Topic	How come in Marvel, people who want unequal rights/mutant registry are bad guys?
UnfairRepresent 07/01/18 10:14:07 AM #15:	Gheb posted... Going back to your Magneto example. He was a well-known mutant terrorists with well-documented powers. He still got very close to killing all humans anyway. The government was still useless. Because no safeguards or registration was in place That's the entire point. I'm sure Neto has like 8 different origin stories but in the movies the Nazi's recruited him as a child to be a weapon. That was literally their plan. And you're saying that's cool? And is there any reason to believe that if the government had a list of people and their powers, they wouldn't abuse it? Well considering this government made giant pink 30 foot robots they almost certainly would but that doesn't make the people calling for it bad people. Oh and let's say as part of the registration process they run into someone like Franklin Richards or Jean Grey. Someone with some serious power. What is the government going to do about it? Probably kill, lock up or labotomize them. But someone like Jean Grey should be intelligent enough to comprehend "Hey you literally have the power to kill everyone so you can't be walking the streets. I mean I comprehend that and I never was mentored by Picard. Ever played Harvester? The cult classic comedy/horror live action PC Adventure Game from the 90s? There's a character in that game who is a crazy war veteran with no legs who hates communists and thinks everyone is one. His job is that he guards the nuclear missile silos and keeps an open big red button on his belt which drags across the ground that if pressed launches nuclear missiles that will kill everyone. Would you be cool with that guy walking....well crawling the streets? Because that's pretty much what Jean Gray, Prof X, Magneto, Storm and the other 70+ X Men Rogues Gallery characters of equal power are. Sure it's not "Fair" but neither is being born allergic to your own skin. In a universe where super powers exist, it's a reasonable option --- ^ Hey now that's completely unfair. https://imgtc.com/i/14JHfrt.jpg <cite>UnfairRepresent posted [p:904293390] in How come i...
