In the MARVEL universe, I never understood why people hated Mutants but....

[TheManInBlack4.0]

I think mutants are more well known among the public.

next stage my ass, its been super power beings just as long as mutant..they both got powers. In Reality The x-men franchise ran out of idea's they should of been moved passed the feared and more of how to live among humans

 

[The Lonious Monk]

This question gets asked a lot, but it shouldn't be that hard to answer honestly. Mutants have been essentially set up as the next wave of human evolution and they are supposed to replace homo sapiens. This was a theme mentioned in the DoFP movie. So right away there is an adversarial relationship set up between the general public and mutants. No such relationship is set up between the public and human superheros. Those characters just represent abherrations, not a growing force that could eventually threaten an entire species.

The marvel general populace as a whole are a bunch of dicks honestly.

The Fantastic Four are probably the only superheroes in 616 Marvel that the gen. public has turned on the least.

Even Captain America has been publicly reviled a couple of times.

Superheroes as a whole there are generally disliked and distrusted, so it makes sense that the average joe would have problems with an entirely new species of superpowered beings popping up randomly (that and the plot demands it).

but what about inhumans? I think Marvel is pushing them to replace mutants in the movie universe

This is the popular theory for why Marvel is making a bunch of people Inhumans.....So that Paramount/Marvel studios can have their own group of "mutants" to base movies/tv shows around since 20th Century Fox has the movie/licensing rights to the X-men Franchise, including the term/plot concept of mutants.
