I remember falling in love with the early movies based off of these comics as well as the TV shows; my favorite character of all was the shapeshifter by the name "Mystique".

Imagine every night being the blackest of nights, where even the police do not stop the criminals lurking in the corners. This is the world in Anthony Burgess’s A Clockwork Orange, where a dystopian society in which juvenile delinquents roam free to terrorize the night is chronicled.

Lou Bloom: That's my job, that's what I do, I'd like to think if you're seeing me you're having the worst day

The producers and screenwriters of X-men films disseminated a traditional patriarchal roles in which women are dominated by men. Males are depicted as having the qualities of strength, courage, confidence and the ability to be at the frontline to defeat any intruders or villains.
