Born with Autism (formerly classified as Asperger syndrome), Tyler B. Searle has been obsessed with storytelling since he was old enough to speak. He gravitated towards fairy tales, mythology, the fantasy genre, and animated movies and shows aimed at family audiences.
Before the MCU, 20th Century Fox helmed the X-Men film franchise, which was instrumental in kickstarting the modern era of superhero films. The series follows characters called mutants, who look human but possess an X-gene that causes them to develop an extensive list of superpowers. Thus, mutants are persecuted by humanity, further dividing them into camps who want to live alongside humans and those who want to subjugate them.
While Rogue is a prominent character in several films, she mainly serves the role of audience surrogate and doesn't become an aid to the team until the extended edition of X-Men: Days of Future Past. This represents a disappointing departure from her comic counterpart, who has super strength and the power of flight. While her relationship with Iceman adds some teenage romance to the story, it's still unfortunate that she couldn't go all out.
One would think that, given his familial relationship with the main conflict of X-Men: The Last Stand, Angel would have played a bigger role in the narrative, but he's basically a glorified cameo and a deus ex machina during the climax. He fairs slightly better in X-Men: Apocalypse and even gets a new pair of metallic wings.
Nightcrawler is one of the highlights of X2: X-Men United, thanks in large part to Cumming's performance, which makes it all the more unfortunate that he doesn't appear in any other films. Kodi Smit-McPhee's portrayal in the later movies is decent and captures Nightcrawler's adventurous spirit but lacks the inner struggle of a man trying hard to stay true to his faith despite troublesome circumstances. However, Nightcrawler never lives up to his impressive potential.
4 Blob Played by Kevin Durand and Gustav Claude Ouimet During the Vietnam War, Frederick J. Dukes serves as a member of Team X, using his extreme durability to take out armored vehicles. After the war, Dukes develops an eating disorder and gains a massive amount of weight. Fellow team member John Wraith convinces him to take up boxing to get back into shape, but the results are slow.
Emma Frost is a complex character in the comics, both an antagonist and an ally of the X-Men with distinctive relationships with many of the team's heavy players. Thus, it's a tragedy that the films relegate her to henchwoman status and take her out before the climax of X-Men: First Class.
