"As a fictional oppressed minority, mutants are often used as extended metaphors for real-world people and situations." "[mutants] are hated, feared and despised collectively by humanity for no other reason than that they are mutants. So what we have here, intended or not, is a book that is about racism, bigotry and prejudice." (X-Men writer Chris Claremont) So... I say that this can apply for Faunus as well. I'm only talking about the fictional racism aspect of the similarities. ...Also for (usually) having powers superior to humans (Faunus have better vision and senses and other stuff, while X-men are superheroes)

"You realize those were like the worst parts of those movies right?" I do... But look at the thread we're on. This isn't really a top-quality discussion to begin with... :P
