[[caption-width-right:300:''"The future came to me in that craft -- I have embraced it and merged with its power so that I may lead the evolution of the human race."'']]
-->'''Codename:''' [[Characters/MarvelComicsApocalypse Apocalypse]]
-->'''Real Name:''' En Sabah Nur
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/DavidKaye [[labelnote:Foreign [=VAs=]]]Martin Spinhayer (FR)[[/labelnote]]
Apocalypse is an ancient Egyptian mutant; he's the oldest character on the show, and also the most powerful. Millennia ago, he conquered Egypt and planned to use advanced technology (stolen from the previous Pharaoh, who had "[[AncientAstronauts descended from the sky]]") to reshape the world in his own image- turning many humans into mutants, and killing the rest. His court balked at the idea and [[SealedEvilInACan used his own technology to imprison him]]; however, Apocalypse was still able to reach out telepathically and manipulate his release. Steals the spotlight from Magneto as premier villain in the later part of the series.
----
* AdaptationalBadass: This version of the character may be the strongest, and he's slightly less evil.
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Downplayed, but regular Apocalypse is an utter monster. This version's a WellIntentionedExtremist who genuinely believes he knows what's best for humans and mutants alike.
* AdaptationPersonalityChange: Most versions of Apocalypse are enormously hammy, but this take on him is quiet and stoic.
* BaldOfEvil: He's big, blue, bad and totally bald.
* BigBad: Season 3 and especially in Season 4.
* ColdHam: His speeches are as dramatic as his voice is cold and stoic.
* ContinuityNod: Beast mentions that Apocalypse stole his tech from Pharaoh Rama-Tut. This is true in the comics as well, where Rama-Tut was an alias of Kang the Conqueror.
* CurbStompBattle: Practically every time he fights someone, it ends like this. There is one time when Storm gives him pause, but even that was brief.
* [[AliensSpeakingEnglish Egyptian Mutant Speaks English]]: Possibly justified when Xavier is communicating with him mentally, but later we see him speaking plain English even though he was sealed before the language even existed - though given that he's psychic, to one degree or another, he probably picked it up from his followers.
* FinalBoss: Due to the show's fifth season being cancelled and events only mentioned via psychic vision, Apocalypse becomes the final threat the X-Men have to deal with in the series.
* FreudianExcuse: Abandoned at birth due to his obvious mutations, adopted by a tribe of violent raiders who imparted their "only the strong are worthy" ethos that later became a defining element of his character, saw his entire tribe killed and also saw his adoptive father die in front of him not long after as a result of Rama Tut's attempts to find him and kill him... his formative years definitely weren't pleasant. He's still an absolutely vile being, but it's not hard to see how he became as awful as he is.
* KnightOfCerebus: He shifts the narrative to a much more dramatic tone once he appears, due to being the most powerful Mutant introduced in the series (to the point he [[TheWorfEffect effortlessly defeats]] Storm and Magneto), and his plan to convert the planet's humans into mutants would most likely result in at ''least'' half of the world's population dying.
* LightIsNotGood: He appeared as a divine glowing godlike pharaoh in his first appearance and his given name is associated with the light. He's a villain.
* MeaningfulName: His ''given'' name is translated as "The First One" - as he's the first mutant.
* MindControl: Pulled this on Storm, Professor X, Mystique, and Magneto to make them do his bidding as his Horsemen.
* PhysicalGod: He's basically untouchable, as long as he's aware and not occupied with something else.
** Putting it simply; he grabbed Rogue and drained power from HER, not the other way around.
* PowerFloats: Constantly. Seriously, you can count on one hand the number of times he stands on the ground.
* PowerGlows: When dressed as a Pharaoh, in a very clear case of LightIsNotGood. Also, see the TronLines all over his body.
* PoweredArmor: Advanced armor that enhances his already formidable superpowers and possibly granting him new ones.
* PsychicPowers: Telepathy and telekinesis. At the very least his psychic defenses are formidable enough to make even the likes of Professor X think twice about trying to read his mind.
* TheQuietOne: In contrast to [[LargeHam other versions of the character]], this one hardly ever speaks at all. It makes him all the more creepy.
* SealedEvilInACan: He was sealed in a sarcophagus below a pyramid many thousands of years ago.. Mesmero enslaves Rogue to use her abilities to free him.
* SmugSuper: It becomes apparent when he speaks to Xavier, all captivated by a smirk.
--> '''Apocalypse:''' Hmph. Since when has mankind ever known what it needs?
* StoryBreakerPower: He's nearly invulnerable, can fly, and has [[SuperPowerLottery an impressive list of abilities]]. He's strong enough that he defeated Storm and Magneto, two of the series' most powerful mutants, with very little effort.
* {{Technopathy}}: His PoweredArmor lets him interact with and take control of virtually any computer system that he wishes to.
* {{Telepathy}}: He possesses a very advanced form of it. Being so far above Professor X that the latter needs to use a fully tuned Cerebro just to get his attention.
* {{Teleportation}}: One of the abilities he has that's confirmed to be technological rather than biological in nature.
* TrainingFromHell: His entire childhood was basically this at the hands of his adoptive father Baal.
* VisionaryVillain: His plan was horrific in its scope and cost, but you can't deny the man has vision.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: He sincerely believes that what he's doing is best for humanity, and as mentioned above, he doesn't care if humanity doesn't agree with him.
* WorldsStrongestMan: The most powerful Mutant in the world, even moreso once he merged with the futuristic technology left behind by Rama-Tut. The first indicator we get of En Sabah Nur's power is that even while entombed and sealed behind three gates, he's still able to send out psychic signals that stump ''Xavier'', who acknowledges it to be the most powerful mind he's ever encountered. Once released he's shown to be so strong that the combined might of the [[EnemyMine X-Men and Brotherhood]] can't stand against him, including Magneto, Wolverine and Professor X. Apocalypse effortlessly wins every fight we see him involved in and can only be defeated by being locked back inside his sarcophagus.

