So if you look at Marvels X Men, specifically the characters of magneto and xavier as a parallel for civil rights figures. Its actually very damning

Charles Xaviers goal is to form a school where mutants can safely learn without threat of violence from the human populous. Segregated from the human populpus.populous. forming a militant group that extra judicially polices... evil supervillain mutants. Like magneto.

Magneto on the flip also segregates his militant group but not as a means of education or passing, but to train for an armed uprising against the human populace. Not as a fight for equality but for supremacy. When this is taken to a natural extreme, the character is retconned

This was the view of centrist creatives at the time. The creators often cited the Civil rights discourse as motivators for the creation of these characters. Specifically Malcolm x for magneto and Martin Luther King Jr for Charles Xavier.

But even if attamting to make an action story different enough to where one on one parallels cannot be drawn. Writers bias gets baked into the foundation of the story. Worse yet this authorial intent is taught and becomes apart of geek culture. Unconscious bias taught as viable

So to all the creative out there, please consider what you reference carefully. Even if you intend to take surface elements and not say anything at all, you may say something much more damning than had you chosen a different storyline entirely
