* ChildSoldiers: In ''First Class'', Charles wants to avoid turning their young recruits (who are roughly in their mid to late teens) into this, but Erik points out that if they are going to stop Shaw, they need their own army. This comes up again in ''Apocalypse'' -- the roster is made of teenagers (Scott, Kurt, and Jean). Hank and Raven mention that Charles wants to avoid this, but even he admits to Raven in a [[invoked]]DeletedScene that with the world that they live in and how powerful they are (especially in Jeans case), they need to be trained to defend both themselves and others Mutants.

* FantasticRacism: They were the {{Trope Codifier}}s for this in the comics, after all. Most of their non-powered enemies are bigots who want to white them off the face of the Earth just because of being born differently.
* FamilyOfChoice: Due to the above, many of the members actual biological family straight up disown to their mutation. As a result they see each other as family with Charles Xavier Being their incredibly loving a doting ParentalSubstitute even when they are well into adulthood.
* HeroesWithBadPublicity: No matter how many times they save humans from the latest threat (although to be fair those threats are usually other mutants) humans constantly treat them with hate, fear, and disgust. Although by the time of ''Dark Phoenix'' this is finally averted and they are seen as genuine heroes.
* {{Pragmatic Hero}}es: Downplayed and justified. They aren’t as outgoing as the comic book counterparts and usually keep a low profile considering mutants tendency to blamed for anything bad happening surrounding them not matter the circumstances. Thus they only step in when the threat is to be big for conventional human forces to handle (i.e Brotherhood of Mutants, Sentinels, Apocalypse)
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Charles Xavier. Along with being ''the'' BigGood of mutantkind, he provides the team (many of whom are his students) with unconditional love and support, and is a ParentalSubstitute to many, which as a result of many Mutants looking to him for guidance.

[[folder:Erik Lehnsherr / Magneto]]
A Holocaust survivor, he and Xavier were once friends. However, his belief that humans and mutants could never co-exist led to their separation, although he's willing to ally with the X-Men whenever they have [[EnemyMine mutual enemy]] as seen in ''Film/X2XMenUnited''. In ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', he rejoins the X-Men in the BadFuture and co-leads the team along with his old friend Charles.

[[folder:Raven Darkholme / Mystique]]
Abandoned by her parents, Raven Darkholme met a young Charles Xavier when she broke into his family's Westchester mansion to steal food. She took the form of his mother to try and fool the boy, but he saw past the ruse. Thrilled at the fact that he wasn't the only one who was "different" in the world, he offered to let Raven stay and live with him and his family, which she happily accepted.

Years later, Raven followed Charles to England (posing as his sister) and worked as a waitress while he studied genetics at Oxford. She constantly had to hide her true appearance, which began to put a strain on their relationship. This caused her to follow Magneto (who accepted her ''true'' appearance) when Xavier and Magneto parted ways. However, she still regrets abandoning her foster brother.

In the AlternateTimeline, Raven and Charles reconcile, and she becomes his NumberTwo within the X-Men.

->''"[[BadassBoast My boy, I have been fighting for mutant rights since before you had claws.]]"''

A close friend of Charles Xavier and a co-founder of the X-Men. A brilliant scientist, Beast's mutation leads him to be covered in blue fur and have heightened strength and agility. He develops the technology that the team requires to carry out missions.
----
* AcePilot: Is shown to be a very skilled pilot in the First Class trilogy.
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: In the comics, his original (human) form included oversized hands and feet. In ''Film/XMenFirstClass'', while his feet are different than normal, they are still the right size and he has no problem passing for an ordinary human.
* {{Adorkable}}: In ''Film/XMenFirstClass''. Soft spoken, stutters, asks Raven out on the pretext of getting a blood sample and then ''apologizes for being forward''.
* AgeLift: Quite a bit older than Cyclops and Jean, even without getting into ''First Class''. While Beast was the eldest of the first students in the comics, he was only in his 30s in [[ComicBookTime the 1990s]].
* BadassBookworm: And [[http://marvel-movies.wikia.com/wiki/File:X-men-beast-hangs.jpg showing him reading...]]
* BattleButler: He essentially fulfills this role for Charles. In addition to looking after his ex-mentor's needs and maintaining the mansion, [=McCoy=] also serves as Xavier's bodyguard.
* BeastMan: Duh.
* BerserkButton:
** In ''Film/XMenFirstClass'', it's taunting his looks.
** In ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', he flies into a murderous rage after Magneto [[spoiler:attempts to kill Mystique]]. He still harbours feelings for her.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Pressing his BerserkButton might lead to him strangling you. Jekyll and Hyde indeed.
* BirdsOfAFeather: In ''Film/XMenFirstClass'', the bond is especially intense between [[IJustWantToBeNormal himself and Raven]] because they possess visible mutations, but they drift apart after the latter begins to accept her real appearance.
* BlessedWithSuck: This is his attitude towards his physical mutation throughout his youth. He goes through great lengths in order to mask what he perceives to be his body's grotesque deformities.
* BodyHorror: His transformation sequence in ''Film/XMenFirstClass'' depicted the process as rather painful and horrific, bones, muscles and skin shifting and stretching while fur aggressively sprouted along his body.
* BrainyBrunet: He's a doctoral-level scientist who graduated from Havard University at the age of 15.
* TheCameo: His older, Creator/KelseyGrammer form appears [[spoiler:at the end of ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', having his between movies death reversed]].
* TheChampion: He puts his entire life on hold for a decade in order to assist and defend the emotionally dysfunctional Charles. Since [=McCoy=] is no longer Professor X's student, they both should be on equal footing, yet Beast continues to readily defer to Xavier's authority. This steadfast devotion demonstrates that Hank values Charles' well-being and safety above his own.
* CoolOldGuy: Much older than Storm and Jean, but [[BadassGrandpa as destructive as Wolverine]].
* CrazyPrepared: Unlike Charles in ''Film/XMenApocalypse'', Hank doesn't believe that human-mutant relations will always be smooth, and he has spent the past decade building a new model of the Blackbird (and presumably equipment, combat uniforms, etc.) so that the X-Men will be ready should things suddenly go south. As Creator/NicholasHoult [[http://www.joblo.com/movie-news/meet-the-x-men-apocalypse-cast-storm-magneto-cyclops-psylocke-more-943 puts it:]]
-->"Hank, since the last movie, still believes that the world kind of needs the X-Men, and that even though there's peace between humans and mutants at this point, he senses trouble and has kind of been building this jet war plan and kind of preparing for the worst."
* CulturedBadass: Tries to quote Churchill while fighting, and quotes Shakespeare prior to taking off to San Francisco in a deleted scene.
%% * DeadpanSnarker
* DistressedDude: In ''Film/XMenApocalypse'', he is imprisoned by [[spoiler:Stryker]].
* DramaticIrony: His attempt at a cure on himself appears to work and then [[spoiler:fails horribly in ''Film/XMenFirstClass'']]. When he later uses a variation to [[spoiler:rob Erik/Magneto of his powers]] in ''Film/XMenTheLastStand'', it seems to work. [[spoiler:And then, rather subtly, it also fails]].
* DroppedABridgeOnHim: According to the tie-in material for ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', he gets [[spoiler:dragged from his home and murdered by a mob of mutant-hating humans akin to the "Friends of Humanity" from the 90's animated series.]]
** Doubles as a CallBack if you're watch the prequel before watching the main X-Men trilogy.
* EarlyBirdCameo: He appears briefly on TV in the bar in ''Film/X2XMenUnited''.
* ExtremeDoormat: In between 1963 and 1973, he has willingly reduced himself to this so that he can keep a constant eye on the self-destructive Charles. Xavier is the sole person [=McCoy=] has left who fully accepts him for who he is, so Beast does everything he can to ensure that nothing bad happens to his OnlyFriend.
* GeniusBruiser:
** In ''Film/XMenFirstClass'', he goes from being a BadassBookworm at the beginning to being a Genius Bruiser toward the end. [[spoiler:This is because he injected himself with something that utterly transformed his appearance.]]
** By ''Film/XMenTheLastStand'', he's a scientist/diplomat who can kick lots of ass.
* GentleGiant: Huge and animal-like, but on the good guys' side.
* GentlemanAndAScholar: He's very friendly, prefers to avoid conflict, and truly comes out of his shell when in his comfort zones, such as discussing science or assisting with the other students.
* GoodFlawsBadFlaws: As a young man, he gets lack of self-confidence as one of his primary faults. He is one of Xavier's closest friends, so his personality can't be changed too drastically.
* HeterosexualLifePartners:
** ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'': He and Charles are each other's OnlyFriend for a decade, so it's inevitable that they would develop a very close bond. There are moments of non-verbal (and non-telepathic) communication between the two men, like when Xavier gently taps Beast on the chest after he mutters to Logan, "I think I'd like to wake up now." [=McCoy=] immediately understands that the gesture means, "You can calm down now, our visitor is not a threat," and he reverts back to his human form.
** ''Film/XMenApocalypse'': He and Charles retain their close friendship from ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', and it's a lot healthier now because [=McCoy=] is no longer Xavier's enabler, and they've ceased to be co-dependent. They also behave more like peers, as Hank is a teacher, and he has grown out of being needy of his former mentor's approval.
* HideYourOtherness:
** ''Film/XMenFirstClass'': Fearful of humanity's negative reaction to mutants, he firmly lives by this philosophy.
** ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'': He is very uncomfortable with his blue, furry form, and he creates a serum which temporarily suppresses his mutation so that he can appear human.
* HollywoodNerd:
** ''Film/XMenFirstClass'': He is like an introverted version of Charles; all the brilliance, all the attractiveness, but none of the latter's telepathic gift with people.
** ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'': In his human form, he is quite the PrettyBoy after he loses his NerdGlasses near the end of the movie. This is further accentuated in ''The Rogue Cut'' when Raven removes Hank's eyewear in order to see his face more clearly, and she kisses him shortly afterwards.
* HotScientist: Raven initially harbours a crush on her foster brother, but her affections are quickly transferred to Hank, an engineer and biologist.
* HulkingOut: In ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', 70's Beast uses a serum that allows him to maintain a balance between his human and mutant appearances. When he's angry enough, his mutation kicks in, and he returns to human form once he's calmed down.
* IWasQuiteALooker: He used to be {{Adorkable}} before his Beast transformation.
* LivingEmotionalCrutch: In ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', he is this to the emotionally fragile Charles; the latter is so desperate to escape from his mental pain that he would most likely have died from alcohol poisoning if [=McCoy=] wasn't around to supervise him.
* KarmicTransformation: In ''Film/XMenFirstClass'', his transformation into Beast is tragic, but he brought it on himself. He makes it a little more karmic by being insensitive to Raven just before using it. She tells him he's perfect just the way he is and doesn't need the "cure," and he responds with:
-->'''Hank''': It behooves me to tell you that even if we save the world tomorrow, and mutants are accepted into society, my feet and your natural blue form will never be deemed beautiful.
--> ''(Raven shifts back to her human-looking morph.)''
-->'''Hank''': You look beautiful ''now.''
** Bonus points for his mutation being relatively minor, before it becomes much more pronounced after taking the serum.
* NerdGlasses: He wears the horn-rimmed variety in the First Class trilogy, which in his case is a visual cue that he's a geeky academic.
* OldFlame: In ''The Rogue Cut'', he and Mystique ''definitely'' still have feelings for each other despite being separated for over a decade.
* OncePerEpisode: In every movie where he is a prominent character, we see him hanging upside down.
* OnlyFriend: In ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', after Charles isolates himself from the outside world due to his severe depression, Hank becomes his sole companion.
* ParentalSubstitute: In ''Film/XMenApocalypse'', he is a teacher at the school, and he has a [[http://collider.com/x-men-apocalypse-news-things-to-know/ paternal relationship with the younger mutants.]]
* PermaStubble: He has light stubble throughout ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'' which is meant to make him look older than his clean-shaven appearance in ''First Class''.
* PlayingGertrude: Creator/NicholasHoult was 25 years old during ''Film/XMenApocalypse'''s principal photography, but if we assume that his character was around 20 in 1962, then in 1983 Beast is pushing 40.
* PowerPerversionPotential: Raven jokingly insinuates in ''Film/XMenFirstClass'' that Hank's large, ape-like feet might be an indication that he has a [[BiggerIsBetterInBed massive penis]].
* PrettyBoy:
** ''Film/XMenFirstClass'': He is quite similar to Xavier (just younger and a lot more insecure), and while this may be a coincidence, it's nevertheless convenient that he shares some facial features with his mentor, like pale skin, blue eyes and thick reddish lips. The one big physical difference between them is that Hank is a lot taller.
** ''Film/XMenApocalypse'': Repeating a theme from ''First Class'' is him being a mirror image of Charles with a few key differences. [=McCoy=] remains pretty and boyish in a similar way to Xavier, but despite being a decade younger, he is much more cautious and realistic than his ex-mentor, and he makes plans to ensure that the X-Men have everything they need when (and not if) the peace between mutants and humans is shattered.
* ProfessorGuineaPig: In ''First Class'', he is the first test subject for his appearance cure because there is not a big pool of test subjects for this sort of thing.
* TheReliableOne: He assumes responsibility for Charles and the estate after his friend becomes an emotional train wreck in ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast''.
* SatelliteCharacter: Despite receiving a fair amount of screen time in ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', he doesn't undergo any proper character development, as his existence ''completely'' revolves around Charles.
* TheSmartGuy: He's incredibly intelligent and a brilliant scientist who has invented most of the nifty tools and gadgets (X-Jet, Cerebro, etc.) that the X-Men use.
* TimeShiftedActor: An older actor was cast for ''Film/XMenTheLastStand'', and a younger thespian took over the role for the movies which are set in the 20th century.
* TransformationTrinket: He makes a serum that temporarily reverts him from "blue Beast" to "Nicholas Hoult" in ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast''. [[spoiler:It comes to save him as a Sentinel is about to attack, as the serum not only disguises him but cloaks his X-gene as well.]]
* {{Trekkie}}: It's hinted in ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'' that he is a fan of ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'' (an episode is playing on one of his [=TVs=]), which is fitting considering that he's {{Adorkable}} and a HollywoodNerd. He describes Peter's mutation as "fascinating," which is a reference to Spock. Creator/BryanSinger's favourite fandom is ''Franchise/StarTrek'', so it's natural that he would want to bestow that quality on the character (who, coincidentally, can be called Dr. [=McCoy=]). His Trekkie-ness is more obvious in ''The Rogue Cut'' because Beast is enjoying the episode while sipping a beverage.
* UndyingLoyalty: To Charles Xavier. From the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962 to the rise of the Sentinels in the BadFuture, Hank always remains at Xavier's and the X-Men's side. And he won't hesitate to protect him, either.
** In ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', there are plenty of other things that he could do with his time, yet he chooses to take care of Charles during the latter's decade-long HeroicBSOD. Hank may even be a little ''too'' loyal because he serves as an enabler by providing a serum which worsens his friend's already bad case of substance abuse.
* UnstoppableRage: When he fights Magneto in ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', it's decidedly in Beast's favour, to the extent that [[spoiler:Beast almost drowns him. Magneto only barely manages to save himself by using a nearby sculpture to restrain Beast.]]
* WouldHitAGirl: He must defend himself when the homicidal Psylocke fights him in ''Film/XMenApocalypse''.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: The fur that covers his body is blue. Before his KarmicTransformation, however, he was just a (somewhat) ordinary brunet--the color probably came from him using Mystique's DNA.

->'''Played By''': Lucas Till
->'''Film Appearances''': ''Film/XMenFirstClass | Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast | Film/XMenApocalypse''

A mutant who has the ability to absorb energy and discharge it as blasts. He is the much older brother of Scott Summers.
----
* EightiesHair: Has a mullet in 1983.
* AgeLift: Given the decision to make him one of the original students and to avoid ComicBookTime. In the comics, he's Cyclops' '''''younger brother''''', but his movie counterpart is about 20 years older than Scott.
* BigBrotherInstinct: In ''Film/XMenApocalypse'', he brings Scott to Xavier's school in the hope that his former mentor can help his younger brother cope with his potentially dangerous mutant power.
* TheBigGuy: Despite not being the largest or physically strongest, Alex's powers are ''much'' more destructive than the other young mutants and he's far more likely to pick a fight than the more docile Hank.
* ChestBlaster: In ''Film/XMenFirstClass'', his suit is designed to focus his energy and discharge it from a device in his chest. By ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', he no longer needs the suit.
* CoolShades: Sports '80s-style sunglasses in ''Film/XMenApocalypse''.
%% * DeadpanSnarker
* DemotedToExtra: He appears in the beginning of ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'' to be rescued by Mystique and never shows up afterwards. Still, at least he survived, unlike the rest of the ''Film/XMenFirstClass'' cast; everyone who didn't appear in the earlier/canonically later movies were unceremoniously killed off in between films. Of course, he had to survive because in the movie-verse, he's Cyclops' much older brother.
* {{Fanservice}}: In ''Film/XMenFirstClass'', he displays his bare, muscular arms during training, plus a section of his chest is exposed when the energy output device is removed from his combat uniform.
* HellBentForLeather: His black leather jacket in ''Film/XMenFirstClass'' mark him as a bad boy in comparison to the other mutant recruits.
* ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy: When he starts to practice controlling his powers, he first ends up shooting everything EXCEPT his intended target. While he really was trying to aim, he couldn't control the sheer force of his powers yet. After some training, he becomes much better at targeting and controlling his blasts.
* JerkJock: A downplayed example in ''Film/XMenFirstClass'' as he's not as bad as what this trope is normally associated with, but he's verbally abusive towards the geeky Hank, and Alex even fits the blond stereotype.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He bullies Hank and is generally pretty abrasive. Later, he sticks by his friends when Shaw comes, and does grow to like and respect Hank.
* MagicFeather: The chest blaster device helps him control his energy blasts, but eventually it gets damaged. He eventually gains enough control over it to aim his uncontrolled blasts effectively, clipping Angel's wings with them.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: He is fearful of the damage his powers could do if he isn't kept isolated, and so prefers being in solitary confinement while in prison so he is at less risk of hurting someone by accident.
* PlayingGertrude: He is roughly two decades older than his brother Scott, but Lucas Till is just 6 years Tye Sheridan's senior.
* PowerIncontinence: In ''Film/XMenFirstClass'', he can emit powerful energy blasts, but he can't control their direction. This problem is solved by a special harness, which he even refers to as his "energy diaper" in a deleted scene.
* SacrificialLion: [[spoiler:He's only one of five characters to appear in every entry of the First Class trilogy, but because he's the least developed, he's killed off in ''Film/XMenApocalypse''.]]
* SleevesAreForWimps: In ''Film/XMenFirstClass'' during the training scenes, everyone gets matching grey tracksuits. His, inexplicably, doesn't have sleeves.
* StuffedIntoTheFridge: [[spoiler:In a rare male example, he dies in ''Film/XMenApocalypse'' to kick-start his younger brother's Scott CharacterDevelopment.]]
* WouldHitAGirl: Angel Salvadore attacks him and Banshee with her highly acidic spit balls, so once he and his teammate land safely on a beach, Havok unleashes his power and burns her wings.
* UndyingLoyalty: Although he was under Professor X's tutelage for no more than a year when he was a teen, [[note]]it started from the lead-up to the Cuban Missile Crisis and it ended when Alex was drafted for the UsefulNotes/VietnamWar after Xavier's school was open for only one semester[[/note]] he remains grateful for the help that Charles gave to him [[Film/XMenApocalypse two decades later]]. Havok is the first one to run after the Professor and try to rescue him when his ex-mentor is seized by Magneto.
* {{Unishment}}: Given a passing mention in ''Film/XMenFirstClass''. A prison guard where he was staying at the beginning of the film remarks that he's "the only prisoner I've ever seen who actually ''prefers'' solitary." Sure enough, when we first see him, Alex is in solitary. A subversion, since Alex doesn't really ''enjoy'' solitary, he's trying to stay away from people so he doesn't actually hurt them with the energy blasts that are his mutant power, and which he has great difficulty in controlling.

