    I very much doubt he actually thought of him as a Malcolm X type at the time of his creation. Plus Jack Kirby probably did most of the work creating Magneto anyway. Plus X-Men was a third-string comic until Chris Claremont started writing it.

      Exactly

      So either Stan Lee thought Malcolm X was some sort of black supremacist supervillain or he's stealing credit from Claremont

      He was an absolute shitheel
