I agree, OP.

To all the people whining about racism - there is a very practical difference that falls through the metaphor. Non-mutants can't inherently do anything. Being black doesn't mean you have the power to murder a lot of people or whatever. Having a weapon of mass destruction does. If people have powers that are akin to dangerous weapons, I should think they ought to register like anyone else who owns a weapon.

Yes, it sucks. Yes, real life mutants should have rights, etc. But in this very hypothetical scenario, it's people with weapons inherent inside of them, and there's no reason why people shouldn't register their powers. It's not the same as racism or homophobia or whatever, not beyond a very simplified comic metaphor.

I really do not get it. The discrimination allegory works. But the powers themselves are not part of the allegory. I have never in my life seen a minority manipulate another minority into using his mind control powers to control ANOTHER minority with mind control powers so that that person could climb into a special machine he can use with his mind to commit mass genocide.

And some people genuinely think in this completely fictitious universe we shouldn't at least have their completely fictitious names scribbled on a completely fictitious piece of paper somewhere? No one is going to pass a law ordering gays to register because 'this comic book said so.'
