In 1997 a mutant survivor of the holocaust named Eric Lensherr starts to realize that humans will never accept mutants and so he starts fight for mutant rights alongside his friends Charles Xavior and Raven Darkholme. Eventually he and Raven are arrested but Charles uses his mind control to make the police let him go and decides he would rather fight for peace than superiority. From that moment forward Eric's hatred towards Charles grew stronger than ever and once he broke him and Raven out of prison, they started an alliance called the Brotherhood of Mutants. In the post credit scene, we see 6 years later in present day 2003, Eric watching as Spider-Man takes down the Sinister Six and Eric thinks to himself that protecting humans is pointless as he turns to a man in a black coat with an eyepatch and asks him why he wants to make a team of mutants to protect humanity. The man with eyepatch turns to Eric and calmly says heroes, I'm looking for heroes not mutants.
