapshoot to who gets a good power and who is a good person. Unknown quantity is unpredictable.Thats not even to say the general public knows about the origins of powers and who is who. Like the average Joe will most likely feel a random supe will at best turn a blind eye to crime like spider-man did or use their power for vengeance like the hulk does. Plus aren't like a lot of psychics mutant in origin? If the public only heared about one demographic having that power and abusing that power one would be weary about said demographic having and doing that as goes stereotypes. Speaking of which how many villains are mutants? And has anyone erroneously concluded spider-man or the hulk or any other disparage anti-hero a mutant?
>>155136935
>>155136935Well Spider-Man is hated despite not being a mutant. Unless they retconned him to be a mutant.In any case the problem is that teens have random powers that are dangerous and they can't control. Cyclops destroys anything he sees. Rogue can't touch anyone. Storm could cause huge weather problems.Also many mutants look weird.
>>155136935Marvel is for retards.
Its not difficult anon
The "good" muggas have kill counts in the millions.
>>155136935>Justify this shit /co/.it has been routinely proven that real effect of the X-gene is not superpowers but turning people into pyschopaths
>>155136935I remember there was a comic where when a kid awakened his x-gene it ended up giving his entire town cancer and killing them all. I assume it’s cases like that are why people hate mutants, that and Magneto blowing up Manhattan every two years.
When Stan Lee wrote the books, every superpowered individual was hated. Fanboys took over the Avengers and Fantastic Four, eventually even Spider-Man.
>>155137632> X-Men are a metaphor for maligned minorities >4th panelKek
>>155138282If serious elaborate on this. As far as my comic knowledge goes the meta fictional reason any superpower works is because its inherently reality warping magic, where mutates like spider-man and the fantastic four had a major event to induce that magic while x-men mutants just have it unlock on its own.
>>155136935Other superpowered beings>We're gonna call ourselves the Avengers, and avenge the innocents evildoers and villains harm or killMutants>We're gonna call ourselves X-men as in ex-humans, also we'll recruit mutants who were totally okay with human extinction and even tried to help cause it. Also most of us call ourselves homo-superior which was coined by a mass murderer but it's okay because his bald gay boyfriend convinced him not to kill all human life even though every other time he saves human he mentions he totally would've been okay with them dying.
Filthy casual here who doesn’t read the comics:How does the general public of the Marvel universe treat the characters who are literal space aliens? Do they get worse treatment than mutants?
it makes no sense at all since superheros and magic people exist in the marvel universe it would make sense if x-men were their own universe where super heroes and super powers weren't a common occurrencethe whole teen persecution allegory super powers thing is retarded and will forever be retarded
In the 70s a bunch of normies lost it and decided to become suicide bombers because they were mad that Vision, an android, was getting romantically with Scarlet Witch, a technically-still-human.
>>155138776>they were mad that Vision, an android, was getting romantically with Scarlet Witch,unfortunately so were some of the writers at Marvel
>>155138651>If serious elaborate on this.the last 20 years of X-men comics the X-men/mutants have been being absolute monsters
