Growing up, X-Men, Batman, and the Amazing Spiderman were my favorite comic book series. Today, X-Men is my clear favorite, and I have yet to read all of the new Jean Grey novels by Dennis Hopeless.

X-Men
The X-Men movies are some of the best films ever made. So many philosophical questions are covered in the series. For example, what laws, if any, should be passed for people considered superior to others? Should people who are different be controlled in any way? If so, how? To what extent do others without unique characteristics have to bend to accommodate a minority with special traits? I could continue ad infinitum.
Here's one of my favorite scenes, from X-Men 2:
Storm: Sometimes anger can help you survive.
Nightcrawler: So can faith.
For whatever reason, this exchange is electrifying in the film.
