Friends of Humanity
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Friends of Humanity are one of the many anti-mutant hate groups in the Marvel Universe. Notable anti-mutant activists such as one time presidential-hopeful Graydon Creed and the robotic Bastion were among its members. The organazion is based on and very similar to real life white supremacy organizations and groups like the Neo-Nazis and the Ku Klux Klan.
[edit] Origins
Friends Of Humanity is a group started by Graydon Creed. He and his disciples have caused damage on many occasions, whenever there is a possibility to harm mutant rights, and bring back The Mutant Registration Act.
Groups inspired by or splintered from the Friends of Humanity include the survivalist Humanity's Last Stand, and the religious fundamentalist Church of Humanity.
[edit] Ultimate Marvel
Friends of Humanity appear in Ultimate X-Men, where they still hold anti-mutant sentiments, attacking a hospital because it offered support to mutant children living in poverty. Ironically, after the Friends are taken down the leader himself is revealed to be a mutant (who was either unaware or in denial of his mutation) who almost defeats the X-Men, only to be stopped by Magician. Next, the Friends of Humanity are seen fighting with Morlock member Pyro, who is saved from them by Nightcrawler.
