[[folder:Sugar Man]]
!!Sugar Man
[[quoteright:191:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sugarman_3.png]]

* ArchNemesis: To Nate Grey, whom he's quite sensibly afraid of (because Nate is a PhysicalGod and has frequently tried to kill him), taking a certain glee in having the upper hand in ''Unfinished Business.'' This was unwise, as come ''ComicBook/UncannyXMen2018'', Nate [[spoiler:tracked him down and ripped him in half]].
* TheApprentice: He used to be this to Mister Sinister.
* AxCrazy: A literal example, as he is often depicted in merchandise wielding an axe.
* BadBoss: He ran the work camps which housed thousands of humans and regularly tormented his slaves.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: He looks, and often acts, quite ridiculous, but he's deceptively dangerous in a physical brawl, he's much smarter than he seems, and he's extremely hard to kill.
* TheBrute: Despite having fairly advanced scientific knowledge, his very physical mutation makes him favor shaking it up with the heroes as one of these.
* CanonForeigner[=/=]CanonImmigrant: Literally immigrated to the 616 reality. Unlike other immigrants to 616, he hasn't shown any sign of a counterpart to date (Dark Beast and Nate had counterparts in Beast and Cable, respectively, while Holocaust developed one in Genocide).
* {{Cephalothorax}}: His face and by extension head are in his thorax.
* CharacterDeath:
** He was [[DeathIsCheap temporarily]] killed by Magneto just prior to ''ComicBook/SecretWars2015'', [[HoistByHisOwnPetard with his own lab equipment.]] He was revealed in ''Apocalypse Wars'' to have survived [[StayingAlive this too]].
** As of 2018 he's dead again, courtesy of [[spoiler:X-Man ripping him in two shortly before the ComicBook/AgeOfXMan]], though given his track record of StayingAlive mutants might want to hold off on the confetti and streamers for a few years... or a nice solid decade, just to be on the safe side.
** Sure enough, two years later Sugar Man turned up alive and well on the pages of ''ComicBook/TheAmazingSpiderManNickSpencer'', having a VillainsOutShopping day for himself at the Foreigner's casino.
* {{Cephalothorax}}: Sugarman appears as a rotund torso dominated by a huge, ugly face, with four arms and a single pair of legs.
* ComboPlatterPowers: Has SuperStrength; a [[MultipurposeTongue multipurpose]], [[TongueTrauma needle-tipped]] [[OverlyLongTongue tongue of intestinal length]]; MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily, SuperSenses that allow him to [[IKnowWhatYouFear smell fear]] and [[SizeShifter size-shifting]].
* DiabolusExNihilo: While literally ''every other'' inhabitant of the Age of Apocalypse has (eventually) been linked to a counterpart in the regular 616 reality, the Sugar Man has not and no mutant has ever been seen that even ''remotely'' resembles him.
* DirtyCoward: He's more than willing to run for the hills the moment the tide looks to be turned against him.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Depraved as he is, even he was surprised by the ''things'' the Dark Beast created to serve him when the two villains reunited in the 616 universe.
* EvilIsBigger: Might seem stocky due to lacking ahead, but is 6' 9" (2.05m).
* FangsAreEvil: Razor-sharp teeth across that really wide mouth.
* FluffyTheTerrible: Let's be honest; "Sugar Man" doesn't make you think "sadistic plague-engineering cannibal mutant", now does it?
* ForTheEvulz: He has no goal beyond just seeing those weaker than him suffer for the pleasure of it.
* ForWantOfANail: When discussing Sugar Man with the [[http://www.marvunapp.com/Appendix7/sugarmanaoa.htm Marvel Appendix]], creator Scott Lobdell said that the reason the Sugar Man has never had a 616 counterpart is to make readers wonder what changed between the Age of Apocalypse and the regular timeline if the mainstream Sugar Man died or never manifested or if he's in fact just an ordinary guy someone in the world with the potential to become a nightmarish, concentration camp-running mutant monster.
* {{Gonk}}: One of the weirdest and most disgusting-looking villains the X-Men ever faced.
* HeroKiller: Killed several members of Generation Next, the Age of Apocalypse analogue to ''ComicBook/GenerationX''.
* HornsOfVillainy: Two over his eyebrows, usually small but DependingOnTheArtist sometimes they can vary wildly in size.
* HypercompetentSidekick: A ''very'' unusual example, but the Sugar Man has proved himself to be this over the years, particularly where Genosha is concerned. He allied himself with Cameron Hodge and the Genegineer in secret and ultimately succeeded where they failed by engineering a stable Genoshan regime (well, as stable as things ever get on Genosha) that supplied him with a regular feed of mutant slaves. Later, when he joined up with Holocaust and the Dark Beast and the Shi'ar came for all of them, he was the only one of the three with the sense to play ball with the Sh'iar, resulting in a cocky (and free) Sugar Man glibly taunting his betters while they lay helpless in Shi'ar custody.
* ImAHumanitarian: Sugar Man is in fact an ExtremeOmnivore who can digest virtually anything as sustenance... but as he's fond of reminding his victims, he has his ''preferences'' in food. He revealed to Dark Beast that he eat his enemies alive after defeating them in battle, as he fought and ate all of DB’s security guards in Earth-616, and later tried to eat alive both Callisto and Karima Shapandar/Omega Sentinel when they were on Genosha [[spoiler:he actually managed to consume all of Callisto’s tentacles on one side of her body, during that stretch of time before the Decimation when her arms and hands had been transformed into tentacles by her rival Morlock leader Masque]]
