I've only seen the movies and TV adapations.

I read a handfil of comics but not enough to be knowledgable except that Cyclops is a dick.

But in the movies and TV shows Xavier is literally capable of destroying all life on Earth within 100 seconds.

In X-Men 2 he's "drugged" with the ease of drugging a kitten and almost kills all humans withing seconds and is barely stopped. That's ALL of them, the entire planet worth. Every single one. In seconds.

This isn't our "world" this is a world where random civilians at any time could be capable of wiping out all life on the planet in an instant.... And the guy who says "Hey we should find out who is able to do this and have a record and safeguards in place to protect literally everyone." is the bad guy?

I mean sure it's not "nice" but it seems necessary.

Christ I feel like there's a couple of people on CE who if they had that power would have wiped out all life on Earth.

Now imagine someone in the Taliban having it or one of the Jan 6ers having it or a Nazi having it. Imagine if Andrew Tate had it.

Yes I know it's an on the nose metaphor for the civil rights movement but there's a difference between different color skin and literally being able to destroy all life on Earth in moments.

Sure it sucks for Jubilee that her "privacy right" for people not to know that she can fart fireworks out of her ass is violated but within THIS SPECIFIC context, X-men planet Earth, not our Planet Earth, that seems entirely reasonable.

If I could fart fireworks out of my ass I wouldn't mind that people knew if it meant all humans on Earth weren't all killed by a lunatic one day.
