The reason he didn't appear in X-Men: First Class were because the set was way too far from his location. And the reason he didn't appear in X2 was because of this. I guess the reason he didn't appear in X-Men Origins: Wolverine was because it wasn't an X-Men movie, but Wolverine's, who he didn't create/co-create. He also didn't appear in Blade, who he didn't create/co-create.

I guess his cameos in those other movies were just because. Let's remember he also had cameos in Heroes, Big Bang Theory, Eureka, Nikita and the Simpsons. Can't he be just famous?

I mean, it makes more sense he he didn't apper some Marvel movies because he didn't create the character (or didn't contribute importantly to them) than just because they're Marvel movies. If it was because they were just Marvel movies, other creators should've appeared, and it would make him look like an egocentric, IMO.
