X-Men: First Class	comment	X-Men: First Class is the second prequel in the X-Men Film Series set in 1962 during the Cuban Missile Crisis.Before the mind-reading Charles Xavier was known as Professor X, he lived a privileged existence as a young brilliant Oxford graduate specialising in genetics, living with his shapeshifting foster sister Raven Darkholme. Before he took the name Magneto, the metal-controlling Erik Lehnsherr was a vengeful young Holocaust survivor bent on hunting down the depraved Nazi doctor who experimented on him and murdered his mother at a concentration camp in 1944, Dr. Klaus Schmidt.The year is now 1962, and CIA agent Moira MacTaggert finds that Schmidt, now going by the name Sebastian Shaw, is working alongside mutants in a conspiracy involving the highest levels of the American and Russian governments. When she enlists Dr. Xavier to help her hunt down Shaw, Charles and Erik are unexpectedly drawn together. As they become close friends, the two of them work together to build a team of mutants (some familiar, some new) to stop Shaw and avert the greatest threat to humanity the world has ever known. In the process, a rift between them opens, which begins the eternal war between Magneto's Brotherhood and Professor X's X-Men.

X-Men: First Class / int_10134c97	type	Artistic License â€“ Gun Safety
X-Men: First Class / int_10134c97	comment	Artistic License â€“ Gun Safety: To test the depth of his magnetic manipulation, Erik demands Charles fire his (M1911) handgun at him. Basic rule of gun safety is you NEVER point a gun at someone or something you are not intending to destroy, even firing guns at people with body armor on is frowned upon as reckless. Making it worse is Erik boasts about how his magnetism is so powerful he would even be able to block the bullet at point blank range, and forces Charles to stick the gun up against his head. Problem here is that even if by some miracle Erik had the reaction time necessary to stop a bullet at that range, guns release enormous amounts of flame out of the tip of the barrel, because that gas propellant is what is shoving the bullet out of the gun's barrel. Magnetism would not allow Erik to block the flame, and his face would be scorched with 2nd and third degree burns, most likely killing him in the process. Charles thankfully has enough common sense to put the gun away and not listen to Erik's insane demand... though given how much of a menace Magneto is later on, maybe he should have.

At the climax of the story, Erik and Charles wrestle each other in regards to killing the American and Russian navy firing at them. Every time Erik gets the upper hand, he always gets back to directing the ordnance back at the ships. But the very moment Charles gets hit by a bullet that ends up paralyzing him, Erik instantly lets the missiles drop harmlessly and rushes to help Charles.

Hank McCoy used to be a dorky but otherwise normal-looking teenager before his Beast transformation.

As the siblings are walking away from the pub, Charles is exasperated at Raven for ruining his potential date.

He generally relies on Mooks and other mutants to do his dirty work. In this movie he can absorb all kinds of energy, including Havok's blasts and nuclear radiation, and if he has limits they're set high enough to make him a credible threat to Magneto.

X-Men: First Class / int_1589afa2	comment	Freakiness Shame: Magneto wins over Mystique and several of the other mutants by accepting and reveling in their mutations rather than preferring them to be mainline. Internal categorization at its finest as he even prefers Beast with a more extreme mutation while Beast is self-loathing. This is also how Xavier ends up adopting Mystique as a sister. She's the first mutant he meets and he is amazed that there are other mutants in the world. However, when they're adults he prefers her to stay looking human and, when asked flat-out, clearly shows he doesn't regard her true form as attractive. This is also seemingly what Beast and Mystique bond over when they form a relationship (rather than mock his large feet, she is impressed by his reflexes and stands up for him), but ultimately subverted on Beast's part when he says that he finds Mystique's human form attractive, but not her true form.

As noted above, Magneto is much more suited to the trope, even going so far as to applaud Shaw's vision of a mutant-dominated world but in exactly those terms, without the desire to rule over them as their supreme leader.

