I said early in this thread there needs to be a big public event that puts the fear of mutants into people for the whole "hate and fear" angle to make sense. I am talking a mutant causing the same amount of damage as what went down in Avengers: Age of Ultron. Something like Proteus or Exodus destroying a city all by themselves and screaming something about mutant domination. Mutants being revealed to the public for the first time in a very horrible way.
