Thanks to X-Men: Days of Future Past we know that President John F. Kennedy was a mutant. Magneto (Michael Fassbender) tried to save him, but he was apprehended before he could stop Lee Harvey Oswald’s bullet. When Wolverine (Hugh Jackman), Professor X (James McAvoy), Beast (Nicholas Hoult) and Quicksilver (Evan Peters) broke him out of a Pentagon prison, Magneto insisted that he tried to save JFK because he was “one of us.”

What if Robert F. Kennedy was a mutant as well? According to the X-Men viral campaign, “Kennedy Curse,” he was and he was assassinated because of it. Hit the jump to see more from RFK’s “Mutants Are Among Us” file. X-Men: Days of Future Past is currently available digitally and will arrive on DVD and Blu-ray on October 14th.

RFK had the ability to absorb memories from those around him making it a challenge to be amongst crowds. In order to safeguard his power and ensure RFK’s stability, the US Government and Tandem/Trask did what they could to help him keep it under control. Check out the tactics they used below:
