History Characters / XMenEvolution

* SaltAndPepper: Is the Pepper to Mystique's Salt.

%%* SaltAndPepper: She is the Salt to Storm's Pepper.

The legendary SuperSoldier from UsefulNotes/WorldWarII who fought the Nazis and ComicBook/{{HYDRA}} in the name of freedom.

-->'''Codename:''' Characters/{{Mystique}}

* ADayInTheLimeLight: A few, particularly "Grim Reminder" in season 1 (which focuses on his backstory), "Operation: Rebirth" (which includes his time fighting alongside Captain America in World War 2), and "X23" (which introduces his eponymous clone),=.

** Before that, during his brief stay with the X-Men, he gets accused of being behind taking their vehicles for joyrides that the New Mutants are actually responsible and takes the blame just to spite Scott. However, once he realizes they plan on taking the X-Jet as their next joyride, he decides they're taking their fun too far and brings Kitty with him to stop them and put an end to their antics.

%%* OppositesAttract: To Kitty.

-->'''Voiced by:''' Dale Wilson

* AgeLift: Slightly. In the comics, she was in middle school when she first got her powers. Here, she's in high school.

The X-Men's top fighter and chief drill instructor to the students. His keen senses help him track down adversaries and alert him of danger ahead. His healing powers make him nearly impossible to defeat in a brawl. Adamantium claws are capable of shredding enemies and just about any inanimate object as well. His past is a mystery to everyone, including himself. It is a rather lengthy past as well because his healing factor has drastically slowed the aging of his body. He was already an adult by World War II. Unlike in other X-Men series, Wolverine plays a minor role in ''X-Men: Evolution'' and is more of a PapaWolf than carousing badass.

* CompositeCharacter: He has Cyclops' usual role from the comics and other animated adaptations of being the first X-Man.

%%& EvilIsPetty

%%* ArmorPiercingQuestion

* [[{{Intangibility}} Intangible Girl]]: She can phase through solid objects and even people. Amusingly in one episode she phases through Beast while brushing her teeth...and accidentally leaves the toothbrush inside him.

* KickTheSonOfABitch: In "No Good Deed", they threaten Edward Kelly into leaving them out of his anti-mutant crusade. Considering that the man's a bigot who mistreats (and encourages mistreatment of) his own students who happen to be mutants, and also brought it upon himself with his anti-mutant speeches, it's hard to feel sorry for him.

* TheDogBitesBack: He finally has enough of Magneto's abuse during the search for Apocalypse and reverts to his non-metal form, effectively neutralizing Magneto's greatest advantage over him and easily [[KickTheSonOfABitch manhandling]] him until Gambit reminds them that Apocalypse is the higher priority.

* [[PrettyFreeloaders Pretty Freeloader]]: Her looks got her into the Brotherhood boarding house and kept her there no matter what stunt she pulled.

[[caption-width-right:320:''"Me and Miss Popularity there are worlds apart, galaxies, but then I realized something. She would do the same thing for me."''[[note]] regarding Kitty [[/note]]]]

%%* DarkChick: Fills this role in the Acolytes. How?

* HasTwoMommies: Both Mystique (adoptive) and Destiny (foster).

* BadassBaritone: His voice, courtesy of Creator/DavidKaye, is deep and impressive, and he's easily the most powerful mutant in the series.

[[caption-width-right:320:''"Me and Miss Popularity there are worlds apart, galaxies, but then I realized something. She would do the same thing for me."'']]

** Also, while he always was fond of young mutant daughter figures, it would take decades of CharacterDevelopment for him to be anywhere close to willing to play father figure with Storm and Xavier for an entire group of mutant children before any school for gifted youngsters or superhero team was properly established.