->'''Played By''': Caleb Landry Jones
->'''Film Appearances''': ''Film/XMenFirstClass''

A mutant capable of ultrasonic screaming, used in various ways including as a means of flight and sonar.
----
* AgeLift: Inverted; he's a teenager as opposed to an adult when he joins the proto X-Men. His comics' counterpart was in a romantic relationship with Moira [=MacTaggert=] (and therefore he was close to her in age), but in the movie-verse, he's at least a dozen years her junior.
* AdaptationalNationality: He is American in the movie-verse, but in the comics, he was Irish.
* ChivalrousPervert: Is introduced flirting with a girl, who seems to find him comical more than anything else. He also wolf-whistles at Angel.
* DeadpanSnarker: He does have some nifty lines.
-->'''Raven''': We should come up with secret codenames, we're secret agents now! I'll start, I'm gonna be Mystique.\\
'''Sean''': Damn! I wanted to be called Mystique!
* DroppedABridgeOnHim: He dies in between ''Film/XMenFirstClass'' and ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'' at the hands of Bolivar Trask, who captured him and numerous other mutants to dissect, experiment on, and help develop the Sentinel Program.
* FieryRedhead: His actor even auditioned because it was a rare ginger superhero. Ironically, [[InvertedTrope Sean's one of the least hot-headed and combative of the students]], with those titles going moreso to Alex and Raven.
* GlassShatteringSound: In ''Film/XMenFirstClass''. Charles points out all the science to him.
* MakeMeWannaShout: His mutation involves making very powerful sound waves that can break glass (among other things). They're also very effective at locating things underwater, in similar variant of echolocation. In an unusual variation, this includes [[IBelieveICanFly the power of flight]], by bouncing sound waves off the ground back into a wingsuit.
* NotQuiteFlight: Sean's flight deals with using his supersonic screams to help him glide.
-->'''Charles''': You need the sound waves to be supersonic. Catch them at the right angle and they should carry you.
-->'''Sean''': They ''should'' carry me... that's reassuring.
* PluckyComicRelief: He's the most fun character in ''Film/XMenFirstClass''.
* TookALevelInBadass: His training involves learning how to use his powers in more efficient ways, including flying, disorienting opponents, and locating Shaw's submarine.

->'''Played By''': Edi Gathegi
->'''Film Appearances''': ''Film/XMenFirstClass''

A mutant with the power of "reactive evolution."
----
* AgeLift: He's roughly the same age as Havok in both comics and movie, thus his counterpart in the former is younger than Cyclops, Jean, Iceman, and Angel.
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: In the comics, he had bulging eyes, slits for a nose, and reptilian grey skin. In the movie, he looks like a normal human.
* AdaptiveAbility: His ability involves his body making whatever changes necessary to keep him from dying in whatever environment he's in, such as growing gills while underwater.
* DiedStandingUp: [[spoiler:He stays standing after being killed by Sebastian Shaw]].
* FakeDefector: He does this to Sebastian Shaw's group of evil mutants as a ploy to give his teammate Havok a clear shot at Shaw's group (his own mutant ability will protect him from Havok's attack, and their friend but genuine traitor Angel, who wouldn't be safe otherwise). [[spoiler:It doesn't turn out so good for him when Shaw's group survives unscathed due to Shaw's mutant ability allowing him to absorb Havok's attack.]]
* FeedItABomb: [[spoiler:He gets offed in this way]].
* HeroicSpirit: He stands up to Shaw after seeing him murder an entire building of CIA agents.
* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:He doesn't get to come back in ''Days of Future Past'' like Cyclops and Jean Grey, because ''First Class'' is still canon in the new timeline.]]
* MixedAncestry: Black/Hispanic.
* NiceGuy: Polite, friendly, and when things get rough he can be seen immediately moving to make himself a human shield for the other kids.
* NoBodyLeftBehind: [[spoiler:He is vaporized immediately by the blast he took, and one of his teammates even said, "We can't even bury him."]]

The doctor of the X-Mansion. She has the powers of telekinesis and telepathy like Xavier, although her psychic powers are much less advanced than that of his, as displayed when she is stunned by the usage of Cerebro.
----
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: In the original trilogy, she flirts with the Creator/JamesDean-esque Logan, and in ''Film/XMenApocalypse'', her teenage self falls for Scott, who is a rebel.
* AxCrazy: As the Phoenix in ''Film/XMenTheLastStand''.
* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:In ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', thanks to a CosmicRetcon.]]
* BadassTeacher: And is one of the Xavier Institute's finest instructors.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: By ''Film/XMenTheLastStand'', she becomes a PersonOfMassDestruction.
* BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler:Rescues Charles from Apocalypse's NoHoldsBarredBeatdown and proceeds to unleash Phoenix to completely obliterate the latter.]]
* BlackEyesOfEvil: As the Phoenix in ''Film/XMenTheLastStand''.
* TheCameo: [[spoiler:She greets Logan in the AlternateTimeline of ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast''.]]
* ColorCodedCharacters: While not in her X-Men uniform, she often likes to dress in red clothing.
* CompositeCharacter: After the Beast was removed from the script for ''Film/XMen1'' movie due to budgetary concerns, elements of his character were grafted onto her. Namely, she takes his place as the team's medical and scientific expert, and scenes written for Beast ended up being given to her.
* CrashIntoHello: Meets Scott this way in ''Film/XMenApocalypse''. At that time, however, Scott is wearing a blindfold and doesn't actually see her until later in the day.
* CurbStompBattle: When Phoenix gets unleashed in ''Film/XMenApocalypse''... hurr durr. [[spoiler:Apocalypse, say goodbye to your WorldDomination.]]
* DeathActivatedSuperpower: Once an entire lake falls on her at the end of ''Film/X2XMenUnited'', she gets stronger and more dangerous as shown in ''Film/XMenTheLastStand''.
* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: [[spoiler:She's ultimately the one responsible for defeating Apocalypse, a.k.a., the first and most powerful mutant. When Phoenix gets unleashed, everything becomes CurbStompBattle for her.]]
* DreamingOfThingsToCome: Experiences dreams of Apocalypse destroying the world in ''Film/XMenApocalypse'', which she shares with Charles. [[spoiler:While it almost comes true, the X-Men manages to narrowly defeat him.]]
* DudeMagnet: Scott and Logan are in love with her.
* FaceHeelTurn: As the Phoenix in ''Film/XMenTheLastStand'', she betrays the X-Men by vaporizing [[spoiler:Scott and Xavier]] and joins the Brotherhood.
* FieryRedhead -> EvilRedhead: The former for ''Film/XMen1'', ''Film/X2XMenUnited'', [[spoiler: ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'']] and ''Film/XMenApocalypse''. The latter as the Phoenix in ''Film/XMenTheLastStand''.
* HeroesWantRedheads: Wolverine falls for her.
* HeroicSacrifice:
** She accomplishes this in ''Film/X2XMenUnited'', when the Blackbird is frozen at Alkali Lake with the dam about to burst in mere minutes, she steps off the jet and uses her now heightened telekinesis to break the ice and allow the jet to lift off, at the same time psychically restraining her teammates to keep them from stopping her. [[spoiler:She frees the jet seconds before she is seemingly crushed beneath tons of rushing water.]]
** Having survived this in ''Film/XMenTheLastStand'' but also becoming [[spoiler:the Phoenix]], she twice regains her sanity long enough to beg [[spoiler:Logan/Wolverine to kill her]] so she won't kill anyone else. He finally relents at the movie's climax and [[spoiler:impales her on his claws.]]
* HiddenDepths: Archery is her hobby, and she practices it in ''Film/XMenApocalypse''.
* HospitalHottie: She is a medical doctor who is engaged to Scott Summers, and this doesn't dissuade Logan in the slightest from pursuing her.
* ICannotSelfTerminate: In ''Film/XMenTheLastStand'', she asks Wolverine twice to kill her as she senses [[SuperpoweredEvilSide the Phoenix]] taking over. [[spoiler:The second time, the request is fulfilled]].
* JediMindTrick: Is able to trick the mind of her observes so they can't look at her or anyone she shields.
* KillTheOnesYouLove: [[spoiler:Scott Summers and Professor X in ''Film/XMenTheLastStand''.]]
* MindOverMatter: She has similar rules as Xavier because he's her mentor.
* MsFanservice: In ''Film/TheWolverine'', she's only seen in a low-cut silk nightgown.
* OfficialCouple: With Scott Summers. While not explicitly mentioned in any of the movies, she is described as his fiancée in promotional materials. Doesn't stop Logan from having hots for her.
* OurGhostsAreDifferent: [[spoiler:"Haunts" Logan in ''Film/TheWolverine''.]]
* PersonOfMassDestruction: In ''Film/XMenTheLastStand'', the Phoenix effortlessly vaporizes hundreds of human soldiers and Magneto's mutant followers.
* PowerFloats: She is able to levitate when her Phoenix persona is dominant.
* PowerLimiter: In ''Film/XMenTheLastStand'', not to mention in the [[ComicBook/{{X-Men}} original comics]] it was based on, we learn that Professor Xavier placed a mental block in her as a child, to keep her more extreme powers from manifesting.
* PsychicPowers: Among the X-Men, she is the only other telepath besides Professor X.
* RedHeadedHero: Played straight in the first two X-Men movies, but she defects in ''Film/XMenTheLastStand'' because of her SuperpoweredEvilSide. Goes back to the heroic side in ''Apocalypse''.
* {{Seers}}: Downplayed; she can occasionally foresee a disastrous event, although the details can be vague.
** ''Film/X2XMenUnited'': After being briefly overwhelmed by her telepathy, she tells Scott that "something bad is supposed to happen."
** ''Film/XMenApocalypse'': She experiences a "nightmare" about the end of the world.
* SanitySlippage: Why Xavier had neutered her mental powers to keep the Phoenix hidden. And once she's unleashed...
* SplitPersonalityTakeover: The Phoenix in ''Film/XMenTheLastStand''. Its awakening destroys her sanity, and because it is a PersonOfMassDestruction, well...
** In ''Film/XMenApocalypse'', however, [[spoiler:she is able to awaken the Phoenix without having her mind eroded, likely thanks to embracing it herself (rather than being forced to receive it post-mortem)]].
* StatuesqueStunner: In quite an amusing way, since the comics Jean is a measly 5'6", but Creator/FamkeJanssen is tall enough to surpass James Marsden (leading to [[ScullyBox some on-screen trickery to hide the fact]]). Creator/SophieTurner is 5'9", so this trope is also in play for the adolescent version of the character in ''Film/XMenApocalypse''.
* TeamMom: For X-Men, especially to the students. Best shown in ''Film/X2XMenUnited''.
* {{Telepathy}}: Almost to Xavier's levels.
* TimeShiftedActor: Played by three different actresses depending on the character's age.
* WalkingWasteland: The Phoenix, as shown in ''Film/XMenTheLastStand'', is capable of projecting an aura of psychokinetic energy that literally disintegrates anything and any'''one''' caught in it. This is quite graphically shown during her VillainousBreakdown towards the film's climax, where she starts unconsciously vaporizing dozens of humans and mutants as part of her rampage.
* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: In her manifestation as the Phoenix in ''Film/XMenTheLastStand''. Although it is explained that she was already mentally unstable as a girl and her massive powers had to be reduced for her own good and that of everyone around her by putting mental blocks into her psyche. When these were removed, she started killing people with her mind.[[note]](This is actually closer to the original Phoenix story than the later comic and adaptation stories that portray Jean as having been TouchedByVorlons; see the Comic Books section above.)[[/note]]
* WomanInWhite: Her role in ''Film/TheWolverine''.
* WomanScorned: In ''Film/XMenTheLastStand'', after being rescued by the X-Men, she tries to sex Wolverine up. He refuses. Cue SuperpoweredEvilSide taking over.
* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: In ''Film/XMenTheLastStand''.

The field leader of the X-Men, and a teacher at Xavier's Institute, he shoots uncontrollable beams of concussive force from his eyes and wears a ruby quartz visor to control them.
----
* AdaptationPersonalityChange: In ''Film/XMenApocalypse'', he is a bad boy instead of a "boy scout" (as he calls himself in the [[Film/XMen1 first movie]]). [[http://www.slashfilm.com/x-men-apocalypse-bryan-singer-interview-1/1/ He encourages]] a few of his classmates to skip school, and he steals one of Xavier's fancy cars to drive them to the mall.
* AlliterativeName: '''S'''cott '''S'''ummers.
* BadassBiker: He has a small collection of motorbikes, one of which Wolverine takes during ''Film/XMen1''.
%%* BadassTeacher
* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:In ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', thanks to a CosmicRetcon.]]
* BlessedWithSuck: He must ''always'' cover his eyes with a ruby quartz lens, otherwise he might accidentally kill someone.
* TheCameo:
** ''Film/XMenOriginsWolverine'': As an adolescent, he's of the mutants targeted by Stryker. His power is copied and put into Weapon X. Ironically, it also ends up destroying most of Three Mile Island as well.
** [[spoiler:''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'': He's alive and well in the AlternateTimeline.]]
* CrashIntoHello: Meets Jean this way in ''Film/XMenApocalypse'', but can't actually see her due to wearing a blindfold at that time.
* CoolShades: Justified--he's always wearing them because they keep his particular mutation in check.
* DeadpanSnarker: Frequently, but ''especially'' around Logan, resulting in SnarkToSnarkCombat.
* DemotedToExtra: In ''Film/XMenTheLastStand'', though [[RealLifeWritesThePlot there's a reason]]. This started happening even in [[Film/X2XMenUnited the second film]] where he was captured fairly early on and didn't come back until the end.
* DroppedABridgeOnHim: [[spoiler:Despite acting as the team's field leader and, within the regular comic series, their linchpin since inception, he's quickly killed off-screen within the first 30 minutes of ''Film/XMenTheLastStand'' by his newly resurrected fiancée, Jean Grey. As though that wasn't bad enough, his death barely registers with the rest of the cast later on in the film, with only a brief mention by Professor X who doesn't seem overly perturbed by the loss of his surrogate son]].
** [[spoiler:To some of the general public, his anti-climactic death might not have been that big of an issue as his screen time got shafted in the [[Film/XMen1 previous]] [[Film/X2XMenUnited two]] films in favor of Wolverine, who acted as the series' cinematic alpha hero. However, for fans of the comics, the death was also a slap in the face of sorts since the film's plot was heavily influenced by the comics' extremely well-regarded "Dark Phoenix" storyline that focuses on Jean and Scott. Within the context of ''Film/XMenTheLastStand'', that story became a secondary plot thread, and Wolverine was substituted in as the romantic/heroic lead in light of Scott's less than stellar death]].
* EyeBeams: When his eyes are uncovered, they shoot red beams uncontrollably.
* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: While not actually foolish, he's the rebel of the Summers brothers, while Alex, being older, is the more responsible one.
* HeartbrokenBadass: [[spoiler:In ''Film/XMenTheLastStand'' after Jean's "death".]]
* HellBentForLeather: As an adult, he is frequently seen with a black leather jacket. In ''Film/XMenApocalypse'', his teenage self is dressed in a leather jacket which is mostly artichoke green with some blue on the front.
%% * HotTeacher
* ImprobableAimingSkills: It's amazing how he shoots precisely through such a small visor. Though, given how his power works, it makes sense; all he has to do is look straight at his target and he'll be able to hit them.
* KnightInSourArmor: No matter how much of a boy scout Wolverine thinks he is.
* TheLeader: Of the X-Men in the first three films, though he spends most of the second PutOnABus and [[spoiler:dies early on in the third]]
* ManlyTears: [[spoiler:Visibly weeps when his brother, Alex, is killed in ''Film/XMenApocalypse''.]]
* NeverFoundTheBody: [[spoiler:In ''Film/XMenTheLastStand'', his body is never found after his death.]]
* NiceGuy: Which made his [[TheWoobie Woobie-dom]] in ''The Last Stand'' really pronounced.
* NoBodyLeftBehind: [[spoiler:When Jean kills him in ''Film/XMenTheLastStand, all the X-Men find are his sunglasses.]]
* OfficialCouple: With Jean Grey in ''Film/XMen1''. While not explicitly mentioned in the movie, he is described as her fiancé in promotional materials.
* SuddenSequelDeathSyndrome: [[spoiler:In ''Film/XMenTheLastStand'', he's killed early on by the Phoenix.]]
* SunglassesAtNight: As stated, he has to wear sunglasses everywhere at all times or things tend to get destroyed by his eye beams.
* TimeShiftedActor: One actor has portrayed him during his adult years, but two different thespians have played him as a teen.
* UnluckyEverydude: Beaten down by Lady Deathstrike, and his relationship with Jean ends in the worst way possible.
* WouldHitAGirl:
** ''Film/X2XMenUnited'': After Lady Deathstrike attempts to sedate him, he hits her with an optic blast, but she recovers quickly due to her HealingFactor.
** ''Film/XMenApocalypse'': He tries to target Storm with his EyeBeam, and she barely manages to get out of the way.

