world.in same cases mutants want to be know as mutants, they insist they have a mutant culture. + not all mutants are heroes and most can't even be heroes since they have no powers and are just born ugly. some want to do jobs but they want to do jobs with their powers, like demolishing buildings but than construction crew complains that 1 guy is taking all their jobs. Xmen are an organization like the avengers or the brotherhood so the institution often comes under fire one of them or an ex member does something crazy(and there are a lot of ex member since they have a revolving door) hell magneto the Ex leader of the brotherhood of evil mutants has been in Xmen for years now (mascot front and center) Im not sure if X force is main continuity(I think it is) but having death squads does not help the Xmen brand, nor the fact prof X was a douche who enslaved robots. at the end of the day there are only so many times genosha can rise and fall before an average man says "kill em all and let god sort it out"
