X-Men Days Of Future Past Spoilers: 25 Moments Fox Want You To Know

18. Pietro 'Quicksilver' Maximoff Breaks 8 Gold Records (1977)

Another change in the world-climate as a gifted mutant uses his powers of superhuman speed to win eight world records, prompting a partnership between Trask Industries and the Athletics body to outlaw mutants from participating in sporting events.

17. Mutants Dubbed 'God's Curse' By Preacher (1984)

In a move that would no doubt resemble that of a fringe group of believers if a man who could reconstitute water to wine actually did appear, loudmouth "TEST-O-FAI!"-type Bob Bell heads up The Human Majority, a staunch activist group who begin spreading religiously-motivated anti-mutant racism.

16. Chernobyl Creates New Mutant Infants (1986)

We get our first glimpse of baby Colossus, as the fallout from the Chernobyl disaster creates a sudden burst of mutant babies. This also shows some of the lengths the new movie is going to, to distance itself from the whacky overblown nature of The Last Stand, choosing to use such harrowing material for what previously may have been lambasted as 'just a comic book movie', it can only mean good things and wider audiences.