[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/wolverine_xmen_films_1766.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:300:''"I'm the best there is at what I do, but what I do best - isn't very nice."'']]
->'''Played By''': Creator/HughJackman & Troye Sivan
->'''Film Appearances''': ''Film/XMen1 | Film/X2XMenUnited | Film/XMenTheLastStand | Film/XMenOriginsWolverine | Film/XMenFirstClass | Film/TheWolverine | Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast | Film/XMenApocalypse''

A tough, rugged, belligerent loner who has lived for fifteen years without memory of who he is, apart from his dog tags marked "Wolverine" and an adamantium-encased skeleton (as well as adamantium claws). He has enhanced, animal-like senses, and the ability to heal rapidly from numerous injuries, including the surgery that bonded the metal to his skeleton.
----
* {{Absurdly Sharp Blade}}s: His claws, which are coated in adamantium. [[spoiler:By the end of ''The Wolverine'', however, the injuries Wolverine sustained in his battle with the Silver Samurai leaves him with his normal bone claws.]]
** Shortly after he receives his adamantium infusion in ''Film/XMenOriginsWolverine'', he slices up several items in a farmhouse bathroom (including a porcelain sink) with his now impossibly sharp claws, despite applying what appears to be no more than the force required to move an unrestrained arm.
* AchillesInHisTent: In ''Film/TheWolverine'', he has quit the X-Men for at least a year, and isolates himself within the Yukon wilderness because he is unable to cope with his guilt for being forced to kill Jean Grey.
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: In the comics, Wolverine is supposed to be extremely stocky, short and [[KavorkaMan not an attractive man]]. Here he's a TallDarkAndHandsome Creator/HughJackman, who is so tall that castmate Creator/JamesMarsden had to [[ScullyBox stand on boxes to not be dwarfed by him]].
* TheAloner: Leaves the X-Men in ''Film/TheWolverine'', as he wants to be by himself. Also showed signs of being one in the previous films.
* AnimalThemedSuperbeing: He embodies the ferocity of the animal he uses for his codename.
* AntiHero: He'll do good things, but clearly doesn't care much about it.
* TheAtoner: In ''Film/TheWolverine'', he goes to Japan to face his guilt for killing Jean Grey and to receive help from an old friend who might have the means to remove his HealingFactor and make him mortal.
* BadassBeard: Grows one by the beginning of ''Film/TheWolverine''.
* BadassBiker: Often drives a motorcycle.
* BadassGrandpa: If you take his age into account.
* BadassTeacher: He sarcastically claims to be an art teacher in ''Film/X2XMenUnited'', and serves as a substitute for Cyclops in ''Film/XMenTheLastStand''. [[spoiler:In the new future created at the end of ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', it's explicitly stated that he's the history teacher.]]
* BashBrothers: In ''Film/XMenOriginsWolverine'', he and Victor Creed do this for the first fifteen minutes of the movie. The opening sequence is a Badass {{Montage}} through UsefulNotes/TheAmericanCivilWar, UsefulNotes/WW1, UsefulNotes/WW2 and UsefulNotes/TheVietnamWar! They also come back together briefly at the end, albeit [[EnemyMine for a mutual gain]].
* BeardOfSorrow: In ''Film/TheWolverine'', Logan starts out with a shaggy one, likely resulting from the events of ''Film/XMenTheLastStand''.
* BeastMan: Though not as exaggerated as Sabretooth.
* BerserkButton: And not a hard one to press, either. Just getting him wound up seems to suffice, although he has some specific triggers:
** Hurting or threatening his friends.
** Threatening a woman.
** Harming defenseless animals and making them suffer.
** Hearing Stryker order for his memory to be wiped ''really'' fucked him off.
* TheBerserker: Often flies into a rage when he's in a fight.
* BladeBelowTheShoulder: His adamantium claws, duh.
* BlessedWithSuck: Let's see...
** His hands hurt every time his claws come out.
** ImmortalityHurts: It sure doesn't look like a pleasant experience to survive a nuclear bomb in ''Film/TheWolverine''.
** WhoWantsToLiveForever: Logan, for what he has experienced, cannot die. Which brings up the unfortunate circumstance of seeing those around him get killed or pass away of old age.
* BreakoutCharacter: Come on, it's Wolverine!
* BroughtDownToBadass:
** In ''Film/TheWolverine'', his HealingFactor is dialed down to near-human levels. While his adamantium skeleton and multiple lifetimes of traumatic injury have rendered him superhumanly strong, tough, and resistant to pain, he's still left considerably weaker since his injuries accumulate rather than healing automatically.
** In the past timeline of ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', which is before his adamantium infusion, he loses the considerable advantage it affords him in exchange for a moderately better HealingFactor, which doesn't really balance it out. He ends up playing a supporting role and badly loses the two real fights he gets into.
* BruiserWithASoftCenter: He's near-invincible in a fight and he can be very ill-mannered in social situations, but deep down, he's actually quite sweet and caring. Those who are lucky enough to see his softer side include Rogue, Jean and Xavier. Although there's a part of Logan which will always be "wild," the Phoenix points out to him that Professor X has succeeded in "taming" him.
* CainAndAbel: With his significantly more unhinged and murderous brother, Victor Creed.
* CartwrightCurse: Silverfox, then Jean. Averted, surprisingly, with Mariko.
* ChickMagnet: Rogue had a crush on him, Jean flirts with him, Mystique attempted to seduce him, Kayla was his girlfriend, plus he had a fling with Mariko and Gwen (the mob boss' daughter).
* CoolOldGuy: While he looks forty, he's over 170 in the original trilogy.
* CoolShades: In 1973, he sports fashionable '70s-style sunglasses.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: His past history of fighting in the American Civil War, World War I, World War II, the Vietnam War, and his past work with Team X.
* DeadpanSnarker: Often makes snide remarks.
* DecoyProtagonist: In ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast''. Although he starts out as the main character, Charles Xavier is the true protagonist of the movie. He's just there only to help motivate Charles to change the future. [[spoiler:And when the final battle begins, Magneto simply impales him with rebar and throws him into a nearby river, quickly ending his importance in the film.]]
* DefrostingIceKing: He is the recipient of this in ''Film/XMenTheLastStand''. It's alluded to when the Phoenix (who is presumably using her telepathy) says to Wolverine, "What, you think [the Professor's] not in your head, too? Look at you, Logan. He's ''tamed'' you." Unbeknownst to both Wolverine and the audience, he has grown to love Xavier as a friend, and this finally comes to light after [[spoiler:Logan crumbles emotionally after Charles is murdered]]. This is the first time in the original trilogy where Wolverine had displayed this much vulnerability towards a male character.
* DeliberateInjuryGambit: Due to his HealingFactor, he does this on occasion. In the [[Film/XMen1 first movie]], he has to pierce his claws through his body to cut the restraints Magneto has him in.
* {{Determinator}}: To put it simply, unless you are Magneto or 1973-era Beast, you won't stop him.
* DrinkOrder: His strong preference for beer stems from his [[CanadaEh Canadian]] background, and it's also an indicator that he has lived for many years as a vagabond.
* EarnYourHappyEnding: [[spoiler:In the finale of ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', he wakes up in the Sentinel-averted future to find all the X-Men and children at Xavier's school. Since he's the history teacher, he's settled and content.]]
* {{Foil}}: To the younger Magneto in ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast''. Both are violent individuals who love Xavier, but whereas JerkWithAHeartOfGold Logan possesses UndyingLoyalty towards Charles, JerkWithAHeartOfJerk Erik is quick to [[spoiler:[[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder betray]] him]].
* FriendToAllChildren: At Xavier's school.
* GoodFlawsBadFlaws: His fondness for cigars is part of his macho image.
* GoodIsNotNice: The quote underneath his picture says it all.
* GoodThingYouCanHeal: He gets thrashed the most in all the films. Anyone else would die from the injuries he experiences.
* HairTriggerTemper: Downplayed, but still present.
* HealingFactor: By the climax of ''Film/XMenTheLastStand'', his flesh is being torn from his body at an alarming rate only to regenerate just as quickly. (This was explained in the novelization as being accelerated and enhanced even further than normal by the energy Jean was putting out.) He also survives a ''nuclear bomb'' in the opening of ''Film/TheWolverine'' and his body is left a charred and scalded mess from the affair. However, it seems like the film Wolverine's healing factor is not as absurd as the comic book Wolverine's healing factor, considering that decapitation is treated as a viable option in his solo films. [[spoiler:''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'' also presents drowning as an effective method, though he was fished out before it could take.]]
* TheHeart: In ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast''. Ironically, it's his major role in the film, with very few fight scenes. He's more there to galvanize the young Professor into action.
* HellBentForLeather: He is the best example as besides the X-Men body suit, he often wears a leather jacket.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: With his half-brother Victor Creed for his childhood and most of his adult life, up until he left Team X.
* HotBloodedSideburns: Has some rather prominent muttonchops to go along with his rash personality. The PermaStubble brings it even further.
* HotTeacher: The ultimate ChickMagnet in the franchise joins the academy's staff in ''Film/XMenTheLastStand''. [[spoiler:Revealed to be a history teacher in the new timeline created in ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'']].
* HowDoIShotWeb: Even he isn't immune, spending the first few hours after he got his adamantium claws in ''Film/XMenOriginsWolverine'' accidentally cutting things up.
* IDidWhatIHadToDo: In ''Film/TheWolverine'', [[spoiler:during a dream sequence, Wolverine tells Jean Grey that he had no choice but to kill her because of all the death and destruction she was causing.]]
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He can be rather rude, and he often makes snide remarks, but behind it all, he means well.
* TheLancer: A surly, cynical foil to Cyclops in the first two movies, and Storm in the third.
* MayflyDecemberRomance: Due to the longevity his powers provide him, Wolverine faces this conundrum. [[spoiler:Well, he would, if his love interests would live long enough to see old age. The only one who survives parts with him on amicable terms.]]
* MeaningfulName: He was born as James ''Howl''ett; his surname is a nod to his animalistic nature.
* MrFanservice: He's the most objectified male character in the franchise; he's briefly naked in a few movies and has numerous {{Shirtless Scene}}s.
** ''Film/TheWolverine'': He reluctantly takes a bath as he's vigorously scrubbed by two female attendants, so much of his skin is on display.
*** Creator/HughJackman is the only reason Tao Okamoto initially agreed to play Mariko in ''Film/TheWolverine'', and Fan Bingbing can't stop gushing about him.
** ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'': He appears entirely naked when first waking up in the past.
* MyMasterRightOrWrong: There are shades of this in ''Film/XMenTheLastStand''. He becomes angry at Xavier after learning about the psychic blocks in Jean's mind, yet despite his disgust, he still reassures her that the Professor can help and fix her mental instability. Instead of going on his own, Logan accompanies Charles to Jean's childhood home, and he's devastated when [[spoiler:Xavier is murdered]]. It's on a subconscious level, but Wolverine was beginning to develop UndyingLoyalty towards Professor X.
* MysteriousPast: Even to him.
* NakedOnArrival: In ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', he wakes up in the past naked... because his past self just spent the night in bed with the woman he's supposed to be guarding.
* NatureHero: The AntiHero kind in ''Film/TheWolverine''. Specifically, he beat the shit out of the hunter who killed his bear friend/companion.
%%* NighInvulnerability
* OlderThanTheyLook: All because of his Super Healing Factor. He was born in 1832, but as of ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', he still physically appears to be a buff as hell late thirties/early forties. His powers constantly rejuvenate his cellular integrity rendering him seemingly ageless. He's not entirely immortal however; it's believed that he can age, just at an incredibly slow rate.
* OldMoney: Judging by the refined manners of John Howlett and the grandeur of the mansion in ''Film/XMenOriginsWolverine'', James Howlett was born into wealth. However, he learns when he was around 13 years old that his mother Elizabeth had an affair with Thomas Logan, his family's groundskeeper, and is their illegitimate child. After the death of both his stepfather and biological father, James runs away from home, and he has been scratching a living ever since.
* OneManArmy: He'll take down as many people as possible.
* PapaWolf: Towards Rogue and the children at the school.
* ParentalSubstitute: To Rogue.
* TheProtagonist: Of the film series overall, getting the most screen time, character development, and usually being the one to save the day. He even gets 3 dedicated spin-off films.
* RatedMForManly: Cigar-chomping bearded badass whom the chicks love. Pure macho!
* RunningGag:
** Thanks to his recurring nightmares of his DarkAndTroubledPast, it's a bad idea to share a bed with him or to be near him when he's unconscious. [[Film/XMen1 Rogue]], [[Film/XMenOriginsWolverine Silverfox]], [[Film/TheWolverine a veterinarian (student), and, very nearly, Mariko,]] learn this lesson the hard way. Surprisingly enough Mariko seems completely unperturbed by almost being impaled and CONTINUES SLEEPING WITH HIM!
*** [[Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast Later]], [[spoiler:Shadowcat]] learns it the hard way. Not for sleeping with him, just for being too close during one of his episodes.
** His discomfort when it comes to flying plays out across the various films.
** Likely unintentional, but whenever he tries to confront Magneto, he ends up being thrown through the air.
* ScreamingWarrior: Usually lets out a battle cry when taking down foes.
* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: In ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', he's the Manly Man with 1973 Charles in the Overly Sensitive Guy role. Logan has to act as the "glue" which barely holds the emotionally fragile Xavier together in order to complete their mission. Their opposite natures are most directly contrasted in the Pentagon kitchen scene, where Charles attempts to persuade the guards that he and his partner have a valid reason to be there, while Wolverine just knocks them out with a frying pan.
* ShellShockedVeteran: It's demonstrated in ''Film/XMen1''. Surprising a sleeping PTSD vet is a bad idea, especially when he's got adamantium-coated bone claws.
* SleevesAreForWimps: Is often seen wearing a tank top.
* SpotlightStealingSquad: By far the most prominent character in the franchise, being the main character in almost every film and having 3 solo films dedicated to himself.
* TranquilFury: His anger at the hunters who shot a bear with a poisoned arrow is [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness surprisingly]] colder than his usual fits of temper.
* TallDarkAndSnarky: At 6'2", his snarkiness is as tall, if not taller, than his height.
* ThatManIsDead: In ''Film/TheWolverine'', when Yukio tells him it's an honour to meet the Wolverine, he mutters, "That's not who I am anymore."
* TimeShiftedActor: A different actor plays James Howlett as a kid in ''Film/XMenOriginsWolverine''.
* TraumaticSuperpowerAwakening: His mutant power first manifests itself in ''Film/XMenOriginsWolverine'' when he stabs his father's killer to death.
* UnstoppableRage: He's pretty angry when he fights, but he ''really'' goes into one of these as he's [[spoiler:escaping the Weapon X Facility.]]
* UndyingLoyalty: He has developed this for Xavier during the TimeSkip after the post-credits scene of ''Film/TheWolverine''. Although both Magneto and Professor X are co-leaders of the remaining X-Men in 2023, Logan only defers to Charles' authority. When Erik tells him that, "You'll need me as well [in the past]," Wolverine is wholly against the idea, but he reluctantly agrees after Xavier nods in approval.
* WolverineClaws: [[TropeNamer Obviously]]. Both bone and adamantium versions.
* WouldHitAGirl:
** ''Film/XMen1'': Considering that Mystique is trying to kill him, he fights her as viciously as he would any man.
** ''Film/X2XMenUnited'': The brutal confrontation between himself and Lady Deathstrike is one of the most violent duels in the franchise. To be fair, she was faster and got more hits in.
** ''Film/XMenTheLastStand'': He has no choice but to slay the Phoenix in order to end her catastrophic rampage.

!!!Peter Maximoff / ComicBook/{{Quicksilver}}
[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/quicksilver_xmen_film_5126.png]]
[[caption-width-right:300:''"Prison break?[[SarcasmMode ...that's illegal y'know]]"'']]
->'''Played by:''' Creator/EvanPeters
->'''Film Appearances''': ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast | Film/XMenApocalypse''