[[caption-width-right:320:''"You don't know who you're interfering with here..."'']]
-->'''Codename:''' Mesmero
-->'''Real Name:''' Unknown
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/RonHalder [[labelnote:Foreign [=VAs=]]]Pierre Bodson (FR)[[/labelnote]]
Apocalypse's servant; whether a mutant, a mystic, or something different is unknown, but he possesses psychic abilities that allow him to confront even Xavier on his own level. Believing himself to be a servant of destiny, he manipulated both the X-men and the Acolytes to steal the three keys to Apocalypse's prison, expecting to be rewarded by being made his right hand. Instead, upon gaining his freedom the ancient mutant withdrew his minion's powers and left him to his fate.
----
* AdaptationalBadass: A literal case of StrongAsTheyNeedToBe he might be, but this Mesmero (as Apocalypse's main acolyte) was overall much more threatening and menacing that the comic version.
* ArcVillain: Of Season 3, due to being the one who is trying to free Apocalypse.
* BaldOfEvil: Mesmero is bald, with arcane markings on his face and head. Much creepier than the original.
* TheDragon: To Apocalypse: while Mesmero is much weaker physically, he has the advantage of being able to move freely.
* EvilIsNotAToy: Which he learns when Apocalypse abandons him.
* HypnotizeTheCaptive: The first victim that he brainwashes is Jean Grey.
* MindRape: Mesmero introduces himself to the audience by turning a sleeping Jean's dreams into nightmares.
* PowerTattoo: Those green patterns on his face.
%%* PsychicPowers
%%* RedEyesTakeWarning
%%* SmugSnake
%%* SquishyWizard
* StrongAsTheyNeedToBe: Probably literally; whatever his own abilities, Apocalypse is clearly enhancing them, so that Mesmero's psychic strength varies from episode to episode depending on how much power Apocalypse is letting him use.
* VillainDecay: The X-Men easily capture him in his last appearance, due to him [[JustifiedTrope no longer being augmented by Apocalypse]].

[[folder:The Juggernaut]]
[[quoteright:320:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jugg.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:320:''"What are you trying to do? Embarrass me to death? Come on, gimme your best shot!"'']]
-->'''Codename:''' Characters/{{Juggernaut|MarvelComics}}
-->'''Real Name:''' Cain Marko
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/PaulDobson
Charles Xavier's half-brother and most feared enemy. Unlike in the comics, he used mysticism to awaken his dormant X-gene giving him the mutant ability to be virtually invulnerable. Due to his destructive nature, Xavier was responsible for Juggernaut's incarceration in a maximum security prison which causes Cain to utterly despise his half-brother. Although Mystique has tried to form an alliance with Juggernaut, he will not remain loyal to anyone and will only follow his own agenda.
----
* AdaptationalSpeciesChange: The show split the difference in relation to the Juggernaut. Instead of being a full-blooded mutant (like in the movie) or a man given powers by a magic relic (like in the comics), Juggernaut was described as having a dormant mutant gene that he "awakened with mysticism".
* AdaptationalVillainy: He's much more heartless than in the comics. This incarnation derails a train in his first appearance and tries to murder Mystique [[EvilIsPetty for yelling at him]] even though [[UngratefulBastard she broke him out of prison]]. In his second episode, he tries to flood a village and kill thousands of people seemingly ForTheEvulz, something the original would never do.
* AttackItsWeakPoint: In The episode "Survival of the Fittest", this is what was led to a fight with the Juggernaut that consisted of the X-Men and Brotherhood working together to try to get his helmet off so Professor X could use his telepathy to stop him.
* CainAndAbel: The Cain to Xavier's Abel.
* CoolHelmet: Juggernaut has a huge helmet that protects him from PsychicPowers, which is very handy when your half-brother is the world's strongest telepath.
* DoingInTheWizard: He got his powers through mysticism like the comics, except it turns out the Gem of Cytorrak he used in them actually emits a form of radiation that activates and amplifies mutant powers.
* TheDreaded: Treated as this by Professor X in his first appearance, and rightly so. He is so afraid of him that he had Storm hide his movements from the police and the army, for their protection, not Juggernaut's. It took all X-Men including Wolverine and Storm, Professor X, the X-Mansion's defenses ''and'' the Brotherhood lending a hand to defeat Juggernaut the first time.
* EvilIsHammy: "I'M RAAAAW POWAAAARH!!!"
* EvilIsNotAToy: Mystique lets him out of jail to kill Xavier and hopes it will help her steal Cerebro. It might have worked fine if she didn't go [[BullyingTheDragon insulting him when he didn't obey her]].
* FreudianExcuse: It's not really fleshed out, but Charles states Cain hates him because much like the comics, he blames his brother for [[AbusiveParents how their father treated him.]]
* GenericDoomsdayVillain: In his second appearance, he doesn't have any real motive for anything he does and just wreaks random destruction for no apparent reason, not even mentioning Xavier despite killing him being his original goal in his first appearance.
* TheJuggernaut: As usual, there's very little that can stop him when he gets moving. He takes on the X-Men and the Brotherhood at the ''same'' time and keeps moving. He's only stopped by multiple psychic attacks from Xavier when they remove his helmet.
* LightningBruiser: He's huge, he's very strong, and he's much faster than his bulk would indicate.
* NameOfCain: Cain is his real name, and quite fittingly, he wants to kill his brother.
* NighInvulnerability: ''Nothing'' seems to have any ability to physically harm him.
* OneManArmy: When he first was released from prison by Mystique, Storm actually created a mass of fog to make sure that the police and the army could not find him, because Xavier was concerned about the army being in danger if they attacked him, not the other way around. From his second appearance, that was no an exaggeration. The police and the army were powerless against him.
* RelatedDifferentlyInTheAdaptation: Juggernaut and Xavier are changed from stepbrothers to half-brothers.
* SuperStrength: The most of any character in the series.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Gets tossed away by Rogue after draining his strength, followed by Iceman encasing him in ice as he's falling down into a dam and he isn't seen again.

[[folder:The Sentinels]]
[[quoteright:320:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/original_54.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:320:A Sentinel]]
Massive robots created by Bolivar Trask to hunt down and capture mutants. One was enough to provide an even match for the X-Men, Brotherhood, and Acolytes before eventually being taken down. More were built by S.H.I.E.L.D. to fight Apocalypse.
----
* AdaptationalBadass: Sentinels in most other continuities are more or less disposable {{Giant Mook}}s. The versions in this show are far more powerful and weaponized, to the point that the first ''prototype'' in the series is enough to give the X-Men serious trouble, and three completed variants are able to harm ''Apocalypse'' before being defeated.
%%* BackForTheFinale
* BrokeYourArmPunchingOutCthulhu: A trio of them were the first opponents to ''hurt Apocalypse'', which is something even Magneto failed to do. Unfortunately, he proceeded to rip them apart.
* TheCameo: In "Ghost of a Chance", courtesy of [[NightmareSequence Danielle's powers]].
* TheDreaded: They are revealed to be this to Xavier in the aforementioned episode, who has a nightmare where the military and dozens of Sentinels attack the mansion.
%%* ChestBlaster
%%* EnergyWeapon
%%* HumongousMecha
* KnightOfCerebus: The prototype's fight with the X-Men exposes the existence of mutants, and leads to the capture of several members.
%%* MacrossMissileMassacre
* MadeOfIron: The first Sentinel wouldn't stop fighting no matter what. A projectile from Spyke, Storm's lightning and a grenade tossed by Kurt wouldn't slow it down. It's his own missiles hurled back at him by Magneto that finally destroyed it.
* MoreDakka: Each one carries an enormous amount of firepower, enough to damage Apocalypse's pyramids and fight the Four Horsemen.
* TheVoiceless: Unlike their comic book counterpart and most versions, they do not speak.

