Thinking about it, one of the issues with comparing the MCU to the X-Men's backstories is that the MCU characters are all individual franchises unto themselves. Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, Hulk and Antman have all had their own individual movies to flesh out the characters and give non-fans an introduction to who they are. Saving the team-up movies for development and action.
The X-Men, other than Wolverine, pretty much come as a team, and with so many characters, it's difficult to introduce each character in the films, whilst giving us an in-depth look at who they are and then to develop where they're going.
I mean, Captain America and Iron work as solo movies... you think anyone would give a shit about a Cyclops solo film? Or a Storm movie? They gotta make do with what they can.