-->'''Codename:''' ComicBook/{{Cyclops}}\\

-->'''Real Name:''' ComicBook/JeanGrey\\

* MoralGuardian: Compare Jean to Cyclops in Season One's ''Survival of the Fittest''. Both the Brotherhood and X-Men competed to get to the top of a mountain and place a flag before the other team. The catch was neither team could use their powers. But Scott had no problem cheating and using his powers after seeing Avalanche cheat. Jean though was quick to point out that the X-Men should be above such things and stick to the rules. Interesting that neither Scott or Jean were portrayed in a positive light here with Jean being shown as slightly overbearing and self-serving.

* StrawFeminist: This comes up during ''Walk on the Wild Side'' and is never really touched on again. She calls Scott out on trying to help and bitches at Duncan for buying tickets to a dance, when it's supposed to be the girl who asks the guy out, while complaining about always feeling like she's treated as the weaker sex.

-->'''Codename:''' ComicBook/{{Nightcrawler}}

* AdaptationPersonalityChange: {{Downplayed}}. This version is not a devout Catholic and the TokenReligiousTeammate, but remains otherwise one of the nicest and most compassionate members of the X-Men.

* AttractiveBentGender: The female version of his human self in "Adrift is very pleasing to the eyes.

-->'''Codename:''' ComicBook/{{Rogue}}\\

* BrokenBird: Rogue was purposefully raised as an [[{{Goth}} outsider]] by Mystique and Destiny to manipulate her into becoming Mystique's tool, [[BlessedWithsuck cannot touch anyone without draining them due to her mutant ability]], and to top it all off suffers from a bad case of [[LoveHurts unrequited love]] for Scott and consequentially is bitterly jealous of Scott's official LoveInterest Jean.

* NiceGirl: She is very kind, protective, caring, brave and loving inside, despite the sarcasim and broken heart.

-->'''Real Name:''' [[ComicBook/KittyPryde Katherine 'Kitty' Pryde]]

* [[IntangibleMan Intangible Girl]]: She can phase through solid objects and even people. Amusingly in one episode she phases through Beast while brushing her teeth...and accidentally leaves the toothbrush inside him.

* OfficialCouple: [[spoiler:She gets back together with Lance in the last episode.]]

-->'''Codename:''' ComicBook/{{Wolverine}}

* TrainingFromHell: This trope gets first {{deconstructed}}, and then ''{{Reconstruction}}'' - in the first X-23 episode, it's established that he can be pretty harsh with training the younger X-Men-to-be, to the point that Rogue wouldn't admit she'd gotten better (after the last episode's events) to avoid it. After his experience with the aforementioned {{Tykebomb}}, he loosens up because "Sometimes you gotta let kids just be kids". He realizes that pushing teenagers too far in training is detrimental, and he eases up by the end. Contains hilarity in that Rogue of all people was pretending to still be sick in an effort to evade his training session.

* WolverineClaws: [[TropeNamer Obviously]]. His claws along with the rest of the bones in his body were bonded with an unbreakable metal known as adamantium as part of the Weapon X program.

-->'''Codename:''' ComicBook/{{Storm}}

* StatuesqueStunner: As persusual, Storm is a towering beauty!

-->'''Codename:''' Professor X

* BrainwashedAndCrazy: In the final season, [[spoiler:he's captured by Apocalypse and turned into one of his Horsemen.]]

-->'''Codename:''' ComicBook/{{Iceman}}

-->'''Codename:''' ComicBook/JubileeMarvelComics

Usually seen with Bobby, Sam, and Jamie, Jubilee is the second most seen female mamber of the New Recruits during Season 2. She's PutOnABus despite proving to be rather popular amongst some of the fans when the [[ExecutiveMeddling executives]] decided there were too many characters. She has the ability to shoot firework-like 'plasmoids' either in the shape of actual fireworks or beams. Easily identifiable by her yellow jacket.

* TheOjou: The official bios stated that she’s a princess and has been described as having a somewhat haughty, "royal" attitude at times.

* PutOnABus: [[spoiler: Until she appears one final time in the series finale, in Xavier's glimpse into the future, revealing that she does return to the team.]]

* AscendedExtra: Appears once in the comics as an AxeCrazy Morlock, here appears in a good number of B-Plots, usually as Bobby's second Male Best friend an speaks in almost every appearance.

