Havok and Wolverine are part of the Uncanny Avengers now.

The real X-Men think they're full of crap.

Yeah I read the Kitty part before she's my favorite X-man and I thought it was pretty awesome, but yeah I just didn't know about Wolvie being in on this.

Wolverine has been a mutant for nearly two hundred years, and if I understand things correctly, there haven't been enough mutants to make a mutant community for more than fifty years.

I thought until House of M his memories only went back to when he escaped from Weapon X and was found in the woods by the Hudsons?

Entirely possible. I'm not thoroughly versed in all the intricacies of canon, so I probably shouldn't be in this discussion.

It's how it happeend, but he has his memories back now so it's moot anyway.

Again that's a pretty clear parallel to the queer community(ies), excluding the fact that we don't have semi-immortal hipsters who can complain about not having queer friends to hang out with a century ago. That might actually explain where Wolverine is coming from as a character if I thought this was actually about the characters rather than just using them as mouthpieces for certain writers.

Yeah, when Remender had Wanda lecture Rogue about Havok's speech it became pretty clear they were just being used as his mouthpiece.

That was more of the fox movieverse though. The x-men were originally written as racial minority parallels and that application should also be considered unless you want to go death of an author on this.

Mutants were also written as a parallel for gay people before the movies came out.

They were really written to stand in for any oppressed minority, and they really started touching on Queer issues long before the movies, the Legacy Virus was a stand-in for AIDS for example (a clunkly handled one). There was one story where a cemetary refused to bury a Mutant because it was against their religion and so on.

But in the case of examining if there is a mutant culture, the queer community is a better example to look too, I think just because it more closely parallels how a mutant culture must have developed.
