I don't mind the Havok speech but the way it was presented kind of makes it seem more cowardly than progressive. I guess it depends on the person reading it.

Just because he addresses Mutant-Human relations peacefully doesn't make it cowardly. He could have done it aggressively like Cyclops but that would have defeated the purpose of him proposing peace.

It's like Havok took on the role of Professor X, while Cyclops is steadily becoming Magneto.

I just don't like Professor X. He's extremely manipulative.

Professor X wouldn't have made that speech though, he would have made the Kitty speech.

I didn't mean the speech specifically, I meant how he addressed it to the media.

I like how Kitty Pryde only ever mentions she's Jewish when she needs something to compare to mutant prejudice.

Loved how wound-up X-Men fanboys got over that Havok speech in Uncanny Avengers, even Bendis was reduced to childish trolling.

Yeah. But the equation is completly wrong. Religion and religious persecution is in no way compareable to idea of resenting someone because of his or her physiology.

There are parallels, both are huge issues and should not happen, but they analogy does not work. I find both the statements of Pryde and Alex interesting, but probematic. Interestingly for me the Summers brothers are not different from each other. Scott is fighting for equality too, he too will protect mankind, but he sees it as his duty to do more for a minority without the power to help itself.

Professor X is dirty as fuck. Magneto is why more trustworthy.

Lusting after Jean Grey

Enslaving Danger and lobotomizing her.

Sent the second X-men team to die, and then wiped everybody's mind of it.

For example, here was an average mutant in the 2000s. His name is Beak.

Beak's mutant powers? He's a human-chicken. Could glide a little, had hollow bones, tougher muscle to a degree, but in the end an average human of standard training could still beat him up rather easily.

But at least he is good at making friends.

In the 90's when comic books were all the rage I never cared for X-Men. Or any other super hero outside of Iron Man/War Machine. I read an issue of X-men since all my friends were into it, tried Spider Man and the like but they were never interesting to me.