X-Men: First Class / int_1989b0c	comment	Comic-Book Time: The film is definitely marketed as a prequel to the original trilogy, but the timeline used in the film is very wonky. First Class takes place in 1962, which would put Xavier and Magneto in their 70s in the first movie (Patrick Stewart was only 60 when the first film was released, and Ian McKellen was around the same age). It's best not to think about Beast's age. In the first film Xavier states that he was seventeen when he first met Magneto, but here he's clearly shown to have been alive in 1944, eighteen years before the two first meet.

Many of the bit parts in the movie are filled with extremely recognizable and prolific character actors. James Remar is the US General giving a speech in front of The Big Board, Ray Wise plays the US Secretary of State (seated dead center at the round table next to CIA Director McCone and William Stryker, Sr.), and Jason Beghe is the XO of the lead US ship in the 7th fleet commanded by Captain Michael Ironside.

X-Men: First Class / int_1d18887f	type	Pay Evil unto Evil
X-Men: First Class / int_1d18887f	comment	Pay Evil unto Evil: Much of the film is composed of Erik (later Magneto) doing this. He's Jewish, as a child he and his family are sent to Auschwitz, and a Nazi there (who we later find out is the mutant Sebastian Shaw) murders Erik's mother when Erik is unable to use his (latent) powers. As an adult, the first part of the film has Erik hunting down, torturing and murdering Nazis and their supporters. At the end of the movie he gives Shaw a very Karmic Death— the film clearly intends it to be a Jumping Off the Slippery Slope moment, but Shaw's such a dangerous madman that he deserves such a kick, especially as there's little reason to believe Shaw could be safely captured. Then the US and Soviet militaries try to murder the mutants who just saved them from nuclear war, and Erik turns their missiles back on them. Paying evil to evil is his personal philosophy, contrasting with Charles' pay-good-unto-evil-and-maybe-they'll-have-a-change-of-heart ethos (and influenced by the fact that Erik's seen a lot more of evil than Charles has at this point), and it's a substantial part of what ultimately separates them.

Shaw/Schmidt plays La Vie en rose by Ã‰dith Piaf in the concentration camp in 1944, despite the song not being written until 1945 or released as a single until 1947. For a movie nominally set in the early sixties, people sure don't seem to pay much attention to race (although you don't see any black CIA agents, and the black characters of Darwin and Angel are shown in rather menial jobs). Moira and Raven are often seen in miniskirts, which weren't designed until 1965, i.e. three years in film's future. Some of the US sailors are wielding M16's, which were not officially adopted until the following year. In a similar error, the soldiers that went to the Soviet general's palace with Moira, Charles, and Erik are depicted using "XM177s"note Actually Colt model 933s, mocked up to look like XM177s. Distinguishable by the removable carry handles, which weren't adopted until around 1967. At the strip club, Angel takes Erik and Charles into a separate room for a "bed dance" (as evidenced by the fact the two men are shown reclining on a bed). Bed dances (a somewhat rare variant of lap dancing) weren't introduced until at least the 1990s. Pinball geeks will note that Havok and Darwin are playing Gottlieb's Fun Land, which came out six years after the movie's events.

X-Men: First Class / int_2f253c94	comment	Appearance-wise, Dr. Charles Xavier is strongly defined by his boyishness: he has a soft, round face, baby blue eyes, cherry-red lips (the colour is so deep at times that it almost looks like he's wearing lipstick), and is of shorter-than-average height. It's symbolic of his sensitive, nice guy qualities. Erik Lehnsherr even calls him "adorable" when Charles tries the Cerebro machine for the first time. With his fair complexion, the young telepath resembles a living porcelain doll, and his fragility becomes evident when he "breaks" physically and emotionally during the climax.

And then Anya (renamed to Nina) and Magda appear in X-Men: Apocalypse as the final reason Magneto returns to villainy. In the comics, Professor Xavier was crippled by an alien named Lucifer. In this movie, he's accidentally crippled by Magneto. This is adapted from the Ultimate continuity, where Magneto was responsible for crippling Xavier.

