The long-awaited moment is finally here: the X-Men are stepping into the heart of the MCU through ‘Avengers: Doomsday’. For years, fans have debated whether the mutants could seamlessly integrate into a universe already packed with gods, aliens, sorcerers, and super-soldiers.
However, now, with the launch of the latest Avengers TV special by Marvel, the answer is obvious: yes, they can. The new LEGO special ‘Avengers: Strange Tails‘ not only suggests their potential; it demonstrates beyond any doubt that the X-Men can take the biggest multiverse event of the MCU to a new level. And with the legendary Fox stars reprising their roles as Cyclops, Magneto, and Professor X, the MCU is finally prepared to have mutant mayhem on a grand scale.
‘LEGO Avengers: Strange Tails’ Shows Exactly Why The X-Men Will Work In ‘Doomsday’
The explosive, fast-paced opening of ‘LEGO Avengers: Strange Tails‘ is one of the highlights of the movie, as it pits Magneto and his Brotherhood of Mutants against the Avengers. It can be called cartoonish, comic, and stylistic. However, the truth of the matter is undeniable: the X-Men perfectly fit into the tone, power level, and narrative intensity of the Avengers. Right from the start, Magneto rules the metal battlefield with unparalleled supremacy.

Moreover, the Brotherhood’s chaos forces the Avengers to think fast and work together. Their confrontation is thrilling and visually charged. The Avengers struggle, something that rarely happens outside of cosmic threats. The dynamic works impressively even in LEGO form. Magneto’s appearance is a sufficient reason to raise the stakes, and that is exactly how it is supposed to be. Over the years, Magneto has been considered one of the most powerful characters in the entire history of Marvel.
The very sight of him fighting the Mightiest Heroes of the Earth, even in a comic manner, makes the viewers remember how frightening he could be when he is put in a serious live-action environment. And that is where ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ comes in. If the mutant-Avenger battle in the animated special is exciting, imagine that same energy amplified with real stakes, real consequences, and real-world destruction. The tone may differ, but the concept is the same, and it works.
X-Men’s Role In ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ Finally Makes Sense
Marvel is not merely throwing the X-Men into the MCU as fan service. The stakes are greater than ever before, whole worlds falling, invasions threatening several worlds, and Doctor Doom emerging as the new villainous lead character of the saga. This is precisely the type of storytelling that the X-Men excel in. The fact that we see Cyclops, Professor X, and Magneto, after twenty years, enter a world that can literally disappear into nothingness is a tragic touch.

The Fox universe has a lot of emotional history that fans are deeply attached to. So, putting all that legacy at risk generates instant tension. This isn’t just world-ending, it is universe-destroying. And that is an ideal arrangement of mutants who have always been afraid, at war, and morally complicated. The Avengers have dealt with gods and titans, but mutants are something different.
The power balance is shifted entirely with characters. Moreover, ‘Strange Tails’ is a reminder that even an animated Magneto can play with the Avengers like they’re toys. So, in ‘Doomsday’, the Avengers won’t just need strength. They’ll need strategy, unity, and humility. Moreover, the possibility of the X-Men and Avengers not meeting as allies is very thrilling.
