maybe you can clear something up for a non-marvel fan whose exposure is mostly just the movies: how can x-men exist alongside the other marvel heroes? i thought that x-men had their own lore where the whole reason they exist are because theyre mutants and fight for mutant acceptance. How can society accept spider-man as a hero but hate wolverine as a mutant?

The watsonian answer is that technically spider-man isn't a mutant but a "mutate" because he wasn't born with his powers but received them later in life from the spider bite. Yes, this is a stupid, arbitrary distinction, but it's apparently enough of one that he doesn't encounter the same bigotry as people who were born mutants, who all have an identifiable "x-gene."

Doylist answer: spider-man is about great power meaning great responsibility, while x-men is about how to deal with bigotry and oppression, so they encounter different obstacles in their stories and don't really overlap in that way very often.
