The second movie in the X-Men Film Series after X-Men, X2: X-Men United (sometimes promoted as just X2) involves mutants who are being mind-controlled somehow, starting with Nightcrawler attempting to assassinate the President; government operatives then kidnap Cyclops and Professor X.The X-Men investigate and find out that the two are related: the soldiers are under the command of Col. William Stryker (Brian Cox), who is using a mutant to project false images into other mutants' minds. By brain-washing Professor X into overpowering the "Cerebro" telepathy machine, he intends to kill all currently-living mutants. Magneto and his Brotherhood Of Mutants ally with the X-Men to stop this from happening (hence the subtitle of the movie: "X2: X-Men United"). Meanwhile, Wolverine delves into his past involvement with the "Weapon X" project, which (of course) Stryker was in charge of.Not to be confused with the series of sci-fi videogames by the name X, whose second entry is entitled X2.Followed by X-Men: The Last Stand.

Beneath Notice: Mystique disguises herself as a janitor. In fairness, it was the building's actual janitor. People could have easily mistaken her for the janitor they knew, although it does cause the real one to do a Double Take when he sees her.

Creator Cameo: Both director Bryan Singer and cinematographer Newton Thomas Siegel appear as guards in Magneto's prison. Singer gets his own pic, uniform and all, while the rest are given stock male photos. He also wheels the professor into the cell. The other security guards for Magneto's prison are all named after production staff. Screenwriters Michael Dougherty and Dan Harris also appear as surgeons on Wolverine's flashback.

No Celebrities Were Harmed: Colossus' voice was dubbed, apparently to add to his Arnold Schwarzenegger resemblance. Though never acknowledged as such, the nameless President of the United States who narrowly survives Nightcrawler's assassination attempt at the beginning of the film is clearly George W. Bush.

comment
Psychic Radar: It's already been seen in the previous film that Cerebro amplifies Xavier's powers to give him greater range and accuracy. Here he uses it to allow him to track even a mutant who can teleport and it's further revealed that he can use it to sense the location of every mutant or every human on the planet. Concentrating hard enough will give them all a really serious Psychic Nosebleed... followed by death.

comment
Brainwashed and Crazy: Done to Nightcrawler with a mind-control serum in to make him kill/try to kill the President (it's not clear if he was meant to succeed or die in the attempt). He snaps out of it and escapes when a bodyguard shoots him. This is also done to Cyclops later in the movie and had already been done to Deathstryke. Also Charles Xavier, by William Stryker's mutant son Jason, who is himself Lobotomized and Crazy.

comment
Mythology Gag After Magneto saves the Blackbird from crashing, he snarks "When will these people learn how to fly?", referencing the fact that several of the X-Men are capable of unaided flight in the comics (including Jean, Storm and Rogue, who are actually inside the Blackbird at this point). Magneto snarks that "Once again you think it's all about you" when Logan assumes that the villains need his memories to find Stryker's base, as a nod to Wolverine Publicity. Mystique and Nightcrawler have one scene together. Likely a nod to their mother-son relationship in the comics, which may or may not be the case here. Magneto floats in the middle of a circle, a device meant to kill all mutants, and changes it: now, instead of targeting all mutants, it will be used against everybody else. There was a similar scene in the first arc of Ultimate X-Men, in 2001.

The Schlub Pub Seduction Deduction: Mystique and a prison guard. Sure, she drugged and injected him with iron, so that Magneto could rip it from his blood and escape, but he got to make out with Rebecca Romijn. Lucky bastard. This trope is basically lampshaded when Magneto tells the guard that he should never trust a beautiful woman — especially one who's interested in him.

False Flag Operation: The opening of the movie has Nightcrawler jump several federal agents and attempt to attack the president of the United States on the premise of "Mutant Freedom Now!" (which is written on a strip tied to a knife he leaves behind when he escapes). In reality this is the work of Stryker's mind control in an effort to incite anti-mutant sentiment.