[[folder:Colonel Bolivar Trask]]
-->'''Voiced by:''' John Novak [[labelnote:Foreign [=VAs=]]]Alain Louis (FR)[[/labelnote]]
An ex-S.H.I.E.L.D. scientist who eventually left the organization to work on his own on what he viewed as the threat of mutantkind, eventually creating the Sentinels.
----
* AdaptationalBadass: The original Trask was essentially a scientist. Here, he is portrayed as having worked for S.H.I.E.L.D., a paramilitary organization, even holding the rank of colonel during that time, and leading his own team of agents.
* AdaptationalJobChange: Trask in the comics is an anthropologist, while in the show he is a military scientist.
* AdaptationalVillainy: Although the Trask from the comics was wary of mutants, he envisioned the Sentinels as defensive weapons who he lost control of. This version tests his prototype on Wolverine, and even sets it loose on a group of teenage mutants.
* FantasticRacism: Chronologically one of the first humans of the show to be openly hostile to mutants as a whole on the basis of what they are, and the first to take actions against them.
* 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 villainous 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.

[[folder:Hungan]]
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/BluMankuma
A witch doctor who once was worshiped by a small tribe of Kenyans. He reigned over the tribe until Storm drove him out, and was proclaimed the tribe's Goddess. Ten years later Hungan regained control of the tribe after Storm joined the X-Men, but sought revenge against her for being usurped initially. It is unclear if he is a mutant, relies on magic, or a combination of the two.
----
* AttackItsWeakPoint: He drains Storm's powers into his scepter by using her fears of claustrophobia against her.
* CanonForeigner: He does not have a comic book counterpart.
* GratuitousForeignLanguage: Kiswahili is used by Hungan, as well as by the members of the tribe he leads.
* ReligionIsMagic: Hungan is able to control Storm with his voodoo magic.
* TheResenter: He has always been jealous of Storm for having mutant powers that made her a literal goddess in their African village.
* MeaningfulName: Hungan's name is a Haitian term referring to the chief voodoo priest.
* MindControl: He captures Storm's soul into his scepter, giving him the ability to control her body and uses her to attack the X-Men.
* ATwinkleInTheSky: When Spyke manages to free Storm from his control, an enraged Storm hits him with a gust that knocks him into the sky. He is not shown coming down.
* WrongContextMagic: Unlike many characters he doesn't seem to be a mutant at all and uses voodoo magic, which isn't an element common to most ''X-Men'' media.

-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/DaleWilson [[labelnote:Foreign [=VAs=]]]Creator/TarusukeShingaki (JP)[[/labelnote]]
The second principal of Bayville High. He carried suspicions about the mutant teens which became full-blown prejudice when they were publicly revealed, causing him to make reforms at the high school. Later, he ran for mayor of Bayville competing with the falsely heroic Brotherhood for media attention, a nod to his career as a politician in the comics.
-----
* AdaptationNameChange: In the comics, his first name is Robert, but it's changed to Edward here.
* AssholeVictim: He gets threatened by the Brotherhood into leaving them out of his anti-mutant campaign in "No Good Deed". Considering that he's a bigot who treats mutants like crap (and also encourages others to do so), [[UngratefulBastard even when they save his life]], it's hard to feel any sympathy for him.
* DeanBitterman: He already had some of this on earlier seasons, but by the end if you happened to be a mutant on his campus, he turned it up a notch -- removal of any recognition you may have gotten through "cheating" with your mutant powers (even if said charging is wholly unfounded), treating you as if you had a disability (if not worse), looking the other way on BullyBrutality of mutant students, the works.
* DeathGlare: One of two ways he constantly looks at people, the second one being [[SmugSnake a smug sneer]].
* FantasticRacism: The man doesn't even try to disguise his hatred of mutants when they are publicly revealed, and pretty much looks down his nose at any of them every time he talks, even ones he used to consider ace students (like Jean Grey).
* FourEyesZeroSoul: Definitely if you're a mutant.
* FreudianExcuse: It's heavily implying that Edward Kelly used to be a more open-minded person, but when The Brotherhood attacked the school in the episode Growing Pains and when Professor X erased the memory of every person to school to keep the secrets of mutants, he failed to erase Edward Kelly memory because he blacked out. Professor X even wondered if he successfully erased Edward Kelly's memory. While not outright confirmed, that would explain some of his change in behavior in his first appearance when he makes a speech that every student has unique talents, to being anti-mutant when mutants are revealed to be public to make a speech about people having advantages over others in his last appearance. Seeing the Brotherhood recking havoc, seeing everyone else's memory being erased, and having to keep it a secret would have probably soured his opinions on mutants.
* HateSink: After Duncan, he's the most loathsome character in the show.
* MythologyGag: In one of the final arcs, he made mention of running for Mayor with an anti-mutant campaign focus.
* ProperlyParanoid: His hatred of mutants is universal, but maniacs like Magneto and Apocalypse do make clear there's some reality behind it.
%%* SinisterShades
* SuperRegistrationAct: The Mutant Registration Act, which he wishes to implement if he's elected mayor. [[WhatHappenedToTheMouse The series ends without showing if he's elected, let alone him implementing this]], and it is one of the things Xavier's future vision doesn't show.
* SmugSnake: That sneer he has in his profile picture is pretty much his standard expression, only change he does is moving his head so he'll be looking down his nose (literally) at mutants.
* TyrantTakesTheHelm: Whatever other flaws [[spoiler:Mystique may have had ([[EvilIsPetty because of being]] [[FemmeFatale Mystique]])]], she never (well, blatantly) exploited her rank as principal to make students' lives hell (not even Xavier's).
* UngratefulBastard: He doesn't show any gratitude towards the X-Men for saving him from the Brotherhood, instead talking about how he'll have all mutants thrown out of Bayville.

