5. Heroes while being hated

Every superhero team has had moments of bad press. Even the Justice League and the Fantastic Four have received bad press. Nevertheless, no team has been as hated as the X-Men.

Marvel’s Mightiest Mutants could save the multiverse with every being watching and people would still be skeptical. Skeptics would say it’s another mutant trick and hate them even more. All of this is because they were born differently. Yet, time and again, they go out and save everyone.

4. They never get credit

Like all the best superhero teams, the X-Men are an intergalactic superteam. The difference here is they don’t get a parade after saving the day. The Avengers, Justice League, and Fantastic Four are known as universal saviors. Meanwhile, the X-Men are perceived as menaces. However, they never stop saving the day.

Even after leaving and establishing Krakoa, the mutants continued to try and make everyone’s lives easier. That includes still traveling to other planets and assisting them. They went as far as to establish a new version of S.W.O.R.D. to assist beyond Earth. A thank you would be nice, but they’ll never get one.
