This would have flown under my radar if I didn’t catch a Comic Vine article about two mysterious websites that hint at people with extraordinary abilities, aka mutants.

The first site, is for Tandem, an organization that’s looking for people with abilities. The second recently launched, and is called M-Underground. Its focus is whether Senator Ted Kennedy was a mutant.

In the lead up to this summer’s release of X-Men: Days of Future Past, 20th Century Fox launched numerous sites to promote the film, including one for character Bolivar Trask’s company Trask Industries, and another looking into the conspiracy theory of who killed President Kennedy and whether it was Magneto that was involved.

The latter of the two new sites with its Kennedy reference is clearly connected to the film, as it’s discussed in the movie that Magneto was trying to protect President Kennedy because Kennedy was a mutant. That bending of history is now extended to his brother Ted (As a side note, I used to work for Senator Kerry and met Sen. Kennedy many times. He was such a nice guy).

But, if you go into the source code, we get more proof this is more site launched by Fox to promote the upcoming Blu-Ray of the film which comes out in October. The first site has 20th Century Fox in the source code. The second has “X-Men” and “X-Men Days of Future Past” in the meta data.

No conspiracy here, just Fox doing more cool things to promote the X-Men franchise.
