[edit] X-Men

[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 terrible will occur, but Scott assures Jean that he would
never let anything happen to her. Cyclops accompanies Professor X to
visit 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.
[edit] 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.
[edit] X-Men Origins: Wolverine

A young Cyclops has a minor role in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, where he
is played by Australian actor Tim Pocock. He is first seen being
scolded and sent to detention by his teacher for wearing his
protective sunglasses in class. Later, while being punished to copy
words on a blackboard, he is attacked by Sabretooth who wants to
capture him for William Stryker's mutant experiments. During the
chase, Cyclops' sunglasses fall off and his optic blasts damage the
school building. He is finally taken captive and temporarily blinded,
but is soon freed when a vengeful Wolverine attacks Stryker's
facility. While escaping, Cyclops makes use of his eye beams to
annihilate Stryker's minions, being pointed in the right direction by
Emma Frost. He is then guided by the telepathic voice of Professor X
who guides him and the other mutants to safety. Outside, he meets
Professor X for the first time and leaves with him on his helicopter.
[edit] Dazzler

* In the film X2: X-Men United, her name appears on a list of
names Mystique scrolls through on Stryker's computer while looking for
Magneto's file.

* Dazzler was also rumored to make a cameo appearance in X-Men:
The Last Stand and portrayed by Canadian country singer Beverley
Mahood.[2] Mahood didn't get a chance to film any scenes as her
character was ultimately cut out of the final script.

[edit] Emma Frost

* When Bryan Singer was still slated to direct the third
installment of the X-Men film series the role of Emma Frost was
intended for Sigourney Weaver.[3] After Singer left the project in
favor of making Superman Returns, the character was dropped
completely.

* Emma Frost appears in the 2009 film X-Men Origins: Wolverine
portrayed by Tahyna Tozzi. She has the ability to change into a
diamond form but does not display telepathy. In the film, her sister,
Kayla Silverfox, works for Stryker under the agreement that Emma will
be freed from the Weapons Facility, though Stryker later reneges on
their agreement. Emma assists in the escape attempt of the other
captured mutant children, using her diamond form to block incoming
bullets from hitting them, and then shields Cyclops so he can defeat
the attacking guards. Before the film's release, rumors stated that
actor Hugh Jackman identified the character as Emma Frost in the
film's trailer at Comic-Con 2008, though no such identification was
made. The character's identification was later supported by a Marvel
article released on their official website and in commercial trailers,
though she is only credited as "Kayla's sister/Emma" in the film
credits.[4][5]

[edit] Gambit

* In X2, his name was seen on a screen among a list of other
mutants when Mystique hacks the system of William Stryker for
information on different mutants. Stuntman James Bamford filmed a
cameo as Gambit before it was cut. Instead, this was added to Chris
Claremont's novelization of the X2 movie. The book itself never
mentions Gambit by name, but he is shown as one of the mutants seen
being affected by Dark Cerebro's activation. He is playing cards in a
New Orleans bar when he suddenly falls in pain and causes a table to
explode. In the X3 novelization, he is a new student at the mansion
being trained by Wolverine, along with Cannonball, Danielle Moonstar,
and Sage.[6]

* An early leaked script suggested that Gambit would be included
in X-Men: The Last Stand as a new recruit and Iceman's romantic rival
for Rogue's affection. Josh Holloway was offered the role but declined
it due to scheduling conflicts on Lost. An interview with producer
Lauren Shuler Donner reveals that Channing Tatum auditioned for the
role, before the character was cut.[7] In an interview with Wizard
magazine, WWE professional wrestler Gregory 'The Hurricane' Helms said
that he had planned to read for the part before the change of
producers and director.[8] According to the audio commentary of X-Men:
The Last Stand, Gambit was to appear in the prison convoy scene of the
movie, before the character was cut. In the commentary of the movie
the director reveals that they did seriously consider putting Gambit
in the movie but decided against it as they thought it was too small a
role for such a big character. Lauren Shuler Donner revealed that
James Franco auditioned for the role in X-Men: The Last Stand but
didn't get the role before the character was cut.

* Friday Night Lights star Taylor Kitsch plays Gambit in director
Gavin Hood's 2009 film X-Men Origins: Wolverine. In the storyline Remy
LeBeau is a former prisoner of William Stryker for 2 years, who was
dubbed 'Gambit' from his guards as he kept beating them in poker.
After two years he managed to escape the facility, but was later
confronted by Wolverine, who wanted to know where Stryker's base was
to destroy it. Gambit, mistakenly believing he was sent to recapture
him, attacked and later interrupted a fight between Wolverine and
Sabertooth, inadvertently letting Sabertooth escape and robbing
Wolverine of his revenge. After Wolverine defeats him, Gambit sees he
is sincere and flies him to Stryker's base. At the conclusion, Gambit
briefly returns to his side, and, after Wolverine's memories are lost,
tells him his 'name': Logan. He offers to help get Logan and
Silverfox's body off the island, but Logan turns him down, stating he
can find his own way.
His trademark brown trench coat has been rendered to a black
leather duster, the character does not wear gloves or boots, and his
signature Red on Black eyes have been reduced to normal colored eyes
that merely glow red when he uses his power. Gambits powers are also
altered slightly, as he demonstrates limited telekinesis and the power
to charge objects without necessarily touching them. He uses this to
charge and launch several cards at once. This version of Gambit seems
to be lightly inspired by the Ultimate X-Men version of the character,
who is a retired thief and sporting a "cleaned up" accent that is a
Southern/Cajun mix.[9]

[edit] Jean Grey

Famke Janssen portrays Jean Grey/Phoenix in the feature films X-Men,
X2: X-Men United, and X-Men: The Last Stand. A young version of Jean
is also seen in X-Men: The Last Stand, and is played by Haley Ramm.
[edit] X-Men

In X-Men, Jean was introduced as the team’s medical doctor (reportedly
as a substitute for Dr. Hank McCoy, who would have required prosthetic
makeup) and is involved in a long-term relationship with Cyclops. A
love triangle develops between her, Cyclops, and Wolverine. Jean's
powers are mild compared to her teammates' and her telepathy is not as
powerful as that of Professor X, who is still teaching her to develop
it. She can levitate small objects, and in the Statue of Liberty
battle scene she is able to cease Toad's momentum very briefly, keep
Wolverine steady as Storm propels him through the air, and lift
Cyclops' visor into the air. An early version of the "Phoenix effect"
can be seen as a glow when she manages to help Wolverine achieve his
goal of breaking the machine with his claws.
[edit] X2: X-Men United

In X2: X-Men United, at the Science Museum, Jean expresses her
concerns to Cyclops about her experiences of frequent bad dreams and
headaches. She states that her powers have been increasing since the
events of "Liberty Island". The exact cause is never mentioned
onscreen, although it is stated in the first film's DVD commentary
that it is a side effect of her being in close proximity to Magneto's
machine. Jean begins to exhibit Phoenix-like powers as she uses her
telekinesis to deflect the missiles fired at the X-Men while trying to
escape from the US Air Force. Her eyes glow fiery red as she
successfully destroys one missile, and also in another incident, when
she fights Cyclops who is under William Stryker's control, and is able
to telekinetically shield herself from Cyclops' optic beam before
dispersing it and scattering the energy about, causing it to destroy
the dam's structural integrity. After the destruction in Alkali Lake,
Jean sacrifices herself to save her teammates from the ruptured dam.
Her power reaches to the maximum level as she sends the inoperative X-
Jet away, telepathically cancels Nightcrawler's teleportation to
prevent him from rescuing her, and communicating with Cyclops through
Professor X, as she momentarily holds back the resulting tidal wave
that eventually claims her mortal body. At that point, Jean is
engulfed by fire, as she closes her eyes and lets the waters crash
onto her. At the end of X2, a vision of a Phoenix raptor is seen
glowing underneath the lake where Jean seemingly died, as she narrates
an explanation of evolution to the audience. That side of Jean
together with the psychic shield story is narrated to a shocked
Wolverine by a concerned Xavier in X-Men: The Last Stand.
[edit] X-Men: The Last Stand

In X-Men: The Last Stand, Jean's death severely affects Cyclops, who
has frequent nightmares of her, and is unable to move on due to
constant telepathic messages from her. He returns to Alkali Lake,
where he angrily releases the full force of his optic blasts into the
waters, only to see Jean Grey rise from the water, alive. They begin
to kiss and she insists he remove his glasses as she is able to
control his powers, but then apparently kills him by atomizing him
with her telekinesis (his clear, outright death is not shown on
screen, but referred to repeatedly following the event; during the
kiss). Unconscious, she is taken back to the mansion by Storm and
Wolverine. There, it is revealed by Professor X that since childhood,
Jean had powers that were beyond all known limitations. Fearing that
Jean could not control her vast powers, Charles Xavier put psychic
blocks around her subconscious mind to keep Jean's immense powers at
bay. As a result while growing up, Jean has developed a dual
personality - one being her usual self and the other being her
powerful and uninhibited side which calls itself the 'Phoenix' which
emerges when she gets angry. Jean's Dark Phoenix powers began to
manifest as she uses her telekinesis to attack Xavier. Her eyes turn
black (with a subtle amount of fire in her irises), her hair goes from
dark red to a fiery orange color, and her skin darkens and becomes
veiny (almost zombie-like) as she disintegrates Xavier and joins
Magneto's Brotherhood. Upon attacking Alcatraz Island, Jean, in her
Dark Phoenix form, unleashes her Armageddon-like fury and destroys
much of Worthington Labs, the X-Jet, and kills both mutants and humans
along the way. Wolverine tells Storm to get everyone to safety while
he stays behind, as he is the only one who can stop her (due to his
healing factor). He manages to get Jean, who burns through his skin
multiple times, to re-surface long enough to plead for him to stop her
from causing any more harm. Wolverine says to Jean he loves her. After
his profession of love Wolverine quickly stabs her with his claws.
With that, Jean's destruction ceases and she smiles thankfully to
Logan before she dies. Her gravestone is later seen next to Cyclops'
and Xavier's.

Despite drawing from the comic's iconic 'Dark Phoenix Saga' the film
takes many liberties. The name Phoenix is used only once in the film
when Xavier describes to Logan Jean's dual personalities. Jean is
never called the Phoenix, let alone the Dark Phoenix, in the entire
movie except in a deleted scene in which Jean and Xavier, during their
psychic battle, converse telepathically. In X2: X-Men United Jean's
growing power manifested itself into the iconic 'Phoenix Raptor'
consumed by fire- true to the X-Men comic. However, in X-Men: The Last
Stand, Jean's fire wielding powers are only seen when she steps in
front of Cyclops after rising from Alkali Lake and then are completely
disregarded.

In the official X3 site, Jean Grey's alias is "Marvel Girl", like in
the comics.
[edit] Jubilee

Jubilee appears in the first three X-Men films, portrayed by Katrina
Florece in X-Men and by Kea Wong in X2: X-Men United and X-Men: The
Last Stand. In the first film, Jubilee is limited to a few cameo
scenes in both Professor Xavier's and Storm's classrooms. She is
featured in a deleted scene, in which she talks to both Kitty Pryde
and Rogue. In X2, Jubilee appears in a deleted version of the museum
scene which gives a brief introduction to her powers as blue
electricity crackles around her fingers. Jubilee is among the six
kidnapped young mutants that Storm and Nightcrawler rescue. She can be
heard calling Storm's name and is shown running to safety with the X-
Men and can be seen in the X-Jet. She also appears in the final
classroom scene and briefly talks to Professor Xavier. The size of her
role in X-Men: The Last Stand is limited; she appears within the first
ten minutes of the film, and can be seen sitting in the classroom.
[edit] Nightcrawler

Nightcrawler appeared in an early draft of X-Men, but was deleted. In
the film X2: X-Men United, Nightcrawler is played by Alan Cumming.

In the film, Nightcrawler is brainwashed with a fluid from William
Stryker's mutant son in order to attempt an assassination on the
President of the United States. The opening scenes of the movie are
almost a showcase of Nightcrawler's powers, with him versus the Secret
Service, defeating them in a memorable fashion. Storm and Jean Grey
are sent to find him and bring him back to the mansion, and Wagner
goes with them. He helps Storm save the children and stop Stryker's
Cerebro at the Alkali Lake facility and joins the team at the end,
saving Charles when Stryker's Cerebro was destroyed.

He did not appear in X-Men: The Last Stand because, according to the
movie's official video game, the character didn't like the violent
lifestyle of the X-Men. Furthermore, the crew thought it wasn't worth
going through the long hours of preparation given that Cumming didn't
enjoy the heavy make-up needed for his character and because
Nightcrawler's appearance was only going to be minimal.
[edit] Kitty Pryde

* In the film X-Men, she has a small cameo, played by Sumela Kay.
She is referenced as "the girl who can walk through walls" by Senator
Kelly. She is shown in Xavier's class when Wolverine walks in; she
returns for her forgotten books, grabs them, and phases through the
door on her way out. Xavier responds with a cheerful "Bye, Kitty"
while Wolverine (who had never seen her before in the movies) is
startled.

* In X2: X-Men United, she has a brief appearance played by Katie
Stuart. She is shown phasing through walls and people to escape
William Stryker's military forces during their attack on the X-
Mansion. Another scene shows her falling through her bed to avoid an
assault.

* In X-Men: The Last Stand, she is portrayed by Academy Award
nominee Ellen Page and has a central role, rather than her cameo
appearances in the two previous films. She serves as a rival to Rogue
for the romantic attentions of Iceman, since their close friendship
makes Rogue increasingly jealous and frustrated. She also joins the X-
Men in the battle on Alcatraz Island, breaking off from the battle to
save Leech from the Juggernaut. Also, during the final battle at
Alcatraz, Wolverine glances at her before the battles begins, as if to
quell her fears. This moment was confirmed by Brett Ratner, the
director of the film, in an interview, as referencing the well known
"buddy" relationship between the two characters in the comics. In the
novelization of the film, it is hinted that at some point Kitty had a
romantic relationship with Colossus, but that it had long since run
its course, although Colossus appears to still retain feelings towards
her.

[edit] Rogue

Rogue was portrayed by Anna Paquin in the X-Men trilogy. In the films,
her relationship with Wolverine echoes his relationships with both
Jubilee and Shadowcat in the comics; that of a protective surrogate
father.
[edit] X-Men (film)

Rogue (Marie was her actual first name) runs away from home after her
power manifests itself by accidentally draining the life from her
boyfriend while she is kissing him. This causes him to have a seizure,
and places him in a coma for 3 weeks. (At this point she is missing
the white streak in her hair that is her most notable feature.) Rogue
adopts her new alias and wanders into a bar, where she witnesses
Wolverine getting into an altercation with some patrons. She later
catches up to Wolverine and convinces him to get her a lift in his
truck. The two talk and seem to develop a close bond. On the road,
both are attacked by another mutant, Sabretooth, who is Magneto's
henchman, but they are rescued by two X-Men, Storm and Cyclops. Then,
Rogue integrates as another student of Charles Xavier, in his special
school of mutant (gifted) children. Meanwhile, Magneto builds a
machine by which humans are turned into mutants. This is temporary,
though, as the human body rejects such change, eventually suffering
terminal cellular degeneration. Nonetheless, Magneto's actual concern
is that, as the mutating machine is powered only by his own mutant
ability of magnetism, and given that machine weakens its operator
greatly after use, extensive usage may prove fatal to him. As Magneto
knows that Rogue has the power to steal any mutant's power temporarily
after such mutant is touched by her, Magneto plans to use her to power
the machine. Back at the institute, Rogue attempts to wake Wolverine
(who is having a nightmare about his adamantium procedure) but he
awakens suddenly in fright and accidentally releases his claws through
Rogue. In shock, Rogue reaches out and touches him. He collapses as
Storm, Cyclops, Jean and a bunch of students enter. Mystique,
disguised as Bobby, tells Rogue the professor is mad with her and so
she flees. When Wolverine goes to find her and bring her back to the
institute, Magneto kidnaps Rogue and defeats Wolverine. The X-Men fly
to The Statue of Liberty where the device is located. There, Storm
electrocutes Toad and Wolverine stabs Mystique. Meanwhile, Magneto
sets Rogue in the device and then forcibly transfers his powers to
her. The device is aimed at a nearby United Nations summit whose
delegates would be turned into mutants. Furthermore, the entire city
would also be affected by Magneto's mutating device. Almost reaching
the device, the X-Men are stopped by Magneto and left with Sabretooth.
The team get together and defeat Sabretooth when they hear Rogue's
cries for help. Wolverine manages to destroy the machine before it
activates, yet the experience leaves Rogue with a permanent white
streak through her hair. Rogue appears to have been killed, but
Wolverine places his hand on her face so she could absorb his healing
powers and be healed. Jean reports that "she took on some of (Logan's)
more 'charming' personality traits for a while" (a fact that is not
generally noted in the films). Wolverine later gives Rogue his dog
tags and tells her "I'm coming back for this" when she said that she
didn't want him to go.
[edit] X2: X-Men United

In X2: X-Men United, Rogue begins dating Iceman (her love interest
from the past film), despite her continued difficulties making direct
physical contact, a factor which frustrates both of them. At one
point, Iceman is overcome by the sight of Rogue with minimal clothes
on and kisses her, which at first seems successful and carries on for
longer than either of them expected it to, but soon Iceman is forced
to pull away when her powers inevitably start harming him. Rogue and
the other X-Men also manage to escape William Stryker who sends agents
into the X-Mansion to kidnap the mutants. Rogue, Iceman, Pyro, and
Wolverine escape to Iceman's family home in Boston. However, Iceman's
younger brother, angered by the "gifts" of his older brother, calls
the police on the X-Men. When they arrive, Wolverine is shot in the
head by a policeman, and an enraged Pyro manages to destroy many of
the police and their vehicles. Rogue touches Pyro's skin and absorbs
his powers, enabling her to calm the flames. This scene depicts Rogue
also absorbing the emotions of others unlike other scenes in the
trilogy, as she seems to be grimacing while calming the destruction
that Pyro has created. Both Rogue and Iceman are eventually promoted
to the front line X-Men team and are given uniforms similar to the
other X-Men at the conclusion of the film, when Xavier and the X-Men
team meet the President in the White House.
[edit] X-Men: The Last Stand

In X-Men: The Last Stand, a pharmaceutical company announces that they
have a cure for the mutant gene. Rogue expresses interest in being
cured, evidently still longing to touch someone. When Iceman begins to
develop a friendship with Kitty Pryde, and especially after seeing
them "hugging" during a training session (they did it mostly to avoid
a missile that almost hit them) and after watching them ice skate
together, she is encouraged more so. Upset, Rogue leaves to seek out
the cure; Iceman follows her to the pharmaceutical company, but cannot
find her. At the very end of the film, she comes back to the school,
simply saying, "I'm sorry, I had to." When Iceman expresses
disappointment and says it wasn't what he wanted, she says, "I know.
It's what I wanted." It is revealed Rogue had taken the cure, and they
hold hands, Rogue bare handed. An alternate ending reveals that Rogue
ultimately decided against taking the cure and holds Iceman's hand
with gloves on.
[edit] Storm

Storm appears in the movies X-Men, X2: X-Men United, and X-Men: The
Last Stand, portrayed by Halle Berry. Storm received little screen
time in the first film and took a backseat to characters such as
Wolverine, Professor X, and Jean Grey. In the second film, Storm had
more screen time, but no real story. Berry rallied for more character
development,[10] and her role was enhanced in the third film, with new
director Brett Ratner. She was considering not reprising her role as
Storm after constant arguments with original X-Men director Bryan
Singer. In the first film, Berry portrays Storm with a Kenyan accent,
which was an aspect decidedly left out of the following two films. For
her role in the third X-Men film, Berry received a People's Choice
Awards for "Best Female Action Hero." While accepting the award, she
encouraged fans to write letters to X-Men producer Tom Rothman if they
want to see an "X-Men 4."[11]

A young Ororo Munroe was to appear in a cameo in the prequel X-Men
Origins: Wolverine. Some of the footage was incorporated in to some
teaser trailers. The footage was not incorporated into the final
release of the film.
[edit] Wolverine

Many actors were considered in casting Wolverine in a film adaptation
of X-Men. At one point in the 1990s, Glenn Danzig was approached to
play Wolverine in ad hoc committee X-Men film, because he bore an
uncanny resemblance to the character, as well as being the same height
as Wolverine, and very muscular. However, he had to decline, due to
the fact that the shooting for the film would force him to put a halt
to touring with his band for nine months.[12]

Bryan Singer, the director of the first two X-Men movies, spoke to a
number of actors about the role. He says Russell Crowe was too
exhausted after playing a similar role in Gladiator; that the role
didn't appeal to Edward Norton (Norton would later be cast as fellow
Marvel hero Hulk for the 2008 film The Incredible Hulk); and that Fox
themselves ruled out Mel Gibson as being too expensive. In 1999, SFX
magazine spoke to Keanu Reeves, who told the publication he didn't
feel he was right for the role.

Eventually, Dougray Scott was cast as Wolverine, but shooting on
Mission: Impossible II overran. Hugh Jackman became his replacement,
and went on to play Wolverine in all the X-Men films: X-Men, X2: X-Men
United, and X-Men: The Last Stand. When it was first announced, it was
considered a highly controversial move[citation needed], as Hugh
Jackman was not only known solely for his musical theater career, but
the fact that he was simply too tall for the role (Jackman being 6'3",
the comic-book version of Wolverine being approximately 5'3"). Despite
these divergences though, Jackman's actual performance was incredibly
well-received, becoming one of highlights of the series and launching
his career into super-stardom.[13] He reprised his role for a prequel
movie revealing more on Wolverine's origins.
[edit] X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009)

20th Century Fox has set Gavin Hood to direct Hugh Jackman in X-Men
Origins: Wolverine, an "X-Men" spinoff that was written by David
Benioff and Skip Woods.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine, which began production in November 2007 for
a May 1, 2009 release, will be produced by Lauren Shuler-Donner, Ralph
WinterJackman and his Seed Productions partner John Palermo.

