Abstract

Invented in 1963 by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, the X-Men comics have traditionally been viewed as a metaphor for diversity parallel to the battle for racial equality of the Civil Right Movement. The central theme of the comics has always been the conflict between identity and otherness, which has been developed exploring the clash between the dream of a peaceful coexistence between human and mutants envisioned by the founder of the group Charles Xavier, and the mutant’s revolt against humanity advocated by his historical nemesis Magneto. Starting from this premise, this contribution aims to investigate the use of constitutional law within the saga.
