What kind of role did the mutants of the X-Men franchise play throughout history? A new viral video called "25Moments" reveals the group’s presence throughout major world events. We see evidence of the mutants at Chernobyl, the Cuban missile crisis, and learn of the grip that Trask Industries (and Peter Dinklage’s Bolivar Trask) had over the government and other high-ranking officials.

The video is accompanied by some photos that rewrite history, showing the division of humans and mutants. They’re subtle, which is what makes them great. X-Men: Days of Future Past doesn’t drop into theaters until May 23, but enjoy this video that looks back at the events that determined the fate of a species.
