Did you know the concept of X-Men was based around Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr? Yep. If you’re familiar with the comic series it is plain to see. Much like when you learn the hidden history of melanated people. It becomes plain to see. But I digress. Professor Xavier is based on Martin. Magneto is based on Malcolm. Professor X is non-violent and basically teaches the “mutants” at his school to be heroes and get along with society. While Magneto is pro self-defense and feels that “mutants” are the superior race and he wants to wipe out all the humans. This is obviously fictionalized and those shallow tropes are written into it.
