Mutants are always going to be a retarded allegory, the whole point of being a mutant in X-Men is a metaphor for being part of a "marginalized" or persecuted group, so in this context it would be like being a minority/gay person saying there is no cure and there shouldn't be and society needs to change. But in X-Men Universe it's retarded because this is a girl who kills everything she touches.

That's the fucking problem, it should have never turned into that, the X-Men and mutants should have stayed as just gifted people the general populace in the Marvel universe had no issues with, not a portrait of the civil rights movement.

Now we have ugly ass mutants being created, with extreme deformities to make it more believable why a common person would be prejudiced against said mutant.

This. The X-Men never were not a racially segregationist milita that was looking forward to the total population replacement together with their terrorist branch.

And they aren't Ho-Teps, the US government literally stocked giant robots to have something to counter them, should they decide that it's the day of the rope now.

These comics do teach people to sympathies with the plight of the 1%, the smallest and the most persecuted minority of them all.

Except these kinds of mutants should be more sympathetic than the general public, because they are just disabled/deformed people. I'm more afraid of the guy who can kill thousands of people if his sunglasses fall off.

Any allegory for racism where the oppressed minority has incredible super powers is retarded because it basically means the racists are right to hate and fear them, they are a danger to themselves and everyone around them.
