Was Xavier walking in '94? I can't remember anymore. If not, what other minority was he supposed to represent?

Thing = Jewish, Jubilee = Chinese, Black Panther = African

I'm not sure the Thing was "officially" Jewish in 1994 yet. He might've just been there to counter (reasonably enough) prejudice against people who just look "different."

Don't know about this, but just wanted to say that the frog/bunnies banner is INCREDIBLY AWESOME.

I think this went along with a comic that came with a kids' meal from Hardee's or Burger King or something. I've got the last issue of the series. The villain is ... a mummy?

Actually, that's pretty neat. I'm always a sucker for comic book characters in PSAs. Like the old one with the Hulk for the children's help hotline or whatever (been a while).

Hutch is right about the kids' meal (and the mummy), wrong about the restaurant. It was part of a Marvel/Pizza Hut promotion.

I think there's a copy of this issue among my brother's comics.

Professor X is there to counter anti-baldism and bias against cross-species dating.

I need a copy of this to go along with my Spider-Man/Power Pack team up that taught me about being touched in a bad place.

Looking back, I'm sure that was just an Illuminati plot.

And Marvel violated all four of those rules during Civil War, didn't they?

That card looks like the template for most of Marvel's current covers.

"Can you please make the characters more disproportionate and in no way reflective of whatever they are supposed to represent? Thanks."

I think they're all there to counter discrimination against crappy art.
