The Worst Moments in the X-Men Movie Franchise
For much of Marvel’s history, their most best-selling team wasn’t the Avengers or the Defenders, or even the Fantastic Four.

From the late 1970s on, Marvel was not only the House of Ideas, it was the House of X-Men, which continued to evolve and mutant, spinning off endless new teams and series. (X-Force! X-Factor! Excalibur! Generation X! And, to a lesser extent, X-Treme X-Men!)