-->'''Voiced by:''' Vincent Gale [[labelnote:Foreign [=VAs=]]]Bruno Mullenaerts (FR)[[/labelnote]]
A jock who attends Bayville High and is Jean's first boyfriend for the first two seasons, until she breaks up with him at the beginning of the third season. He later starts terrorizing mutants.
----
* TheBully: Picks on numerous characters, especially Toad and Blob.
* CanonForeigner: He's a character original to the show.
* DecompositeCharacter: He is the replacement of Wolverine for being Cyclops's love rival for Jean Grey.
* {{Expy}}: As his relationship with Jean goes awry and his hatred of mutants grow, he starts to resemble a teenage version of Graydon Creed in both appearance and personality, to the point where he leads vicious Anti-Mutant hate crimes much like the Friends of Humanity.
* FantasticRacism: It's one of his defining traits from the third season onwards. He even refers to Jean's powers as a "problem" when trying to reassure her that he's okay with them, which leads to her breaking up with him. He only gets worse in the fourth season, as he leads witch hunts against mutants, even attempting to ''shoot'' a mutant child.
* HateSink: While the first two seasons merely depict Duncan as a bully, by the time season 3 rolls around and the identity of mutants are made public, the show pretty much made '''no''' attempt to redeem Duncan in any way, where he turns into a full-blown {{Jerkass}} who's willing to instigate a fight between the Xavier students who are forbidden from using their powers in public and promote hatred towards mutants, culminating in Duncan obtaining industrial-grade laser weapons in an attempt to hunt and kill mutants who did no wrong against him. Sure enough, ''nobody'' bats an eye towards his ultimate comeuppance [[spoiler: of being arrested and imprisoned for using illegal weapons in public]], and his absence in subsequent episodes will NOT be missed.
* ItsAllAboutMe: When trying to reconcile with Jean, he says that he's willing to overlook her "problem"... as it means that she can help him cheat on his tests.
* JerkJock: Duncan's the star football player at Bayville High and he often bullies those less popular and physically weaker than him.
** He antagonizes Scott whenever he can after the existence of mutants has been revealed to the public. One notable instance occurs after Jean breaks up with him.
** He gets worse by Season 4, as he starts terrorizing other mutant students.
* LaserGuidedKarma: He and his fellow bigots are taken into police custody after attacking mutants in "Uprising".
* NeverMyFault: He blames Scott for Jean breaking up with him, even though it was his insensitive remark about her powers that did it as mentioned under "Fantastic Racism" above. Scott even calls him out on it:
-->Yeah, blame it on me, lunkhead.
* RomanticFalseLead: To Jean. He is an alpha dog jerkass type, who played the BitchInSheepsClothing trope (while he made it clear he was a jerk, he treated Jean ''far'' nicer than he treats anyone else), and when they break up, lets just say he takes his jerkary to a whole new level.
* WouldHurtAChild: In "Uprising", he's about to ''shoot'' Leech, who's just a little boy who happens to be a mutant, forcing Spyke to [[TakingTheBullet take the energy blast]].

[[folder:Legion]]
-->'''Codename:''' Legion
-->'''Real Name:''' David Haller
-->'''Voiced by:''' Kyle Labine [[labelnote:Foreign [=VAs=]]]Nessym Guetat (FR)[[/labelnote]]
The son of Charles Xavier and Gabrielle Haller. He closely resembled his father, Professor X, and had inherited his psionic powers, but here Legion was also able to shapeshift between his various personalities. Originally, Comic!Legion's personalities developed due to mental disorders; in Evolution however they are manifestations of repressed feelings. David Haller, the "true" personality, though disappointed in his father's absence, holds no real hostility, and seems to have no discernible powers. The dominant personality, Lucas, a Scottish punk, demonstrates a hatred of Xavier and believes that he was abandoned in favor of other mutants. He has psychic abilities superior to Jean's (formidable by this point in the series) and even caused Professor X's attempt to suppress him to backfire. Finally, a young, mute boy named Ian possessed pyrokinesis, including the ability to create fire at will. His motivations remain unknown, but it seems he sided with Lucas.
-----
* AdaptationalWimp: This version of David has been reduced from one of the most powerful beings in the universe with thousands of powers and personalities to a very strong mutant with only pyrokinesis, telekinesis, telepathy, limited shapeshifting, and limited alternate-personality manifestation.
* AlternateIdentityAmnesia: As with real-life cases of DID, David has no memory of his alters' actions.
* AntagonisticOffspring: Not so much with David himself, who is only somewhat resentful of never knowing his father. But with Lucas, who wants to use Xavier's mind powers to free himself from the other alternates, and Ian, who supported Lucas in his plans, though likely without knowing his true intentions.
* BlessedWithSuck: Legion sure won the SuperpowerLottery... expect that ''David'', the core personality, can't use the powers that belong to his splinter personalities and seems to have no mutant powers of his own.
* CompositeCharacter: This version of David has several qualities in common with Typhoid Mary, a fellow mutant with multiple personalities and power. Like Mary Walker, David has several radically different primary personalities with access to his different mutant powers being divided among them. David takes the place of "Innocent Mary", the quiet and harmless personality with no access to their powers, Lucas takes the place of both "Typhoid" and "Bloody Mary", both of whom are quite hostile and violent in different ways, and Ian somewhat takes the place of "Walker", a more moderate personality compared to the others. David changing forms with each personality is similar to how each of Mary's personalities are so distinct that Daredevil's super senses register each of them as a different individual. When the other personalities were locked away and Lucas was left in full control, he is similar to Typhoid Mary, a much more stable fusion of Mary's main personalities with access to their collective skills and mutant abilities.
* CreepyChild: Ian.
* DisappearedDad: His father had no knowledge that he had a son with his ex-wife, Gabrielle.
* DoNotCallMePaul: Calling Lucas by his birth name David. Justified, though, as they really are separate personalities inhabiting the same body.
* EnemyWithin: Lucas started as one of the three personalities in the MindHive of David Haller and would both manipulate David himself and take control of their body...
* EnemyWithout: Then Lucas becomes this after having Xavier lock David and Ian's identities away and Lucas becoming the core personality of their body.
%%* FlipPersonality
* {{Humanshifting}}: David's mutation caused his dissociative identity disorder to actually manifest his two, alternate personalities, altering his body in a manner similar to shapeshifting. However, he always retains the same blond hair and blue eyes.
%%* MindOverMatter
* NotQuiteFlight: Lucas' telekinesis enables him to effectively fly.
* PlayingWithFire: Ian displays having pyrokinetic powers.
* PsychicPowers: His mutant powers are {{Telepathy}} and {{Telekinesis}} among other abilities.
%%* SplitPersonalityTakeover: Charles Xavier discovers he has a son in Scotland and goes to meet him, only for two other boys to enter the fray as well. These three boys (David, Ian, and Lucas) are all part of the same being

