An adaptation of the ''[[X-Men (Comic Book)|X-Men]]'' comic book franchise to the silver screen, which pretty much singlehandedly revived superhero movies for [[Turn of the Millennium|the 2000s]].
The first film,
Rather than continuing the series chronologically from there, FOX decided to film a series of [[Spin-Off]]s and [[Prequel]]s, starting with

Line 14:
** Inverted with Magneto. While not ugly by any means, he's considerably older than the character in the comics and much less physically imposing. While Magneto was a buff, chiseled [[White-Haired Pretty Boy]] in the comics, in the movie his white hair is the result of him being seventy-something years old. Justified, since the movies don't have the comics' [[Comic Book Time|sliding timescale]] or the multiple instances of him being de-aged and re-aged and had to make him the realistic age of a Holocaust survivor.
*** This gets rectified when you see him in ''First Class''.
* [[Adaptational Weakling]]:
** Wolverine has a healing factor, as he does in the comics, but he can still be incapacitated if a strong enough blow hits him, or Rogue has to borrow his powers to save her life. Decapitation can kill him, and ''The Wolverine'' movie showed that science could suppress his healing abilities or {{spoiler|remove the adamantium grafted to his bones}}.
** Rogue in most versions grows from a nervous teenager that lacks control of her life-absorbent powers to a straight-up badass that can fly or take on Apocalypse. While Rogue gains more confidence in ''[[X2: X-Men United]]'' to the point that she uses Pyro's powers to keep him from burning police officers alive, ''[[X-Men: The Last Stand]]'' has her change course. She finds out there's a cure for her powers, a gift she never wanted, and it's being administered a few miles away. After thinking about it, and talking with Wolverine who tells her that she should do it for herself and not for her boyfriend Bobby, Rogue decides to become normal. She doesn't regret it, smiling when showing she can touch Bobby without hurting him.
** The Juggernaut in ''[[X-Men: The Last Stand]]''; [[Memetic Mutation| Kitty made him ''her'' bitch!]] Okay, she had to outsmart him with Leech's help, but it was still... Pretty embarrassing for someone who, in the comics, has gone toe-to-toe with the Hulk. Not to mention he ''seriously'' blew his chance to make a good first impression, telling Magneto (who sprung him out of jail) to "Let me out of here, I need to pee!".
* [[All There in the Script]]: Some characters are never named.
* [[Barbie Doll Anatomy]]: Mystique has no visible nipples or genitalia in her standard form. Then again, her true form is basically a scaly blue creature, so nipples wouldn't have been necessary in either case.
