- Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
- You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.

I figured that the name was intended as a rejection of attempts to convince the humans who thought that mutants were their enemies that they were wrong. "I won't be your hero since you've treated me as a villain." Or maybe a reference to how someone who seeks to embody Nietzsche's master morality will be seen as a villain by those who don't.
It's because Magneto's backstory as a Holocaust survivor came twenty years after his introduction and he just genuinely wanted to do some genocide because he was a eugenicist.
And, also, it's a property for children and adults who grew out of the demographic can't stop overanalyzing the overall plot of "bigotry is bad and so is political violence"
My parade, rained on!
