* AdaptationalWimp: In the comics, "John Sublime" is the latest alias of a sentient colony of bacteria so old it predates the human race itself. In this game he's just a generic U-Man that injects himself with stolen mutant genes and roids out on the player character.

Exodus as a Brotherhood telepath also would have been a smart inclusion, since as-is the player character is stuck with Emma Frost [[ButThouMust regardless of what faction they choose]].

Despite much of the game's promotion being based around choice, the actual player has very little choice in the plot, which plays out pretty much the same for both factions regardless of what choices you make. The only things that change are the characters you fight alongside and the responses you get from the villains.

X-Men: Destiny (2011) is an ''XMen'' video game developed by SiliconKnights and published by {{Activision}}.
After a series of natural disasters, plagues and economic downturns, mutant-human tensions are at an all time high, with a mutant-hating organization called the Purifiers springing up all over the world. Professor X is killed by the mutant-killing machine Bastion, and the X-Men splinter apart after the mansion comes under attack. San Francisco has begun segregating humans and mutants into separate areas of the city. At a human-mutant peace rally, hell breaks loose when {{Magneto}} (allegedly) launches a terrorist attack, bringing the world to the brink of war.
The player takes control of one of three characters created for the game, whose mutant powers manifest for the first time at the peace rally: Aimi Yoshida, a Japanese girl who was smuggled to America by her mutant parents to protect her from harm; Adrian Luca, a Purifier soldier-in-training coming to terms with the realization that he is one of the mutants he so hates; or Grant Alexander, a small town boy from Georgia with dreams of being a college football player. The player can choose from one of three powersets ([[InstantArmor density control]], [[PureEnergy energy manipulation]] and [[CastingAShadow shadow matter]]) and use "X-genes" to [[MegaManning gain the powers of various characters from the franchise.]]
With these newfound powers, the new mutant must survive in the devastated San Francisco, unravel the conspiracy bringing humans and mutants to war, and choose their destiny by joining either the X-Men or the Brotherhood.
