X-Men: Apocalypse - 10 Big Storylines That Should Come Next

10. E Is For Extinction

Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely were parachuted in to make the X-Men cool for the noughties, having suffered through any number of crappy crossovers and poor creative teams throughout much of the nineties. Their run on New X-Men was supposed to appeal to the new audience that was being drawn in by the first film; wouldn't it be cool to see the influence go both ways? E Is For Extinction introduced a new status quo for the series €“ which, once the final time-travelling escapade of the eighties-set Apocalypse is done, the films will need too €“ that provided a fresh new take on characters and situations, with Cyclops straying from one true love Jean Grey and Professor X given a dark history. Charles Xavier has always been kind of a jerk in he comics, but the films have never really looked into that. So why not adapt the story where the evil twin he thought he'd killed in the womb comes back for revenge, tearing the X-Men apart? No reason, that's why, because E Is For Extinction is great and very much "not your grandpappy's X-Men!"
