I read somewhere that Xavier was likened as MLK and Magneto as Malcom X.

Malcom was very problematic in many ways but he does make a lot of correct assements about the dynamics of oppression. Given Malcolm's background mixed with his unabashed stubbornness I give him respect. He was wrong about a lot of things but he wasn't afraid to stand up to anyone and have strong convictions.

There's a school of thought that MLK was successful and appealing because Malcolm X's alternative was unpalatable.
