* TooDumbToLive: After Wolverine survives the adamantium bonding process, they were prepared to repeat the process on 'Sabretooth', which was never going to end well for anyone.

* KilledOffscreen: According to Lady Deathstrike, he was by Logan during his berserker rampage at the Weapon X facility,

* KillerRobot: Talos is a robot designed to "recapture" Team X, is also programmed to kill them if they resist.

* NoNameGiven: Is only referred to as "Professor," never Truett Hudson.
[[/folder]]

* {{Expy}}: His closest comic counterpart is President Reneau, the leader of Genosha during the country's period of mutant slavery.

* DemotedToExtra: She has a small role in "Sanctuary, Part I" leading the Genoshan Magistrates, compared to her larger role as a Genoshan leader in the comics.

* AdaptationJobChange: From Yakuza boss in the comics to a member of Weapon X.

* DemotedToExtra: She has a small role in "Sanctuary, Part I" leading the Genoshan Magistrates.

** In the BadFuture in "One Man's Worth", some of the heroes encounter some enforcers, which are basically super Sentinels that are [[PaletteSwap blue-green in color]]. Just two of them are so powerful that Wolverine, Storm, and Bishop fighting together can barely beat ''two'' of them.

[[folder:Genosha]]

!!!Unaffiliated

* KarmaHoudiniWarranty: The original show ends with Genosha still an oppressive state, but by '''97'' that government has been toppled and replaced with a Mutant run one.

!!General Chasen
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/general_chasen_x_men_tas.png]]
%%[[caption-width-right:350:some caption text]]
* GeneralRipper: He seems to think Canada is in some sort of Cold War with America, since he views Logan leaving to join the X-Men as him "defecting", and orders him recovered by force so that Department H can study him to make more superweapons. It's pretty clear he doesn't give a damn about Logan as an individual or a living being.
* ItsAllAboutMe: The General clearly took Logan leaving Department H personally, because it reflected badly on him.
* KarmaHoudini: He's still alive by the end of "Repo Man", having not gotten what he wanted and Alpha Flight having learned how scuzzy he is, but there's no clue as to whether anything more will happen to him.

[[folder:The Phalanx]]
* {{Expy}}: Just a little bit of [[Franchise/StarTrek the Borg]] in them, with their stated goal being assimilating everyone into "perfection".
* MechanicalAbomination: The central hub of the Phalanx is a giant tendril of mechanical matter with wailing heads extending from it.
* PullingThemselvesTogether: Smash up a Phalanx, and they'll just pull themselves back together.
* ResistanceIsFutile: To go with the Borg thing, not to mention "you will be assimilated".

[[caption-width-right:350:''"A small price to pay for perfection."'']]
[[caption-width-right:350:[[labelnote:Click here to see his Phalanax form]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/phalanxhodge_1.jpg[[/labelnote]]]]

* AdaptationalWimp: Comics Hodge is completely immortal (or as good as) thanks to a DealWithTheDevil, and is a formidable opponent to the X-Men thanks to a mechanical exoskeleton. Show Hodge is mercifully nowhere near as dangerous.
* AnArmAndALeg: He survived getting swept away by a tidal wave, though at the evident cost of... well, an arm and a leg.
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: He first appears as Beast's lawyer. By his second appearance, however, he collaborates with the Genoshan government in the exploitation of mutants.
* CyberneticsEatYourSoul: Although Professor X isn't even certain there was any humanity for him to lose in the first place.
* FauxAffablyEvil: In "Phalanx Covenant", he maintains a sincere attitude despite his sheer monstrous insanity.
-->'''Hodge:''' The beard is a new look, Magneto. It suits you.
* FullyEmbracedFiend: Utterly onboard with the Phalanx goals of assimilating all non-Phalanx, and he's driven to despair at the thought of being brought down to plain flesh and blood again.
* FaceHeelTurn: In his first appearance he's Beast's attorney. In his next appearance he's a villain and a representative of the Genoshan government.
* HumansAreTheRealMonsters: The Phalanx are monstrous, but Hodge's motivation for helping them is so petty and ''insane'' they absolutely pale in comparison.
* OmnicidalManiac: His goal with the Phalanx is to eventually get them to consume all organic life. After all, that way there'll be no more mutants ''anywhere''.
* TheQuisling: Hodge completely willingly sells mankind out to the Phalanx.

[[folder:Genosha]]

* KarmaHoudiniWarranty: The original show ends with Genosha still an oppressive state, but by '''97'' that government has been toppled and replaced with a Mutant run one.
* LighterAndSofter: Not quite as monstrously "South African Apartheid with the dial turned up to eleven" horrific as the comic version. Mutants are enslaved, but here they at least get to kill their minds and free will, rather than being turned into [[EmptyShell Mutates]]. They also don't go out of their way to hunt down Mutants to take back to Genosha.
* PeoplesRepublicOfTyranny: It's the ''Free Republic'' of Genosha. Free for humans, that is. Mutants? Not remotely.
* SchmuckBait: Mutants are welcome on Genosha! The minute they get there, they're captured, enslaved, and put to work.