Bed Trick: Mystique shape shifts into Jean Grey in an attempt to sleep with Logan. One could probably say it was subverted, since Logan found out pretty much in the first minute when he felt a scar he previously had left on Mystique. The novelization claims he identified her by scent before she even entered his tent, but he played along until he got bored/annoyed/angry, it's not especially clear which.

Magneto snarks that "Once again you think it's all about you" when Logan assumes that the villains need his memories to find Stryker's base, as a nod to Wolverine Publicity.

Throwing Out the Script: The President discusses his speech as he walks down a hall with some staffers, then his speech is in the teleprompter, and he's going live when Professor X and the rest of the X-Men pay him a visit and provide him with documents from Col. Stryker's office. The X-Men leave, time resumes for the staffers, and the President touches the file on his desk and begins to improvise...

Blatant Lies: Bobby Drake presents Wolverine to his parents (who think he's been attending a normal prep school) as "Professor Logan." This in itself is borderline, but when the Drakes ask Wolverine what he teaches, he replies tersely, "Art." The trailers for the film played this to maximum effect by intercutting the question and the response with a shot of Logan, claws extended, screaming and leaping towards the camera. Also on the part of the trigger-happy cops who claim they don't want to hurt the mutants right after shooting Wolverine in the head.

At the museum's food court, John is being rude to a young man who asks to borrow his lighter, and Bobby tells his friend to knock it off, plainly disapproving of John's annoying behaviour.

Last-Second Villain Recovery
 X2: X-Men United / int_44106359
comment
Last-Second Villain Recovery: The climactic battle between Wolverine and Lady Deathstryke seemingly ends with the former finally managing to overwhelm the latter's Healing Factor by plunging her into the laboratory water tank where Wolverine was first implanted with adamantium, apparently electrocuting and/or drowning Deathstryke in the process. For a while, Wolverine is left lying on a platform above the tank, exhausted and recovering from his wounds... and then Deathstryke bursts out of the water and begins lancing him with her claws, coming dangerously close to actually killing Wolverine despite his own Healing Factor. Wolverine only manages to survive this encounter by grabbing one of the nearby adamantium syringes and stabbing Deathstryke in the chest with it, implanting her with a dose of adamantium that kills her once and for all. Non-combat example: William Stryker is ambushed by Wolverine, stabbed in the side, and chained to the wheel of his getaway helicopter so that he'll be in the path of the flood when the dam breaks. However, once Wolverine leaves to help the others, William is able to use the snow to slip himself out of his chains... but just when it looks like the bigoted scientist can get free so he can enact his next scheme, Jason Stryker (under orders from Magneto) turns the power of Dark Cerebro on humanity, leaving William in a paralyzed, dying heap in the snow. Then Magneto himself catches up with him...

Bait the Dog: Magneto and the Brotherhood team up with the X-Men in an Enemy Mine battle against a racist, genocidal military colonel. Magneto's more or less leading a rescue mission to save Professor Xavier, and the two teams fight together so well (the movie's even subtitled "X-Men United") that you can't help but cheer him on and start to wonder if, all things considered, he's really such a bad guy. And then he proceeds to remind the audience that yes, he really is a villain, when instead of rescuing him, he tries to use the captive, brainwashed Xavier to kill every non-mutant on Earth.

Sealed Evil in a Can: Stryker has Magneto locked up in a plastic prison, where without his powers he's a defenseless, elderly man. One guard takes advantage of this to physically abuse him at every opportunity. As the saying goes, "you can catch the devil, but you can't hold him long." At some point in their worst nightmares, the guards must have considered what was going to happen if Magneto got access to any amount of iron. Magneto's Roaring Rampage of Revenge when that very thing happened demonstrated that mercy from him wasn't on the table...

