Human= human no x gene
Homo superior= human with x gene
This difference is real because of the ill treatment of one over the other. I am not seeing what is hard to understand here. They are not the same because humans have not treated them the same.
When they talk about being better than humans they are saying they are not going to treat people the same way that humans have treated them.
Generations of being told they are not human and that they are less then so they choose to accept that they are not human and view it in a positive and will treat people better than how humanity has treated them.
Again it's all nice paper to just say they are human but when they are not treated the same it's not something they can accept.

No, actually. They've said things like suspicion, jealousy, and embarrassment are "human" emotions that they are "above". That has nothing to do with treating anyone in any way.
So black people who have been treated for generations as not human should choose to accept that they are not human, are actually above humanity, and will replace it?Generations of being told they are not human and that they are less then so they choose to accept that they are not human and view it in a positive and will treat people better than how humanity has treated them.

You walked right into the point and missed it.
Black people choose to embrace the main thing that separated them from the white people that oppressed them which was their skin color. That became their unifying marker even though they came from many tribes.
The X gene is the unifying marker for mutants which they embrace. Homo superior is embracing that difference.
The emotion thing is what I've told you a bunch of times now. They are going to work to treat people better than how they were treated all those emotions can lead to people acting very badly which mutants have felt. And yes mutants can act on those emotions too before you waste your time writing that.
Right I don't even know why I responded to this thread I already knew what was waiting xD
A mutant who gets their powers supressed by one of the dozens or plus ways to cancel their powes (including other mutants being born with the powers to do so) or worse depowered, will in the majority of cases revert to being a regular human (the others usualy result in death as their bodies can't function without unnatural support), including somehow reverting from being living anorganic substances.
No other human related offshot group or humanoid alien species with natural super powers has this degree of weakness to the source of their super powers or "factory reset setting" which they will default to without powers regardless of physical alteration.
For example a mutant who is turned to living stone will always be an altered being, rather than being a natural form of living stone (as some alien or magical species) and if they can somehow reproduce their children will too remain altered beings, always in danger of having their entire physical form endangered by sources that will cancel their X-gene (which somehow still affect a being who has no DNA in their altered form).
That's not much ground to really declare themself something else entirely than human. Especialy collectively as there is no uniform difference between the rest of humanity and mutants, beyond the mentioned fragile super power source.
The percieved grand difference between humans and mutants is an illusion, entirely based around one group having a natural source of super powers and the other requiring an artifical source, but in both cases these super powers are not properly "fixed" in their natural existence that they would be impossible to remove like the Skrull's shape shifting ability.
Mutants are indeed still human to the core. Or as i described it a while ago. Human+1 (or +6 in case of Omegas).
For added irony the idea of replacing the term "wise" (sapiens) with "better" (superior) when trying to create a taximonal seperation between normal humans and mutants, essentialy confirms that unpowered humans are still the baseline by which the mutants would be defined, instead of having a term that describes their own quality.

And this makes them inherently superior to humans how? You haven't explained that.
No, you didn't say one word about the emotion thing. And it's very clear that they're not supposed to act on those emotions, what are you talking about?The emotion thing is what I've told you a bunch of times now. They are going to work to treat people better than how they were treated all those emotions can lead to people acting very badly which mutants have felt.

Oh, I honestly think the X-editors just forgot Exodus was French. The lineup has a lot of varied looks in the people. Also... if you actually look at ethnicity... some are actually Middle Eastern.,,, sort of.... And Mystique's actual ethnicity is unknown last I heard... but....
Realistically, it's about out-of-universe prominence of characters. They're characters who've been in the books for decades.
I think this statement again highlights the limits of the mutant metaphor. The ''homo superior'' aspect of mutants is a valid part of the X-men franchise and has been since its inception. But it doesn't work well with the metaphor of mutants as minorities and oppressed people. And that's fine, if we accept the fact that the ''mutant metaphor'' is just one interpretation of the franchise, but not the dominant one or the only one like a lot of people believe.
Im not sure how...it's a StrawMan
Some may interpret this as being extremely frustrated and afraid minorities might somehow think they're equal or b-b-better than their previous stations in life
Why this need to control the interpretation?
Bruh it seems the only people proclaiming Mutants as Superior to humans are you qnxa few folks in this thread lol
