You go back to the On Demand list and search for more Marvel movies for Raven to watch for the first time.

"Let's try other franchises within Marvel's movie collection," you say. "The X-Men movies have been very good."

"X-Men... Those are the mutants, right?"

"Indeed they are," you say. "Alright, we'll start with the original and see how you like it."

You bring up the film from 2000 via the search, and use the select button to begin.

The film opens on Poland, during the Nazi occupation that would lead to World War II. A young man is being separated from his father and mother but resists. Things get intense as they work to force the boy over to the other area, and he reaches out, shouting for his mother while his mother does the same.

The gates close between them, but something starts pulling on them. It becomes a stronger force the more the boy screams and shouts. The metal specifically is moving towards the boy, and the force between it and him is like a chain making it even more difficult for the Nazi troops to pull him away. Another soldier smacks the boy in the head with the butt of a rifle, knocking the boy out. It is then that the magnetic force between them goes away.

Cut forward to the "not too distant future", and Washington D.C. where an older man watches a debate between Senator Robert Kelly and activist Jean Grey. The issue being discussed is the "Mutant Registration Act" that would make it law for a mutant to reveal themselves and their powers. Robert Kelly uses gun registration as his reasons for this legislation, and that spurs the older man to leave. Another older man senses his presence, and confronts him in the hallway.

The man in the wheelchair reveals the other to be Erik Lehnsherr, who reveals the other to be Charles Xavier. Erik wishes to go by "Magneto", and they imply a past friendship with each other. Xavier hopes "Magneto" will leason to reason, but Magneto wants Xavier to see the humans today are no better than the Nazis of the past. Xavier wants Magneto to avoid starting a war, but to Magneto, the war has already begun.

Meanwhile, in Meridian, Mississippi, 17-year-old Marie D'Ancanto gets frisky with her boyfriend, and they start making out. However, something happens and the boyfriend starts having spasms! Marie panics, she realizes it's something about her touch. When her parents come in and check on the boyfriend, Marie shrieks for them to stay away from her, for fear she'd do the same to them.

Marie runs away and heads North into Canada. The trucker she hitched a ride with gets her to her destination, but it isn't at all what she expected. She goes to a bar, and watches a cage fight. The champion is going by the ring name, "Wolverine". Another challenger steps up, but the ring leader of this show warns him that--while the fight is no holds barred--don't hit below the belt. The challenger doesn't care, he goes in and fights Wolverine with no holding back. He does end up hitting Wolverine in the balls, but that only angers Wolverine more. Wolverine beats the man and wins his money.

After things settle down for the night, Wolverine joins Marie at the bar. The challenger Wolverine just beat is upset over his loss, he believes Wolverine is a "freak", a mutant. He tries to fight Wolverine again, but Wolverine pins him up against a post and reveals his razor-sharp metal claws! The bartender steps in and tells Wolverine to leave. Wolverine does, but Marie follows. She still needs a ride further into the North, so Wolverine reluctantly lets her join him. Wolverine's real name is "Logan", but Marie wants to go by "Rogue" now.