* KarmaHoudini: Instead of being punished for what he did in the Age of Apocalypse, teleported himself to the 616 reality. However, just before ''ComicBook/SecretWars2015'', he seemed to get his comeuppance when Magneto impaled him on his own lab equipment after getting what he needed [[spoiler:he survived and continued to cause trouble, but was permanently [[KilledOffForReal executed]] in 2018 by a Celestial Life Seed-empowered Nate Grey]]
* MadScientist: With expertise in genetics and, to an extent, cybernetics, having invented the Genoshan mutate bonding process and being able to whip up mutating tech on the spot from apparent junk (admittedly, that junk was from a HAMMER facility, but still). Though not the foremost example of this trope, as he bluntly admits to Magneto when the latter comes to him for a better dose of MGH, he's not of the same caliber as Sinister or Dark Beast. On the other hand, he is probably the best at "quick and dirty" jobs that get results, as Magneto points out.
* TheManBehindTheMan: Retconned into being the mastermind behind Genosha's various anti-mutant tech, as he arrived twenty years in 616's past.
* MultiArmedAndDangerous: Four arms, which he exploits by [[DualWielding carrying a hammer and an axe]], and sometimes guns.
* MultiMeleeMaster: ''Master'' is definitely pushing it, but as a four-armed mutant the Sugar Man is known to carry multiple types of weapons in battle, including:
** DropTheHammer: Carries one with SUGAR on it. He's a weird guy, okay?
** GoodGunsBadGuns: When edged weapons aren't enough, he's also known to carry [=TMP=]s and other machine guns.
* MultipurposeTongue: Sugar Man uses his long razor-sharp tongue as his weapon.
* OutGambitted: Magneto tricked him into providing him a 'quick and dirty' boost to his failing mutant powers, using Briar Raleigh as a go-between to make Sugar Man think he had given up his mission of being a mutant VigilanteMan. Unfortunately for Sugar Man, Magneto had done no such thing, and the moment Sugar Man had [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness given him what he wanted]] Magneto pulped him.
* OutsideContextProblem: According to his creator Scott Lobdell, Sugar Man was created specifically to be this, providing a villain for the Age of Apocalypse who ''wasn't'' just a new take on an old character. And to this very day, well over 25 years later, no 616 counterpart of him has ever appeared.
* OverlyLongTongue: Has a prehensile tongue which he can shoot up to ten feet, and he understandably employs as a weapon.
* PlagueMaster: His primary contributions to Apocalypse's regime were the nightmarish biological weapons he invented.
* PsychoForHire: Degenerated into a MadScientist variant of this after he was run out of Genosha. When Magneto went to him for an extra strength dose of MGH to power him up, he even bluntly pointed this out, noting that Magneto could have gone to any one of a number of geneticists higher up on the scale than him (the answer was that Magneto wanted quick and dirty).
* PsychopathicManChild: The Man-Child part is indicated by his drawings, which look like childish scribbles. The psycho part goes without saying.
* RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil: Revealed to have regularly sexually abused a number of his prisoners, including, chillingly, a young Illyana Rasputin and Clarice Ferguson.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: Occasionally drawn with them.
* TheRenfield: An odd example in that he is perfectly capable of operating on his own, but the minute a stronger leader emerges he starts kissing up, particularly if that leader is Apocalypse or someone connected to him somehow.
* {{Retcon}}: Despite being the writer who decided to bring Sugar Man over to the mainstream Marvel Universe, Sugar Man's creator Scott Lobdell never intended to make him TheManBehindTheMan to the mutant-enslaving regime on Genosha. That was done by Warren Ellis and Jeph Loeb in the pages of ComicBook/{{Cable}}'s title.
* {{Sadist}}: He takes pleasure in experimenting, torturing, and [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil raping]] his victims that he can overpower.
* SizeShifter: He is also able to control his own mass. If he loses mass, the lost mass is shunted off to some unknown location, presumably an extra-dimensional space and he shrinks in size. It's unknown how long it takes him to regain his normal size.
* SpikesOfVillainy: Often, though not always, depicted with spiked shoulder pads.
* StayingAlive: The most complex yet useful perk of his mutation: whenever Sugar Man is killed, a smaller Sugar Man (a fourth the size of the original's body) emerges from the corpse. He survived a pipe through the head courtesy of Callisto and Omega Sentinel this way.
* VerbalTic: In early appearances, he had a habit of running words together. It was either quietly dropped or quietly forgotten.
* VillainTeamUp: Fairly fond of teaming up with his fellow Age of Apocalypse expatriates Holocaust and the Dark Beast. He inevitably betrays them just like he betrays everyone else, but hey, it's the thought that counts.
* WouldHurtaChild: Revealed to be a child molester to the young female prisoners.

