Robert Kelly

Because it's

got Senator Kelly as the Baron, right? Right.

Yes, with like a big green coat and chariots pulled by, what is it, like Alan Moore, Captain Britain, like war dogs? Yeah,

it's using the premise.

A, Professor Xavier.

B, Senator Kelly.

C, William Stryker.

Or D, Cameron Hodge.

Don't worry about it.

I can't tell you what it is.

I'm going to say Senator Kelly.

You're going to say B, Senator Kelly.

Oh, wow.

And there was even a Senator Kelly where he was, like, the rubber man.

It was ridiculous.

And I think either the Mystique or, like, the Logan toy, whatever it was, you could change the face that it, like, smiled or something.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So then we get Jean testifying and she's talking about the Mutant Registration Act and Senator Kelly pushes her and Charles is watching and they have that conversation, he and Magneto, the first time you kind of see them on screen together.

The dynamic between the two of them is perfect.

We've talked about this story a lot, especially recently.

But they're going to try to kill Senator Robert Kelly.

It's not going to work.

Eventually, Mystique will see an opportunity to be wolves in sheep's clothing, right? It's a lot like mobsters in the 70s, 80s.

T- take that, X-Men.

Senator Kelly [laughs] is out there right now.

Uh, so let's talk about Sanguinius' Warmaster, because before the Horus Heresy, the Imperium was at the height of what was called the Great Crusade.

This was expanding the Imperium of Man under the Em- under the Emperor.

... and then the bad guy whose head had two faces.

That's voiced by Len Carlson, who played Senator Kelly.

Len Carlson was still alive when-

It was his last major role.

...

Senator Robert Kelly played by-

Correct

...

I'm gonna send you guys to go get him and, and bring him in.

It'd be better if we find him than, you know, the police or, or whatever." Um, and then from there, we actually check in on the president, who's meeting with Senator Kelly, who we know is Mystique from the end of the last movie, and this is when we are introduced to Stryker.

He comes in.

He's talking to the president.

He asks for the president's authorization to raid a school facility in New York that they believe is housing dangerous mutants that could possibly be tied to the attack.

And, uh, that's when Senator Kelly realizes that this guy has access to Magneto, and that obviously piques Mystique's interest.

Uh, we then go back to the mansion, where we see Logan arriving, 'cause obviously he didn't find anything in Canada, so he's decided to come home.

He sees Storm.

Project Wideawake is the earthly conflict.

In the original comics, right after the X-Men first clashed with the Hellfire Club, a villain named Sebastian Shaw pitched a revived Sentinel program to Senator Robert Kelly.

And Sentinels, for the uninitiated, are the giant multi-story mutant-hunting robots.

They are the ultimate symbol of human prejudice in the X-Men universe.
