Vote up your favorite X-Men movie and TV show adaptations.
Of all the Marvel comic adaptations, the X-Men have been late bloomers to the screen. It wasn't until 1992 that the first X-Men animated series got past the pilot, but they've gained steam since then as this list of all the X-Men movies and TV shows prove.
X-Men movies and TV shows haven't always been dealt a fair hand, with some of their characters held back by exclusive licensing, or whatever it was that happened with Deadpool in X-Men Origins: Wolverine. The X-Men comics movies and shows have also run the range of genre and style over the years, from live-action to animated. They even range from the best comic book and superhero movies of all time, like Logan; to some of the worst, like X-Men: The Last Stand.
This list of all the X-Men movies and TV shows is just going to get longer as new X-Men movies are released. Of all the versions of the X-Men on screen, which are your favorites? Vote up the best X-Men shows and moves, from all the team's adaptations.
Convinced that mutants pose a threat to humanity, Dr. Bolivar Trask (Peter Dinklage) develops the Sentinels, enormous robotic weapons that can detect a mutant gene and zero in on that person. In the 21st century, the Sentinels have evolved into highly efficient killing machines. With mutants now facing extinction, Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) volunteers to go back in time and rally the X-Men of the past to help change a pivotal moment in history and thereby save their future.
Stryker (Brian Cox), a villianous former Army commander, holds the key to Wolverine's (Hugh Jackman) past and the future of the X-Men. This threat re-ignites the call for a mutant registration act. Stryker starts a full-out assault on Professor Xavier's (Patrick Stewart) mansion and school. After escaping his plastic cell, Magneto (Ian McKellen) proposes a partnership with Xavier and the X-Men to combat this new formidable enemy they both have in common.
In the early 1960s, during the height of the Cold War, a mutant named Charles Xavier (James McAvoy) meets a fellow mutant named Erik Lehnsherr (Michael Fassbender). Despite their vastly different backgrounds -- Charles grew up with a wealthy family, while Erik lost his parents at Auschwitz -- the two become close friends. As the world teeters on the brink of a nuclear war, Charles and Erik with other mutants join forces to save humanity. However, a situation soon tears the friends apart.
They are children of the atom, homo superior, the next link in the chain of evolution. Each was born with a unique genetic mutation, which at puberty manifested itself in extraordinary powers. In a world filled with hate and prejudice, they are feared by those who cannot accept their differences. Led by Xavier the X-Men fight to protect a world that fears them. They are locked in a battle with former colleague and friend, Magneto who believes humans and mutants should never co-exist.
In the near future, a weary Logan (Hugh Jackman) cares for an ailing Professor X (Patrick Stewart) at a remote outpost on the Mexican border. His plan to hide from the outside world gets upended when he meets a young mutant (Dafne Keen) who is very much like him. Logan must now protect the girl and battle the dark forces that want to capture her.
