(That first post-credits scene, people more in the know than me identify them as Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch; they're mutants in the comics, right? But there was something about volunteers in the scene, so maybe they're experimented-on instead? (That was Loki's staff, right? I was pretty tired by the end.))
They're definitely mutants in the comics, but Marvel Studios doesn't have rights to the X-men; it's with Fox. However, the twins were early Avengers, so that's how they're probably getting them in. For this world, it makes sense that they'd be making them meta-humans instead. Though the staff could have just awoken their mutant potential.
Was that what's his face, the guy with the shock sticks who was sad about disappointing Cap and fighting Falcon, being all burned and treated at the end? I assumed so but now I'm not sure.
Yeah, that's my guess as well. Brock Rumlow, who's also known as Crossbones.
(Speaking of misleading, I flat-out squeaked when Pierce's "your work has shaped the century" line turned out to be to the Winter Soldier. Awesome.)