A mischievous speedster who is a member of the X-Men in the AlternateTimeline. He is the son of Magneto.
----
* SeventiesHair: In ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', his glam mop upset many fans in promotional materials, but it fits in with the era perfectly. Note the length and the silver sideburns.
* EightiesHair: He rocks a mullet in ''Film/XMenApocalypse''.
* AdaptationNameChange: His real name is changed from "Pietro Maximoff" to the more Americanized "Peter Maximoff." Presumably, this is due to the fact that the film version of Quicksilver was raised in the U.S., while his comic counterpart grew up in Eastern Europe. A supplementary website, 25 Moments, still refers to him as Pietro and so does the Italian dub.
** There's also the fact that Quicksilver appears in ''Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron''--that one uses the name Pietro.
* AdaptationalNationality: The Eastern European Pietro Maximoff has been Americanized into Peter Maximoff.
* AdaptationalHeroism:
** ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'': In the comics, he is often an outright ''jerk'' (often intentionally), but in this film, he's more of a merry mischief-maker. He can easily flee on his own once the breakout goes bust, but instead, he goes out of his way to save Logan, Charles and Erik, even though he had already freed the latter from prison by technicality. Quicksilver is also clearly not impressed (if amused) by the idea that he helped free the person suspected of killing JFK once he finds out, [[spoiler:and is shown to be stunned and horrified by Magneto's "demonstration" in the climax]].
** ''Film/XMenApocalypse'': Comic book Quicksilver was never a member of the X-Men, but his movie counterpart is. He also [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14JojQfFg5E expresses his veneration]] for Mystique's courage in defeating Magneto--his own father--and preventing the latter from assassinating President Nixon.[[note]]This confirms Peter's ReactionShot in ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'' where he was astonished--in a bad way--by Magneto's actions in Washington D.C.[[/note]]
* AdaptationalVillainy: In the comics, he may be a world-class asshole and suffer from HeelFaceRevolvingDoor, but he is well-meaning at the core and can be counted on to do the right thing. In ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', he's just a bored teenager with a kleptomaniac streak who doesn't really care about being a productive member of society and who has to have the breakout sold to him as an opportunity to raise hell, as it's clear that he probably wouldn't have done it of his own volition otherwise.
* AgeLift: Is closer in age to Cyclops and Jean in the comics, but he's a decade older than them in the movie-verse.
* AllergicToRoutine: Because he experiences time much more slowly than everyone else, he gets bored very easily, so he treats life like it's one big game. He gets his thrills by stealing whatever catches his fancy, and Xavier observes that Peter is a kleptomaniac.
* AscendedExtra: He has a larger role in ''Film/XMenApocalypse''.
* BasementDweller: He is around 27 years old in 1983, and he still lives in the basement of his mother's house.
* BeneathTheMask: His jovial facade hides some deep-seated daddy issues regarding his estranged father, Magneto.
-->'''Quicksilver''': He left my mom before I was born. I met him ten years back, but I didn't know it was him. By the time I figured it out, it was too late. Then I saw him on TV again, and I came to the house looking for him, but by the time I got there... ''(sighs)'' Late again. You know, for a guy who moves as fast as me, I always seem to be too late.
* BigBrotherInstinct: Is seen playing with his little sister. He's even willing to sit down and watch television with her, which is heartwarming considering how hyperactive the guy is.
* BulletTime: He sees the world in slow motion when he runs.
* CharacterDevelopment: In ''Days of Future Past'' he's a petty thief who only goes along to rescue Magneto for the thrill of breaking into the Pentagon. By the time of ''X-men Apocalypse'' he's matured greatly and [[spoiler: singlehandedly saves everyone in the mansion when it explodes [[ComesGreatResponsibility because he can.]]]]
* TheCharmer: While it's not strictly part of canon, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFMyEOuTfxY this commercial]] depicts Quicksilver as a romantic suitor when he tries to woo a young woman with his [[PowerPerversionPotential super-speed]]. Since this ad was approved by the ''Film/XMenApocalypse'' producers, we can infer that it's part of his personality to court a lady with roses and candlelight.
* ChivalrousPervert: He blows a couple of kisses at Moira and holds her in a traditional dance pose before rescuing her from an explosion. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFMyEOuTfxY In this commercial,]] Quicksilver ''sniffs the hair'' of the girl he's (very much) interested in, and he performs elaborate gestures just so that she can better enjoy the romantic movie she's watching.
* CivvieSpandex: He does not wear a costume in ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', but instead has a "cool jacket" and a pair of goggles.
* CompositeCharacter: He looks and acts like his comic-counterpart's nephew, [[YoungAvengers Speed]], and even wears a similar pair of goggles.
* CoolShades: [[http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140523085102/marveldatabase/images/5/52/Peter_Maximoff_%28Earth-10005%29.jpg Yup]]. Used to overcome anything that can impair his sight while in super speed.
* DarkestHour: You know things are bad when the StoryBreakerPower-laden Quicksilver gets ''immobilized''. [[spoiler:Which Apocalypse does, by the way, at least until the others distract him long enough for Beast to free him.]]
* DeadpanSnarker: Every line out of his mouth is a wisecrack.
* {{Delinquents}}: As a teen, he was a juvenile delinquent whose favourite hobby was [[FiveFingerDiscount shoplifting]].
* DeusExitMachina: In ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', [[spoiler:he EASILY takes out the guards in Magneto's prison, and is faster than anybody, even two powerful mutants--and one with enhanced senses--can react. Combining him with Xavier in locating either Trask or Mystique would've wrapped the plot up in far shorter time and at least half the damage. So naturally, he's out of the story once the break-out scene is over, save for a cameo near the end. {{Justified}} in that he only worked with the mutants because of the opportunity to pull off the heist of a lifetime (and Charles probably didn't want to drag more young people into this war after what happened to his students).]]
* DisappearedDad: He tells Mystique in ''Film/XMenApocalypse'' that Magneto left his mother before he was born, and Ms. Maximoff remains bitter at Erik for how he had treated her.
* DistressedDude: In ''Film/XMenApocalypse'', [[spoiler:Stryker]] captures him, Raven, Hank, and Moira [[spoiler:so he could question about the disturbances caused by Apocalypse. They get freed by Scott, Jean, and Kurt.]]
* DressingAsTheEnemy: He dons the uniform (which conveniently fits him perfectly) of a Pentagon guard that he has BoundAndGagged so that he can reach Magneto's prison cell.
* FlashStep: A natural application of his mutant ability is to cross a room in a heartbeat.
* {{Foil}}: To Professor X in ''Film/XMenApocalypse''. They are light-hearted, [[TheCharmer charismatic]] {{Pretty Boy}}s and {{Chivalrous Pervert}}s, and they even share an attraction towards Moira.[[note]]It's downplayed in Quicksilver's case, but he is flirty with her just before he saves her from an explosion at Xavier's school.[[/note]] They have both undergone a ManChild phase and have parental issues--Peter grew up [[DisappearedDad fatherless]], and Charles had experienced [[ParentalNeglect emotional neglect]] from his mother. Maximoff and Xavier are Erik's biological son and brother figure, respectively, yet ironically, Quicksilver is more comfortable staying with the Professor (who will become his mentor and ParentalSubstitute) than revealing to Lehnsherr that they're related. Xavier also shows an almost fatherly concern for Peter's safety during the battle against Apocalypse because Charles anxiously utters the young mutant's name when he's able to sense through his telepathy that Maximoff [[spoiler:has been seriously injured]].
* ForgotAboutHisPowers: Averted. During the fight [[spoiler:against Apocalypse]], he does ''not'' forget the fact that he's unstoppable while in BulletTime, and uses it accordingly. [[spoiler:He just doesn't think of the possibility that Apocalypse might try to thrust his feet to the ground ([[{{Foreshadowing}} like he does to Erik's Polish co-workers previously]]).]]
* GadgeteerGenius: He mods a {{VideoGame/Pong}} arcade cabinet to run significantly faster than normal.
* GeneHunting: He seeks out his father Magneto in ''Film/XMenApocalypse'', [[spoiler:but Peter chooses not to disclose to Erik that they're related]].
* GenkiGuy: Because of his accelerated perception of time, Quicksilver seems to get bored easily. Xavier calls him a pain in the ass because he refuses to stay still, running circles around his guests and generally amusing himself at their expense.
* HellBentForLeather:
** ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'': He's fond of his silver leather jacket.
** ''Film/XMenApocalypse'': He sports shiny black leather pants and has a grey leather jacket.
* ImpossibleThief: His super speed allows him to pull off impossible thefts.
* ItAmusedMe: He helps the team in ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'' just because he'll get to break into the most secure prison on Earth.
* KleptomaniacHero: He frequently shoplifts behind his mother's back along with a lot of other hijinks, such as breaking into the Pentagon to spring Erik.
* LightningBruiser: So fast that time effectively stands still for him when he's moving, and hits with the kind of force that you'd expect from something moving at those high speeds.
* LukeYouAreMyFather: His entire motivation in ''Film/XMenApocalypse'' is to meet Magneto and tell him that he's his father. [[spoiler:After seeing that Magneto is still grieving for his family, he decides to postpone TheReveal for a while.]]
* ManChild: At the age of 27, he still isn't an independent adult in ''Film/XMenApocalypse'' because he continues to reside in his mother's basement, although his living space is a lot less cluttered than it was in ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', which implies that his kleptomania has toned down in the past decade. He cracks a joke about his mother wanting him to get out of the house, and Peter [[https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x49dygo acknowledges]] his BasementDweller status on the X-Jet.
* MotorMouth: Talks almost as fast as he... does everything else. And good luck shutting him up.
* MundaneUtility: He uses his super speed to play ping pong with himself.
* MysticalWhiteHair: The super-fast mutant has ''silver'' hair.
* PluckyComicRelief: He is a source of comedy in ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'' and ''Film/XMenApocalypse''.
* PrettyBoy:
** ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'': He's baby-faced with reddish lips and cute in an impish way. It's a visual cue to the audience that he's an immature prankster who doesn't take life seriously.
** ''Film/XMenApocalypse'': He's affirmed to be Magneto's son, so Peter's softer features juxtapose his father's VillainousCheekbones. Quicksilver fights for the heroic team, and Magneto sides with the BigBad. Maximoff's puckish looks also mark him as a ManChild and a BasementDweller.
* RefugeInAudacity: Blatantly uses his super speed when he first meets Beast, Wolverine, and Professor X because he knows no one would believe what they said about him. It's implied this is how he gets away with everything he does.
* RequiredSecondaryPowers:
** He has no problems moving at super-speeds himself (in fact, he's most comfortable that way as everything around him moves too slowly). However, when he runs Magneto past a hallway full of guards during their escape from the Pentagon, he specifically supports Erik's head and neck to protect him from whiplash during the sudden acceleration. After they reach their destination, Erik is visibly nauseous.
** He can also hit people harder with much less force; he barely touches the guards in SuperSpeed, and that causes blows hard enough to render them unconscious.
* StickyFingers: His basement is full of stolen goods such as several [=TVs=], a Pong arcade machine and an entire shelf of junk food. His mother, upon opening the door, assumes Wolverine and co. are cops and simply offers to cut a check for whatever he stole.
* StoryBreakerPower:
** ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'': He gets PutOnABus after the Pentagon raid because, as that raid shows, he is ''downright unstoppable''. While moving at SuperSpeed, simply tapping a person is the practical equivalent of getting hit by a heavyweight boxer, and he can take out an entire room of armed guards so quickly that their bullets weren't even able to reach the people they had shot at when he started.
** ''Film/XMenApocalypse'': He wastes no time in using this story-breaker of a power again [[spoiler:against Apocalypse himself. Since Apocalypse is [[OnlyTheAuthorCanSaveThemNow Apocalypse]], though, it doesn't go really well.]]
* SweetTooth: He is seen eating an orange Popsicle and there are boxes of snack cakes that he stole. During the Pentagon raid, he takes a moment to taste a sauce that was flung airborne by Magneto.
* SuperSpeed: His superpower.
** ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'': He has one scene where he does a TimeStop while Jim Croce's "Time in a Bottle" plays.
** ''Film/XMenApocalypse'': He does it again, and this time it's taken UpToEleven. [[spoiler:He saves ''all'' of Xavier's students, plus a goldfish and a bulldog, from the explosion that destroys the school. It all happens in ''nanoseconds''.]] He's just ''this'' fast.
%% * TricksterArchetype
* VanityIsFeminine: He checks his hair and teeth in the mirror of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFMyEOuTfxY this commercial,]] and he's a ManChild in ''Film/XMenApocalypse''.
* WhiteHairBlackHeart: Downplayed; while he is fond of breaking the law, he's not a jerk like in the comics.
* WithGreatPowerComesGreatPerks: He uses his super-speed for shits, giggles, and petty larceny.

[[folder:Marie D'Ancanto / Rogue]]
!!!Marie D'Ancanto / Rogue
[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rogue_xmen_films_2552.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:300:''"The first boy I ever kissed ended up in a coma for three weeks. I can still feel him inside my head."'']]
->'''Played By''': Creator/AnnaPaquin
->'''Film Appearances''': ''Film/XMen1 | Film/X2XMenUnited | Film/XMenTheLastStand | [[spoiler:Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast]]''

A mutant who can absorb any person's memories and abilities by touching them. As she cannot control this absorbing ability, Rogue can easily kill anyone, and thus is unable to be physically close to people.
----
* AdaptationalHeroism: Unlike the Rogue of the comics and most other adaptions, she ends up at Xavier's school from the very beginning and is never a former member of the Brotherhood. She never has to undergo a HeelFaceTurn, retroactively or otherwise, because here she was a Face to begin with.
* TheArtifact: There was really no point in keeping her around after the [[Film/XMen1 first movie]] (when Magneto needed her to power his machine). The only useful thing she did after that was stop Pyro's rampage and drive the X-Jet to get the members back--nearly crashing the thing, but that's a detail.
* BadPowersGoodPeople: As she doesn't have her comic book counterpart's HeelFaceTurn backstory, the filmmakers turned her into a sweet girl who sucks the life force (and mutant powers) out of anyone she touches.
* BlessedWithSuck: Her superpower doesn't allow her to touch the ones she loves.
* BroughtDownToNormal: In ''Film/XMenTheLastStand'', [[spoiler:she willingly takes the cure for mutants, although the film's final scene where Magneto slowly regains his power proves that the cure is not permanent]].
** There is an alternate scene where [[spoiler:Rogue doesn't take the serum]].
* CantHaveSexEver: Or even kiss someone ever. It tends to be hazardous to their health.
** In ''Film/X2XMenUnited'', multiple characters point out the inherent problems faced by Iceman and Rogue.
* CompositeCharacter: In regards to the animated series, Movie!Rogue is a mix of Rogue and Jubilee.
* DamselInDistress: In ''Film/XMen1'', she was [[spoiler:kidnapped by Magneto for his machine]].
* DemotedToExtra:
** She had fairly large parts in [[Film/XMen1 the first]] and [[Film/X2XMenUnited second movies]], but her storyline in ''Film/XMenTheLastStand'' remotes to her being jealous of Bobby and Kitty and [[spoiler:taking an apparent cure]]. Part of it was also because Creator/HalleBerry didn't like Storm's comparatively smaller role and demanded a larger part. But objectively speaking they both were shafted.
** In ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', she only appears in a non-speaking cameo and doesn't even get a close-up. This is because all her other scenes were cut out and then restored on ''The Rogue Cut''.
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: Everyone calls her Rogue. Marie is only used twice in the entire franchise.
* FirstGrayHair: In ''Film/XMen1'' she gets her Skunk Stripe not from age, but [[LockedIntoStrangeness as a result of being used to power Magneto's machine]]. She is asked whether she's considered dyeing it, but replies that she actually thinks it looks kind of cool, and wears it like a battle scar.
* IJustWantToBeNormal: This is why in ''Film/XMenTheLastStand'', [[spoiler:she decides to take the cure; however, one alternate ending shows her not taking it, and holding hands with Bobby wearing gloves]].
* InformedAbility: ''Film/XMen1'' talks about, but never shows the mental aspect of her power where she picks up memories and personality fragments from a person she touches in addition to the person's strength/ability. In a scene near the end, Jean says she picked up some of Logan's personality traits, but they're gone by the next scene. In the later films, she seems to gain some measure of control over her powers, which might explain why she doesn't fear losing her mind anymore.
* LockedIntoStrangeness: She gets her white streak because of Magneto's attempted power-transfer toward the end of [[Film/XMen1 the first film]].
* OfficialCouple: With Bobby Drake are in ''Film/X2XMenUnited''. They are in the early stages of a romantic relationship, and their challenge is dealing with her mutant ability, as she can kill someone with a prolonged touch.
* PowerParasite: Her power involves sapping life energy and powers from those she comes into contact with. [[BlessedWithSuck Whether she wants to or not.]]
* PragmaticAdaptation: Rogue is unable to fly, has no fighting/combat abilities, and does not have super strength or invulnerability. This is because, unlike in the comic books, she has none of the abilities that she aquired from Ms. Marvel (Carol Danvers).
** That's because they [[ScrewedByTheLawyers don't have the rights]] to use ComicBook/MsMarvel.
* TheRunaway: In ''Film/XMen1'', she runs away from home after her power manifests itself while kissing her boyfriend, causing him to have a seizure and fall into a coma for three weeks.
* SkunkStripe: In ''Film/XMen1'', she acquires her signature white hair streak after her near-death experience in Magneto's apparatus. She decides it looks good enough to keep.
* VampiricDraining: Through touch.

->'''Played By''': Shawn Ashmore
->'''Film Appearances''': ''Film/XMen1 | Film/X2XMenUnited | Film/XMenTheLastStand | Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast''

A student at Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters who takes a liking to Rogue. He can change temperatures to subzero degrees and use the moisture in the air to create ice.
----
* AdaptationalHeroism: The movie version is much sweeter and more mature than his comic book counterpart's JerkWithAHeartOfGold[=/=]ManChild persona.
* AgeLift: Inverted; he's the same age as Rogue, whereas his comic counterpart is closer in age to Cyclops and Jean.
* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:He is alive and well in the AlternateTimeline of ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast''.]]
* BadassBeard: He sports one in ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast''. Shawn Ashmore has said in interviews that it signifies his character's maturity.
* ChickMagnet: Rogue and Kitty have fallen for him.
* ChivalrousPervert: He adores Rogue in ''Film/X2XMenUnited'', and although he's supposed to be looking the other way, he can't resist taking a peek at her while she's changing into his mother's old clothes.
* DieOrFly: His mutation turning him into AnIcePerson in ''Film/XMenTheLastStand''.
* TheHeart
* AnIcePerson: Uses his mutant ability to create ice.
* ImMelting: By [[spoiler:''three'' Sentinels in the climax of ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast''.]]
* ImNotDoingThatAgain: He says this in ''Film/XMenTheLastStand'' after being phased though the ground and back out again.
* LiterallyShatteredLives: By a [[spoiler:Sentinel during the first battle of ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast''. Two {{Cosmic Retcon}}s later, he's back alive.]]
* MundaneUtility: In ''Film/X2XMenUnited'', when Logan wants a cold drink, he gives a Dr. Pepper to Bobby, who uses his powers to chill it.
* NiceGuy: He is one of the nicest mutants.
* OfficialCouple: He and Rogue are this in ''Film/X2XMenUnited''. They are in the early stages of a romantic relationship, and their challenge is dealing with her mutant ability, as she can kill someone with a prolonged touch. In ''The Rogue Cut'' of ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', he is Kitty's boyfriend, [[spoiler:but when an AlternateTimeline is created, he continues his original relationship with Rogue]].
* OnlySaneMan: He is down-to-earth and seems to have a good head on his shoulders.
* PrettyBoy: His dainty facial features quickly communicate to the audience that he's a good-hearted person. This is especially true in the first movie, where he was only a minor character, but viewers were able to tell right away that "the cute guy" is sincere when trying to befriend Rogue. Moroever, being forced to abandon his family in the second film is more painful when his expression is very much like a puppy dog who has just been kicked.
* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: In ''Film/X2XMenUnited'', the rule-abiding, NiceGuy Iceman juxtaposes the rebellious, {{Jerkass}} Pyro. At the museum's food court, John is being rude to a young man who asks to borrow his lighter, and Bobby tells his friend to knock it off, plainly disapproving of John's annoying behaviour. When the police order the mutants to get on the ground, Drake immediately obeys, but Allerdyce attacks the officers with giant fire balls.
* SiblingRivalry: Implied, since his brother Ronnie calls the cops claiming that Iceman and the others are holding his family hostage soon after finding out he is a mutant.
* TookALevelInBadass: ''Film/X2XMenUnited'' and ''Film/XMenTheLastStand'' have him upgrading from student to X-Men. In the climatic battle of ''The Last Stand'', he finally goes into his full ice form. By the time of ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', he has taken several more levels, including the debut of the iconic ice slide from the comics.
* WellDoneSonGuy: As his visit to his parents shows.
* WeUsedToBeFriends: He and Pyro were friends in ''Film/X2XMenUnited'', but are adversaries in ''Film/XMenTheLastStand''.
* YouCantGoHomeAgain: After Stryker's raid on the school in ''Film/X2XMenUnited'', Bobby, Rogue, Logan and Pyro stopped by the Drake family house in hopes of regrouping, which in the process revealed Bobby's mutant abilities to his parents. His ''own brother'' calls the police and reports them as a threat despite the mutants not harbouring any ill intentions. After Pyro stupidly attacks the officers in the standoff that follows, Bobby is forced to flee with the others knowing he can never come back.

