Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })A Graphic Novel first published in 1982, God Loves, Man Kills is one of the most famous X-Men stories from the Claremont period. Writing in the midst of the rise of televangelists of the 1980s, Chris Claremont and artist Brent Anderson presented a story with a new foe for the X-Men who stood out from previous villains: the Reverend William Stryker, a Sinister Minister who believes mutants are demons from hell that must be completely eradicated.Taking on issues such as prejudice, religion and the growing Christian fundamentalism of the time, the story proved to be a hit and was one of the primary influences for the second X-Men movie, X2: X-Men United.

Armor-Piercing Question: Happens early on in the novel, with Kitty punching out a fellow student for coming down on the side of Stryker's crusade. When Stevie Hunter, her African-American dance instructor, tells her his rhetoric was "just words," Kitty responds with an enraged: Colossus apologizes on Kitty's behalf, but Stevie admits to herself that Kitty was right - she wouldn't have been so tolerant if someone of her race was insulted.

Badass Bystander: In the book's climax, Stryker aims a gun at Kitty when they confront him at Madison Square Garden. A shot is fired. But it turns out to be a random police officer working security. He shoots and arrests Stryker, believing the Reverend has gone too far if he's willing to kill an unarmed teenage girl.
