In a world with people like hulk, spiderman, and thor what makes

>>88522438
You could say that it's because of how they got their powers, through accidents. They didn't have them by choice and neither do mutants, but anyone's mutant power could kick off at any moment and it could range from something harmless and manageable to something that could take out a city block the moment it activates

Even though, and correct me if i'm wrong, under certain circumstances nobody should be able to tell who is a mutant and who isn't in the first place.

Also, having someone like Magento constantly causing shit and going "Humans are on the way out! It is time for Mutants to shine!" every time he appears doesn't do any favors.

>>88522438
Nothing. It's why the X-Men's central conflict makes no sense in the Marvel universe.

there are many instances in the comics where F4 and avengers are being outcast and prosecuted by the poeple

>>88522438
On the most basic level, it's because of paranoia.

Recall at the beginning of "Pride of the X-Men" Stan Lee says the following:

>This is Stan 'The Man' Lee warning you to look around you, your friends, your neighbors, your classmates, you never know which one of them may be...A Mutant!

When you see Spidey swinging around or Thor flying through the sky they are visible, they are quanitifable, people know them and understand them.

With mutants, they could be anyone, anywhere, that guy on the street that bumped into you might have just used his weird mutant powers to steal your bank account number right out of your brain and you'd have no idea.

Or that kid that gets bullied at school, he could suddenly turn into a living nuclear bomb and atomize a town to get back at his tormentors.

The difference between most superheroes and mutants is that costumed superheroes are just that, heroes, they are here to help and protect us. That they chose to do this for the sake of others, is mostly understood and accepted by normal people.

Mutants, by contrast, are just people, everyday ordinary people who may have unpredictable powers they could choose to employ in any petty, angry, hateful way they choose, and humanity can be plenty hateful.

So really, people aren't afraid of mutants, they are essentially afraid of other people. Suddenly there could be unforeseen and horrible consequences for their pettiness, and as we all know, anything that keeps people from acting anyway they damn well please is cause for outrage.

>>88524582
But the thing is there are plenty of non-mutants that get powers randomly so that's not really a great rationale.

>>88522438
fuck are you talking about, Hulk and Spidey are hella prosecuted. everyone hates those two and wants the dead. Thor is a FUCKING WHITE MALE so he gets a pass, tho. Except from the very religious, in-universe they hate Odinson

Spider-Man is just one guy and that's all he'll ever be, give or take direct descendants. Even if you're family has always been human there could be a mutant swimming in your nuts right now.

That's the difference, no one is afraid the Thing is the first of many rock people who are going to replace humanity

>>88524763
how is Spidey any less prosecuted then the X-Men? they've made tons of giant robots specifcially to kill Peter, the news is always calling him a menace, etc

>>88524678
So you're saying that...
Hating someone for being born different from you... ISN'T rational????

>>88525313
No, they're only good when they aren't subservient to the whims of the other stories. Whether that means equal footing (early Claremont), dominant (late Claremont through early 00s) or separate is up to you

Pretty much, this is why I like the idea of mutants being in a separate universe. Because it makes no sense. Especially the government making giant robots and task forces to hunt them while totally ignoring superpowered non-mutant villains.

There should be a rivalry between gamma radiation powered heroes, cosmic ray powered heroes, and mystic powered heroes instead.

Wolverine fucking up Thing in the 90's was bullshit. Thing should just be able to make Wolverine punch himself until he gets bored and walks away.

>>88522552
I swear anybody who says this has never read a Marvel comic in their life.

The X-Men were born into a shared universe that already had been through plenty of ups and downs with the usual heroes. Their conflict has existed alongside that of "normal" heroes from the very beginning. In fact it was a central part of the concept. This shit has been explained so many times, it's no less believable than New York/Earth being threatened with enslavement or destruction every week.

Now I'm not saying the X-Men don't work well in their own universe, that is obviously not the case and as far as movies go it's probably for the better. But the idea that it doesn't work in the comics or that the comics haven't bent over backwards explaining it every chance they get for the past 50 years is simply laughable.

>>88526169

>>88525527
That's just what they want you to believe.

Honestly thought they were the most inclusive team around, they never really hang out with non mutants much. And typically keep completely to themselves.

Not many other teams really keep certain power types among them like that. Even the FF has She Hulk, Frankie Ray, Namor, Spiderman in their team at times.

>>88526242
She Hulk and Thing are still infinitely stronger than Wolverine.

Someone who lifts thousands of tons easily can just not be threatened by a guy who is as strong as an average short hairy guy.

Never understood why Wolverine was supposed to be a Hulk rival, there is nothing he can do to really stop Hulk. Hulk regenerates much faster and nicer than Wolvie on top of being the strongest guy in the setting. Cutting him is just not going to put him down.

