With Marvel ’s mutant characters on their way to the MCU , many fan are looking back on the original film enfranchisement that enter them to world-wide audiences . Fox’sX - Menfranchise is one of the long superhero serial in flick story , run over the course of 19 years , with 13 films admit prequels and spinoffs , introducing piles of fan - favorite sport over this period of time .

give the length of its run and the rank number of characters therein , Fox ’s franchise was prostrate to at times reboot a character with little explanation as to how or why they would do such a affair . As such , there remain several unexplained twinned mutant in this photographic film series , about which devotee still await answers .

Emma Frost

Fans of theX - Menfranchise are surely familiar with the mutant member of the Hellfire Club , Emma Frost , who possesses telepathic powers as well as the power to bend her hide into near - unbreakable diamond . Played byMad Menstar January Jones , Frost appears inX - serviceman : First Class , but is killed off sometime in between that film ’s last and the beginning ofDays of Future Past .

While many viewers may have taken Emma Frost to be a one - shot villain inX - Men : First Class , many be surprised to learn that this was actually not the first time she had appeared in theX - Menfranchise . In fact , though never cite through duologue , there is a mutant in General Stryker ’s facility at the end ofX - Isle of Man Origins : Wolverinethat seems to have the accurate same great power set as Frost . A dive into the film ’s cast will reveal that this mutant , take on by Tahyna MacManus , is indeed credited as Emma Frost .

Angel

Onemutant that Fox has consistently and objectively failedis Warren Worthington III , otherwise known as Angel . The sport is a part of the original 10 - Men batting order in the comic but does n’t make his first appearance untilX - Men : The Last Stand , where he is portrayed by Ben Foster . The character then plays only a very minor character in the film ’s events , never to be seen again .

While Foster ’s Angel never again makes an appearance , the character himself does , albeit in name only . Ben Hardy impersonate the winged mutant inX - Men : Apocalypse , but it is copiously clean that this is not the same character run into inThe Last Stand . This version of Angel is not only born several decades betimes but acts as an antagonist throughout the film , a far cry from the mutant introduced age in the first place .

Jubilee

Jubilee has had a turbulent family relationship with live - action at law portrayals , which began with a tacit cameo in the originalX - Menfilm . Katrina Florece appears in a classroom view , disport the touch way of the famous variation , though she never gets any significant covert time thereafter .

Fans of Jubilee were beguiled to memorize that the fiber had landed a feature role inX - Men : Apocalypse , portray by Lana Condor . However , there were some timeline issues that failed to be address , make it insufferable for Condor ’s character to be the same mutant interpret in the original film . disregarding , Apocalypsefailed to adequately portray Condor ’s character , causingfans to already start see for the next actress to play the iconic mutant .

Quicksilver

Quicksilver , the speedster mutant that has appeared in bothX - Menand   MCU properties , really makes his first coming into court in a surprising cameo at the end ofX - Men Origins : Wolverine . The mutant appears as one of General Stryker ’s prisoner but   is not formally accredit ,   though he is intelligibly modeled after the infamous X - human ,

lover of the franchise bed that Quicksilver made his first proper appearance inDays of Future Past , played by Evan Peters . The character would prove to be a hit among audiences , going on to appear in two more X - Men films before the end of the franchise . Evans would also come along as a fake version of the speedster in the MCU seriesWandaVision .

Psylocke

The character of Psylocke is perhaps well bonk to cartoon strip fans than motion-picture fan , due in part to her foully small role in Fox ’s resilient - natural action world . Mei Melancon plays the mutant inX - Men : The Last Stand , who act as one of Magneto ’s many forgettable henchmen , at last dying without making much of a crisscross on the movie at all .

Olivia Munn would play a rebooted Psylocke inX - Men : Apocalypse , taking place nigh thirty days before Melancon ’s original portraying . This version , though an melioration over that ofThe Last Stand , was similarly left behind by the screenwriting , perhaps command a third variant of the grapheme to finally get her right .

Colossus

The mutant Colossus is an fabulously of import part of   X - Menlore , especially in the early day of their mirthful history . As such , the ex - Man makes two coming into court in the originalX - Menfranchise , appearing in a minuscule function in both the second and third films of the series , portrayed by Daniel Kudemore .

It was theDeadpoolfranchise that would finally catapult Colossus into the spotlight , while also making clear that this was a unlike version than the one seen in the original films . Deadpool ’s Colossus , aside from being played by Stefan Kapicic rather than Kudemore , has a entirely different design , as well as an accent that the character did n’t have antecedently , all of which signal that the franchise has had not one , but two different titan .

Caliban

Caliban is a comparatively minor mutant in the comics , which perhaps accounts for his evenly modest role in his first alive - action mechanism appearance . The character cameos inX - piece : Apocalypse , played by Gallic thespian   Tómas Lemarquis , and is seemingly kill off by the picture show ’s eponymous baddie .

Caliban somehow returns decennium afterwards inLogan , this metre portrayed by Stephen Merchant . This time , Caliban looks like British , not French , and has a distinctly unlike personality than that of the eccentric depicted inApocalypse , point that , despite sharing a name , this is not the same edition of the persona as audience had seen only two twelvemonth earlier .

Sabretooth

Sabretooth is known as one of Magneto ’s first henchmen , appearing in the originalX - Menfilm , where he was depict by the aptly nominate Tyler Mane . The persona appears to break in the battle at the Statue of Liberty , and never appears in any instalment of the franchise localize in the years after this particular movie .

X - Men Origins : Wolverine , which is coiffure class before the original photographic film , seemingly premise a 2nd version of Sabretooth , meet by Liev Schrieber . This version is revealed to be Wolverine ’s half - brother , with whom he struggle alongside for decades . While this could technically still be the same character as Mane ’s translation , the fact that the history between himself and Wolverine is never brought up in later installments entail that this is not the subject .

Juggernaut

go - Man : The Last Standis the first moving picture in the franchise to introducethe buff - favorite disco biscuit - Men comic villain , the Juggernaut . Played by Vinnie Jones , the character speedily became a goat among the fandom , in part due to the poor adaptation of such an iconic character .

Deadpool 2would see this character ’s return , albeit in a very different form . vocalize by Ryan Reynolds himself , the Juggernaut depict in this film has a far different personality and is considerably tumid than Jones ’s version , falling more in ancestry with the fictional character seen in the comic strip .

Deadpool

The notorious Merc With A Mouth has a spotty history with theX - Menfranchise , beginning with   the universally - hatedX - man Origins : Wolverine . In this film , Ryan Reynolds plays Wade Wilson for the first time , quick disappointing fans as they realized that everything corking about the character had been dismantle aside , including his signature witty dialogue .

In a arresting turnaround , however , Reynolds returned to play the homicidal sport in his own standalone franchise , beginning with 2015’sDeadpool . This rendering is implied to be completely separate from that take in inOrigins , though , given Deadpool ’s 4th - bulwark - break dance humor , this dreadfully misguided interpreting of Wade Wilson is referenced often , remaining the only duplicate that the franchise has actively addressed .