Badass Teacher: At the end of X-Men, Magneto asks Xavier what happens when someone finds out about his mutant school, and Xavier replies that he has a great deal of pity for anyone who comes to the school looking for trouble. In this movie, he's proven right, when Wolverine kills a lot of black ops soldiers very efficiently and violently, plus Colossus hits a couple. Although Professor X was probably referring to himself, since Stryker's forces only attacked when they knew that Xavier wasn't there, having incapacitated him first. Xavier also claims that if he wanted to, he could make Wolverine spend the rest of his life believing he was a "six-year-old girl with pigtails," simply for ignoring his rules about no smoking in the mansion! He was joking that time, but imagine the carnage Xavier could cause if he ever got downright furious?! note Look up Onslaught.

Mystique curtly replies "No," staring into the camera with an 'I'm surrounded by idiots' look. note  In the DVD commentary, the creators of the film said they included that moment specifically to forestall any viewers or critics questioning why the characters can't just turn this version of Cerebro off, while delighting in how acidic Mystique is with that one word.

Conveniently Coherent Thoughts: Played with somewhat, when Jean Grey starts to lose control of her psychic abilities. Apparently she can usually tune out the garbage and focus on the particular thoughts she's looking for, but when her powers start to malfunction, she hears every thought of every person in the very crowded museum she's in. This gives her a headache, which causes her to involuntarily short out all the TV screens around her.

Super Smoke: This film handles Nightcrawler's teleportation in a combination of this way and like his comic counterpart. He leaves behind very little evidence of his teleporting (whereas in the comic, it's basically a Nightcrawler-sized cloud) until his attack on the Oval Office antechamber, which is an enclosed space. Here he seems to almost dissolve into particles, then the particles rush to another location almost immediately and reconstruct into Nightcrawler, at least over short distances.

Instant Sedation: The military guys use Instant Sedation darts on the students when they invade the school. While they knock out the children instantly, Cyclops was protected by the armor under his clothing and multiple darts fail to have any effect on Wolverine. Justified by his larger body mass, Healing Factor, and adrenaline as well, since he doesn't show any effects while killing the immediate threat. After all the enemies in his vicinity are neutralized, he pulls the darts out and shakes his head, indicating he was becoming at least a little woozy or disoriented. Removing the source of the sedative lets his healing eliminate the rest of it in his body. Mystique's drugged beer also takes effect the second Mr. Laurio downs the last of it, where the pills have settled.

Trouble Magnet Gambit: Mystique puts a syringe filled with iron in solution into an off-duty guard's butt. How bad this would be for him in the long term is unknown considering that he seems only a little bit under the weather the next day but he's also hung over and recovering from some kind of drug. But long-term effects don't really matter because Magneto uses the extra iron in the guard's blood to escape, killing the guard and that's definitely fatal.

Artistic License – Military: During the dogfight scene, the Air Force F-16 pilots order the X-Men to divert their plane to Hanscom Air Force Base. Hanscom Air Force Base is a non-flying base that doesn't have a runway. Planes use nearby Hanscom Field, which is a civilian air port. Plus, the military pilots fire their missiles at the X-Men's plane. Military pilots cannot fire their weapons over the territory of the United States without express permission from the President. This happens so often in fiction it practically deserves its own separate trope.

Coming-Out Story: Referenced when Mrs. Drake asks her son Bobby, "Have you tried... NOT being a mutant?" Bobby's mother is played as the main "mutant-phobe" in this scene, saying things to Bobby that are now probably thought of as cliché—telling Bobby that the family still loves him, asking him when he first knew he was a mutant, referring to her son's gifts as "this [complicated] mutant problem" (to which Logan defensively replies, "What mutant problem?"), and basically being extremely uncomfortable with Bobby's confession. All in all, if you replace "mutant" with "homosexual" in the context of this scene, it still makes sense. This concept has now spawned its own trope. See also Gay Aesop below.

Shapeshifting Squick: Mystique seduces Wolverine.