->'''Played By''': Creator/EllenPage, Sumela Kay & Katie Stuart
->'''Film Appearances''': ''Film/XMen1 | Film/X2XMenUnited | Film/XMenTheLastStand | Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast''

A mutant with the power of 'phasing' (meaning she can make her body insubstantial and travel through solid objects). She later develops Mental Time Travel abilities in between the events of ''The Last Stand'' and ''Days of Future Past''.
----
* AscendedExtra: She has cameos in the [[Film/XMen1 first]] [[Film/X2XMenUnited two]] films, and then a more major role in the [[Film/XMenTheLastStand third]] and [[Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast fifth]] (seventh if you include the Wolverine movies) films.
* BadassAdorable: She totally pwned [[Film/XMenTheLastStand The Juggernaut]], [[MemeticMutation bitch]]!
* CompositeCharacter: Rachel Summers's role in [[Comicbook/DaysOfFuturePast the original comic]] is given to her in ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast''.
* CuteBruiser: This cutie even made ''The Juggernaut'' her bitch!
* DeadlyDodging: Used against Juggernaut in ''Film/XMenTheLastStand'', as she tricks him into crashing into a wall behind her; due to their powers being temporarily nullified by Leech, he's promptly knocked out.
* {{Determinator}}: In ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', she must keep the link open, is at one point stabbed by Logan when his present body reacts violently to mental trauma in the past. And due to how time runs concurrently in the past and present, it's implied that it takes a few days before Logan and co. can properly stop Mystique, which means that she is slowly bleeding out and can't sleep for that period.
* FanservicePack: In ''Film/XMenTheLastStand'' while wearing her X-Men uniform.
* IndyPloy: To take down Juggernaut, Shadowcat goads him into charging at her and Leech. Leech's power nullifies the Juggernaut's, and when he slams into the wall he gets knocked out.
* IntangibleMan: Her mutation allows her to do this.
* LittleMissBadass: She made the Juggernaut her bitch!

->'''Played By''': Daniel Cudmore
->'''Film Appearances''': ''Film/XMen1 | Film/X2XMenUnited | Film/XMenTheLastStand | Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast''

A mutant who can transform his skin into an organic steel, granting superhuman strength and a resistance to damage and temperature.

For the AlternateTimeline's Colossus introduced in ''Film/Deadpool2016'', see Characters.{{Deadpool 2016}}.
----
* TheBigGuy: He is the strongest member of the X-Men and his power revolves around hitting hard and shrugging off blows that could take out most other mutants.
* FastBallSpecial:
** [[TropeNamer Naturally]]. He pulls this off with Wolverine as the fastball.
** In ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', ''he's'' the fastball. Blink throws him at the Sentinels by using her portals (first, he goes through one where the other end is high in the air; then, right before he hits the ground, she opens another one with the other end behind a Sentinel).
* FlatCharacter: He becomes a full X-Man in ''Film/XMenTheLastStand'', but still only has a single line and no discernible personality whatsoever.
* GentleGiant: Is on the good guys' side.
* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: In ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', he [[spoiler:is torn in half by a pair of Future Sentinels. Fortunately, it is undone by the CosmicRetcon.]]
* {{Hunk}}: He's the largest of the X-Men and ''quite'' good-looking.
* MadeOfIron: ''[[ExtraOreDinary Literally]]'' when his mutant ability is active, which allows him to take more punishment than any other member of the team.
* MrFanservice: Spends most of his screen time in ''Film/X2XMenUnited'' running around shirtless, and his uniform in ''Film/XMenTheLastStand'' lacks sleeves to show off his physique.
* TheQuietOne:
** He has only one line in ''Film/XMenTheLastStand'', despite his larger role.
** In ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', he has his largest role yet, but his speaking part only consists of a single word.
* PermaShave: In 2023, he has very little facial hair despite living in a post-apocalyptic world where mutants are being hunted down by Sentinels.
* SleevesAreForWimps: His uniform in ''Film/XMenTheLastStand'' is sleeveless, showing off his muscles and more of his transformation when using his power.

->'''Played By''': Creator/AlanCumming & Kodi Smit-Mcphee
->'''Film Appearances''': ''Film/X2XMenUnited | Film/XMenApocalypse''

A kindly German mutant with a strong Catholic faith, yet ironically he has the appearance of a blue demon. He is capable of teleporting himself (and others) instantly from one location to another. On his body are many scarification marks, one for every sin. After fleeing from East Berlin, he becomes a student at Xavier's school and a member of the X-Men in the AlternateTimeline.
----
* EightiesHair: In 1983, his bangs come straight from Music/AFlockOfSeagulls.
* {{Adorkable}}:
** ''Film/X2XMenUnited'': Loves to give (often interrupted) long-winded introduction speeches, playfully spies on secret meetings, and awkwardly flirts with Storm.
** ''Film/XMenApocalypse'':
*** This is Kodi Smit-[=McPhee=]'s assessment of Nightcrawler from the May 2016 issue of ''Empire''.
---->"Kurt's an affectionate, cute character. He's almost a cute animal to me. [...] He's awkward and weird and amazing in a different way."
*** After escaping from the Eastern side of the Berlin Wall, apparently the first thing he does is get himself a replica of the ''Music/{{Thriller}}'' jacket.
*** Near the end of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFMyEOuTfxY this commercial]], he tries to be menacing towards Quicksilver, but his growl isn't much more threatening than a cat's purr. Before that, he's reading an article on Gothic churches.
* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Blue.
* ApologeticAttacker: Apologizes for burning Angel's right wing in the East Berlin fight club in ''Film/XMenApocalypse''.
* BadassAdorable: His adolescent self in ''Film/XMenApocalypse.''
* BadassLongcoat: Wears this in most of ''Film/X2XMenUnited''.
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: [[spoiler:By Stryker in ''Film/X2XMenUnited''.]]
* TheBusCameBack: After a 13-year-long absence from the silver screen, we finally see him again in ''Film/XMenApocalypse''.
* CharacterDevelopment: Kodi Smit-[=McPhee=] elaborates on his [[http://www.joblo.com/movie-news/meet-the-x-men-apocalypse-cast-storm-magneto-cyclops-psylocke-more-943 character's journey]] in ''Film/XMenApocalypse''.
-->"Nightcrawler, he's kind of scared of his own shadow at this point, so he's probably pretty terrified. Through everything he does in this movie it's kind of, as we say, the stepping-stones of becoming the brave hero he is."
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: He was a major character and a potential love interest for Storm in ''Film/X2XMenUnited'', but he didn't appear in ''Film/XMenTheLastStand'' because actor Creator/AlanCumming found the make-up and prosthetic process grueling and refused to return to it without Creator/BryanSinger. Cumming can be seen in the behind-the-scenes footage for ''Film/X2XMenUnited'' already stating that he never wants to go through the ordeal again. The video game based on the films which takes place between the two movies explains that he, a peaceful man, went abroad to distance himself from the X-Men's violent lifestyle.
* CircusBrat: He spent most of his life with the Munich circus before he was [[Film/X2XMenUnited kidnapped by Colonel Stryker]]. In the AlternateTimeline, he leaves the circus when he's still a teenager.
* CoveredInScars: He is covered, from his pointy ears to all four of his toes, in rather artistic-looking raised scars. They're self-inflicted; apparently, he felt the need to punish himself for... something. He seems to be a bit of a [[ExtremeDoormat harmless milksop]], so it's somewhat baffling and/or depressing to think about what he could possibly have to feel so guilty about. It could be related to the fact he's a devout Catholic.
* DarkIsNotEvil: As the description states, he looks like a dark blue demon, but is strongly religious and helps the good guys.
* DistressedDude: In ''Film/XMenApocalypse'', he's rescued by Raven when he's at the East Berlin cage match.
* FightClubbing: He's forced to participate in this in ''Film/XMenApocalypse'' after being abducted by the organizers of the East Berlin venue.
* FunnyForeigner: His culture shock is played for laughs in ''X-Men Apocalypse.''
* HellBentForLeather: His ''Music/{{Thriller}}'' jacket is made out of red leather.
* HeroWorshipper: In ''Film/XMenApocalypse'', he sees Raven as a figure of legend (like many other mutants), and is understandably surprised and pleased when she comes to rescue him.
* IWasQuiteALooker: Not that he was exactly ''bad'' looking as an adult, but he was an elfin [[PrettyBoy cutie pie]] during his adolescence.
* LightningBruiser: Even faster as he teleports.
* TheMagnificent: The Incredible Nightcrawler. He hasn't particularly let it go to his head, possibly because he gained the title as a circus acrobat, but he'll still drop it in occasionally.
* MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily: Played with. He has a mouthful of fangs that were something between human-like and shark-like, rather than merely pointed eyeteeth as in the comics. Fortunately he's a pretty cool guy [[spoiler:when he's not under mind control]].
%%* NiceGuy
* NotEvenBotheringWithTheAccent: The only character to avert this.
* OneOfTheKids: In ''Film/X2XMenUnited'', he was excluded from the planning session along with the younger X-Men.
* PluckyComicRelief: He provides some of the more amusing moments in ''Film/X2XMenUnited'' and ''Film/XMenApocalypse''.
* PrehensileTail: Reptile-like tail, though it's rarely used for grabbing someone (unlike, say, Azazel).
* PrettyBoy: Although he falls more on the "cute" side in ''Film/XMenApocalypse'', he is extremely attractive with his elfin features (particularly larger, more prominent ears) which are further enhanced by his adolescent development. They reflect his {{Adorkable}} personality, and even with the scars on his face, the impression Nightcrawler leaves on viewers is that he's a lovely blue elf rather than a freaky blue demon.
* PutOnABus: He didn't appear in ''Film/XMenTheLastStand'', with no explanation given. (The in-universe reason appears in ''X-Men: The Official Game'' where Nightcrawler leaves due to the X-Men's missions clashing with his peaceful nature. The RealLife one was Creator/AlanCumming refused to return without Creator/BryanSinger, especially since he was not fond of the torturous make-up sessions. In one of the behind-the-scenes featurettes, he readily admits that he doesn't think he could come back and go through it again.) He returns in ''Film/XMenApocalypse'', but that film is [[spoiler:set in an AlternateTimeline.]]
* RaisedCatholic: Is a devout Catholic who questions if his demonic appearance is a curse from God for some misdeeds that he must atone for, to the point of tattooing crosses and such.
* ReligiousBruiser: Even reaches TheAtoner levels in ''Film/X2XMenUnited''. Downplayed in ''Film/XMenApocalypse'', as he is less overtly religious, but is shown praying [[spoiler:for Alex's soul when he, Scott and Jean have stowed away on Stryker's helicopter.]]
* RunningGag: In ''Film/X2XMenUnited'', every time he meets someone new, he ''has'' to introduce himself with a long speech... and gets cut off nearly every time.
* SelfHarm: Implicitly where all those scars came from.
* ShipTease: With Storm in ''Film/X2XMenUnited''.
* TeleportSpam: His attack on the White House in ''Film/X2XMenUnited'', where he's kicking, throwing, punching, and just beating the crap out of every agent from every angle, with the last one in glorious slow motion.
** Then there's ''Film/XMenApocalypse'', where his teleportation gets used to its maximum potential. His fight with Archangel is particularly an impressive display of [[PerfectlyCromulentWord teleportmanship]].
* ThouShaltNotKill: Given his religiousness...
* TimeShiftedActor: He is portrayed by two different actors: one as an adult and the other as an adolescent.
* TokenReligiousTeammate: He is a devout Catholic.
* WhatBeautifulEyes: His irises were yellow in ''Film/X2XMenUnited'', but they are rimmed with red in ''Film/XMenApocalypse''.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: And skin!

A student at Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters who can generate colourful energy bursts.
----
* AgeLift: By virtue of ''Film/XMenApocalypse'', she's roughly the same age as Cyclops and Jean, despite being younger than most of the characters on this page throughout the original trilogy and in the comics.
* AdvertisedExtra: She gets the same amount of promotion as the other new mutants at Xavier Institute in ''Film/XMenApocalypse'', but has the least role among them; in particular, she [[spoiler: gets left behind by Stryker in the destroyed Xavier Mansion and thus doesn't participate in the fight against Apocalypse (while Jean, Cyclops, and Nightcrawler do).]] And no, she doesn't have time to show off her powers, either. This is, however, still larger than any of the previous films, where she just serves as cameos.
* TheFashionista: She is this, according to [[http://40.media.tumblr.com/b576c8fb34a28f5372039557004c5a1f/tumblr_nrl9qdG1v61sb6kg7o1_1280.jpg this magazine scan]].

!Free Mutants

The Free Mutants were a global network of mutant resistance founded by Lucas Bishop in 2018 in response to increased attacks on mutants by Trask Industries and their Sentinels, machines created explicitly for the purpose of hunting down and killing mutants. They allied with X-Men in the BadFuture section of ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast''.

By 2023, their membership had dwindled down to only a handful of members, only managing to "survive" Sentinel attacks by Kitty Pryde sending Bishop's mind briefly into the past and warn the Free Mutants of the incoming attack early enough for there to be enough time to escape.

->'''Film Appearances''': ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast''

A large and powerful mutant with energy absorption and redirection powers and founder of the underground "Free Mutants" movement.
----
* AgeLift: Technically, his comic counterpart is still yet to be born, despite Blink, Warpath, and Sunspot being around.
* BadassBeard: It makes him look formidable.
* {{BFG}}: He wields one which he charges with his powers. On closer inspection, it appears to be ''connected to his circulatory system''.
* DreadlockWarrior: An extremely impressive and long variety.
* EnergyAbsorption: His mutant ability allows him to absorb any form of energy and redirect it, which he uses to charge his gun.
* AFatherToHisMen: In ''The Rogue Cut'', Bishop is [[WhatTheHellHero less than impressed]] with the plan, pointing out it might {{Retgone}} everyone born after the war began, and that if he and his people are to get behind it, they must vote.
* FlatCharacter: He is a glorified extra whose main purpose in the story is to serve as cannon fodder for the 2023-era Sentinels.

->'''Film Appearances''': ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast''

A young mutant with teleportation powers; she's able to generate a series of connected portals that anyone can pass through.
----

* TheArtifact: In the comics, she gets her name from the sound made when she teleports, a loud "bloink". The portals she creates in the film don't make that noise, but she's still called Blink.
** This can still stand as a reference to the fact that short-range teleportation is often called "blinking" in some sci-fi/fantasy franchises.

* BraidsOfAction: She wears her hair in a long fishtail braid (see image).
* EarlyBirdCameo: WordOfGod is she'll be in ''Film/XMenApocalypse'' as well; which [[Comicbook/AgeOfApocalypse makes sense.]]
* EmeraldPower: She has an eye-only example (a kinda realistic version of [[http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20090310202912/marveldatabase/images/thumb/0/06/Clarice_Ferguson_%28Earth-295%29.png/250px-Clarice_Ferguson_%28Earth-295%29.png her comics counterpart's]] [[MonochromaticEyes fully-green eyes]] - the shade is still unusual, and [[PowerGlows her eyes glow]]).

* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [[spoiler:Twice by Sentinels, thanks to the ResetButton. She got it three times in succession the second time.]]
* IWillFightSomeMoreForever: In the ''Rogue Cut'', at the beginning she suggests rather than risking their lives in the time-travel scheme they keep fighting, even though it's quite obvious there's no point. That said, she still agrees to the plan, and since [[spoiler:Iceman dies earlier in that version, she's the last Mutant to go down]].
* MulticoloredHair: She has dark hair with purple streaks.
* PointyEars: Although why the ability to create portals would also give her pointy ears isn't known. It could be just a peculiar side-effect of having Teleport Spam abilities since Nightcrawler and Azazel also have them.
* PortalCut: She cuts off a Sentinel's arm by this way, which makes her the only Free Mutant who manages to do important damage to one of the Sentinels in that battle. However, it seems that she can't deliberately use this power, as it only happens by pure accident [[spoiler:when she is killed through one of her portals.]]
%%* RoseHairedSweetie
* SameLanguageDub: All of her lines are dubbed by an uncredited actress. This may be due to Fan Bingbing possibly having difficulty with English.
* SkywardScream: She lets out a small cry towards the heavens after [[spoiler:being stabbed by three Sentinels.]]
* TeleportSpam: Her main tactic in fight scenes in ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast''. Opening portals in the paths of projectiles, BeamSpam, and even blades to make Sentinels injure each other or themselves. Her powers make her extremely effective in fighting the Sentinels, both in taking them out herself and assisting the others in fighting them.
* ThinkingUpPortals: Can create portals, which she uses rather liberally. Tellingly, she was the last frontline defender to die in the final battle, and the Sentinels were only able to beat her through sheer number.

