Wolverine And The X Men 2009 E 1 Hindsight Part One

  • Realism-Induced Horror: In this episode we see the abusive power of law enforcement agencies when The MRD arrests Erica's family just for helping and harboring Wolverine, who they consider a fugitive mutant and try to force them to give information on Wolverine's whereabouts. Even ignoring the fact they are mutants, government and other law enforcement agencies abusing their power to arrest an innocent person just for being seen with someone who is a fugitive is something to be legitimately scared of. It can also harken back to the days of Jim Crow and the civil war, where just being seen with a marginalized person could get you killed.