Idiot Ball: Earlier, Xavier has a minor but understandable one. He notices that Deathstryke is starting to regain control. He's smart enough not to say anything, but the fact that he keeps glancing over to her alerts Strkyer, allowing him to give her another dose of serum to keep her obedient. The fight at Bobby's house is one for the cops. There have to be half a dozen of them, and despite the fact that they have their weapons in hand and trained at the mutants, none of them open fire on Pyro once he starts slinging fire around. This when they had already demonstrated willingness to use deadly force (on Wolverine, so it doesn't count, but they didn't know that).

comment
Swiss-Cheese Security: For a safe-haven built specifically for members of a persecuted minority group, Xavier's school includes surprisingly few security systems (apart from a hidden escape tunnel for making a quick getaway). As a result, Stryker's soldiers encounter remarkably light resistance when they storm the place, mostly forcing the students to defend themselves with their powers. Granted, Xavier might not see the need for particularly tight security since his powers allow him to sense most threats ahead of time, but it still comes off as pretty negligent.

Shapeshifting Seducer
 X2: X-Men United / int_75402a71
comment
Shapeshifting Seducer: Mystique seduces a guard by taking the form of a hot blonde so she can use him in Magneto's escape from prison. She later uses it on Logan by trying to seduce him in the form of Jean Grey. Logan catches her, and she goes through several other forms, including Storm, Rogue and even Stryker (though that one was a taunt rather than a seduction), but he tells her to leave.

Double Standard: Rape, Sci-Fi: Mystique attempts to do this to Wolverine by shifting to look like Jean. She's on top of him and they're shedding clothes before he realizes who she truly is. Plays on All Men Are Perverts when she proceeds to turn herself into Storm and Rogue, suggesting one of them might be what he "really wants." It's not quite so bad in the novelization, when Wolverine knows it's Mystique the entire time but chooses to play along for a while.

When Magneto says that he believes one of the heroes knows the location of Stryker's secret base, Logan angrily says that "the Professor already tried," clearly thinking that Magneto's referring to his own memories. Magneto was actually talking about Nightcrawler, and snidely remarks, "Once again, you think it's all about you," as a small dig at the fact that Wolverine, both before and after this film, tends to get the most focus when it comes to any and all types of X-Men related content.

"The Reason You Suck" Speech
 X2: X-Men United / int_7d89315b
comment
Near the beginning of the movie, we are introduced to one of Xavier's students, Artie, whose only apparent mutation is that he has a blue forked tongue. For most of the movie, Artie is just another of the students, until near the end when he and Wolverine get separated from the others during the escape from Alkali Lake. Artie is consequently present for Wolverine's final confrontation with Stryker, and crowns Wolverine's "The Reason You Suck" Speech by sticking his tongue out at him.

Halfway through their initial kiss, however, Wolverine notices the scar he gave her in the previous film; knowing that her cover is blown, Mystique immediately reverts to her true form, then tauntingly asks what he wants while shifting between various other shapes - first Jean, then Storm, then Rogue, then Stryker - before Wolverine finally tells her to get out.

Gay Aesop: When Bobby "comes out" to his parents and his brother as a mutant, his mother asks "Have you tried... NOT being a mutant?", despite the fact that Bobby did no harm to anyone, merely freezing a cup of coffee to show them his powers (his brother also calls the police and claims that Bobby and several other mutants are holding his family hostage). Shares a similar parallel with homosexuals in which they do nothing to actually deserve discrimination, but the public perception of them is what drives their reputation. Logan, who is watching the situation unfold, also takes offense as Bobby's family (unaware that Bobby isn't the only mutant in the room) unjustly discriminates against his kind.

Teleporter's Visualization Clause: Nightcrawler's teleportation abilities depend on him having a line-of-sight to his destination, and warns the team that trying to travel blindly might result in him re-materializing inside a wall—meaning that he can't help them get inside Stryker's base under the dam. However, when they have to rescue Professor X from behind the sealed doors of Dark Cerebro, Nightcrawler is called upon to perform a Blind Jump; thankfully, Nightcrawler just manages it with some emotional support from Storm.