He's got more [[JustifiedTrope justified reasons]] than in most examples of the trope.
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: For the First Class trilogy; Professor X in the comics was never depicted being [[PrettyBoy gorgeous]] like Creator/JamesMcAvoy, and instead of being bald for his entire adulthood, the film version is blessed with luxurious locks when he's a younger man.
* AdaptationalNationality: In the comic books, he is fully American, but the movie-verse establishes that he's half-British through his mother, and therefore he may possess dual USA/UK citizenship.
* AdaptationDyeJob: Professor X in the comics was blond before he lost his hair, but his movie counterpart is a brunet.
* AddledAddict: In between 1963 and 1973, he is so far gone with his alcoholism and self-medication that he can't function without Hank's help.
* {{Adorkable}}: In ''Film/XMenFirstClass'', he was a cute geek during his childhood, as demonstrated by the framed pictures of his favourite scientists next to his bed. As an adult, he uses his nerdy knowledge to woo girls at bars.
* AgentPeacock: ''Professor'' Peacock, to be more precise. When he still has hair, his [[PrettyBoy porcelain doll-like face]] and [[InTouchWithHisFeminineSide nurturing personality]] make him the most androgynous male lead of the franchise. He's the most formidable telepath on Earth who can [[Film/X2XMenUnited kill anyone with a thought]], and he carries a streak of vanity which is a product of his upper-class upbringing (his mother was a haughty British {{Socialite}}). In ''Film/XMenFirstClass'', Charles is a suave womanizer who is perfectly aware of how appealing he is, and he doesn't allow Hank to shave his head when he tests the Cerebro prototype ("[[NobodyTouchesTheHair Don't touch my hair]]"). In ''Film/XMenApocalypse'', he's pushing 50, yet he still takes delight in being hip and attractive by following [[TheEighties '80s]] fashion trends with a feathered mullet and a ''Series/MiamiVice''-inspired wardrobe. Even after Xavier becomes bald and loses his prettiness, he still adorns himself in [[SharpDressedMan snazzy suits]]. Saving the world is hard work, and he wants to look good doing it. Heck, Creator/PatrickStewart even admits on the "Two Worlds, Two Battles" documentary of ''The Rogue Cut'' that his character "has been seen as something of a peacock over all these years."
* TheAlcoholic: In ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', his younger self has been a drunk for the past decade by the time Logan meets him.
* AllLovingHero: He's still devoted to protecting humans even when they try to subjugate or even commit genocide against mutantkind. Compared to a normal person, he's unusually forgiving towards Erik, who has ruined and endangered Xavier's life (and is a big threat to the X-Men) more than once.
* BackupTwin: In TheStinger for ''Film/XMenTheLastStand'', he is [[spoiler:revealed to have transferred his consciousness to another body to survive his physical death. According to WordOfGod, the recipient was a brain-dead identical twin who was as such since Xavier first used his powers. Confirmed in ''Film/TheWolverine'' when he shows up to meet Logan at the airport much to the latter's surprise. This, however, might now be subverted as the new AlternateTimeline from ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'' may have cosmically erased all or most of the events of ''Film/XMenTheLastStand''.]]
* BadassBoast: In ''Film/XMenApocalypse'', [[spoiler:as he lies on the ground and loses blood after being beaten to a pulp by Apocalypse during their BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind, he still reminds Apocalypse that he is alone, and he [Charles] is NOT! Cue Jean unleashing the Phoenix]].
* BadassBookworm: He is an Oxford graduate as shown in ''Film/XMenFirstClass'', with a doctorate in genetics. Xavier single-handedly prevents the Third World War with some quick thinking and telepathy; he blows up the vessel which was commandeered by the Hellfire Club through a Soviet officer on another warship. Later, he [[spoiler:holds a telepathic link in order to immobilise Shaw while Magneto pushes a coin through Sebastian's skull. Charles feels ''everything'', but he doesn't let go of the connection despite the agony he experiences]].
* BadassGrandpa: For the films set in the 21st century, he's fairly old. He's at least pushing 90 by 2023.
* BadassTeacher: ''Professor'' Charles Xavier. Specifically, with a doctorate in genetics.
** At the end of ''Film/XMen1'', Magneto asks him what happens when someone finds out about his mutant school, and Xavier replies that he has a great deal of pity for anyone who comes to the school looking for trouble. He was probably referring to ''[[BewareTheNiceOnes himself]]'', since in ''Film/X2XMenUnited'' Stryker's forces only attacked when they knew that Xavier wasn't there, having incapacitated him ''[[DangerouslyGenreSavvy first]]''. Xavier also claims that if he wanted to, he could make Wolverine spend the rest of his life believing he was a "[[BrainwashedAndCrazy six-year-old girl with pigtails]]" simply for ignoring his rules about ''[[FelonyMisdemeanor no smoking]]'' in the mansion! He was joking that time, but imagine the carnage Xavier could cause if he ever got downright ''[[GoodIsNotNice furious]]''?![[note]]Look up Onslaught.[[/note]]
** Not to mention the times that he's demonstrated just how awesome his powers are. He can psychically freeze entire airports full of people, co-opt the mind of anyone he can "see" and force them to be a perfect mouthpiece for himself, switch between bodies and even psychically control people if need be, despite the gravity of his puppet's own powers. And his strength has only increased with age.
* BaldOfAwesome: Played straight when he's an elderly man, and during the latter stage of ''Film/XMenApocalypse''. Averted in most of the First Class trilogy because he still has hair and fears losing it.
* BeardOfSorrow: In ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', his younger self has one when Wolverine first visits him in 1973; Logan finds a man broken by despair. Played with, as Charles keeps it for the entire movie even after he begins to move beyond his personal pain.
* BecameTheirOwnAntithesis: The once effervescent and idealistic Xavier we saw in ''Film/XMenFirstClass'' has crumbled into a heap of melancholia and cynicism in between 1963 and 1973. His telepathy, which he had been at ease with since he was 12 years old, has suddenly become a heavy burden that he avoids using at all cost. Charles' social drinking has deteriorated into alcoholism, and he gives up on other activities that he used to enjoy, such as teaching, scientific research and womanizing, in favour of a self-imposed exile from everything that exists beyond his mansion. Xavier has more or less reduced himself into a ManChild who is completely dependent on Hank, when in the other movies, various mutants rely on the paternal telepath for emotional support. Even the way he dresses has changed dramatically; the impeccable suits that define Professor X's style have been replaced by a gaudy paisley shirt paired with a brown leather jacket, or if he's feeling especially lazy, just an undershirt with jeans. Charles has also neglected his grooming, which makes him look like a confused hippie or a hobo instead of a well-adjusted, upper-class academic.
* BigBrotherInstinct:
** ''Film/XMenFirstClass'': He had this for Raven, being very concerned about hiding her mutant form in public and telling her directly that he didn't want anything to happen to her. However, his relationship with his foster sister [[{{Deconstruction}} deconstructs]] this phenomenon because it caused him to become [[MyBelovedSmother overprotective]] to the point where he denied her the chance to embrace her true appearance and be proud of what she was, as well as caused him to [[ObliviousToLove ignore her very obvious crush on him]]. This in turn made Raven turn to Erik as a mentor/love interest and eventually joins him in his cause against humanity.
** ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'': When his younger self sees Mystique again for the first time in 11 years, he caresses her hair and shoulder as a gesture of comfort while telling her that he will keep her safe among other soothing words. [[spoiler:When Magneto then points a gun in her direction]], Xavier stands in between the barrel and his foster sister, and [[spoiler:Erik later has to use his power to change the bullet's trajectory so that it won't hit Charles in the head]]. Despite their estrangement, he is willing to die for Raven to save her life.
* BigBrotherMentor: Because he and Hank share a lot in common, Xavier treats [=McCoy=] more like a little brother than the other young recruits in ''Film/XMenFirstClass''.
* BigGood:
** He is this most of the time, but it's deconstructed to some degree in ''Film/XMenTheLastStand''. [[spoiler:He's called out by Logan about putting up mental blocks in Jean Grey's mind in order to suppress the split persona that called itself the Phoenix. Needlessly to say, Xavier had more or less IDidWhatIHadToDo in-order to suppress the Phoenix.]]
** ''Film/XMenFirstClass'': He is the leader of the heroic team that eventually defeats the BigBad. He brought them together, trained them and inspired them to be valiant when faced with great peril.
** Both his future self and the elderly Magneto share this role in ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast''. And his younger self is growing into this.
* BirdsOfAFeather:
** ''Film/XMenFirstClass'': Among the young recruits, he connects more strongly with [=McCoy=] than with the others because both men are scientists with a similar temperament who believe it's important to HideYourOtherness from human society. ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'' even goes a step further by showing us that they become HeterosexualLifePartners.
** ''Film/XMenApocalypse'': Jean Grey is described as being scared of her telepathic power and is one of Charles' most prized students in [[http://40.media.tumblr.com/b576c8fb34a28f5372039557004c5a1f/tumblr_nrl9qdG1v61sb6kg7o1_1280.jpg this magazine scan.]] Xavier himself struggled with his psychic abilities as a child (as mentioned in ''Days of Future Past''), so he relates more strongly to Jean's situation than the difficulties the other young mutants have faced. (This is confirmed by [[http://www.digitalspy.com/movies/x-men/news/a780714/sophie-turner-on-how-she-became-jean-grey-for-x-men-apocalypse/ Sophie Turner.]]) Creator/BryanSinger states in [[http://www.empireonline.com/movies/features/x-men-apocalypse-trailer-breakdown/ this article]] that "Jean has a special connection with Xavier, she has a special connection with the psychic world and she has enormous untapped power that's growing."
* BlessedWithSuck:
** ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'':
*** After slipping into a deep depression, his younger self views his telepathy as a curse because he can no longer control it. He is unable to shut out the clamour of thoughts that he doesn't want to hear, and this causes a tremendous amount of agony, to the point where he becomes addicted to a serum which numbs his ability, allowing him to sleep at night.
*** At the age of nine, Xavier believed that he was mentally ill (schizophrenia, most likely) due to the voices in his head, and it took him ''three whole years'' to recognize that he was actually telepathic--as dysfunctional as he is in 1973, his childhood experience must have been downright nightmarish in comparison.
* BrainCriticalMass: He's highly intellectual and he's the greatest psychic on the planet.
* BrainyBrunet: When he still has hair in the First Class trilogy; he has a doctorate in genetics.
* BreakTheCutie:
** ''Film/XMenFirstClass'': When the movie starts, he's a friendly, happy-go-lucky, idealistic Oxford grad whose only interests are protecting his foster sister, studying genetics, drinking yards of beer and picking up coeds. His initial reaction to meeting other mutants is a puppyish eagerness to find others like him, as well as a gung-ho enthusiasm to [[TheyFightCrime work with a superhuman team to fight evil]]. During the climax, [[spoiler:he gets smacked around in a variety of ways, including telepathically experiencing Shaw's gruesome death at Magneto's hands, getting shot in the spine, and having the US government, his best friend, and his sister all turn against him. By the finale, [[HumansAreBastards his government is trying to hunt him down]], his [[FaceHeelTurn best friend is preparing for a war against humans]], and he's crippled for life in a wheelchair.]] We know from future installments that he never quite abandons his ideals, but he's frighteningly subdued, and obviously much more cautious about who knows his secrets.
** ''Film/XMenApocalypse'': For the past decade, he has been very happy running his school with Hank by his side, and he's pleased by human society being more accepting of mutants. He's then kidnapped by Apocalypse (and with Magneto's assistance, no less), his home is blown to smithereens, and he's brought half-way across the world into a situation where's he's completely at the mercy of a mutant who's more powerful than he is. Apocalypse wants to cleanse the Earth of any mutant or human who isn't strong enough to survive the new world order, and he intends to [[spoiler:exploit Xavier's telepathy to facilitate this extinction-level event by taking control of him]]. For Charles, this is a far more terrible hell than what he had endured in the previous two films. [[https://in.movies.yahoo.com/post/137684622919/x-men-apocalypse-on-set-of-the-darker- McAvoy sums up his character's suffering as:]]
--->"It wasn't just the weight of the world I was feeling. It was the death of the world."
* BrokenBird: Time and events have really taken their toll on his younger self in ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast''. He lost Raven and Erik, Sean had disappeared several years prior [[spoiler:(and is later confirmed dead at the hands of Trask)]], then most his teachers and students were drafted to the UsefulNotes/VietnamWar, leaving him alone except for Hank. He's taking a serum designed by [=McCoy=] that suppresses his powers and restores the use of his legs just so he can sleep at night without feeling other people's pain.
* TheCameo:
** [[spoiler:An uncredited and digitally rejuvenated Creator/PatrickStewart appears in ''Film/XMenOriginsWolverine''.]]
** [[spoiler:A resurrected Professor X greets Logan--much to the latter's astonishment--during the post-credits scene in ''Film/TheWolverine''.]]
* TheCharmer: In his youth, he uses his bubbly exuberance and [[PowerPerversionPotential his psychic powers]] to pick up women in pubs on campus. Creator/MichaelFassbender [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umnOwvfR3d4 has admitted]] that he had portrayed Erik as being captivated by Xavier's charisma.
-->'''Fassbender''': The first thing that James [[=McAvoy=]] did was he brought a little mischief, a little bit of a rebel to Professor X. Which I think really was very clever because looking at it from where Erik is standing, there was something about that he found very endearing, and he was charmed by this man. I think that's why the fans really react to the bromance thing, there's a real sort of Butch Cassidy element that he brings to it, James, which I thought was really smart.
* CharacterDevelopment:
** ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'' focuses primarily on his transition from a BrokenBird to gradually embracing the role of an AllLovingHero. As Simon Kinberg explains in the January 2014 issue of ''Total Film'':
--->"...very early on we made the decision that it was young Charles' arc, and that really the emotional story of the movie is watching him go from the guy who's lost his legs, lost his best friend, lost his sister, and in some ways lost his mind, to a guy who will become the all-powerful, benevolent Professor Xavier. [=McAvoy=] is really about as far as one can be from the Patrick Stewart that we know from ''X1'', and we're really watching him take the first big step towards owning that chair and being a leader."
** ''Film/XMenApocalypse'': His idealism is [[http://collider.com/x-men-apocalypse-news-things-to-know/ ripped away from him again,]] but instead of breaking into pieces like he did in between ''First Class'' and ''Days of Future Past'', his experience with Apocalypse hardens him, resulting in a slightly darker, but wiser Professor X than in the original timeline.
* ChickMagnet: In ''Film/XMenFirstClass'', he has the attention of Amy (the blond woman with heterochromia--she has a FunnyBackgroundEvent showing her continued interest), his sister figure Raven (who has a crush on him) and Moira (there is a deleted scene where she and Charles are making out after drinking too much champagne, and at the end, they kiss).
* ChivalrousPervert:
** ''Film/XMenFirstClass'': He boldly hits on co-eds, but when his latest target for conquest sincerely needs help, he's all business.
** ''Film/XMenApocalypse'': [[http://www.allocine.fr/article/fichearticle_gen_carticle=18650173.html In this French interview]], Creator/JamesMcAvoy discloses Xavier's lust and adoration for Moira.
--->"Definitely he has... the hots for her! ''(laughs)'' She gives new meaning to his life, undoubtedly. [...] Charles is madly in love with Moira and he will do everything to protect her."
* ColorCodedCharacters: Although he's comfortable enough with his masculinity to confidently wear "feminine" hues such as pink or lilac, he's mainly associated with various shades of blue, grey and white.
* ConvenientlyCoherentThoughts: A justified case near the climax of ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast''. Among the cacophony of thoughts at the White House, his 1973 self can distinctly hear Mystique's inner voice speaking, "This is for you, brothers and sisters." When you are Professor Charles Xavier, it's not convenience; it's skill.
* CoolHelmet: Unlike the previous models of the Cerebro helmet, the inner wiring of TheEighties version [[http://cdn2-www.comingsoon.net/assets/uploads/gallery/bts-x-men-apocalypse/xmna28.jpg lights up when activated.]]
* CoolOldGuy: Has an almost grandfatherly sort of relationship with his students during his older years.
* CoolShades: In 1973, he sports fashionable '70s-style sunglasses. He updates to an '80s look in 1983.
* CoolTeacher:
** ''Film/XMenFirstClass'': He adopts this role when he trains the young mutants; he is always friendly, supportive and caring.
** ''Film/XMenApocalypse'': He's well-liked by his students because of his warm and pleasant disposition. He even dresses cool by [[TheEighties '80s]] standards (his clothing is more casual than what he wore in the original trilogy and in ''Film/XMenFirstClass''), which makes it a little easier for the youngsters to relate to him because he puts in some effort in following current trends.
* CulturedBadass: Comes with his educated status.
* DarkSecret: By 1973, he had never revealed to anyone--not even Raven, Erik or Hank--that as a nine-year-old kid, he thought he was going insane after his telepathy became active, and he didn't learn until he was twelve that he could in fact read other people's minds.
* DeadpanSnarker: In ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', 1973 Charles displays this when Wolverine states the obvious.
-->'''Logan''': You can walk.\\
'''Charles''': [[SarcasmMode You're a perceptive one. [...] I find it slightly perplexing that you managed to miss our sign on the way in.]]
** And later:
-->'''Logan''': That's it, you're just gonna to walk out?\\
'''Charles''': [[SarcasmMode Oh, top marks, like I said, you're perceptive.]]
* DefrostingIceKing: He has done this to both Logan and Erik.
** ''Film/XMenTheLastStand'': It's alluded to when the Phoenix (who is presumably using her telepathy) says to Wolverine, "What, you think [the Professor's] not in your head, too? Look at you, Logan. He's ''tamed'' you." Unbeknownst to both Wolverine and the audience, he has grown to love Xavier as a friend, and this finally comes to light after [[spoiler:Logan crumbles emotionally after Charles is murdered]]. This is the first time in the original trilogy where Wolverine had displayed this much vulnerability towards a male character.
** ''Film/XMenFirstClass'': In a PowerOfFriendship example, the combination of Charles' sensitivity and intelligence is able to "thaw" Erik's cold heart, making him the first and only person in the original timeline[[note]]Lehnsherr has a [[Film/XMenApocalypse wife and child]] only in the AlternateTimeline[[/note]] Erik has loved since the death of the latter's family during UsefulNotes/WorldWarII.
** ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'': Wolverine's bond with the elderly Professor X must have grown quite strong during the TimeSkip in between ''Film/TheWolverine'' and ''Days of Future Past'' because after Logan meets the younger Charles--who is practically a stranger to him--he gradually sheds his outer "macho armour." Compared to Wolverine's normally gruff exterior (especially towards other male characters), he really is quite gentle with Xavier in a few scenes where it's just the two of them, like the plane ride to Washington D.C. and the heart-to-heart talk they share in the [[spoiler:AlternateTimeline]].
* DespairEventHorizon: In ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', after his younger self is forced to close his school after the first semester due to the VietnamWar conscription, he gives up his ambition to be a leader and protector of mutants, and becomes a self-medicating recluse.
%% ** DisabledSnarker
* DisabledLoveInterest: [[spoiler:In ''Film/XMenFirstClass'', it's hinted that he briefly had a romance with Moira after his spinal cord injury, but he is forced to end their relationship to protect himself and his students from the CIA.]]
* DisappearedDad: He mentions a stepfather in ''Film/XMenFirstClass''. In the comics, his biological father died when he was young.
* DisappointedInYou:
** ''Film/X2XMenUnited'': He is disgruntled by Pyro's mischief at the museum.
--->'''Professor X''': The next time you feel like showing off, ''don't''.
** ''Film/XMenFirstClass'':
*** He is upset when the mutant teens are behaving like party animals, and he rebukes them with a frown.
--->"I expect more from you."
*** After Havok insults Hank by calling him "Bozo," Charles' terse delivery of "Thank you, Alex" is his very polite way of saying, "Shut up."
** ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'': It's subtle, but there is resentment in his past self's voice when he says, "Goodbye, Erik."
* DisneyDeath: [[spoiler:In ''Film/XMenTheLastStand''. He has a spare body just in case.]]
* DistressedDude:
** ''Film/X2XMenUnited'': The X-Men have to rescue him from Colonel Stryker's clutches.
** ''Film/XMenApocalypse'': He's abducted by Apocalypse and his team.
* DoesntLikeGuns: In ''Film/XMenFirstClass'', he is very uncomfortable while aiming a gun at Erik's forehead during a training exercise. He refuses to pull the trigger despite Erik's insistence.
* DontCallMeSir: In 1973, he insists that Logan not address him by his professor title.
* DrinkOrder:
** ''Film/XMenFirstClass'':
*** When he's at Oxford, he orders a pint of beer and chugs down a yard of ale, which is stereotypically more "plebian" than, let's say, a martini. On the other hand, students at British universities of all levels of study and social backgrounds are renowned for being just as hard-drinking as their American counterparts (if not more so, considering the minimum drinking age is 18) and often doing so in pubs. To be honest, it would be weirder if he didn't drink in a pub, although it is unexpected (and impressive) for a young Professor X to down a yard.
*** He and Erik wish to maintain an air of sophistication when they visit Angel at the strip club, so both men are sipping champagne.
** ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'': His 1973 self is frequently seen consuming whiskey. It is generally viewed as a "manly" drink, but it's inverted in this case because he's an [[DrowningMySorrows extremely depressed]] ManChild.
* DrowningMySorrows: In ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', his younger self attempts to escape from his emotional torment by consuming copious amounts of alcohol.
* EmotionalPowers: In the "X-Men Unguarded" group discussion on ''The Rogue Cut'', Creator/JamesMcAvoy explains why his character's distress causes his telepathy to go haywire, and more specifically, why Xavier can no longer separate everyone else's pain from his own.
--> "[...] Charles as I've had the opportunity to play him, is a voyeur. So he's a genius, and he's got this ability to read people's minds. But his real power is a very human thing, his real gift is empathy. He can empathize with people's problems and he can help them. But as a young man, I think, certainly the way I tried to play him, is that he was much more kind of like a posh guy fascinated with working class guys. [...] And then what happens in this movie and the end of [''First Class''], you give him his angst, you give him his thing that makes him just like everyone else. And therefore he can't be a voyeur inside people's minds any more. He's a passenger on the same train, and the train is going to hell."
* EstablishingCharacterMoment:
** When we first see him as a kid in ''Film/XMenFirstClass'', the framed photos on his night table are of Charles Darwin, Hedy Lamarr (who was both a Hollywood sex symbol and the [[http://www.theguardian.com/theguardian/shortcuts/2011/dec/04/hedy-lamarr-wifi co-inventor of a radio-guided torpedo system]]) and Albert Einstein. He would later grow up to be a scientist with an appreciation for both brains and beauty.
** He is very brave even as a child because when he suspects that a burglar has broken into his home, instead of alerting his parents or a servant, he grabs a baseball bat and approaches the intruder by himself.
** The first meeting between him and Raven showed his kindness and delight at finding other people who were different.
* EvenTheGuysWantHim: Even though they've only known each other for a couple of days in ''Film/XMenFirstClass'', the oh-so serious Erik Lehnsherr feels comfortable enough around the charming [[PrettyBoy Dr. Charles Xavier]] that he calls the telepath "adorable" when the latter tries the Cerebro machine for the first time. In the entire X-Men movie franchise, the dour Magneto never teases another male character for his cuteness, which goes to show how unique his affection for Professor X is. If you include Creator/MichaelFassbender's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umnOwvfR3d4 comments]] that Erik finds Charles to be "very endearing, and he was charmed by this man," then Lehnsherr considers Xavier to be a cutie pie inside ''and'' out.
* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: Creator/JamesMcAvoy's Professor X is finally bald in ''Film/XMenApocalypse'', which means that his transformation into Creator/PatrickStewart's character is complete, albeit with a few tweaks to his personality because his experience in the AlternateTimeline is quite different.
* {{Fanservice}}: A minor example in ''Film/XMenApocalypse'', where he owns a [[http://br.web.img1.acsta.net/newsv7/16/04/28/16/03/489905.jpg white shirt with vertical strips of semi-transparent material,]] so parts of his chest are somewhat visible. It's a deliberate attempt by the filmmakers to evoke the HotTeacher trope, as he was a HotScientist in ''Film/XMenFirstClass''. Even the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wj7Vs5xS2zs V-neck of Xavier's lilac shirt]] and the [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CfnMzOdUEAE5638.jpg:large 3/4 sleeves of his blazer]] expose a bit more flesh underneath his neck and around his lower arms than the conservative clothing that is archetypal to his character, so although he's not presented as outright sexy, the costume designer is nonetheless depicting Charles in a more sensual manner than in previous movies.
* FantasticDrug[=/=]GRatedDrug: In ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', his younger self being dependent on his medicine, and suffering intense pain from his powers returning when he stops taking it, is about the closest a PG-13 film can come to depicting the effects of drug abuse and withdrawal.
* FatalFlaw: His arrogance. Professor X has a habit of attempting to control those who are close to him, with or without the help of his psychic abilities. He's more inclined to do this with the women in his life (e.g. his foster sister and his surrogate daughter) than with the men. This paternalistic attitude stems from him being born in the early 1930's as a privileged male (Xavier was a male chauvinist in ''Film/XMenFirstClass''), and as a highly skilled telepath, he thinks he can understand a person better than s/he can know him/herself, and therefore he believes that he knows best in terms of what it is they truly "need."
** ''Film/XMenTheLastStand'': Upon meeting Jean Grey, he had placed constraints upon her powers which then led to the creation of [[SplitPersonality the Phoenix]], a PersonOfMassDestruction who ends up vaporizing a ''lot'' of people, [[spoiler:including Charles himself]]. Under the circumstances, her vast raw power, disregard for the sanctity of other minds, and the fact that her parents seemed to be outright afraid of her (and not without reason--pre-teen Jean is quite different from her warm-hearted and motherly adult self), this perhaps was not unwarranted.
** ''Film/XMenFirstClass'':
*** Trying to control Raven's life drove her away from him, which eventually resulted in her becoming the assassin Mystique who shared Magneto's goal of mutant supremacy.
*** Instead of trusting Moira to not divulge his and his students' location to her CIA superiors, he simply erases her memories of them. To be fair, Charles was worried that the CIA would torture her for information, but it's still a symptom of him of not having faith in a woman whom he cares about (an ImpliedLoveInterest, in this case).
** ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'': Part of his 1973 self's CharacterDevelopment revolves around realizing this and learning to trust instead of control. [[spoiler:It pays off when he proves just how much he trusts in Raven's good nature to do the right thing, instead of attempting to manipulate her. She doesn't murder Trask, and the bad Sentinel future is averted.]]
** ''Film/XMenApocalypse'':
*** Xavier "repairs" the tragic mistake he had made with Jean in the original timeline by [[spoiler:encouraging her to embrace her Phoenix power to its fullest extent, which allows her to defeat Apocalypse, and she ends up saving the world instead of becoming a mass-murdering villainess. By doing the opposite of what he did to Jean in ''Film/XMenTheLastStand'', Charles' fate is also reversed--he is rescued by her instead of being disintegrated.]]
*** He restores the memories that he took away from Moira in 1962, and although the long-term consequences with her are less severe than with Raven or Jean, they still bite him in the ass in a more subtle way. Xavier remains utterly smitten with Moira 21 years later (he's even jealous when he learns that she has an ex-husband), so his decision to rob her of a chunk of her past also robbed him of a potentially meaningful romance.
* AFatherToHisMen: The vast majority of the X-Men view Xavier as a father figure, and he in return treats them like his own children. His tendency to act as a ParentalSubstitute and BadassTeacher has reinforced UndyingLoyalty amongst his students, starting with the boys in ''Film/XMenFirstClass'' and extending all the way to the BadFuture of 2023 in ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast''.
* {{Fiction500}}: He comes from OldMoney, and his inherited fortune must be ''ludicrously'' vast because he has the financial means to operate and maintain his SuperheroSchool, which appears to house hundreds of students (can you imagine how high the food bill alone must be?). Moreover, he can fund the necessary research and development for high-tech vehicles, equipment and facilities that his BadassCrew requires. And the guy still has cash to spare because he enjoys some of the trappings of his upper-class upbringing, such as his [[SharpDressedMan expensive suits]], plus he owns [[Film/XMen1 several horses]] (naturally they're cared for in a well-stocked stable), and has a large [[Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast personal plane]] which is beautifully furnished. In other words, money is no issue for him ''whatsoever''.
