[edit] X-Men
See also: List of X-Men members and X-Men in other media
[edit] Angel

Warren Worthington III appears in the 2006 feature film X-Men: The
Last Stand portrayed by Ben Foster. In the film, Warren (referred as
Angel in the credits but never called by this name in the dialogue) is
a young man in his early twenties, the son of a rich industrialist who
is motivated by his son's mutation to create a "cure" for mutants. In
a flashback, Warren as a boy (portrayed by Cayden Boyd) is seen
attempting to cut off what would eventually become his wings. Warren
flees before Dr. Kavita Rao could inject the cure into him, and goes
to find the X-Men for help. He later makes an appearance in the final
confrontation against Magneto's Brotherhood of Mutants, rescuing his
father after he is thrown off of a roof by Quill, Arclight and
Psylocke. Towards the end of the film, he is seen flying across the
repaired Golden Gate Bridge and past several people in a park, moments
before the camera shifts its focus to a depowered Magneto. Although
seen in the leather X-Men uniform in promotional posters, Warren does
not wear it (at least visibly), and is seen in civilian clothes most
of the time.
[edit] Beast
[edit] X2: X-Men United

In the movie X2: X-Men United, Beast appeared in an early draft, but
was soon deleted due too many characters. However, Dr. Hank McCoy is
seen in his normal human appearance in a small cameo played by Steve
Bacic. He appears on the television in the bar scene as an authority
on human mutation. A deleted scene during the sequence in which Dark
Cerebro is set to kill all mutants shows Hank McCoy affected by the
machine, causing him to take on his blue-furred simian appearance seen
in the next movie.
[edit] X-Men: The Last Stand

In X-Men: The Last Stand, Kelsey Grammer portrays him. Beast is
established as one of the earlier X-Men, and after having graduated
from the Institute, he left and became involved in politics, becoming
Secretary of Mutant Affairs. He is also confirmed to be a brilliant
scientific researcher with vast intelligence and insight into mutant
genetics on the official website. [4]

After meeting Leech and the cure is released, he contacts Xavier and
informs him of the situation, saying he can understand why some
mutants would want to be free of persecution. Once the weaponization
of the cure is made without his knowledge, Beast resigns from his
position in the government and arrives at Xavier's mansion, where he
feels he should be due to his principles. When the Brotherhood makes a
move upon Alcatraz Island (the location of the lab which created the
cure, as well as young Leech's location), Beast joins the X-Men,
donning his old uniform (commenting on how it feels smaller than
before), and helps to hold the Brotherhood back. He seems to revert to
a more primal nature in the fight, often roaring as well as defeating
his opponents with a savage fighting style that even surprises
Wolverine. He ultimately injects Magneto with the cure. After the
incident, he is made United States Ambassador to the United Nations.

In the novelization of the film, and in an alternate ending on the
DVD, he turns this position down and remains at the school as a
teacher. A deleted scene shows him breaking the neck of one of the
Brotherhood mutants invading Alcatraz Island.
[edit] Colossus
[edit] X2

    * In the 2003 film X2, Colossus is played by Daniel Cudmore. After
the school is attacked, he rescues Siryn and leads the younger
students to safety. He does not have his Russian accent in this film.
He has only a few lines in this film, as he is only in it for about a
minute.

[edit] X-Men: The Last Stand

    * Cudmore reprises the role in the 2006 film X-Men: The Last
Stand. His name was changed to Peter Rasputin (although in the
official site his whole name is his original name, with "Peter" as a
nickname, hence, Piotr "Peter" Rasputin). In the Danger Room, he
throws Wolverine up in the air (a Fastball Special), who then takes
down a Sentinel. He also joins the battle with the other X-Men against
Magneto on Alcatraz Island. Like in the Danger Room, he throws
Wolverine at Magneto, which is a distraction so that Beast can inject
Magneto with several of the "cure" darts. Despite being in promotional
art for the film, and being in the film much longer than the other two
appearances, Colossus only has two lines in the entire film (Bobby
Drake asks what happened to Rogue. He merely replies, "She took off",
and when Wolverine tells him to throw him at the Sentinel, replying,
"Are you serious?"). In the novelization of the film, Colossus and
Shadowcat apparently had a brief relationship but broke up with
Colossus still having feelings for the latte

[edit] Cyclops

In the feature film X-Men (2000) and its sequels X2 (2003) and X-Men:
The Last Stand (2006), Cyclops, real name Scott Summers in the film,
is portrayed by James Marsden. Although an important figure and leader
in the films, his role is increasingly reduced in favor of other
characters, especially Wolverine. This is most evident in the sequels.
Fans of Cyclops and X-Men in general were outraged by this, and one

