Magneto (Ian McKellen), scarred by the human brutality he's
experienced, has come to believe the mutant race is superior
to humanity, and should rule over them as their betters, and
he's amassed a brotherhood of like-minded mutants to help

sentiment prevailing at every turn, the X-Men strive to protect
the very humans that fear and hate them.
