X-Men and Peculiar Children

      While in class the other day, Greg and I were talking and we stumbled upon something kinda funny. Has anyone else noticed that Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children and the X-Men series are exactly alike? I mean think about it, the peculiar children in the book are exactly like the mutants in X-Men, Miss Peregrine and Charles Xavier (the head of the mutant school in X-Men) play very similar roles in both pieces, and Jacob and The Wolverine are both "peculiar" people who are on their own and are soon accepted into the group of peculiars (or mutants). Also, Jacob and The Wolverine become heroes as the stories they are in go on.

    If thats not enough to prove the similarities between the pieces, think about the plots! Basically the plot of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children is a "peculiar" boy named Jacob tries to find the peculiar children his Grandfather was talking about. While on this journey he finds the children and is eventually accepted into the group. Jacob soon becomes the hero of the group as he tries to lead the peculiar children to safety from the Hollowgast who are trying to eliminate the "peculiars".

     Now lets look at the plot of X-men. A man that goes by the name of Wolverine is traveling alone with a mutation that allows him to have metal claws come out of his hands. He soon comes across a school for people that have mutations like himself. He is welcomed into the school by a man named Charles Xavier who basically plays the role of Miss Peregrine. As the series goes on, Wolverine becomes a hero figure to the younger mutants as he helps fight an enemy of the mutants named Magneto. In the third X-men movie the mutants actually end up fighting a group of people who want to rid the world of mutants. This sounds familiar doesn't it? *cough cough* (the book we just read).

     Anyways, I just thought this was a funny coincidence that you guys might enjoy. Here's a question: Which mutant or peculiar child in either X-men or the book is your favorite? Peace out guys.
