          The group I will speak for on the panel is the X-Men. The X-Men are from a fictional world in which the “X” gene is a genetic mutation that can cause supernatural abilities in a relatively small amount of people. This becomes a problem in their society, because people without the gene fear the mutants. Science plays a big role in their lives, as one of the main plot points is a controversy over whether the mutants should be “cured” using modern medicine. The government spreads false information and propaganda to the people to promote the idea that the mutants are diseased and that it is their duty to the human race to contain them. Despite this, the X-Men still use their biological phenomena to aid the human race when Magneto tries to overtake them.

I haven’t seen the film in a while but I actually plan to be watching it this weekend (coincidentally) so I’ll have it fresher in my mind. I feel like I could go a lot of directions with it, since their lives are definitely impacted by science, and I could even connect them to gender, technology, AND information.
