The X-Men were introduced in X-Men #1 (1963), written by Stan Lee and art by Jack Kirby. The team consisted of Scott Summers as Cyclops, Jean Grey as Marvel Girl, Bobby Drake as Iceman, Hank McCoy as Beast, and Warren Worthington III as Angel. And, of course, Professor Charles Xavier as well. Magneto would also make his appearance in this comic as well. X-Men #4 (1964) introduced Mangeto's Brotherhood of Mutants and Toad (Mortimer Toynbee), who appears in this film. Some other fun stuff happened, like X-Men #9 (1964), where The X-Men met The Avengers, a superhero team formed in Avengers #1 (1963) made up of pre-existing Marvel characters. You've undoubtedly heard about The Avengers thanks to the massive success of their movies, starting with Iron Man (2008) and giving birth to the MCU, Marvel Cinematic Universe, and interconnected series of films and later shows. X-Men #35 (1967) saw the X-Men meeting Spider-Man, introduced in Amazing Fantasy #15 (1961). Of course, Spider-Man, Marvel's most iconic character, and the X-Men were the face of Marvel from the 1970s to the 1990s. This changed during the rise of the MCU, where The Avengers became the Face of Marvel, Iron Man and Captain America. But moving back to the 1970s, The X-Men would take around a 5-year break once Stan Lee dropped them to focus on The Avengers and Fantastic Four comics. Wolverine made his first appearance in The Incredible Hulk #180 (1974), appearing in the final panel as a cameo. His entire appearance would be in The Incredible Hulk #181 (1974), appearing throughout the comic. A year later, we would get Giant-Size X-Men (1975) written by Len Wein. This comic would introduce us to Professor X, creating a new team to rescue the original X-Men members. The new squad comprised Storm (Ororo Munroe), this being her first comic appearance, and Wolverine, who is now a member of The X-Men, among other characters you've yet to meet in the films. Chris Claremont would write the next issue and would go on to become one of the most iconic X-Men writers to date across future stories into the 1980s. Another character's first appearance would be Rogue, who appeared in Avengers Annual #10 (1981), a storyline heavily connected to The Avengers and Mystique. Speaking on Mystique, she appeared a few years before in Ms. Marvel #16 (1978) a story written by Chris Claremont. And I think that's everyone you've met in this film. Also, why are the X-Men films not a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe? It's because of movie rights. During the 1990s, Marvel faced bankruptcy and went bankrupt in 1996, so a lot was happening. So, to make money, Marvel decided to sell off character/team rights to different companies, with 20th Century Fox getting the rights to The X-Men and Fantastic Four. In contrast, Sony got the rights to Spider-Man, and other companies got the rights to characters. When it came time for Marvel to start working on their films, they simply couldn't use certain characters and teams because they no longer had the movie rights. They created Iron Man (2008) and planned on future films to build up to an Avenger movie. But they could not make an X-Men, Spider-Man, or Fantastic Four film. They couldn't even mention the term Mutant or feature X-Men/Mutant characters, even if Fox was not using them in a movie. The MCU was a shared, connected universe that captured what made the comics so special, but it was without the X-Men. That's why we have X-Men and MCU films released around the same time but never cross over or make small references. Marvel did try to connect them, like having an X-Men cameo in an MCU film, but these never happened. As of 2019, Disney bought Fox, so the movie rights of The X-Men have returned to Marvel, allowing them to do whatever they want with The X-Men now. Deadpool & Wolvrine (Deadpool 3) will be the first MCU X-Men film released just next month. So yes, X-Men are very much Marvel, but for movies, Fox's X-Men movies are very much disconnected from the MCU :(

I don't think people can be at fault for liking Jean with Logan. They don't really show her relationship with Scott, like at all. Lol We mostly see Logan flirting with her that I often forget she's even with Scott lol The creators really spent a lot of time on Logan in general, but I don't fault them for that considering he's a lot of people's favorite characters. Cyclops and a bunch of other mutans were done dirty with the lack of focus on them and their abilities in these films. I really enjoyed your reaction! I especially love your Dune reactions. I love that you don't take yourself too seriously, but also respect the content you're reaching to.