* SuperSenses: She has some due to here werewolf nature.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Disappeared completely after 2005 mini-series.

* DarkAndTroubledPast: Like canon he had a terrible childhood, but this extended to the point of hating church.

* WeUsedToBeFriends: Thinks about their time as friends during the battle with [[spoiler: Iceman]].

!!Generation Next

* AntiHero: Even more so than Nightcrawler. He’s violent, vicious, cruel, and vindictive. Who on the battlefield doesn’t care who gets hurt as long as he wins. On the other hand he loves his sister, his wife, served Magneto faithfully and never gives up His fight against Apocalypse.

* BigBrotherInstinct: Would choose rescuing his little sister over saving his students.

* TheDragon: He was one of Magnetos original recruits, so he played this part as a field commander.

!!X-ternals

A Cajun mutant who is Magneto’s close friend, Rogue’s ex-boyfriend and the leader of X-Ternals. His power is to force objects to explode by "charging" them, converting their potential energy into kinetic energy. He’s also a great acrobat and a bo staff fighter.

* AdaptationalHeroism: On the other side, he had never been associated with Mr. Sinister to begin with and hadn’t had HeelFaceRevolvingDoor tendencies like 616 ComicBook/{{Gambit}}. [[spoiler:He even sacrificed his life for his friends]].
* AmicableExes: Despite taking break-up with Rogue rather bad, they’d been in good terms.

* DeadpanSnarker: Pretty much as his original counterpart. Almost everything he says is snark, even when speaking to Magneto.
* HavingABlast: He has a power to turn any object he touches into a bomb, usually a playing cards.

* PreMortemOneLiner: A strange example. [[spoiler:Said particularly nasty one to Colossus after the latter went mad and accidently killed Shadowcat. Yeah, the guy [[AdaptationalJerkass was a dick in this universe]], but it is a phrase a villain could say:]]

'''Gambit:''' [[spoiler:Don’ worry, hommes. Where she’s gone, I make sure… you be right behind her! [Throws a card on his back] ]]

* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: Died absorbing fatal amount of energy while saving his friends.]]

!!Outcasts

* ZenSurvivor: Thanks to fighting against Apocalypse about as long as Magneto has.

* AdaptationalNameChange: Goes by Siryn in original universe.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: The last time she was seen was in 2005 mini-series when Psylocke told it's doubtful she could reverse her brainwashed state.

* AdaptationalHeroism: Original Toad is not a worst guy ever, but this one was heroic since the beginning.
* AdaptationalUgliness: Not to say that original Toad is really attractive, this one however looks like ComicBook/{{Deadpool}} without a mask…

* MasterSwordsman: He’s good with sword in this universe and had a duel with Caliban.

* AdaptationalHeroism: Is a bad guy in the main universe, friend of Forge and X-Man in this one.

!!Apocalypse's regime

* GodEmperor: All set up to be one, but in the end his powers prove to be no match for Nate Grey, who kicks seven kinds of crap out of him. And once he's on the ropes, Nate leaves him for Magneto who... well. See below.

* NukeEm: Kicks off his reign by reducing America to a bombed out wasteland.

* TheSocialDarwinist: As per regular Apocalypse, though this incarnation cares nothing for the science or logic, only for the end result. Thanks to nuclear strikes and an evil army, he achieves his aim of a world where only the strongest have survived.

