Friends of Humanity

The Friends of Humanity are an fanatical anti-mutant organization set up by Graydon Creed as a way to harass mutants in the popular X-Men series of comic books and cartoons produced by Marvel - the group parallels many real-life extremist groups, especially in their fondness of inciting hatred via exploiting a growing fear of mutants in the Marvel Universe - from the early days Graydon wanted to ensure Friends Of Humanity was also a political organization and for this reason the group sometimes put on a more public-friendly face to please the crowds but this is little more than a ruse to gain enough support to elect themselves into power so as to enforce anti-mutant laws that would effectively legalize mass discrimination of mutants and even, in the most extreme cases, murder. Despite initially being exclusive to mutants, over time they have come to also target aliens and any individual who goes beyond the capabilities of a normal human.

The Friends of Humanity are not alone in their views and have both supported and been supported by many similar organisations - the most powerful of yet is the Purifiers, an anti-mutant terrorist group ruled over by the insane William Stryker - who preaches that mutants are a sin against God himself.

Recently the Friends of Humanity's founder and leader (Graydon Creed) was recruited into the Purifiers via a technovirus, what this means for the future of the organisation is unclear but it's safe to assume someone else will take his place or they will simply merge with the Purifiers due to their similar beliefs.

The irony is that Friends of Humanity show themselves to be bigger monsters than what they paint mutants as. Often in many mediums, they assault peaceful mutants or those who are only physically deformed; showing they are cowards towards real criminal mutants like the Brotherhood.
- In X-Men '97, Friends of Humanity take a big blow when they assaultingthe UN building, whwre Magento is on trial. After X-Cutionerde-powers Storm by accident, Magneto points out the hypocrisy; resulting in the entire Manhattan branxh being arrested.