When discussing the mutant gene, Pyro says that it is passed on by males. If the gene was on the Y chromosome, then there would be no female mutants. Then again, no one states the mutant gene is specifically in the Y chromosome. John isn't exactly studious, though, so this can be Hand Waved as him making up a lie just to irritate Mr. Drake.

Spot the Impostor: The trope is averted when Stryker is able to recognize his "handiwork" on sight — it's enough to fool the soldiers, but somehow the Colonel can tell with one close-up look. Which actually isn't that surprising. Parents can tell the difference between identical twins even when others can't.

Foreshadowing: When Professor X is having difficulty trying to get a lock on Nightcrawler, Logan flippantly asks if he can't just concentrate harder. Xavier replies dryly, "If I wanted to kill him, yes." Later Stryker gets Jason to brainwash Xavier into doing precisely this—only on a much larger scale.

Teleportation Rescue: The X-jet is damaged by an Air Force fighter's missile and Rogue falls out of the plane. Nightcrawler teleports out to catch her, then teleports back. He also rescues the children imprisoned at Stryker's base later in the same film (probably more efficient than breaking down the door or blasting the lock).

Karma Houdini: Ronnie alerts the police to the mutants' whereabouts, lying that he and his parents are being held hostage, and receives no direct comeuppance for this action. Downplayed in that he is visibly traumatized when Pyro starts murdering the cops he had called, his family life will never be the same now that he's betrayed his brother, and he obviously was among the people who were tortured and potentially killed when Magneto modified the Dark Cerebro. Though his parents may have called him out on it, since the police were being rough with them. Magneto and Mystique get away scot-free after the attempt to Kill All Humans, with Pyro in tow.

And I Must Scream
 X2: X-Men United / int_a8a04f6f
comment
And I Must Scream: Stryker's mind control serum makes the victim obedient, but their real self is still in there, fully aware and incapable of controlling their own body. Look at the sheer horror on Deathstrike's face when the serum controlling her briefly wears off. Particularly when she looks at her hands and remembers the pain of being bonded with adamantium, likely because she was being controlled during that, as well. Scott similarly tells Jean he couldn't stop himself from trying to kill her. Or the way Magneto painfully tells Charles that Striker made Magneto tell him "everything" about Charles and the school.

Super-Strength: Lady Deathstryke has both this and Super-Toughness, taking one of Cyclops optic blasts which knocked out the guard standing next to her before knocking him out with one kick, punching Wolverine across room, hammer-tossing the 6-feet, well-muscled and metal skeletoned mutant with enough force to crack concrete and one-handedly tossing him higher than 10 feet. Especially significant when you consider she has an adamantium skeleton as well.

"No Peeking!" Request: Implied non-verbally. Rogue is forced to flee to Bobby's parents' house in her nightdress, and ends up changing clothes with Bobby in the room. He politely turns his back while she undresses, but can be seen briefly sneaking a peek at her from behind. (Given that she doesn't ask him to leave the room entirely, it comes across as intentionally flirtatious—particularly since the two share their first kiss shortly afterward)

No-Sell: Magneto performs a No Sell of his own, thanks to his telepathy-blocking helmet: while the mind-controlled Xavier is attacking the mutants of the world with his powers, Magneto is completely immune to the psychic attack that has literally every other mutant on Earth writhing on the ground in agony. For good measure, once he's managed to temporarily disable Cerebro and stop the attack, he finds himself face to face with Jason, who makes one final attempt at telepathically attacking him- to no avail; cue horrified stare from Jason, as Magneto smugly taps the side of his helmet by way of explanation. Lady Deathstrike shoots Cyclops with a sedative dart gun, however, his X-Men uniform and thick coat shield him from it.

