mostly isolated to their own kind. However, one group of mutants has banded together to show the world that the word should not be associated with X-Men.

X-Men and Oppression In the “X-Men” movie, there are great examples of oppression that can be related to many past and present events. The most relevant event that is similar to the way the mutants were treated, is how Adolf Hitler made people of the Jewish descent wear Yellow Stars of David so they could be identified.

The movie X-Men by Bryan Singer and the novel Chrysalids by John Wyndham both share many similarities in character traits, conflicts, themes, and essence of settings.

X2: X-Men United The ultimate test of a good sequel is its ability to stand alone. X2: X-Men United passes this test with flying colors.