[[folder:Weapon X]]

* CrazyPrepared: While they were surprised by things going wrong, they also had preparations for if and when it would happen, and if Team X ever returned to the facilities.
* GoneHorriblyWrong: Bonding that adamantium to Wolverine worked alright. Didn't even take him a minute to use it to break out of the lab.
* KillerRobot: Talos, their robot designed to "recapture" Team X, is also programmed to kill them if they resist.
* TakingYouWithMe: On the off chance Team X might've been able to destroy Talos, it's programmed to mash their [[TraumaButton Trauma Bottons]] while a second activates and finishes the job.
* TooDumbToLive: After their success with Wolverine, they were prepared to repeat the process on ''Sabretooth'', which was never going to end well for anyone.

[[folder:Lady Deathstrike]]
!!Lady Deathstrike / Yuriko Oyama
-->'''Voiced by:''' Tasha Simms.
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lady_deathstrike.jpg]]

* AdaptationalSympathy: Zigzagged. She still wants to kill Logan, but in the comics her reasoning was much less sound, blaming Logan for getting the adamantium bonded to his skeleton simply because she thought the process was based on her father's work. Here, she has the legitimate grief that Logan ''did'' kill her father, even if it overlooks some mitigating circumstances (like, for example, the fact her father was experimenting on Logan).
* CompositeCharacter: With Mariko Yashida.
* CreepilyLongArms: Her cybernetic modifications mean her arms are now super-elongated past the elbow, never mind that her hands and fingers are many times their natural size.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: She cares about the Reavers, and is horrified when the Soul-Drinker consumes them.
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: She's become so warped she can't understand ''why'' Logan would risk his life to save total strangers from getting their souls eaten.
* FemmeFatalons: Thanks to some cybernetic enhancements, her fingers are now unnaturally long, and capable of extending further for the purposes of clawing.
* IOweYouMyLife: Much as she may want revenge on Logan, when he saves her from the Soul-Drinker, she acknowledges she owes him, and therefore will not kill him... ''today''.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: No application of NeverSayDie for her.
* PsychoExGirlfriend: Before the whole Weapon X debacle, Logan and Yuriko had a thing together. Now Yuriko has become Lady Deathstrike in order to kill Wolverine.
* ThatManIsDead: She's quite emphatic to Logan that Yuriko is gone now.
* YouKilledMyFather: Wants to kill Wolverine on account of killing her father in his escape from Weapon X.

[[folder:Juggernaut]]
!!Juggernaut / Cain Marko
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/RickBennet
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jugger.jpg]]

* BerserkButton: Don't ''ever'' call him a mutant. He is a regular human powered by a mystical gem.
* TheBrute: He has extreme SuperStrength, being able to punch a ''tank'' in two. He's also NighInvulnerable, his only weakness is mental attacks, and a wears a helmet that lets him NoSell them unless it's removed.
* TheBully: He's little more than an overgrown schoolyard bully, who just smashes anything that irritates him, and takes whatever he wants by force. Even as a kid he was a BigBrotherBully to Xavier.
* DumbMuscle: He's not very bright, and, fittingly, his weakness is psychic attacks.
* FreudianExcuse: Xavier's stepfather was an {{abusive|Parents}} GoldDigger who was really mean to Cain Marko (his original name) and viewed him as TheUnfavorite, which led to his enmity with Charles and general villainy.
* TheJuggernaut: In his debut, he destroys tanks, defeats Colossus, shrugs off Storm dropping a building on him, and even Rogue's energy draining power doesn't affect him because he has too much power for her to handle. After Jubilee mistakenly assumes getting a building dropped on Juggernaut killed him, Storm explains she knew that wouldn't work because nothing the X-Men know of can kill him. One would expect nothing less from the TropeNamer.
* {{Leitmotif}}: He has a very ominous three-note "song" that's played when's on-screen or being discussed. For some reason, it only shows up in his first episode.
* PetTheDog: In "Return Of The Juggernaut" someone steals the Ruby Of Cyttorak, and Juggernaut is BroughtDownToNormal, and eventually starts dying. The X-Men get the Ruby back, and Juggernaut just leaves without wrecking anything or hurting anyone. While this would usually be considered basic human decency, it's a surprisingly nice OutOfCharacter moment for him, and Xavier even says it's "his way of saying thank you."
-->'''Wolverine:''' ''(extends his claws)'' Make your move, tough guy!\\
'''Juggernaut:''' Another time, short stuff! When I'm in the mood. ''(leaves)''
* ThrewMyBikeOnTheRoof: His [[EstablishingCharacterMoment first act in the series]] is to demolish Xavier' school, basically just to be a dick.
* TheWorfEffect: While Juggernaut initially appears unstoppable to anything short of a psychic attack, he is flattened by Gladiator to demonstrate how strong the alien is, and by extension, the danger of the [=Shi'ar=].