>>88526399
Danger, Omega Sentinel, Jubilee, Dani Moonstar, Dr. Rao, Warlock, Ink, Warbird, Kid Gladiator, maybe Deadpool counts too...

- Dr. Rao ... OKAY, you got me there!
- Warlock is an alien robot-man who learned compassion, hardly a mutation. So that doesn't count.
- Ink is a flatscan human who got tattoos from an actual mutant. So that doesn't count.
- Warbird is an alien from a culture that thinks imagination is taboo, and she has broken that taboo, not mutated like Deathbird. So that doesn't count.

>>88526908

>>88526737

Origins' was a prequel to the original X-Men series, The Wolverine was post X-Men 3, both are now Logan's personal history but have been more or less erased by Logan's time travel in DaysOfFuturePast, and the Deadpool writers just don't give a fuck.

>>88527072
>The Wolverine

>X-men Origins: Wolverine

>Deadpool
Post Days of Future Past. In fact, literally the only films canon right now are the 3 most recent X-films and Deadpool.

Logan will probably retcon even more shit, including itself at the least.

>>88527159
Doubtful, Danger has oddly never taken a personal interest in interacting with other A.I. beyond introductions.
She doesn't see the world the same way as we would, things like friendship with other machines don't play into it.
She has however taken great efforts to emulate, understand, and relate to humans (well... mutants) undoubtedly in part because her original programing involved studying the combatants training in the Danger Room.

>>88526540
Danger's technically a mutant.

Well, it's supposed to follow on Apocalypse with Essex being the main bad, and yet it feels more like the original timeline.

I guess they literally can't into continuity.

>>88522438

The best opinion about it that I have read is that, for most superheroes, they got their powers through experimentation and/or chance, they were originally normal humans. Normal people doesn't feel less special than, say, Captain America, because he was a soldier like a lot of other soldiers but got chosen for an experiment that could have ended with his life, but he got lucky and got powers out of the deal.

Mutants, on the other hand, have powers tied to their genetic. As much as Magneto's ideology hurts, it's pretty much spot on, they get special powers just for being who they are. That makes normal humans feel insignificant, and at some level it must affect mutants too, since there are vast differences between mutants' powers.

Other supers are better than you because either talent or luck, or a combination of both, but mutants are better than you because it's encoded in their genes. Not that having superpowers actually make you better, but wouldn't you envy them?

Also, as other people pointed out, they fuel paranoia. You have problem with school shootings all the time, imagine if anywhere, anytime, a kid could suddenly develop the power to vaporize their school or mess around with people's minds, or travel in time.

>>88524678

Not really, mutants vastly outnumber other characters with powers gotten by chance, and by their own nature, mutants will eventually overrun normal humans (well, originally there were more mutant birhts every year, but now I think they're going extint again).

>>88528905
>well, originally there were more mutant births every year, but now I think they're going extint again
They're all sterile, there were mutant massacres in 3 countries, and plenty have died from poisoning.

All to set up a bullshit conflict that makes no god damn sense even with all that setup because Marvel forgot that terrigen also fucks up Inhumans with repeated or unlucky exposure.

>>88524805
>>88525015
>>88525589
>>88524752

Hulk and Spiderman are the only examples of non mutant heroes who are hated.

Hulk is a walking danger that could level a city at any given time if he's mad, Bruce Banner considered suicide over the fact of how dangerous he is.

Spiderman's hate isn't generalized, and people's opinion about him swings all the time. Also, he has a media machine with a hate boner against him.

As far as I know, Daredevil isn't hated. Ironman and the Fantastic Four lead a regular life despite their superpowered shenanigans being very well known by the public. Thor, well he probably doesn't give a fuck about public opinion, but except certain events I don't think people hate him and he didn't give people reason to hate him either.

>>88529011

Yeah, well I wasn't very sure about their actual status, but they have been fucked since the end of House of M since that has never been solved.

>All to set up a bullshit conflict that makes no god damn sense even with all that setup because Marvel forgot that terrigen also fucks up Inhumans with repeated or unlucky exposure

I'm kinda glad this Inhuman pushing is failing, I just hope they don't ignore people's opinions like they ignored their own backstory.

>>88529131
>Yeah, well I wasn't very sure about their actual status, but they have been fucked since the end of House of M since that has never been solved.
Actually that got solved by the Phoenix activating a bunch of new mutants during AvX.

>>88529218

Didn't remember that the Phoenix actually helped them with that. I wasn't sure if Phoenix did something that wasn't undone to be honest.

>>88524582
This. Read Marvels.

