1Since ''Film/XMenFirstClass'' is a prequel in the X-Men film series, this was bound to happen.
2----
3* Xavier flirts with a girl who has heterochromia (where each eye is a different colour). In ''Film/X2XMenUnited'', Jason Stryker also has heterochromia.
4* Xavier's pick-up line, "[Mutation] has enabled us to evolve from a single-celled organism into the dominant species on the planet," comes directly from the voiceover at the beginning of ''Film/XMen1''.
5* [[Film/X2XMenUnited William Stryker]] is mentioned.
6-->'''Agent Stryker:''' I've seen this before at a magic show. Are you going to ask us to think of a number between one and ten now?
7-->'''Charles:''' No, Agent Stryker, although I could ask you about your son, William, who you were thinking about, which is very nice.
8* Charles doesn't know it yet, but he'll one day become a ChromeDomePsi.
9** There's a scene where Xavier uses the Cerebro prototype for the first time, and Hank struggles with fitting the electrodes on his head.
10--->'''Hank''': Are you sure we can't shave your head?\
11'''Charles''': [[NobodyTouchesTheHair Don't touch my hair]].
12** And near the end of the film, he jokes:
13--->'''Charles:''' I suppose I am a real professor now, aren't I? Next thing you know, I'll be going bald.
14* Magneto rejects Mystique's human disguises and tells her she looks perfect in her mutant form. In ''Film/XMenTheLastStand'', when she is hit with the cure and reverts to her human form, Magneto abandons her, saying "She used to be so beautiful."
15* When Mystique [[ReadyForLovemaking offers herself to Magneto]], he utters "Maybe in a few years." She promptly turns into Creator/RebeccaRomijn, the older Mystique.
16* When Hank [=McCoy=] finally finishes work on his appearance-changing serum, he calls it ''"[[Film/XMenTheLastStand the cure]]."''
17* Magneto killing Shaw with a coin in 1962 is a reference to him pushing a bullet into a policeman's forehead in ''Film/XMen1''.
18* Xavier's "For us, anonymity will be the first line of defense" sounds a lot like his line "Anonymity is a mutant's first chance against the world's hostility" from ''Film/XMen1''.
