It’s out! The new movie from Marvel. No, not Captain America: Winter Soldier. No, not Amazing Spider-Man 2. No, not Guardians of the Galaxy. (That’s coming in August.) I’m talking about X-Men: Days of Future Past, the third of four Marvel movies this year. Is it just me or does it seem like Hollywood is trying to kill the goose that laid the golden egg?

Anyway, if you haven’t seen the new X-Men movie yet, it’s a hoot and a half! We learn that Professor X and Magneto are really brothers, and the Cyclops and Marvel Girl are Wolverine’s parents from the future. And it’s finally revealed that The Beast and Iceman are the ones who put Professor X in a wheelchair but not before having children who, in a weird time paradox, grew up to be themselves as well as their own worst enemies. All of which proves that Xavier is his own grandpa. Wow!

I guess I should have said “spoiler alert” first. My bad.

The world hasn’t been the same since the first issue of X-Men introduced Magneto way back in issue #1, only to return in issues 4, 5, 7 and 18. What’s Magneto’s appeal? His powers? His evilness? Or just his magnetic personality? Personally I think it’s the cool helmet.

Naturally, to tie in with all this X-citement over X-Men (see what I did there?) I have a song to share with you. It’s the X-Men theme and it has been recorded so many times already it was hard to pick which version to use. Let’s just assume this is the best rendition, shall we?
