I mean, make they could have had Magento with the one with X in her name if he was modeled on Malcolm X. I said it was sloppy. I didn't say it was wrong.
Magento just preyed on disenfranchisement mutants with charisma. Malcolm X had more going on than that.
A lot of problems I may have have more to do with it being a cape comicbook story. Any character arc that Magento has would be reset eventually.