Alas, Poor Villain: Halfway through her death scene, the mind-control serum wears off and Deathstrike is allowed a few tragic seconds of clarity to realize where she is and what's happened to her; the look on her face says it all. Just before getting out of the second Cerebro, Xavier looks sadly at the lobotomised Jason, clearly regretting the way the boy ended up.

Oh, Crap!: "I used to think you were one of a kind, Wolverine. I was wrong." Followed by another one after he realises Deathstrike also shares his Healing Factor. Magneto and Mystique have the smiles wiped right off their faces when Rogue, furious at their teasing about the white stripes in her hair (which they are directly responsible for) gives them a Death Glare as she starts to pull a glove off. Jason, who's spent the entire movie playing Xavier like a fiddle, has a moment of panic when Magneto proves immune to his illusions.

Cutting Back to Reality: Used frequently during Charles Xavier's interactions with Jason Stryker: in the first demonstration of Jason's power, for example, Charles finds himself back at the mansion, standing happily at his desk... and then the background flickers ever-so-slightly. Cut to the real world, where Charles immediately yells at Jason to stop it. However, on the second attempt, the illusionist manages to fool Charles into believing in the scenario he's been presented with; as a result, the cuts back to reality from this point onwards are from Jason's perspective.

Have You Tried Not Being a Monster?: Trope Namer. Bobby Drake's parents find out that he's a mutant and have pretty much exactly this reaction, complete with his mother asking him if he's tried "not being a mutant?" The filmmakers consulted Ian McKellen for the scene due to his experience being gay during much less forgiving times. This pops up a second time. When Nightcrawler asks Mystique why she doesn't use her shapeshifting powers to blend in with normal humans, she replies, "Because we shouldn't have to."

comment
Take That!: Logan desperately tries to change the radio on the car when *NSYNC's "Bye Bye Bye" plays after Pyro turns it on. Every passenger of the car also cringes in disgust and/or annoyance. note  The film was released in 2003, shortly after *NSYNC had gone on an extended hiatus—when many people remembered their music as an embarrassing relic of the late '90s. When Magneto says that he believes one of the heroes knows the location of Stryker's secret base, Logan angrily says that "the Professor already tried," clearly thinking that Magneto's referring to his own memories. Magneto was actually talking about Nightcrawler, and snidely remarks, "Once again, you think it's all about you," as a small dig at the fact that Wolverine, both before and after this film, tends to get the most focus when it comes to any and all types of X-Men related content.

Verbal Salt in the Wound: When the X-Men and the Brotherhood are forced to team up, Rogue notices that she's being laughed at by Mystique and Magneto, who needle her over the side-effects of Magneto's doomsday device in the previous movie by remarking "we love what you've done with your hair." Rogue goes so far as to remove one of her gloves before Iceman ushers her away.

Adaptational Super Power Change: In the comics, Nightcrawler teleports to the Hell dimension (where his Dad is from) then back to the world in the location he wants to be. In this movie, he pretty clearly dissolves into particles that relocate and then reform into him.

Slip into Something More Comfortable: Downplayed and subverted. Rogue and Bobby kiss for the first time shortly after Rogue slips out of her nightdress to change clothes with Bobby in the room. While her new get-up is fairly modest and unremarkable, it does include a long pair of gloves—allowing her to touch Bobby without harming him.

Aerial Canyon Chase: Lacking a conveniently placed canyon with which to perform this, Storm uses her weather manipulating powers to create one from tornadoes, giving the X-Men a chance to escape. It has the added benefit of making sure the inevitable crashes aren't actually fatal for their pursuers, but also the downside of allowing a clean missile lock.

Evil Cripple: Jason Stryker Mind Raped his parents so severely that his mother took a power drill to her temple to get the images out. He was experimented on by his father, a mutant-phobe, and turned into a living Lotus-Eater Machine in a wheelchair in contrast to Charles Xavier, who is with the good guys. While Jason's condition is portrayed sympathetically, but his appearance is definitely intended to be creepy, and both his past actions and some of his present demeanor are definitely evil.