[@nic7520]

X-Men Origins: Wolverine is a movue more focused on, of course, Wolverine. X-Men First Class is where you’ll get Charles‚ Magneto‚ and Mystique's backstory.

[@dezzydee3013]

The difference between magneto and professor Xavier is the same difference between Martin Luther King and Malcolm x. Malcolm X wanted to pay an eye for an eye and believes in mutant superiority and Charles Xavier wanted to peacefully live and coexist with the humans. Charles Xavier 'had a dream" so to speak.

[@hothotheat3000]

I saw this movie as a little girl and I LOVED that Wolverine apologized to Jean for attacking her. Most heroes in movies like this are 100% macho and never admit fault. I love that he says it without being confronted by her, without her demanding an apology. He genuinely regrets it and makes amends. and then ten minutes later is like WHERES *YOUR* ROOM?

[@bellsomniaa2026]

yesss i love x-men!!

[@adrianacamila7720]

CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOUR REACTION TO CHERIK'S LOVE STORYYYY

[@alyosha864]

first xmen i ever saw was ‘first class’ and i loved it so much it made me go back and watch every single xmen movie ahhhh i can’t wait till you get there! love hearing about your favourite mutants in this one!

[@purplemace6866]

Mystique is literally my everything awakening. She’s my mother

[@CarolinaPintos-q7k]

I Just found this channel. I know you from the kpop reactions but i didn't know you react to films and shows. 😊 I love the x-men. Hope you keep watching, First Class and DOFP are the best x movies ❤ Edit: the x men were created to represent society. So the mutants are like minorities or anyone that society see as " different"

[@abbietheoreo]

Am so excited for you to get through the whole series... "Logan" the end to all of this is amazingly done

[@purplemace6866]

I’m so fckg happy you’re getting into it. Days of future past is literally 10/10. U have to watch First class first. Then Days of future past and Apocalypse and then Dark Phoenix. Don’t forget about X-men 97 which is the higher rated serie on Disney + surpassing Ms Marvel. X-men 97 is the reboot of the first X-men anime which was released in 96 I think ? It’s a whole masterpiece every episode gives goosebumps. The X-men universe is just a masterpiece by itself ❤️ (Yellow spandex is their original outfit which you can find em in this serie)

[@ShayanaAdkins-gw1ew]

That clock hanging off the edge is 🔥 😂

[@Cherali2]

Scott has a story too. I don't know if they show that in this categories of X-Men, but the movie at 2020 I think, you can watched what happened before he meet Charles

[@CGZ_Moondragon]

Ah yes a good era✨ these movies were pretty good 😎

[@zoeynelson7322]

I personally think it would be best to watch the X-Men movies in release order Also side note I prefer Jane and Scott together, y’all see why later on in the franchise when they decide to show their relationship more

[@cor1nn3]

THE XMEN FRANCHISE IS SOMETHING SO SERIOUS AND PERSONAL TO MEEEEEE like it's scary the amount of times i've seen every xmen movie nobody gets them like i do 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️ i'm so excited to rewatch them for the millionth time with you eeeeeeeep 🤭

[@CaitybTV]

Yassss! Let’s gooo!

[@insanpratiwi5057]

oot but thank you so much caitlyn. what you did its not just “reacting” but you became my internet friend that love to watch movie/series that i also liked. i feel like i have a friend that actually watch something with me in this lonely world 🥹🤧 hope you keep happy and healthy🫶

[@christianslater2736]

you are such a fun reactor, had a great time, especially during the surprise moments and jump scares, cant wait for you too see more! I think the reason most of them bonded so fast, aka wolverine and rogue, is they have a shared trauma of what they have been thru, same as charles and magneto. Storm is almost God level power during periods of the comics, such a great character also. youll find out more about the Charles and magento relationship as you go.

[@pisto30]

Random pointless fact: Toad was played by Ray Park, who played Darth Maul in the Star Wars movie: Star Wars I: The Phantom Menace.

