X-Men: First Class

Corrected entry: Charles says when they are looking at the suits, that they have to wear them because they haven't mutated to endure g-force or being riddled by bullets. Yet somehow a deflected Walther PPK bullet, which is one of the smallest calibers out there, can go through the suit and still have enough power to paralyze Charles?

Friso94

Correction: The suits certainly are not all over bullet proof, and Magneto may very well have sped the bullet on its way, rather than merely deflecting it, giving it more oomph. The bullet didn't kill him at any rate, so I'd say the suit did its job.

Phixius

Corrected entry: In the scene in which Banshee jumps out of the Blackbird, the wings that Beast designed for him aren't on while he's still on the Blackbird, but they appear as he's gliding over the ocean. They're gone again once he's underwater and makes his sonic blast.

footnotefetish

Correction: The wings of this wingsuit extend and retract via some unexplained mechanism from a harness strapped to his torso. The straps on his suit are visible at all times, whether his wings are visible or not, and they don't appear on anyone else's suit. Just like no one else has the disc on their chest that Havok has.

Phixius

Corrected entry: In the scene in the Russian diplomat's bedroom, Erik tightens the bar around Emma's neck so hard that it cracks her diamond neck. Erik says that she can't become diamond again without dying. At the end of the movie, she shifts into diamond form and the cracks in her neck are gone.

Brad

Correction: Erik meant that he would kill her if she changed into her diamond form again. The cracks in her neck not reappearing imply that her diamond form can regenerate itself.

Phaneron

Corrected entry: Emma Frost's power besides telepathy is also to change to a diamond-like form, however this applies only to her, not her clothes, and all throughout the movie everytime she changes to her diamond form she appears to be naked, when she should look as a diamond but dressed.

Correction: At no point in the film is it established that this power does not effect her clothes. There's no mistake here, deliberate or otherwise.

THGhost

Corrected entry: Alex Summers, AKA Havok, is the younger brother of Scott Summers [Cyclops] and is a teenager in the film. Yet in the 90s, when the first X-men was set, Scott was still a teenager when the Cuban missile crisis occurred in 1962, so 30 years between events.

Correction: Scott and Alex are brothers in the comics yes, but it is never explicitly stated that they are supposed to be brothers in the movies. They have the same last name, but no further details are given, therefore, no mistake.

S. Ha

It is stated 2 movies later in X-Men: Apocalypse that Scott and Alex are indeed brothers.

jshy7979

Yes, but they simply decided to make Alex the older brother instead. Changes from the source material aren't considered mistakes, so the original submission is still invalid.

Phaneron

Corrected entry: Near the end, on the island, Mystique changes into Shaw to command his peons not to attack her friends. She is wearing the correct outfit, despite having never seen Shaw dressed like this before.

Correction: Incorrect. She has changed into him wearing the outfit he had when she met him at the CIA base. The outfit with the red blouse and tie, not the one with all the buttons.

lionhead

Corrected entry: After Prof. X has been shot and is in Moira's arms, he moves his own leg in the background of Erik's recruiting speech.

Correction: With a spinal injury or severing of the spine, involuntary leg movements may occur following the injury and for some length of time. They run the gambit of movements from a slight intermittent twitch to actual leg bending at the knee and hip. These involuntary movements are beyond the person's actual control and have to do with the spontaneous firing of the neural connections at the site of the spine injury, and, are well documented in the medical and diagnostic literature.

Corrected entry: In the scene where Erik is in the bar in Argentina, after the fight starts the bartender says "Oye, cabron". From his accent it's obvious that he's supposed to be a native Argentinian, but the word "cabron" is never used in the Argentinian dialect - it's mostly used in Mexico and Spain.

Correction: This doesn't mean a person in Argentina cannot use that word. I know some American people that like to say "scheisse" even though it is a German word.

Phaneron

Factual error: The establishing shot of Shaw's boat says they're in Miami. Yet in the scene, we see a very large suspension bridge in the background. The bridge is the St Simons Bridge leading from Brunswick to St. Simons, Georgia.

Answer: It is shown in X-Men: Days of Future Past that Hank made a serum that can help him walk.

Chosen answer: The short answer is events in this film negate what happened in X-Men 3 as well as Origins: Wolverine or one could say this film essentially became a reboot. Since no real answer seems to be given, and since the X-Men 3 film makers didn't know Charles would later be shown to become paralyzed prior to visiting Jean, they had no need to explain why he's walking. One can only speculate on the possible ways Charles walks in these 2 previous movies (and this isn't taking into account the timeline shift from X-Men Days of Future Past). We do know from DOFP that Hank/Beast created a serum for Charles that allowed him to walk, albeit without his powers. Hank could have kept working on this serum which would allow Charles to walk and still maintain some of his powers. Then at some point Charles stopped taking the serum, confining him to the wheelchair once again. Either because they ran out of the serum or because Charles came to the realization he needs to accept what happened and not hide it, especially if he's teaching children to accept who they are. Charles also has the power of "astral projection" and the power to appear in the minds of others, so Charles could simply not be there at Jean's house, but is back home, in his wheelchair.
