Explained simply
The X-Men are a group of Marvel characters born with unusual powers, often feared or mistrusted because they are different. They are linked to Charles Xavier, who founded a school to help young mutants learn to use their abilities.
Mystique can change her appearance, while Nightcrawler can teleport and is known for his blue skin and tail. Both have appeared in X-Men comics, films and other Marvel stories, where mutants’ place in society is a recurring theme.
Avengers: Doomsday is a planned Marvel film that brings together characters from different parts of the franchise. The X-Men references matter because they point to mutants becoming part of the wider film series, though costumes and props alone do not explain how the characters fit into its story.