[@runknee295]

Omg, I rarely comment on yt but I'm just so so happy and excited you're starting X-Men!! I always have a soft spot for this series, I love a lot of the characters here. Looking forward to see more, I hope you enjoy! 🤟

[@ShayanaAdkins-gw1ew]

I love your reaction❤can’t wait for the others hope you continue the series you won’t be disappointed

[@Cherali2]

jean belongs to scott. logan is gentle with her, but personally I didn't like the way he behaved with her, knowing that she was in a relationship with Scott. for me it's disrespectful. But I love the character too

[@CaitybTV]

Valid valid

[@hothotheat3000]

He’s honorable up to a point. He sees a hot woman, he’s gonna try it until she says “stop, you’re making me feel uncomfortable”. If he thinks there’s a shot, and she’s flirting back, he’s not going to stop.

[@JK-bg9qk]

Can’t WAIT for you to watch the next one, so much better!!!!

[@YaneryMeza17]

Honestly no shame in not having seen some of these more popular movies! I didn’t watch Star Wars til I was in college and I just started watching Lord of the Rings. X-Men is a lot of fun as a franchise though so I hope you enjoy it!

[@chan_blisss1331]

I need her to react to the new 97 series so bad 😭✨

[@CGZ_Moondragon]

If I remember correctly Storm, Jean and Cyclops are in the highest rank of mutant power so... A pretty powerful team Charles has👀

[@Autobot9400]

Close, Storm and Jean are Omega level (highest, although Jean has yet to explore her full potential) and Cyclops is Alpha level. While many mutants seem extremely powerful, there are only 25 named Omega level mutants in the comics, Iceman and Magneto among them. Most of the X-Men and Brotherhood members are Alpha at best, including Xavier. While Xavier is a highly skilled and very powerful telepath, he has set limits on his powers which is why he maxes out at Alpha level. Omega level mutants don't have discernable limits. This is why even though Jean, for example, is often portrayed as weaker, she doesn't really have limits if she really pushes herself to keep getting better. This difference is why Alphas can often appear stronger than Omegas. With Omegas its about their seemingly limitless potential as opposed to being the best.

[@ivanribnikov2001]

Yeah in the comics most mutants are way lower in power level, like mostly physical abilities along with some visible characteristic that makes them look odd to the general public, and hence they being easily discriminated against.

[@derrick-xh7zi]

I can't wait to see your reaction to X-MEN 2 and all the rest of the movies;also looking forward to you watching the Star Wars movies too. The MCU could be another franchise you might try watching but it will take up A LOT of time but it's worth it.

[@kpopvibes721]

The X-men serie is one of my favourite movies of all time. Hope you enjoy discovering the other movies of the serie And don't worry you'll definitely get to know Eric and Charles story

[@n.ami1505]

I love the x-men series and I love your reactions so I'm sat! 🍿😎

[@anuarzh4646]

always great to see you react to movies, I personally love. Enjoy the rest of the series. it has its up and downs, but one of the best comic-book movies series, definitely.

[@romheadliner994]

I cant wait for you to react to XMEN movies then the masterpiece XMEN 97!

[@MoniqueSouzaMHS]

Guuurl, i love your reactions, so can you pleeeease do a reaction of the anime "Vampire Dormitory"? I will really looooove to see your reactions to this anime full of romance and drama. ❤

[@nicolemilewczyk5760]

Can't wait for the whole series! Especially Wolverine Genesis (my fav). You might want to check the timeline for those movies if you want, it's kind of like with Avengers where theoretically you 'should' watch it in specific order to go chronologically with the story not the order of movies coming out but i think as you watch all of it in short time you remember most of it so you can piece it all together without the "timeline"

[@CaitybTV]

I’ll just go in release order and do the best I can. I think it’s fun to see it and piece it together that way.

[@Andrea-xs1ln]

OMG LET'S GOOOO

[@Noneya593]

Great video thank you for working hard to bring us great content ❤❤❤

[@shreyasingh3006]

Please react to the haunting of hill house series

[@rosat8877]

[@spccolts]

Wolverine is tough guy. I mean, he'll slice people into pieces without mercy. BUT then go out of his way to help people. He's THE BEST Anti-hero of all time! Blue girl is name Mystique.

[@ghazalgn267]
