Another CIA officer sponsors the mutants and invites them to the secret "Division X" facility.

Azazel, Riptide, and Shaw attack Division X, killing everyone but the mutants, whom Shaw invites to join him. Angel accepts, but when Alex and Armando retaliate, Shaw kills Armando. In Moscow, Shaw compels the generals to have the USSR <a href="/wiki/Cuban_Missile_Crisis" title="Cuban Missile Crisis">install missiles</a> in <a href="/wiki/Cuba" title="Cuba">Cuba</a>. Wearing a helmet that blocks telepathy, Shaw follows the Soviet fleet in a submarine to ensure the missiles break a U.S. blockade. In the meantime, Xavier takes the remaining recruits back to his mansion where they focus on harnessing their abilities. McCoy believes Raven's DNA may provide a "cure" for their appearance and manages to get a cure ready, but Raven, after being persuaded by Lehnsherr, decides she does not want to hide her identity and refuses the cure. McCoy uses the cure on himself but it backfires, giving him blue fur and leonine aspects. With McCoy piloting, the mutants and MacTaggert take a jet to the blockade line, where Xavier uses his telepathy to influence a Soviet sailor to destroy the ship carrying the missiles, and Lehnsherr uses his magnetic power to lift Shaw's submarine from the water, depositing it on land. During the ensuing battle, Lehnsherr seizes Shaw's helmet, allowing Xavier to immobilize Shaw. While Shaw is helpless, Lehnsherr reveals he shares Shaw's <a href="/wiki/Chosen_people" title="Chosen people">exclusivist</a> view of mutants but desires to avenge his mother, and pushes the Nazi coin he has been carrying since childhood through Shaw's brain, killing him. Unable to risk releasing Shaw, Xavier is forced to experience Shaw's death. Both fleets fire at the mutants in fear, but Lehnsherr intercepts their barrage. As he turns their arsenal back toward the fleet, MacTaggert tries to stop him by shooting him, but he deflects the bullets, one of which hits Xavier in the spine when he intervenes between the two. Lehnsherr rushes to help Xavier and, distracted, allows the artillery to fall harmlessly into the ocean. Parting with Xavier over their differing views on the relationship between mutants and humans, Lehnsherr leaves with Angel, Azazel, Riptide, and Raven. Later, a wheelchair-using Xavier and his mutants return to the mansion, where he intends to open a school. MacTaggert promises never to reveal Xavier's location, but Xavier makes sure of this by wiping her memories. Meanwhile, Lehnsherr, now using the name Magneto, and the other Hellfire Club members free Frost from her prison. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Cast">Cast</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=X-Men:_First_Class&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Cast">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:James-mcavoy-michael-fassbender-x-men-junket-interview-300x300.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img alt="Michael Fassbender and James McAvoy sit in front of the "X" logo for Xavier's school." src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/bb/James-mcavoy-michael-fassbender-x-men-junket-interview-300x300.jpg/220px-James-mcavoy-michael-fassbender-x-men-junket-interview-300x300.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="220" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/bb/James-mcavoy-michael-fassbender-x-men-junket-interview-300x300.jpg 1.5x" data-file-width="300" data-file-height="300" /></a><figcaption>Actors <a href="/wiki/Michael_Fassbender" title="Michael Fassbender">Michael Fassbender</a> and <a href="/wiki/James_McAvoy" title="James McAvoy">James McAvoy</a> at a press junket</figcaption></figure> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/James_McAvoy" title="James McAvoy">James McAvoy</a> as <a href="/wiki/Charles_Xavier_(film_series_character)" class="mw-redirect" title="Charles Xavier (film series character)">Charles Xavier</a>: The telepathic mutant leader and founder of the <a href="/wiki/X-Men" title="X-Men">X-Men</a>.

These are set in a pub called "the Eagle", next to the famous <a href="/wiki/Bridge_of_Sighs_(Oxford)" class="mw-redirect" title="Bridge of Sighs (Oxford)">"Bridge of Sighs"</a> in Oxford, but there is no such pub.

The credits animation depicts DNA strands through simple geometric shapes, drawing inspiration from both <a href="/wiki/Saul_Bass" title="Saul Bass">Saul Bass</a> and <a href="/wiki/Maurice_Binder" title="Maurice Binder">Maurice Binder</a>'s work in the Bond films.<a href="#cite_note-92">[91]</a> The origin story made the X-Men costumes resemble the ones in the original comics, while still being functional, with the yellow parts resembling <a href="/wiki/Kevlar" title="Kevlar">Kevlar</a> and the blue looking like <a href="/wiki/Ballistic_nylon" title="Ballistic nylon">ballistic nylon</a>, and resembling 1962 apparel in both the fabrics and the "<a href="/wiki/Space_Age" title="Space Age">Space Age</a> fashion". The costumes tried to convey the characters' personalities — for instance, Xavier wore loose clothes, and Emma Frost's costumes were white and shimmery. Magneto's costume at the film's ending also closely resembled the original version from the comics, and three versions of his helmet were made, two to fit Fassbender's head and one for Bacon's.<a href="#cite_note-atom4-93">[92]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Visual_effects">Visual effects</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=X-Men:_First_Class&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Visual effects">edit</a>]</div> First Class employed 1,150 <a href="/wiki/Visual_effects" title="Visual effects">visual effects</a> shots,<a href="#cite_note-awn-94">[93]</a> which was done by six companies:<a href="#cite_note-cinefex-27">[26]</a> <a href="/wiki/Rhythm_and_Hues_Studios" class="mw-redirect" title="Rhythm and Hues Studios">Rhythm and Hues</a> was responsible for Emma Frost, Mystique and Angel, as well as set extensions; <a href="/wiki/Cinesite" title="Cinesite">Cinesite</a> handled Azazel, the visuals for Cerebro and environment effects; <a href="/wiki/Luma_Pictures" title="Luma Pictures">Luma Pictures</a> did Banshee, Havok and Darwin; <a href="/wiki/Moving_Picture_Company" title="Moving Picture Company">Moving Picture Company</a> did Beast, Riptide, and the scene where Shaw's yacht is destroyed and he escapes in a submarine; <a href="/wiki/Digital_Domain" title="Digital Domain">Digital Domain</a> created Sebastian Shaw's powers, and <a href="/wiki/Weta_Digital" class="mw-redirect" title="Weta Digital">Weta Digital</a> was responsible for the climactic battle in Cuba.<a href="#cite_note-fxguide-34">[33]</a> The overall coordination was provided by visual effects designer <a href="/wiki/John_Dykstra" title="John Dykstra">John Dykstra</a>, who said the biggest difficulty was the tight schedule: "It was slightly less than a year and I've never done anything like that before (<a href="/wiki/Spider-Man_(2002_film)" title="Spider-Man (2002 film)">Spider-Man</a> (2002) was frequently two years)."<a href="#cite_note-awn-94">[93]</a> British company 4dMax employed special <a href="/wiki/3D_scanner" class="mw-redirect" title="3D scanner">3D scanners</a> to digitize data of the sets and actors which would be used by the effects companies.<a href="#cite_note-cinefex-27">[26]</a> This allowed for computer-generated sets such as the mirrored nuclear reactor where Magneto battles Shaw<a href="#cite_note-awn-94">[93]</a>—for which the effects team used the mirror maze fight in <a href="/wiki/Enter_the_Dragon" title="Enter the Dragon">Enter the Dragon</a> (1973) as a reference—and the domed walls of Cerebro.
