Before Charles Xavier and Erik Lensherr took the names Professor X and Magneto, they were two young men discovering their powers for the first time. Before they were arch-enemies, they were closest of friends, working together with other mutants (some familiar, some new), to stop the greatest threat the world has ever known.

I walked into X-Men: First Class expecting homework. You know that feeling “Okay, let’s see how they explain things I already half-know and didn’t ask to know.” Because prequels are dangerous. Prequels are how franchises...
