* There are several catalysts for Storm's HeelFaceTurn in the final battle. Her confidence in the side she chose is shaken when she sees Apocalypse abandon Warren as useless. She realizes that he ''doesn't'' truly care for any of them, and is just using them for their powers. Mystique sacrificing herself in an effort to save Quicksilver is the final straw. However it's ''not'' the fact that the X-Men stand by and die for each other. It's the fact that ''Mystique'' — the woman she calls her hero, and whom she wishes she could be like — is standing against him.

The East Berlin cage match announcer introduces Nightcrawler as being from the Munich circus, so the entry doesn't quality for Fridge.
* The First Class trilogy explores three different aspects of Charles Xavier. In ''Film/XMenFirstClass'', he embodies serenity (which is a synonym for peace). In ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', his younger self is a lost soul who gradually finds hope again. In ''Apocalypse'', he wields an ability which is just as powerful (if not more so) than his telepathy--ThePowerOfLove. Peace, Hope and Love are Professor X in a nutshell. Furthermore, the climaxes of each movie are directly connected to the three most significant relationships in his life. In ''First Class'', he and his HeterosexualLifePartner Erik are "[[FanNickname divorced]]." In ''Days of Future Past'', Charles makes amends with his estranged foster sister Raven. In ''Apocalypse'', he strengthens his bond with surrogate daughter Jean. Break, Repair and Strength are also what his character undergoes at the end of each entry.
