YMMV / X Men Evolution S 4 E 5 Uprising

• Complete Monster: Duncan Matthews started off as a typical Jerk Jock, but become something far worse in his final appearance. After Jean Grey dumped him when he described her mutant gifts as a problem, Duncan slowly develops a hatred of mutants. After graduating high school, Duncan got a job at a mining company and harassed mutants in his spare time. After trying to harass a couple of the younger X-Men students, former X-Men Spyke drives him off, destroying his car in the process. In revenge, Duncan steals some mining equipment from his job and he and his friends attack the Morlocks, mutants who live under the sewers. Duncan and his gang throw bombs down the sewer, attempting to kill as many Morlocks as they can and then force the survivors to the surface, so Duncan and his gang can kill them with laser torches. While confronting Spyke, a mutant child named Leech intervenes, trying to protect Spyke, so Duncan decides to try and shoot him.
• Jerks Are Worse Than Villains: Duncan went from a bully to a mutant-hunting murderer, Trask gets released from custody in order to build more sentinels and an angry mob tried to kill a child in a store just for being a mutant. What they all have in common, is that their bigoty for mutants makes them more detestable than Apocalypse himself.
• Realism-Induced Horror: Mutant powers aside, being the victim of bigotry and hate crimes are something to be legitimately concerned about. The episode shows that people will take extreme measures to deal with what they believe is a problem and how even a child can be a victim of it. Just ask former victims and their family members.
