X-Men: The Last Stand & First Class anomalies

I recently watched the latest X-Men movie (First Class). It is by far the best of the series. But the end brings some anomalies with the beginning of the third movie (Last Stand).
SPOILERS AHEAD!
The majority of First Class is set in 1962 during the Cuban missile crisis. At the end of the movie Charles/Prof X still has hair, loses the ability to walk, parts ways with Erik/Magneto and starts his school.
The prologue of Last Stand is set "20 years ago" (the majority of the movie is set "in the not too distant future", so this should be in the 80s), where a bald and walking Charles goes with Erik to visit Jean Grey's parents and talk to them about his school.

I think there are two possible explanations for these anomalies.
1) Each od these two movies is set in its own universe, while the other three are set in either or both.
2) Some time after the events of First Class Magneto takes his helmet off and returns to Xavier. Xavier installs some kind of iron exoskeleton and sends telepathic signals to Magneto who in turn uses his powers to move the exoskeleton.

School's out!

For more than a week now, but haven't had the will to post it :D I finished all of my exams so I'm free until October. Except for that one day in September when I have to enrol. But until then I have lots of free time.
I borrowed some Discworld books from the library, I started playing SimCity4 and I plan on doing some programming for fun. And watch movies.
