Would your MC’s agree with Magneto from Marvel comics

[CrimsonGenius]

Mine would understand after… the events in both the comics and the cartoon continuation. They wouldn’t join him but they understand why.

Mind summarizing his points?

Form IGN:

Professor X and Magneto, created in the '60s, were modeled after Martin Luther King, Jr. and Malcolm X, respectively. Both want the same thing -- a world where mutants are accepted members of society who can live without fear. Granted, from time to time (and writer to writer), Magneto's aspirations are a bit more selfish and grandiose. But fundamentally they want the same thing. The two just have very different ideas of how to achieve this end.
Xavier strongly believes that the only way to live peacefully with Homo Sapien is to show that while mutants may sometimes look different, they are still human beings. Aggression only serves to escalate confrontations with humans and further alienate mutants from the vast populace. Though the X-Men often use their powers in combat, they do so almost solely against other powered beings or as a last resort against humans.

Magneto has no desire to go quietly to camps and be exterminated by humans. To him, the only way to fight human aggressors is with a show of power. If someone throws a bottle at a mutant, that mutant should throw a car at the human. It isn't that (most of the time) Magneto wants to subjugate the human race, but he sees no reason to suffer a single abuse when his power and those of his brethren can put an immediate (if temporary) stop to an act of hatred against mutants.

I don't know if I can agree with someone who says "homo superior."

Emrys would get the idea, but think it short sighted. Especially in a world like the Marvel Universe where non-mutant superhumans are actually pretty common, mutants don’t have so much of an advantage that they can steamroll everyone else.
Instead, he should do what the real Jews did: take over a small part of a war torn region by force, kick out the locals, and build a nation that caters specifically and exclusively to mutant issues over the interests of anyone else.
Is it a pure and good solution? Hell no.
Would it make him popular on an international stage? Probably not unless he was willing to play ball with world superpowers.
Would it have a higher chance of working than random and mostly reactive terrorism against western countries? Probably. Latveria is doing just fine.

Absolutely. Leuen is the type of person to not just believe the whole "A child not embraced by the village will burn it down to feel its warmth" thing, he'd be the guy giving out torches.