Finally, he can absorb enough energy to simulate a nuclear bomb blast... and presumably come out the other side unharmed.

When the movie starts, he's a friendly, happy-go-lucky, idealistic Oxford grad whose only interests are protecting his foster sister, studying genetics, drinking yards of beer and picking up coeds. His initial reaction to meeting other mutants is a puppyish eagerness to find others like him, as well as a gung-ho enthusiasm to work with a superhuman team to fight evil. During the climax, he gets smacked around in a variety of ways, including telepathically experiencing Shaw's gruesome death at Magneto's hands, getting shot in the spine, and having the US government, his best friend, and his sister all turn against him. By the finale, his government is trying to hunt him down, his best friend is preparing for a war against humans, and he's crippled for life in a wheelchair. We know from future installments that he never quite abandons his ideals, but he's frighteningly subdued and obviously much more cautious about who knows his secrets. Hank McCoy starts off as the dorky love interest for Raven. He then undergoes a Karmic Transformation after telling Raven that society would never accept them for the way they really looked. Raven Darkholme starts off as an innocent Womanchild who turns into a villain by the end, after being harshly rejected by her love interest Hank, and being repulsed by both humanity's intolerance and by Charles' ideals. Erik Lehnsherr as a child in the early scenes, where he is subjected to the harsh treatment of the concentration camps and is forced to watch his mother die simply because he couldn't move a coin in time.

Executive producer Tarquin Pack lampshades this specific example in the rare "Extraordinary Abilities" featurette. (See the Bonus Material entry.) Given that, in this film alone, Xavier demonstrates the ability to psychically freeze people like statues and give irresistible commands ("Get in the car"), and simply skimming someone's drink order becomes a healthily downplayed example. Raven jokingly insinuates that Hank's large, ape-like feet might be an indication that he has a massive penis. Emma Frost seduces a Russian general by projecting a mental image of herself so he thinks she's having sex with him, when she's in fact sitting a distance away looking bored. Raven shapeshifts from her teenaged form into a more mature woman (Rebecca Romijn in a cameo) in the belief that Erik would prefer her that way. Magneto is not impressed because he wanted "the real Raven." It took her two tries to realize that he wanted her natural blue form.

The total opposite of the X-Men, who are serious and focused, and specially Wolverine, an almost perpetually stoic, no-nonsense adult who's fought in every major American conflict from the Civil War to 'Nam.

X-Men: First Class / int_5e7163c9	comment	Alternative Character Interpretation. In-Universe. Charles tries to raise Hank's spirits by talking about The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. As Charles sees it, the serum didn't divide Jekyll into "good" and "evil," but more "civilized" and "animal," with the "animal" Hyde being Jekyll with confidence and free of inhibitions. Thus Hank shouldn't worry about being a bad guy, but should instead just embrace his newfound self-assurance and freedom. In the novel, Hyde revolts everyone who sees him (not because he's physically ugly—he isn't—but because people can sense something terribly wrong with him), and amongst other things, tramples a child and later beats an old man to death in a rage. Moreover, neither Jekyll nor Hyde display any remorse, and are only worried about being caught... yeah, stick to the hard sciences, Chuck.

James McAvoy called the movie a "love story" between Xavier and Magneto, even though, when pressed for clarification, he admitted they were not gay. The film certainly concentrated heavily on the two's relationship, and the final scene, in which the two split and their surrogate children chose sides, played out like a couple's divorce.

X-Men: First Class / int_63be4131	comment	Pretty Boy: Appearance-wise, Dr. Charles Xavier is strongly defined by his boyishness: he has a soft, round face, baby blue eyes, cherry-red lips (the colour is so deep at times that it almost looks like he's wearing lipstick), and is of shorter-than-average height. It's symbolic of his sensitive, nice guy qualities. Erik Lehnsherr even calls him "adorable" when Charles tries the Cerebro machine for the first time. With his fair complexion, the young telepath resembles a living porcelain doll, and his fragility becomes evident when he "breaks" physically and emotionally during the climax. Dr. Hank McCoy is quite similar to Xavier (just younger and a lot more insecure). While this may be a coincidence, it's nevertheless convenient that he shares some facial features with his mentor, like pale skin, blue eyes and thick reddish lips. The one big physical difference between them is that Hank is a lot taller.