New Powers as the Plot Demands: Jean Grey starts exhibiting some new powers as the Phoenix struggles to break free. At first, they are just an extension of her telekinesis, such as disrupting electronic equipment, but by the climax she already has omniscience, which lets her predict the moment when the dam burst, and can also suppress other mutant's powers, since she interferes with Nightcrawler's teleportation to stop him from coming after her. Only the latter is present in the sequel, as she manages to disable Cyclops' eye beam during their reunion.

Artistic Licence – Biology: When discussing the mutant gene, Pyro says that it is passed on by males. If the gene was on the Y chromosome, then there would be no female mutants. Then again, no one states the mutant gene is specifically in the Y chromosome. John isn't exactly studious, though, so this can be Hand Waved as him making up a lie just to irritate Mr. Drake. The iron injected into the prison guard wouldn't have gone unnoticed, least of all by the guard himself. Iron infusions have a high risk of anaphylactic shock, so the amount of iron Mystique injects should have produced near instant symptoms, followed by death. Also, the body tends to bind iron with other substances in the body, and once that happens, it becomes so unmagnetic that if Magneto was powerful enough to remove it, he wouldn't actually need it as the plastic of his prison would be more magnetic.

 X2: X-Men United / int_dd3272bb
comment
What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?: Two students at Xavier's school definitely qualify: one of them can change TV channels just by blinking his eyes, thus giving him the same super-powers as a hand-held remote control; the other has a blue forked tongue and nothing else. The latter overlaps with Adaptational Wimp: he's evidently meant to be the films' equivalent of Artie Maddicks, who had the power of clairvoyance in the comics.note  In the comics, Artie was a deformed young boy who could see visions of distant events, but struggled to tell other people about them due to being mute. His film counterpart is only ever shown to share his muteness (not his useful powers).

Crushing Handshake
 X2: X-Men United / int_dd53c52b
comment
Crushing Handshake: Iceman does this to Wolverine by freezing the older mutant's hand when Rogue introduces them. Bobby is aware that Rogue has a crush on Logan, so he wanted to subtly assert his position as her boyfriend. Deathstrike also does this to Senator Kelly/Mystique seemingly without meaning to. It's another hint that she's more than meets the eye. Kelly/Mystique even comment with "quite a grip" and he/she is rubbing their hand for a few moments as the scene continues.

Continuity Cameo: Beast making a hairless appearance. Even more subtle than a brief cameo, in the second movie the real names of several mutants, including Gambit, Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver, were briefly seen on a computer screen as being some of the prisoners in a mutant prison. Three, Gambit, Banshee and Quicksilver, wound up appearing later (or rather, earlier) in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, X-Men: First Class and X-Men: Days of Future Past. The names of the five core New Mutants (Danielle Moonstar, Roberto da Costa, Rahne Sinclair, Sam Guthrie, and Illyana Rasputin) as well as Wade Wilson also appear.

A Glitch in the Matrix: During Jason Styker's initial attempt to trap Xavier within an illusion of the mansion, he looks to be trying to make everything as happy as possible, even giving him the ability to walk again. Xavier appears to be almost buying it... right up until the background flickers ever-so-slightly, whereupon he turns around and yells at Jason.

O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Unless it's an emergency, Rogue generally tries to avoid using her powers willingly, as she's utterly terrified of killing someone with them. However, Magneto and Mystique mocking her new skunk stripe that they indirectly gave her in the first film enrages Rogue so much that she immediately takes off her glove with the intention of trying to harm them, only being stopped by Bobby.

Jerkass: Ronnie calls the cops on Bobby and his friends under the pretense that they were holding his family hostage, seemingly out of pure jealousy over his brother's powers. Pyro is much more vicious than his fellow X-Men even before he is swayed by Magneto's words and decides to join the Brotherhood. He is understandably enraged when a startled cop accidentally shoots Wolverine, but his reaction is to escalate the conflict by declaring he is the most dangerous mutant of all, before incinerating the man and hurling fireballs at the rest of the police. Mitchell Laurio is an insecure, sadistic slob who physically and mentally torments Magneto while the old man is completely helpless in the plastic prison.

