    I know about avengers vs xmen event, but I guess I'm looking for reasons before that. I was reading Remender's Uncanny X-Force and they seem to have quite a resentment to the avengers. Is it just because since M-Day, none of the avengers really seem to think their mutant cause is that serious? Is there a specific storyline that would be good for explaining some of this?

    Thanks guys.

    As you said the avengers don't understand or seem to think the mutant cause is important. They do tend to treat them as second citizens at the best of times.

    The X-Men are mad at everyone.

    Like Spider-Man said, "for people who are feared and hated, they sure are fearful and hatey. "

    In all honesty I would be jaded towards them as well. There is a bunch of mutant hate going on, and I rarely see stories of the avengers looking in to it. They watch as sentinels get built up and released...

    At the same time they hate anyone who isn't a mutant lately. Storm was an absolute B to spider-man, and the general public hates him too... Ice man even gave him the cold shoulder and they were bros as one point... the whole "you don't understand what we go through" is a bs statement to make towards him. Once he unmasked everyone was gunning for him....

    Ah ok. I always wondered about spiderman as well. Or people that just happen to have powers but aren't technically mutants. Seems like people should hate all super powered beings instead of just mutants. You all make good points.

    The Avengers tend to be insensitive toward mutants and don't do a lot for their cause.

    Yep, for a group calling themselves "Avengers" what did they do when Genosha was wiped out? Although the chip on the collective shoulder of the XMen kind of makes it a 'chicken vs egg' scenario.

    Because they don't respond to mutant issues as a priority-- which is understandable, but comes off as ignorant to the X-Men and as everyone has slightly put it, they like looking for reasons to b*tch about how undermined they are (in crossovers anyway). And tbh, the Avengers only care when called upon or are interfered with. Like, I read Second Coming not too long ago and kinda rolled my eyes when Cap was saying he wasn't going to let the X-Men die. Where the heck has he been?

    And the Avengers have called upon the X-Men for global threats but rarely do they do much in return. Until the last few years of course. Kinda.

    While I think the writers are kind of forcing the animosity between the two teams, having one team (The Avengers) mention they take care of their own when they do bad and yet expect others to do as they say, not as they do, it can be a bit much.

    I think them taking Red Skull into custody, even after all that crap with supposedly integrating with the mutants was a big step in that direction as well. Don't get me wrong, I was pro Cap during the whole AvX thing, but it wasn't without being aware of the hypocrisy on his part (and others).

    To be honest, I hated the whole Avengers vs X-Men. Still do. But like a wise person already said, (@darling_luna) because writers.

    Imo, the X-Men seem to embrace the whole "nobility of being the victim", are sensitive to the point of reactionary to every mutant issue, while often being intolerant to those are not mutants. (I think the writers play a lot of this up to create the tenseness and the drama)

    In their defense, the US government has sponsored programs to kill or hunt mutants in the past, and the Avengers tend to work closely with the government.

    Also, it was an Avenger (and mutant!) who did the whole 'no more mutant' thingy.

    Either because the Avengers have historically proven to be sh*tty friends, or just because superheroes are all d*cks these days