X-Men: First Class / int_643879c7	comment	Comic-Book Movies Don't Use Codenames: Double-subverted, justified, enforced, and invoked all at once. Codenames are something of a plot point; it's shown that the concept of a "true name" began with Xavier's eponymous "first class." However, it's originally used in playful jest (the teenagers even come up with codenames "Professor X" and "Magneto"—Xavier and Lehnsherr both respond unenthusiastically to the idea) and doesn't become serious until Magneto insists upon being called by that name at the very end of the film. The name "Professor X" is only used twice in both this movie and X-Men Film Series, and Xavier brushes it off. Hank eventually uses the name "Beast" towards the end of the movie. "Darwin" is actually a nickname which happens to fit his powers, and his real name (Armando) is never referenced. It gets a bit tricky with Angel; in the comics, her code name is Tempest, and Angel is her real name, but in this movie she explicitly states that Angel is a stage name.

X-Men: First Class / int_69681e01	comment	Big Brother Instinct: Charles had this for Raven, being very concerned for hiding her mutant form in public and telling her directly that he didn't want anything to happen to her. However, his relationship with his foster sister deconstructs this phenomenon because it caused him to become overprotective to the point where he denied her the chance to embrace her true appearance and be proud of what she was, as well as caused him to ignore her very obvious crush on him. This in turn made Raven turn to Erik as a mentor/love interest and eventually join him in his cause against humanity. Darwin develops this for the younger mutant recruits, especially when Shaw attacked the CIA base. Unfortunately, this only gets him killed by Shaw when he tries to protect Angel from him. By the time of the Cuban Missile Crisis, Erik had already begun to view Charles as a brother figure. When the Blackbird spiraled out of control, Magneto used his body to shield Xavier from injury, and he immediately halted his attack on the American and Soviet naval forces when Charles was shot.

In 1962 the USS Independence was an aircraft carrier CVA-62, commissioned three years previously. The US Navy's 9-gun battleships of the Iowa class were decommissioned in 1958, and briefly recommissioned again in 1968-9, before being decommissioned until they were extensively refit in the early 1980s. Also, the engagement range of an Iowa class battleship was up to 20 miles, and they would seek to engage at no less than six to eight miles. They certainly would not permit themselves to be drawn into the close proximity shown in the movie (a few hundred yards from the Soviet ships) unless they were assured of peaceful intent and maneuvering for a rendezvous to board. It's also doubtful that the draft of the ships depicted would permit them to sail within a mile of the Cuban coast as depicted in the movie.

He's trying to stay away from people so he doesn't hurt them with the energy blasts that are his mutant power, and which he has great difficulty in controlling.

When Erik enters the room to confront him, he has no trouble spotting Shaw, nor does Shaw try to use the reflections to hide. Interestingly enough, once the room is damaged by the Big Bad himself, Charles is able to use his telepathy and help Erik defeat him.

Moira desperately shoots at Erik to stop/distract him from wiping out a combined Russian/American fleet, thus forcing him to deflect the bullets and one of which paralyzes Charles right next to him. Charles erases Moira's memory, clearly discrediting her within the CIA and possibly ruining her career. The fact that one of the few snatches of memory she has left is of their kiss is just the icing on the cake (see Deliberate Values Dissonance). Charles trains Erik, helping him improve his power. This backfires when he decides to turn into Magneto. Had Charles and Hank shown acceptance for Raven's true form, she might not have teamed up with Erik. Alex, when he tries to fight Shaw at the CIA base. He had no way of knowing the energy from his power was enough to destroy Darwin. It's made even worse when you consider that Shaw's power relies on an external source—he literally did not have the ability to kill Darwin until Alex attacked.

