Honestly, there's like, five total mutants that are inherently dangerous (as opposed to mutants who are bad because they are bad people and use their powers for bad things). And I agree that it was a bad idea to make mutants that are inherently dangerous, at least for the civil rights metaphor. It does sort of make it messy. But I think the general thrust of it is still good? Because none of those characters are particularly prominent? Except Rogue, I guess, but she has ways of managing her powers without causing harm.
Like I get your criticism, but I stand by my point that some X-Men stories have been good.
