The twist - the doctor was Operation Paperclip'd into American service. More of the Nazis track down Erik and destroy Charles' institute, but Erik learns that Kleinmein is in Washington DC. Erik, who assumed his powers were the result of Nazi science, realizes he's not alone at all. When Erik fends off an attacking Egyptian tank with his powers, Charles realizes his new friend is a fellow mutant. The two become friends, even if they're split from the beginning due to Erik's militancy and Charles' pacifism. If you want the beginning of superhero films caring more about teeing up spin-offs than telling their own stories, look no further. Far from a more intimate character study, one that embraced the horror of Barry Windsor-Smith's 'Weapon X' comic, 'Wolverine' spent far too much time focused on other mutants. Too many cooks in the kitchen and a troubled production created a mess (read director Gavin Hood's account here). It was panned by critics and fans with an underwhelming box office take ($373 million on a $150 million budget, lower than both 'X2' and 'The Last Stand'). Then, 'Wolverine' was released in the summer of 2009.

Then again, in the movie the missile crisis is averted by a gang of superhero mutants on an incongruously high-tech plane flown by a massive, blue, furry Cookie Monster-type fellow wearing horn-rimmed spectacles.This shows that even before 'X-Men: The Last Stand' was released in 2006, 20th Century Fox already had plans to take the X-brand past the end of the trilogy.

In the movie, a ship gets blown up in real life, none did. The naval blockade was set up 500 miles from the coast of Cuba. Meanwhile, the picturesque scene of the Soviet and American ships lined up 'eyeball to eyeball', in Secretary of State Dean Rusk's famous phrase, a short swim away from Cuba's sandy beaches and swaying palm trees, is fantasy.

There was a convoy rather than just one ship, but perhaps the film's budget got in the way of that. In real life, Soviet ships did not carry missiles in plain sight because their commanders were not completely insane. In the movie, a ship ploughs on towards it with three big obvious nuclear weapons, complete with red-star emblems, strapped to its deck. The Americans set up a naval blockade to prevent Soviet ships from reaching Cuba. in the film a Cuban bay hosts the apocalyptic standoff Kennedy secretly agreed to remove them to help resolve the crisis. Now that'd be goddamn dangerous, I would think.' There was silence, and it fell to his national security adviser to explain: 'Well, we did, Mr President.' Nevertheless, the Turkish missiles did become a bargaining chip. When Soviet missiles were discovered in Cuba, he exclaimed in front of his executive committee: 'It's just as if we suddenly began to put a major number of MRBMs in Turkey. So unimportant were these missiles to the United States that President Kennedy forgot they were there. The decision had been made under the Eisenhower administration, rather than providing an immediate trigger for the crisis in 1962. In reality, the US did position Jupiter missiles in Turkey, though not at the behest of an evil mutant supervillain – unless that's how you'd describe the Pentagon. 'You reposition missiles in Turkey, or anywhere that close to Russia, and you're looking at war,' stutters the general.

'I hear you blocked the proposition to reposition Jupiter missiles in Turkey,' Shaw says. His telepathic sidekick, Emma Frost (January Jones), kitted out in space-age white plastic minidresses anachronistically based on André Courrèges and Paco Rabanne designs from 1964, lures an American general into his lair. Shaw is bent on creating nuclear war between the United States and the Soviet Union, for no better reason than that he's a supervillain and it just won't do to sit around all day knitting booties or hugging puppies. Shaw and his icy assistant in their lairįorward to 1962.