[[folder:The High Evolutionary]]
!!The High Evolutionary

* AllThereInTheManual: Is never actually identified by name in "Family Ties".
* EvilutionaryBiologist: He turns animals into ani-men, and wants to use a mixture of Magneto, Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch's powers so he can speed up the process, iron out the kinks and risk of failure, and then create a world free of sin.
* KarmaHoudini: He accomplishes his goal in "Family Ties" and escapes, after having caused a considerable amount of pain to Magneto and the twins, and is never seen again (although since he isn't ruling the world in later episodes, it can be taken as read his overall scheme didn't work).
* ManipulativeBastard: Suckers Pietro and Wanda into attacking Magneto so he can capture him, and then captures them as well.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Wants to replace humanity with ani-men as the dominant species because he believes they'll be purer of intention.

[[folder:The Colony]]
* AdaptationalNameChange: Though not called such, they're clearly supposed to be an adaptation of the Brood.
* MonsterOfTheWeek: Only appear as the villains of the episode "Love in Vain".

[[folder:The Phalanx]]
* {{Expy}}: Just a little bit of [[Franchise/StarTrek the Borg]] in them, with their stated goal being assimilating everyone into "perfection".
* MechanicalAbomination: The central hub of the Phalanx is a giant tendril of mechanical matter with wailing heads extending from it.
* PullingThemselvesTogether: Smash up a Phalanx, and they'll just pull themselves back together.
* ResistanceIsFutile: To go with the Borg thing, not to mention "you will be assimilated".

[[folder:Arkon]]
!!Arkon of Polemachus

* AdaptationalVillainy: Arkon has occasionally troubled the Avengers in the comics, but usually because he's been duped, and more often than not is a good(''ish'') guy and ally to Marvel's heroes. Not so much here.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: Comes to Earth looking for Storm to ask her to use her powers to fix his world Polemachus's severe weather problems, and then marry him. [[spoiler:Turns out he's ''responsible'' for those problems, and is an imperialistic, slaving lunatic]].
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: [[spoiler:When finally called out on his mountain of lies, he tells Storm he ''had'' to enslave his planet's neighbours, because they did it first, and every strong empire has to enslave ''someone''. Ororo does not agree]].
* HadToBeSharp: He insists to Ororo that his occasional displays of bad temper are because of the long history Polemachus has with their neighbour. This is total bunk.
* HairTriggerTemper: His "servants" are utterly terrified at all times, probably because he'll torture them with little to no provocation, such as walking in on him sweet-talking his fiancée.
* LargeAndInCharge: He's quite big. Storm's not exactly slight herself, being 5'11, and he's at least a head taller than her.
* LaserGuidedKarma: [[spoiler:In the end, Storm destroys the device powering his armies and keeping his slaves from rebelling or escaping]].
* OffstageVillainy: The leader of the Polemachus resistance states that thousands have died at the hands of Arkon's robot guards.
* SkewedPriorities: One of his advisers tells him the whole problem with Polemachus tearing itself apart is because of the giant energy generator he set up, and the easiest way to fix the problem would be ''turn the damn thing off''. He refuses point-blank.

[[folder:The Red Skull]]
->See his folder [[Characters/SpiderManTheAnimatedSeriesVillains here]].

!!Introduced in ''X-Men '97''

!!!Operation: Zero Tolerance

[[folder:In General]]
* CompositeCharacter: Takes cues from both Orchis (an alliance of human powers against mutants, secretly led by Sentinels aiming to ensure their own dominance over the planet) and the Cabal (a team of several big league Marvel villains).
* EvenEvilHasStandards: A few of the program's supporters aren't appreciative of Bastion's more monstrous acts, with Doom in particular noting offense at the idea he would be indifferent to the Genoshan massacre--not that it precludes his help.
* LegionOfDoom: Several major villains are depicted backing Bastion's plans, including Mr. Sinister, Doctor Doom, and Baron Helmut Zemo.
* TeamMemberInTheAdaptation: The line-up of people working with Bastion include Mr. Sinister, Dr. Doom, Helmut Zemo, and [[spoiler:Val Cooper]]. None of these four had anything to do with the organization in the comics and in fact, the latter three were busy with other matters when it went down: Doom being stuck in [[ComicBook/HeroesReborn a pocket universe]] thanks to [[ComicBook/{{Onslaught}} one of the events]] Bastion took advantage of to get OZT off the ground, Zemo trying to take advantage of said event himself with his ComicBook/{{Thunderbolts}} scheme, and [[spoiler:Val actually trying to protect X-Factor ''from'' Bastion and his forces.]]

* EvilVersusOblivion: He's the Evil to the Phalanx's Oblivion. Sinister is a MadScientist who wants to use Scott and Jean to preform unethical experiments, [[EvenEvilHasStandards but he certainly doesn't want to see the world fall to an alien race]].
** Subverted in "Beyond Good and Evil" where he's entirely willing to go along with Apocalypse's OmnicidalManiac scheme, something even constant Apocalypse ally Mystique isn't willing to do.

* EvilerThanThou: Sinister was a personal acquaintance of UsefulNotes/JosefMengele, who he is critical of because he believes Mengele could've done ''more'' than what he worked on for the Nazi's.