Using several resources that include the Marvel Comics lore, along
with the more recent Weapon X graphic novels, Wolverine mixes action
with an origin story about how Logan emerged from a barbaric
experiment as an indestructible mutant with retractable razor-sharp
claws.[14]

This story begins with Wolverine's childhood as James Howlett, his
powers activating in 1845 after witnessing the death of his father at
the hands of Thomas Logan, who reveals that he is James' biological
father only after the grief-stricken James has impaled him with his
new claws. Fleeing with his half-brother Victor, the two spend the
next several decades operating as soldiers in various wars until
Vietnam when they are recruited by now-Major William Stryker for a
special team (consisting of Logan, Stryker, Victor, teleporter John
Wraith, black ops Frederick Dukes, marksman David North (a.k.a. Agent
Zero), electricity manipulator Chris Bradley and martial artist Wade
Wilson), but James leaves the team after realizing how willing the
other members are to kill innocent people to achieve their goals.

Moving on to become a lumberjack with a woman called Kayla Silverfox,
James - now going by the name of his real father, Logan - is lured
back to Stryker after the apparently-rogue Victor kills Kayla,
prompting him to agree to Stryker's offer to enhance his skeleton with
adamantium to give him the strength to kill Victor- choosing the name
'Wolverine' from a tale Kayla told him about a spirit that was tricked
into being parted forever from his lover the Moon-, only to flee when
he learns that Stryker intends to erase his memories and use his DNA
as part of another experiment. Escaping the labs and eliminating the
first wave of pursuers- along with his former teammate Agent Zero-
Wolverine tracks down teammates John Wraith and Fred Dukes, learning
from both of an island facility where Stryker keeps mutants prisoner.
Finding the facility with the aid of Gambit- the only mutant alive to
escape it-, Wolverine is horrified to learn that Kayla was actually an
agent of Stryker's all along and her death was faked, but is spurred
back into action when he learns that she did genuinely love him.
Freeing the mutant prisoners- including Kayla's sister Emma and
Wolverine's future ally Scott Summers-, Wolverine confronts the newly-
activated 'Weapon XI'- his old teammate Wade Wilson, his mouth now
sealed shut and artificially granted multiple mutant powers-, finally
defeating him with the aid of Victor, who vows that only he gets to
kill Wolverine.

Before Wolverine can leave with Kayla, however, Stryker shoots
Wolverine in the head with adamantium bullets, subsequently departing
after Kayla orders him to leave using her power of persuasion. When
Wolverine regains consciousness, his injuries have healed but the
damage to his brain has seemingly permanently destroyed his memories,
subsequently departing the island to seek his own way.
[edit] X-Men (2000)

At the beginning of X-Men, Logan / Wolverine is introduced as a cigar-
smoking hunk in Canada where he picks on persons in cage fights to
make money, taking advantage of his adamantium skeleton. Later in the
bar, he is confronted by a young Marie, who changes her name to Rogue
(Anna Paquin) as she put her boyfriend into a coma while kissing him
and hence ran away from Mississippi. It is here that she sees
Wolverine's retractable adamantium-laced claws, when the latter
engages in a fight. When he is about to leave in his truck, Rogue
introduces herself to him and asks if she come along. At first, he
declines, but later he accepts and takes her with him.

On their way, their truck is attacked by Sabretooth (Tyler Mane).
Wolverine tries to battle with him, but is knocked out. Before
Sabretooth can do any further damage, he is stopped and chased away by
two other mysterious mutants, Cyclops (James Marsden) and Storm (Halle
Berry), who rescue both Wolverine and Rogue and bring them to the X-
Mansion.

When Dr. Jean Grey (Famke Jannsen) tries to treat Wolverine, he comes
to his senses and immediately starts exploring the place. He finds out
that there are mutants like him there who were trying to control their
unnatural abilities under the tutelage of Professor Charles Xavier
(Patrick Stewart). Professor X convinces Wolverine to stay with them
and become an X-Man, as he could get an opportunity to learn more
about his forgotten past. Wolverine agrees and stays. A rivalry
immediately forms between Cyclops and Wolverine as the latter flirts
relentlessly with Jean, the girlfriend of Cyclops.

Later, Mystique (Rebecca Romijn), impersonating Bobby Drake / Iceman
(Shawn Ashmore), tells Rogue to leave the place as "she is a danger to
everybody else". This was actually a trick to lure Rogue out of the X-
Mansion, so that she could be used by Magneto (Sir Ian McKellen) in
the success of a machine that could turn all humans into mutants. When
Wolverine finds out about Rogue's absence, he along with the X-Men
reach the Statue of Liberty where Magneto is operating on his plans.
In the process, Wolverine encounters Mystique and stabs her, virtually
killing her, but she survives. He is also challenged by Sabretooth and
they both engage in a fight, but Cyclops knocks Sabretooth off the
Statue and he crashes into a boat below. In the end, Wolverine frees
Rogue from Magneto and the machine, but she appears to be dead.
Wolverine suffers life-threatening injuries when he intentionally
makes contact with Rogue, allowing her to absorb his mutant healing
factor in order to recover. After awakening in the mansion and
recovering from his vast injuries, he declares his sincere amorous
feelings for a reticent Jean. As a reward of his victory along with
the X-Men, Professor X gives Wolverine a hint for the search of his
past, directing him to a mysterious Alkali Lake. Prior to his
departure, Wolverine leaves his dog-tag necklace with Rogue, promising
that "I'll be back for this". At the end of the film, Wolverine is
seen leaving the mansion on Scott's (Cyclops) bike towards his
destination.
[edit] X2: X-Men United (2003)

In X2: X-Men United, continuing his search that he started at the end
of X-Men, Wolverine finally discovers the Alkali Lake, but only finds
an old and deserted factory, giving no clue about his forgotten past.
He is disappointed and returns to the X-Mansion after a call from
Professor X.

Upon returning, Wolverine is given the responsibility to look after
the mutant children in the mansion in Professor X's absence, who plans
to visit Magneto in his "plastic prison" with Cyclops to discover what
information had he given to William Stryker (Brian Cox). Jean Grey and
Storm also leave in search of Nightcrawler (Alan Cummings), who was
found guilty of attacking the President of the United States. When the
Professor is interrogating Magneto, he learns that Magneto had leaked
all the information about the X-Mansion and the Cerebro to Stryker.
Moreover, Professor X is later kidnapped along with Cyclops by
Stryker's forces.

Back in the X-Mansion, at night, Wolverine has nightmares of his
involvement in the mysterious Weapon X program, and decides to walk
around the mansion, where he starts chatting with Bobby / Iceman. But
all of a sudden, Stryker along with his military troops, invades the
mansion and starts to the look for the Cerebro. Wolverine kills many
of the soldiers, and saves the mutant children. He asks Colossus /
Piotr Rasputin (Daniel Cudmore), Bobby, Rogue and Pyro / John
Allerdyce (Aaron Stanford) to leave. And as Wolverine is about to
escape too, he is confronted by William Stryker, whose presence
strikes more forgotten memories in his mind. But he shakes out of it,
and leaves with the remaining X-Men in a car for Boston to Bobby's
house. Meanwhile, Stryker finds Cerebro and steals it.

When Storm and Jean, along with Nightcrawler, learn of the attack on
the X-Mansion from Wolverine, they head towards Boston in the X-Jet to
recruit the X-Men from Bobby's house. During the X-Men's journey,
Magneto and Mystique, who helped the former to escape from his prison,
offer their help to the X-Men in bringing down William Stryker, who,
as revealed by Magneto, was planning to use Professor X and his
handling of the Cerebro to kill all the mutants on Earth. He also
reveals Stryker's base of operations to be the Alkali Lake. The X-Men
agree to form the alliance. Wolverine later kisses Jean, but is
rejected by her as she tells him that she loves Scott. Mystique,
seeing this exchange, takes advantage of Wolverine's love for Jean and
approaches him in his tent, disguised as Jean, but Wolverine quickly
discerns that she is an imposter(by the wound on her stomach made by
Wolverine's claws in the first film) and rejects her.

At the Alkali Lake, Jean finds that Stryker's base was underground.
Mystique, impersonating Wolverine, infiltrates the base and tricks
Stryker's troops to open a gateway for the X-Men to enter. There,
Wolverine decides to explore the base all by himself and he comes
across a laboratory where he sees his claws' scratch marks on the
walls. Now, he starts remembering what happened to him and how he was
experimented upon with the adamantium. William Stryker arrives and
clears Wolverine's doubts, revealing that he had created the "animal
within Wolverine". When Wolverine is about to get his hands on him,
Stryker introduces another mutant with adamantium skeleton and claws,
Lady Deathstrike / Yuriko Oyama (Kelly Hu), who battles Wolverine but
is disabled by him. Wolverine trails Styker, when meanwhile the X-Men
rescue Cyclops, Professor X and the kidnapped mutant children.

After the destruction of his base, Stryker tries to flee in his
helicopter but is caught by Wolverine and interrogated. Stryker
refuses to cooperate and is pinned by Wolverine, who leaves him to be
drowned in the flood water. When the X-Men are about to leave, Jean
sacrifices herself by protecting them from the flood. Wolverine and
Cyclops mourn her death. In the end of the film, Wolverine, hiding his
love for Jean, informs Cyclops that Jean had chosen to be with Scott.
[edit] X-Men: The Last Stand

Wolverine returns in The Last Stand. He is seeing in a Danger Room
session with the other X-Men. He later meets Beast for the first time
when Beast visits the X-Mansion. When the ressurcted Jean Grey kills
Cyclops, he and Storm are send to inspect. When Professor Xavier
explains about Jean's dual personatily, he becomes more interested.
After Jean escapes the X-Mansion, he, Storm and Professor Xavier find
her in her childhood home. Magneto, also aware about Jean's
personatliy, wants to control her. A fight ensues between him, Storm,
Professor Xavier and Magneto's henchmen and Jean. Jean kills Professor
Xavier and joins Magneto. He leaves the school and finds Jean and
Magneto who plan to attack Alctraz Island and comes back to the
school. He then takes place at the battle between X-Men and Magneto.
He and Beast ultimately inject Magneto with the cure, nullyfing his
magnetic powers. Wolverine confesses his love for Jean Grey and stabs
her with his claws and it kills her.
[edit] Professor X

Professor Charles Xavier has appeared in all four live-action X-Men
feature films to date: X-Men, X2: X-Men United, X-Men: The Last Stand
and X-Men Origins: Wolverine. He is played by Patrick Stewart.
[edit] X-Men

Xavier is first introduced in X-Men, when he sends Storm and Cyclops
to rescue Wolverine and Rogue from Sabertooth. Xavier believes that
the attack was caused by Magneto and that Wolverine was the intended
target. He gives Wolverine and Rogue a home in the institute and
promises to help Wolverine remember his past if he is also allowed
forty-eight hours to discover why Magneto wants Wolverine. Xavier uses
Cerebro to locate Rogue when she runs away, but is poisoned when he
uses it later (as Mystique had tampered with it). At the end of the
movie, he recovers and advises Wolverine to search Alkali Lake for
answers to his past.
[edit] X2: X-Men United

Upon learning that the mutant Nightcrawler attacked the President of
the United States, Xavier sends Storm and Jean to bring the mutant for
questioning. He and Scott leave to visit Magneto (as he is suspected
behind the attack), leaving Wolverine in charge of the school. In
Magneto's cell, Xavier learns that Magneto was drugged by William
Stryker and forced to tell Stryker all about the institute and
Cerebro. Before he can escape, Xavier is knocked out. He wakes up in
Stryker's underground test facility, tied to a chair and fixed to a
device that restricts his mental powers. He is left in the room with
Jason Stryker, William's son and a powerful illusionist who Xavier
previously taught. Now mind controlled by his father, Jason traps
Xavier into various illusions, keeping him in one where Xavier is back
in the institute (which is empty) and Jason is portrayed as a scared
little girl. To comfort the "girl" and find his students, Xavier goes
to use Cerebro. It is discovered that Xavier was captured to power a
makeshift Cerebro Stryker created. Under Jason's illusion, Xavier is
tricked into concentrating on all of the world's mutants, nearly
killing them. He then switches to attacking all of the world's humans
after Magneto interferes. Nightcrawler and Storm rescue Xavier from
the illusion and he has them all fly to Washington, to warn the
president against the possibility of a mutant/human war.
[edit] X-Men: The Last Stand

Xavier first appears in a flashback, when he and Magneto pick up a
young Jean Grey as their first student. He is given a more youthful
appearance with digital technology.

In the present, Xavier expresses worry over Scott's grief over Jean's
death and tells Storm that should anything happen to him, she was to
replace him as head of the school. When Jean is discovered alive,
Xavier sedates her and tells Wolverine that he had kept her powers in
check with mental barriers since she was a child, resulting in her
developing a second personality known as "The Phoenix". When Jean
awakens as The Phoenix and escapes, Xavier tracks her down to her old
home and tries to convince her to return. Infuriated both by Xavier's
meddling in her head and Magneto (who insinuates that Xavier wishes to
restain her and "give her the cure"), she uses her mind to first lift
her house into the air and then cause Xavier to explode into dust. His
death causes a great impact on the residents of the institute and it
is nearly closed until Storm decides to honor Xavier's wishes and act
as its head. In an after-credits scene, Xavier speaks to Moira
McTaggert through the body of a comatose man, implying that his
consciousness survived.
[edit] X-Men Origins: Wolverine

Professor X appears briefly towards the end of X-Men Origins:
Wolverine. After Wolverine frees a group of young mutants including a
young Cyclops from William Stryker's lab, they try to escape from the
facility but get lost. Cyclops suddenly hears a telepathic voice,
which guides him out to safety along with the other mutants. Outside
they are greeted by Professor X, who was communicating telepathically
with Cyclops. The professor then takes everyone into his helicopter,
presumably to his mutant school. Like in the opening of The Last
Stand, Patrick Stewart was digitally de-aged to appear younger.
[edit] Brotherhood of Mutants
See also: List of Brotherhood of Mutants members

In 2000's X-Men movie, the Brotherhood included Magneto (Sir Ian
McKellen), Sabretooth (Tyler Mane), Mystique (Rebecca Romijn) and Toad
(Ray Park). In the film, Magneto with the help of his Brotherhood,
devises a machine that can trigger mutation in human beings, and with
which the former plans to wipe out the human race and replace it with
a whole world of mutants. The Brotherhood's plans are, however, foiled
by the X-Men.

In the sequel X2: X-Men United (2003) the lineup was greatly reduced
to Magneto and Mystique only. However at the end of the film, they
were joined by Pyro (Aaron Stanford).

The third installment of the series, X-Men: The Last Stand (2006),
depicted a much larger Brotherhood including:

* Juggernaut (Vinnie Jones)
* Multiple Man (Eric Dane)
* Dark Phoenix (Famke Janssen)
* Callisto (Dania Ramírez)
* Kid Omega (Ken Leung)
* Arclight (Omahyra Mota)
* Psylocke (Meiling Melançon)
* Spike (Lance Gibson)
* Phat (Via Saleaumua and Richard Yee)
* Glob Herman (Clayton Watmough)

During a raid upon a government convoy, Mystique sacrifices herself
(and ultimately her powers) when she takes a cure dart to the chest
aimed at Magneto. Magneto deserts his most loyal ally, revealing,
"You're not one of us anymore." Commenting that it was a shame to lose
her "beauty", Magneto leads the remaining Brotherhood members away.
Later in the film, Mystique, as Raven Darkholme (her human form), is
seen providing the United States government with information regarding
the whereabouts of Magneto's base of operations. With Multiple Man as
the diversion for the army, Magneto leads his Brotherhood to Alcatraz
to prevent the production of the cure. Among those seen taking part in
the assault on Alcatraz are:

* A man who can teleport.
* A lava-skinned man who exhales a superheated cloud of ash and
cinders (named "Ash," according to the DVD commentary).
* A bald man who can re-grow his lost limbs.
* Mutants with minor distortions (such as glowing eyes and
rhinoceros-horn).
* Several mutants strong enough to leap over a large pile of
debris.

The weaker Brotherhood Mutants were sent in first where they were hit
by cure darts incased in plastic. The stronger Brotherhood Mutants
later went in with some of them either killed or survived in their
battle with the X-Men.
[edit] Glob Herman

Glob Herman appears briefly in X-Men: The Last Stand. He made a cameo
during the attack on Alcatraz, getting shot by a cure dart and
changing from his glob form to a normal person.
[edit] Juggernaut

In X-Men: The Last Stand, Juggernaut, whose real name in the comics,
is Cain Marko (played by Vinnie Jones), serves as one of Magneto's
Brotherhood Alliance army. In this version, he is a superstrong and
fast mutant with no explicit connection to Charles Xavier. This is a
far cry from who he is in the comics. The comic book version of
Juggernaut is in fact not a mutant, but rather is mystically empowered
by the Cyttorak crystal whom he found on during his time in the Army
with his step-brother, who is in fact Charles Xavier. One other
deviation from the comic book is the level of power he holds. In the
movie, he is successfully held with thick metal bonds in the mobile
prison he is held in, where, in the comic book, he is a class 100+
strength level mutant (Meaning he can lift upwards of 100 tons and has
been known to hold his own fighting the Hulk (comics)) and could have
easily escaped. Vinnie Jones, who played the Juggernaut, has said he
would like to reprise his role in a spin-off, as he felt there was too
little time in X-Men: The Last Stand to imbue the character with
depth. Jones also suggests that Juggernaut's feelings towards humanity
and mutant-kind are neutral, but he is fighting for Magneto because
Magneto got to him first. He also used the now famous catchphrase
created by an internet parody, "I'm the Juggernaut, bitch!"[15]
[edit] Magneto

Magneto was played by two-time Academy Award-nominee Sir Ian McKellen
in the movie X-Men and its sequels, X2 and X-Men: The Last Stand.
While in the first and third films, he is the main villain, he is an
anti-hero/supporting protagonist in the second film. In all of these
films, he wishes for mutant prosperity (or as Cyclops put it,
superiority), but is not above battling the X-Men or killing innocents
to do so. In the comics, his birth name was Max Eisenhardt. but was
later changed to avoid prosecution early in his youth to Eric
Lensherr, which is his movie version name.

In the X-Men films Magneto's resistance to mental attack does not stem
from his own natural powers but is technological in nature; his helmet
contains some kind of a psychic shielding component, able to
completely negate both the telepathic abilities of Charles Xavier (as
shown in X-Men), and also the illusion-casting abilities of Jason in
X2. In these films Magneto is credited with helping Xavier to build
Cerebro; it would seem that in the process of building a machine
designed to amplify telepathy, Magneto learned enough to develop a
means of shielding himself from it.
[edit] X-Men (film)

At the start of the film, a preteen Magneto was separated from his
parents by Nazi soldiers, and it was during this moment that his
powers begin to manifest (twisting open a metal fence separating him
and his parents). In the present time, Magneto attempts to mutate the
world leaders with a high-tech machine, though he is unaware of its
lethality (nor did he expect the machine to nearly kill him). Little
did he know that the machine would cause humans to be killed by losing
their molecular structure (as seen in Senator Robert Kelly). Even when
warned of the dangers of the machine by Jean Grey and Storm, Magneto
does not believe them. The X-Men foil his plans and he is locked up in
a plastic prison.
[edit] X2: X-Men United

In the second film, he escapes from prison with some help from
Mystique (who had injected a suspension of iron particles into a
security guard's bloodstream, so when he came to work the next day,
Magneto was able to leech the iron from his body, killing the guard,
and use it as a weapon and a means of escape) and makes a temporary
alliance with the X-Men to defeat William Stryker's plan to kill all
the mutants. Stryker has captured Xavier and builds his own version of
Cerebro at Alkali Lake. He uses his son Jason's illusion powers to,
for lack of a better term, hypnotize him into making Xavier focus his
amplified telepathy to kill all the mutants on Earth. Magneto foils
this plan and, after jury rigging the Cerebro unit, instead has Xavier
try to kill all the humans on Earth before leaving the location in a
helicopter. The X-Men intervene in time and prevent Xavier from
killing creating inadvertant genocide.
[edit] X-Men: The Last Stand

In the third film, he has expanded the Brotherhood of Mutants and
recruited many mutants to join. After learning that a major company
has produced a cure for the mutant gene from a young mutant known as
Leech, he and his Brotherhood attack the facility as the X-Men defend
it. Wolverine and Beast work together and inject Magneto with the
"cure," which strips him of his powers. In the final scene, he extends
his hand toward a chess piece and is able to move it a tiny bit,
suggesting that the cure may not be permanent and/or may not have
rendered him completely powerless. At one point in the film, after
Xavier's apparent demise, Magneto shows genuine grief over his foe's
death, speaking severely to Pyro when the latter states that he would
have killed Xavier himself had Magneto asked it of him ("Charles
Xavier did more for mutants than you'll ever know. My single greatest
regret is that he had to die for our dream to live.").
[edit] Mastermind

* In the film X2, William Stryker's son Jason (portrayed by
Michael Reid McKay) is loosely based on Mastermind. In this
interpretation, he was once a student of Xavier's whose father wanted
him to be "cured". Because Xavier was unable, and in point of fact,
unwilling, to do this, Jason used his powers to take revenge on his
parents, driving his mother to suicide. Stryker subsequently had him
lobotomized so he would only obey his orders, and used him in his plan
to eliminate the mutant race. Jason appears as a crippled, wheelchair
bound man, with atrophied muscle, a flaccid face and watery eyes. The
lobotomy deprived him of free will and left him paralyzed, but his
illusionary powers are still active, and he's skilled enough in their
use to keep a hold on Xavier (whose telepathy was initially negated by
an electronic helmet, allowing Jason to gain access). His father
extracts his spinal fluid and uses it to control his mutant minions.
Under his father's orders, he tricks Xavier into using a modified copy
of Cerebro to find all mutants and send telepathic screams that could
kill them. Magneto temporarily ended the illusion and Mystique,
disguised as Stryker, had him target all humans instead. Storm breaks
into Cerebro and starts a blizzard to freeze him and end the illusion.
Shortly afterwards, the dam collapsed and the second Cerebro was
destroyed, presumably killing Jason in the process. However, he
survives and later became the main antagonist in X-Men: The Official
Game.

