Storyline
Before Charles Xavier and Erik Lensherr took the names Professor X and Magneto, they were two young men discovering their powers for the first time. Before they were archenemies, they were closest of friends, working together, with other Mutants (some familiar, some new), to stop the greatest threat the world has ever known. In the process, a rift between them opened, which began the eternal war between Magneto's Brotherhood and Professor X's X-MEN. Written by Twentieth Century Fox

Charles Xavier: Mother. What are you... I thought you were a burglar.
Mrs. Xavier: I didn't mean to scare you darling. I was just getting a snack. Go back to bed. What's the matter? Go on, back to bed.I I'll make you a hot chocolate.
Charles Xavier: Who are you? And what have you done with my mother?
[telepathically in her mind]
Charles Xavier: My mother has never set foot in this kitchen in her life. And she certainly never made me a hot chocolate. Unless you count ordering the maid to do it.

Trivia
Director Matthew Vaughn cited the first two X-Films, Star Trek and the 1960s Bond films as major influences on this film. See more »Goofs
Anachronisms: In the attack on the secret CIA research facility, the security force is shown using an M72 LAWs rocket launcher to defend themselves against the attacking mutants. The M72 was not adopted by the US until 1963, that sequence was before the Cuban Missle Crisis which took place in 1962. Also the weapon was fired indoors, the back blast from the weapon would have killed everyone in the surrounding area. See more »Quotes
