Warning: SPOILERS for Dark Web: X-Men #2
The humans of the Marvel Universe hate the mutant population, and the X-Men have had to deal with persecution since the beginning of their history - but the latest reason for humanity to hate mutants is sadly all too understandable in the modern age. Krakoa changed the X-Men franchise, but it also changed the entire world. Now in Dark Web: X-Men #2, fans see precisely how it has changed one aspect of modern-day life: health insurance.
In current comics continuity, the island of Krakoa is the X-Men's new home, along with the home of all other mutants. Any mutant can claim asylum in Krakoa, and the nations of the world must abide by their decision. This is in part to Professor Xavier's deal with the world regarding Krakoan sovereignty in Dawn of X: in return for recognizing the island as legitimate, Krakoa will give revolutionary pharmaceuticals to participating countries. These medications include the cure for numerous cancers and other aliments, in addition to a drug that expands human lifetimes by five years.
In Dark Web: X-Men #2, written by Gerry Duggan with art by Rod Reis & Phil Noto, the Dark Web event brings inanimate objects to life across New York City. While a small band of mutants and humans attempt to stop a rampaging Christmas Tree, Forge and other X-Men gather human survivors into the X-Men's treehouse base in Central Park. Synch announces that mutant healers are on their way from Krakoa to tend to any injured. "I don't have insurance," claims a woman, to which Synch responds "And we don't charge for our services."
One More Reason For Humans To Hate Mutants: Insurance
While it is admirable that the X-Men don't charge for healing services, this particular women clearly doesn't know their policy - and presumably, neither does anyone else. It is logical to assume the humans of Earth believe the X-Men would charge for their services, seeing as they've kept mutant resurrection a secret for many years. In a world where health insurance is tremendously expensive and doctors and nurses are in short supply, humans would naturally loathe any group that has both in abundance - such as the citizens of Krakoa.
In the aftermath of the Judgment Day event, the mutants of Earth decided to finally share their resurrection technology with the world, albeit in an extremely limited fashion. This is a marvelous act of generosity, but in the eyes of many humans, not enough. According to them, the X-Men should share their gifts - and considering the fact that many believe they charge for healing, they should have done it long ago to dispel rumors.
