Talk:Brotherhood of Mutants

Formation Time
I'm not sure that the Magneto's little group at the end of First Class was the Brotherhood of Mutants. I always thought that the Brotherhood was formed in The Last Stand in response to the cure. The Brotherhood clearly didn't exist in X2 and I always assumed it didn't exist before then. In the original X-Men film, Magneto says that Senator Kelly is afraid of a brotherhood of mutants but I always thought he was being metaphorical and that David Hayter was just alluding to the team from the comics. This of course would mean that the group at the end of First Class was not the Brotherhood of Mutants.

So what should they be referred to as? The Hellfire Club? They have all the same members except for Shaw but somehow I don't think that Magneto would be one for political manipulation. Not that that is the only function the Club serves or that a group with totally different motives couldn't use the name. Or is it neither the Hellfire Club nor the Brotherhood of Mutants? Perhaps it is its own entity not given a name on-film. If so what should we refer to it as? The Second Hellfire Club? Magneto's Club? The First Brotherhood? Magneto's team? Magneto's Brotherhood? Let me know what you think. --3LMN 07:08, June 24, 2011 (UTC)