* BerserkerRage: His codename ''is'' [[IncrediblyLamePun Berzerker]], after all.

-->'''Codename:''' ComicBook/{{Multiple|Man}}

* SpearCounterpart: To the comics' Marrow, powerset-wise (and him joining the Morlocks later also reflects this, since Marrow was a Morlock to begin with). The show's producers stated that, at the time, they didn't know about Marrow, hence why Spyke's so similar to her.

* {{Delinquent}}: They skip school, get into fights with the X-Men, and commit petty crimes such as vandalism and theft.

-->'''Codename:''' ComicBook/{{Mystique}}

* BrainwashedAndCrazy: In the final season, [[spoiler:she is turned into one of Apocalypse's Horsemen.]]

* MarkOfTheBeast: [[spoiler:She receives blue markings similar to those of Apocalypse when he "recruits" her as one of his horsemen.]]

* TeamMemberInTheAdaptation: [[spoiler:Unlike the comics, where she was no ties to the Horsemen, Apocalypse forcibly conscripts her to be one.]]

* ComicBookFantasyCasting: He was designed to look like a young Judd Nelson.

-->'''Codename:''' ComicBook/{{Quicksilver}}

* BigBrotherInstinct: Does genuinely have one towards Wanda, when she isn't trying to murder him. This is best demonstrated in the final episode when he [[spoiler: saves Wanda from being killed by Magneto.]]

* NotQuiteDead: During the finale of the first season, [[spoiler: when the asteroid blew up, many fans speculated that Pietro had been killed because he was not shown with the rest of the Brotherhood. Actually, in a blink-and-you'll-miss-it scene, the unconscious Pietro was carried to safety by Spyke.]]

* AdaptationalAttractiveness: Is certainly cuter and less revolting in comparison to his {{gonk}}ish apperance in the comics.

-->'''Codename:''' ComicBook/ScarletWitch

* FakeMemories: [[spoiler:Had these implanted by Mastermind - he basically replaced every bad memory she had of Magneto with good ones.]]

* TheUnfavorite: Magneto always chooses Quicksilver over her. This is part of the reason why she hates her brother.

-->'''Codename:''' ComicBook/{{Magneto}}

* {{Leitmotif}}: An quiet, ominous theme with a piano which crescendoes in and out.

* MarkOfTheBeast: [[spoiler:He receives blue markings similar to those of Apocalypse when he "recruits" him as one of his horsemen.]]

* ParentalNeglect: He [[ZigzaggedTrope zigzags]] between this trope in his relationship with his children, Pietro and Wanda.

-->'''Codename:''' ComicBook/{{Sabretooth}}\\

-->'''Codename:''' ComicBook/{{Gambit}}\\

* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler: Shown post-series to where he eventually joins the X-Men.]]

* ForcedIntoEvil: He’s working for Magneto solely because [[spoiler:his family was kidnapped.]]

* GoodAllAlong: He's a member of Magneto's Acolytes. In his second appearance, it was revealed during a confrontation between him and Wolverine that he was a reluctant member of the group and Magneto had blackmailed him into joining. In subsequent appearances, Colossus was consistently portrayed as the most sympathetic member of the Acolytes and was the first to abandon the group after [[spoiler:Magneto was seemingly killed by Apocalypse. He later helped the X-Men in their final battle against Apocalypse and was shown in the DistantFinale to become a full-fledged member of the X-Men following Apocalypse's defeat.]]
* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler: Post-series. He's shown in Xavier's vision of the future line-up of the X-Men.]]

* SixthRanger: [[spoiler: Joins the Brotherhood in the future.]]

-->'''Codename:''' ComicBook/{{Apocalypse}}

* HypnotizeTheCaptive: His first victim that he brainwashes is Jean Grey.

* NighInvulnerable: ''Nothing'' seems to have any ability to physically harm him.

* TheDreaded: They are revealed to be this to Xavier in the aforementionned episode, who has a nightmare where the military and dozens of Sentinels attack the mansion.

