X-Men Comic: The X-Men first appeared in X-Men #1 (1963) created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. The comic introduced us to Charles Xavier and his X-Men. The original X-Men team was made up of Cyclops (Scott Summers), Marvel Girl (Jean Grey) and Iceman (Bobby Drake) three characters who appear in this film. I'll not mention the other two as you've yet to be introduced to them. Other noticeable X-Men characters you already know during this time would be Wanda and Pietro Maximoff who first appeared in X-Men #4 (1964) alongside Magneto and his Brotherhood of Mutants. Todd was also introduced in this comic as well and I find it super funny that you called Charles "Mastermind" as there's actually a X-Men villain called Mastermind who appeared in X-Men #4 as well. Characters like Storm among others not shown in this film were introduced in Giant Size X-Men #1 (1975) a new X-Men team who were tasked with saving the original X-Men members. Wolverine also appeared in Giant Size X-Men #1 as a member of this new team but he actually made his first appearance the year before in The Incredible Hulk #180 (1974) appearing in the final panel, next issue The Incredible Hulk #181 (1974) Wolverine would make a full appearance. Rogue wouldn't appear until Avengers Annual #10 (1981) while Mystique would make her first appearance in Ms. Marvel #16 (1978) as a small cameo first appearance. The X-Men of the comics exist within the same shared continuity as The Avengers, Fantastic Four, Spider-Man etc. You can already see how interconnected everything was within the comics by alot of these characters first introductions. From Wolverine appearing in Hulk to Mystique appearing in a Ms. Marvel comic etc. When it came to the films, Fox owned the movie rights to X-Men making it impossible for the MCU to crossover during this time. But they did try for example Magneto was planned to show up in Captain America: The First Avenger (2011) as a child, both films are set around the same time so it makes sense and Captain America was active during WW2. They also planned on featuring another X-Men character in The First Avenger but I will not say who for spoiler reasons. Nick Fury in Iron Man (2008) featured a deleted scene that featured him mentioning Mutants but was cut from the final film. And of course Wanda and Pietro Maximoff are both featured in the MCU but Marvel had to work around their Mutant origins as requested by Fox. But since 2019 Marvel with Wandavision has hinted that Wanda always had abilities or at least discovered her powers when her parents were killed, putting a "hex" on the Stark Bomb. The Infinity stone just enhanced her abilities rather than being the source of her powers. --------------------------------------------------------- People's Views on Superhero Films During 2000: X-Men (2000) came out at a time when Comic's and Superhero movies in general were still pretty niche, at least compared to today when it came to live action, Animation was killing it though with the X-Men, Batman, Spider-Man Animated Series to name a few. But post Batman & Robin (1997) Superhero films put a bad taste in alot of peoples mouths thanks to the reputation of that film. So when it came time for an X-Men film alot of the people involved were worried that having a very comic book aesthetic would turn away the mainstream audience, the director Bryan Singer including many of the higher ups thought that the uniquely individual and colourful costumes of the comic books would turn off the mainstream audience. So that's basically why we see the X-Men wearing Black Leather in these films. Cyclops little "What did you expect, Yellow Spandex" line of course is a nod to the comic outfits, Wolverine's iconic suit being his Yellow and Blue suit. Kevin Feige who we know as the President of Marvel Studios and face of the MCU was actually hired by Marvel as a producer on this film, one of his first Marvel projects before he climbed up the ladder to becoming the President of Marvel Studios in 2007. Feige was one of the producers pushing for the X-Men to wear their iconic costumes but as he wasn't a big name during this time no one really listened to him. The director even banned X-Men comics from coming onto the set so Kevin Feige and many of the actors had to smuggle comics into the sets creating a little smuggling network of X-Men comic books. -------------------------------------------------------------- The X-Men Were More Popular Than The Avengers!!! The X-Men were by far Marvels most loved Superhero team throughout the 1970s to early/mid 2000s. We had comics, animated shows, video games, arcade games, everyone loved The X-Men and could not get enough. X-Men and Spider-Man were Marvel's two biggest IPs. The Avengers during this time was pretty unknown to the mainstream audience, even some comic fans. Characters like Hulk was well known thanks to The Incredible Hulk (1977) TV series that ran into the 1980s. But characters like Captain America, Iron Man, Antman etc. These were seen as B List Superhero's who wouldn't be able to sell out a movie theatre. It wasn't until Iron Man (2008) and the birth of the MCU that The Avengers started to become household names and overtake The X-Men in popularly to the point that people introduced to Marvel by the MCU had no idea that the X-Men were even Marvel IPs. So over the course of a few years The Avengers became the face of Marvel and the X-Men were kind of pushed to the side in comics and animation until the last few years. X-Men 97 has launched the team into the mainstream once again and people adore it.

X-Men The Animated Series was highly successful on the Fox Kids block. The positive response it had was the reason that 20th Century Fox took a chance at creating the X-Men live-action films to begin with. This first entry in the franchise is one of several movies that started the live-action comic book movie craze that we have today. I can also say in my opinion that it had a heap amount of perfect casting. Patrick Stewart, Ian McKellen, Halle Berry, and Hugh Jackman among several others have aced their respective roles. We look forward to you checking out the rest of this film series. Most of the entries you’re about to watch are really good. You’re in for a wild ride. The bald man in the wheelchair is Charles Xavier. His codename is Professor X. His 838 variant who you saw in the Multiverse of Madness was using a hoverchair just like in the cartoon. In the comics, Rogue’s birth name is Anna-Marie but her surname is unknown. For the novelization of the movie, they gave her an official full name Marie D’Ancanto. I recently started watching The Boys because Vince and Shoshana (The Perfect Mix) are watching it as well. You were right about Shawn Ashmore. He was Lamplighter, but years before his role in The Boys he ironically portrayed Bobby Drake/Iceman. In case you’re curious about Shawn’s other roles, he currently portrays an LAPD officer in the ABC cop drama The Rookie.

This is a great post. A lot of reactors would benefit from reading this, especially the distinction between Marvel and the MCU. They hear that Sony owns Spider-Man or Fox owned X-Men and then are surprised to see references to Marvel or Stan Lee in those movies. It might be nice if Marvel had never sold or leased the movie rights to some of their characters, but without the success of those early films maybe the MCU doesn’t happen.

They sold or leased their characters because they were going bankrupt at the time. The investment saved Marvel.

As a STEM Ambassador visiting schools it's interesting to see the parallels of teen behaviours demonstrated herein, even though the young people I meet have very different gifts, the production team clearly did their research.
