In 1944, at the Auschwitz concentration camp, Nazi officer Klaus Schmidt witnesses a young Erik Lehnsherr bending a metal gate with his mind upon being separated from his parents.

Charles notices this due to his telepathic powers, and the young mutants revel in the thought of finding someone else with abilities.

Threatened by Shaw and teleported to the Joint War Room, Hendry advocates deploying nuclear missiles in Turkey.