* AMillionIsAStatistic: Perhaps the single most drastic example in the X-universe. He boasts of a bodycount in the millions (only Cassandra Nova and Bolivar Trask vie for competition at those numbers), but unlike those two, his millions all die off-panel and are only invoked by Holocaust in his various twisted attempts at a BadassBoast.

* ArchEnemy: Sees himself as this to Nate Grey, the ComicBook/XMan, mainly. Nate, being a LivingWeapon with raw power on par with Franklin Richards and the Dark Phoenix at the age of 17 (when his powers aren't killing him) usually swats him aside with limited difficulty - and that was back when he could barely control his powers. While he is aware of Nemesis' threat, in one exchange in his final battle with [=AoA=]!Apocalypse, Nate tellingly refers to him as 'small fry', as he swats him aside to go after Apocalypse. He also became this to Exodus after their hellish battle on Avalon.

* CharacterDevelopment: A subdued case, but the two issues he appeared in ''ComicBook/{{Exiles}}'' depicted him as a more developed character than just about any other appearance he had. Usually just a bloodthirsty brute for writers to throw at heroes (usually Nate Grey), the Holocaust of ''Exiles'' was logical enough to form an alliance with his fellow Exiles, ambitious enough to try and seize his father's throne (he wanted it before too, but only for the freedom to kill them), and most notably, rational enough to let himself be talked out of killing the Age of Apocalypse Magneto (the guy who reduced him to his flaming skeleton state) by his teammates. This late development was very deliberate, as the writers were faking readers out into thinking he would become a permanent member of the team.

* TheDragon: He was his father's most trusted horseman in the Age of Apocalypse, though oddly he never got to meet regular flavor Apoc. He also played this to Sebastian Shaw for a time, and even slid into this role during his TokenEvilTeammate stint with the Exiles.

* ForTheEvulz: Unlike his father he has no goal driving his slaughter, not even a delusional one. He just likes killing people.
* GenocideFromTheInside: Not only does he not distinguish between mutant and human victims, most of his victims have been mutants. Further, he's fond of playing the trojan horse and destroying mutant sanctuaries from within; both [=AoA=] Magneto's original haven of Wundagore and the Acolytes' SpaceBase Avalon were destroyed by his hand, with dozens of mutant lives lost.
* HeroKiller: Prides himself on being this. Confirmed kills include his world's Scarlet Witch, his world's Destiny and the Acolytes Milan, Javitz and Rusty Collins. He also killed his world's Destiny and roughly half the [=AoA=] Savage Land in ''ComicBook/SecretWars2015''.

* PersonalityPowers: Discounting his appearance in ''Exiles'' he's been a one-note kill everyone kind of villain, and his powers reflect that. Even his father Apocalypse has powers which can be beneficial to others, such as SuperEmpowering, but ol' Holly is about one thing and one thing only when it comes to others: killing them.

** WeaksauceWeakness: The armour is also his greatest vulnerability, being relatively fragile and broken either partly or fully on a near-constant basis. X-Man, Exodus and King Hyperion have all managed to break the protective headpiece (though it's worth noting that they're three of the most individually powerful characters in the Marvel Universe), and in an issue of ''ComicBook/SecretWars2015'' the Age of Apocalypse X-Men team were able to destroy the armor completely by working together.

* StatusQuoIsGod: It is established in Holocaust's backstory that he is not naturally a flaming EnergyBeing skeleton, and the reason why he became one was that his original human body was destroyed in battle with Magneto. We are even shown [[http://secondtime.madeoffail.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/nemesis.jpg what he looked like as a human pre-Magneto]]. But when a version of him was introduced into the regular 616 timeline (under the name of 'Genocide' for some reason), that version is ''also'' a flaming skeleton in PowerArmor, despite being much younger and never losing his body in battle (it's given a HandWave in story that his powers reduced him to the flaming skeleton state... somehow).

* ThoseTwoGuys: Him and Post usually worked together during the Onslaught Saga. They also got their butts kicked together trying to fight ComicBook/TheAvengers.

* VampiricDraining: One of his armour's abilities is to drain the lifeforce of other beings to feed its phasing and shapeshifting powers.

* FauxAffablyEvil: He can put on a good show, and it might be genuine, but he's still capable of stone cold evil acts in the pursuit of his goals.