* In X-Men Origins: Wolverine, the prequel to the X-Men trilogy,
Jason is kept in ice by his father.

[edit] Multiple Man

* In the film X2, his name appears on a list of names Mystique
scrolls through on Stryker's computer while looking for Magneto's
file. In the novelization of X2, Jamie has an expanded role as a
student living at Xavier's, and has a relationship with Siryn, who
often unintentionally causes him to create duplicates of himself.
* X-Men: The Last Stand features James Madrox/Multiple Man, who is
recruited into the Brotherhood of Mutants. Played by Eric Dane, the
character is an ex-bank robber, having robbed seven banks
simultaneously. In one scene, he and his dupes serve as a decoy for
Magneto's Brotherhood, appearing to the authorities to be the
Brotherhood on a satellite image, while the real Brotherhood escapes.
He is presumably rearrested by U.S. Army troops after the ruse is
discovered.

[edit] Mystique

In the movies X-Men, X2: X-Men United, and X-Men: The Last Stand,
Mystique is played by Rebecca Romijn and, unlike her comic book
incarnation, is a member of Magneto's Brotherhood of Mutants.

* In the first movie, Mystique impersonates Henry Gyrich, aide to
Senator Kelly, as part of a plan to kidnap Kelly and turn him into a
mutant, thereby ending his support of the Mutant Registration Act.
However, Magneto's mutation machine causes Senator Kelly to die, so
she, instead, impersonates Kelly, taking over his senatorial duties
and ultimately withdraws his support of the bill. In X-Men, Mystique
has an extended fight with Wolverine. Although Wolverine possesses
greater physical strength, Mystique ultimately outwits him in the
battle, and slowly gets the better of him with superior speed,
dexterity and sophisticated, acrobatic fighting style. She then leaves
by climbing upside down up a pipe. She later reappears as Storm and
approaches Logan, making a critical overestimation of her cunning. His
acute sense of smell tells him who she really is and he stabs her with
his claws, apparently killing her (Notably, she has yellow-green
blood). She survives, however, and morphs into the form of a fallen
police officer. As a result, she is able to slip past the police that
descend on the building. At the end of the movie, she is seen on TV,
impersonating Senator Robert Kelly.

* In X2, her ongoing impersonation of Kelly helps her learn from
William Stryker that Magneto is in government custody. Mystique then
gains entry into Stryker's office by impersonating Stryker's aide,
Lady Deathstrike, and thus gains details about Magneto's plastic
prison (including the name of the guards) and also accesses several
more of Stryker's plans (most important of which are the plans to
create a "Dark Cerebro"). She frees Magneto from prison by seducing a
guard and injecting a sufficient amount of iron suspended in a liquid
solution into his bloodstream for Magneto to leech from his system and
use as a weapon to free himself with when he comes to work the next
day. After helping Magneto escape from prison, she joins Magneto's
brief alliance with the X-Men. While camped in an unknown forest area,
Mystique attempts to seduce Wolverine in the guise of Jean Grey. She
kisses him and shifts into Storm and then into Rogue, but upon
realizing that it is Mystique, he rejects her. Also, when he discovers
the marks of his claws from when he stabbed her in the previous movie,
she shifts back to her blue form, telling him "no one's left a scar
quite like you." She later impersonates Wolverine in order to gain
entry to the Alkali Lake base, pretending to surrender. While
infiltrating Alkali Lake Base she shows her dexterity and fighting
skill by defeating lots of soldiers and, managing to infiltrate the
main computer room, she discovers where the fake Cerebro is and where
the captive mutant children were being kept. Wolverine says "She's
good" to which Magneto replies "You have no idea". Implying that
Magneto is fond of Mystique and again hinting at her fighting prowess.
She is seen later escaping with Magneto and Pyro.

* In X-Men: The Last Stand, Mystique is captured by the
government. It is revealed that her name is Raven Darkholme. Magneto
comes to save her, but just before the guards are completely subdued,
one manages to fire a dart containing the new, supposedly permanent,
mutant "cure" bioengineered using the mutant Leech's DNA, at Magneto.
She blocks the shot with her body, taking the dart in his place, which
suppresses her mutation and changes her into a normal human (It is
also relealed that Mystique, while she was powered, must have used her
powers to create clothing for herself out of her own flesh since when
she transformed into a human, she was naked). Depowered, Magneto
abandons her, stating "you're not one of us anymore", adding
wistfully, "it's such a shame. She was so beautiful." Spurned,
rejected and seeking some level or retribution, Mystique goes to the
government and gives the location of his base. Using satellite heat
signature imaging, the camp seems to normally populated. However, when
they raid the camp, they discover it was a ruse and distraction, with
Magneto filling the entire camp with duplicates of Multiple Man, who
reabsorbs his "dupes" and surrenders, while the the rest of Magneto's
mutant army is on their way to the Worthington Industries plant on
Alcatraz Island where the cure is made and Leech lives.

[edit] Phat

Phat makes an appearance in the film X-Men: The Last Stand. Phat is
played by two actors, Via Saleaumua and Richard Yee, as Phat in "large
mode" and "small mode" respectively. The end credits mention both
Phats. He first appears at the community meeting. Although it's
unclear if he is a member of The Omegas, he joins Magneto's cause and
takes part in the Battle of Alcatraz. The DVD release features a
deleted scene in which Phat is frozen solid by Iceman and then
shattered by Colossus.
[edit] Pyro

* Pyro had a brief cameo in X-Men, where he forms a fireball
behind his back before Iceman freezes it with his powers. In this film
and the two following sequels, Pyro is portrayed as American teenager
instead of Australian.

* In the sequel, X2: X-Men United, Pyro was played by Aaron
Stanford and his role was greatly expanded. Pyro is named John
Allerdyce (instead of St. John), and is a student at Professor X's
school and a friend of Iceman and Rogue. Instead of a flamethrower,
this version of Pyro keeps a small Zippo lighter in his pocket at all
times to provide him his fire. Midway through X2 when the three of
them, with Wolverine, escape an attack on the school and retreat to
Drake's home in suburban Boston, Pyro is shown examining a series of
Drake family photos with an expression of envy; the commentary hints
that this is because he comes from a dysfunctional home. After
Wolverine is shot in the head and rendered temporarily unconscious by
a policeman, Pyro flies into a rage and fends off several policemen.
Rogue sees that Pyro is endangering the lives of the officers and
grabs his ankle, thereby stealing his powers, stunning him and
neutralizing the flames. The group is then rescued by other X-Men in
the Blackbird, the X-Men's VTOL plane. Ultimately, Pyro is tempted
away from Xavier's influence by Magneto, who observes the young man's
ambition and the strength of his powers. Pyro follows and joins
Magneto and the shapeshifting mutant Mystique as they escape Alkali
Lake before it is destroyed by flooding from a compromised nearby dam;
the remaining X-Men note Pyro's defection, but are too occupied with
their own escape to stop it.

* Pyro subsequently appears in X-Men: The Last Stand as a member
of Magneto's Brotherhood of Mutants. In this film, Pyro wears a flame-
generating device on his right wrist, allowing him to produce fire (of
which he can control, but not create) for combat by pushing a button
on his palm with his fingers. Alongside Magneto's army, he attacks the
Worthington Industries facility that provides the cure for mutants and
houses the Mutant, Leech, from who the cure is made with the intent of
killing the boy so no more cure can be produced. In the final battle,
he fights Iceman and briefly gains the upper hand; however, Iceman
realizes a new level to his mutation, turns himself into solid ice
and, now with an increase in powers, freezes Pyro's hands,
extinguishing his fire. Iceman then headbutts Pyro, knocking him out.
Pyro's fate is unknown, although the novelization describes Iceman
carrying him to safety as the facility around them collapses. His
loyalty to Magneto is also firmly established, and he remarks that if
Magneto had asked it of him, he would have killed Professor Xavier.

[edit] Sabretooth

Sabretooth was portrayed by Tyler Mane in the X-Men motion picture
released in 2000, but was blown through the head of the Statue of
Liberty by Cyclops following a brief battle with Wolverine, and has
not been seen in either of the sequels. According to the novelization
of the film X2 and the comic book prequel tie-in, Sabretooth survived
the incident, was the subject of an international manhunt, and had a
brief confrontation with Logan to talk about their shared history. He
was later defeated by Wolverine in X-Men: The Official Game, which was
a video game tie-in for X-Men: The Last Stand.

In February 2008, 20th Century Fox announced Liev Schreiber was to
portray Sabretooth in the film X-Men Origins: Wolverine, scheduled for
release May 1, 2009. The film depicts Victor Creed as the brother of
James Howlett (Wolverine) and that they fought together as Canadian
mercenaries in the American Civil War, World War I, World War II and
the Vietnam War.[16] Victor grows increasingly violent and
uncontrolled as time passes, while Logan becomes more disillusioned
with the violence they involve themselves in. During the Vietnam War
he attempts to rape a young Vietnamese woman and then brutally attacks
the soldiers who try to stop him, leading to both he and James being
placed in front of a firing squad. They survive the firing squad and
are subsuquently reimprisoned, but are eventually asked to join Major
Stryker's all-mutant team, a mutant, Black-Ops team working for the
government. After an undetermined time, James leaves the team when he
witnesses Stryker's willingness to kill innocent civilians to further
his own goals, however, Victor does not go with him. In James'
absence, Victor and Stryker subsequently work together to capture
various mutants so he can use their DNA to make the ultimate soldier.
Later, Stryker tracks Logan down and tricks Logan into agreeing to
have adamantium bonded to his skeleton by claiming that Victor had
gone rogue and had killed the woman he loved. Despite the animosity
between the two of them (made even worse when Stryker reveals that,
even though he and Victor had a deal where Victor would be allowed to
go through the same process James did, he cannot merge adamantium to
his skeleton because it would kill him), they fight together to defeat
'Weapon XI', who is actually a surgically enhanced Wade Wilson AKA
Deadpool, Victor saying his reason being that only HE gets to kill
Wolverine, subsequently departing when the battle is over. This
version of Victor possesses enhanced strength and speed, heightened
senses, and razor-sharp nails that can extend or retract at will,
allowing him to slice through sustances as hard as steel, climb sheer
surfaces and adds extra power to his grip.
[edit] Spike

In the movie X-Men: The Last Stand, a "Spike" character portrayed by
Lance Gibson appeared in a battle with Wolverine, where he was
depicted with the ability to extrude bony spikes from his flesh and
hurl them with great speed and force. He and Wolverine both stab each
other, but where Wolverine survives being stabbed repeatedly, Spike
doesn't and dies impaled on Wolverines claws.
[edit] Toad

* Toad appeared as a character in the 2000 movie X-Men, played by
Ray Park. He is a member of Magneto's Brotherhood and possesses
enhanced leaping capability and acrobatic speed, agility, dexterity,
reflexes, coordination, balance, a sticky prehensile 13-foot (4.0 m)
tongue, and the ability to spit an acidic mucus that hardens almost
instantly which he uses to blind or suffocate his opponents. He has a
different personality from the comic incarnation, confident and
comical, where, in the comics, he is often viewed as subservient,
bumbling, barely tolerated and acts just like his name, like a toady.
He battles Storm, Cyclops and Jean Grey all at once in the battle in
the Statue of Liberty, he starts by locking Cyclops in a display case,
sends Storm to the second floor and spits slime on Jean Grey as she
stops him in mid-air. Storm revives to stop Toad from harming Jean but
is quickly subdued and is knocked down an elevator shaft. Storm flies
up again and blows Toad out of the statue, his tongue latching onto a
support beam to stay alive. However, Storm strikes his tongue with a
lightning bolt and electrifies Toad.
* Toad was included in an early version of the script of X2, where
he dueled off against Nightcrawler in an room in William Stryker's
underground base. However, he was removed from the script.

[edit] Humans
[edit] John and Elaine Grey

John and Elanie Grey appears in the opening scene of X-Men: The Last
Stand. In the film John refers to Jean Grey's abilities as an
"illness." John and Elaine are portrayed by Adrian Hough and Desiree
Zurowski respectively.
[edit] Henry Peter Gyrich

Henry Peter Gyrich appears in X-Men portrayed by Matthew Sharp. Henry
appears as an assistant to Senator Kelly. He is impersonated by
Mystique, and the real Gyrich was implied to have been killed by
Sabertooth.
[edit] Heather Hudson

In X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Wolverine stumbles upon an elderly woman,
by the name of Heather Hudson (played by Julia Blake), and her husband
Travis after the Weapon X experiment. In the film, they see Wolverine
sneaking into their barn, and Heather notices this. They treat him
kindly, then in the next morning, while treating both of them juice,
she is shot by a faraway sniper (Agent Zero), along with Travis. In
the comics, Heather Hudson was the one who found Wolverine after he
first escaped from the Weapon X program, stumbling, an amnesiac,
through the Canadian wilderness and then nursed him back to health.
Later, after her husband's death, James Hudson, the first Guardian
(Marvel Comics), she took up the mantle to be the second Guardian, but
later changed her name to Vindicator (comics) and became the leader of
the Canadian super-team, Alpha Flight.
[edit] Robert Kelly

In X-Men, Senator Kelly (played by Bruce Davison) is staunchly anti-
mutant, arguing that they are a danger to "normal" people and should
be locked away. He is kidnapped by Magneto's minion Mystique and is
subjected to a process that transforms him into a mutant. Unbeknownst
to Magneto, the process is ultimately fatal, with his body rejecting
the process, and Kelly (now in a malleable jellyfish-like form who has
power to stretch and be easily squished if pressure is applied) dies
in the custody of the X-Men. Prior to his death, he learns to accept
at the very least "some" Mutants and is comforted by Storm. He is
subsequently impersonated by Mystique at the end of the film and in
X2. In a special feature on the X-Men DVD, his young daughter is
revealed as a mutant on "live TV" after a Senate hearing on mutant
regulation. No mention of this is made in the film.
[edit] Thomas Logan

In the 2009 movie X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Thomas Logan appears in
the beginning, and he is confirmed to be Sabertooth's father and
Wolverine's biological father. He is credited as "Thomas Logan",
played by Aaron Jeffery.
[edit] Moria MacTaggert

Moira is played by Olivia Williams in brief appearances in the feature
film X-Men: The Last Stand. She appears on a video talking about
mutant ethics and what is considered right and wrong, such as whether
it would be right to transfer the mind of a dying father of four into
the body of a man born with no higher brain functions. She is
subsequently seated next to Beast at the memorial service. After the
film's ending credits, she appears again for a brief scene, where it
appears that Xavier has transferred his mind into the body of the
patient, following his physical body being disintegrated by the
Phoenix persona that inhabits Jean Grey. In the director's commentary
for the movie's DVD, it is revealed that this patient is, in fact, the
identical twin of Charles Xavier, whose mind had been destroyed before
birth by the power of Charles' mutation. Thus it is that Charles'
voice is used and Moira instantly recognizes him.
[edit] Kavita Rao

In the 2006 movie X-Men: The Last Stand, Kavita Rao was played by
Iranian actress Shohreh Aghdashloo. This is despite claims made by
Aghdashloo in an interview with Entertainment Weekly (August 26, 2005)
that she would be playing Dr. Cecilia Reyes. Raph Winter, producer of
all three movies, subsequently stated that Aghdashloo would be playing
Rao. In the film, Rao helps with the invention of the mutant cure,
which she created with the DNA of Leech. Toward the end of the movie,
she (alongside Dr. Worthington) is targeted by a trio of Omegas.
Worthington is dragged off. Quill grabs her in a bear hug, says
everything will be all right and pierces her with his bodily spikes.
[edit] William Stryker
[edit] X2

In X2, Stryker is the main antagonist of the film and is played by
Brian Cox. He is a military scientist and has spent his whole life
trying to solve the "mutant problem". He has a serum drug that he
injects in the back of any mutant's neck and brainwashes them. He has
a personal brainwashed mutant assistant who is Lady Deathstrike. He
has experminted on mutants (especially Wolverine) and keeps files on
them. In the film, he brainwashed Nightcrawler in order to kill the
President, but Nightcrawler fails. Later, he visits the President and
Senator Robert Kelly (impersonated by Mystique). After this, he visits
the imprisoned Magneto and brainwashes him for information about
Xavier's School and the mutant locating tracking machine Cerebro.
Stryker orders Deathstrike to capture Cyclops and Professor Xavier and
succeeds.

He attacks the X-Mansion and captures six students (He captures to
make sure when the machine starts, it really is working). He then
finds Cerebro and steals it. He has a personal talk with Xavier about
his son Jason (Mastermind, who is also an X-Men villain in the
comics). When Stryker sent his son to Xavier's School, he sent him to
cure him. A year later when Jason returned, he tored with his
parents's mind and his mother committed suicide. Jason, under his
father's orders, brainwashes Xavier (when Stryker's serum won't work
on him since he his too powerful for it) into locating all mutants and
killing them using Stryker's Cerebro. Stryker then brainwashes Cyclops
into ambushing the X-Men when they arrive. When Jean Grey and Cyclops
are fighting in where the genators to hold the dam from exploding, the
genators are destroyed and Cyclops awakens from his brainwashing.
Stryker confronts Wolverine and sends Deathstrike to kill him, but
Wolverine kills her.

Stryker then escapes the facility. When Magneto arrives at Cerebro, he
uses Mystique to impersonate Styker and tells Jason to locate the
humans and kill them. Stryker goes outside to a landing pad but is
confronted by Wolverine. He attempts to bargain stories about
Wolverine's forgotten past, but Wolverine refuses and chains him to
the helicopter's front wheel. Stryker is then chained to a piece of
concreate rubble by Magneto. Storm and Nightcrawler freeze Cerebro,
along with Jason, and rescue Professor Xavier along with the students
just before the dam explodes. Wolverine confronts Stryker one last
time. Stryker askes him who has the answers: The X-Men or Stryker.
Wolverine leaves him and tells him that the X-Men have the answers.
When the dam explodes and the flood gets very strong, Stryker remains
chained to the rubble and drowns.
[edit] X-Men Origins: Wolverine

Stryker is in the film X-Men Origins: Wolverine, set roughly twenty
years before X-Men, portrayed by Danny Huston. Huston liked the
complex Stryker, who "both loves and hates mutants because his son was
a mutant and drove his wife to suicide. So he understands what they're
going through, but despises their [destructive] force." He compared
the character to a racehorse breeder, who rears his mutant experiments
like children but abandons them when something goes wrong. In the
film, Stryker starts off as a Major trying to recruit Victor Creed and
James Howlett to join Weapon X. Stryker tries to learn where a
mysterious rock came from. Stryker tells Creed to execute the
witnesses after what James had seen he left. Through the years Stryker
begins working with Creed and using Wade Wilson as Weapon XI. He tells
Creed to kill all the other members of the team and to have Logan's
girlfriend Kayla (Silver Fox) - an agent of Stryker's keeping an eye
on Logan- fake her death.

After Logan is left for dead by Victor, Col. Stryker persuades Logan
to become Wolverine. The process is successful, and Stryker wants to
use Logan's DNA for the XI, but Logan hears this and escapes. After
General Munson tries to shut Weapon X down, learning of Stryker's son
and believing that he is too emotionally close to the situation,
Stryker kills him. Also Stryker kidnaps mutants in order to pass their
abilities into Weapon XI. The others escape with Kayla and Logan while
Logan and Victor battle Weapon XI. Weapon XI is defeated, but Stryker
shoots adamantium bullets in Logan's head, causing amnesia as a result
of the damage done to his brain; although the physical injury can be
healed from, the memories themselves are apparently permanently gone.
He points the gun at Kayla but Kayla tells him by using her power of
persuasion to walk until his feet bleed and then keep walking,
refusing to order him to kill himself as that would make them no
better than him. Stryker unwillingly does so, and is arrested at the
end of the movie by military police in connection with General
Munson's murder.
[edit] Bolivar Trask

Bill Duke portrays Trask in X-Men: The Last Stand. Here, he is the
head of the Department of Homeland Security, and has no (presumed)
connection to the Sentinels. However, he does appear connected with
the ongoing adaptation of human weapons and tactics to mutant threats.
It is also notable that in the comics, Trask is of a Caucasian ethnic
background while the actor who portrays him in X-Men: The Last Stand
(Bill Duke) is African American.
[edit] Morlocks

The Morlocks appear in X-Men: The Last Stand, though never mentioned
by that name. Instead, they are referred to as The Omegas. Callisto is
still the leader (with different powers - Caliban's mutant sensory
ability, and Quicksilver's speed), but other members (including Quill,
Arclight, and Psylocke) are pulled from other parts of the X-Men
universe. Leech also appears in the film, with no apparent connection
to the Morlocks.
[edit] Arclight

Arclight appeared in the 2006 motion picture X-Men: The Last Stand
played by Dominican fashion model and actress Omahyra Mota. Arclight
had no lines in the film. In the movie, her shockwave-based
superpowers are more refined than in the comic book: her shockwaves
project in an outward fashion and she can target specific materials.
She is a member of the Omegas and was killed along with Kid Omega and
Psylocke by Dark Phoenix's disintegration wave.
[edit] Callisto

Dania Ramirez portrays Callisto in X-Men: The Last Stand. She was the
leader of the Omegas and then joins Magneto's Brotherhood of Mutants.
In place of an eye-patch and scars, this version of Callisto is
beautiful and still heavily tattooed, as well as being Latino instead
of Caucasion. She also seems to harbor a dislike towards Storm, which
was applauded by fans since she and Storm were intially enemies and
had a very well known duel over leadership of the Morlocks, of which
Storm won, dethroning Callisto, in the comics. In the movie, Storm, in
two different battles, was continually battered by Calliso's super-
speed punches and unable to land many of her own, until she was
ultimately electrocuted by Storm at the end of their climactic battle
on Alcatraz.

