When Patrick Stewart approaches Professor Charles Xavier In Brian Singer's film "X-Men" in 2000, he admitted that he knew nothing about the character. He only knew that Professor H was a powerful telepath, which was often surrounded by superhero suits, which sounded unbearably boring to the actor. Stuart has just ended with a decade -long game, playing captain Picard at Star Trek: The Next Generation and wanted to take a break from science, fantasy, postal costumes and telepathy. However, he changed his mind when Singer explained that, despite the sport of similar bald heads, Captain Picard and Professor H were completely different characters and that "X-Men" was nothing like a "Starvist Trek". Stewart agreed. He will continue to play Professor H in several additional films.

Stewart's casting in the role of Charles Xavier has fulfilled many dreams. For years, X-Men fans have claimed that Stewart should play Professor X so his casting felt as if the universe was in harmony. Not only did Stuart look like the drawings of Professor F of the X-Men comics, but he also communicated the same Tacitan solution that possesses the character. Stewart settles both roles just felt right.

Indeed, the crossover between X-Men and "Star Trek" has already been really manifested several years before Singer's first film "X-Men". In 1998, author Michael Jan Friedman wrote A space for a space tie called "Planet X", A book in which several of the X-Men smeared in the future of the parallel universe, landing on the USS Enterprise-E bridge. Yes, that's real. Yes, I read it. Yes, it's silly as you expect.

The fans' service was everywhere in "Planet H." The storm and captain Picard flirted a little, while Wolverine had some fun interactions with Warf. Holy, there was a Holodek scene in which Dr -Krusher talked with a holographic version of Professor H. . Jackack Kirby (the wild genius behind "Eternal") And Steve Ditko, two of the most prominent artists working on Marvel Comics in the 1960s.

The story of "Planet C" refers to the events that take place on a distant planet called Xhaldia. Xhaldia seems to have been a phenomenon similar to the earth in the X-Men comics, with part of its citizenship suddenly and spontaneously mutated in superpower. This caused a social crisis on the planet, so Captain Picard was appointed to Xhaldia to investigate mutations, stifle growing violence and fight the new form of anti-mutant prejudice. Fortunately, during this mission, the aperture appears in space times, and X-Men took place, armed with wisdom what to do in this situation.

Perhaps predictable, then a kind of space villains - Dracakon - and kidnaps the superior Xhaldia mutants. The driver, in order to indoctrinate the mutant Xaldians in their destructive military force and then attack the federation.

Planet C features the so-called Golden Team of the X-Men, which means Stars' storms, Wolverine, Bansi, Jadak, Coloss and Archangel. Fans of characters like Cyclops, Rogue, Beast and Gambit will be disappointed. Well, as much as it can be disappointed, reading a top silly novel from the 90's, where X-Men live on the USS magic company. For Trekkies, the book comes after the events of "Star Trek: First Contact" in 1996, but before the movie "Star Trek: Uprising" in 1998.

For the real stickers, Warf mentions that he recently married Jajja Dax - an event from the sixth season of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine - in "Planet C". Why Warf is the company-is not satisfactory, except that he was driving the company on the way to a "planning session" (whatever it means).

"Planet C" is actually the third crossover event between X-Men and "Star Trek". In 1996 The story was put on the move after some disobedient Shyri Foreigners from the X-Men Universe used their powers to resurrect Gary Mitchell, a man who became semi-spirit in the original "Star Trek" pilot episode.

"Star Trek/X-Men" was followed in 1998 with a sequel called "Second Contact", in which X-Men accidentally traveled ahead of time instead of returning to their home universe. They, in turn, land on Enterprise-E by mistake, and Wolverine wonders if they are around "Kirk's people". "Planet C" technically serves as a pseudo-extension of "second contact", although those comics should not be read to understand the book. I assure you, nothing will help to understand the book. It is the highest order, and it can feel a little strongly read.

But you know, in a fun way.

Looking back, it is difficult to determine whether Stewart was already thrown like Charles Xavier before Friedman began writing "Planet C" (published in 1998). The story goes that director Richard Donner, who had He founded the Form of Contemporary Superhero Blockbusters with "Superman: The film" in 1978, He worked with Stuart on the 1997 movie Theory of Conspiracy, when the X-Men subject appeared. Donner, who eventually served as a producer of Singer's first film "X-Men", apparently asked Stewart, perhaps at the beginning of 1997, would he be interested in playing Professor H. How much did Friedman know?
