The X-men serve to protect a world that hates and fears them for the hope that one day mutants and humans can live in harmony. However, it seems that just protecting people is not enough. Granted, there are some humans who are on mutankind's side and are grateful, but there are a whole lot of people who are not. There needs to be some additional approaches for the dream to become a reality. Do you have any ideas that might help make the human population more acceptable to mutants? For example; I would have the x-men be more obliged to help other minorities who face discrimination such as gays, blacks, Jews, Muslims and etc. Standing up for them and befriending their respective communities as equal as the mutant community will probably put or begin to put the mutant race in a more positive light.

Use the power of the internet and broadcasting. People are afraid of what they don't understand, so offer them a chance too. Over time I would hope people will realize they aren't that different. Though it seems like mutants have tried just about everything.

Run for President... if Obama can do it why not a mutant X-Man!?

I'm not sure if a political party would accept them, and without the Democrat or Republican label a candidate has no chance at president and even if they did an entirely human electoral college probably wouldn't vote for them.

It was a joke... Maybe I should have finished off my statement with a "LMAO" or a "lol."

If I could I would never tell :p

@papad1992: @Blood1991:

Actually, these may have been in Alt. Universes but both Kitty Pryde and David Alleyne have proven to be successful (well, David for the most part) presidents of the United States, somewhere along the way.

So it could happen. And it'd be Kitty.

I dont really want the X-Men to be more accepted, its what makes them diffrent

I remember when Prodigy became president... but not Kitty!

@papad1992: Yeah, i'd like to think it was a good run.

Kitty was president in X-Men The End, if i recall correctly.

Really? She'd make a great president. Never read X-Men: The End!

Have Professor X kill every human on Earth. Then mutants kill be accepted.

Join the military. No seriously. The military has been a one of the most powerful forces for social integration, despite various setbacks on these issues, such as DADT. If Scott Summers had signed up and served with distinction instead of creating his own teenage paramilitary organization, that probably would've meant more in the long run.

Although I supposed the in-continuity argument against that are examples like the Weapon X program where joining up means being covered up and possibly experimented on.

I'm going to go with "blow stuff up less".

But seriously, mutants will gain acceptance the same way every else does, showing that they have the same wants, needs, interests, hobbies, etc as everyone else.

And blowing stuff up less.

Send the mutants to destroy the worlds religious symbols

I totally agree with this guy, but back on subject my suggestion would be doing more stuff like X factor, all through out history Xavier has preached living WITH humans, but yet they always Isolate themselves, even his school was hidden and only accepted other mutants (yes i know it eventually got outed but for the most part) so actually doing normal stuff instead of being super heroes. Going out joining, military, police forces, Cannonball once in Xtreme X men left his place in the X men temp to help some guys clear out a tunnel that had caved in. Everyone loved him (but hated mutants) at the end he had to out himself ot save some one and they were ok with it. YOu need to get people to like indivuals so they have something to relate to, and not just the fear that people like magneto have generated over the years

Realistically? Well how did African Americans get accepted into Western Culture? Professor X = MLK Magneto= Malcolm X

1 Become a gospel choir and make some deep, meaningful songs.

2 Go around half-naked ( Emma Frost must have the same idea) and preach peaceful co-existence whilst fasting.

3 Take over the world.

4 Get everyone to hate someone else, like Estate Agents or Scottish people (Joking. Love Scottish people! Not Estate Agents though).

Definitely this XD

Use Their Powers for the Good of Other People

Most superhuman powers serve no practical purpose, but there are mutants who could use their powers to benefit humankind and the Earth as a whole. Ororo, for example, could help reforest the Amazon by providing rain, increase the yield growing seasons in starving parts of the world and work with scientists to study reinvigorating the atmosphere - instead, she throws lightning bolts at crooks. Jean could use her telepathy and empathy to help mentally ill patients recover, use her telekinesis in concert with doctors to fix severe trauma, such as broken backs, fractured legs or splintered spines, or even remove pollution from bodies of water and soil - but instead she is chasing mad scientists. Logan could be rescuing people lost in extremely hazardous regions, since his regeneration would prevent him from dying, as well as use his claws to remove hazards. While I understand that certain mutants with useful powers are so busy trying to survive that they can't use their powers for the greater good, they would be more accepted if they worked alongside groups such as the Fantastic Four/Future Foundation, Doctor's Without Borders and even local community outreach efforts instead of spending their time moaning about their existence. If they were less selfish and tried to do something besides defend themselves or fight crime, I think it would be harder for governments to convince the population that they are a threat.

I never understood the whole mutants being hated more than other heroes? if anything resentment would come to both from the masses? in my mind metas and mutants are the same yet for some reason get it so bad? they should just be like hey look at those god/metas/techo-powerd guys they are like us (and then everyone will be hated equally the way it should be. (maybe the mutants just take it more personally too?) Has cyclops really had it that bad? free schooling, shoots lazers from his eyes, gets multiple cool looking outfits for free, has a kick ass jet, and sleeps with all the cute girls at his school.... oh gawd the horror?

I mean ya they keep it going to push the whole equality/discrimination angle but in all honesty it would have gotten better for them after people saw them do the good things they do. there is no difference if a mutant were to kill someone or a normal human. i'm over this whole storyline.

Yep. Sick of it, too. Honestly, I think they should stick with exploring racial and sexual discrimination because the whole 'mutants are hated and feared' thing has been played out since the '70s. After a bunch of superheroes and supervillains started appearing, it made sense to persecute a minority of another minority population the majority of whom don't seek out their powers or desire power to lord over other people.

X men legacy got it right with rogue helping to save the people trapped in the subway after dark phoenix attacked. So took the knowledge of the first responders to make sure she could help.

Things like that could go a long way to helping.

Problem is that series run on angst and current 'relevant' social issues

Or create world war 3, win and make new world order to establish a seat like america did after WW2
