There is another early scene in which Charles Xavier is teaching biology to a class of idle youngsters, and although it may have been there primarily to set up the shocking swerve of a post-credit sequence (in which we find Charles awakening in the body of his comatose twin brother what?) it also brings us further into the part of this world that most of us tend to forget: that this is a legitimate school, and not merely a sanctum for outcast evolutionary anomalies. These kids are not here simply to while away the hours shooting fireballs from their scrotums or freeze ponds to go skating at their leisure. They are there to learn, to use every possible measure of their gifts, mortal and otherwise, as can be managed. If they were there simply to be mutants doing what mutants do, thats what the Danger Room is for. Most fans have gotten so used to the concept of X-Men as globetrotting superheroes that their equally pertinent roles as mentors gets overshadowed. To be given as much as a glimpse into the classroom at the Xavier Institute is a respectful gesture to the roots of the team, which was espoused upon most succinctly in First Class.
