    People hate and fear black people or gay people out of ignorance and stupidity. People fear mutants because they cap rip out all the iron in someone’s body. They have the power of a million mass shooters in one hand.

      Some of them have the power of of a million mass shooters. Some of them have the power of a very long neck. Seriously, there an X-man with the codename Longneck because he has a very long neck. He’s never once helped the team in the field, because he’s completely powerless unless he wants to look over toilet stall walls while pooping.

      He does have longer arms to match his neck, but that’s it. I guess he can easily get stuff off a high shelf…

      And pointedly he cannot blend in as a normal human, so his introduction to the team was them saving him from a lynch mob.

        I’m imagining the mob standing around the guy scratching their heads, with the noose pulled all the way up to the branch.

        Yeah, but that that does not mean we can ignore the fact some can just level a city if they are in a bad mood. My point is that xmen is a pretty shit allegory.
