  • X-Men: First Class:
    • After its release, there was a deluge—or tsunami, if you prefer—of "Cherik" (Charles/Erik) fanfics, to the point where it would be impossible to read every one of them in a single lifetime.

    • "Beastique" for Beast/Mystique.
  • X-Men: Days of Future Past:
    • There has been a small, but noticeable increase in "Xavierine" (Xavier/Wolverine◊) shippers thanks to James McAvoy and Hugh Jackman sharing a lot of screentime together. It's a Mentor Ship that works both ways because Logan counsels the younger Charles in this movie, but Professor X is Wolverine's mentor in the original trilogy.
    • One doesn't even have to choose between Cherik and Xavierine; there is "Cherigan" for Charles/Erik/Logan.
  • X-Men: Apocalypse:
    • "Charpocalypse" for Charles/Apocalypse, although it should be noted that the shippers are more likely to use the Mr. Fanservice Oscar Isaac-looking version of En Sabah Nur for their fanfics than his creepy blue form.
