    That’s the definition of a new species however. Until Rogue’s progeny can no longer have viable offspring with anyone except themselves, they aren’t a separate species, let alone genus. This is why dog breeds aren’t different species. They may be different, but they can still have children together that can go on to have other children.

            As I get older, I come to realize that Magneto and Xavier needed each other. Both of their philosophies were required. Peaceful resistance must recognize when violence is needed to maintain peace and safe lives. Violent resistance must recognize it is the last tool, not the first, and that you can win many hearts and minds with peaceful methods. Peaceful resistance will otherwise die a quiet death as all are killed, and violent resistance will otherwise die a loud death as all are killed. The former inspires support by those who cannot believe the inhumanity of the opposition. The latter inspires support by survivors who launch guerilla attacks.

            But neither succeed.
