Well I certainly hope that "The X-Men are immortal super deities with infinite power and zero stakes" doesn't last too long. People thought death was cheap in comics before, with the X-Men it's literally worthless.

One could also argue the X-Men being elite cosmopolitan supergods undercuts the minority metaphors. "Racially destined rulers of the earth" doesn't quite match up.