>>88529517
yeah, when Wanda and Hope send the Pheonix away it remedied part of No More Mutants on it way out. The people who lost their powers didn't get them back but people who had the gene but never got powers manifested some, and mutant babies started being born again.

>>88529783
Marvel needs to pick a god damn status quo

Racism doesn't make sense.

>>88529831
Mutants have a status quo: persecuted and barely hanging on despite all they've managed to overcome.
It's the same status quo they had a decade ago.

>>88524582
But the same could be said of any normie with a gun. ANYHONE can literally purchase murderpowers at the walmart and use it if they're huge assholes.

>>88530089

You would still be accountable to what you do with the weapon. A weapon won't trigger by accident unless you are a retard. You can regulate where people can carry guns (for example with metal detectors in airports). You can go out with no weapons, and you can get in trouble for carrying a weapon in public without a reason. Not every loon can buy weapons, it's regulated. If you do something shitty with your weapon, society has ways to find you and make you pay for it.

The only way the analogy between mutants and gun owners work is if we suppose that gun owners have their guns attached to their hands, they are impossible to remove, they can appear in your body when you're a teen and some of them either fire randomly or are just constantly firing.

>>88529866

If you throw superpowers in the mix it's something different, it might very well be common sense to fear a group of people that can control your mind.

NO RETARD.

THE X-MEN WERE ORIGINALLY CONCEIVED AS AN ANALOGY FOR RACISM.

IF THE X-MEN EXISTED AS STAND ALONE ENTITIES IN A UNIVERSE WITHOUT OTHER HEROES THE HATRED AND FEAR OF MUTANTS WOULD BE JUSTIFIED AND LOGICAL.

>>88530450

What I meant is that if you aren't a retard you will take the safety measures to not having it fire all around. If you're a regular person, and not a soldier constantly using weapons in a high stress environment, you don't have reasons to have it shooting by accident except being a retard who ignores the safety measures for reasons only retards can ponder about.

I don't know how the military could fuck up so badly, but I neither know what those numbers actually are, or which weapons caused the casualties. If the US military is full of idiots like you without reading comprenhension or thinking ability it could be easily explained though.

Yes it does, it's mostly culture related though, not just hating someone for looking different, as Americans seem to think, that's why core conflict in x-men makes no sense, cause Americans just don't get what it's all about.

>>88522438
The actual, in canon explanation is that that mutants stink and cause literal nausea in 97% of the normal humans. Mutants literally "stink" and cause repulsion in norms.

>>88525015
When comics comment or have development on other cities, there is the prevalent perception that capes are a NYC thing only, which implies the rest of the country sees almost zero of it. Mutants can happen anywhere, not just NYC, which explains the mutant hatred, they are not relegated to one city. That should answer the big question, and I'm surprised no one ever tought of it.

you do understand that spidey is a big hate figure in New York, the Hulk was literally hunted and feared for most of his existence before being shot into fucking space by his actual friends, and Thor along with every other Avenger has had protesters outside the Mansion since, like, Avengers #150?

right?

you do get that?

it's not that people don't hate and fear non-mutant superpowered individuals or that some mutants get along just fine without being hated and feared, it's that the x-men whine about it more because they're a political cult begun by a rich man on a secluded estate, dedicated to indoctrinating children with their bullshit

it's their special power

Because they are subhumans

>>88522438
The whole point of mutants is that they are completely random and uncontrollable. A kid on a playground could spontaneously become a mutant and blow up all of the other kids. These are random people that are suddenly granted insane powers without any kind of accident or being 'chosen' by a higher power.

A lot of mutants are also very horrible to look at. Even Nightcrawler and Beast are on the upper tiers of mutant beauty compared to some of them. There was one mutant whose only mutation is that her neck was 3 feet long, strong enough to support her head, and that her head was 30% larger than the normal human's. She died during the decimation because she turned 'normal' but her head was still large and her neck was still 3 feet long, so it snapped like a twig while she was walking home from work and it took 4 hours for someone to work up the courage to actually see if she was dead.

Also the mutant gene is passed on through bloodlines, so a single mutant is all it takes to restart the entire population given enough time, and all children of a mutant will have the X-gene even if it is latent and never activates.

These facts alone are enough to make society twitchy, and remember that most of the people that actively hate mutants and lead the torch and pitchfork mobs actually have hidden motives for hating mutants. Half of them have had children turn into mutants, been hurt or cucked by mutants, or had their lives ruined by mutants.

But Magneto is a reactionary, his bullshit is partially a response to the prejudice coming from the people of the Marvel U.

He might be perpetuating mutant hatred but he definitely didn't invent it.

>>88533287

Well, he kept hammering it into people's heads that mutants are a species (a superior one at that) when they really aren't, so he complicated things way more than they already were.