* KickTheDog: He [[MentorOccupationalHazard beats Nate's mentor Forge to death]] more or less for getting between him and Nate (he'd infiltrated the group Nate was with in a disguise, hoping to guide Nate towards his own goals, but Forge kept shutting him down). Nate ''[[UnstoppableRage did not]]'' [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown take this]] [[LaserGuidedKarma well]].

* KilledOffForReal: By [[spoiler: Donald Blake]] in a case of TakingYouWithMe.
* FauxAffablyEvil: He acts polite, but behind that layed a sociopath who would hurt his own brother.

* BeingTorturedMakesYouEvil: He was experimented on by Sinister and Beast. He joined the Horsemen after escaping from the their Breeding Pens.

* KlingonPromotion: Earned his by defeating and destroying the horseman Bastion.

* PocketDimension: His mutant ability makes him a living gateway to one of these. Per a later RetCon, it's the same dimension ComicBook/{{Nightcrawler}} uses as an ExtradimensionalShortcut.

!! Death (Maximus)

[[folder: War]]

* CoDragons: With the rest of the first-gen Horsemen. Notably, her and Gideon seem to be the most authoritative.

* CoDragons: With the rest of the first-gen Horsemen. Notably, him and Candra seem to be the most authoritative.

* HeelFaceTurn: Not that he was particularly evil to begin with. [[spoiler: Though in the recent Age of Apocalypse series he changes his mind...]]
* [[MadScientistsBeautifulDaughter Mad Scientist's Beautiful Adopted Son]]: The handsome son to Mr. Sinister's mad scientist.
* TheParagonAlwaysRebels: Easily one of the greatest of Mr. Sinisters soldiers, rebels out of wanting to stop the killing.
* SelfMadeOrphan: He was forced to [[spoiler: kill his father]] because he had been infected with a Brood Queen.

* YouAreInCommandNow: When Sinister leaves [[spoiler: to seek Nate Grey as part of his plan to assassinate Apocalypse]] he puts Cyclops in command of the Breeding Pens.

** And[[spoiler: Resurrected in the latest Age of Apocalypse series.]]

** TheResenter: He hates being subordinate to Cyclops and seen as the lesser of the two.

* TattooedCrook: Several Sinister tattoes on his back.
* TheUnfavourite: Compared to Cycops he might at well not been a soldier at all.

!!The Dark Beast (Henry "Hank" [=McCoy=])

* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: Anytime he's found himself in an EnemyMine situation, it ends with him sticking a knife in someone's back. His alliance with the Uncanny X-Force ended with him stranding the team in the Age of Apocalypse, and despite enthusiastically proclaiming himself to be an X-Man when he was captured and put to work by the team, he was ultimately [[spoiler:executed by Magik]] when it was discovered that his anti anti-mutant vaccine was just a front for yet another of his SocialDarwinist plots.
* CombatPragmatist: He can fight, though he prefers doing so against those at a disadvantage, such as a young [[ComicBook/XMan Nate Grey]], whose powers were malfunctioning. When Nate had grown up a bit, but was functionally limited to {{Telepathy}} and a taser glove, he still managed to bully Dark Beast, and when the full grown version, in full control of ''all'' his [[PhysicalGod many]] [[RealityWarper abilities]] and out for Dark Beast's blood, turned up, Dark Beast's immediate plan of action was to run for the hills - which, in fairness, is probably a wise proposition, since at that point Nate regarded things like physical death as minor inconveniences, the Multiverse as his personal step-ladder, and entire teams of high-end X-Men as passing irritations. Plus, like his genetic sibling, Cable, he was definitely ''not'' an adherent to the X-Men's philosophy of ThouShaltNotKill.

* DarkIsEvil: His fur is a darker shade of blue than the regular Hank's, the result of the Dark Beast playing ProfessorGuineaPig (something, ironically, which ends up [[spoiler: killing him]]).

* EvilDoppelganger: He's the Hank [=McCoy=] of the ComicBook/AgeOfApocalypse, dubbed the Beast because of the sadistic nature of his experiments. At one point he also joined Osborn's Dark X-Men, which were deliberately modelled to mirror the real X-Men.

* FakeIdentityBaggage: Dark Beast abducts and impersonates his heroic counterpart Henry [=McCoy=]. However, this task is made much more difficult due to him lacking Henry's [[OmnidisciplinaryScientist vast scientific expertise]], requiring him to bluff his way through some of the questions he was asked.
* FauxAffablyEvil: He's got all the charm and wit of 616 Hank, but none of the genuine kindness. When he impersonated as his 616 counterpart, he managed to adopt his NiceGuy facade before betraying them.