* VillainHasAPoint: During his conversation with Wolverine where he acknowledges that some mutants are indeed good, he also notes that regular people are still at risk of being casualties in the ongoing fight between heroic and vilainous mutants. Considering how much damage the X-Men and the Brotherhood caused during their clashes in the first season (and how many students from their high school got close to being killed) it's hard to not see a point.

* CivvieSpandex: [[spoiler:When she came back in the final fight against Apocalypse, she wore her Bayville Sirens outfit from "Walk in the Wild Side" compared to everyone else's as she was still unaffiliated with the X-Men and even the Brotherhood.]]

-->'''Codename:''' ComicBook/{{X 23}}

* BizarreSexualDimorphism: Her claw arrangment was intended to be this according to WordOfGod, with her foot claws specifically designed to be a trait of females with the same mutation as Logan. As described by Craig Kyle, the concept was that of a lioness; front claws for hunting prey, rear claws for self-defense.

%%* ChildSolider

* DisneyDeath: She fakes her death blowing up HYDRA in a bid to evade S.H.I.E.L.D..

* JuniorCounterpart: To Wolverine, with all the same powers. [[spoiler:She even joins the Future X-Men, taking Wolverine's place on the team]].

* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Because of the terrible life she had been living up to that point, she mercilessly hunted down Wolverine, whom she blamed for having the genetic material that allowed her to exist. Once Logan got through to her, she began targetting HYDRA operatives, which led to her blowing up the organization's headquarters.

* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: She disappears in Season 3 without any mention. When she last appeared she tells Mystique that she'll be involved in a plot to bring back an ancient mutant, but by Mystique's next appearence, she's working with Mesmero to bring back Apocalypse without any mention or reason.

* RefusedTheCall: Decides to become a professional surfer rather than join the X-Men. He still keeps in touch with Scott though.

-->'''Codename:''' [[ComicBook/WarrenWorthingtonIII Angel]]

* AdaptationalHeroism: Angel was always a hero in the comics, but he turned into a villian after being turned into Archangel in the 1980s thanks to Mystique. Here, he remains as Angel throghout the show's run.

* HeelRealization: She helped Hydra create the perfect soldier, X-23. When she realized that HYDRA couldn’t control X-23 and growing to care for her, Deborah defected to S.H.I.E.L.D..

* CanonForeigner: Subverted. She appears to be a character created for the show, when in reality [[spoiler:she is just Mystique in disguise]]. She does, however, bear some resemblance to ComicBook/{{Psylocke}}.

* EyeColourChange: [[spoiler:Exaggerated. Sometimes when no one is looking, Risty’s hazel eyes change back into Mystique’s cat-like ones, complete with the [[GlowingEyesOfDoom glowing yellow]].]]

* TheMole: [[spoiler:Risty is actually Mystique’s alternate persona which she uses as a cover to get inside the mansion and obtain data files of the X-Men and the Scarlet Witch.]]

-->'''Codename:''' ComicBook/CaptainAmerica

* HumanPopsicle: [[spoiler:Is currently in stasis until they can find a cure for the part of the Super-Soldier Serum that is slowly killing him.]]

\* BeautyBrainsAndBrawn: The Brawn to Kitty’s Beauty and Jean’s Brains. She’s the most aggressive, with a rebellious attitude and a TouchOfDeath power by skin contact that works wonders in a fist fight.

\* BeautyBrainsAndBrawn: The Beauty to Jean’s Brains and Rogue’s Brawn. She’s a cute ValleyGirl and the most feminine of the X-Men girls.

\* ADayInTheLimelight: Ends up getting two focal episodes, "Walk On the Wild Side" and "Cruise Control".

* BadassInCharge: That "Director of S.H.I.E.L.D." title isn't just for show.

%%* AsianAirhead

\* BeneathTheMask: Tabitha is apparently cheerful and always tries to make people have fun. However, this is no doubt part of her efforts to disassociate herself from her own difficult childhood and parental issues.
