For about the first ten issues. Then you kinda realize he’s a bit of a dick. As a kid I loved the man and his team. Then I realized I liked the team more without him as a teenager. Then I actually read the x-men and I immediately thought “Jesus christ call CPS for these 12-28-ish children”

Black Bolt had a god damn island on the moon and no one asked questions? Bros entire thing is “eugenics” and then when he died everyone was like “oh man Black Bolt was never MY friend I never visited the blue area of the moon!”

uhh did prof x turn out to be a phobe? out of the loop here on this one
aug 4, 2025, 10:34 pm • 2 0 • view
Not a phobe but certainly a manipulator. Fronts like he's the nice, peaceful mutant MLKj while being perfectly happy to rewrite someone's personality if he thinks he won't get caught. Once erased a whole-ass brother from Cyclops's memory for the sake of the mission

Cyclops example was just the first I thought of, I think the list of Marvel characters Xavier hasn't nonconsentually altered the minds of is shorter than this list of those he has

There's also the time the Danger Room achieved sentience and he hid it from the Xmen for years, which is kinda phobey in its own way
aug 4, 2025, 11:06 pm • 7 0 • view
Many times for “therapy” in the early 90s. It was weird. He also wiped Magneto’s mind too, which resulted in Onslaught. Then there was the time he actually explicitly SA’d his students while EVIL. He was The Entity, one of Xavier’s many evil halves. What the fuck, man.

What events exactly are you talking about?
aug 4, 2025, 11:11 pm • 0 0 • view
Well the Cyclops one is Deadly Genesis, but in general writers like using "Professor X mind blasted this person years ago and kept it quiet" as a retcon
aug 4, 2025, 11:26 pm • 0 0 • view
Yeah that's definitely a problem and I think there's a lot of trash writing in the 90s and 00s that really tanked his character's perception, but with Claremont's version + right after I don't read him as a manipulator much at all. So ig it's a question of treating everything as canon or not.
aug 4, 2025, 11:29 pm • 2 0 • view
Deadly Genesis is a pretty abysmal story so I'm more then fine with not having that be canon lmao like it's so bad.

I mean, not really? We're talking a character who's been written by a lot of writers over the years, many of whom have conflicting ideas on canon. Here's one good article that examines the 'core' of the character. eriksonline.wordpress.com/2023/06/27/i...

i was incorrect, this comic came out May 1973 and she was retconned into being his daughter until October 1981 its also not a cover comic, its Avengers issue #111 and is a page within the comic itself the retcon is in Avengers Annual #10

Magneto is most certainly not a zionist. A zionist would not go to Israel and say "You have new gods now"
aug 4, 2025, 11:38 pm • 0 0 • view
He's not like a literal Zionist but he is dedicated to establishing sovereign rule for his own people by any means necessary, up to and including massacring others. Do you think this could be a metaphor for something

Not to mention, Claremont also specifically compared him to Menachem Begin

Also I think it's fair to say that Magneto speaking for Krakoa is somewhat different than Magneto when he speaks for his own views before and after Krakoa
aug 4, 2025, 11:41 pm • 0 0 • view
His views before Krakoa were "I am a teacher and leader of genosha" except for the very very small window of time after Acts of Vengeance when he remakes asteroid M and does a magnet storm. He gets his brain wiped and when he comes back hes back to heroics.