In the film version, Callisto possessed superhuman speed and the
ability to sense the powers and locations of other mutants, the latter
power which, in the comics, belongs to her team-mate Caliban. Also, in
the comics, she does not have super-speed powers, but, instead, has
heightened senses and has been known to display increased agility and
strength, but, while still above that of a normal human, only to a
relatively minor degree. She is also an expert tracker, aided by her
super-senses, which is a correlation between the film and the comic
book version.

According to the book adaptation of the movie, she was the leader of
the Marauders, an all-mutant gang before joining Magneto's Brotherhood
of Mutants. According to a novelty card game, Callisto is said to have
been born in the Dominican Republic and immigrated to Washington
Heights New York as an infant, where she honed her skills as a fighter
and tracker. In the book she does not possess superhuman speed.
[edit] Leech

Leech appears in X-Men: The Last Stand, played by Cameron Bright.
Leech (named Jimmy in the film, but code named Leech on a file handed
to Beast) plays a pivotal role in the film as the source of a "cure"
for the "mutant x-gene." He is still a child but has no outward
physical mutations (Which is quite different from his Comic Book
version where he is a small boy with an oversized hideous, almost
alien like head and yellow, craggly skin. In the comics, it was his
appearance that made him an outcast and had to go into hiding). His
powers are involuntary, only activated in proximity and removes all
the effects of mutant genes, including physical mutations such as Hank
McCoy's blue fur. When McCoy reaches out to shake Jimmy's hand, his
own hand loses its furry blue appearance; the mutation returns once he
leaves Leech's presence.

Magneto plans to kill Jimmy, who is being kept at Alcatraz, thus
destroying the mutant cure (which was made using his DNA and injecting
the cure into the mutant, nullifying the mutation from the inside-out)
and preserving the mutant species. Magneto and his Brotherhood of
Mutants attack the facility, which is defended by federal troops and
the X-Men. Juggernaut is sent to find Jimmy and Kitty Pryde races to
save him. When Pryde discovers that she is unable to phase through
walls with Jimmy, she allows Juggernaut to charge at them but pulls
Jimmy out of the way, allowing Juggernaut to slam into the wall,
butnstead of breaking through, he knocks himsef unconscious due to
Jimmy's power cancelling out his unstoppable motion and degree of
invulnerability. Later, Jimmy is seen evacuating Alcatraz Island with
Pryde and Bobby Drake.

At the end of the film, Jimmy is seen as a member of the Xavier's
School and received by the new leader, Storm. At the end scene Magneto
seems to use his powers by slightly nudging a metallic chess piece,
hinting that the cure made from Jimmy's DNA might not be permanent.
[edit] Psylocke

In the film X2: X-Men United, her name appears on a list of names
Mystique scrolls through on Stryker's computer while looking for
Magneto's file, and in the X2 novelization, Psylocke made a cameo as
one of the mutants affected by Dark Cerebro. In it, she is in Vatican
City during a fashion show and is seen waking up from her coma —
induced by Dark Cerebro— when the machine begins affecting humans. She
uses her telepathy to sense what is going on.

Psylocke appears in the feature film X-Men: The Last Stand, played by
actress Meiling Melançon. In the film, she fights against the X-Men as
a member of the Brotherhood. During an interview with Wizard magazine,
Melançon said that in X3, Psylocke has the power to turn into shadows
and create psi-blades. However, in the film, she doesn't appear to
create psi-blades, but she appears out of nowhere. There were,
however, some very faint shadows visible when she did so. In the film,
Psylocke is killed alongside Arclight and a character based on Quill
(named "Kid Omega" in the credits) by the Dark Phoenix's
disintegration wave. The film's novelization makes no mention of what
happens to Psylocke, Kid Omega, and Arclight after their unsuccessful
attempt to kill Angel's father. According to scriptwriter Zak Penn,
the character played by Melançon was not named as Psylocke in the
original script. In a Q&A on thexverse.com, he claimed that: "There
was some switching of character names later in production, and I'm not
exactly sure how Psylocke got thrown into the mix."[citation needed]
On the DVD Commentary of the film it was stated by Brett Ratner that
the character played by Meiling Melançon is Psylocke.
[edit] Quill

A character resembling Quill appears as a member of The Omegas in the
film X-Men: The Last Stand, played by Ken Leung and listed in the
screen credits as "Kid Omega". He kills Dr. Kavita Rao and almost
kills Dr. Worthington, whose son Warren saves him. By the end, he is
killed by Phoenix, alongside fellow Omegas Psylocke and Arclight. He
is referred to as "Quill" in the Writer/Director Commentary.
[edit] Team X

In X-Men Origins: Wolverine, the team is lead by Col. William Stryker,
and consists of Wolverine, Sabretooth, Blob, Kestrel, Deadpool, Bolt,
and Agent Zero.

Only Sabretooth, Agent Zero, and (possibly) Deadpool remain faithful
to Stryker (though it's implied that Deadpool was brainwashed/
electronically bound to Stryker). Sabretooth kills off Bradley.
Stryker wishes to let Wolverine rejoin him. After Wolverine's
girlfriend is apparently killed by Sabretooth, Wolverine agrees to
participate in a Weapon X procedure. Adamantium is put into his
skeleton, and in a fit of rage, Wolverine escapes. Agent Zero attacks
him, but is killed by Wolverine in return. Wolverine finds Kestrel and
Blob, and Kestrel leads him to Remy LeBeau, a former captive of
Stryker. LeBeau mistakenly thinks Wolverine was sent to recapture him,
so LeBeau attacks him, blasting him into an alley where he finds out
that Sabretooth has killed Wraith. Wolverine fights Sabretooth and
nearly kills him, but Gambit intervenes, allowing Sabretooth to
escape. After Wolverine gains LeBeau's trust, LeBeau takes him to
Stryker's base, where Wolverine and (still alive) Silver Fox help
mutants escape. Sabretooth and Wolverine then fight Weapon XI, a bald,
pale Wade Wilson who now possesses multiple powers, and ultimately
defeat and kill him. Silver Fox is fatally shot while helping other
captured mutants escape.

Stryker, Wolverine and Sabretooth are the only Team X members
confirmed left alive. However a scene at the end of the credits shows
that Deadpool is alive too. Blob may also be alive as he is not seen
getting killed, though his death is implied in a conversation between
Wraith and Sabretooth.
[edit] Agent Zero

Agent Zero appears in the film X-Men Origins: Wolverine as a member of
Team X played by Daniel Henney[17]. He does not possess the ability to
absorb kinetic energy but is a lethal marksman and Stryker's second in
command. He and Victor Creed are the only ones from Team X that stayed
faithful to Stryker. When Wolverine breaks out from the Weapon X
facility, Zero pursues him, to an old barn belonging to a elderly
couple who have taken Wolverine in. He kills them and tries escaping
in a helicopter and then his helicopter crashes. After mocking
Wolverine about how "good-innocent people die around him" Wolverine
ignites a trail of fuel with his claws that causes the helicopter to
explode, killing Zero who is trapped inside. This version of the
character is depicted as being exceptionally ruthless - killing
several innocent civilians over the course of the film in order to
complete his mission. His powers in the film are enhanced strength,
speed, agility and accuracy with firearms. The character is repeatedly
referred to as Zero, rather than using his given name. However, in the
video game adaptation of the film, his name is given as David Nord.
[edit] Blob

* The Blob was originally supposed to appear in the first X-Men
movie, but didn't make it off the concept page. A hidden easter egg on
the first X-Men DVD release (not X-Men 1.5) shows concept art of the
Blob & Beast. In the 2003 film X2: X-Men United, the name "Dukes,
Fred" appears on a list of mutants which Mystique scrolls through on
Stryker's computer while looking for Magneto's file.

* The Blob is played by Kevin Durand in the film X-Men Origins:
Wolverine.[18] Fred Dukes was once part of Team X, composed of him,
James Howlett, Victor Creed, William Stryker, David North, Chris
Bradley, John Wraith and Wade Wilson. After the team disbands,
according to Wraith, the once-muscular and formidable soldier
developed an eating disorder and easily became obese, and Wraith is
currently training him to be a boxer. Wraith warns Logan not to make
fun of his weight. However, when Logan is demanding the location of
Victor Creed, he calls him, "Bub." Dukes, however, thinks that he
called him "blob" and starts fighting with him. At first Dukes gains
the upper hand, but is knocked out by headbutting Logan, whose
skeleton had recently been reinforced with adamantium. Dukes reveals
that Creed and Stryker are working together, capturing mutants and
experimenting on them, having allegedly learned the information from
Agent Zero. Dukes does not know the location of Stryker's base, but
says that there is an escaped mutant named Remy LeBeau who would. It's
implied in a conversation between Sabretooth and John Wraith that
Sabretooth learned their whereabouts from Dukes back in Las Vegas,
hinting he may have killed Dukes as well.

[edit] Bolt

Dominic Monaghan plays Chris Bradley/Bolt in the 2009 film X-Men
Origins: Wolverine. At first, it was reported he was going to play
Barnell Bohusk in the movie, but it was later revealed he was going to
play Bolt.[19] Bradley is not mentored by David North, but is his
teammate. Bradley is a part of Team X, alongside James Howlett, Victor
Creed, Agent Zero, Fred Dukes, John Wraith and Wade Wilson, and is led
by Maj. William Stryker. He has the ability to control anything
electric. Once the team disbanded, Bradley began doing shows at fairs,
playing tricks on people using a light bulb. He then is visited by
Creed, who kills him after he states he always thought it would be
Wade who would do the job. His power was then given to Deadpool to the
extent that Stryker could control him via burst transmissions from a
computer.
[edit] Deadpool/Weapon XI

Deadpool appears in the film X-Men Origins: Wolverine, played by Ryan
Reynolds.[20] Wade Wilson appears as a highly skilled, wisecracking
mercenary. However, he does not initially go by the name Deadpool.
Colonel William Stryker claims that he would be the perfect soldier if
he could keep his mouth shut. Later in the film, Sabretooth claims
that Wade was killed off screen. Wade had, however, actually been
traformed into "Weapon XI" a.k.a. the Deadpool (portrayed by both
Reynolds and Scott Adkins). He possesses other mutants' powers,
including Wolverine's healing factor, Scott Summers' optic blasts,
John Wraith's teleportation power and Bradley's technopathy. He also
features two long adamantium blades extending from his arms. Under the
remote control of Stryker, Deadpool begins fighting Wolverine, and
seems to be overpowering him, until Sabretooth returns to assist his
brother. Wolverine then decapitates Deadpool. In some copies of the
theatrical release, a post-credits scene was shown in which Deadpool's
hand is seen reaching for his severed head, which returns to life.[21]
[edit] Kestrel

John Wraith is played in the 2009 film X-Men Origins: Wolverine by
Will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas.[22] This is Will.i.am's film debut.
He used to be in Team X, also consisting of James "Logan" Howlett,
Victor Creed, Wade Wilson, Agent Zero, Chris Bradley, and Fred Dukes,
under the leadership of William Stryker. Wraith quits the team due to
morallity issues (he did not like the killing they did) and became a
boxing manager. When Howlett arrives for information about Stryker's
base, he tells him he should ask Dukes, who is now obese and is boxing
to keep in shape. Dukes gives him some information, and tells him he
should find Remy LeBeau, an escaped captive. Wraith goes with
Wolverine which leads them to a casino in Louisiana. Wraith guards the
back, only to see Creed. Knowing that he killed Bradley, they battle
in the street with Wraith using his ability to strike multiple times.
However, Wraith eventually teleports right into Creed's outstretched
claw, killing him. As he dies, Creed remarks that he was "always
predictable."
[edit] Silver Fox

Actress Lynn Collins plays Silver Fox in the 2009 film X-Men Origins:
Wolverine. She is named Kayla Silverfox. Instead of the accelerated
healing factor that Silver Fox was originally given, in the movie she
possesses a tactile mind control ability where she can control the
mind of anyone she touches, although it appears that Logan and Victor
Creed are immune to her ability due to their healing factors. She is
responsible for Logan's choice of "Wolverine" as his alias, the name
chosen in reference to a story she told him about a spirit who was
tricked into being parted forever from his lover the Moon, the spirit-
whose name translates as "Wolverine"- subsequently forced to look at
the Moon forever and never be with her again. She also identifies Emma
Frost as her sister.
[edit] Other characters
[edit] Lady Deathstrike

Yuriko Oyama/Deathstrike was portrayed by the actress Kelly Hu in the
film X2: X-Men United released in 2003. In her film incarnation, she
is not portrayed as a cyborg, but as a brainwashed mutant with
regenerative abilities similar to those of Wolverine. This version of
Deathstrike also demonstrates superhuman strength in the film,
throwing Wolverine across a room with enough force to shatter
concrete. The title of "Lady" was not used in her name. In the film,
she is William Stryker's assistant. She was also involved in the same
government program (Weapon X, though not named as such) as Wolverine,
giving her adamantium claws that extend from the tip of her
fingernails, instead of from her knuckles. On Stryker's orders, she
ambushed and successfully captured both Cyclops and Professor Xavier.
Although she is portrayed as a supervillainness in the film, her
actual orientation and origin are unclear because she is under the
effects of mind control. Wolverine disabled and seemingly killed her
in a fight by a fluid adamantium injection, in a fight that takes
place in the laboratory where Wolverine underwent his own
transformation. Kelly Hu wanted to reprise her role in the third film,
but after Bryan Singer left the project, she was no longer on the
project anymore. She wears a grey suit in the film for a period (a
look later used by Ultimate Lady Deathstrike) before wearing a leather
suit during the remainder of the film.
[edit] Artie Maddicks

A boy named Artie appears in a nonspeaking role in the second X-Men
film, X2, played by Bryce Hodgson; however, he has a single line of
dialogue in a deleted scene from X2. This character is never clearly
identified as Artie Maddicks. His appearance is normal aside from a
blue, forked tongue, and he does not demonstrate any powers in the
film.
[edit] Sentinals

Sentinels appeared in an early draft of the first film where Henry
Peter Gyrich and Bolivar Trask attacked the X-Men with Sentinels, but
didn't make it off the concept page. Sentinels were set for inclusion
in the second X-Men film, X2, but they did not appear onscreen
(although Project Wideawake is mentioned on a computer readout
screen). Sketches for the film versions of the Sentinels appear as
extras on the X2's DVD release. The Sentinels' height wasn't
specified, but the sketches indicated that although their appearance
was not severely altered, the film version had the ability to compact
itself into a rolling saucer as a mode of transportation. Recently,
Sentinels appeared in X-Men: The Official Game. The Sentinels featured
in the game appear to be similar to those from the game X-Men:
Children of the Atom. There are two types of Sentinels: one is a
smaller, aerial model; and the other is a giant walking behemoth.

* In X-Men: The Last Stand, a simulation of a Sentinel was used in
the Danger Room for Professor Xavier's mutant students to train and
fight against. At the end of the session, Colossus throws Wolverine at
the robot and he beheads it.

[edit] Sebastian Shaw

Sebastian Shaw appears in X2 voiced by Charles Siegel and appearing as
Dr. Shaw. He appears briefly on a television screen debating with
another well-known character from the comics, Hank McCoy.
[edit] Siyrn

* In the film X2: X-Men United, Siryn was played by Shauna Kain in
a small cameo role. During William Stryker's attack on the mansion,
her scream alerts the rest of the school that they are under attack.
She was knocked out, but was rescued by Colossus. Her name (along with
her father's) also appears on a list of names Mystique scrolls through
on Stryker's computer while looking for Magneto's file. In the
novelization for the film (written by Chris Claremont), Siryn and a
young Jamie Madrox are involved in a budding teen romance.
* Kain reprised the role in X-Men: The Last Stand.

The following is an overview of the [[List of X-Men films cast members|
characters]] depicted in the live-action [[X-Men (film series)|X-Men]]
films.

==X-Men==
{{see also|List of X-Men members|X-Men in other media}}

===Angel===

Warren Worthington III appears in the 2006 feature film ''[[X-Men: The

Last Stand]]'' portrayed by [[Ben Foster (actor)|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 (comics)|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.

===Beast===
====''X2: X-Men United''====
In the movie ''[[X2 (film)|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.

====''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. [http://www.x-
menthelaststand.com]

After meeting [[Leech (comics)|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 [[X-Men: The Last Stand#Adaptations|novelization]] of the film,
and in an alternate ending on the [[X-Men: The Last Stand#DVD (NTSC
Region 1 Version)|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 of Mutants|Brotherhood]] mutants invading
Alcatraz Island.

===Colossus===
====''X2''====
* In the 2003 film ''[[X2 (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.

====''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 (comics)|Wolverine]] up in the air (a
[[Fastball Special]]), who then takes down a [[Sentinel (comics)|
Sentinel]]. He also joins the battle with the other X-Men against
[[Magneto (comics)|Magneto]] on [[Alcatraz Island]]. Like in the

Danger Room, he throws Wolverine at Magneto, which is a distraction so

that [[Beast (comics)|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 ([[Iceman (comics)|Bobby Drake]] asks
what happened to [[Rogue (comics)|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

===Cyclops===
In the [[feature film]] ''[[X-Men (film)|X-Men]]'' (2000) and its
[[sequel]]s ''[[X2 (film)|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 (film series)|''X-Men'' series]], actor Tim Pocock
makes a minor role as a young Scott Summers.<ref>{{cite news | title =
Actor Cast As Scott Summers In Wolverine!? | work = X-Men Films.net |
date = 2008-05-06 | url = http://xmenfilms.net/blog/2008/05/06/actor-cast-as-scott-summers-in-wolverine/
| 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.

====''X-Men Origins: Wolverine''====
A young Cyclops has a minor role in ''[[X-Men Origins: Wolverine]]'',
where he is played by Australian actor [[Tim Pocock]]. He is first

seen being scolded and sent to [[detention]] by his teacher for
wearing his protective [[sunglasses]] in class. Later, while being
punished to copy words on a blackboard, he is attacked by [[Sabretooth

(comics)|Sabretooth]] who wants to capture him for [[William

Stryker]]'s mutant experiments. During the chase, Cyclops' sunglasses
fall off and his optic blasts damage the school building. He is
finally taken captive and temporarily blinded, but is soon freed when

a vengeful [[Wolverine (comics)|Wolverine]] attacks Stryker's

facility. While escaping, Cyclops makes use of his eye beams to
annihilate Stryker's minions, being pointed in the right direction by

[[Emma Frost]]. He is then guided by the telepathic voice of

[[Professor X]] who guides him and the other mutants to safety.
Outside, he meets Professor X for the first time and leaves with him
on his helicopter.

===Dazzler===
* In the film ''[[X2 (film)|X2: X-Men United]]'', her name appears on
a list of names [[Mystique (comics)|Mystique]] scrolls through on
[[William Stryker|Stryker's]] computer while looking for Magneto's
file.

* Dazzler was also rumored to make a cameo appearance in ''[[X-Men:
The Last Stand]]'' and portrayed by Canadian country singer [[Beverley

Mahood]].<ref>[http://www.perfectpeople.net/celebrity-star/3772/
beverley-mahood.htm Beverley Mahood -- Biography, Pictures, Forum,
Videos, News, Photos]</ref> Mahood didn't get a chance to film any

scenes as her character was ultimately cut out of the final script.

===Emma Frost===

* When [[Bryan Singer]] was still slated to direct the third
installment of the X-Men film series the role of Emma Frost was

intended for [[Sigourney Weaver]].<ref>{{cite web| last = Franklin|
first = Garth| title = Sigourney was considered for "X3"| publisher =
''DarkHorizons.com''|date=2006-09-14| url = http://www.darkhorizons.com/news04/040916e.php|
accessdate = 2006-10-06}}</ref> After Singer left the project in favor
of making ''[[Superman Returns]]'', the character was dropped
completely.

* Emma Frost appears in the 2009 film ''[[X-Men Origins: Wolverine]]''

portrayed by [[Tahyna Tozzi]]. She has the ability to change into a

diamond form but does not display telepathy. In the film, her sister,

[[Kayla Silverfox]], works for Stryker under the agreement that Emma

will be freed from the Weapons Facility, though Stryker later reneges
on their agreement. Emma assists in the escape attempt of the other
captured mutant children, using her diamond form to block incoming
bullets from hitting them, and then shields Cyclops so he can defeat
the attacking guards. Before the film's release, rumors stated that
actor [[Hugh Jackman]] identified the character as Emma Frost in the
film's trailer at Comic-Con 2008, though no such identification was
made. The character's identification was later supported by a Marvel
article released on their official website and in commercial trailers,
though she is only credited as "Kayla's sister/Emma" in the film

credits.<ref>http://www.marvel.com/news/moviestories.6407</ref><ref>

===Gambit===
* In ''[[X2 (film)|X2]]'', his name was seen on a screen among a list
of other mutants when [[Mystique (comics)|Mystique]] hacks the system
of [[William Stryker#Film|William Stryker]] for information on
different mutants. Stuntman [[James Bamford (stunt coordinator)|James

Bamford]] filmed a cameo as Gambit before it was cut. Instead, this
was added to [[Chris Claremont]]'s [[novelization]] of the ''X2''
movie. The book itself never mentions Gambit by name, but he is shown
as one of the mutants seen being affected by Dark [[Cerebro]]'s
activation. He is playing cards in a New Orleans bar when he suddenly
falls in pain and causes a table to explode. In the ''X3''
novelization, he is a new student at the mansion being trained by

Wolverine, along with [[Cannonball (comics)|Cannonball]], [[Danielle
Moonstar]], and [[Sage (comics)|Sage]].<ref>{{cite news | author =

*An early leaked script suggested that Gambit would be included in

''[[X-Men: The Last Stand]]'' as a new recruit and Iceman's romantic
rival for Rogue's affection. [[Josh Holloway]] was offered the role

but declined it due to scheduling conflicts on ''[[Lost (TV series)|
Lost]]''. An interview with producer [[Lauren Shuler Donner]] reveals

that [[Channing Tatum]] auditioned for the role, before the character

was cut.<ref>[http://www.flixster.com/news/2007/10/21/channing-tatum-
offered-heman-roletest-story-2]</ref> In an interview with Wizard
magazine, [[World Wrestling Entertainment|WWE]] [[professional
wrestling|professional wrestler]] [[Gregory Helms|Gregory 'The

Hurricane' Helms]] said that he had planned to read for the part

before the change of producers and director.<ref>[http://
www.marvel.com/news/comicstories.2607.Fightin'_Fanboys~colon~_Gregory_Helms_Pt~dot~_2]</ref>
According to the audio commentary of ''X-Men: The Last Stand'', Gambit

was to appear in the prison convoy scene of the movie, before the
character was cut. In the commentary of the movie the director reveals
that they did seriously consider putting Gambit in the movie but
decided against it as they thought it was too small a role for such a
big character. [[Lauren Shuler Donner]] revealed that [[James
Franco]] auditioned for the role in ''[[X-Men: The Last Stand]]'' but
didn't get the role before the character was cut.

