Hilton is referenced in #7 of Joss Whedon's superhero comic Astonishing X-Men; while discussing the amount of news coverage the X-Men receive after saving New York City from a giant monster, Emma Frost says "Thirty seconds! Thirty seconds of coverage after three minutes about that useless tart dancing topless at a party! As if that's remotely remarkable..." Colossus then asks "Who is the "Hilton" girl?", to which Beast replies "It doesn't matter. On a lot of levels."

In a world where prejudice prevails and injustice thrives, Marvel Comics’ X-Men serves as the most visible comic book to bring such issues to light. Stan Lee’s 37 year-old story, a classic pop-culture phenomenon, now tries to prove its mettle on the big screen. X-Men has emerged victorious, meeting the expectations of the most seasoned movie and comic-book purists who have observed its development with a critical eye. It’s perhaps the most exceptional comic-book-to-movie adaptation since the original Batman.

Summary: In X-Men: The Last Stand, the final chapter in the X-Men motion picture trilogy, a "cure" for mutancy threatens to alter the course of history. For the first time, mutants have a choice: retain their uniqueness, though it isolates and alienates them, or give up their powers and become human. The opposing viewpoints of mutant leaders Charles Xavier (Stewart), who preaches tolerance, and Magneto (McKellen), who believes in the survival of the fittest, are put to the ultimate test -- triggering the war to end all wars.

As the third installment of the X-Men series opens, the world has entered a relatively peaceful period for mutants. There's a mutant-tolerant president of the United States, a blue furry mutant named Beast (Kelsey Grammer) heading up the Department of Mutant Affairs, and Magneto's shape-shifting femme fatale, Mystique, has been captured. The tranquility is shattered by two events. Worthington Laboratories, using a powerful mutant boy, develops a serum that eliminates the 'mutant X gene' permanently. This so-called 'cure' quickly divides the mutant community; Professor Xavier (Patrick Stewart) and his school are willing to give the government the benefit of the doubt, but Magneto (Ian McKellen) and his mutant Brotherhood see the serum as a vile threat to their way of life. They form an army of mutants and march on the fortified Worthington Laboratory located on Alcatraz Island.
