Bolded - Wasn't this shown in the secret ending of X3? He transferred his consciouness to the comatose body of his twin brother that was being taken care by Dr. Moira. Why he has a comatose twin brother, that's never explained though.

Also, they gave Kitty the powers from Rachel Summers, the mutant that sent Kitty herself back in the comic version of DoFP. Maybe they didn't want to make such an important character just for DoFP. 

From what I understood from the movie, they needed Magneto because of Mystique. Since Charles could no longer reach her as she was too into Erik, they needed him to talk her out of killing Trask. That backfired massively though, because he's Magneto and he does what Magneto does best .

Is that was happened at the end of X3? I thought that was just John Doe comatose guy, not his twin. He had hair and a beard.

The Kitty having Rachel's powers annoyed me as a fanboy. They created Bishop, Sunspot, Thunderbird and Blink just for the future scenes, why not just have a character called 'Rachel' just no mention of her last name/heritage and each time, get Rachel to send Kitty back. Then at least it would have been more accurate to the original story and Rachel and Kitty's friendship.

I think they mentioned that guy being Charles twin in one of the audio commentaries of the DVD. Might have to re-check it again, since it could be just a regular john doe as you say. Though it would be odd for a regular john doe to have Charles's voice. Or any of Charles's mutant powers as well, unless he had the exact genetic makeup.

And yeah I agree with you regarding Kitty and Rachel. It was really a missed opportunity to not bring her into DoFP, even if it was without her Summers background.

And wow, reading that Twelve synopsys. They kill off Cyclops? Apocalypse rotting inside his own armor? The armor that's supposed to enhance his already godlike powers of rearranging every molecule of his body as he sees fit? Lots of bad story arcs there.