X-Men: First Class / int_7febc23b	comment	Establishing Character Moment: The Nazi scientist, Dr. Klaus Schmidt, tries to get the young Erik to use his powers to move a coin, first by using a chocolate bar and when that doesn't work... he then shoots Erik's mother in the face. When the kid has a BSOD and tears the place up with his metal powers, the guy laughs with satisfaction. The funny thing is, the Nazi scientist persona was a cover for his true identity, but that moment told you precisely the kind of a son of a bitch from hell you were dealing with. The following scene shows an adult Erik sitting silently in a hotel room, fiddling with the same coin using his powers. He stares at a wall papered with pictures of notable Nazis, including a hand drawing of Dr. Schmidt. He looks at it for a moment before spearing the picture of Schmidt with the coin. Everything we need to know about how this man becomes Magneto is right in that scene. When we first see Xavier as a kid, the framed photos on his night table are of Charles Darwin, Hedy Lamarr (who was both a Hollywood sex symbol and the co-inventor of a radio-guided torpedo system) and Albert Einstein. He would later grow up to be a scientist with an appreciation for both brains and beauty. Charles is very brave even as a child because when he suspects that a burglar has broken into his home, instead of alerting his parents or a servant, he grabs a baseball bat and approaches the intruder by himself. The first meeting between a young Charles and Raven. It established her isolation due to her appearance, and the fact that she is willing to latch on to anyone who accepts her, and it showed his kindness and delight at finding other people who were different.

X-Men: First Class / int_8ed5c6e4	comment	Asshole Victim: Who felt sorry for those SS troopers little Erik kills by crushing their helmets along with their heads or those two Nazi escapees grown-up Erik tracks down and executes in Argentina? Sebastian Shaw when he's killed by Magneto near the end. Considering in his first scene he had murdered Erik's mother right in front of the boy's eyes, it's highly doubtful anybody in the audience really feels any sympathy for him. Charles on the other hand, who was telepathically with Shaw and felt all the pain of his death, is someone to feel sorry for. Also, most of the CIA Agents. A couple of them walk by the mutant's room, saying "I didn't know the circus was in town!" Then, seconds later, they all get dropped from the sky. One of them is even begging to live, telling Shaw where they are, only to then get killed. One might also think this of the American and Soviet fleets near the end, who fired on the mutants out of fear and were only stopped from dying by Xavier distracting Erik.

X-Men: First Class / int_8fac4a3a	comment	Superpower Lottery: All of Sebastian Shaw's mutants are winners: Azazel has the exploitable teleportation, Emma is both telepathic and capable of becoming sold diamond which both aids fighting and blocks other telepaths, and Riptide quickly makes tornados. With the exception of "Phoenix" (a.k.a. Jean Grey), Shaw himself is by far the most powerful mutant ever encountered by the X-Men. His base ability of Energy Absorption is set so high and is so versatile that not even Erik can hold him once he's absorbed the power of a nuclear reactor. He cannot be punched or shot as he nullifies kinetic energy, and he's smart enough to have crafted a helmet that completely blocks Charles' telepathy.

He's certainly not to blame for both his own descent into madness, nor single-handedly almost causing WWIII after just having prevented it. Given exactly WHO is responsible for his descent is a bit more valid of a Freudian Excuse than usual, even if it ends up with him being not that different, up to the point of agreeing with the primary target of his hunt.

This is how he kills Shaw in their final confrontation, except much slower. Also part Chekhov's Skill where Erik asks Charles to shoot him point-blank, and when met with Charles' refusal, he states he can deflect it. This comes back at the end where Moira shoots at Magneto to stop him from sending the missiles back at the American and Russian navies and he easily deflects the bullets ... only to have one bullet hit Charles and paralyze him. In a scene where Havok is learning to shoot straight in the bomb shelter, Charles and Hank are standing on either side of the target mannequin. Charles says, with light emphasis, "And try not to hit me, there's a good chap." A little odd, considering Hank is just as likely to get hit, so it should be "us." Later in the movie, Charles is hit by a bullet, due to standing right next to its intended target, Erik. Before the attack at the CIA base, Havok beats Darwin at a pinball game. Darwin declares "Jesus man, you're killing me!" Later, Shaw uses the energy absorbed from Havok's blast to kill Darwin.

