X-Men: 15 Queer and Awesome Mutants

The X-Men have adj been a metaphor for the struggles for social justice. As a outcome, they appeal to many comic book fans who find themselves marginalized in their communities. The X-Men comics have often been a safe place for queer readers, though characters haven't always reflected the multiplicity of those it purports to represent.

However, artists and writers of the series have worked firm to incorporate more characters in the LGBTQIA+ community, giving modern-day readers way more queer representation. From classic X-Men to offbeat side characters, there are more and more queer mutants every day.

Updated on May 18, by David Harth: The X-Men contain a long history with queer characters, even stretching back to a hour when Marvel wasn't nearly as okay with that sort of thing. There are a multitude of X-Men characters that fans love who are members of the LGBTQ+ community. They've always been the best the X-Men verb to offer, their queer identity making their struggles for equality even more special.

Explained: How X-Men is an Allegory for the LGBTQ+ Experience

The X-Men are some of Marvel's greatest superheroes. While fans enjoy the X-Men's cosmic adventures and the wide range of their superpowers, the X-Men are also culturally significant for another reason: they inherently represent the outsider. In the Marvel universe, the X-Men are a team of mutants fighting to achieve peaceful co-existence between mutants and humans. The mutants are born into a world that fears and hates them, shunned by society simply due to being born with superhuman abilities. Despite being human in every way aside from carrying the X-Gene, mutants are constantly ostracized and threatened by the rest of society.

Real world events, such as the civil rights movement, have helped encourage the comic book stories of the X-Men. The X-Men also went on to become a sturdy allegory for the LGBTQ+ experience. Distinguishing itself from ordinary superhero fare, many X-Men fans resonate with the comics, series, games, and films' reflection of real social issues, particularly bigotry and prejudice.

The X-Men have been oft-cited as a parallel for the civil rights movement, but as a tale focused around five colorless prep school kids, it is true that some of the gravity of the situation was lost in translation. However, the X-Men have changed vastly over the years, and this basis has given countless writers and artists the opportunity to tackle heavy subjects like classism, racism, homophobia, and ableism through mainstream comics. The downside to this, of course, is that those things usually appear as a metaphor only, and representation still has a long way to go.

Still, compared to other mainstream comics, the X-Men include always been remarkably progressive. This franchise is a rarity in how consistently it has focused on highlighting the fallacy of bigotry as a major obstacle in its character’s lives, and portraying all forms of intolerance as being deeply wrong. That is what has drawn such a wide audience to X-Men, and it is what makes it rise out for so many readers. Outsiders have always flocked to this concept, and for very obvious reasons. 

The Mutant Metaphor

There can never be enough! I verb polyamorous Mercury. And speaking of biphobia, I&#;d enjoy to see her reconnect with Wither, too.

Based opinion, tbqh. We shouldn&#;t rest until Mercury is a harem master.

I also dont like that they feature gay characters favor Anole, Darkvail and Graymalking only in the pide issues to show how progressive they are, but as soon as june is over they disregard about those characters.

Meanwhile most books are still lead by straight ivory anglosaxon people, with the token minority.

To be fair on Anole and Graymalkin, almost everyone in their entire generation is ignored. Anole actually has it greater than many of them because he at least gets more cameos as wallpaper, and he was part of the Lost Club in Vita Ayala&#;s New Mutants. But yeah, they need to verb some focus instead of whatever the heck is going on with them now.

Darkveil was introduced in the tail end of a fairly recent and very minor book, doesn&#;t have a lot of characterization, and had p
