Even as a Christian, I still think it’s unfair that Harry Potter got all the flack while X-Men got off scott-free. No pun intended. I mean if you look at the X-Men comics more closely, there’s a strongly anti-Christian worldview that most people (even most Christians) ignore. Not just because it promotes the things Christians hate or fight against like evolution, but also because there are a lot of LGBT characters there, polyamory and openly demonic characters. The character Illyana Rasputin sometimes looks like a demon, practises magic and is one of the good guys. I personally feel you don’t see that many Christians protesting against X-Men is really because Satan works in much subtler ways than that.
It doesn’t have to be something that’s openly evil, all he has to do is use something as innocent as superheroes to seduce the unsuspecting. It takes a more sophisticated form of grooming to grab attention, even though its anti-Christian philosophy becomes more evident not just in having an openly demonic heroine but also because we see churches getting destroyed and Christians demonised in the world of X-Men. Almost no other superhero comic does this, actually not even Harry Potter has come close to doing this despite its use of magic. If you go over to Spirit Reports, you have people saying that demons can appear as superheroes. Satan can appear as an angel of light, it’s not a stretch that he can appear as a superhero when he wants to.
The fact that Christians have ignored the X-Men for so long makes you wonder how subtle the Devil gets away with influencing people, it’s pretty much why for all of Angelica Zambrano’s talk about demons appearing as Ben10 characters not a lot of Christians protest against superheroes the way they do with Harry Potter. Not to mention there are even testimonies by Christians who say that demons behind superhero comics make people queer or something, which explains why so many of them do smutty fanfictions based on the stories they like. There must be something wrong with them, even though so many Christians sleep over them. Almost to the point where the Devil successfully gets their attention, because it appears so innocent they don’t even suspect it.
Not saying you should be entirely against superheroes, but that you really have to be more careful around them. Especially if Satan’s tactics are subtler than this, to the point where if you’re going to avoid Harry Potter because it’s anti-Christian you should also avoid X-Men. In fact, you should avoid superhero media featuring openly demonic characters. If because this is how the Devil gets his way into people’s lives, he can make demons appear in superhero media when he wants to. They can even appear as superheroes themselves, be it Blue Devil or Illyana Rasputin herself. It doesn’t have to openly feature magic to have demons, if because demons sometimes deploy subtler methods than that.
It doesn’t get any subtler than using a superhero comic, which sadly only a few Christians have warned against.
