Malcolm X is Magneto and Professor X is Martin Luther King Junior. When Stan Lee and Jack Kirby created the X Men in the Nineteen sixties, they weren't just writing superhero stories, they were riding a civil rights allegory. Professor X believed in peaceful coexistence. He wanted humans and mutants to live side by side to Che change the world through dialogue. Sound familiar ? Magneto ? He believed peace wouldn't come without power. That mutant kind had to fight back by any means necessary. It mirrors how Malcolm X called for black empowerment and self defense, while M. L. K. Preached nonviolence and unity. But here's what makes it timeless. They both wanted justice. They just saw different paths to get there, one through resistance, the other through reconciliation. And that tension is still alive today. And in a world that still wrestles with equality. The X - Men aren't just fiction, they're a reflection. Comment, Any comparisons you see between the X - Men and civil rights share believe, inspire blacks be.