-->'''Real Name:''' En Sabah Nur
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/DavidKaye [[labelnote:Foreign [=VAs=]]]Martin Spinhayer (FR)[[/labelnote]]
Apocalypse is an ancient Egyptian mutant; he's the oldest character on the show, and also the most powerful. Millennia ago, he conquered Egypt and planned to use advanced technology (stolen from the previous Pharaoh, who had "[[AncientAstronauts descended from the sky]]") to reshape the world in his own image- turning many humans into mutants, and killing the rest. His court balked at the idea and [[SealedEvilInACan used his own technology to imprison him]]; however, Apocalypse was still able to reach out telepathically and manipulate his release. Steals the spotlight from Magneto as premier villain in the later part of the series.
----
* AdaptationalBadass: This version of the character may be the strongest, and he's slightly less evil.
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Downplayed, but regular Apocalypse is an utter monster. This version's a WellIntentionedExtremist who genuinely believes he knows what's best for humans and mutants alike.
* AdaptationPersonalityChange: Most versions of Apocalypse are enormously hammy, but this take on him is quiet and stoic.
* BaldOfEvil: He's big, blue, bad and totally bald.
* BigBad: Season 3 and especially in Season 4.
* ColdHam: His speeches are as dramatic as his voice is cold and stoic.
* ContinuityNod: Beast mentions that Apocalypse stole his tech from Pharaoh Rama-Tut. This is true in the comics as well, where Rama-Tut was an alias of Kang the Conqueror.
* CurbStompBattle: Practically every time he fights someone, it ends like this. There is one time when Storm gives him pause, but even that was brief.
* [[AliensSpeakingEnglish Egyptian Mutant Speaks English]]: Possibly justified when Xavier is communicating with him mentally, but later we see him speaking plain English even though he was sealed before the language even existed - though given that he's psychic, to one degree or another, he probably picked it up from his followers.
* FinalBoss: Due to the show's fifth season being cancelled and events only mentioned via psychic vision, Apocalypse becomes the final threat the X-Men have to deal with in the series.
* FreudianExcuse: Abandoned at birth due to his obvious mutations, adopted by a tribe of violent raiders who imparted their "only the strong are worthy" ethos that later became a defining element of his character, saw his entire tribe killed and also saw his adoptive father die in front of him not long after as a result of Rama Tut's attempts to find him and kill him... his formative years definitely weren't pleasant. He's still an absolutely vile being, but it's not hard to see how he became as awful as he is.
* KnightOfCerebus: He shifts the narrative to a much more dramatic tone once he appears, due to being the most powerful Mutant introduced in the series (to the point he [[TheWorfEffect effortlessly defeats]] Storm and Magneto), and his plan to convert the planet's humans into mutants would most likely result in at ''least'' half of the world's population dying.
* LightIsNotGood: He appeared as a divine glowing godlike pharaoh in his first appearance and his given name is associated with the light. He's a villain.
* MeaningfulName: His ''given'' name is translated as "The First One" - as he's the first mutant.
* MindControl: Pulled this on Storm, Professor X, Mystique, and Magneto to make them do his bidding as his Horsemen.
* PhysicalGod: He's basically untouchable, as long as he's aware and not occupied with something else.
** Putting it simply; he grabbed Rogue and drained power from HER, not the other way around.
* PowerFloats: Constantly. Seriously, you can count on one hand the number of times he stands on the ground.
* PowerGlows: When dressed as a Pharaoh, in a very clear case of LightIsNotGood. Also, see the TronLines all over his body.
* PoweredArmor: Advanced armor that enhances his already formidable superpowers and possibly granting him new ones.
* PsychicPowers: Telepathy and telekinesis. At the very least his psychic defenses are formidable enough to make even the likes of Professor X think twice about trying to read his mind.
* TheQuietOne: In contrast to [[LargeHam other versions of the character]], this one hardly ever speaks at all. It makes him all the more creepy.
* SealedEvilInACan: He was sealed in a sarcophagus below a pyramid many thousands of years ago.. Mesmero enslaves Rogue to use her abilities to free him.
* SmugSuper: It becomes apparent when he speaks to Xavier, all captivated by a smirk.
--> '''Apocalypse:''' Hmph. Since when has mankind ever known what it needs?
* StoryBreakerPower: He's nearly invulnerable, can fly, and has [[SuperPowerLottery an impressive list of abilities]]. He's strong enough that he defeated Storm and Magneto, two of the series' most powerful mutants, with very little effort.
* {{Technopathy}}: His PoweredArmor lets him interact with and take control of virtually any computer system that he wishes to.
* {{Telepathy}}: He possesses a very advanced form of it. Being so far above Professor X that the latter needs to use a fully tuned Cerebro just to get his attention.
* {{Teleportation}}: One of the abilities he has that's confirmed to be technological rather than biological in nature.
* TrainingFromHell: His entire childhood was basically this at the hands of his adoptive father Baal.
* VisionaryVillain: His plan was horrific in its scope and cost, but you can't deny the man has vision.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: He sincerely believes that what he's doing is best for humanity, and as mentioned above, he doesn't care if humanity doesn't agree with him.
* WorldsStrongestMan: The most powerful Mutant in the world, even moreso once he merged with the futuristic technology left behind by Rama-Tut. The first indicator we get of En Sabah Nur's power is that even while entombed and sealed behind three gates, he's still able to send out psychic signals that stump ''Xavier'', who acknowledges it to be the most powerful mind he's ever encountered. Once released he's shown to be so strong that the combined might of the [[EnemyMine X-Men and Brotherhood]] can't stand against him, including Magneto, Wolverine and Professor X. Apocalypse effortlessly wins every fight we see him involved in and can only be defeated by being locked back inside his sarcophagus.

[[caption-width-right:320:''"You don't know who you're interfering with here..."'']]
-->'''Codename:''' Mesmero
-->'''Real Name:''' Unknown
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/RonHalder [[labelnote:Foreign [=VAs=]]]Pierre Bodson (FR)[[/labelnote]]
Apocalypse's servant; whether a mutant, a mystic, or something different is unknown, but he possesses psychic abilities that allow him to confront even Xavier on his own level. Believing himself to be a servant of destiny, he manipulated both the X-men and the Acolytes to steal the three keys to Apocalypse's prison, expecting to be rewarded by being made his right hand. Instead, upon gaining his freedom the ancient mutant withdrew his minion's powers and left him to his fate.
----
* AdaptationalBadass: A literal case of StrongAsTheyNeedToBe he might be, but this Mesmero (as Apocalypse's main acolyte) was overall much more threatening and menacing that the comic version.
* ArcVillain: Of Season 3, due to being the one who is trying to free Apocalypse.
* BaldOfEvil: Mesmero is bald, with arcane markings on his face and head. Much creepier than the original.
* TheDragon: To Apocalypse: while Mesmero is much weaker physically, he has the advantage of being able to move freely.
* EvilIsNotAToy: Which he learns when Apocalypse abandons him.
* HypnotizeTheCaptive: The first victim that he brainwashes is Jean Grey.
* MindRape: Mesmero introduces himself to the audience by turning a sleeping Jean's dreams into nightmares.
* PowerTattoo: Those green patterns on his face.
%%* PsychicPowers
%%* RedEyesTakeWarning
%%* SmugSnake
%%* SquishyWizard
* StrongAsTheyNeedToBe: Probably literally; whatever his own abilities, Apocalypse is clearly enhancing them, so that Mesmero's psychic strength varies from episode to episode depending on how much power Apocalypse is letting him use.
* VillainDecay: The X-Men easily capture him in his last appearance, due to him [[JustifiedTrope no longer being augmented by Apocalypse]].

