The closest analogy to XMen or Wizards is rich people, tbh.

Rogue absorption powers? Rich people can pay others to work for them, thereby extracting their labor (but also their lifeforce).
Shapeshifting? Rich people can pay PR firms, marketing agencies, and image manipulators.
Bandaging Charm? Access to healthcare.
Avada Kedavra? They can pay to have you killed.
Wolverine Claws? Rich people can easily afford knives.

Etc.

Don't read NK Jemisin, do read Herodotus. (Herodotus was part of an oppressed minority--Greeks in Asia Minor, because it was dominated by the Achamenid Empire).
