There are many, many ways that the movie is different from the actual mainstream continuity of the comics. For one, the school has far more mutants in it than the casts of Uncanny, X-Men, Generation X, and the Hellions/New Mutants/X-Force kids combined.
The team in the movie consists of Cyclops, Jean Grey, and Storm, all led by Xavier. In movie continuity, Cyclops and Jean are not yet married (though they share a room in the mansion), and Jean is a doctor. Wolverine and Rogue first meet in Canada, instead of meeting when Rogue runs away from the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants and comes knocking at Xavier's door.
Rogue, in the regular comics, has the powers of flight and invulnerability, which she gained from Ms. Marvel (Avengers Annual #10). She's also had her distinctive white stripe from the get-go. Furthermore, the Rogue of the comics has *never* revealed her real name on-panel, and it's strongly
believed that if anyone knows it other than Rogue's original parents, it would be Mystique (Rogue's foster mother) or Destiny (Mystique's long-time companion).
The Toad of the comics was always an Igor-like hunchback to Magneto, and usually did little more than jump around uttering annoying lines. The Toad of the movie, however, can climb walls much more efficiently, has a strong tongue that can grasp items, and a rather nasty ooze.

Quite a few cameos of (and homages to) familiar characters appear in the movie. They are:
- Bobby: Bobby Drake is Iceman, an American adult who can create ice and snow from the moisture in the air, and travel on created ice-slides. He was a founding member of the X-Men.
- Kitty: Kitty Pryde is Shadowcat, a Jewish-American teenager who can phase through walls and short-ciruit any electronics she passes through. She's currently an X-Man.
- John: St. John Allerdyce is Pyro, an Australian adult villain who can control, but *not* generate, any fire or flame. He was a member of Freedom Force and the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants.
- Jubilee: Jubilation Lee is Jubilee, a Chinese-American teenager who can make colorful fireworks and small explosions. Known for her yellow jacket, she's currently a member of Generation X.
- Colossus: Piotr Rasputin is Colossus, a Russian adult who can turn his entire body into organic steel. He's an artist, and is currently an X-Man. He can be seen in the opening mansion scenes sketching near the lily pond and basketball court.
