Magneto Was Right or Xavier Was Right… Partisan Politics in NYX #4

Magneto Was Right or Xavier Was Right... Partisan Politics in NYX #4 by Collin Kelly, Jackson Lanzing and Enid Balam (Spoilers)



Article Summary

  • Prodigy resurfaces in NY X academia, sparking debates on mutant rights and societal allegories.
  • NYX #4 tackles partisan politics, echoing real-world divides with mutant allegory.
  • David Alleyne confronts past ties with the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants for academic insight.
  • Mutants in NYC face a conspiracy; Prodigy covers their backs with knowledge and strategy.

Prodigy was an X-Men for about five minutes until he was killed on the island of Krakoa at the third Hellfire Gala by attacking Stark Sentinels from Orchis. Well, he made his way back, resurrected before the mutants of Krakoa left for Valinor. Sorry, those were the Elves, I meant the White Hot Room. Now he has found his calling in New York academia. But it seems you can take the man out of Krakoa, but not Krakoa out of the man. And he has lectures to write. And, quite well timed, a challenge to partisan thinking… in his case, Xavier War Right or Magneto Was Right, but could, I guess, be applied to Kamala Is Like, Right or Trump Is Right, He's The Most Right There Is, Everyone Is Saying It.

Of course, NYX has another Kamala to deal with in NYC. Portaryed, when it comes to mutants, as "one of the good ones". With Professor David Alleyre, to give Prodigy his human name, dealing with a legacy of the Brotherhood Of Evil Mutants  in both an academic and a practical fashion.
