Arguably passes for the one line when Wolverine's girlfriend Kayla tells her sister to lead all the mutants out, she has to stay there and die tragically.

Sister is named in IMDB, but I'm not sure if I remember her name from the movie!

In the theatre credits, the character was listed as "Kayla's sister/Emma." I don't recall that they named her in dialogue (comics fans may have been expected to recognize her by her power?).

That's the feeling I got from the IMDB--they link the character to another movie where she's more fully fleshed out I assume.

Don't think it counts if the name's not in the movie, though, do you? Not positive they did or not, just because it would be so easy to slip a name in there when they're talking about her in scenes. (Part of the reason I think naming should only count if in movie!)

Yeah, I remember Stryker talking about her beautiful mutation, the diamond skin, but I don't remember her name! Heck, it's even possible Kayla called out her sister's name when they were reunited, though that probably would have been lost in a surge of scoring.

Emma Frost? I haven't seen the movie, but she's supposed to be in it, and I heard they cut out all of her powers except for the diamond skin.

It totally should not count unless a character's name is actually in the movie.

I don't remember hearing the sister's name either, but since she only had two or three lines that's not surprising!
