X-Men ‘97 Reveals Xavier’s Mutant Agenda Failed Across The Galaxy
The Shi’ar Don’t Regard Mutants As Pure Humans
Be it in the comics or the animated serial , the driving military force behind Adam - Men ’s creation was Charles Xavier ’s opinion in sport and humans peacefully co - existing on Earth . This was the gelid opposite of arch - nemesis and casual friend Magneto ’s possibility of mutant being higher-ranking to humans ( or “ homo - superior”in his word ) . But even after eld of Professor X overseeing the mutant superteam and after his apparent death on Earth , X - military man ' 97,unfortunately , usher anti - mutant hatred to still be on the rise . This is more than evident from howX - Men ‘ 97introduces villain like X - Cutionerand limn the tragical downfall of Genosha .
The fact that the Shi’ar empire also look down on mutants as lesser than mankind disclose that Xavier ’s disarmer Utopia of coexistence require a good deal more work .
The sixth episode ofX - Men ' 97revealed how this anti - mutant bias go along to live outside Earth as well . The Shi’ar Empire disapprove of the romanticism between Lilandra and Xavier because of the latter ’s mutant stemma . The Shi’ar would have disapproved of humans as well ( referring to them as “ Terrans ” ) on report of them being not of their race . Butthe Shi’ar consider mutants as a lower caste , even substandard to the “ Terrans ” . This racial discrimination is clear in how the Shi’ar refer to Xavier as “ not even a pure Terran ” when compare to those who last in “ the Milky Way Ghetto ” .

Why Mutants Are So Hated in Marvel
The Anti-Mutant Racism Is What Makes X-Men So Political
When compared to other Marvel comic storyline , theX - Menstories have always been political in addressing real - globe racism . This is why complaints ofX - Men ' 97being “ woke ” completely missthe full stop of the team ’s political partial . For decades , the comics and their adaptation have show how humans fear mutants for their hereditary differences . Branding mutation like the X - Men as threats to humanity , the human government , mass medium , and scientists in the Marvel pantheon have an fast-growing bias against mutants while treating other superheroes more fairly . There ’s obviously a sloshed racial allegory here with the mutants stand up in for all marginalized communities .
AsX - Men ' 97reveals , even a “ superscript ” foreign race like the Shi’ar Empire follows suit by grant a lower condition to variation . The Shi’ar might be more innovative than humans but they reflect standardised prejudices . With Lilandra being a notable exception , most of the Shi’ar dread that mutants will corrupt their genetic science . The anti - mutant sentiment among the Shi’ar are ironic considering they have their own superheroes in the pattern of the Imperial Guard , each member mull over a unique transmissible aberration in their soundbox . This bias , much like the man , demonstrate again how mutants are treated worse than superheroes inMarvel .
