Got it. I had a hard time keeping track with some of the different events (I'm sure the sleep deprivation also played a factor). Now that I think about it, I believe Jean Gray died twice?
Seems like the writers/directors were like "Oops, just kidding. We want to go with another story line."

Wolverine, the X-Men are initially shown fighting Wolverine because he is being controlled by the Weapon X program, which is trying to use his powers for destructive purposes, making him a threat to the team at that point; however, in later X-Men films, Wolverine becomes an ally and friend to the X-Men because he is eventually freed from Weapon X's control and chooses to use his abilities for good, aligning himself with the team's mission to protect mutants.

I'm wondering how Xavier (in his earlier days) couldn't reach out to Wolverine with Cerebro and having access to each mutant.
I was also wondering why Hugh Jackman only made cameo appearance in certain movies.
On a side note, Deadpool/Wolverine, a swing and a miss. I stopped watching about 30% into it and it seemed like the entire movie was created just to dog on Fox?
