Interesting Quote: Bryan Singer

“Yes, the timeline is different. It wouldn’t physically fit for him to be the brother of Cyclops. We take some liberties on that. There are notions, but, um, I don’t want to give away certain interrelations, but let’s just say there are some things that do adhere to the comic books and do so in a way the fans will get a kick out of. And those things can, perhaps, move forward into the future…. That’s one reason we wanted to call the film ‘First Class’ even though it isn’t the [Jeff Parker-penned story arc called] ‘First Class’ in the comics as fans know it. You couldn’t really tell that story without going even earlier and explaining how they got there and how it came to be. I liked the title, so we kept it, but this is a prelude in a way that will eventually lead to the [scenarios] that fit in more clearly with the ‘First Class’ comics and situations.”

That is not a good explanation. Why wouldn't they be brothers? (although they were put up for adoption, I think, so it might work out in the end.)
But still, Bryan made the 1st X-Men movie. So why didn't he do a good ground work THEN!?

@Mecha-I hate to say it, but you KNOW he's gonna make Havok his Dad or something. Completely remove the brother and Corsair thing. Which would explain why Havok's blasts are red like Cyclops eye blasts rather then the yellow/white they are in the comics. Which also means their's a good chance he'll get somebody pregnant and die in this flick as well.
