These X-Men are different from any we have seen before, but they still manage to see all sorts of combat, leading to a reimagined Cuban Missile Crisis that changes the fate of the newly-formed X-Men forever.
X-Men: First Classīack in the 1960s, we see a walking Charles Xavier and a stable Erik Lehnsherr working together, still on the way to becoming the iconic Professor X and Magneto. While some of this film's events are referenced in other movies, it is not clear whether this story is completely canon. After these painful experiments and an even more painful fallout with his brother, James's life changes forever. Weapon X was composed of only mutants and eventually became the basis for some dangerous experiments that James was forced to endure. It recounts how he discovered his natural skeleton claws, his childhood with his brother Victor (aka Sabretooth), and how Colonel Stryker created the Weapon X strike team. X-Men Origins: Wolverine is the backstory of James Howlett, the man who would be Wolverine.
