Among the things you discover are the deaths of some key figures.What’s also interesting is that this viral campaign leads to another. While you’re getting a little history lesson you find out that Magneto has been implicated in the death of JFK and quite the conspiracy theory behind it. If you watch the video, it informs you to go to www.bentbullet.com where you watch a video that explores the theory and where Magneto stands on being incriminated. I should note that in this history, Magneto was imprisoned for the death of JFK and has been on lock down for most of his life. (Still a little foggy on where that leaves the X-Men movies before First Class.)You get some heavy hints as to who may have done it too and what could have happened if JFK had not been assassinated through clips and newspaper articles.The viral campaign definitely pushes the tensions between humans and mutants as being at the core of recent history. To find out for yourself get started over that the X-Tension to be able to view the alternate timeline.FREE MAGNETO!X-Men: Days do Future Past opens in theaters on May 23.
