History Characters / NewMutants

Alongside his best friend Roberto, Sam served as a member of Comicbook/TheAvengers, during which he met Isabel Kane and ended up marrying her. They had a son together named Josiah, who inherited Sam's mutant powers, and moved together to the Shi'ar homeworld of Chandilar due to Izzy becoming the new Smasher of the Imperial Guard. Following the ascension of Xavier and Lilandra's daughter Xandra to the position of Majestrix, Sam became a key member of the Shi'ar court as an advisor to the young mutant.

* {{Jerkass}}: In ''Comicbook/{{Nextwave}}'', which may or may not be in continuity. At one point, she starts beating up a policeman for no reason other than that she hates cops. (Of course, ''everyone'' on that team was a {{jerkass}}.)

* SuperpowerLottery: It’s his super power. No, really. His power designation in Max Hickman's X-Men run is Omega level Power Manifestation and according to Rogue new powers are being birthed with new personalities ''constantly''. Some of the the big ones he’s manifested are Telekinesis, Telepathy, and the ability to ''create an entire universe''.

* TrueCompanions: Unlike most of the main adult X-Men roster, they notably lack thier older counterpart's DysfunctionJunction in thier interactions with each other and their FamilyOfChoice relationship is considerably stronger and much more visible than most X-Team, with them at thier prickliest with each other still being relatively friendly VitriolicBestBuds. While individually the might strained relationship with thier fellow X Men members from time to time, the New Mutants as a whole are always portrayed as being "ride or die" for each other and a lot more relaxed with each other. The fact that they are notably a much better MoralityChain for [[TokenEvilTeammate Illyana]] [[SociopathicHero Rasputin]] than even her older and former best friend just shows how powerful thier friendship is.

* SuperpowerLottery: Telepathy, telekinesis, pyrokinesis... [[ExaggeratedTrope too many things]] to count... Taken further in the "Age of X" storyline, where he goes and ''creates an entire universe''. SuoerpowerLottery is actual his super power as his power designation in Hickman's X-Men run is Omega level Power Manifestation and according to Rogue new powers are being birthed with new personalities ''constantly''.

X-Man is an Omega-level mutant genetically created by Mr. Sinister from the Age of Apocalypse timeline. He shares the same genetic history as Cable. After returning from the dead Nate has joined the New Mutants and started a relationship with Dani Moonstar.

* UndyingLoyalty: To Cable, who he views as his most significant mentor during his time on the original X-Force. The two did often clash on when to use lethal force, but Sam is always ready to jump at any call for assistance that Cable puts out.

* MegatonPunch: sometimes he’s shown to channel his blast field into his fists.

* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Blonde haired and he's a pretty nice guy and a good friend.

* DoesNotLikeShoes: Prefers being barefoot in some continuities, added by the fact her shoes often get torn during the transformation.

* DeadpanSnarker: Leaning more to the deadpan side of this Trope, having friends like Roberto and Dani have transformed him into a full-fledged DeadpanSnarker of epic proportions.

* TalkToTheFist: After the Hellions rescued Empath from the New Mutants and promised to punish him for what he did, Empath immediately began planning his revenge for being captured. Jimmy then informed him that he intended to keep his word to the New Mutants, and *immediately* decked him before he could try to use his powers to get out of the situation.

* TeensAreShort: Despite being older than the others, initially Xuân was the same height as the rest of them, likely a result of malnutrition.

** Even before, in the 1980s, he gets the focus of an annual: his teammates fall to Mojo's control, save for Magma; Captain Britain is deaged and weakened, and Mojo and Spyral have kidnapped Psylocke (back then, still a British woman before her bodyswap). It is up to Doug and Warlock to save the day: despite being afraid, he braves on, connects with Psylocke's mind, and releases his teammates, Captain Britain, and finally Psylocke herself. This allows for her to break Spyral's hold over her and return everyone to the real world

* ADayInTheLimelight: The 2019 one-shot "New Mutants: War Children", set during the heyday of the '80s team (written and drawn by Claremont and Sienkiewicz, even) puts a lot of focus on Doug, who is the only member of the team not to be infected by Warlock gone rogue. Special attention is given to his bravery despite knowing his powers aren't up to much and his relationships with Warlock and Rahne. Ultimately, he manages to save the day.
