    Actually since we now know that the VS series doesn't mean permanent KO I think Gambit might win.

    Oh come on, why is Captain America a racist? The last time he called anyone : "An unholy Jap" was seventy years ago in a much less racially sensitive era of comics publishing. Compared to the stuff he used to be written as saying in the actual 1940's, Cap is super-liberal when it comes to the mutant thing.

    Mutants don't want liberal tolerance. There's disgust at the core of tolerance. They want RESPECT.

    America is a nation built on tolerance. Respect is only reserved for things that people can understand or appreciate. Johnny Flat-scan doesn't understand how mutants work, and with all the super-powered brawls and property damage, he sure as shiitake doesn't appreciate them. Tolerance sounds like a pretty sweet goal to shoot for, in my opinion.

    Context! Steve represents the dream of how America is supposed to be, not the ugly reality it so often is. He'd totally march with the mutants on Washington and demand equal liberty for all. This phoenix thing is just mucking everything up.

    Cap has sentinels. He just won't bring them out yet. They're red, white and blue no doubt.

    Didn't the X-Men have an actual sentinel on their team for awhile? A girl?

    Oh, like Norman Osborn never painted his Iron Man armor Red, white, and blue. Stupid government programs always try to co-opt noble ideas to excuse horrible actions. I could totally see Bolivar telling his people to call his mutant grinder death-o-matic baby blender a 'sentinel' in order to sell people on the idea of mutant grinder death-o-matic baby blenders.

    She was pulled off the street and forcibly operated upon and made into a human sentinel. The X-Men were helping her to reclaim her agency.

    That was a joke, the SENTINEL of liberty?
    I gather you missed the Sentinel of liberty reference? That is like saying the noose of liberty to a mutants,

    He didn't seem to mind that thew SHRA was repealed but the MRA stood. He did not bother to make a comment much less march.

    Did you miss the part where I wrote: "context" with an exclamation point at the end? As in implying he was using the nickname out of context when he facetiously wrote: "lol all that in defense of a man whose title evokes the name of machines used in the mutant genocide. mmmhmm" I don't recall an army of giant mutant killing robots being called Caps, shield-slingers, or Star-spangled avengers, so honestly, I think I'm good.

    He didn't seem to mind that thew SHRA was repealed but the MRA stood. He did not bother to make a comment much less march.
    And when was the last time anyone used the MRA as a plot-point?
