Is there really a Mutant Problem?
It is fitting that today is Halloween, when I wish to bring up the discussion of the mutant "problem". Was it not during this time where witches were hunted for, and many innocents were killed in the blind prejudice of the people?
There is no problem with the mutants. It is a problem in society that has been a part of this world since the first stone was thrown in the ancient times. We as a people have come to believe a concept in which one person or species is better than another.
But is this true? Is there really a superior race?
Magneto, the founder of the Brotherhood of Mutants, believes so. The core foundation in his belief system is that the evolution of the mutant gene in the human race is an act of God, no specific religion, and/or nature, taking the creation of man and moving them to their next biological level.
Is this something to fear? No. It is science. It is nature. It is the way that the world has been since it's creation. If we did not evolve, we would still be apes, or the step below being the amoebas from the ocean.
