Why do people in the Marvel universe hate mutants but not other super-powered heroes?

Question

For example, as far as the public knows, Daredevil could be a mutant. But people don't hate him, even though mutation is the most lkely reason for his superpowers. Same with Spiderman and a few others. Is this just a Marvel discontinuity?

Answer 1

This is one of the finest questions I have seen asked on here. It is the kind of question that would only be asked by a child or a madman or a fool or a genius.

You, my friend, have had a flash of genius.

As one answerer already indicated, it is a serious oversight on the part of Marvel. However, this serves to heighten our awareness of Marvel’s distinctive political leanings and inherent unfairness.

For a long time now, Marvel has attempted to capitalize on the civil rights struggle by Black Americans, cheapening it to the extent of basing their ‘mutant’ characters on it. The stories made anybody who was openly anti-mutant seem ‘bigoted’ or ‘prejudiced’ --- despite the fact that the mutants THEMSELVES [as another answerer pointed out] claimed to be genetically… RACIALLY… Superior, with a capital S!

Can you say, Nazis…? I knew you could.

It’s become even more difficult in more recent years as the homosexual community has tried to jump on the bandwagon and ride on the coattails of the mutants ‘rights’ agenda. The Black American community seems to have forgotten that although America is big and rich, it is NOT infinite, and there may NOT be enough to go around!

If the homosexuals take everything that the Black American’s have struggled for, the Black Americans may be left with nothing!

So we see Marvel turning a Very Convenient blind eye (or, in Daredevil’s case, two of them) on the matter. If they were consistent in the matter, every super hero whose powers did not obviously derive from a device (Iron Man’s armor) or a substance (Captain America’s super soldier serum) would be feared and hated by the public as possible mutants.

They’d have to be tested. How can you PROVE that your powers AREN’T a mutation…? Answer, it is impossible to prove a negative outcome. One can only prove positive outcomes.

Could it be that the writers of Iron Man and Captain America just did not have the same political goals as the pro-mutant writers…?

How could the senior management at Marvel possibly solve that problem…?

To take away people’s civil rights, you need a Civil War. And who were the two main protagonists in Civil War…? You guessed it. Iron Man and Captain America.

It looks as though the Iron Fuhrer has won for the time being. Captain America got in the way of the political goals of Marvel Comics -- or whatever foreign power was secretly backing them to produce that subversive material.

I wonder what happened to the writers of Iron Man and Captain America…? Are they being held in a cabin somewhere and forced to use their talent to assist one very vocal and politically powerful group…? At the expense of another group of Americans who have been struggling and fighting for their rights for a hundred and thirty years, now!

Perhaps the writers aren’t being tortured anywhere. Perhaps they got big raises, promotions… bribes …? But the artists may be quite shocked when the books come out on the newsstands and they finally see what words are attached to their pictures…!

It’s all very suspicious and very disturbing. Having the public drool over some mutants and fail to suspect others of being mutants can’t just be an oversight! This has the earmarks of something that has been carefully developed and put into action over the course of years.

PS, this is a separate matter and i don't have time to fully explore it here. but with respect to what another answerer wrote, how do FICTIONAL mutants disprove creationism...? Wish fulfillment?

Answer 2

For Marvel- According to a crapload of sources, the sentry is powerful because he has the power of a million suns exploding and he beat up the hulk so bad in world war hulk (weird eh?) and he ripped Ares (greek god of war) in half during siege. But Thor (Norse god of thunder) also summoned a giant lightning bolt from the sky and incinerated sentry. But Jean Grey or the White Phoenix is the most powerful being EVER. But that is my opinion. For DC- Since I know some stuff, it is not really good but probably Superman, the Green Lanterns, Black Adam or Captain Marvel.

Answer 3

People always fear what they don't understand. B/c you are born a mutant. People fear that it will happen to their kids and the child will turn green or something. People like Magneto put the idea out there that Mutants w/their powers better then "regular" people and that maybe they should get rid of everyone who is not a mutant. If they guy living next door could level a city block wouldn't you be scared of him?

Answer 4

Give that person a "No Prize", oh wait, Marvel did away with those.

Mutants are hated because the proclaim themselves Homo Superior. Non-Mutant heros don't claim to be mutants when asked, but mutants advertise the fact that they are MUTANT heros

Answer 5

thanks to Civil War, many a superhero (who didn't register) are being hated by the public. In fact, it has taken the heat off of mutants, at least for now.

Answer 6

becuase mutants are evil and marvel is the best

Answer 7

Do they hate them really, what about the Xmen? They don't hate those guys... and they are mutants.Or they aren't from Marvel?

Answer 8

because they're the next stage of evolution. it scares them. espeacially in the south because they're living proof that creationism is bunk.
