Powered armor?

Is Creed a commentary on white kids raised by black people?

with help from weapon x

Reveal they were all brainwashed by Xavier to give mutants a common enemy.

Lawful Evil.

Weren't the FoH always supposed to be the more mainstream, politically-oriented opposition group to mutants rather than a direct physical threat, a role filled by the Purifiers?

They're from different times. The Friends of Humanity were from the 1990s, they were a 'grass roots' political movement, usually angry mobs. The other group active at the same time was Humanity's Last Stand, who were a more physical threat, with ties to Bastion and the military.

The Purifiers appear in one 1980s story, then came back in the 2000s.

They're pretty much the Klan, with Creed being a David Duke type.

By not making them villains, not making them evil, or racist strawmen. They're not putting on armor and fighting the X-Men, they're running political campaigns against mutant powers, and marching against the X-Men setting up a training camp in their town, and objectively they're absolutely right. Write them as acting in their own self-interest and for their own survival, instead of out of hate and malice, and write them as perfectly justified because of the scale of mutant-on-human violence and terrorism. Make them something the X-Men can't get rid of by punching or clawing them, they need to fix themselves and their people to solve this problem.

holy shit, this
>Xavier realizes mutants are appearing, humanity is going to have some issues with them, but he knows that despite how powerful they can be, if humans start culling them too soon they will be wiped out, but humanity IS going to be replaced by mutants
>Realizes that a unified humanity will be able to crush the mutaints, come up with a plan.
>Knows a lot of people embraced the Civil Rights movement because peace, pacifism, and believing in equality.
>Knows that using violence give you legitimacy
>Knows that many parts of humanity will not tolerate their replacement
>Here's the plan. He will form a team of mutants (attractive, strong, but not terrifyingly powerful) to act as a public "Face" for mutants that people can come to know and respect. Gets his Best Friend Eric to form another group to protect the ugly and collect the terrifyingly powerful mutants, along with those too PTSD to deal with humans to act as the Threat which show how dangerous mutants are to give them some bargaining power.
>Creates the Friends of Humanity as a honeypot to capture and guide those who will absolutely reject Mutants, limiting their actions and violence by giving a public face with outlets that are safer for mutants and act as a "racist" foil to Xavier so he can play upon the "you wouldn't want to be a racist, would you?" card to get humanity to embrace their replacements.

>They're pretty much the Klan
A KKK-type orginization uniting humans of all colors against non-humans?
Intriging.
Turn this Creed fella into a multi-cultural African-American with a wife and kids who died tragically inspiring him to take a stand so he isn't a "one-note evil white dude thats racist and evil because racism is bad".
Hell, make the family tragic survivors that would be suffering more staying alive.
Have him from a community that we get to see or know has changed for the worse over time because of mutants somehow, like mutant rapists/murderers/criminals who can't get caught or convicted because their powers are bullshit, or they are caught but never convicted because of lack of evidence.

I mean, they already are. it's objectively not okay to be a mutant.

Have the pro registration pro shra heroes join.

Graydon Creed died, came back, and may be dead again, it would be easier to replace him with a new character than to change his race. A new character could have a more sympathetic origin and reasons to oppose mutants.

> like mutant rapists/murderers/criminals who can't get caught or convicted because their powers are bullshit, or they are caught but never convicted because of lack of evidence.

Or mutant criminals and terrorists the X-Men took in, sheltered, and protected from human authorities. This has actually happened with a number of characters. Divide the X-Men between those who support racial solidarity at all times, and reject human justice, against those who know that sheltering mutant criminals is a reason why people hate them.

If they did this in the comics it would be the best retcon of all time.

I never understand mutants being an allegory for racism. Mutants are literally dangerous uncontrollable monsters, which is what 99% of media depicts them as. They even made it into a comic, some kid wakes up and he's a walking fucking nuke. Everyone in his town dies because of his powers. His parents, teachers, friends, everyone. They had to send Wolverine to kill him. Of course that's an extreme example, but there are other people who get mutant powers and use them for their own gain, or to be assholes. When most mutants are fucking pricks who murder people and steal, and the minority of mutants are "we dindu nuffin we got a school we need money fo programs they just good mutants getting their life on track going to church" it's total bullshit.

Like even since the earliest days that I learned X-Men were used as some sort of race allegory it never made sense. Mutants are actually dangerous and the
>dindu nuffin
attitude is so stupid. Even like said about the good guys harboring terrorists and criminals.
How difficult would it be to get into Marvel and make an X-Men book that takes place from the point of view of some sort of character?
Would I get refused? How many dicks do I have

This sound so cool and make so much sense, but knowing how dumb comic writer are, it will most likely never happen, but I wish for this to be real so much.

Or we can blame sentinent bacteria making all humans hate mutants

See Sublime

>and may be dead again

Sabretooth sacrificed his AXIS-induced humanity to prevent Stryker's latest resurrection and to save Graydon from Hell.

I've always wonderd why they don't have a communist-style group as an enemy. It would perfectly fit the communist behavior of :"All Humans are equal and if they aren't they must be made equal by force".