>>88522438
X Men's always been to some extent a racism/homophobia/transphobia allegory, so yeah, plot armour or whatever you'd call it, don't think about it too much

other anons have written good reasons
I have nothing to contribute aside from this

Because Hulk. spiderman or Thor don't live next door.

You could be greeting Timmy in the morning when he gives you the newspaper and that afternoon Timmy could blow the entire neighborhood during a nightmare

We've had this discussion a million times.

It's because mutants are prevalent, growing subcategory of people. Hulk is an accident (people DO hate him, though). The F4 are accidents. Cap is a heavily propagandized state-sponsored super soldier.

People don't just wake up and become hulks. You schoolteacher is not going to a hulk, nor is your neighbor, or your spouse. Most superheroes are the result of isolated incidents. Mutants aren't an isolated incident. Your schoolteacher could be a mutant. Your neighbor could be a mutant. Your spouse could be a mutant. People are envious and afraid of the fact that random people can just win the genetic lottery and get an unfair advantage over them.

Also, the fact that it's supposedly an evolutionary process triggers religious folks. Note that 90% of anti-mutant organizations have religious trappings.

Hulk is hunted by the US Military.
Spider-Man is reviled by the American media.
Governments are genuinely afraid of Thor but don't have much of an answer, as he conveniently lives in another dimension.

>>88533801
also, we only see superheroes through the general opinions prevalent in New York, which is generally positive. We almost never see opinions of people in the South, the Bible Belt, or outside big cities, other than "This only happens in New York City!"

>>88532727
He wears a mask to hide his identity, which means he's ashamed of who he is, because he's got something to hide, which means he's a probably criminal and definitely a menace!
Jonah also hates guys like Daredevil, but gets pissy if someone tries to be racist against mutants in front of him.

>>88533287
>He might be perpetuating mutant hatred but he definitely didn't invent it.
Bullshit. Nobody knew or cared about mutants as anything more than another group of kooky superhumans before he blew up a military base while gibbering about mutant supremacy.

>>88522438
Mutants are an actual species, mutates aren't.

Think the difference between monstergirls and one dude herring bit by a radioactive minotaur.

>one dude herring bit by a radioactive minotaur.
Phoneposters do not deserve trips like that.

>>88533888
>Mutants are an actual species, mutates aren't.

There is generally no way for the angry mob to ever tell the difference.

Much like that time angry Chinese mobs mistakenly attacked a Korean factory, thinking it was Japanese.

The others are special cases. Mutants, on the other hand, represent the end of the human race.

Fuck the movies make more sense given no other superpowered humans exist in their world.

>>88522438
Marvel civilians hate everyone.

>>88522524
>Also, having someone like Magento constantly causing shit and going "Humans are on the way out! It is time for Mutants to shine!" every time he appears doesn't do any favors.

Wasn't Magneto the one to introduce mutants to the public at large and didn't he do it by trying to nuke some large cities?

Welcome to the world of the unified Marvel universe. Shit doesn't make sense when you compact all of the Marvel storylines into one world. Seriously, how the fuck do crimes even happen anymore when you have a million superheroes?

>be kid
>hit puberty
>x gene no one knew was in the family line kicks in
>all I get is the power to change my hair color and even then only in natural colors, so brown, black, blond, and red
>still get giant robots crashing into the school trying to kill me all the time

Fucking x gene.

>>88533962
Hence why they mistake non-mutants for mutants sometimes unless explicitly told otherwise.
I mean
>Iron Man is an armored dude
>Cap is a military experiment
>Hulk is hated for being Hulk but people know he is also a mutate
>Spider-Man is hated
And so on. It'd be nice if they made instances of not mutants getting hate because people didn't know better then later apologizing for thinking he was a dirty mutie or something

>>88522438
Spider-Man and the Hulk are also persecuted and hated (most times, anyway), albeit to a lesser degree in Spidey's case.

>>88529866
Racism is a natural response to prevent harm. We tend to distrust anything that looks unlike us because we don´t know it. And if we do, our past experiences with them can potentially make it even worse. Even if said past experiences were just watched on TV or something like that. So, and since racism can be reasoned, racism does make sense.

>>88532701
He's jealous.

The impression I got from New X-Men was that 99% of mutants are just hideous looking freaks with no powers.

>>88534858
Nah, most mutants are human looking with a relatively low tier power. Something that gives them an advantage, but not a huge advantage. The biohazard looking ones are a tiny percentage that Morrison played up in his run.

Remember, mutiehate is primarily about envy. It's about people feeling asshurt that someone else hit the jackpot.

>>88522438
jealousy

Slowly and carefully now AGITATE THE HELL OUT OF THIS MUTANT!