*''[[Friday Night Lights (TV series)|Friday Night Lights]]'' star

[[Taylor Kitsch]] plays Gambit in director [[Gavin Hood]]'s 2009 film

''[[X-Men Origins: Wolverine]]''. In the storyline Remy LeBeau is a

former prisoner of [[William Stryker]] for 2 years, who was dubbed
'Gambit' from his guards as he kept beating them in poker. After two
years he managed to escape the facility, but was later confronted by

[[Wolverine (comics)|Wolverine]], who wanted to know where Stryker's

base was to destroy it. Gambit, mistakenly believing he was sent to
recapture him, attacked and later interrupted a fight between

Wolverine and [[Sabertooth (comics)|Sabertooth]], inadvertently

letting Sabertooth escape and robbing Wolverine of his revenge. After
Wolverine defeats him, Gambit sees he is sincere and flies him to
Stryker's base. At the conclusion, Gambit briefly returns to his side,
and, after Wolverine's memories are lost, tells him his 'name': Logan.
He offers to help get Logan and Silverfox's body off the island, but

Logan turns him down, stating he can find his own way.<br>His

trademark brown trench coat has been rendered to a black leather
duster, the character does not wear gloves or boots, and his signature
Red on Black eyes have been reduced to normal colored eyes that merely
glow red when he uses his power. Gambits powers are also altered
slightly, as he demonstrates limited telekinesis and the power to
charge objects without necessarily touching them. He uses this to
charge and launch several cards at once. This version of Gambit seems
to be lightly inspired by the [[Ultimate X-Men]] version of the
character, who is a retired thief and sporting a "cleaned up" accent

that is a Southern/Cajun mix.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://

Wolverine Movie|publisher=empireonline.com|date=2008-02-19|
accessdate=2008-02-19}}</ref>

===Jean Grey===
[[Famke Janssen]] portrays Jean Grey/Phoenix in the feature films
''[[X-Men (film)|X-Men]]'', ''[[X2 (film)|X2: X-Men United]]'', and
''[[X-Men: The Last Stand]]''. A young version of Jean is also seen in
''[[X-Men: The Last Stand]]'', and is played by [[Haley Ramm]].

====''X-Men''====
In ''X-Men'', Jean was introduced as the team’s [[physician|medical
doctor]] (reportedly as a substitute for [[Beast (comics)|Dr. Hank
McCoy]], who would have required prosthetic makeup) and is involved in

a long-term relationship with Cyclops. A love triangle develops
between her, Cyclops, and Wolverine. Jean's powers are mild compared
to her teammates' and her telepathy is not as powerful as that of
Professor X, who is still teaching her to develop it. She can levitate
small objects, and in the Statue of Liberty battle scene she is able
to cease Toad's momentum very briefly, keep Wolverine steady as Storm
propels him through the air, and lift Cyclops' visor into the air. An

early version of the "[[Phoenix_Force_(comics)#Films|Phoenix effect]]"

can be seen as a glow when she manages to help Wolverine achieve his
goal of breaking the machine with his claws.

====''X2: X-Men United''====
In ''X2: X-Men United'', at the Science Museum, Jean expresses her

concerns to Cyclops about her experiences of frequent bad dreams and
headaches. She states that her powers have been increasing since the
events of "Liberty Island". The exact cause is never mentioned
onscreen, although it is stated in the first film's DVD commentary
that it is a side effect of her being in close proximity to Magneto's
machine. Jean begins to exhibit Phoenix-like powers as she uses her
telekinesis to deflect the missiles fired at the X-Men while trying to
escape from the US Air Force. Her eyes glow fiery red as she
successfully destroys one missile, and also in another incident, when
she fights Cyclops who is under [[William Stryker]]'s control, and is
able to telekinetically shield herself from Cyclops' optic beam before
dispersing it and scattering the energy about, causing it to destroy
the dam's structural integrity. After the destruction in Alkali Lake,
Jean sacrifices herself to save her teammates from the ruptured dam.
Her power reaches to the maximum level as she sends the inoperative

[[Blackbird (comics)|X-Jet]] away, telepathically cancels
[[Nightcrawler (comics)|Nightcrawler]]'s teleportation to prevent him
from rescuing her, and communicating with [[Cyclops (comics)|Cyclops]]

through Professor X, as she momentarily holds back the resulting tidal
wave that eventually claims her mortal body. At that point, Jean is
engulfed by fire, as she closes her eyes and lets the waters crash

onto her. At the end of ''X2'', a vision of a Phoenix raptor is seen

glowing underneath the lake where Jean seemingly died, as she narrates
an explanation of evolution to the audience. That side of Jean
together with the psychic shield story is narrated to a shocked
Wolverine by a concerned Xavier in X-Men: The Last Stand.

====''X-Men: The Last Stand''====
In ''X-Men: The Last Stand'', Jean's death severely affects Cyclops,

who has frequent nightmares of her, and is unable to move on due to
constant telepathic messages from her. He returns to Alkali Lake,
where he angrily releases the full force of his optic blasts into the
waters, only to see Jean Grey rise from the water, alive. They begin
to kiss and she insists he remove his glasses as she is able to
control his powers, but then apparently kills him by atomizing him
with her telekinesis (his clear, outright death is not shown on
screen, but referred to repeatedly following the event; during the
kiss). Unconscious, she is taken back to the mansion by Storm and
Wolverine. There, it is revealed by Professor X that since childhood,
Jean had powers that were beyond all known limitations. Fearing that
Jean could not control her vast powers, Charles Xavier put psychic
blocks around her subconscious mind to keep Jean's immense powers at
bay. As a result while growing up, Jean has developed a dual
personality - one being her usual self and the other being her

powerful and uninhibited side which calls itself the '[[The Dark
Phoenix Saga|Phoenix]]' which emerges when she gets angry. Jean's Dark

Phoenix powers began to manifest as she uses her telekinesis to attack
Xavier. Her eyes turn black (with a subtle amount of fire in her
irises), her hair goes from dark red to a fiery orange color, and her
skin darkens and becomes veiny (almost zombie-like) as she
disintegrates Xavier and joins Magneto's Brotherhood. Upon attacking

[[Alcatraz Island]], Jean, in her Dark Phoenix form, unleashes her
[[Armageddon]]-like fury and destroys much of Worthington Labs, the
[[Blackbird (comics)|X-Jet]], and kills both mutants and humans along

the way. Wolverine tells Storm to get everyone to safety while he
stays behind, as he is the only one who can stop her (due to his
healing factor). He manages to get Jean, who burns through his skin
multiple times, to re-surface long enough to plead for him to stop her
from causing any more harm. Wolverine says to Jean he loves her. After
his profession of love Wolverine quickly stabs her with his claws.
With that, Jean's destruction ceases and she smiles thankfully to
Logan before she dies. Her gravestone is later seen next to Cyclops'
and Xavier's.

Despite drawing from the comic's iconic 'Dark Phoenix Saga' the film
takes many liberties. The name Phoenix is used only once in the film
when Xavier describes to Logan Jean's dual personalities. Jean is
never called the Phoenix, let alone the Dark Phoenix, in the entire
movie except in a deleted scene in which Jean and Xavier, during their
psychic battle, converse telepathically. In ''X2: X-Men United''
Jean's growing power manifested itself into the iconic 'Phoenix

Raptor' consumed by fire- true to the X-Men comic. However, in ''X-
Men: The Last Stand'', Jean's fire wielding powers are only seen when

she steps in front of Cyclops after rising from Alkali Lake and then
are completely disregarded.

In the official ''X3'' site, Jean Grey's alias is "Marvel Girl", like
in the comics.

===Jubilee===

Jubilee appears in the first three X-Men films, portrayed by [[Katrina

Florece]] in ''[[X-Men (film)|X-Men]]'' and by [[Kea Wong]] in ''[[X2
(film)|X2: X-Men United]]'' and ''[[X-Men: The Last Stand]]''. In the

first film, Jubilee is limited to a few cameo scenes in both Professor
Xavier's and Storm's classrooms. She is featured in a deleted scene,

in which she talks to both [[Kitty Pryde]] and Rogue. In ''X2'',

Jubilee appears in a deleted version of the museum scene which gives a
brief introduction to her powers as blue electricity crackles around
her fingers. Jubilee is among the six kidnapped young mutants that
Storm and Nightcrawler rescue. She can be heard calling Storm's name

and is shown running to safety with the X-Men and can be seen in the X-

Jet. She also appears in the final classroom scene and briefly talks
to Professor Xavier. The size of her role in ''X-Men: The Last Stand''
is limited; she appears within the first ten minutes of the film, and
can be seen sitting in the classroom.

===Nightcrawler===
Nightcrawler appeared in an early draft of [[X-Men (film)|X-Men]], but
was deleted. In the film ''[[X2 (film)|X2: X-Men United]]'',
Nightcrawler is played by [[Alan Cumming]].

In the film, Nightcrawler is brainwashed with a fluid from [[William
Stryker]]'s mutant son in order to attempt an assassination on the

[[President of the United States]]. The opening scenes of the movie

are almost a showcase of Nightcrawler's powers, with him versus the
Secret Service, defeating them in a memorable fashion. Storm and Jean
Grey are sent to find him and bring him back to the mansion, and
Wagner goes with them. He helps Storm save the children and stop
Stryker's [[Cerebro]] at the Alkali Lake facility and joins the team
at the end, saving Charles when Stryker's Cerebro was destroyed.

He did not appear in ''[[X-Men: The Last Stand]]'' because, according
to the movie's official video game, the character didn't like the

violent lifestyle of the [[X-Men]]. Furthermore, the crew thought it

wasn't worth going through the long hours of preparation given that
Cumming didn't enjoy the heavy make-up needed for his character and
because Nightcrawler's appearance was only going to be minimal.

===Kitty Pryde===
* In the film ''[[X-Men (film)|X-Men]]'', she has a small cameo,
played by [[Sumela Kay]]. She is referenced as "the girl who can walk
through walls" by [[Robert Kelly (comics)|Senator Kelly]]. She is

shown in Xavier's class when Wolverine walks in; she returns for her
forgotten books, grabs them, and phases through the door on her way
out. Xavier responds with a cheerful "Bye, Kitty" while Wolverine (who
had never seen her before in the movies) is startled.

* In ''[[X2 (film)|X2: X-Men United]]'', she has a brief appearance
played by [[Katie Stuart]]. She is shown phasing through walls and

people to escape [[William Stryker]]'s military forces during their

attack on the [[X-Mansion]]. Another scene shows her falling through

her bed to avoid an assault.

* In ''[[X-Men: The Last Stand]]'', she is portrayed by [[Academy

Award]] nominee [[Ellen Page]] and has a central role, rather than her
cameo appearances in the two previous films. She serves as a rival to

[[Rogue (comics)|Rogue]] for the romantic attentions of [[Iceman
(comics)|Iceman]], since their close friendship makes Rogue
increasingly jealous and frustrated. She also joins the X-Men in the
battle on [[Alcatraz Island]], breaking off from the battle to save
[[Leech (comics)|Leech]] from the [[Juggernaut (comics)|Juggernaut]].

Also, during the final battle at Alcatraz, Wolverine glances at her
before the battles begins, as if to quell her fears. This moment was

confirmed by [[Brett Ratner]], the director of the film, in an

interview, as referencing the well known "buddy" relationship between
the two characters in the comics. In the novelization of the film, it
is hinted that at some point Kitty had a romantic relationship with
Colossus, but that it had long since run its course, although Colossus
appears to still retain feelings towards her.

===Rogue===
Rogue was portrayed by [[Anna Paquin]] in the [[X-Men (film
series)|''X-Men'' trilogy]]. In the films, her relationship with
Wolverine echoes his relationships with both [[Jubilee (comics)|
Jubilee]] and [[Kitty Pryde|Shadowcat]] in the comics; that of a
protective surrogate father.

====''X-Men'' (film)====
Rogue (''Marie'' was her actual first name) runs away from home after

her power manifests itself by accidentally draining the life from her
boyfriend while she is kissing him. This causes him to have a
seizure, and places him in a [[coma]] for 3 weeks. (At this point she
is missing the white [[streak]] in her hair that is her most notable
feature.) Rogue adopts her new alias and wanders into a bar, where she

witnesses [[Wolverine (comics)|Wolverine]] getting into an altercation

with some patrons. She later catches up to Wolverine and convinces
him to get her a lift in his truck. The two talk and seem to develop a
close bond. On the road, both are attacked by another mutant,

[[Sabretooth (comics)|Sabretooth]], who is Magneto's henchman, but

they are rescued by two X-Men, Storm and Cyclops. Then, Rogue
integrates as another student of Charles Xavier, in his special school

of mutant (''gifted'') children. Meanwhile, Magneto builds a machine

====''X2: X-Men United''====
In [[X2 (film)|X2: X-Men United]], Rogue begins dating [[Iceman
(comics)|Iceman]] (her love interest from the past film), despite her

continued difficulties making direct physical contact, a factor which
frustrates both of them. At one point, Iceman is overcome by the
sight of Rogue with minimal clothes on and kisses her, which at first
seems successful and carries on for longer than either of them
expected it to, but soon Iceman is forced to pull away when her powers
inevitably start harming him. Rogue and the other X-Men also manage to
escape [[William Stryker]] who sends agents into the X-Mansion to

kidnap the mutants. Rogue, Iceman, [[Pyro (comics)|Pyro]], and

Wolverine escape to Iceman's family home in Boston. However, Iceman's
younger brother, angered by the "gifts" of his older brother, calls
the police on the X-Men. When they arrive, Wolverine is shot in the
head by a policeman, and an enraged Pyro manages to destroy many of
the police and their vehicles. Rogue touches Pyro's skin and absorbs
his powers, enabling her to calm the flames. This scene depicts Rogue
also absorbing the emotions of others unlike other scenes in the
trilogy, as she seems to be grimacing while calming the destruction
that Pyro has created. Both Rogue and Iceman are eventually promoted
to the front line X-Men team and are given uniforms similar to the
other X-Men at the conclusion of the film, when Xavier and the X-Men
team meet the President in the White House.

====''X-Men: The Last Stand''====
In ''[[X-Men: The Last Stand]]'', a pharmaceutical company announces

that they have a cure for the mutant gene. Rogue expresses interest
in being cured, evidently still longing to touch someone. When Iceman

begins to develop a friendship with [[Kitty Pryde]], and especially

after seeing them "hugging" during a training session (they did it
mostly to avoid a missile that almost hit them) and after watching
them ice skate together, she is encouraged more so. Upset, Rogue
leaves to seek out the cure; Iceman follows her to the pharmaceutical
company, but cannot find her. At the very end of the film, she comes
back to the school, simply saying, "I'm sorry, I had to." When Iceman
expresses disappointment and says it wasn't what he wanted, she says,
"I know. It's what I wanted." It is revealed Rogue had taken the
cure, and they hold hands, Rogue bare handed. An alternate ending
reveals that Rogue ultimately decided against taking the cure and
holds Iceman's hand with gloves on.

===Storm===
Storm appears in the movies ''[[X-Men (film)|X-Men]]'', ''[[X2 (film)|
X2: X-Men United]]'', and ''[[X-Men: The Last Stand]]'', portrayed by
[[Halle Berry]]. Storm received little screen time in the first film

and took a backseat to characters such as Wolverine, Professor X, and
Jean Grey. In the second film, Storm had more screen time, but no

real story. Berry rallied for more character development,<ref>{{cite

third film, with new director [[Brett Ratner]]. She was considering

not reprising her role as Storm after constant arguments with original
X-Men director Bryan Singer. In the first film, Berry portrays Storm
with a [[Kenyan]] accent, which was an aspect decidedly left out of
the following two films. For her role in the third X-Men film, Berry
received a [[People's Choice Awards]] for "Best Female Action Hero."
While accepting the award, she encouraged fans to write letters to X-

Men producer [[Tom Rothman]] if they want to see an "X-Men 4."<ref>

</ref>

A young Ororo Munroe was to appear in a cameo in the prequel ''[[X-Men

Origins: Wolverine]]''. Some of the footage was incorporated in to

some teaser trailers. The footage was not incorporated into the final
release of the film.

===Wolverine===

Many actors were considered in casting Wolverine in a film adaptation

of [[X-Men]]. At one point in the 1990s, [[Glenn Danzig]] was

approached to play Wolverine in ad hoc committee ''X-Men'' film,
because he bore an uncanny resemblance to the character, as well as
being the same height as Wolverine, and very muscular. However, he had
to decline, due to the fact that the shooting for the film would force

him to put a halt to touring with [[Danzig (band)|his band]] for nine
months.<ref>MTV News. June 3, 1997</ref>

[[Bryan Singer]], the director of the first two ''X-Men'' movies,

spoke to a number of actors about the role. He says [[Russell Crowe]]
was too exhausted after playing a similar role in ''Gladiator''; that
the role didn't appeal to [[Edward Norton]] (Norton would later be

cast as fellow Marvel hero [[Hulk (comics)|Hulk]] for the 2008 film
''[[The Incredible Hulk (film)|The Incredible Hulk]]''); and that Fox

themselves ruled out [[Mel Gibson]] as being too expensive. In 1999,

''SFX magazine'' spoke to [[Keanu Reeves]], who told the publication

he didn't feel he was right for the role.

Eventually, [[Dougray Scott]] was cast as Wolverine, but shooting on
''[[Mission: Impossible II]]'' overran. [[Hugh Jackman]] became his
replacement, and went on to play Wolverine in all the ''X-Men'' films:

''[[X-Men (film)|''X-Men'']]'', ''[[X2 (film)|''X2: X-Men
United'']]'', and ''[[X-Men: The Last Stand]]''. When it was first
announced, it was considered a highly controversial move{{Citation
needed|date=July 2007}}, as Hugh Jackman was not only known solely for

his musical theater career, but the fact that he was simply too tall
for the role (Jackman being 6'3", the comic-book version of Wolverine
being approximately 5'3"). Despite these divergences though, Jackman's
actual performance was incredibly well-received, becoming one of
highlights of the series and launching his career into super-

stardom.<ref> {{cite web| title = Daily Poll: Superhero casting|
publisher = IMDb| url = http://www.imdb.com/poll/results/2006-07-12|
accessdate = 2006-10-21}}</ref> He reprised his role for a prequel

movie revealing more on Wolverine's origins.

====''X-Men Origins: Wolverine'' (2009)====
[[20th Century Fox]] has set [[Gavin Hood]] to direct Hugh Jackman in
''[[X-Men Origins: Wolverine]]'', an "X-Men" spinoff that was written
by [[David Benioff]] and [[Skip Woods]].

''[[X-Men Origins: Wolverine]]'', which began production in November

2007 for a May 1, 2009 release, will be produced by Lauren Shuler-
Donner, Ralph WinterJackman and his Seed Productions partner John
Palermo.

Using several resources that include the Marvel Comics lore, along
with the more recent Weapon X graphic novels, Wolverine mixes action
with an origin story about how Logan emerged from a barbaric
experiment as an indestructible mutant with retractable razor-sharp

claws.<ref>[http://www.superherohype.com/news/topnews.php?id=6033
Gavin Hood to Direct Wolverine! - Superhero Hype!<!-- Bot generated
title -->]</ref>

This story begins with Wolverine's childhood as James Howlett, his
powers activating in 1845 after witnessing the death of his father at
the hands of Thomas Logan, who reveals that he is James' biological
father only after the grief-stricken James has impaled him with his

new claws. Fleeing with his half-brother [[Sabretooth (comics)|
Victor]], the two spend the next several decades operating as soldiers

in various wars until Vietnam when they are recruited by now-Major
William Stryker for a special team (consisting of Logan, Stryker,
Victor, teleporter John Wraith, black ops Frederick Dukes, marksman
David North (a.k.a. Agent Zero), electricity manipulator [[Chris
Bradley]] and martial artist Wade Wilson), but James leaves the team
after realizing how willing the other members are to kill innocent
people to achieve their goals.

Moving on to become a lumberjack with a woman called [[Silver Fox|
Kayla Silverfox]], James - now going by the name of his real father,

Logan - is lured back to Stryker after the apparently-rogue Victor
kills Kayla, prompting him to agree to Stryker's offer to enhance his
skeleton with adamantium to give him the strength to kill Victor-
choosing the name 'Wolverine' from a tale Kayla told him about a
spirit that was tricked into being parted forever from his lover the
Moon-, only to flee when he learns that Stryker intends to erase his
memories and use his DNA as part of another experiment. Escaping the
labs and eliminating the first wave of pursuers- along with his former

teammate [[David North (comics)|Agent Zero]]- Wolverine tracks down
teammates [[John Wraith]] and [[Blob (comics)|Fred Dukes]], learning

from both of an island facility where Stryker keeps mutants prisoner.