The X-Men: First Class theme (besides the two eponymous tracks "First Class" and "X-Men") plays heavily in "Cerebro" and "X-Training," and heartwarmingly shows up for Erik in "Sub Lift." When listening to the complete score on the Blu-Ray release, Charles is associated with a simple orchestral violin melody which gradually evolves into the X-Men: First Class theme. This makes perfect sense because he's the leader of the group. "Rage and Serenity" is actually a combination of Charles' and Erik's themes. Raven's piano theme shows up in "Would You Date Me?" and "To Beast or Not to Beast." Ã‰dith Piaf's "La Vie en Rose" for Sebastian Shaw.

Despite living a much more comfortable and privileged life than his friend, the one beautiful thing that Charles never got to experience is a mother's warm affection. In the same scene, a visible tear falls down Erik's face because he didn't know he still carried that cherished memory of his mother. After Charles gets shot, he only sheds one noticeable tear which is partly because of his injury, but mostly because he is forced to tell Erik that no, they really do not want the same thing, and knows that this realization will push his friend away for good.

This film approaches it differently; Sebastian Shaw has a telepathy-blocking helmet that protects him from Xavier from the start; at the climax, Erik steals the helmet, Xavier freezes Shaw's mind, Erik kills Shaw and declares himself the Big Bad. With Charles helpless to stop him, the two part ways to kick start the X-Men film franchise.

A few scenes later, he kills Darwin and later on presumably orders his team to kill Xavier's X-Men during the Cuba battle; he also isn't averse to beating up Erik. Charles uses "mutant and proud" as part of his pick-up lines, which are a very erudite variation on "you have pretty (insert trait here)", in the presence of his foster sister, who has been actively discouraged by Charles from taking any pride in her mutation. A more assertive Raven expects Charles to fully accept her mutant form, yet she still insists that he can't read her mind, which clearly indicates that she's not completely comfortable with her foster brother's gift. When Erik shows the Nazis in the bar his holocaust tatto, and makes it clear he knows who the two men are, one of them throws the old "Just Following Orders" line at him. Erik surely would never have considered this excuse under any circumstances, but the fact that the man had just tried to stab Erik in the absence of any overt threat, and that he did so with the Nazi dagger that he apparently carries everywhere, speaks volumes about his contrition.

However, as she socializes with the rest of the nascent X-Men and her relationship with Erik Lensherr blossoms, she becomes progressively more confident - especially once Erik encourages her to take pride in her true form - until at last she becomes the sly, seductive Shapeshifting Trickster of the first three movies.