[[folder:The Juggernaut]]
[[quoteright:320:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jugg.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:320:''"What are you trying to do? Embarrass me to death? Come on, gimme your best shot!"'']]
-->'''Codename:''' Characters/{{Juggernaut|MarvelComics}}
-->'''Real Name:''' Cain Marko
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/PaulDobson
Charles Xavier's half-brother and most feared enemy. Unlike in the comics, he used mysticism to awaken his dormant X-gene giving him the mutant ability to be virtually invulnerable. Due to his destructive nature, Xavier was responsible for Juggernaut's incarceration in a maximum security prison which causes Cain to utterly despise his half-brother. Although Mystique has tried to form an alliance with Juggernaut, he will not remain loyal to anyone and will only follow his own agenda.
----
* AdaptationalSpeciesChange: The show split the difference in relation to the Juggernaut. Instead of being a full-blooded mutant (like in the movie) or a man given powers by a magic relic (like in the comics), Juggernaut was described as having a dormant mutant gene that he "awakened with mysticism".
* AdaptationalVillainy: He's much more heartless than in the comics. This incarnation derails a train in his first appearance and tries to murder Mystique [[EvilIsPetty for yelling at him]] even though [[UngratefulBastard she broke him out of prison]]. In his second episode, he tries to flood a village and kill thousands of people seemingly ForTheEvulz, something the original would never do.
* AttackItsWeakPoint: In The episode "Survival of the Fittest", this is what was led to a fight with the Juggernaut that consisted of the X-Men and Brotherhood working together to try to get his helmet off so Professor X could use his telepathy to stop him.
* CainAndAbel: The Cain to Xavier's Abel.
* CoolHelmet: Juggernaut has a huge helmet that protects him from PsychicPowers, which is very handy when your half-brother is the world's strongest telepath.
* DoingInTheWizard: He got his powers through mysticism like the comics, except it turns out the Gem of Cytorrak he used in them actually emits a form of radiation that activates and amplifies mutant powers.
* TheDreaded: Treated as this by Professor X in his first appearance, and rightly so. He is so afraid of him that he had Storm hide his movements from the police and the army, for their protection, not Juggernaut's. It took all X-Men including Wolverine and Storm, Professor X, the X-Mansion's defenses ''and'' the Brotherhood lending a hand to defeat Juggernaut the first time.
* EvilIsHammy: "I'M RAAAAW POWAAAARH!!!"
* EvilIsNotAToy: Mystique lets him out of jail to kill Xavier and hopes it will help her steal Cerebro. It might have worked fine if she didn't go [[BullyingTheDragon insulting him when he didn't obey her]].
* FreudianExcuse: It's not really fleshed out, but Charles states Cain hates him because much like the comics, he blames his brother for [[AbusiveParents how their father treated him.]]
* GenericDoomsdayVillain: In his second appearance, he doesn't have any real motive for anything he does and just wreaks random destruction for no apparent reason, not even mentioning Xavier despite killing him being his original goal in his first appearance.
* TheJuggernaut: As usual, there's very little that can stop him when he gets moving. He takes on the X-Men and the Brotherhood at the ''same'' time and keeps moving. He's only stopped by multiple psychic attacks from Xavier when they remove his helmet.
* LightningBruiser: He's huge, he's very strong, and he's much faster than his bulk would indicate.
* NameOfCain: Cain is his real name, and quite fittingly, he wants to kill his brother.
* NighInvulnerability: ''Nothing'' seems to have any ability to physically harm him.
* OneManArmy: When he first was released from prison by Mystique, Storm actually created a mass of fog to make sure that the police and the army could not find him, because Xavier was concerned about the army being in danger if they attacked him, not the other way around. From his second appearance, that was no an exaggeration. The police and the army were powerless against him.
* RelatedDifferentlyInTheAdaptation: Juggernaut and Xavier are changed from stepbrothers to half-brothers.
* SuperStrength: The most of any character in the series.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Gets tossed away by Rogue after draining his strength, followed by Iceman encasing him in ice as he's falling down into a dam and he isn't seen again.

[[folder:The Sentinels]]
[[quoteright:320:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/original_54.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:320:A Sentinel]]
Massive robots created by Bolivar Trask to hunt down and capture mutants. One was enough to provide an even match for the X-Men, Brotherhood, and Acolytes before eventually being taken down. More were built by S.H.I.E.L.D. to fight Apocalypse.
----
* AdaptationalBadass: Sentinels in most other continuities are more or less disposable {{Giant Mook}}s. The versions in this show are far more powerful and weaponized, to the point that the first ''prototype'' in the series is enough to give the X-Men serious trouble, and three completed variants are able to harm ''Apocalypse'' before being defeated.
%%* BackForTheFinale
* BrokeYourArmPunchingOutCthulhu: A trio of them were the first opponents to ''hurt Apocalypse'', which is something even Magneto failed to do. Unfortunately, he proceeded to rip them apart.
* TheCameo: In "Ghost of a Chance", courtesy of [[NightmareSequence Danielle's powers]].
* TheDreaded: They are revealed to be this to Xavier in the aforementioned episode, who has a nightmare where the military and dozens of Sentinels attack the mansion.
%%* ChestBlaster
%%* EnergyWeapon
%%* HumongousMecha
* KnightOfCerebus: The prototype's fight with the X-Men exposes the existence of mutants, and leads to the capture of several members.
%%* MacrossMissileMassacre
* MadeOfIron: The first Sentinel wouldn't stop fighting no matter what. A projectile from Spyke, Storm's lightning and a grenade tossed by Kurt wouldn't slow it down. It's his own missiles hurled back at him by Magneto that finally destroyed it.
* MoreDakka: Each one carries an enormous amount of firepower, enough to damage Apocalypse's pyramids and fight the Four Horsemen.
* TheVoiceless: Unlike their comic book counterpart and most versions, they do not speak.