Spotting the Thread: Wolverine figures out Mystique isn't Jean because she has the scars where he stabbed her in the previous movie. Later in the same movie, Stryker takes one look at Mystique from across a large room and knows she's not Wolverine simply saying "I know my own work". In the novelization, it's her smell that alerts Wolverine even before he exposes the scars, but he plays along to try and find out what she wants.

When he tries to fool Charles Xavier into using Cerebro for him and Stryker, he creates a scenario in which he is represented as a young, slightly creepy girl who asks Xavier to look for all the mutants. The only thing letting on that they are one and the same is that they both share the same asymmetrical eyes.

The military guys use Instant Sedation darts on the students when they invade the school. While they knock out the children instantly, Cyclops was protected by the armor under his clothing and multiple darts fail to have any effect on Wolverine. Justified by his larger body mass, Healing Factor, and adrenaline as well, since he doesn't show any effects while killing the immediate threat. After all the enemies in his vicinity are neutralized, he pulls the darts out and shakes his head, indicating he was becoming at least a little woozy or disoriented. Removing the source of the sedative lets his healing eliminate the rest of it in his body.

The Dog Bites Back
 X2: X-Men United / int_fb3576b2
comment
Non-combat example: William Stryker is ambushed by Wolverine, stabbed in the side, and chained to the wheel of his getaway helicopter so that he'll be in the path of the flood when the dam breaks. However, once Wolverine leaves to help the others, William is able to use the snow to slip himself out of his chains... but just when it looks like the bigoted scientist can get free so he can enact his next scheme, Jason Stryker (under orders from Magneto) turns the power of Dark Cerebro on humanity, leaving William in a paralyzed, dying heap in the snow. Then Magneto himself catches up with him...

Beware the Nice Ones
 X2: X-Men United / int_fccd06b6
comment
Although Professor X was probably referring to himself, since Stryker's forces only attacked when they knew that Xavier wasn't there, having incapacitated him first. Xavier also claims that if he wanted to, he could make Wolverine spend the rest of his life believing he was a "six-year-old girl with pigtails," simply for ignoring his rules about no smoking in the mansion! He was joking that time, but imagine the carnage Xavier could cause if he ever got downright furious?! note Look up Onslaught.

Skyward Scream: Logan does this in a flashback where he wakes up in a tank of water with no memories, covered in blood and metal claws shooting out of his hands.

comment
Brick Joke: When Logan volunteers to open the doors to Stryker's base, Magneto says "What are you going to do, scratch [the controls] with your claws?" This is exactly how he closes the floodgates at the end. Near the beginning of the movie, we are introduced to one of Xavier's students, Artie, whose only apparent mutation is that he has a blue forked tongue. For most of the movie, Artie is just another of the students, until near the end when he and Wolverine get separated from the others during the escape from Alkali Lake. Artie is consequently present for Wolverine's final confrontation with Stryker, and crowns Wolverine's "The Reason You Suck" Speech by sticking his tongue out at him.

Removing the Earpiece: Wolverine does this when the rest of the team are discussing their plan and he realizes if it goes the way they're hoping it will, he won't get a chance to confront the guy who holds the information about his past. When they next look up, he's gone.

Adaptational Nationality: The Australian Saint-John (pronounced "SIN-jin" in Commonwealth countries) Allerdyce from the comics has been adapted to an American without the "Saint" in his given name. Colossus also appears to have gone from Russian to American.

Shown Their Work: The screenwriters did research on how to blow up a dam for the climactic scenes of the movie; this went mostly unremarked upon in the film (though no doubt the director and effects artists got some use out of it), but was described at some length in the novelization.
