What was <PERSON> doing during X-Men:First Class?
In the 2011 superhero movie X-Men: First Class,
<PERSON> has a cameo while, in my own words, <PERSON> and Prof X are out recruiting X-Men.
First Class is set in 1962 during the Cuban Missile Crisis. But around that time, <PERSON> was supposed to be out fighting the Vietnam War (U.S. troops were deployed in 1961).
This leads me to wonder the exact time and place the above cameo scene takes place. <PERSON> looks worried about something (he seems busy with his own problems) and the events of X-Men Origins : Wolverine either haven't happened yet or are happening as they speak.
The following are the possibilities I've come up with:
* <PERSON> is still a soldier for the U.S. army and only about to be deployed to Vietnam along with his brother. 865
He is anxious and getting ready for the war.
* Him and <PERSON> were deployed in 1961, and <PERSON> has already killed his senior officer causing both <PERSON> and him to be shot at by a firing squad and then after they survived that, put in confinement. Then, it is plausible that the above scene sees a <PERSON> in the beginning years of his commitment to <PERSON>'s Team X.
Watching the movies didn't exactly help since X-Men are famous for screwing up continuity:
! More or less a decade after the events of First Class, according to Origins, <PERSON> gets his trademark adamantium claws and engages on a full on attack on <PERSON> and <PERSON> on Stryker's Island. During this time (1970s), Origins show <PERSON> as <PERSON>'s teenage sister (nix psychic powers) as opposed to the seductress we see working with <PERSON> in First Class. (sources now say they are different unrelated people) Then, we see a CGI young <PERSON> version of <PERSON> with working legs save the young mutants from Stryker's island which conflicts with him being confined to a wheelchair back in 1962 as seen in First Class.
All this makes things confusing.
This question also extends to what <PERSON> was doing in the 1960's when X-Men: Days of Future Past happened. He seemed like he wasn't doing anything.
So, what was <PERSON> doing in the 1960's ? Answers from all earth's similar to the movie universe (which earth is that btw) are welcome :D 167
