Please list at least 5 parts of your identity (some examples are age/age-range, gender, race, religion, personality, family relationship, nationality, mental and physical health status, occupation and many more-anything that represents the many facets of you). After you list at least 5 identity markers, please list mutants who represent that part of you.
You can list as many as you want and the mutant listed doesn't have to be your favorite, but if they are your favorites or they resonate with you, please make a note. This will be a way to see the many different types of people on the board and also see what identities are represented among our merry mutants. I'll start and model, but please feel free to do your own thing. You can also share what you learned by doing this.
1. BLACK-Synch (One of my favorites), Bishop, Storm)
2. MALE-Cyclops (My favorite)
3. GAY-Iceman (I came out later in life like adult Bobby), Northstar, Anole
4. ARTIST-Colossus (I always loved when he was shown painting)
5. EDUCATOR/SCHOOL LEADER-Professor Xavier (I've been in education for 30 years)
6. MIDDLE-AGED-Magneto (One of my favorites)
7.BROODING/ANGSTY-Magik (One of my favorites)
8. INTELLIGENT/HIGH-ACHIEVING-Monet (One of my favorites), Kid Omega
9. AMERICAN-Havok, Boom Boom
10. OLDER BROTHER-Cyclops (Again, my favorite superhero of any franchise)
So, I noticed that most of my favorite characters are directly related to a piece of my identity.
