I know he thinks Spider-Man is a plague on society, but how does he feel about mutants?
Does he keep anti-mutant bigotry out of the Bugle, or is he on the same page as guys like Trask and Stryker?

Talking about mutants would only take up valuable page space that could be used to talk about bigger threats, like Spider-Man.
He's gay for Spider-Man.
He had a story when Operation: Zero Tolerance was going on where he was all "we should regard the X-Men with suspicion, but lets get all the facts straight first, and also Bastion creeps me the frick out."
He's basically an outrage farmer. Anything that happens involving anyone else, he'll always tie it back to Spider-man somehow fricking things up.
Sounds a lot like controlled opposition.
His problem with Spider-man isn't that he has powers. It is that he has powers AND uses them to dish out vigilante justice.
But people with far more devastating powers living in a made up country and some times going to war doesn't phase him?
Mutants are dealt with by the government. If a mutants does shit they are immediately labeled a terrorist and have 400 agencies up their ass.
Spider-Man is a masked menace freak that is roaming free doing whatever he wants anonymously.
Not on the basis of them having powers.
It varies from writer to write, obviously, but when written well, JJJ would have no issue with anyone if they used their powers responsibly (by his own personal definition of it). It's just that the vast majority of superhumans, and especially Spider-Man, don't.
I doubt Spider-Man has anywhere near the body count the muties have racked up over the years.
There's no way to know that since the public doesn't know who Spider-Man is
You'd have to be unbearably naive to ever believe that even living in the Marvel universe.
>Yeah, this dude getting his ass kicked by a chode in a rhino costume and that fatass Fisk has definitely filled entire graveyards like those mutants.
There's no proof any of spider-man's "fights" aren't setups
Oh, is that what the internal investigation conducted by mutie-lovers at The Daily Bugle concluded?
And yet the grand total of mutant fatalities is probably a blip on the radar when you tally up all of boring old humanity's wars, crimes, and genocides.
The irony is Jonah's pretty even keeled he just hated the idea of Spider-Man refusing to take credit or responsibility. One time Captain America went to vouch for Spidey and Jonah pointed out Cap was completely different (everyone knows who he is, he doesn't hide his identities).
Which is relatively recent, Cap's identity wasn't public knowledge almost entirely up to Civil War
Even if he spoke about mutants he'd just relate it back to Spider-Man and how Spider-Man is the problem. Mutants are just bad for business nobody wants to hear about them. I wouldn't call Jonah apolitical but bringing mutants up is definitely a shitstorm he knows wouldn't do him any good.
He doesn't technically hate Spider-man and he wouldn't hate mutants as long as they fall in line with the law. He believes in the law and the systems of authorities and the steps of legality to keep people safe. He is a classic American against illegal actions and his exaggerated showmanship is expressed in the paper to sell.
>He is a boot licking fascist
>But wouldn't call the police on his neighbors if they were mutants
I dunno. I think he'd be in favor of guys like Magneto in Auschwitz
You immediately went for warped ideology huh?
I think we know damn well what he would have done in 1939 Berlin.
Yes, he would've called Hitler's bullshit to the very end
Green Goblin? Is that you!?
Mutants are fine but it's the mutants like psychics and Magneto that legitimately need to be sterilized out of their powers for the safety of not only people but other mutants as well. No mutant should have the designator of being an Omega-level threat too but that's another semi-related topic.