X-Men: First Class / int_de86b894	comment	Continuity Drift: Dr. Hank McCoy makes his first appearance in a background cameo in X2: X-Men United, where he's a human-looking scientist being interviewed on a news program. When he appears in X-Men: The Last Stand, he's a politician with a spot in the United States Presidential Cabinet, and he appears in his classic blue-furred simian mutant form. Then this movie reveals that he was one of Professor Xavier's original X-Men and that he's had blue fur since his early 20's, when one of his experiments went awry and accelerated his mutation. In an Author's Saving Throw, X-Men: Days of Future Past reveals that Hank developed a serum that let him pass for human for short periods. It also clarifies the true nature of his close relationship with Charles Xavier, establishing that he was the only one of Xavier's original students that stayed behind when Xavier shut the school down during the Vietnam War. A flashback at the beginning of X-Men: The Last Stand (which likely takes place in the late 1970's or early 1980's) shows Professor Xavier walking upright, and clearly still allies with Erik Lehnsherr. This movie reveals that Lehnsherr was responsible for paralyzing Xavier in 1962, and that their friendship ended immediately after. Dr. Moira MacTaggert is first introduced in a brief cameo in X-Men: The Last Stand, where she's a British scientist who has apparently been friendly with Charles Xavier for years. In this film, which takes place about 40 years before the rest of the series, she's an American CIA agent who has her memories of Xavier erased at the end of the movie. X-Men states that Magneto built his psychic-proof helmet around the time that Senator Kelly's Mutant Registration Act led him to ramp up the Brotherhood's terrorist campaign, since he knew that Xavier was tracking him. This movie establishes that he's had his helmet since the 1960s, and that he originally stole it from Sebastian Shaw. Perhaps he meant an upgraded version to keep up with Cerebro. X-Men Origins: Wolverine features a brief appearance by Kayla Silver Fox's sister: a blonde-haired woman who's clearly intended to be Emma Frost (she has Emma's ability to turn her body into organic diamond, and is listed as "Emma" in the final credits). This film explicitly introduces Emma Frost as a major character—who's around the same age as the character in Origins (even though the two films take place 15 years apart), has psychic powers that were never mentioned in Origins, and never gives any indication that she's related to Kayla Silver Fox. Despite both being major characters with top billing, Professor Xavier and Mystique never seem to directly interact with each other in the original trilogy, and they never give any indication that they have a history. Since this movie reveals that Mystique is Xavier's foster sister and they grew up together which means that Xavier has known her even longer than he's known Erik Lehnsherr.

The establishing shot shows snowy mountains and a beautiful lake surrounded by hills. The problem is that, although you can find a lot of cities that look like that in the southern part of the country, the real Villa Gesell is a beach city located nowhere near that area. The shot resembles the Argentinian city of Villa La Angostura where, according to legend, some Nazis hid away after World War II with the help of President PerÃ³n. So the mistake wasn't THAT big, but it was extremely hilarious for the Argentinian public. A map shown after the Las Vegas scene shows Kiev as being close to the Soviet/Polish border.note Ukrainian/Polish border post-Soviet dissolution Kiev is hundreds of miles away from that border.

X-Men: First Class / int_f1d6144a	comment	War Is Hell: The Holocaust. The death of a parent, and the medicalized torture of an innocent child. All within the first 20 minutes. Then, for Erik, knowing that the people that killed your family and millions of others will go free unless you personally devote your life to hunting them down. The adolescent mutants find out the hard way. They're just stoked to discover that other mutants (their own age, at that) exist, and after being approached and brought together by Professor X, Magneto, and the CIA, they decide to act crazy with their powers and party, having been left unsupervised by Xavier, Lehnsherr, and MacTaggert. When the Hellfire Club shows up and slaughters the CIA soldiers who were stationed at the facility to guard them, the kids break down emotionally—some of them are even reduced to fearful tears.

Charles is so fond of his hair that he immediately dismisses Hank's suggestion that he shave it off before he tests Cerebro. It's costume designer Sammy Sheldon's intention to make the character as stylish as possible within a conservative academic setting.

This also serves as foreshadowing, since in the end of the movie Erik kills Sebastian Shaw in the exact same way.

They're made of more practical material than the spandex/cloth look of the comics, and there are no masks. Magneto also appears at the end with his trademark red-and-purple costume and helmet.

X-Men: First Class / int_fa0984a1	comment	Xavier uses his telepathy to "guess" the drink orders of the women he flirts with. Executive producer Tarquin Pack lampshades this specific example in the rare "Extraordinary Abilities" featurette. (See the Bonus Material entry.) Given that, in this film alone, Xavier demonstrates the ability to psychically freeze people like statues and give irresistible commands ("Get in the car"), and simply skimming someone's drink order becomes a healthily downplayed example.

Unfortunately, Shaw was the one who killed Magneto's mother in the concentration camp, so Magneto kills him and takes up his "mutant vs. human" crusade himself. Later, he tells Xavier that he wants him by his side in the cause, but Xavier refuses.

While modern research indicates that it was more likely the two interbred, at the time of the film (the '60s) the theory was not yet established at large. In X2, Storm recites the interbreeding theory to the class at the start of the film, making this double as a Call-Forward.
