X-MEN THE MOVIES
by Renaud Bédard



All in respect with the original X-Men and their original creators Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, it would be nice to see all original members together right at the very beginning, possibly in a relaunch, since the idiocies of the Last Stand which should simply be ignored. And could be revealed that Professor Xavier has known those original members for a long time, and characters like Cyclops, Jean Grey, Beast, Angel, and even a very young Iceman have gone on missions together in the very beginning, and that occasionally even though some took their distances a little from the team, and even thought they might not act like it publicly, they still kept ties together, even with secret meetings. And possibly at an even lower level underground where few would know anything of, for even higher security reasons in case of possible infiltration, underneath there could be an even more vast and advanced complex possible with off world ties, only known by the original Men of Xavier, but about to be found out by some newer members like Wolverine Storm Colossus, Rogue, Nightcrawler and others, growing more and more suspicious and curious of some disappearing and re-appearing in certain sections of the institute, and maybe that would be how a young Iceman years ago accidentally found his way to the original X-Men

- CYCLOPS ORIGIN -

Could it be possible that before Scott Summers met with Professor Xavier, he could have hurt others by accident, and cause a lot of damage with his optical blast; in the very beginning, could the boy then, have been a walking time bomb with his power ready to immerge. Even now knowing his immense power within him he is still a great risk to all. In his youth, could the first manifestations of Scott Summers mutant power have cause serious injuries; something that could still be haunting him deeply today right into his nightmares, with his biggest fear to accidentally hurt others again, even friends and love ones. Even the thought of ending his very own life as a young teenager might have passed through his mind way back then to make sure he would never hurt any innocents ever again; and possibly at the time his little brother Alexander might have had something to do in helping him

- HOUSE OF MAGNETO -

The best Marvel crossover event that could ever be made would be a nice next eventual logical step for Marvel Films, after the mess of  The Last Stand is fixed, and finally bring together in one mega huge movie event their finest from X-Men, Avengers, Spider-Man and others, in a story like House Of M that would see continuity and the future of all of mankind altered to the extreme, with only a single thought from the most powerful mutant on Earth, daughter of Magneto, a delirious Wanda Maximoff the Scarlet Witch, after the events of Disassembled and influenced by her brother, would change the existence of everyone on Earth simply by changing probabilities. The only difference with the graphic novel is that all would return exactly as they were in the beginning

- CAPTAIN AMERICA & WOLVERINE -

With studios playing nice with each other, it could be conceivable to have other Marvel character cameos appearing in eachother's, and two heroes immediately come to mind, Logan, aka Wolverine, and the Steve Rogers, the super-soldier known as Captain America. With the two heroes during World War Two, Logan a Canadian soldier, and Rogers in the US Forces, both could first meet by accident during a special mission to free prisoners heading towards a German death camp. Maybe such cameos could be a little cameo time trade arrangement, with the possibility of Wolverine and Captain America, but also Avengers Versus X-Men, where only good would prevail

- ALPHA FLIGHT -

The Alpha Flight an all-Canadian superhero team from the Marvel universe, which first appeared in the X-Men comics, could make an interesting appearance, with characters like Guardian, Vindicator, Puck, Aurora, Shasquatch, Snowbird, Shaman, Northstar and even Wolverine. And to spice things up a little with a bit of comedy and je ne sais quoi, how about a Canadian actor like William Shatner to play the role of the Canadian Prime Minister, a man a little lost in a funny kind of way, in his own parliament :-)

And possibly during a visit to Canada for an international conference on environment and the world economy, the President of the United States Of America would fall under terrorist attack of an international right wing extremist group, where as a last desperate measure, after all else has failed, the Canadian Prime Minister, with an agressive look in his eyes, he would give the order with these simple words to his chief of security,

“Code Weapon Alpha, call in the Guardian”