Finding the facility with the aid of [[Gambit (comics)|Gambit]]- the

only mutant alive to escape it-, Wolverine is horrified to learn that
Kayla was actually an agent of Stryker's all along and her death was
faked, but is spurred back into action when he learns that she did
genuinely love him. Freeing the mutant prisoners- including Kayla's

sister [[Emma Frost|Emma]] and Wolverine's future ally [[Cyclops
(comics)|Scott Summers]]-, Wolverine confronts the newly-activated
'Weapon XI'- his old teammate [[Deadpool (comics)#Film|Wade Wilson]],

his mouth now sealed shut and artificially granted multiple mutant
powers-, finally defeating him with the aid of Victor, who vows that
only he gets to kill Wolverine.

Before Wolverine can leave with Kayla, however, Stryker shoots
Wolverine in the head with adamantium bullets, subsequently departing
after Kayla orders him to leave using her power of persuasion. When
Wolverine regains consciousness, his injuries have healed but the
damage to his brain has seemingly permanently destroyed his memories,
subsequently departing the island to seek his own way.

====''X-Men (2000)''====
At the beginning of ''[[X-Men (film)|X-Men]]'', Logan / Wolverine is
introduced as a cigar-smoking hunk in [[Canada]] where he picks on

persons in cage fights to make money, taking advantage of his
[[adamantium]] skeleton. Later in the bar, he is confronted by a young

Marie, who changes her name to [[Rogue (comics)|Rogue]] ([[Anna
Paquin]]) as she put her boyfriend into a coma while kissing him and

hence ran away from Mississippi. It is here that she sees Wolverine's
retractable adamantium-laced claws, when the latter engages in a
fight. When he is about to leave in his truck, Rogue introduces
herself to him and asks if she come along. At first, he declines, but
later he accepts and takes her with him.

On their way, their truck is attacked by [[Sabretooth (comics)|
Sabretooth]] ([[Tyler Mane]]). Wolverine tries to battle with him, but

is knocked out. Before Sabretooth can do any further damage, he is
stopped and chased away by two other mysterious mutants, [[Cyclops

(comics)|Cyclops]] ([[James Marsden]]) and [[Storm (Marvel Comics)|
Storm]] ([[Halle Berry]]), who rescue both Wolverine and Rogue and

bring them to the X-Mansion.

When Dr. [[Jean Grey]] ([[Famke Jannsen]]) tries to treat Wolverine,

he comes to his senses and immediately starts exploring the place. He
finds out that there are mutants like him there who were trying to
control their unnatural abilities under the tutelage of Professor

[[Charles Xavier]] ([[Patrick Stewart]]). Professor X convinces
Wolverine to stay with them and become an [[X-Men|X-Man]], as he could

get an opportunity to learn more about his forgotten past. Wolverine
agrees and stays. A rivalry immediately forms between Cyclops and
Wolverine as the latter flirts relentlessly with Jean, the girlfriend
of Cyclops.

Later, [[Mystique (comics)|Mystique]] ([[Rebecca Romijn]]),
impersonating [[Bobby Drake|Bobby Drake / Iceman]] ([[Shawn
Ashmore]]), tells Rogue to leave the place as "she is a danger to

everybody else". This was actually a trick to lure Rogue out of the X-

Mansion, so that she could be used by [[Magneto (comics)|Magneto]]
([[Sir Ian McKellen]]) in the success of a machine that could turn all

humans into mutants. When Wolverine finds out about Rogue's absence,
he along with the X-Men reach the [[Statue of Liberty]] where Magneto
is operating on his plans. In the process, Wolverine encounters
Mystique and stabs her, virtually killing her, but she survives. He is
also challenged by Sabretooth and they both engage in a fight, but
Cyclops knocks Sabretooth off the Statue and he crashes into a boat
below. In the end, Wolverine frees Rogue from Magneto and the machine,
but she appears to be dead. Wolverine suffers life-threatening
injuries when he intentionally makes contact with Rogue, allowing her
to absorb his mutant healing factor in order to recover. After
awakening in the mansion and recovering from his vast injuries, he
declares his sincere amorous feelings for a reticent Jean. As a reward
of his victory along with the X-Men, Professor X gives Wolverine a
hint for the search of his past, directing him to a mysterious Alkali
Lake. Prior to his departure, Wolverine leaves his dog-tag necklace
with Rogue, promising that "I'll be back for this". At the end of the
film, Wolverine is seen leaving the mansion on Scott's (Cyclops) bike
towards his destination.

====''X2: X-Men United (2003)''====
In ''[[X2 (film)|X2: X-Men United]]'', continuing his search that he
started at the end of ''X-Men'', Wolverine finally discovers the

Alkali Lake, but only finds an old and deserted factory, giving no
clue about his forgotten past. He is disappointed and returns to the X-
Mansion after a call from Professor X.

Upon returning, Wolverine is given the responsibility to look after
the mutant children in the mansion in Professor X's absence, who plans
to visit Magneto in his "plastic prison" with Cyclops to discover what

information had he given to [[William Stryker]] ([[Brian Cox]]). Jean
Grey and Storm also leave in search of [[Nightcrawler]] ([[Alan
Cummings]]), who was found guilty of attacking the [[President]] of
the [[USA|United States]]. When the Professor is interrogating

Magneto, he learns that Magneto had leaked all the information about
the X-Mansion and the Cerebro to Stryker. Moreover, Professor X is
later kidnapped along with Cyclops by Stryker's forces.

Back in the X-Mansion, at night, Wolverine has nightmares of his
involvement in the mysterious [[Weapon X]] program, and decides to
walk around the mansion, where he starts chatting with Bobby / Iceman.
But all of a sudden, Stryker along with his military troops, invades
the mansion and starts to the look for the Cerebro. Wolverine kills
many of the soldiers, and saves the mutant children. He asks

[[Colossus (comics)|Colossus / Piotr Rasputin]] ([[Daniel Cudmore]]),
Bobby, Rogue and [[Pyro (comics)|Pyro / John Allerdyce]] ([[Aaron
Stanford]]) to leave. And as Wolverine is about to escape too, he is

confronted by William Stryker, whose presence strikes more forgotten
memories in his mind. But he shakes out of it, and leaves with the
remaining X-Men in a car for [[Boston]] to Bobby's house. Meanwhile,
Stryker finds Cerebro and steals it.

When Storm and Jean, along with Nightcrawler, learn of the attack on

the X-Mansion from Wolverine, they head towards Boston in the [[X-
Jet]] to recruit the X-Men from Bobby's house. During the X-Men's

journey, Magneto and Mystique, who helped the former to escape from
his prison, offer their help to the X-Men in bringing down William
Stryker, who, as revealed by Magneto, was planning to use Professor X
and his handling of the Cerebro to kill all the mutants on Earth. He
also reveals Stryker's base of operations to be the Alkali Lake. The X-

Men agree to form the alliance. Wolverine later kisses Jean, but is

rejected by her as she tells him that she loves Scott. Mystique,
seeing this exchange, takes advantage of Wolverine's love for Jean and
approaches him in his tent, disguised as Jean, but Wolverine quickly
discerns that she is an imposter(by the wound on her stomach made by
Wolverine's claws in the first film) and rejects her.

At the Alkali Lake, Jean finds that Stryker's base was underground.
Mystique, impersonating Wolverine, infiltrates the base and tricks
Stryker's troops to open a gateway for the X-Men to enter. There,
Wolverine decides to explore the base all by himself and he comes
across a laboratory where he sees his claws' scratch marks on the
walls. Now, he starts remembering what happened to him and how he was
experimented upon with the adamantium. William Stryker arrives and
clears Wolverine's doubts, revealing that he had created the "animal
within Wolverine". When Wolverine is about to get his hands on him,
Stryker introduces another mutant with adamantium skeleton and claws,

[[Lady Deathstrike|Lady Deathstrike / Yuriko Oyama]] ([[Kelly Hu]]),

who battles Wolverine but is disabled by him. Wolverine trails Styker,
when meanwhile the X-Men rescue Cyclops, Professor X and the kidnapped
mutant children.

After the destruction of his base, Stryker tries to flee in his
helicopter but is caught by Wolverine and interrogated. Stryker
refuses to cooperate and is pinned by Wolverine, who leaves him to be
drowned in the flood water. When the X-Men are about to leave, Jean
sacrifices herself by protecting them from the flood. Wolverine and
Cyclops mourn her death. In the end of the film, Wolverine, hiding his
love for Jean, informs Cyclops that Jean had chosen to be with Scott.

====''X-Men: The Last Stand''====
Wolverine returns in ''The Last Stand''. He is seeing in a Danger Room

session with the other X-Men. He later meets Beast for the first time
when Beast visits the X-Mansion. When the ressurcted Jean Grey kills
Cyclops, he and Storm are send to inspect. When Professor Xavier
explains about Jean's dual personatily, he becomes more interested.
After Jean escapes the X-Mansion, he, Storm and Professor Xavier find
her in her childhood home. Magneto, also aware about Jean's
personatliy, wants to control her. A fight ensues between him, Storm,
Professor Xavier and Magneto's henchmen and Jean. Jean kills Professor
Xavier and joins Magneto. He leaves the school and finds Jean and
Magneto who plan to attack Alctraz Island and comes back to the
school. He then takes place at the battle between X-Men and Magneto.
He and Beast ultimately inject Magneto with the cure, nullyfing his
magnetic powers. Wolverine confesses his love for Jean Grey and stabs
her with his claws and it kills her.

===Professor X===
Professor Charles Xavier has appeared in all four live-action ''X-
Men'' feature films to date: ''[[X-Men (film)|X-Men]]'', ''[[X2 (film)|
X2: X-Men United]]'', ''[[X-Men: The Last Stand]]'' and ''[[X-Men
Origins: Wolverine]]''. He is played by [[Patrick Stewart]].

====''X-Men''====
Xavier is first introduced in ''X-Men'', when he sends Storm and

Cyclops to rescue Wolverine and Rogue from Sabertooth. Xavier believes
that the attack was caused by Magneto and that Wolverine was the
intended target. He gives Wolverine and Rogue a home in the institute
and promises to help Wolverine remember his past if he is also allowed
forty-eight hours to discover why Magneto wants Wolverine. Xavier uses
Cerebro to locate Rogue when she runs away, but is poisoned when he
uses it later (as Mystique had tampered with it). At the end of the
movie, he recovers and advises Wolverine to search Alkali Lake for
answers to his past.

====''X2: X-Men United''====

Upon learning that the mutant Nightcrawler attacked the President of
the United States, Xavier sends Storm and Jean to bring the mutant for
questioning. He and Scott leave to visit Magneto (as he is suspected
behind the attack), leaving Wolverine in charge of the school. In
Magneto's cell, Xavier learns that Magneto was drugged by William
Stryker and forced to tell Stryker all about the institute and
Cerebro. Before he can escape, Xavier is knocked out. He wakes up in
Stryker's underground test facility, tied to a chair and fixed to a
device that restricts his mental powers. He is left in the room with
Jason Stryker, William's son and a powerful illusionist who Xavier
previously taught. Now mind controlled by his father, Jason traps
Xavier into various illusions, keeping him in one where Xavier is back
in the institute (which is empty) and Jason is portrayed as a scared
little girl. To comfort the "girl" and find his students, Xavier goes
to use Cerebro. It is discovered that Xavier was captured to power a
makeshift Cerebro Stryker created. Under Jason's illusion, Xavier is
tricked into concentrating on all of the world's mutants, nearly
killing them. He then switches to attacking all of the world's humans
after Magneto interferes. Nightcrawler and Storm rescue Xavier from
the illusion and he has them all fly to Washington, to warn the
president against the possibility of a mutant/human war.

====''X-Men: The Last Stand''====

Xavier first appears in a flashback, when he and Magneto pick up a
young Jean Grey as their first student. He is given a more youthful
appearance with digital technology.

In the present, Xavier expresses worry over Scott's grief over Jean's
death and tells Storm that should anything happen to him, she was to
replace him as head of the school. When Jean is discovered alive,
Xavier sedates her and tells Wolverine that he had kept her powers in
check with mental barriers since she was a child, resulting in her
developing a second personality known as "The Phoenix". When Jean
awakens as The Phoenix and escapes, Xavier tracks her down to her old
home and tries to convince her to return. Infuriated both by Xavier's
meddling in her head and Magneto (who insinuates that Xavier wishes to
restain her and "give her the cure"), she uses her mind to first lift
her house into the air and then cause Xavier to explode into dust. His
death causes a great impact on the residents of the institute and it
is nearly closed until Storm decides to honor Xavier's wishes and act
as its head. In an after-credits scene, Xavier speaks to Moira

McTaggert through the body of a [[coma]]tose man, implying that his
consciousness survived.

====''X-Men Origins: Wolverine''====

Professor X appears briefly towards the end of ''X-Men Origins:

Wolverine''. After Wolverine frees a group of young mutants including
a young [[Cyclops (comics)|Cyclops]] from [[William Stryker]]'s lab,

they try to escape from the facility but get lost. Cyclops suddenly
hears a telepathic voice, which guides him out to safety along with
the other mutants. Outside they are greeted by Professor X, who was
communicating telepathically with Cyclops. The professor then takes
everyone into his helicopter, presumably to his mutant school. Like in

the opening of ''The Last Stand'', Patrick Stewart was digitally de-
aged to appear younger.

==Brotherhood of Mutants==
{{see also|List of Brotherhood of Mutants members}}

In 2000's ''[[X-Men (film)|X-Men]]'' movie, the Brotherhood included
[[Magneto (comics)|Magneto]] ([[Ian McKellen|Sir Ian McKellen]]),
[[Sabretooth (comics)|Sabretooth]] ([[Tyler Mane]]), [[Mystique
(comics)|Mystique]] ([[Rebecca Romijn]]) and [[Toad (comics)|Toad]]
([[Ray Park]]). In the film, Magneto with the help of his Brotherhood,

devises a machine that can trigger mutation in human beings, and with
which the former plans to wipe out the human race and replace it with
a whole world of mutants. The Brotherhood's plans are, however, foiled

by the [[X-Men]].

In the sequel ''[[X2 (film)|X2: X-Men United]]'' (2003) the lineup was

greatly reduced to Magneto and Mystique only. However at the end of

the film, they were joined by [[Pyro (comics)|Pyro]] ([[Aaron
Stanford]]).

The third installment of the series, ''[[X-Men: The Last
Stand]]'' (2006), depicted a much larger Brotherhood including:

* [[Juggernaut (comics)|Juggernaut]] ([[Vinnie Jones]])
* [[Jamie Madrox|Multiple Man]] ([[Eric Dane]])
* [[Phoenix Force (comics)|Dark Phoenix]] ([[Famke Janssen]])
* [[Callisto (comics)|Callisto]] ([[Dania Ramírez]])
* [[Quill (comics)|Kid Omega]] ([[Ken Leung]])
* [[Arclight (comics)|Arclight]] ([[Omahyra Mota]])
* [[Psylocke]] ([[Meiling Melançon]])
* [[Spike (comics)|Spike]] ([[Lance Gibson]])
* [[Phat (comics)|Phat]] (Via Saleaumua and Richard Yee)

* [[Glob Herman]] (Clayton Watmough)

During a raid upon a government convoy, [[Mystique (comics)|Mystique]]

sacrifices herself (and ultimately her powers) when she takes a cure
dart to the chest aimed at Magneto. Magneto deserts his most loyal
ally, revealing, "You're not one of us anymore." Commenting that it
was a shame to lose her "beauty", Magneto leads the remaining
Brotherhood members away. Later in the film, Mystique, as Raven
Darkholme (her human form), is seen providing the United States
government with information regarding the whereabouts of Magneto's
base of operations. With Multiple Man as the diversion for the army,
Magneto leads his Brotherhood to Alcatraz to prevent the production of
the cure. Among those seen taking part in the assault on Alcatraz are:

* A man who can teleport.
* A lava-skinned man who exhales a superheated cloud of ash and
cinders (named "Ash," according to the DVD commentary).
* A bald man who can re-grow his lost limbs.
* Mutants with minor distortions (such as glowing eyes and rhinoceros-
horn).
* Several mutants strong enough to leap over a large pile of debris.

The weaker Brotherhood Mutants were sent in first where they were hit
by cure darts incased in plastic. The stronger Brotherhood Mutants
later went in with some of them either killed or survived in their
battle with the X-Men.

===Glob Herman===
Glob Herman appears briefly in ''[[X-Men: The Last Stand]]''. He made
a cameo during the attack on [[Alcatraz]], getting shot by a cure dart

and changing from his glob form to a normal person.

===Juggernaut===
In ''[[X-Men: The Last Stand]]'', Juggernaut, whose real name in the
comics, is Cain Marko (played by [[Vinnie Jones]]), serves as one of
[[Magneto (comics)|Magneto]]'s Brotherhood Alliance army. In this

version, he is a superstrong and fast mutant with no explicit

connection to [[Professor X|Charles Xavier]]. This is a far cry from

who he is in the comics. The comic book version of Juggernaut is in
fact not a mutant, but rather is mystically empowered by the
[[Cyttorak]] crystal whom he found on during his time in the Army with
his step-brother, who is in fact Charles Xavier. One other deviation
from the comic book is the level of power he holds. In the movie, he
is successfully held with thick metal bonds in the mobile prison he is
held in, where, in the comic book, he is a class 100+ strength level
mutant (Meaning he can lift upwards of 100 tons and has been known to

hold his own fighting the [[Hulk (comics)]]) and could have easily
escaped. [[Vinnie Jones]], who played the Juggernaut, has said he

would like to reprise his role in a spin-off, as he felt there was too
little time in ''[[X-Men: The Last Stand]]'' to imbue the character
with depth. Jones also suggests that Juggernaut's feelings towards
humanity and mutant-kind are neutral, but he is fighting for Magneto
because Magneto got to him first. He also used the now famous

catchphrase created by an [[#internet parody|internet parody]], "I'm
the Juggernaut, bitch!"<ref>{{cite news | author = Shawn Adler | title

===Magneto===

Magneto was played by two-time Academy Award-nominee Sir [[Ian

McKellen]] in the movie ''[[X-Men (film)|X-Men]]'' and its sequels,
''[[X2 (film)|X2]]'' and ''[[X-Men: The Last Stand]]''. While in the

first and third films, he is the main villain, he is an anti-hero/
supporting protagonist in the second film. In all of these films, he

wishes for mutant prosperity (or as [[Cyclops (comics)|Cyclops]] put

it, superiority), but is not above battling the X-Men or killing
innocents to do so. In the comics, his birth name was Max Eisenhardt.
but was later changed to avoid prosecution early in his youth to Eric
Lensherr, which is his movie version name.

In the X-Men films Magneto's resistance to mental attack does not stem
from his own natural powers but is technological in nature; his helmet
contains some kind of a psychic shielding component, able to
completely negate both the telepathic abilities of Charles Xavier (as

shown in ''X-Men''), and also the illusion-casting abilities of Jason
in ''X2''. In these films Magneto is credited with helping Xavier to

build Cerebro; it would seem that in the process of building a machine
designed to amplify telepathy, Magneto learned enough to develop a
means of shielding himself from it.

====''X-Men'' (film)====

At the start of the film, a preteen Magneto was separated from his
parents by Nazi soldiers, and it was during this moment that his
powers begin to manifest (twisting open a metal fence separating him
and his parents). In the present time, Magneto attempts to mutate the
world leaders with a high-tech machine, though he is unaware of its
lethality (nor did he expect the machine to nearly kill him). Little
did he know that the machine would cause humans to be killed by losing
their molecular structure (as seen in Senator Robert Kelly). Even when

warned of the dangers of the machine by [[Jean Grey]] and [[Storm
(Marvel Comics)|Storm]], Magneto does not believe them. The X-Men foil

his plans and he is locked up in a plastic prison.

====''X2: X-Men United''====

In the second film, he escapes from prison with some help from
Mystique (who had injected a suspension of iron particles into a
security guard's bloodstream, so when he came to work the next day,
Magneto was able to leech the iron from his body, killing the guard,
and use it as a weapon and a means of escape) and makes a temporary
alliance with the X-Men to defeat [[William Stryker]]'s plan to kill
all the mutants. Stryker has captured Xavier and builds his own
version of [[Cerebro]] at Alkali Lake. He uses his son Jason's
illusion powers to, for lack of a better term, hypnotize him into
making Xavier focus his amplified telepathy to kill all the mutants on
Earth. Magneto foils this plan and, after jury rigging the Cerebro
unit, instead has Xavier try to kill all the humans on Earth before
leaving the location in a helicopter. The X-Men intervene in time and

prevent Xavier from killing creating inadvertant [[genocide]].

====''X-Men: The Last Stand''====

In the third film, he has expanded the Brotherhood of Mutants and
recruited many mutants to join. After learning that a major company
has produced a cure for the mutant gene from a young mutant known as
Leech, he and his Brotherhood attack the facility as the X-Men defend

it. [[Wolverine (comics)|Wolverine]] and [[Beast (comics)|Beast]] work

together and inject Magneto with the "cure," which strips him of his
powers. In the final scene, he extends his hand toward a chess piece
and is able to move it a tiny bit, suggesting that the cure may not be
permanent and/or may not have rendered him completely powerless. At
one point in the film, after Xavier's apparent demise, Magneto shows
genuine grief over his foe's death, speaking severely to Pyro when the
latter states that he would have killed Xavier himself had Magneto
asked it of him ("Charles Xavier did more for mutants than you'll ever
know. My single greatest regret is that he had to die for our dream to
live.").