* FingerlessGloves: He sports a pair while in Russia during ''Film/XMenFirstClass''. They're probably not helping him keep warm, but they look pretty damn cool.
* {{Foil}}:
** ''Film/XMenFirstClass'':
*** To Sebastian Shaw. Both are doctors of genetics who are interested in maximizing Lehnsherr's potential, but whereas Shaw uses torture to uncover his raw power, Xavier utilizes emotional intimacy to give Erik greater control. Erik grows to love Charles as a brother, but vehemently opposes the latter's peaceful approach to human-mutant relations. Magneto wholly embraces Shaw's mutant supremacist views, but loathes the man for murdering his mother.
*** Charles and Erik are juxtaposed in their respective Oxford pub and Argentinian bar scenes. The inebriated Xavier is the life of a party when he and his fellow graduate students celebrate the successful defense of his [=PhD=] thesis, and he later tries to flirt with Agent [=MacTaggert=]. The sober Lehnsherr is all business when he's hunting down Nazis, and he murders three men (including the bartender) in cold blood after taunting his prey. Producer Creator/BryanSinger gives a very basic summary of their differences in the "Magneto the Survivor" featurette:
---->"Ultimately, they come from different places. Erik Lehnsherr is a victim of the Holocaust, he probably left the war with nothing, and is very much a solitary man, while Xavier had a life of privilege, became a professor at Oxford, was surrounded by peers, has an intimate relationship with Mystique since childhood, so he's quite loved, and therefore quite idealistic, less embittered, and just has a very different view from Lehnsherr."
** ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'': His past self and Past Magneto were both inactive and isolated in between 1963 and 1973 (the former due to depression, the latter due to imprisonment). Erik shows signs of wanting to repair at least part of their previous friendship, but a bitter Charles isn't interested for the most part. Magneto tries to [[spoiler:kill Mystique]] while Xavier tries to protect her. Hank remains unwaveringly devoted to Charles, but Erik [[spoiler:loses Mystique's loyalty after the murder attempt]]. In ''Film/XMenFirstClass'', Erik personified "rage" while Charles embodied "serenity," but their roles are reversed in 1973. Xavier is now the one who is full of pain and anger, and therefore has great trouble wielding his telepathy, whereas Magneto is (relatively) calm and controlled, still possessing great mastery over his power despite being deprived of metal for a decade. (We even see Erik adopt a meditation pose in his prison cell, which makes him appear almost Zen-like.)
** ''Film/XMenApocalypse'':
*** Apocalypse sees himself as a god, whereas Professor X serves as a MessianicArchetype of the movie series. They are both mentors to their respective teams, and they reach out to mutants who feel lost, confused and alone, so their dominant [[TheLeader leadership style is Charismatic]]. They promote radically different ideologies: Apocalypse believes that the Earth should only belong to the strongest and the weak should be wiped out, while Charles thinks that it can be shared by everyone equally and peacefully. Their position on the [[http://s15.postimg.org/9vr8qydbv/Defend_Destroy.jpg "Defend" and "Destroy" posters]] mark them as foils.
*** Carolina Bartczak directly [[http://www.gettyimages.ca/detail/video/carolina-bartczak-on-working-with-jennifer-lawrence-and-news-footage/530556062 compares her character Magda with Xavier]]--the former is Erik's wife and the latter is his HeterosexualLifePartner--and her arc somewhat resembles Charles' from ''Film/XMenFirstClass''. They both love Lehnsherr in a similar way despite knowing the numerous crimes he has committed in the past. They both "start a family" with him (Magda gives birth to a daughter, while Charles and Erik "adopt" mutant teenagers with a TeamMom and a TeamDad dynamic). Both relationships [[spoiler:end in tragedy--Magda is killed, whereas Xavier and Lehnsherr's [[HomoeroticSubtext very close friendship ends in a "divorce,"]] plus Charles is [[TragicBromance accidentally crippled by Magneto]]]].
---->'''Carolina Bartczak''': She meets Erik after he has become this globally wanted criminal, and even on their first night, he tells her who he is. She sees something beautiful in him, something peaceful, something like Charles also sees in him, that he can be a good man and live a normal life. They actually fall in love and start a family.
*** Professor X and Quicksilver are light-hearted, [[TheCharmer charismatic]] {{Pretty Boy}}s and {{Chivalrous Pervert}}s, and they even share an attraction towards Moira.[[note]]It's downplayed in Quicksilver's case, but he is flirty with her just before he saves her from an explosion at Xavier's school.[[/note]] They have both undergone a ManChild phase and have parental issues--Charles had experienced [[ParentalNeglect emotional neglect]] from his mother, and Peter grew up [[DisappearedDad fatherless]]. Xavier and Maximoff are Erik's brother figure and biological son, respectively, yet ironically, Quicksilver is more comfortable staying with the Professor (who will become his mentor and ParentalSubstitute) than revealing to Lehnsherr that they're related. Xavier also shows an almost fatherly concern for Peter's safety during the battle against Apocalypse because Charles anxiously utters the young mutant's name when he's able to sense through his telepathy that Maximoff [[spoiler:has been seriously injured]].
* FriendlessBackground[=/=]LonelyRichKid: Since Raven is explicitly stated to be his oldest and only friend in ''Film/XMenFirstClass'', that means prior to their meeting in 1944, he had difficulty connecting with other children despite (or because of) growing up in the lap of luxury. ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'' elaborates on this a little further by revealing that Xavier was considered to be "crazy" in between the ages of 9 and 12 due to the voices in his head, and was therefore a social pariah among his peers.
* GeniusCripple: His mutation gives him one of the most powerful minds in the world, and he is confined to a wheelchair after the events of ''Film/XMenFirstClass''.
* GentlemanAndAScholar: He is well-educated and carries some characteristics of a QuintessentialBritishGentleman. ''Film/XMenFirstClass'' affirms that he's half-British through his mother, and she had raised him to behave and speak like a proper upper-class English gentleman.
* GentlemanSnarker: He has shades of this in ''Film/XMenFirstClass''. He's from an extremely wealthy family, attends Oxford and possesses an absolutely brilliant mind--but he prefers to use his mind-reading abilities and genius knowledge of genetics to seduce women, and seems more interested in drinking than helping mankind. Even when he starts the team, he still possesses a keen wit and sense of fun (which is not to say he is in any way flippant about his beliefs). Only towards the end, when [[spoiler:his friendship with Erik is destroyed and he is left paralyzed]], does he truly become the mentor and leader we would come to know and love.
* GlassCannon: He's basically the mutant equivalent of a SquishyWizard. His psychic abilities are unrivaled, but he's slight in stature, a NonActionGuy, and a spinal cord injury has turned him into a paraplegic.
* AGodAmI: Creator/BryanSinger [[http://ca.ign.com/articles/2016/05/02/x-menas-professor-x-is-christ-and-apocalypse-is-a-false-god acknowledges]] that Professor X "...could go inside Cerebro and rule the world, but he chooses not to." That being said, as much as he pushes for the equality of mutants and humans, Xavier is arrogant and he believes that he always knows what's best for someone and/or for the greater good, which leads to him occasionally abusing his psychic powers. (Also see FatalFlaw.) He has no qualms briefly taking away an individual's free will with his JediMindTricks or "borrowing" them as a PeoplePuppet, and he often reads the thoughts of others without asking for permission. Charles' ambition doesn't include turning the world into his personal playground, but his behaviour does prove that he "plays god" whenever the situation suits him.
* GoodFlawsBadFlaws:
** ''Film/XMenFirstClass'': Although the writers wanted to present him as a very different person when he was young man, they can't give him too many negative traits because the character is still the BigGood of the franchise, so one of his "good" flaws includes being a womanizer.
** ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'': His past self is no longer a cad like we saw in ''First Class'', but he has developed additional "good" flaws such as alcoholism, drug addiction, cynicism, and cussing. The guy is utterly messed up, but the writer was careful not to make the character too "bad" (Charles has to eventually become an AllLovingHero, after all).
* GoodSamaritan: In ''Film/XMenFirstClass'', as a kid, he generously offers food and a place to stay to a hungry and homeless young Raven.
* GoOutWithASmile: [[spoiler:In ''Film/XMenTheLastStand'', he gives Wolverine one last smile before he gets ''disintegrated''. This is made all the more [[TearJerker emotional]] because the last time the two really talked, they were arguing.]]
* GuileHero: Due to his inability to walk, he has to rely much more on his intellect than most mutants.
* HandicappedBadass: Confined to a wheelchair, although as ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'' and ''Film/XMenTheLastStand'' show, he is able to walk on his own, but it comes at the loss of his powers.
* TheHeart: He is this in ''Film/XMenFirstClass'' and in all the team films to a lesser extent.
* HellBentForLeather: He owns a brown leather jacket in 1973.
* HeroicBSOD: What he has been in since the [[BreakTheCutie end]] of ''Film/XMenFirstClass''. A lot has happened in the TimeSkip between ''Film/XMenFirstClass'' and ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', resulting in the deaths of most of the characters from ''Film/XMenFirstClass'' who don't appear here. It's also stated that Charles lost many of his students and teachers to conscription and the Vietnam War, effectively closing down his newly budding school.
* HeroicBystander: In ''Film/XMenFirstClass'', when he realizes that no one on the US Coast Guard vessel is willing to help Erik, he dives into the dark, frigid ocean without hesitation to save the life of a drowning stranger.
* HeterosexualLifePartners:
** ''Film/XMenFirstClass'': Considering that his and Erik's friendship only lasted a few months, it was unusually intimate on an emotional level.
** ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'':
*** Played straight with his older self and the elderly Magneto (the moment where they're holding hands is the closest that we've seen them since ''First Class''), but averted with their younger selves. In 1973, he never once calls Erik "friend" (although the latter uses the endearment twice), which goes to show how broken their relationship is.
*** He and Hank are each other's OnlyFriend for a decade, so it's inevitable that they would develop a very close bond. There are moments of non-verbal (and non-telepathic) communication between the two men, like when Xavier gently taps Beast on the chest after he mutters to Logan, "I think I'd like to wake up now." [=McCoy=] immediately understands that the gesture means, "You can calm down now, our visitor is not a threat," and he reverts back to his human form.
** ''Film/XMenApocalypse'': He and Hank retain their close friendship from ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', and it's a lot healthier now because [=McCoy=] is no longer Xavier's enabler, and they've ceased to be co-dependent. They also behave more like peers, as Hank is a teacher, and he has grown out of being needy of his former mentor's approval.
* HideYourOtherness: Fearful of humanity's negative reaction to mutants, he firmly lives by this philosophy.
* HotScientist: As a geneticist, he's a rare male version of the trope in ''Film/XMenFirstClass''. He shamelessly uses his charm, good looks and expertise in his chosen field to pick up women at Oxford.
* HotTeacher: In ''Film/XMenApocalypse'', he apparently thinks it's okay for him to wear a white shirt which is [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CfnMzOdUEAE5638.jpg:large partially semi-transparent]] while teaching a class filled with hormonal teenagers. It's the first time in the franchise where his character is mildly objectified, and it's a progression from his HotScientist days in ''Film/XMenFirstClass''.
* HurtingHero: In ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', his younger self has completely fallen apart at the seams, haunted by the hardships he had suffered during the Cuban Missile Crisis and losing most of his students and staff to the UsefulNotes/VietnamWar.
* IAmVeryBritish: ''Film/XMenFirstClass'' explains why Xavier (who is American in the comics) has a Received Pronunciation accent. He is half-British, half-American,[[note]]his American descent is confirmed in ''Film/XMenApocalypse'' when he mentions his grandfather planting a tree on the Westchester estate[[/note]] and his speech pattern was influenced by his posh English mother. It was later reinforced when he studied at the University of Oxford.
* IconicOutfit: His trademark outfit is a very distinguished three-piece suit, which is a more serious-looking variation of his tweed-preppy look in ''Film/XMenFirstClass''.
* IdleRich: In between 1963 and 1973, he hasn't done anything the least bit productive; he is a reclusive alcoholic who wallows in self-pity within his BigFancyHouse.
* InLoveWithYourCarnage: It's a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment from ''Film/XMenFirstClass'', but his face [[http://38.media.tumblr.com/6185ebd8dd015a24c6390df7581bffe8/tumblr_n8rn093N6P1qii9kuo1_250.gif glows with delight]] when he witnesses Erik using the anchor of Shaw's boat as a destructive tool.
* InnocentBlueEyes:
** ''Film/XMenFirstClass'': His bright blue irises represent his goodness and naïvety. After the [[BreakTheCutie events of the film]], he is still as idealistic, but has been rather blind-sided by reality, and is much more cautious and reserved.
** ''Film/XMenApocalypse'': Since this movie partly recycles his arc from ''First Class'', his radiant blue eyes are once more a symbol of him being too optimistic for his own good.
* InTouchWithHisFeminineSide: He scores high on androgynous personality traits because he possesses qualities from all of this trope's five broad categories: Lack of Athleticism (especially after he becomes wheelchair-bound), Lack of Aggression (he prefers negotiation over violence to resolve problems), An Open, Emotional Personality (he's the epitome of a Sensitive Guy), Typically Feminine Interests (he's a teacher, which is considered to be a "nurturing" profession), and Effeminate or Non-Masculine Appearance (he's a shorter-than-average PrettyBoy). In ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'' and ''Film/XMenApocalypse'', his shirts are pink and lilac respectively; they are not considered to be masculine colours, and they reflect his androgynous temperament.
* IWasQuiteALooker: He was [[PrettyBoy boyishly beautiful]] during his youth with thick, wavy hair (not that he looks bad as a [[GrandpaWhatMassiveHotnessYouHave bald, older gentleman]]).
* JadeColoredGlasses: For ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', Creator/JamesMcAvoy observes in the "Double Take: Xavier & Magneto" featurette that his character's experience with Erik in ''First Class'' had crushed Charles' [[WideEyedIdealist rose-coloured glasses]].
-->"Erik challenged his world view so much, and then violently took away not just the ability to walk, but also his belief in other people a little bit."
* JediMindTrick: He employs this "magic trick" on [[Film/XMenFirstClass the Man in Black]] and a [[Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast security guard at the White House]] so that he and his allies can reach their destination without any additional hindrance.
* TheLeader: He's primarily the Charismatic type. He's TheHeart of the X-Men; the love, admiration and respect that his students and friends feel for him are what mainly holds the team together.
* LikeBrotherAndSister:
** ''Film/XMenFirstClass'': Charles and Raven grew up together as foster siblings for 18 years, and he introduces her as his sister to Amy. He later cites this when Raven, feeling insecure about her looks, asks if he would date her... although it falls a little flat coming right after he's answered the question with "of course" in reference to her human form, before she clarifies that she means in her real form.
** ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'': Lampshaded by his older self when he mentions that Mystique was like a sister to him. It's later alluded to when a nurse wonders if the blue, scaly woman at the Paris Peace Accords has a family, and Raven replies, "Yes, she does."
*** On the plane ride to Paris, he argues that he raised Raven to be something better than a killer. Erik is quick to point out that Charles didn't ''raise'' Raven, they grew up together. This is what it takes for him to realize that Raven is not his to control.
* LivingEmotionalCrutch: In ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', he is this to the approval-seeking Hank, who has voluntarily suppressed his individuality (i.e. he has no career, hobby, or social life) just to attend to Xavier's needs 24/7, and is thus defining himself exclusively through his dutiful service to his ex-mentor.
* LooksLikeJesus: In ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', his younger self not only sports longer hair and a BeardOfSorrow, but he ultimately becomes an AllLovingHero at the movie's climax.
* ManChild: His past self in ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'' rejects ''all'' adult responsibilities, and [=McCoy=] has to look after him.
* ManipulativeBastard: Hinted in ''Film/X2XMenUnited'' and ''Film/XMenTheLastStand'', where Magneto and the Phoenix suggest Xavier has been doing whatever he can to keep Logan at the school. Magneto even directly asks him this, something Charles never directly refutes, instead changing the topic.
-->'''Professor X:''' I've put him on the path. Logan's mind is still fragile.
-->'''Magneto:''' Is it? Or are you just afraid of losing one of your precious X-Men?
* ManlyTears: Twice in ''Film/XMenFirstClass'':
** Both he and Erik Lehnsherr in do this in a rather touching scene where the latter is learning to control his powers through something other than rage. By telepathically finding one of Erik's happiest childhood memories, Charles helps him to see that true focus lies between "rage and serenity." Cue the tears as they both experience a bittersweet memory of Erik's long-dead mother on welcoming in their Sabbath.
** After he [[spoiler:gets shot]], there is a particularly heartbreaking moment when he has to tell Erik that no, they do not want the same things when it comes to mutants and humans. Cue the ManlyTears on his part. [[spoiler:It's an indicator of how the two men have grown apart that Erik's face just blanks of emotion in response.]]
* MasculineGirlFeminineBoy: A foster siblings variation with Raven and Charles in ''Film/XMenApocalypse''. Both are mutant activists, but they use different approaches when saving the world one mutant life at a time--the sister is more "active" and the brother is more "passive." Mystique is a forthright ActionGirl who travels around the globe and regularly employs violence to free mutants who are in physical danger. Professor Xavier, on the other hand, is a sweet NonActionGuy who remains at his home/school and coaches his mutant students on how to master their inherently hazardous abilities so that they're no longer a threat to themselves or to others.
* MeaningfulName: His middle name and surname form the name of a saint (Francis Xavier), so they hint at the character's "saintly" personality.
* MentorOccupationalHazard: [[spoiler:In ''Film/XMenTheLastStand.'']]
* MessianicArchetype: His role in the movie-verse is somewhat reminiscent of Christ. Professor X is an AllLovingHero who suffers greatly to be a savior of mutants and humans alike, even though the latter persecute him. He is the leader of his TrueCompanions, who live by and defend his philosophy, and he is betrayed by one his followers.[[note]]Magneto is regarded as an Obvious Judas by the fandom.[[/note]] Charles is [[spoiler:''literally'' resurrected in TheStinger of]] ''Film/XMenTheLastStand''. This association also extends to imagery, where he takes Jesus' position in a PietaPlagiarism (''Film/XMenFirstClass''), is briefly given a BackgroundHalo and a CrucifiedHeroShot (''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast''). When he has a beard and lets his hair grow long, he even LooksLikeJesus. For ''Film/XMenApocalypse'' (which deals directly with religious themes), Creator/BryanSinger has made a reference to a figurative resurrection in [[https://www.instagram.com/p/2cNOOLxDxE/ this snapshot]] by calling it "Xavier reborn." The director explicitly says that [[http://ca.ign.com/articles/2016/05/02/x-menas-professor-x-is-christ-and-apocalypse-is-a-false-god Professor X is analogous to Christ]] in the franchise.
-->"I've gotten to explore Professor X when he was an older, bald, wise man, when he's insecure, when he's defenseless, when he's powerful. He's more of a Christ figure. He chooses to be a teacher. He could go inside Cerebro and rule the world, but he chooses not to. He chooses to teach and preach and hope that people follow his message: peace and unity. And I've gotten to see him as a drug addict and a loser, and in this movie, you're going to get to see him prosperous and almost blindly optimistic, and how he changes."
* MessOfWoe: In 1973, his neglect of his mansion is a reflection of how utterly forlorn he is. His bedroom and study are extremely cluttered, plus the grass on his estate is overgrown. Hank does his best to clean up some of the mess that Xavier carelessly leaves behind (at one point we see [=McCoy=] picking up empty liquor bottles).
* MessyHair: His 1973 self doesn't bother with grooming because he's too depressed to care.
* MindManipulation: He can control or manipulate the minds of several other people.
* MindOverManners: ''Film/XMenFirstClass'' presented a much younger, less disciplined Xavier had no problem using his powers on anyone whenever it was convenient for him. That being said, he did promise Raven that he wouldn't read her mind, and he did ask for Erik's permission before searching for the brightest corner of his friend's memory system.
* NerdsAreSexy: In ''Film/XMenFirstClass'', he has mastered the art of transforming his knowledge of genetics into successful flirtation methods.
* NiceGuy: He opens his heart and his home to mutants who feel persecuted by the outside world.
-->'''Logan''': There's not many people that will understand what you're going through, but I think this guy Xavier is one of them. He seems to genuinely want to help you, and that's a rare thing for people like us.
* NobodyTouchesTheHair: In ''Film/XMenFirstClass'', he's about to test the Cerebro prototype for the first time, and [=McCoy=] struggles with fitting the electrodes on his head.
-->'''Hank''': Are you sure we can't shave your head?\\
'''Charles''': ''(annoyed)'' Don't touch my hair.
* NonActionGuy: His 1973 self invokes this trope to explain to Logan why he always tries to talk his way out of a problem (even if it results in ineffective rambling) instead using brute force. However, Xavier can still throw a mean punch if someone ''really pisses him off'' despite not being much of a fighter.
* NonIdleRich: In ''Film/XMenFirstClass'', he could live off his inheritance if he wished, but he's passionate about science, and his career goal before he is approached by the CIA is to become a professor of genetics.
* ObiWanMoment: [[spoiler:While fighting the Phoenix in ''Film/XMenTheLastStand'', he briefly smiles at Wolverine before being disintegrated. At the [[AfterTheCredits very end]] of the movie, it turns out he's NotQuiteDead.]]
* ObliviousToLove: He doesn't notice that Raven harbours some non-sisterly feelings towards him in ''Film/XMenFirstClass''.
* OlderThanTheyLook: For ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2mi74MLHg4 Honest Trailers]] made the mistake of describing [=McAvoy=]'s character as a "young man," a term usually reserved for males who are under 30; Xavier is in his late thirties/early forties in 1973, but it's easy to forget that because the actor appears younger than his actual age.
* OldMoney:
** ''Film/XMenFirstClass'': He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. He lives in a very BigFancyHouse, there are servants (a maid is mentioned), and his mother is a snobby British {{Socialite}} who thinks so highly of herself that she never enters the kitchen of her own home. Charles' taste in material goods is often expressed in classic, SimpleYetOpulent ways, in contrast to the gaudy ConspicuousConsumption that we normally associate with the NouveauRiche.
** ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'': His past self can afford not to work for a decade because he can simply mooch off his inherited wealth. The Xavier family crest on the tail of his personal plane, his plane's elegantly decorated interior, and even the design of the chess set he brings along for the trip are a visual cue to the audience that he is this trope, and not the tacky (or so the stereotype goes) NouveauRiche.
* OnlyFriend:
** ''Film/XMenFirstClass'':
*** Near the beginning of the film, Raven points out to Charles that she is his only friend. Presumably an affable fellow like Xavier would have numerous acquaintances, but his sister figure is only person he fully trusts.
*** He becomes this to Erik.
** ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'': To Hank in between 1963 and 1973. [=McCoy=] doesn't seem to have a social circle, as he has taken it upon himself to be Charles' caretaker, which appears to be something of a full-time job.
* {{Oxbridge}}: In ''Film/XMenFirstClass'', the University of Oxford is his alma mater, and there are several Oxford scenes shot on location. It is clear, however, that the writers did not do their research properly, as his claim that you don't get to be called a professor unless you have a teaching position is utterly untrue. A professor at a UK university is not the same thing as a professor at a US university, and at Oxford in particular, professors frequently do little to no teaching. Someone in his position would either be a Junior Research Fellow or, if so elected by his college, a Don.
* PaletteSwap: ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'' costume designer Louise Mingenbach described [[http://www.gq.com/entertainment/fashion/201405/x-men-days-of-future-past-costumes#slide=2 Past Xavier's switch from his brown-and-pink casual wear to his more formal blues and greys]] that is typically associated with the character in the other movies.
--> "At the beginning of the film, Charles is medicating, and very possibly on hallucinogens, so we had that come through in his shirt. As he pulls himself together, he wears a nice blue oxford like all good, put-together men—a progression from that psychedelic Cat Stevens-wear."
* ParentalNeglect: In ''Film/XMenFirstClass'', his mother is hinted to be emotionally distant towards her son, which is why Raven's maternal act backfires spectacularly.
-->'''Charles''': ''(telepathically communicates to Raven disguised as Mrs. Xavier)'' My mother has never set foot in this kitchen in her life, and she certainly never made me hot chocolate, unless you count ordering the maid to do it.
* ParentalSubstitute:
** He plays this role to all of the X-Men, but it's most notable in ''Film/XMenFirstClass'' with a young Hank and the teenaged Alex and Sean, all of whom remain loyal to him before and after Cuba. [[spoiler:The mere mention of Sean's death in ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'' makes Charles visibly distraught, which is in direct contrast to all of the other names that Erik throws at him.]] Being a father figure to Jean and Scott is explored in more detail in ''Film/XMenApocalypse''.
** There is one exception. In ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', Charles invokes this trope when he claims that he raised Raven, but Erik corrects him--they ''grew up'' together. He is not her father. [[spoiler:This ties into the end of the film, when he stops trying to control her and lets her make her own choice]].
** Downplayed in the scene where his 1973 self interacts with Peter Maximoff before the former departs for Paris. Charles instinctually behaves in a paternal manner when he's around a young mutant, especially one who doesn't have much of a direction in his life (in Quicksilver's case, he's a juvenile delinquent who grew up without a father). Peter's smile at the end indicates that he appreciates the sentiment.
* PatrickStewartSpeech: Given [[Creator/PatrickStewart who plays him]], not surprising. Given who he ''is'', also not surprising. Xavier's core message requires having such a speech at hand and ready to give at a moment's notice (as true here as it was in the source material). The capacity to give such a speech is the only thing that he and Magneto are feuding over.
** In ''Film/XMenFirstClass'', where he is played by Creator/JamesMcAvoy, he gives such a speech to Erik Lehnsherr. During their chess game, he attempts to convince Erik that human beings are capable of great understanding, and that mutants should be patient, as "we have it in us to be the better men." Erik skeptically replies, "We already are."
* PermaStubble: In ''Film/XMenApocalypse'', he has faint stubble instead of being clean-shaven (which is his regular look in the franchise), and it conveys to the audience that he hasn't fully reclaimed his heroic Professor X identity. He's a relaxed, content principal, teacher, and low-key mutant activist, not a commander of a paramilitary group like in ''Film/XMenFirstClass''. He gets rid of the extra facial hair once he decides that it's necessary for him to step up his role as a leader of mutants. Xavier's stubble is also a ShoutOut to Detective James "Sonny" Crockett from ''Series/MiamiVice''.[[note]]Charles' costumes were directly inspired by the character on the TV show.[[/note]]
* PersonOfMassDestruction: As demonstrated in ''Film/X2XMenUnited'', he can kill everyone on the planet with Cerebro if he concentrates hard enough.
* PlayingGertrude: During the filming of ''Film/XMenApocalypse'', Creator/JamesMcAvoy was 36 years old, but his character is in his late forties/early fifties in 1983.
* PowerAtAPrice: Inverted in ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast''. A serum that allows him to regain the use of his legs instead nullifies his powers. He behaves like a drug addict while on it, and one of the film's major themes involves Charles' accepting his paraplegia and learning how to overcome it in a non-destructive way while also retaining his mutant telepathy.
* PowerPerversionPotential: In ''Film/XMenFirstClass'', he uses his powers to "guess" the drink orders of the women he flirts with. Executive producer Tarquin Pack lampshades this specific example in the rare "Extraordinary Abilities" featurette.
-->"If I had the ability to read minds, and I was at university, and I could influence people through my mental powers, I would probably also be a bit of a Lothario. ''(laughs)'' Who wouldn't be?"
* PrematurelyBald: Averted; the First Class trilogy reveals that he doesn't lose his hair until he's around 50 years old.
* PretentiousLatinMotto: If you do a FreezeFrameBonus on the Xavier coat of arms, located on the tail of Charles' personal plane in ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', the family motto reads, "Fratrem tuum adjuva," which means "Help your brother." Not only does this fit Professor X's compassionate personality to a tee, but it also suggests that his OldMoney ancestors on his father's side were philanthropists. Assisting those who are less fortunate must have been regarded as a sacred duty, as those Latin words supposedly designate what the Xavier family values the most.

