You could use that argument for any group of people to try to discredit them. 😬

Mutants are an actual persecuted group. The entire point of mutants is that they're an allegory for civil rights, and it's been that way throughout their history. From the sentinels to Bastion and beyond, the amount of anti-mutant sentiment is enormous.

It's like i said in another thread, nobody in Massecheussets worries that Spider-Man lives next door; a mutant is a different story.

Its been heavily implied for a while that he knows he just never cared. This is the first time he seems to be acting on the knowledge. Since his war was with batman and not bruce wayne, his goal was always to defeat the batman.

A huge portion of the people of new york think spiderman is a menace thanks to the daily bugle (he has only just started getting acclaim since cap and ironman vouched for him). Half the time the cops fire on him when hes trying to help. The asgardians had similiar issues when their whole kingdom was invaded during siege. Hell besides the fantastic four and captain america(who have been championed as the nuclear family and the war hero) , is their really any superhuman that isnt hated or feared by people in large groves? Not only that take a look at x-factor. They dont have half the problems the x-men have and they are pretty out in the open. Looks like an X-men thing to me.

Please dude that arguement was a joke in the 70s. A large portion of them are either born looking like freaks or with powers so destructive they are a danger to themselves and others. They live in a world with Sorcerer Supremes, Asgardian Gods, and planet eating, purple helmet wearing stars in human form. They are no different from spiderman, captain america, hulk, or the fantastic four. They just have a chip on their soldier because being born that way is so special 🙄 . The majority of them only have their x gene show up when they hit puberty anyway which is right around the time peter got his powers. They are just a bunch of superhumans that want to be separate from the pack.

you're right and wrong at the same time

yes, the mutants live in a world that also has mutates and other non-human beings, and most of the debate is dying down in this era, but at the same time there is a history within that universe where mutant persecution does exist. this is why magneto is so very important in the history of mutant kind; magneto is the antithesis of the cameron hodges, william strykers, gyrichs, trasks, etc of the past and mutants remember them just as humans remember magneto's exploits against humanity.

cyclops was ruined by making him act like it was back in the 60's and he was some crazed mutant they used to fight... smh. the phoenix force also lost major points for showing up in a crappy event

Nephthys The Gr8est!!!!!!!!

And yet he still came out of it in the right imo:

It's like telling a black person or a gay person that everyone like them is going to be wiped out.

More eye candy for you.

No, they're genetically different. Spider-Man is one guy. Mutants are an entire species.
Even when they have different powers, they still have genetics in common that humans don't.

IIRC , then both mutants and mutates used to have the X-Gene . Or is that not the case anymore ?

I was pretty surprised by those panels. I'm waiting to see what Marvel does with Simon.

Was it ever explained how Rulk went from punching out Watchers to this is such a short span of time?

The Loebforce got nerfed . Rulk is in the same position in which a Hulk is truly supposed to be .

JakeTheBank Return of the King

He stopped using his absorbing powers willingly as he ran the risk of never being able to go human again.

As far as I know, I think his absorbing ability got nerfed to gamma energy only currently.

Also no Loeb.

Read last panel for butt-hurt Rulk (4th on top).

It was confirmed on panel, iirc. I remember seeing the scan on here a while back saying he was purely gamma now.