[[folder:Colonel Bolivar Trask]]
-->'''Voiced by:''' John Novak [[labelnote:Foreign [=VAs=]]]Alain Louis (FR)[[/labelnote]]
An ex-S.H.I.E.L.D. scientist who eventually left the organization to work on his own on what he viewed as the threat of mutantkind, eventually creating the Sentinels.
----
* AdaptationalBadass: The original Trask was essentially a scientist. Here, he is portrayed as having worked for S.H.I.E.L.D., a paramilitary organization, even holding the rank of colonel during that time, and leading his own team of agents.
* AdaptationalJobChange: Trask in the comics is an anthropologist, while in the show he is a military scientist.
* AdaptationalVillainy: Although the Trask from the comics was wary of mutants, he envisioned the Sentinels as defensive weapons who he lost control of. This version tests his prototype on Wolverine, and even sets it loose on a group of teenage mutants.
* FantasticRacism: Chronologically one of the first humans of the show to be openly hostile to mutants as a whole on the basis of what they are, and the first to take actions against them.
* 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 villainous 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.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Hungan]]
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/BluMankuma
A witch doctor who once was worshiped by a small tribe of Kenyans. He reigned over the tribe until Storm drove him out, and was proclaimed the tribe's Goddess. Ten years later Hungan regained control of the tribe after Storm joined the X-Men, but sought revenge against her for being usurped initially. It is unclear if he is a mutant, relies on magic, or a combination of the two.
----
* AttackItsWeakPoint: He drains Storm's powers into his scepter by using her fears of claustrophobia against her.
* CanonForeigner: He does not have a comic book counterpart.
* GratuitousForeignLanguage: Kiswahili is used by Hungan, as well as by the members of the tribe he leads.
* ReligionIsMagic: Hungan is able to control Storm with his voodoo magic.
* TheResenter: He has always been jealous of Storm for having mutant powers that made her a literal goddess in their African village.
* MeaningfulName: Hungan's name is a Haitian term referring to the chief voodoo priest.
* MindControl: He captures Storm's soul into his scepter, giving him the ability to control her body and uses her to attack the X-Men.
* ATwinkleInTheSky: When Spyke manages to free Storm from his control, an enraged Storm hits him with a gust that knocks him into the sky. He is not shown coming down.
* WrongContextMagic: Unlike many characters he doesn't seem to be a mutant at all and uses voodoo magic, which isn't an element common to most ''X-Men'' media.

[[folder:Edward Kelly]]
[[quoteright:330:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kelly_2.png]]
[[caption-width-right:330:''"Mutants have terrorized this world long enough! Someone has got to stop them!"'' ]]
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/DaleWilson [[labelnote:Foreign [=VAs=]]]Creator/TarusukeShingaki (JP)[[/labelnote]]
The second principal of Bayville High. He carried suspicions about the mutant teens which became full-blown prejudice when they were publicly revealed, causing him to make reforms at the high school. Later, he ran for mayor of Bayville competing with the falsely heroic Brotherhood for media attention, a nod to his career as a politician in the comics.
-----
* AdaptationNameChange: In the comics, his first name is Robert, but it's changed to Edward here.
* AssholeVictim: He gets threatened by the Brotherhood into leaving them out of his anti-mutant campaign in "No Good Deed". Considering that he's a bigot who treats mutants like crap (and also encourages others to do so), [[UngratefulBastard even when they save his life]], it's hard to feel any sympathy for him.
* DeanBitterman: He already had some of this on earlier seasons, but by the end if you happened to be a mutant on his campus, he turned it up a notch -- removal of any recognition you may have gotten through "cheating" with your mutant powers (even if said charging is wholly unfounded), treating you as if you had a disability (if not worse), looking the other way on BullyBrutality of mutant students, the works.
* DeathGlare: One of two ways he constantly looks at people, the second one being [[SmugSnake a smug sneer]].
* FantasticRacism: The man doesn't even try to disguise his hatred of mutants when they are publicly revealed, and pretty much looks down his nose at any of them every time he talks, even ones he used to consider ace students (like Jean Grey).
* FourEyesZeroSoul: Definitely if you're a mutant.
* FreudianExcuse: It's heavily implying that Edward Kelly used to be a more open-minded person, but when The Brotherhood attacked the school in the episode Growing Pains and when Professor X erased the memory of every person to school to keep the secrets of mutants, he failed to erase Edward Kelly memory because he blacked out. Professor X even wondered if he successfully erased Edward Kelly's memory. While not outright confirmed, that would explain some of his change in behavior in his first appearance when he makes a speech that every student has unique talents, to being anti-mutant when mutants are revealed to be public to make a speech about people having advantages over others in his last appearance. Seeing the Brotherhood recking havoc, seeing everyone else's memory being erased, and having to keep it a secret would have probably soured his opinions on mutants.
* HateSink: After Duncan, he's the most loathsome character in the show.
* MythologyGag: In one of the final arcs, he made mention of running for Mayor with an anti-mutant campaign focus.
* ProperlyParanoid: His hatred of mutants is universal, but maniacs like Magneto and Apocalypse do make clear there's some reality behind it.
%%* SinisterShades
* SuperRegistrationAct: The Mutant Registration Act, which he wishes to implement if he's elected mayor. [[WhatHappenedToTheMouse The series ends without showing if he's elected, let alone him implementing this]], and it is one of the things Xavier's future vision doesn't show.
* SmugSnake: That sneer he has in his profile picture is pretty much his standard expression, only change he does is moving his head so he'll be looking down his nose (literally) at mutants.
* TyrantTakesTheHelm: Whatever other flaws [[spoiler:Mystique may have had ([[EvilIsPetty because of being]] [[FemmeFatale Mystique]])]], she never (well, blatantly) exploited her rank as principal to make students' lives hell (not even Xavier's).
* UngratefulBastard: He doesn't show any gratitude towards the X-Men for saving him from the Brotherhood, instead talking about how he'll have all mutants thrown out of Bayville.

