More X2 goodness (minor spoilers)

[khaosworks]

Seen in the drop-down menu (notes added for the benefit of those not totally au fait with the X-Men mythos) are:

Guthrie (2) refers to the Guthrie siblings, Sam Guthrie (Cannonball) and Paige Guthrie (Husk).
Harada, Keniucho is the Silver Samurai.
Kane, Garrison was, at one point, Weapon X.
LeBeau, Remy is Gambit.
Lensherr, Eric M. is Magneto.
Maddicks, Artie is Artie, who was mute, but could telepathically transmit holograms of his thoughts to communicate.
Madrox, Jamie is Madrox, the Multiple Man.
Manh, X'ian Coy is Karma.
Maximoff (2) refers to Wanda and Pietro Maximoff, the Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver respectively (and Magneto's children).
McTaggart, Kevin is Proteus, the son of Dr Moira McTaggart (and I believe the illegimate son of Charles Xavier, but that's just me).
Moonstar, Danielle is, well, Moonstar, also known as Mirage, and Psyche. Went through a lot of changes, that girl.
Munroe, Ororo is Storm.

Seen as folders are:

Franklin Richards, son of Reed and Sue Richards, Mr Fantastic and the Invisible Woman respectively.
Omega Red is Arkady, a Soviet super-agent and bad guy in the comics, and an enemy of Wolverine's.
Muir Island is the location of Dr McTaggart's research facility.
Project Wideawake was the government sponsored project that revived Bolivar Trask's Sentinels, giant mutant-hunting robots.
Department H was the branch of Canadian Intelligence dealing with super-humans, and sponsored the Canadian super-human group Alpha Flight, and part of Wolverine's back story.

Also, on the TV screen when Mystique is hitting on the hapless security guard in the bar, is Dr. Henry McCoy (The Beast) apparently speaking to, off screen, someone named Shaw (likely Sebastian Shaw, aka the Black King of the Hellfire Club).

I've been corrected repeatedly and loudly that Proteus isn't Charles' kid, but rather Moira's kid with her first husband (Mr. MacTaggart). Yes, I thought he was Chuck's too, but they claim they have massive textual references. :->

Well, this is really just my own belief, which I admit is at best purely circumstantial. Officially, Proteus was the son of Moira and Joseph MacTaggart. However, given his power levels - I mean the kid could warp reality - which were comparable if not superior to Legion (Charles' son) I felt he was more likely the son of some powerful mutant, and Charlie fit the bill nicely.
