The mix of real and mutant history continues in X-Men: Days of Future Past.

 

In X-Men: First Class the emergence of mutants in the 1960’s was tied to the Cuban Missile Crisis and Cold War between the U.S. and U.S.S.R.

 

On the The Bent Bullet (a viral marketing site for DOFP) it was implied that Magneto was behind the assassination of President F. Kennedy. It’s been reported that Magneto is on prison accused of killing JFK and Wolverine, Professor X and Quicksilver will stage a jail break.

 

Now Fox unveils 25Moments.com which implies how the fight for mutant rights has tied into world history from the the Cuban Missile Crisis to the Berlin Wall coming down to the future fate of a beloved founding X-Man.

One of the most intriguing sections on the timeline is moment 10 from 1986 the Chernobyl Nuclear Disaster. You see a baby made of organic steel. Is this an infant Colossus, real name Peter Rasputin. The Russian strongman (played by Daniel Cudmore) who can transform his body into steel never had an accent in previous films. Most mutants develop their powers in their teenage years. As we saw in First Class, Charles Xavier, Raven Darkholme and Eric Lensherr possessed powers in pre-teen years. From this photo it is possible some mutants have active mutant genes at birth. It’s implied by this site that the nuclear disaster may have triggered the mutant gene before or at birth with Colossus.

 

You can see a baby with red skin too – could this be a child of Azazel? The red-skinned teleporter from X-Men: First Class who had a Russian accent in the film is the father of Nightcrawler in the comics.

 

X-Men: Days of Future Past opens May 23.