* GeniusBruiser: Though not quite as much as regular Hank, not being an OmnidisciplinaryScientist (though he's very good with biochemistry, genetics and, to an extent, machinery, to build gizmos).
* HateSink: All the arrogance and and InsufferableGenius qualities of regular beast but with the courage and charm replaced by cowardice and sadism.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: [[spoiler: The experiments he performed on himself over the years wound up killing him.]]

* KarmaHoudini: For a very long time he escapes punishment, despite Nate's best attempts to kill him on multiple occasions. Then he winds up being HoistByHisOwnPetard - [[spoiler: the many experiments he did on himself wound up killing him.]]
* MadScientist: One of the purest example of this type of character to be found in the Marvel Universe.

* OhCrap: Has two during ''ComicBook/DarkXMen'', first when he recognises just who the mysterious energy being possessing the townspeople is: [[ComicBook/XMan Nate Grey]], his old nemesis from the ''ComicBook/AgeOfApocalypse'' who hates his guts, then later has a second one when he realises that Nate [[spoiler:faked his death and is now possessing Norman Osborn]].

** HoistByHisOwnPetard: [[spoiler: This self-experimentation ultimately led to his death, his body simply unable to function anymore.]]

* SerialKiller: When he finds out about the real Henry [=McCoy=] he immediately sets out on a killing spree, taking out Hank's friends, teachers and colleagues from elementary school all the way up to his graduate days. He finally stops at Hank's parents, parricide being [[EvenEvilHasStandards the one line]] he can't bring himself to cross.

* SmugSnake: Just ''try'' to find a panel of this guy where he's not grinning, smirking, leering or otherwise showing off his canines.

* VillainForgotToLevelGrind: In the late nineties, he was a legitimate threat to the teenage [[ComicBook/XMan Nate Grey]], whose powers were killing him and were in a constant in-universe state of PowerCreepPowerSeep. By the time Nate had some combat experience under his belt, however, he could intimidate Dark Beast when limited to just his {{Telepathy}} and a taser glove. By Nate's return in ''ComicBook/DarkXMen'', when his powers were fully realised, stabilised, and mastered, it was only the intervention of Mystique (conveniently disguised as Jean Grey) that saved Dark Beast from being instantly immolated.

* AristocratsAreEvil: Their demeanour is reminiscent of this. Justified in that the most powerful mutants are aristocrats in Apocalypse's regime.
* {{Expy}}: Fair haired mutants with [[WonderTwinPowers Wonder Twin]] FlyingFirepower that have an IncestSubtext in a totalitarian fascist regime; might as well be the Fenris Twins.

* KilledOffForReal: By [[spoiler: Weapon X and his daughter, Kirika.]]

* CanonForeigner[=/=]CanonImmigrant: The Earth-616 version of Amazon only appeared once, in a few panels, in the mainstream universe, during another crossover a half a year before the Age of Apocalypse, and confusingly enough, she is implied to be actually younger than her siblings (but in the AOA, she’s implied to be the oldest of the [=AoA=] counterparts of the Guthrie siblings).

* TheBrute: To Havok when [[spoiler: Cyclops defects.]]
* [[spoiler: KilledOffForReal]]
* TattooedCrook: Lots of then.

* CanonImmigrant: Their counterparts later appeared on Earth-616, [[spoiler: except Jesse was a wimpy coward , who was ironically an undercover spy for Charles Xavier , while Terence was named Christopher instead and was an amoral [[AdapatationalVillainy bastard]] who was a mutant-supremacist terrorist/career criminal who caused the deaths of his parents in a car crash, using his mutant powers]]

* ScaryBlackMan: He was already frightening when he died the first time, the second time he was down right terrifying.

[[folder: Maudie]]

* CanonImmigrant: She was later adapted for use as a foe for Comicbook/{{Excalibur}}, as Black Queen of the Hellfire Club's London branch.
* HeelFaceTurn: In Avalon she defects to the "good side" and helps fight the Shadow King.

* LaserGuidedKarma: On the receiving end of this from Nate Grey, who rearranges her mind so that she relives all her horrible deeds, but instead of enjoying them, she realises the horror of what she did.

* SmugSnake: She's a badass, to be sure... but person with low-level luck powers versus a HotBlooded borderline PhysicalGod with PsychicPowers and potential as a fully fledged RealityWarper? How is this ''possibly'' going to end well?

A henchmen and bounty hunter of Domino.
* DirtyCoward: Unlike canon, he’s a egotistical coward who pleads for his life.