[[folder:Duncan Matthews]]
[[quoteright:320:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/duncan_matthews.png]]
-->'''Voiced by:''' Vincent Gale [[labelnote:Foreign [=VAs=]]]Bruno Mullenaerts (FR)[[/labelnote]]
A jock who attends Bayville High and is Jean's first boyfriend for the first two seasons, until she breaks up with him at the beginning of the third season. He later starts terrorizing mutants.
----
* TheBully: Picks on numerous characters, especially Toad and Blob.
* CanonForeigner: He's a character original to the show.
* DecompositeCharacter: He is the replacement of Wolverine for being Cyclops's love rival for Jean Grey.
* {{Expy}}: As his relationship with Jean goes awry and his hatred of mutants grow, he starts to resemble a teenage version of Graydon Creed in both appearance and personality, to the point where he leads vicious Anti-Mutant hate crimes much like the Friends of Humanity.
* FantasticRacism: It's one of his defining traits from the third season onwards. He even refers to Jean's powers as a "problem" when trying to reassure her that he's okay with them, which leads to her breaking up with him. He only gets worse in the fourth season, as he leads witch hunts against mutants, even attempting to ''shoot'' a mutant child.
* HateSink: While the first two seasons merely depict Duncan as a bully, by the time season 3 rolls around and the identity of mutants are made public, the show pretty much made '''no''' attempt to redeem Duncan in any way, where he turns into a full-blown {{Jerkass}} who's willing to instigate a fight between the Xavier students who are forbidden from using their powers in public and promote hatred towards mutants, culminating in Duncan obtaining industrial-grade laser weapons in an attempt to hunt and kill mutants who did no wrong against him. Sure enough, ''nobody'' bats an eye towards his ultimate comeuppance [[spoiler: of being arrested and imprisoned for using illegal weapons in public]], and his absence in subsequent episodes will NOT be missed.
* ItsAllAboutMe: When trying to reconcile with Jean, he says that he's willing to overlook her "problem"... as it means that she can help him cheat on his tests.
* JerkJock: Duncan's the star football player at Bayville High and he often bullies those less popular and physically weaker than him.
** He antagonizes Scott whenever he can after the existence of mutants has been revealed to the public. One notable instance occurs after Jean breaks up with him.
** He gets worse by Season 4, as he starts terrorizing other mutant students.
* LaserGuidedKarma: He and his fellow bigots are taken into police custody after attacking mutants in "Uprising".
* NeverMyFault: He blames Scott for Jean breaking up with him, even though it was his insensitive remark about her powers that did it as mentioned under "Fantastic Racism" above. Scott even calls him out on it:
-->Yeah, blame it on me, lunkhead.
* RomanticFalseLead: To Jean. He is an alpha dog jerkass type, who played the BitchInSheepsClothing trope (while he made it clear he was a jerk, he treated Jean ''far'' nicer than he treats anyone else), and when they break up, lets just say he takes his jerkary to a whole new level.
* WouldHurtAChild: In "Uprising", he's about to ''shoot'' Leech, who's just a little boy who happens to be a mutant, forcing Spyke to [[TakingTheBullet take the energy blast]].

[[folder:Legion]]
-->'''Codename:''' Legion
-->'''Real Name:''' David Haller
-->'''Voiced by:''' Kyle Labine [[labelnote:Foreign [=VAs=]]]Nessym Guetat (FR)[[/labelnote]]
The son of Charles Xavier and Gabrielle Haller. He closely resembled his father, Professor X, and had inherited his psionic powers, but here Legion was also able to shapeshift between his various personalities. Originally, Comic!Legion's personalities developed due to mental disorders; in Evolution however they are manifestations of repressed feelings. David Haller, the "true" personality, though disappointed in his father's absence, holds no real hostility, and seems to have no discernible powers. The dominant personality, Lucas, a Scottish punk, demonstrates a hatred of Xavier and believes that he was abandoned in favor of other mutants. He has psychic abilities superior to Jean's (formidable by this point in the series) and even caused Professor X's attempt to suppress him to backfire. Finally, a young, mute boy named Ian possessed pyrokinesis, including the ability to create fire at will. His motivations remain unknown, but it seems he sided with Lucas.
-----
* AdaptationalWimp: This version of David has been reduced from one of the most powerful beings in the universe with thousands of powers and personalities to a very strong mutant with only pyrokinesis, telekinesis, telepathy, limited shapeshifting, and limited alternate-personality manifestation.
* AlternateIdentityAmnesia: As with real-life cases of DID, David has no memory of his alters' actions.
* AntagonisticOffspring: Not so much with David himself, who is only somewhat resentful of never knowing his father. But with Lucas, who wants to use Xavier's mind powers to free himself from the other alternates, and Ian, who supported Lucas in his plans, though likely without knowing his true intentions.
* BlessedWithSuck: Legion sure won the SuperpowerLottery... expect that ''David'', the core personality, can't use the powers that belong to his splinter personalities and seems to have no mutant powers of his own.
* CompositeCharacter: This version of David has several qualities in common with Typhoid Mary, a fellow mutant with multiple personalities and power. Like Mary Walker, David has several radically different primary personalities with access to his different mutant powers being divided among them. David takes the place of "Innocent Mary", the quiet and harmless personality with no access to their powers, Lucas takes the place of both "Typhoid" and "Bloody Mary", both of whom are quite hostile and violent in different ways, and Ian somewhat takes the place of "Walker", a more moderate personality compared to the others. David changing forms with each personality is similar to how each of Mary's personalities are so distinct that Daredevil's super senses register each of them as a different individual. When the other personalities were locked away and Lucas was left in full control, he is similar to Typhoid Mary, a much more stable fusion of Mary's main personalities with access to their collective skills and mutant abilities.
* CreepyChild: Ian.
* DisappearedDad: His father had no knowledge that he had a son with his ex-wife, Gabrielle.
* DoNotCallMePaul: Calling Lucas by his birth name David. Justified, though, as they really are separate personalities inhabiting the same body.
* EnemyWithin: Lucas started as one of the three personalities in the MindHive of David Haller and would both manipulate David himself and take control of their body...
* EnemyWithout: Then Lucas becomes this after having Xavier lock David and Ian's identities away and Lucas becoming the core personality of their body.
%%* FlipPersonality
* {{Humanshifting}}: David's mutation caused his dissociative identity disorder to actually manifest his two, alternate personalities, altering his body in a manner similar to shapeshifting. However, he always retains the same blond hair and blue eyes.
%%* MindOverMatter
* NotQuiteFlight: Lucas' telekinesis enables him to effectively fly.
* PlayingWithFire: Ian displays having pyrokinetic powers.
* PsychicPowers: His mutant powers are {{Telepathy}} and {{Telekinesis}} among other abilities.
%%* SplitPersonalityTakeover: Charles Xavier discovers he has a son in Scotland and goes to meet him, only for two other boys to enter the fray as well. These three boys (David, Ian, and Lucas) are all part of the same being
* SuperpowerLottery: Telepathy, telekinesis, shapeshifting, pyrokinesis...
%%* SuperPoweredEvilSide
* TheVoiceless: Ian is a mute therefore he never speaks.