===Mastermind===
*In the film ''[[X2 (film)|X2]]'', [[William Stryker]]'s son Jason
(portrayed by [[Michael Reid McKay]]) is loosely based on Mastermind.

In this interpretation, he was once a student of Xavier's whose father
wanted him to be "cured". Because Xavier was unable, and in point of
fact, unwilling, to do this, Jason used his powers to take revenge on
his parents, driving his mother to suicide. Stryker subsequently had
him lobotomized so he would only obey his orders, and used him in his
plan to eliminate the mutant race. Jason appears as a crippled,
wheelchair bound man, with atrophied muscle, a flaccid face and watery
eyes. The lobotomy deprived him of free will and left him paralyzed,
but his illusionary powers are still active, and he's skilled enough
in their use to keep a hold on Xavier (whose telepathy was initially
negated by an electronic helmet, allowing Jason to gain access). His
father extracts his spinal fluid and uses it to control his mutant
minions. Under his father's orders, he tricks Xavier into using a
modified copy of [[Cerebro]] to find all mutants and send telepathic

screams that could kill them. [[Magneto (comics)|Magneto]] temporarily
ended the illusion and [[Mystique (comics)|Mystique]], disguised as
Stryker, had him target all humans instead. [[Storm (Marvel Comics)|

Storm]] breaks into Cerebro and starts a blizzard to freeze him and
end the illusion. Shortly afterwards, the dam collapsed and the second
Cerebro was destroyed, presumably killing Jason in the process.

However, he survives and later became the main antagonist in ''[[X-

Men: The Official Game]]''.

*In ''[[X-Men Origins: Wolverine]]'', the prequel to the X-Men

trilogy, Jason is kept in ice by his father.

===Multiple Man===
* In the film ''[[X2 (film)|X2]]'', his name appears on a list of

names Mystique scrolls through on Stryker's computer while looking for

Magneto's file. In the novelization of ''[[X2 (film)|X2]]'', Jamie has

an expanded role as a student living at Xavier's, and has a

relationship with [[Siryn]], who often unintentionally causes him to

create duplicates of himself.
* ''[[X-Men: The Last Stand]]'' features James Madrox/Multiple Man,

who is recruited into the [[Brotherhood of Mutants]]. Played by [[Eric
Dane]], the character is an ex-bank robber, having robbed seven banks

simultaneously. In one scene, he and his dupes serve as a decoy for
Magneto's Brotherhood, appearing to the authorities to be the
Brotherhood on a satellite image, while the real Brotherhood escapes.
He is presumably rearrested by U.S. Army troops after the ruse is
discovered.

===Mystique===
In the movies ''[[X-Men (film)|X-Men]]'', ''[[X2 (film)|X2: X-Men
United]]'', and ''[[X-Men: The Last Stand]]'', Mystique is played by

[[Rebecca Romijn]] and, unlike her comic book incarnation, is a member

of Magneto's [[Brotherhood of Mutants]].

* In the first movie, Mystique impersonates [[Henry Peter Gyrich|Henry
Gyrich]], aide to Senator Kelly, as part of a plan to kidnap Kelly and

turn him into a mutant, thereby ending his support of the

[[Registration acts (comics)#Mutant Registration Act|Mutant
Registration Act]]. However, Magneto's mutation machine causes Senator

Kelly to die, so she, instead, impersonates Kelly, taking over his
senatorial duties and ultimately withdraws his support of the bill. In

''X-Men'', Mystique has an extended fight with Wolverine. Although

Wolverine possesses greater physical strength, Mystique ultimately
outwits him in the battle, and slowly gets the better of him with
superior speed, dexterity and sophisticated, acrobatic fighting style.
She then leaves by climbing upside down up a pipe. She later reappears
as Storm and approaches Logan, making a critical overestimation of her
cunning. His acute sense of smell tells him who she really is and he
stabs her with his claws, apparently killing her (Notably, she has
yellow-green blood). She survives, however, and morphs into the form
of a fallen police officer. As a result, she is able to slip past the
police that descend on the building. At the end of the movie, she is
seen on TV, impersonating Senator Robert Kelly.

* In ''[[X2 (film)|X2]]'', her ongoing impersonation of Kelly helps

her learn from [[William Stryker]] that Magneto is in government
custody. Mystique then gains entry into Stryker's office by

impersonating Stryker's aide, [[Lady Deathstrike]], and thus gains

details about Magneto's [[plastic]] [[prison]] (including the name of
the guards) and also accesses several more of Stryker's plans (most
important of which are the plans to create a "Dark Cerebro"). She

frees [[Magneto (comics)|Magneto]] from prison by [[seducing]] a guard

and injecting a sufficient amount of [[iron]] suspended in a liquid
solution into his bloodstream for Magneto to leech from his system and
use as a weapon to free himself with when he comes to work the next
day. After helping Magneto escape from prison, she joins Magneto's
brief alliance with the X-Men. While camped in an unknown forest area,

Mystique attempts to seduce Wolverine in the guise of [[Jean Grey]].

She kisses him and shifts into Storm and then into Rogue, but upon
realizing that it is Mystique, he rejects her. Also, when he discovers
the marks of his claws from when he stabbed her in the previous movie,
she shifts back to her blue form, telling him "no one's left a scar
quite like you." She later impersonates Wolverine in order to gain
entry to the Alkali Lake base, pretending to surrender. While
infiltrating Alkali Lake Base she shows her dexterity and fighting
skill by defeating lots of soldiers and, managing to infiltrate the
main computer room, she discovers where the fake Cerebro is and where
the captive mutant children were being kept. Wolverine says "She's
good" to which Magneto replies "You have no idea". Implying that
Magneto is fond of Mystique and again hinting at her fighting prowess.

She is seen later escaping with Magneto and [[Pyro]].

* In ''[[X-Men: The Last Stand]]'', Mystique is captured by the

government. It is revealed that her name is Raven Darkholme. Magneto
comes to save her, but just before the guards are completely subdued,
one manages to fire a dart containing the new, supposedly permanent,

mutant "cure" bioengineered using the mutant [[Leech (comics)|

Leech]]'s DNA, at Magneto. She blocks the shot with her body, taking
the dart in his place, which suppresses her mutation and changes her
into a normal human (It is also relealed that Mystique, while she was
powered, must have used her powers to create clothing for herself out
of her own flesh since when she transformed into a human, she was
naked). Depowered, Magneto abandons her, stating "you're not one of us
anymore", adding wistfully, "it's such a shame. She was so beautiful."
Spurned, rejected and seeking some level or retribution, Mystique goes
to the government and gives the location of his base. Using satellite
heat signature imaging, the camp seems to normally populated. However,
when they raid the camp, they discover it was a ruse and distraction,

with Magneto filling the entire camp with duplicates of [[Jamie Madrox|
Multiple Man]], who reabsorbs his "dupes" and surrenders, while the

the rest of Magneto's mutant army is on their way to the Worthington
Industries plant on Alcatraz Island where the cure is made and Leech
lives.

===Phat===
Phat makes an appearance in the film ''[[X-Men: The Last Stand]]''.
Phat is played by two actors, [[Via Saleaumua]] and [[Richard Yee]],

as Phat in "large mode" and "small mode" respectively. The end credits
mention both Phats. He first appears at the community meeting.
Although it's unclear if he is a member of The Omegas, he joins
Magneto's cause and takes part in the Battle of Alcatraz. The DVD
release features a deleted scene in which Phat is frozen solid by

[[Iceman (comics)|Iceman]] and then shattered by [[Colossus (comics)|
Colossus]].

===Pyro===
* Pyro had a brief [[cameo appearance|cameo]] in ''[[X-Men (film)|X-
Men]]'', where he forms a fireball behind his back before [[Iceman
(comics)|Iceman]] freezes it with his powers. In this film and the two

following sequels, Pyro is portrayed as American teenager instead of
Australian.

* In the sequel, ''[[X2 (film)|X2: X-Men United]]'', Pyro was played

by [[Aaron Stanford]] and his role was greatly expanded. Pyro is named
'''John Allerdyce''' (instead of St. John), and is a student at
Professor X's school and a friend of Iceman and Rogue. Instead of a

flamethrower, this version of Pyro keeps a small [[Zippo|Zippo

lighter]] in his pocket at all times to provide him his fire. Midway

through ''X2'' when the three of them, with [[Wolverine (comics)|
Wolverine]], escape an attack on the school and retreat to Drake's
home in suburban [[Boston, Massachusetts|Boston]], Pyro is shown

examining a series of Drake family photos with an expression of envy;
the commentary hints that this is because he comes from a
dysfunctional home. After Wolverine is shot in the head and rendered
temporarily unconscious by a policeman, Pyro flies into a rage and

fends off several policemen. [[Rogue (comics)|Rogue]] sees that Pyro

is endangering the lives of the officers and grabs his ankle, thereby
stealing his powers, stunning him and neutralizing the flames. The
group is then rescued by other X-Men in the Blackbird, the X-Men's
[[VTOL]] plane. Ultimately, Pyro is tempted away from Xavier's

influence by [[Magneto (comics)|Magneto]], who observes the young

man's ambition and the strength of his powers. Pyro follows and joins

Magneto and the shapeshifting mutant [[Mystique (comics)|Mystique]] as

they escape Alkali Lake before it is destroyed by flooding from a
compromised nearby dam; the remaining X-Men note Pyro's defection, but
are too occupied with their own escape to stop it.

* Pyro subsequently appears in ''[[X-Men: The Last Stand]]'' as a
member of Magneto's Brotherhood of Mutants. In this film, Pyro wears a

flame-generating device on his right wrist, allowing him to produce

fire (of which he can control, but not create) for combat by pushing a
button on his palm with his fingers. Alongside Magneto's army, he
attacks the Worthington Industries facility that provides the cure for
mutants and houses the Mutant, Leech, from who the cure is made with
the intent of killing the boy so no more cure can be produced. In the
final battle, he fights Iceman and briefly gains the upper hand;
however, Iceman realizes a new level to his mutation, turns himself
into solid ice and, now with an increase in powers, freezes Pyro's
hands, extinguishing his fire. Iceman then headbutts Pyro, knocking
him out. Pyro's fate is unknown, although the novelization describes
Iceman carrying him to safety as the facility around them collapses.
His loyalty to Magneto is also firmly established, and he remarks that
if Magneto had asked it of him, he would have killed Professor Xavier.

===Sabretooth===
Sabretooth was portrayed by [[Tyler Mane]] in the ''[[X-Men (film)|X-
Men]]'' motion picture released in 2000, but was blown through the
head of the [[Statue of Liberty]] by [[Cyclops (comics)|Cyclops]]

following a brief battle with Wolverine, and has not been seen in
either of the sequels. According to the [[novelization]] of the film

''[[X2 (film)|X2]]'' and the comic book prequel tie-in, Sabretooth

survived the incident, was the subject of an international manhunt,
and had a brief confrontation with Logan to talk about their shared

history. He was later defeated by [[Wolverine (comics)|Wolverine]] in
''[[X-Men: The Official Game]]'', which was a video game tie-in for
''[[X-Men: The Last Stand]]''.

In February 2008, [[20th Century Fox]] announced [[Liev Schreiber]]
was to portray Sabretooth in the film ''[[X-Men Origins:

Wolverine]]'', scheduled for release May 1, 2009. The film depicts

Victor Creed as the brother of James Howlett (Wolverine) and that they

fought together as Canadian mercenaries in the [[American Civil War]],
[[World War I]], [[World War II]] and the [[Vietnam War]].<ref>{{cite
news|author=Helen O'Hara|title=Weapon X|work=[[Empire (magazine)|
Empire]]|date=January 2009|pages=85–90}}</ref> Victor grows

increasingly violent and uncontrolled as time passes, while Logan
becomes more disillusioned with the violence they involve themselves
in. During the Vietnam War he attempts to rape a young Vietnamese
woman and then brutally attacks the soldiers who try to stop him,
leading to both he and James being placed in front of a firing squad.
They survive the firing squad and are subsuquently reimprisoned, but

are eventually asked to join [[William Stryker|Major Stryker]]'s
[[Team X (comics)|all-mutant team]], a mutant, Black-Ops team working

for the government. After an undetermined time, James leaves the team
when he witnesses Stryker's willingness to kill innocent civilians to
further his own goals, however, Victor does not go with him. In James'
absence, Victor and Stryker subsequently work together to capture
various mutants so he can use their DNA to make the ultimate soldier.
Later, Stryker tracks Logan down and tricks Logan into agreeing to
have adamantium bonded to his skeleton by claiming that Victor had

gone rogue and had killed the [[Silver Fox|woman]] he loved. Despite

the animosity between the two of them (made even worse when Stryker
reveals that, even though he and Victor had a deal where Victor would
be allowed to go through the same process James did, he cannot merge
adamantium to his skeleton because it would kill him), they fight
together to defeat 'Weapon XI', who is actually a surgically enhanced

Wade Wilson AKA [[Deadpool]], Victor saying his reason being that only

HE gets to kill Wolverine, subsequently departing when the battle is
over. This version of Victor possesses enhanced strength and speed,
heightened senses, and razor-sharp nails that can extend or retract at
will, allowing him to slice through sustances as hard as steel, climb
sheer surfaces and adds extra power to his grip.

===Spike===
In the movie ''[[X-Men: The Last Stand]]'', a "Spike" character
portrayed by [[Lance Gibson]] appeared in a battle with [[Wolverine
(comics)|Wolverine]], where he was depicted with the ability to

extrude bony spikes from his flesh and hurl them with great speed and
force. He and Wolverine both stab each other, but where Wolverine
survives being stabbed repeatedly, Spike doesn't and dies impaled on
Wolverines claws.

===Toad===
* Toad appeared as a character in the 2000 [[film|movie]] ''[[X-Men
(film)|X-Men]]'', played by [[Ray Park]]. He is a member of Magneto's

Brotherhood and possesses enhanced leaping capability and acrobatic
speed, agility, dexterity, reflexes, coordination, balance, a sticky

prehensile {{convert|13|ft|m|adj=on}} tongue, and the ability to spit

an acidic mucus that hardens almost instantly which he uses to blind
or suffocate his opponents. He has a different personality from the
comic incarnation, confident and comical, where, in the comics, he is
often viewed as subservient, bumbling, barely tolerated and acts just
like his name, like a toady. He battles Storm, Cyclops and Jean Grey

all at once in the battle in the [[Statue of Liberty]], he starts by

locking Cyclops in a display case, sends Storm to the second floor and
spits slime on Jean Grey as she stops him in mid-air. Storm revives to
stop Toad from harming Jean but is quickly subdued and is knocked down
an elevator shaft. Storm flies up again and blows Toad out of the
statue, his tongue latching onto a support beam to stay alive.
However, Storm strikes his tongue with a lightning bolt and
electrifies Toad.

* Toad was included in an early version of the script of ''[[X2 (film)|
X2]]'', where he dueled off against Nightcrawler in an room in William

Stryker's underground base. However, he was removed from the script.

==Humans==
===John and Elaine Grey===

John and Elanie Grey appears in the opening scene of ''[[X-Men: The

Last Stand]]''. In the film John refers to Jean Grey's abilities as an

"illness." John and Elaine are portrayed by [[Adrian Hough]] and
[[Desiree Zurowski]] respectively.

===Henry Peter Gyrich===
Henry Peter Gyrich appears in ''[[X-Men (film)|X-Men]]'' portrayed by
[[Matthew Sharp]]. Henry appears as an assistant to [[Senator Kelly]].
He is impersonated by [[Mystique (comics)|Mystique]], and the real
Gyrich was implied to have been killed by [[Sabertooth (comics)|
Sabertooth]].

===Heather Hudson===
In ''[[X-Men Origins: Wolverine]]'', Wolverine stumbles upon an

elderly woman, by the name of Heather Hudson (played by [[Julia

Blake]]), and her husband Travis after the [[Weapon X]] experiment. In

the film, they see Wolverine sneaking into their barn, and Heather
notices this. They treat him kindly, then in the next morning, while

treating both of them juice, she is shot by a faraway sniper ([[David
North (comics)|Agent Zero]]), along with Travis. In the comics,

Heather Hudson was the one who found Wolverine after he first escaped
from the Weapon X program, stumbling, an amnesiac, through the
Canadian wilderness and then nursed him back to health. Later, after
her husband's death, James Hudson, the first [[Guardian (Marvel

Comics)]], she took up the mantle to be the second Guardian, but later

changed her name to [[Vindicator (comics)]] and became the leader of

the Canadian super-team, [[Alpha Flight]].

===Robert Kelly===
In ''[[X-Men (film)|X-Men]]'', Senator Kelly (played by [[Bruce
Davison]]) is staunchly anti-mutant, arguing that they are a danger to

"normal" people and should be locked away. He is kidnapped by
Magneto's minion Mystique and is subjected to a process that
transforms him into a mutant. Unbeknownst to Magneto, the process is
ultimately fatal, with his body rejecting the process, and Kelly (now
in a malleable jellyfish-like form who has power to stretch and be
easily squished if pressure is applied) dies in the custody of the X-
Men. Prior to his death, he learns to accept at the very least "some"

Mutants and is comforted by [[Storm]]. He is subsequently impersonated
by [[Mystique (comics)|Mystique]] at the end of the film and in ''[[X2
(film)|X2]]''. In a special feature on the ''X-Men'' DVD, his young

daughter is revealed as a mutant on "live TV" after a Senate hearing
on mutant regulation. No mention of this is made in the film.

===Thomas Logan===
In the 2009 movie ''[[X-Men Origins: Wolverine]]'', Thomas Logan
appears in the beginning, and he is confirmed to be [[Sabretooth
(comics)|Sabertooth]]'s father and [[Wolverine (comics)|Wolverine]]'s

biological father. He is credited as "Thomas Logan", played by [[Aaron

Jeffery]].

===Moria MacTaggert===

Moira is played by [[Olivia Williams]] in brief appearances in the

feature film ''[[X-Men: The Last Stand]]''. She appears on a video

talking about mutant ethics and what is considered right and wrong,
such as whether it would be right to transfer the mind of a dying
father of four into the body of a man born with no higher brain

functions. She is subsequently seated next to [[Beast (comics)|Beast]]
at the memorial service. [[Post-credits scene|After the film's ending
credits]], she appears again for a brief scene, where it appears that

Xavier has transferred his mind into the body of the patient,
following his physical body being disintegrated by the [[Phoenix

(comics)|Phoenix]] persona that inhabits [[Jean Grey]]. In the

director's commentary for the movie's DVD, it is revealed that this
patient is, in fact, the identical twin of Charles Xavier, whose mind
had been destroyed before birth by the power of Charles' mutation.
Thus it is that Charles' voice is used and Moira instantly recognizes
him.

===Kavita Rao===
In the 2006 movie ''[[X-Men: The Last Stand]]'', Kavita Rao was played
by Iranian actress [[Shohreh Aghdashloo]]. This is despite claims made

by Aghdashloo in an interview with ''[[Entertainment

Weekly]]'' (August 26, 2005) that she would be playing [[Cecilia Reyes|
Dr. Cecilia Reyes]]. Raph Winter, producer of all three movies,

subsequently stated that Aghdashloo would be playing Rao. In the film,
Rao helps with the invention of the mutant cure, which she created

with the [[DNA]] of [[Leech (comics)|Leech]]. Toward the end of the

movie, she (alongside Dr. Worthington) is targeted by a trio of

Omegas. Worthington is dragged off. [[Quill (comics)|Quill]] grabs her

in a bear hug, says everything will be all right and pierces her with
his bodily spikes.

===William Stryker===
====''X2''====
In ''[[X2 (film)|X2]]'', Stryker is the main antagonist of the film
and is played by [[Brian Cox]]. He is a military scientist and has

====''X-Men Origins: Wolverine''====
Stryker is in the film ''[[X-Men Origins: Wolverine]]'', set roughly
twenty years before ''[[X-Men (film)|X-Men]]'', portrayed by [[Danny
Huston]]. Huston liked the complex Stryker, who "both loves and hates

mutants because his son was a mutant and drove his wife to suicide. So
he understands what they're going through, but despises their
[destructive] force." He compared the character to a racehorse
breeder, who rears his mutant experiments like children but abandons
them when something goes wrong. In the film, Stryker starts off as a
Major trying to recruit [[Victor Creed]] and [[James Howlett]] to join

[[Weapon X]]. Stryker tries to learn where a mysterious rock came

from. Stryker tells Creed to execute the witnesses after what James
had seen he left. Through the years Stryker begins working with Creed
and using [[Wade Wilson]] as Weapon XI. He tells Creed to kill all the
other members of the team and to have Logan's girlfriend Kayla

([[Silver Fox]]) - an agent of Stryker's keeping an eye on Logan- fake
her death.

After Logan is left for dead by Victor, Col. Stryker persuades Logan

to become [[Wolverine (comics)|Wolverine]]. The process is successful,

and Stryker wants to use Logan's DNA for the XI, but Logan hears this
and escapes. After General Munson tries to shut Weapon X down,
learning of Stryker's son and believing that he is too emotionally
close to the situation, Stryker kills him. Also Stryker kidnaps
mutants in order to pass their abilities into Weapon XI. The others
escape with Kayla and Logan while Logan and Victor battle Weapon XI.
Weapon XI is defeated, but Stryker shoots [[adamantium]] bullets in
Logan's head, causing [[amnesia]] as a result of the damage done to
his brain; although the physical injury can be healed from, the
memories themselves are apparently permanently gone. He points the gun
at Kayla but Kayla tells him by using her power of persuasion to walk
until his feet bleed and then keep walking, refusing to order him to
kill himself as that would make them no better than him. Stryker
unwillingly does so, and is arrested at the end of the movie by
military police in connection with General Munson's murder.