A bestial mass murderer and one of Domino's henchman.

* TheBrute: A sociopath whose used for his brawn.

* HeroicSacrifice: More like Villain Sacrifice. But his death lead to Apocalypse minion Rex to find the X-Men’s base.

* AxCrazy: He tried to kill get away, and successfully murdered Brian Braddock viciously.
* MookLieutenant: With the virus he is a regenerator with the capacity to assimilate both non-organics and organics. Without the techno-organic virus he is nothing.

!!The Sugar Man

* ArchNemesis: To [[ComicBook/XMan Nate Grey,]] whom he's quite sensibly afraid of (because Nate is a PhysicalGod and has frequently tried to kill him), taking a certain glee in having the upper-hand in ''Unfinished Business.'' This was unwise, as come ''ComicBook/UncannyXMen2018'', Nate [[spoiler: tracked him down and ripped him in half]].

* BadBoss: In the ''ComicBook/AgeOfApocalypse'' he ran the work camps which housed thousands of humans and regularly tormented his slaves.

** As of 2018 he's dead again, courtesy of [[spoiler:ComicBook/XMan ripping him in two shortly before the ComicBook/AgeOfXMan]], though given his track record of StayingAlive mutants might want to hold off on the confetti and streamers for a few years... or a nice solid decade, just to be on the safe side.
** Sure enough, two years later Sugar Man turned up alive and well in the pages of ''ComicBook/TheAmazingSpiderManNickSpencer'', having a VillainsOutShopping day for himself at the Foreigner's casino.

* ForWantOfANail: When discussing Sugar Man with the [[http://www.marvunapp.com/Appendix7/sugarmanaoa.htm Marvel Appendix]], creator Scott Lobdell said that the reason the Sugar Man has never had a 616 counterpart is to make readers wonder what changed between the Age of Apocalypse and the regular timeline, if the mainstream Sugar Man died or never manifested or if he's in fact just an ordinary guy someone in the world with the potential to become a nightmarish, concentration camp-running mutant monster.
* {{Gonk}}: One of the weirdest and most disgusting looking villains the X-Men ever faced.
* HeroKiller: Killed several members of Generation Next, the Age of Apocalypse analogue to ComicBook/GenerationX.

* HypercompetentSidekick: A ''very'' unusual example, but the Sugar Man has proved himself to be this over the years, particularly where Genosha is concerned. He allied himself with Cameron Hodge and the Genegineer in secret, and ultimately succeeded where they failed by engineering a stable Genoshan regime (well, as stable as things ever get on Genosha) that supplied him with a regular feed of mutant slaves. Later, when he joined up with Holocaust and the Dark Beast and the Shi'ar came for all of them, he was the only one of the three with the sense to play ball with the Sh'iar, resulting in a cocky (and free) Sugar Man glibly taunting his betters while they lay helpless in Shi'ar custody.
* ImAHumanitarian: Sugar Man is in fact an ExtremeOmnivore who can digest virtually anything as sustenance... but as he's fond of reminding his victims, he has his ''preferences'' in food. He revealed to Dark Beast that he eat his enemies alive after defeating them in battle , as he fought and ate all of DB’s security guards in Earth-616 , and later tried to eat alive both Callisto and Karima Shapandar/Omega Sentinel when they were on Genosha [[spoiler: he actually managed to consume all of Callisto’s tentacles on one side of her body, during that stretch of time before the Decimation when her arms and hands had been transformed into tentacles by her rival Morlock leader Masque]]
* KarmaHoudini: Instead of being punished for what he did in the Age of Apocalypse, teleported himself to the 616 reality. However, just before ''ComicBook/SecretWars2015'', he seemed to get his comeuppance when Magneto impaled him on his own lab equipment after getting what he needed [[spoiler: he survived and continued to cause trouble, but was permanently [[KilledOffForReal executed]] in 2018 by a Celestial Life Seed-empowered Nate Grey]]
* MadScientist: With expertise in genetics and, to an extent, cybernetics, having invented the Genoshan mutate bonding process and being able to whip up mutating tech on the spot from apparent junk (admittedly, that junk was from a HAMMER facility, but still). Though not the foremost example of this trope, as he bluntly admits to Magneto when the latter comes to him for a better dose of MGH, he's not of the same calibre as Sinister or Dark Beast. On the other hand, he is probably the best at "quick and dirty" jobs that get results, as Magneto points out.

** GoodGunsBadGuns: When edged weapons aren't enough, he's also known to carry [=TMP=]s and other machineguns.

* SpikesOfVillainy: Often, though not always, depicted with spiked shoulderpads.

