Are there any Mutants respected by the world at large?

[babyblob]

So since they were created The Xmen and other mutants have been feared and hated by the world at large. But are there any mutants that the public respects or loves? I am talking about people who are known to be mutants not people who are loved but not known to be mutants.

I dont mean mutants respected by other heroes. I am talking mutants respected by the government or public.

Those who join the Avengers are more accepted.

Sunfire is a national hero in Japan. Justice is respected in the United States because he offers a conservative and passive image.

[king of hybrids]

Namor definitely is feared and respected

[Laufeyson]

Sunfire is national hero while most of mutants that join Avengers are regarded as hero by people.

[Nazrel]

It's suggested Laura (X-23) and Gabby (Honey Badger/Scout) are.

[Big Joe]

Those who join the Avengers are more accepted.

Sunfire is a national hero in Japan. Justice is respected in the United States because he offers a conservative and passive image.

Banshee saved Japan, I guess he has to be respected there too.

More generally, I'd think Storm is respected quite widely.

I'll save everyone the time. No. The ones who joined the Avengers I treated more fairly but all it really takes is one bad press day for public opinion to swing right the other way

[cranger]

Just looking at the OPs previous thread about respected characters in general, which was pretty much just Captain America, I would say that the world at large is going to have vastly different opinions on super power heroes as a whole and certainly individually. I imagine the in story populace probably feels the same as readers do, and mutants such as Wolverine, Storm and Cyclops certainly are met with respect in general. But, like that other thread, when you put Captain America up as the poster child, no one, certainly not an X-Men, comes close and makes it hard to guess.

I’d say Wolverine is respected and feared. Same with Magneto. Probably Professor X too.