===Bolivar Trask===
[[Bill Duke]] portrays Trask in ''[[X-Men: The Last Stand]]''. Here,
he is the head of the [[Department of Homeland Security]], and has no

(presumed) connection to the Sentinels. However, he does appear
connected with the ongoing adaptation of human weapons and tactics to
mutant threats. It is also notable that in the comics, Trask is of a

[[Caucasian race|Caucasian]] ethnic background while the actor who
portrays him in ''[[X-Men: The Last Stand]]'' ([[Bill Duke]]) is
[[African American]].

==Morlocks==
The [[Morlocks (comics)|Morlocks]] appear in ''[[X-Men: The Last
Stand]]'', though never mentioned by that name. Instead, they are
referred to as '''The Omegas'''. [[Callisto (comics)|Callisto]] is
still the leader (with different powers - [[Caliban (comics)|Caliban's
mutant sensory ability]], and [[Quicksilver (comics)|Quicksilver's
speed]]), but other members (including [[Quill (comics)|Quill]],
[[Arclight (comics)|Arclight]], and [[Psylocke]]) are pulled from
other parts of the X-Men universe. [[Leech (comics)|Leech]] also

appears in the film, with no apparent connection to the Morlocks.

===Arclight===

Arclight appeared in the 2006 motion picture ''[[X-Men: The Last

Stand]]'' played by [[Dominican Republic|Dominican]] fashion [[Model
(person)|model]] and [[actress]] [[Omahyra Mota]]. Arclight had no

lines in the film. In the movie, her shockwave-based superpowers are
more refined than in the comic book: her shockwaves project in an
outward fashion and she can target specific materials. She is a member

of the Omegas and was killed along with [[Quill (comics)|Kid Omega]]
and [[Psylocke]] by [[Dark Phoenix Saga|Dark Phoenix]]'s
disintegration wave.

===Callisto===
[[Dania Ramirez]] portrays Callisto in ''[[X-Men: The Last Stand]]''.

She was the leader of the Omegas and then joins Magneto's

[[Brotherhood of Mutants]]. In place of an eye-patch and scars, this

version of Callisto is beautiful and still heavily tattooed, as well
as being Latino instead of Caucasion. She also seems to harbor a
dislike towards Storm, which was applauded by fans since she and Storm
were intially enemies and had a very well known duel over leadership

of the [[Morlocks]], of which Storm won, dethroning Callisto, in the

comics. In the movie, Storm, in two different battles, was continually

battered by Calliso's super-speed punches and unable to land many of

her own, until she was ultimately electrocuted by Storm at the end of

their climactic battle on [[Alcatraz Island|Alcatraz]].

In the film version, Callisto possessed superhuman speed and the
ability to sense the powers and locations of other mutants, the latter

power which, in the comics, belongs to her team-mate [[Caliban
(comics)|Caliban]]. Also, in the comics, she does not have super-speed

powers, but, instead, has heightened senses and has been known to
display increased agility and strength, but, while still above that of
a normal human, only to a relatively minor degree. She is also an
expert tracker, aided by her super-senses, which is a correlation
between the film and the comic book version.

According to the book adaptation of the movie, she was the leader of

the [[Marauders (comics)|Marauders]], an all-mutant gang before

joining Magneto's Brotherhood of Mutants. According to a novelty card
game, Callisto is said to have been born in the Dominican Republic and
immigrated to Washington Heights New York as an infant, where she
honed her skills as a fighter and tracker. In the book she does not
possess superhuman speed.

===Leech===
Leech appears in ''[[X-Men: The Last Stand]]'', played by [[Cameron
Bright]]. Leech (named '''Jimmy''' in the film, but code named Leech

on a file handed to Beast) plays a pivotal role in the film as the
source of a "cure" for the "mutant x-gene." He is still a child but
has no outward physical mutations (Which is quite different from his
Comic Book version where he is a small boy with an oversized hideous,
almost alien like head and yellow, craggly skin. In the comics, it was
his appearance that made him an outcast and had to go into hiding).
His powers are involuntary, only activated in proximity and removes
all the effects of mutant genes, including physical mutations such as

[[Beast (comics)|Hank McCoy]]'s blue fur. When McCoy reaches out to

shake Jimmy's hand, his own hand loses its furry blue appearance; the
mutation returns once he leaves Leech's presence.

[[Magneto (comics)|Magneto]] plans to kill Jimmy, who is being kept at
[[Alcatraz]], thus destroying the mutant cure (which was made using

his DNA and injecting the cure into the mutant, nullifying the
mutation from the inside-out) and preserving the mutant species.
Magneto and his [[Brotherhood of Mutants]] attack the facility, which

is defended by federal troops and the X-Men. [[Juggernaut (comics)|

Juggernaut]] is sent to find Jimmy and [[Kitty Pryde]] races to save
him. When Pryde discovers that she is unable to phase through walls
with Jimmy, she allows Juggernaut to charge at them but pulls Jimmy
out of the way, allowing Juggernaut to slam into the wall, butnstead
of breaking through, he knocks himsef unconscious due to Jimmy's power
cancelling out his unstoppable motion and degree of invulnerability.
Later, Jimmy is seen evacuating Alcatraz Island with Pryde and [[Bobby

Drake]].

At the end of the film, Jimmy is seen as a member of the Xavier's

School and received by the new leader, [[Storm (Marvel Comics)|
Storm]]. At the end scene Magneto seems to use his powers by slightly

nudging a metallic chess piece, hinting that the cure made from
Jimmy's DNA might not be permanent.

===Psylocke===
In the film ''[[X2 (film)|X2: X-Men United]]'', her name appears on a

list of names Mystique scrolls through on Stryker's computer while

looking for Magneto's file, and in the X2 [[novelization]], Psylocke

made a cameo as one of the mutants affected by Dark Cerebro. In it,
she is in [[Vatican City]] during a fashion show and is seen waking up
from her coma —induced by Dark Cerebro— when the machine begins
affecting humans. She uses her telepathy to sense what is going on.

Psylocke appears in the [[feature film]] ''[[X-Men: The Last

Stand]]'', played by actress [[Meiling Melançon]]. In the film, she

fights against the X-Men as a member of the Brotherhood. During an

interview with ''[[Wizard (magazine)|Wizard]]'' magazine, Melançon
said that in ''X3'', Psylocke has the power to turn into shadows and

create psi-blades. However, in the film, she doesn't appear to create
psi-blades, but she appears out of nowhere. There were, however, some
very faint shadows visible when she did so. In the film, Psylocke is

killed alongside [[Arclight (comics)|Arclight]] and a character based
on [[Quill (comics)|Quill]] (named "Kid Omega" in the credits) by the

Dark Phoenix's disintegration wave. The film's novelization makes no
mention of what happens to Psylocke, Kid Omega, and Arclight after
their unsuccessful attempt to kill Angel's father. According to

scriptwriter [[Zak Penn]], the character played by Melançon was not

named as Psylocke in the original script. In a Q&A on thexverse.com,
he claimed that: "There was some switching of character names later in
production, and I'm not exactly sure how Psylocke got thrown into the

mix."{{Citation needed|date=November 2008}} On the DVD Commentary of

the film it was stated by Brett Ratner that the character played by
[[Meiling Melançon]] is Psylocke.

===Quill===

A character resembling Quill appears as a member of The Omegas in the

film ''[[X-Men: The Last Stand]]'', played by [[Ken Leung]] and listed
in the screen credits as "[[Quentin Quire|Kid Omega]]". He kills Dr.

[[Kavita Rao]] and almost kills Dr. Worthington, whose son [[Warren

Worthington III|Warren]] saves him. By the end, he is killed by [[Jean
Grey|Phoenix]], alongside fellow Omegas [[Psylocke]] and [[Arclight
(comics)|Arclight]]. He is referred to as "Quill" in the Writer/
Director Commentary.

==Team X==
In ''[[X-Men Origins: Wolverine]]'', the team is lead by [[William
Stryker|Col. William Stryker]], and consists of [[Wolverine (comics)|
Wolverine]], [[Sabretooth (comics)|Sabretooth]], [[Blob (comics)|
Blob]], [[Kestrel (Marvel Comics)|Kestrel]], [[Deadpool (comics)|
Deadpool]], [[Chris Bradley|Bolt]], and [[David North (comics)|Agent
Zero]].

Only Sabretooth, Agent Zero, and (possibly) Deadpool remain faithful
to Stryker (though it's implied that Deadpool was brainwashed/
electronically bound to Stryker). Sabretooth kills off Bradley.

Stryker wishes to let Wolverine rejoin him. After [[Silver Fox|

Wolverine's girlfriend]] is apparently killed by Sabretooth, Wolverine
agrees to participate in a Weapon X procedure. Adamantium is put into
his skeleton, and in a fit of rage, Wolverine escapes. Agent Zero
attacks him, but is killed by Wolverine in return. Wolverine finds

Kestrel and Blob, and Kestrel leads him to [[Gambit (comics)|Remy
LeBeau]], a former captive of Stryker. LeBeau mistakenly thinks

Wolverine was sent to recapture him, so LeBeau attacks him, blasting
him into an alley where he finds out that Sabretooth has killed
Wraith. Wolverine fights Sabretooth and nearly kills him, but Gambit
intervenes, allowing Sabretooth to escape. After Wolverine gains
LeBeau's trust, LeBeau takes him to Stryker's base, where Wolverine
and (still alive) Silver Fox help mutants escape. Sabretooth and
Wolverine then fight Weapon XI, a bald, pale Wade Wilson who now
possesses multiple powers, and ultimately defeat and kill him. Silver
Fox is fatally shot while helping other captured mutants escape.

Stryker, Wolverine and Sabretooth are the only Team X members
confirmed left alive. However a scene at the end of the credits shows
that Deadpool is alive too. Blob may also be alive as he is not seen
getting killed, though his death is implied in a conversation between
Wraith and Sabretooth.

===Agent Zero===

Agent Zero appears in the film ''[[X-Men Origins: Wolverine]]'' as a

member of [[Team X (comics)|Team X]] played by [[Daniel Henney]]<ref>
{{cite news | title = Dominic Monaghan Zaps To "Wolverine" | publisher
= Dark Horizons | date = 2008-02-22 | url = http://www.darkhorizons.com/news08/080222h.php
| accessdate=2000-02-22}}</ref>. He does not possess the ability to

absorb kinetic energy but is a lethal marksman and Stryker's second in

command. He and [[Sabretooth (comics)|Victor Creed]] are the only ones

from Team X that stayed faithful to Stryker. When Wolverine breaks out
from the Weapon X facility, Zero pursues him, to an old barn belonging
to a elderly couple who have taken Wolverine in. He kills them and
tries escaping in a helicopter and then his helicopter crashes. After
mocking Wolverine about how "good-innocent people die around him"
Wolverine ignites a trail of fuel with his claws that causes the
helicopter to explode, killing Zero who is trapped inside. This
version of the character is depicted as being exceptionally ruthless -
killing several innocent civilians over the course of the film in
order to complete his mission. His powers in the film are enhanced
strength, speed, agility and accuracy with firearms. The character is
repeatedly referred to as Zero, rather than using his given name.

However, in the [[X-Men Origins: Wolverine (video game)|video game

adaptation]] of the film, his name is given as David Nord.

===Blob===

* The Blob was originally supposed to appear in the first ''[[X-Men

(film)|X-Men]]'' movie, but didn't make it off the concept page. A
hidden [[Easter egg (virtual)|easter egg]] on the first ''X-Men'' DVD
release (not ''X-Men 1.5'') shows concept art of the Blob & Beast. In
the 2003 film ''[[X2 (film)|X2: X-Men United]]'', the name "Dukes,
Fred" appears on a list of mutants which [[Mystique (comics)|

Mystique]] scrolls through on Stryker's computer while looking for
Magneto's file.

* The Blob is played by [[Kevin Durand]] in the film ''[[X-Men

Origins: Wolverine]]''.<ref>[http://www.superherohype.com/news/
topnews.php?id=6839 Kevin Durand as the Blob]</ref> Fred Dukes was
once part of [[Team X (comics)|Team X]], composed of him, [[Wolverine
(comics)|James Howlett]], [[Sabretooth (comics)|Victor Creed]],
[[William Stryker]], [[David North (comics)|David North]], [[Chris
Bradley]], [[Kestrel (Marvel Comics)|John Wraith]] and [[Deadpool
(comics)|Wade Wilson]]. After the team disbands, according to Wraith,

the once-muscular and formidable soldier developed an eating disorder
and easily became obese, and Wraith is currently training him to be a
boxer. Wraith warns Logan not to make fun of his weight. However, when
Logan is demanding the location of Victor Creed, he calls him, "Bub."
Dukes, however, thinks that he called him "blob" and starts fighting
with him. At first Dukes gains the upper hand, but is knocked out by
headbutting Logan, whose skeleton had recently been reinforced with
adamantium. Dukes reveals that Creed and Stryker are working together,
capturing mutants and experimenting on them, having allegedly learned
the information from Agent Zero. Dukes does not know the location of
Stryker's base, but says that there is an escaped mutant named

[[Gambit (comics)|Remy LeBeau]] who would. It's implied in a

conversation between Sabretooth and John Wraith that Sabretooth

learned their whereabouts from Dukes back in [[Las Vegas, Nevada|Las
Vegas]], hinting he may have killed Dukes as well.

===Bolt===
[[Dominic Monaghan]] plays Chris Bradley/Bolt in the 2009 film ''[[X-
Men Origins: Wolverine]]''. At first, it was reported he was going to
play [[Beak (comics)|Barnell Bohusk]] in the movie, but it was later
revealed he was going to play Bolt.<ref>[http://xmenfilms.net/blog/?
p=3886]</ref> Bradley is not mentored by David North, but is his
teammate. Bradley is a part of [[Team X (comics)|Team X]], alongside
[[Wolverine (comics)|James Howlett]], [[Sabretooth (comics)|Victor
Creed]], [[David North (comics)|Agent Zero]], [[Blob (comics)|Fred
Dukes]], [[Kestrel (Marvel Comics)|John Wraith]] and [[Deadpool
(comics)|Wade Wilson]], and is led by Maj. [[William Stryker]]. He has

the ability to control anything electric. Once the team disbanded,
Bradley began doing shows at fairs, playing tricks on people using a
light bulb. He then is visited by Creed, who kills him after he states
he always thought it would be Wade who would do the job. His power was
then given to Deadpool to the extent that Stryker could control him
via burst transmissions from a computer.

===Deadpool/Weapon XI===
Deadpool appears in the film ''[[X-Men Origins: Wolverine]]'', played
by [[Ryan Reynolds]].<ref>{{cite news | author=Marc Graser |

'Wolverine' | publisher=[[Variety (magazine)|''Variety'']] |
date=2008-02-19 | accessdate=2008-02-20}}</ref> Wade Wilson appears as

a highly skilled, wisecracking mercenary. However, he does not

initially go by the name Deadpool. [[William Stryker|Colonel William

Stryker]] claims that he would be the perfect soldier if he could keep
his mouth shut. Later in the film, Sabretooth claims that Wade was
killed off screen. Wade had, however, actually been traformed into
"Weapon XI" a.k.a. the Deadpool (portrayed by both Reynolds and

[[Scott Adkins]]). He possesses other mutants' powers, including
[[Wolverine (comics)|Wolverine]]'s healing factor, [[Cyclops (comics)|
Scott Summers]]' optic blasts, [[Kestrel (Marvel Comics)|John

Wraith]]'s teleportation power and Bradley's technopathy. He also
features two long adamantium blades extending from his arms. Under the
remote control of Stryker, Deadpool begins fighting Wolverine, and
seems to be overpowering him, until Sabretooth returns to assist his
brother. Wolverine then decapitates Deadpool. In some copies of the
theatrical release, a [[post-credits scene]] was shown in which
Deadpool's hand is seen reaching for his severed head, which returns

to life.<!--Do not add info on "shushing" or breaking the fourth wall--

===Kestrel===

John Wraith is played in the 2009 film ''[[X-Men Origins:

Wolverine]]'' by [[Will.i.am]] of the [[Black Eyed Peas]].<ref>[http://
www.variety.com/article/VR1117981136.html?categoryid=13&cs=1 Reynolds,

will.i.am join 'Wolverine' - Entertainment News, Film News, Media -

Variety<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> This is Will.i.am's film
debut. He used to be in Team X, also consisting of [[Wolverine
(comics)|James "Logan" Howlett]], [[Sabretooth (comics)|Victor
Creed]], [[Deadpool (comics)|Wade Wilson]], [[David North (comics)|
Agent Zero]], [[Chris Bradley]], and [[Blob (comics)|Fred Dukes]],
under the leadership of [[William Stryker]]. Wraith quits the team due

to morallity issues (he did not like the killing they did) and became
a boxing manager. When Howlett arrives for information about Stryker's
base, he tells him he should ask Dukes, who is now obese and is boxing
to keep in shape. Dukes gives him some information, and tells him he

should find [[Gambit (comics)|Remy LeBeau]], an escaped captive.

Wraith goes with Wolverine which leads them to a casino in Louisiana.
Wraith guards the back, only to see Creed. Knowing that he killed
Bradley, they battle in the street with Wraith using his ability to
strike multiple times. However, Wraith eventually teleports right
into Creed's outstretched claw, killing him. As he dies, Creed
remarks that he was "always predictable."

===Silver Fox===

Actress [[Lynn Collins]] plays Silver Fox in the 2009 film ''[[X-Men

Origins: Wolverine]]''. She is named '''Kayla Silverfox'''. Instead of

the accelerated healing factor that Silver Fox was originally given,
in the movie she possesses a tactile mind control ability where she
can control the mind of anyone she touches, although it appears that
Logan and Victor Creed are immune to her ability due to their healing
factors. She is responsible for Logan's choice of "Wolverine" as his
alias, the name chosen in reference to a story she told him about a
spirit who was tricked into being parted forever from his lover the
Moon, the spirit- whose name translates as "Wolverine"- subsequently
forced to look at the Moon forever and never be with her again. She
also identifies [[Emma Frost]] as her sister.

==Other characters==
===Lady Deathstrike===

Yuriko Oyama/Deathstrike was portrayed by the actress [[Kelly Hu]] in

the film ''[[X2 (film)|X2: X-Men United]]'' released in [[2003 in film|
2003]]. In her film incarnation, she is not portrayed as a cyborg, but
as a brainwashed [[Mutant (Marvel Comics)|mutant]] with regenerative

abilities similar to those of Wolverine. This version of Deathstrike
also demonstrates superhuman strength in the film, throwing Wolverine
across a room with enough force to shatter concrete. The title of
"Lady" was not used in her name. In the film, she is [[William
Stryker]]'s assistant. She was also involved in the same government

program ([[Weapon X]], though not named as such) as Wolverine, giving

her adamantium claws that extend from the tip of her fingernails,
instead of from her knuckles. On Stryker's orders, she ambushed and

successfully captured both [[Cyclops (comics)|Cyclops]] and
[[Professor X]]avier. Although she is portrayed as a supervillainness

in the film, her actual orientation and origin are unclear because she

is under the effects of [[mind control]]. Wolverine disabled and

seemingly killed her in a fight by a fluid adamantium injection, in a
fight that takes place in the laboratory where Wolverine underwent his
own transformation. Kelly Hu wanted to reprise her role in the third
film, but after Bryan Singer left the project, she was no longer on
the project anymore. She wears a grey suit in the film for a period (a
look later used by Ultimate Lady Deathstrike) before wearing a leather
suit during the remainder of the film.

===Artie Maddicks===

A boy named Artie appears in a nonspeaking role in the second X-Men

film, ''[[X2 (film)|X2]]'', played by [[Bryce Hodgson]]; however, he
has a single line of dialogue in a deleted scene from ''X2''. This

character is never clearly identified as Artie Maddicks. His
appearance is normal aside from a blue, forked tongue, and he does not
demonstrate any powers in the film.

===Sentinals===

Sentinels appeared in an early draft of the first film where Henry
Peter Gyrich and Bolivar Trask attacked the X-Men with Sentinels, but
didn't make it off the concept page. Sentinels were set for inclusion

in the second ''X-Men'' film, ''[[X2 (film)|X2]]'', but they did not

appear onscreen (although Project Wideawake is mentioned on a computer
readout screen). Sketches for the film versions of the Sentinels
appear as extras on the ''X2'''s [[DVD]] release. The Sentinels'
height wasn't specified, but the sketches indicated that although
their appearance was not severely altered, the film version had the
ability to compact itself into a rolling saucer as a mode of
transportation. Recently, Sentinels appeared in ''[[X-Men: The

Official Game]]''. The Sentinels featured in the game appear to be
similar to those from the game ''[[X-Men: Children of the Atom (arcade
game)|X-Men: Children of the Atom]]''. There are two types of

Sentinels: one is a smaller, aerial model; and the other is a giant
walking behemoth.

* In ''[[X-Men: The Last Stand]]'', a simulation of a Sentinel was

used in the Danger Room for Professor Xavier's mutant students to

train and fight against. At the end of the session, [[Fastball Special|

Colossus throws Wolverine]] at the robot and he beheads it.

===Sebastian Shaw===
Sebastian Shaw appears in ''[[X2 (film)|X2]]'' voiced by [[Charles

Siegel]] and appearing as Dr. Shaw. He appears briefly on a television
screen debating with another well-known character from the comics,

[[Beast (comics)|Hank McCoy]].

===Siyrn===
* In the film ''[[X2 (film)|X2: X-Men United]]'', Siryn was played by

[[Shauna Kain]] in a small cameo role. During [[William Stryker]]'s
attack on the mansion, her scream alerts the rest of the school that
they are under attack. She was knocked out, but was rescued by

[[Colossus (comics)|Colossus]]. Her name (along with her father's)
also appears on a list of names [[Mystique (comics)|Mystique]] scrolls

through on Stryker's computer while looking for Magneto's file. In

the novelization for the film (written by [[Chris Claremont]]), Siryn

and a young [[Jamie Madrox]] are involved in a budding teen romance.

* Kain reprised the role in ''[[X-Men: The Last Stand]]''.
