No they weren't. And no one wants to see a race swapped Professor X or Magneto. If thats the case make Bucky Black Panther and make the Blue Marvel a white boy.And make Magneto this dude.
They were based off Malcolm and Martin anyway

Apparently they were based on Israeli leaders David Ben-Gurion and Menachem Begin. Either way the way their relationship developed is most analogous to Martin and Malcolm by American standards.No they weren't.
No they weren't.they were
They were based on the Doom Patrol. Comic books weren't that deep in 1963 and Magneto was a straight up villain prior to God Loves. Man Kills. So what does that say about Stan Lee's interpretation of Malcolm X if Magneto is based on him?Not as evolved as you may think but they were loosely based on both Malcolm and Martin
So I guess that would make Cyclops Jesse Jackson and Wolverine who Al Sharpton?Apparently they were based on Israeli leaders David Ben-Gurion and Menachem Begin. Either way the way their relationship developed is most analogous to Martin and Malcolm by American standards.
That said, they really just started off as your typical hero-villain dichotomy and the other stuff came later.
For the record I agreed with you.So I guess that would make Cyclops Jesse Jackson and Wolverine who Al Sharpton?
that's 10yrs. lateWhat I wrote was according to Chris Claremont's statement on what he based Magneto's backstory on.
We know he didn't base it on Malcolm X and Martin Luther King. Giant sized X-men came out in 1975 right around the time when Black Panther took on the KKK and "Man-Ape in "Jungle Action" comics. "Jungle Action comics" I'm going to let that marinate for awhile. Man-ape!!!For the record I agreed with you.

You're not telling me anything I don't already know, b. I mentioned Giant-Size X-Men earlier in this thread in another context. Magneto, of course, predates GSXM and Claremont; as I agreed with you earlier neither character was based on Martin and Malcolm.We know he didn't base it on Malcolm X and Martin Luther King.
