On the UK Facebook page for X-Men: First Class, a new game called ‘X-Men: First Class Hashtag Battle', has been set up in order to build support for either of the two main protagonists from the upcoming Matthew Vaugn helmed prequel.

Collecting data from Twitter, they aggregate the number of tweets containing the #hashtag for Charles Xavier (#CharlesXavier) and Erik Lehnsherr (#ErikLehnsherr ) by Tweeting "Killing will not bring you peace" for the former and "Peace was never an option" for the latter.



And here's how the results currently stand.

As the film is set in 1962 shouldn't it read "Witness the moment that CHANGED our world..."?
