It was considered brilliant for the 80s when the idea was thought up, now it's banal and exploitative. Even Ricky Gervais pointed out how using the Holocaust is just a cry for attention and "See how DEEP we are? We're referencing the Holocaust!"
You argue beside the point The point being that using the Holocaust to make your character seem deep is really just lazy. Especially when his current conflict has nothing to do with his past. If Mutants were anything like what happened to Jewish people in the Holocaust, it would be. But the mutant thing is nothing like that, so it falls flat. The fear of mutants is based in logic, not how Nazis viewed Jewish people (it varied from Nazi to Nazi, plenty of them didn't care if they were Jewish and just wanted a scapegoat). Other CBM series aren't that exploitative.
