Apocalypse How: Sebastian Shaw plans a species extinction (humans die in a nuclear holocaust, mutants inherit the Earth). Ape Shall Never Kill Ape: Sebastian Shaw lightly scolds Emma, after she punts Erik off their yacht, that, "We don't hurt our own kind." Later, he kills Darwin. Anti-Hero: Magneto is one before Jumping Off the Slippery Slope and becoming a full-fledged Villain Protagonist. Xavier, who's psychically linked to Shaw in order to hold him immobile, does the screaming instead. He's held immobile while a coin is pushed slowly through his skull. And I Must Scream: The death of Sebastian Shaw. All MacTaggert remembers is a few glimpses of leaves and Xavier kissing her. Amnesia Missed a Spot: At the end, Xavier (at least apparently) wipes MacTaggert's memory to keep the mutants safe from the CIA. It's not until X-Men: Days of Future Past (set in 1973) and X-Men: Apocalypse (set in 1983) that the divergences become much more pronounced.

Agent Mulder: Oliver Platt's character, who becomes the Reasonable Authority Figure. Forty years before he ends up actually joining the X-Men. Logan already being roughly eighty years old, and only appearing around thirty-five, when a young Charles Xavier and Erik Lehnsherr attempt to recruit him in a bar. Also Mystique/Raven to a point, who ages at a very low rate due to the ability of her cells to alter their function, which makes more sense than Shaw's immortality in the framework of the established rules of the universe. Sebastian Shaw, whose energy-absorbing powers keep him young. Adorkable: Charles and Hank, the former when he uses his nerdy knowledge to woo girls at bars and the latter when he's flustering over Raven. It does not make him as powerful as you would think.