IGN.com contributor wrote: "Cyclops was misunderstood, miswritten,

misdirected and generally mismanaged in this series." However, James
Marsden's performance in the films was well-received, and garnered him
a Blockbuster Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor. In the
prequel X-Men Origins: Wolverine set 17 years before the X-Men series,
actor Tim Pocock makes a minor role as a young Scott Summers.[1]
[edit] X-Men

In the first movie Cyclops is the X-Men field leader and a teacher at
the school. He has a long-term relationship with Jean Grey. He begins
to have dislike to Wolverine after he sees him flirting with her.
After Rogue runs away, Profeesor Xavier sends him and Storm to the
train station to find her, but he is stopped by Toad in the process.
Toad removes his eye glasses, causing him to unleash the full force of
his red laser beam and destroying the train roof station. After
Magneto sabotages Cerebro and Professor Xavier falls into a coma, he
becomes the leader of the X-Men. When him and the X-Men arrive at the
Statue of Liberty, he is locked in a display cage by Toad but escapes
by using his optric blast. When he arrives at the top of the statue,
he blasts Sabretooth out of the statue. During when Wolverine tries
free Rogue, he has a good shot and hits Magneto, wounding him.
[edit] X2: X-Men United

In beginning of X2, Jean tells Scott that she has a bad feeling that
something ...

===Cyclops===
In the [[feature film]] ''[[X-Men (film)|X-Men]]'' (2000) and its

| accessdate=2008-05-07}}</ref>

====''X-Men''====
In the first movie Cyclops is the X-Men field leader and a teacher at
the school. He has a long-term relationship with [[Jean Grey]]. He
begins to have dislike to Wolverine after he sees him flirting with
her. After Rogue runs away, Profeesor Xavier sends him and Storm to
the train station to find her, but he is stopped by Toad in the
process. Toad removes his eye glasses, causing him to unleash the full
force of his red laser beam and destroying the train roof station.
After Magneto sabotages Cerebro and Professor Xavier falls into a
coma, he becomes the leader of the X-Men. When him and the X-Men
arrive at the [[Statue of Liberty]], he is locked in a display cage by
Toad but escapes by using his optric blast. When he arrives at the top
of the statue, he blasts Sabretooth out of the statue. During when
Wolverine tries free Rogue, he has a good shot and hits Magneto,
wounding him.

====''X2: X-Men United''====
In beginning of ''X2'', Jean tells Scott that she has a bad feeling
that something terrible will occur, but Scott assures Jean that he
would never let anything happen to her. Cyclops accompanies Professor
X to visit [[Magneto (comics)|Magneto]], who is locked in a plastic
prison cell. While waiting for Professor X, Lady Deathstrike and the
prison guards attack Cyclops. Cyclops is captured along with Professor
X. After [[William Stryker]] brainwashes Cyclops, Stryker has him
waiting for the X-Men, ready to ambush them. The resulting battle
between Cyclops and Jean cracks the dam under which they are fighting.
After freeing Cyclops, Jean engulfs herself in a flame-like Phoenix
aura and appears to sacrifice herself so the X-Men can escape the
water. Cyclops becomes distraught over Jean's sacrifice, and will
become withdrawn soon after.

====''X-Men: The Last Stand''====
Cyclops had very little screen time in ''The Last Stand''. About 15
minutes in the film (The reason due to this was because James Marsden
had to finish fliming Superman Returns). About 30 minutes into the
film, after spending some time mourning Jean's death and trying to
cope with his grief, a moody and withdrawn Cyclops returns to Alkali
Lake where he hears Jean voice in the river. He begs for it to stop
and uses his full force of optric blasts. Out of the water, he
confronts the resurrected Jean Grey. She tells him she can control his
optric blasts and she does and the two kiss Lacking complete control
over the Phoenix, Jean "apparently" kills him off screen by atomizing
him as they kiss. His death is not shown on screen but is mentioned 3
times in the film. Though his body is never found, his ruby-quartz
glasses are later seen floating in the air around the lake when
Wolverine and Storm arrive. At the end of the film, his grave can be
seen, next to Jean's and Xavier's. Despite appearing in his X-Men
leather uniform and battle visor in the film's promotional posters,
Cyclops is never seen wearing it in the actual film.

Sure. But what is the "issue" that needs to be settled?
