Friends of Humanity

The Friends of Humanity (FoH) are one of the many anti-mutant hate groups in the Marvel Universe. Anti-mutant activists such as Graydon Creed (founder) and the robotic Bastion have been members.
Fictional organization history
The Friends of Humanity is a group started by one time presidential-hopeful Graydon Creed, a man infamous for his bigotry against mutants. He and his disciples have caused damage on many occasions, whenever there is a possibility to limit mutant rights or harm them, and they constantly agitate to force lawmakers to reinstate The .
Groups inspired by or splintered from the Friends of Humanity include the survivalist Humanity's Last Stand and the religious fundamentalist Church of Humanity.
Other storylines
Age of Apocalypse
After the fall of Apocalypse, a group of humans joined together in an attempt to prevent the mutants to get control over their lives. It is strongly implied that they are responsible for the disappearance of Exodus, Iceman, Morph and Wild Child. Only Wild Child's fate has been revealed in Exiles: Days of Then and Now.
Ultimate Marvel
The Friends of Humanity appear in Ultimate X-Men, where they still hold anti-mutant sentiments, attacking a hospital because it offered support to mutant children living in poverty. Ironically, after the Friends are taken down, the leader himself is revealed to be a mutant (who was either unaware or in denial of his mutation) who almost defeats the X-Men, only to be stopped by Magician. Next, the Friends of Humanity are seen fighting with member , who is saved from them by Nightcrawler.

Television
* In the X-Men animated series, the Friends of Humanity debut in the second season, again founded by Creed. Former followers of Senator Kelly felt betrayed by his switch from anti-mutant to pro-mutant views brought about by the saving his life. Near the end of the season, the Friend of Humanity discovered (thanks to Wolverine) that Graydon Creed was the human son of Sabretooth and they left him in disgust. In the last season, the Friends of Humanity returned to wage war on mutants. When Creed recovered in the episode "Bloodlines," the Friends of Humanity's council gave him another chance by having him kill Mystique, his biological mutant mother and Nightcrawler, his mutant half-brother. The Friends of Humanity were again stopped by the X-Men and the local authorities arrested the FoH Soldiers not for attacking mutants, but for blowing up a dam that had been caught in the crossfire. When Graydon failed to kill Mystique, Nightcrawler, or Rogue as well as costing them some of their soldiers who were arrested for blowing up the dam, the four council members on the helicopter he was bounded on expelled Graydon and parachuted him to the house where Sabretooth was currently living.
