"Congressional investigators seeking evidence of an improper relationship between Trask Industries and the Nixon White House are stymied when they discover that 18½ minutes of a meeting between Bolivar Trask and President Nixon have been completely erased."20th Century Fox by [Matt Vella](/author/matt-vella/) ## Matt Vella Update your preferences in [Account Settings](/account/preferences/) Close Apr 16, 2014 4:23 PM CUT The next installment in the X-Men franchise, [_Days of Future Past_](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1877832/ "undefined"), is close at hand — and that means the hype machine is being kicked into eighth gear. Twentieth Century Fox’s latest gambit is [25Moments.com](http://www.25moments.com/ "undefined"), a “fictional experience from the world of X-Men.” The micro-site is intended to set the stage for the new film, in which various X-people travel through time to find themselves (literally). The result is an alternate history lesson in which President Nixon chills with giant killer robots and babies are born made of metal thanks to the Chernobyl disaster. Is it a tedious, viral click-through? Yes. Is it amazing? Also yes. Here’s a closer look at some of the best shots from the site.  "During a pivotal moment in the Cold War, missiles launched near Cuba allegedly malfunction due to an unidentified group with unexplained powers." 20th Century Fox  "The mutant known as Magneto is implicated in the assassination of John F. Kennedy by a witness on the grassy knoll. Magneto denies direct involvement, sparking the 'Free Magneto' movement." 20th Century Fox  "The Chernobyl nuclear power plant melts down, causing a spike in premature mutant expressions for generations." 20th Century Fox ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/65153/x-men-25-moments-history-photos/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/65153/x-men-25-moments-history-photos/"},"headline":"If You're a Nerd, This Is the Best Web Site on the Internet Right Now","datePublished":"2014-04-16T16:23:20.000Z","dateModified":"2026-05-11T05:08:28.257Z","description":"As long as you're an X-Men fan","url":"https://time.com/65153/x-men-25-moments-history-photos/","keywords":["movies","X-Men"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt5630d9ea686896b9/69868aec06f2c1793b32e6b5/1972.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Matt Vella","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/matt-vella/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt5630d9ea686896b9/69868aec06f2c1793b32e6b5/1972.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"1972","caption":"\"Congressional investigators seeking evidence of an improper relationship between Trask Industries and the Nixon White House are stymied when they discover that 18½ minutes of a meeting between Bolivar Trask and President Nixon have been completely erased.\"","creditText":"20th Century Fox","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/movies/","name":"movies"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/65153/x-men-25-moments-history-photos/","name":"If You're a Nerd, This Is the Best Web Site on the Internet Right Now"}}]}] ```
