Here is the plot description for “X-Men First Class”:
“X-Men First Class” brings together the epic scale and action of a summer blockbuster. This is a character-driven story that unveils the beginning of the “X-Men” saga, a secret history of the Cold War and our world at the brink of nuclear Armageddon.
As the first class discovers, harnesses and comes to terms with their formidable powers, alliances are formed that will shape the eternal war between the heroes and villains of the “X-Men” universe. Like all great “X-Men” stories, “X-Men First Class” takes on ambitious themes and issues while offering a rich and personal look at an unusual superhero team.
The film is set in the 1960s, which is the dawn of the Space Age and a time filled with the hope of JFK’s Camelot. But it was also the height of the Cold War – when escalating tensions between the U.S. and the Soviet Union threatened the entire planet – and when the world discovered the existence of mutants.
Watch the official movie trailer for “X-Men: First Class” now below.

wolverine
I have to vote for Wolverine. I have several reasons - First, he was the very first (and he may the be the only, because he was at the time) Marvel Super Hero to have intentionally killed another man. Why do I say that deserves an honor? Not that I condone killing other humans, but this was a very mature step for the comic industry and it opened a lot of doors. Wolverine, unlike other comic book heroes, is a highly complex character with many profilings suggesting actual psychological models upon which his creation was based. Second, he’s a friend of Dare Devils. They even had early training together if you read way back in the 1980s what was going on in the Marvel UniverseS (multiverse!).
mystique
She’s a true camouflaging creature. That’s awesome.
nightcrawler
Nightcrawler: Master of swords, teleportation, and unmatched agilitiy makes this guy my favorite X-Men character. He can teleport almost anywhere (chooses not to because he doesn’t want to teleport into something), assassinate people, and he’s just so cool to boot.
X-men First Class
I’d be Gambit, cause the ability to play any card game and blow it all up at the same time could prove useful!
Remy Lebeau (Gambit): I love
Remy Lebeau (Gambit):
I love the concept of an anti-hero, and he represents one well. only truly loyal to himself and his own interests doing what he sees needs to be done by his own methods, and not really being bothered by the fact that none of the team truly trusts him.
I like him as an anti-hero far more than Logan, who I view as just an idiot. Once a wild animal now a tamed puppy.
.Blink is extra-cool, and
.Blink is extra-cool, and has a real fire in both the Age of Apocolypse world and in the Generation X world. Similarly, psylocke was pretty well developed for being eye-candy. …Although I have to say, I really hate what they did with her character, from right around the Crimson-Dawn timeframe… …It’s like she’s another Jean Grey who comes back 90 different times, with all kinds of wierd permutations. “Rachel Summers” included in that bit.
x-men
the one who can turn invisible because that is so cool and advantageous
Phoenix
She was hell on wheels & could cause extreme mayhem.
My favorite X-men Series
My favorite X-men Series Character is with absolutely no doubt Magneto. I love his way of being a villain and i just loved his adaptation to the cinema. For me he is the most charismatic character of the series and specially he has my favorite super power. to be able to magnetize metallic objects is like to be able to control a major part of our present world, where metal is present everywhere around us Razz
I’d have to say my
I’d have to say my personal favorite is Iceman. He’s can travel really fast by making ice bridges he can slide on, (that’d be pretty fun form of travel to boot!), he can easily subdue anyone without hurting them by making an ice prison and trapping them for awhile, and if he wanted to hurt someone he could just launch huge ice boulders at em’.
