X-Men: First Class charts the epic beginning of the X-Men saga, and reveals a secret history of famous global events. Before mutants had revealed themselves to the world, and before Charles Xavier and Erik Lehnsherr took the names Professor X and Magneto, they were two young men discovering their powers for the first time. Not archenemies, they were instead at first the closest of friends, working together with other Mutants (some familiar, some new), to stop Armageddon. In the process, a grave rift between them opened, which began the eternal war between Magneto's Brotherhood and Professor X's X-Men.

The question is, does Shaw have a completely new set of powers in
X-Men: First Class or are these simply a new and interesting take on them by Matthew Vaughn? What do you think? Be sure to share your thoughts in the usual place!
Thanks to Moin Aziz Syyed (@Makenshi1985) for the heads up!
X-Men: First Class is set to be released in the UK on June 1st and in the US on June 2nd.
