They're associated with OsCorp, but they are they supposed to have their own developed personalities? Overstuffing a film with characters is a recipe for failure.

As for X2, it really only had Stryker. His son and Deathstrike were pretty much just goons devoid of any personality, and Magneto wasn't really a villain in it. He wasn't a hero, either, but he's closer to what Loki was T:TDW. Even then, Stryker and Magneto are just two characters. Three major villains is the important threshold.