* VerbalTic: In early appearances he had a habit of running words together likethis. It was either quietly dropped or quietly forgotten.

* EvilRedHead: Like his mainstream self, he both red-headed and evil.

* GroundhogDayLoop: Much like her 616 counterpart, Moira has her timeloop abilities. She keeps failing to stop Apocalypse from taking over the world.

* BroughtDownToNormal: Had herself partially lobotomised to remove her psychic abilities so that she could join the Human High Council.

* AsianBabymama: Turns out she had a daughter by [[spoiler: Logan, Kirika,]] that she never got around to tell him about.

* GodInHumanForm: He's unknowingly [[ComicBook/TheMightyThor Thor, the Norse god of Thunder]] in human guise.

InSpiteOfANail: He still winds up with an artificial heart after being injured by his own weapons and works with Clint Barton.

* AdaptationalHeroism: Considerable more heroic than his mainstream self, being devoted to the protection of humanity.

* HeroicSacrifice: Subverted. He throws himself out to intercept a missile, but survives while mutating into a more familiar green form.

[[folder: Weapon X / Weapon Omega]]

* HandicappedBadass: Lost his left hand in a fight with Cyclops. Doesn't make him any less capable.
* YouKillItYouBoughtIt: Killing a reborn Apocalypse ended infecting Logan and turning him into the next incarnation of the bad guy.

!! Neutrals

Genetic offspring of Scott Summers and Jean Grey created by Sinister. You can learn more about him [[Comicbook/XMan here]].

* LivingWeapon: Created as one by Sinister, and my lord was it effective.
* MessianicArchetype: Like his main counterpart, Cable, he plays the role of TheChosenOne, destined to take out Apocalypse. Unlike Cable, he actually succeeds (not that it changes much in the long run, sadly).
* PhysicalGod: His powers place him on this level, when they don't cut out on him - certainly, he's strong enough even as a kid to swat Holocaust like a bug and dismiss him as the prelude to the main event - his showdown with Apocalypse. Whom he promptly kicks seven shades of crap out of.
* PsychicPowers: As is independently noted by just about everyone who meets him, he is unbelievably powerful.
* TookALevelInBadass: Believe it or not, beating Apocalypse to a pulp is where he ''starts'', with a long stint on 616 stabilising his powers, teaching him a lot how to use them, and confirming that barring a fully powered Franklin Richards, he is ''the'' most powerful mutant in the Marvel Universe.
* TykeBomb: Was created with one purpose and one purpose only: to kill Apocalypse. He did his best to fulfil it too, with the end result being a barely breathing Apocalypse who Magneto promptly ripped in half.
* UnskilledButStrong: He knows a lot of unusual tricks, courtesy of Forge, but he's got very little combat experience and tends to rush straight in, unleashing as much power as possible.

* AbortedArc: The ''Storm'' miniseries teased that Dark Beast was behind Mikhail Rasputin and the new generation of Morlocks. While the Mikhail connection was dropped, the Morlock connection stuck around, [[spoiler:to the point where he was heavily hinted at being the original ''creator'' of the Morlocks, and that Sinister slaughtered them because of that - or rather, because he got suspicious of someone using genetic manipulation very much like his own]].

* OhCrap: Has two during ''Dark X-Men'', first when he recognises just who the mysterious energy being possessing the townspeople is: [[ComicBook/XMan Nate Grey]], his old nemesis from the ''ComicBook/AgeOfApocalypse'' who hates his guts, then later has a second one when he realises that Nate [[spoiler:faked his death and is now possessing Norman Osborn]].

* VillainForgotToLevelGrind: In the late nineties, he was a legitimate threat to the teenage [[ComicBook/XMan Nate Grey]], whose powers were killing him and were in a constant in-universe state of PowerCreepPowerSeep. By the time Nate had some combat experience under his belt, however, he could intimidate Dark Beast when limited to just his {{Telepathy}} and a taser glove. By Nate's return in ''Dark X-Men'', when his powers were fully realised, stabilised, and mastered, it was only the intervention of Mystique (conveniently disguised as Jean Grey) that saved Dark Beast from being instantly immolated.
* VillainForgotToLevelGrind: Though it's more an artifact of the latter's degenerating genetics and inexperience, early on, he's able to kick the hell out of Nate Grey, while lecturing him. A post-Shaman Nate Grey, however, has him dead to rights, and [=McCoy=]'s response is a profound and sensible desire to run away screaming.
