UPDATE: X-MEN: APOCALYPSE Viral Sites Launch

Though there's nothing official from the actual movie, two websites promoting Bryan Singer's next X-flick have launched. One is a Tumblr page seeking to unite the world's genetically gifted, and the other is a more militant site, aiming to expose the anti-mutant population.

Congratulations to Jason, our 2012 winner in the Search for The World’s Gifted Sweepstakes! Above, you’ll find his original submission along with a photo of his hydro-augmentation powers in action!



“When I was six years old, my dad and I went to a baseball game. During the fourth inning, it started to downpour. I wanted the rain to stop, so I stared at the sky and tried to will the storm away. Within seconds, the clouds dissipated and the game was back on. The PA announcer called it a miracle, but I knew that I was the one that caused the rain to stop. Ever since then, I’ve tried to strengthen my powers: I can usually move a rain drop out of the way before it even hits my head.”


In some very early viral promotion for X-Men: Apocalypse, two Tumblr pages have launched. The first is Tandem Initiative: A page seeking to unite mutants (or "genetically gifted" as they're referred to here) the world over. You can join up, load a picture, tell your story and also check out some images of others displaying their powers. The other is M-Underground: This page exists to "expose those who wish to create a rift between humans and the genetically gifted." There are images, reports and videos highlighting the various ways in which mutants have been made out to appear as a threat to humanity. Oh, and it seems JFK wasn't the only mutant in the Kennedy family! Below are some highlights but be sure to visit and take a look for yourselves.


Congratulations to Celine, our 2013 winner in the Search for The World’s Gifted Sweepstakes! Check out her original submission, as well as a photo of her showing off her telekinetic powers, above!
“I’ve always been able to use my mind to make objects move around. You can imagine how much of a handful I was as a baby! We went through dozens of cribs because every time I didn’t want to go to bed, I’d just tip the whole thing over! My parents are older now, so I use my abilities a bit more responsibly: putting away laundry, bringing in groceries, helping around the house, things like that. They joke that I need to start paying them back for all those years I took off their life when I was younger!”





UPDATE: So word is that these sites are actually to promote the X-Men: Days Of Future Past Blu-ray release, and not the next movie, Apocalypse. Either way, doesn't alter the message or the content

Starring Michael Fassbender, James McAvoy, Nicholas Hoult and Jennifer Lawrence (among others), X-Men: Apocalypse will be directed by Bryan Singer and is set for release May 27, 2016.

If they set these events in the 80's it would've been much easier to tie into the film. However I do respect the effort placed into this project. Not bad.

SuperCat has an extra chromosome. Does that make him genetically gifted?

I see psychotherapist/bluewaffle/tampontunnel/yougavemeherpes is still on his quest to report every CBM comment.

He's the new DannyBoy.

The GF won't let me buy one. I am going to have the ability to complain about that until I get to do what I want.

The video says it's August 23, 2011? Isn't it supposed to be in the 80's?

I'm confused...

I guess they'll re-cannon that now... ;P

hahahhahaha I know that's right Gusto. We also have a dog now so I sometimes get to sleep on the foot of the bed.

@Mexican - I would borrow his vans, but I don't feel like explaining all that DNA to the cops.
