From classic X-Men like Kitty Pryde and Iceman to offbeat side characters like Deadpool and Anole, there are more and more queer mutants every day. The X-Men have been oft-cited as a parallel for the civil rights movement, but as a tale focused around five white prep school kids, it is true that some of the gravity of the situation was lost in translation.
