Malcolm X is Magneto and Martin Luther King is Professor X

Malcolm X is Magneto and Professor X is Dr. King! And mutants are black folk! Stan Lee and Jack Kirby created the powerful mutant comic book characters during the height of American civil rights movement and used famed civil rights leaders Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X as the inspiration behind the characters Professor X (Charles Xavier) and Magneto (Erik Lehnsherr). https://www.reddit.com/r/badhistory/comments/6c0jsx/professor_x_mlk_magneto_malcolm_x/ https://pdjeliclark.wordpress.com/2015/02/21/on-malcolm-martin-and-that-x-men-analogy-thing/
