20 Stupid X-Men Movie Mistakes You Probably Missed

7. How Can Mystique Use Her Powers?! - X-Men: Apocalypse

Throughout the X-Men movies, we're introduced to technology designed to dampen mutations to keep mutants from using their powers. Sometimes they take the form of inhibitor collars, but in X-Men: Apocalypse, we see an earlier version of the same technology used in the holding pens at Alkali Lake.

The captured mutants are thrown into the prisons with the active fields designed to stop them using their powers to escape. Which is super effective on everyone...
