I guess he could be backfilling but Stan has been pretty explicit that he intended the civil rights metaphor from the start. Obviously a lot of the best stuff didnt come till Claremont, but it was still there. Just like, without Magneto being more morally interesting and stuff.

I do agree about the applicability to Judiasm, though I didnt know that Claremont was explicitly working with mixed feelings on Israel.

Never trust Stan Lee when given the option to take credit.
