X-Men is a 2000 superhero film based upon the fictional characters the X-Men. The film, which played a major role in the 2000s revival of comic book adaptations, tells the story of mutants, creatures that are the next evolutionary step in the chain of humanity, and have special powers that manifest at puberty. They are almost universally feared and loathed by the rest of humanity. The film explores the ideas of prejudice and discrimination in the United States.
Professor Charles Xavier (the world's most powerful telepath) takes gifted individuals and teaches them to control their powers for the good of mankind in Xavier's Academy for Gifted Youngsters. Mutant opponents include United States Senator Robert Kelly (Bruce Davison), a McCarthyesque politician trying to pass legislation crafted to expose the dangers of mutants, and Erik Lehnsherr (also known as Magneto), a mutant who blames humanity for the death of his family during the Holocaust. Believing that humans and mutants can never co-exist peacefully, he builds and tests a machine that turns humans into mutants.
The movie was directed by Bryan Singer. The screenplay was written by David Hayter (who has a cameo appearance in the film as a police officer in the Statue of Liberty area). A sequel, X2, was released in 2003 and a third film, X-Men: The Last Stand, was released in 2006. The film franchise also brought up interest in a solo Wolverine movie and a Magneto-centered film.
X-Men is an American animated series which debuted on October 31, 1992 on the Fox Network as part of its Fox Kids Saturday morning lineup.
X-Men is Marvel Comics’ second attempt at an animated X-Men program, after the poorly received half-hour pilot “Pryde of the X-Men” was broadcast multiple times between 1989 and 1992. It is considered along with Batman: The Animated Series, to be one of the most faithful animated series based on a comic book. The popularity and success of X-Men (along with Batman, which also debuted in the Fox Kids 1992–93 season) helped launch a number of comic-based animated series in the 1990s.
