Black Liberation Media | Myth: Prof. X and Magneto are based on MLK and Malcolm X @BlackLiberationMedia | Uploaded July 2024 | Updated October 2024, 4 hours ago.
In this episode, we return with the full Black Myths Crew to discuss the myth that X-men comic characters Professor X and Magneto of X-Men are based on Martin Luther King Dr. and Malcolm X. We attempted to have fun with this episode. However, research still unveiled some troubling truths about the origin of this myth. We trace the origins of the myth, analyze the limitations of pop culture as a prism for Black political thought, and examine the impact the military-industrial complex plays in the movies we watch.