** ''Film/XMenFirstClass'': Appearance-wise, he is strongly defined by his boyishness: he has a soft, round face, baby blue eyes, cherry-red lips (the colour is so deep at times that it almost looks like he's wearing lipstick), and is of shorter-than-average height. It's symbolic of his sensitive, nice guy qualities. Erik even calls him "adorable" when Charles tries the Cerebro machine for the first time. With his fair complexion, the young telepath resembles a living porcelain doll, and his [[GlassCannon fragility]] becomes evident when he "[[BreakTheCutie breaks]]" physically and emotionally during the climax.
** ''Film/XMenApocalypse'': He's around 50 years old, yet before he loses his hair, he's still gorgeous and youthful-looking for his age (he can pass for a man in his early 30s)--in fact, he doesn't appear all that different from his graduate student days in ''First Class''. This alludes to him embracing his former naïvety again, and it makes him look much more [[BreakTheCutie helpless and vulnerable]] when he becomes Apocalypse's prisoner.
* TheProfessor: He [[Film/XMenFirstClass earned his "Professor of Genetics" title from the University of Oxford]]. Even before he became a paraplegic, he was considerably less action-oriented than the other mutants on his team, and is often protected by a combatant (e.g. [[Film/X2XMenUnited Cyclops]], [[Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast Beast]]). Professor X serves as the TeamDad for the X-Men.
* PstandardPsychicPstance: He had frequently used this gesture as a crutch when he was younger, but he lets go of the habit in his elderly years.
* PsychicPowers: Kitty Pryde describes him as "the most powerful brain in the world." Sebastian Shaw is so impressed by the strength of Xavier's telepathy that he tries to recruit Charles even though Shaw already has a formidable psychic as his second-in-command. (This indicates that Shaw considers Xavier's mutation to be more potent than Emma Frost's.) Professor X's gift is why [[spoiler:Apocalypse covets his abilities, and selects him to be his next mutant host]].
* PsychicRadar: He can detect people around himself, amplified greatly with Cerebro to find almost anyone in the world. In ''Film/X2XMenUnited'', he uses it to track a mutant who can teleport, and it's further revealed that he can use it to sense the location of every mutant or every human on the planet. Concentrating hard enough will give them all a really serious PsychicNosebleed... followed by death.
* RedOniBlueOni: In ''Film/XMenFirstClass'', he is more level-headed while Erik is rather hot-headed. [[http://roashina.files.wordpress.com/2011/03/x-men-first-class-magazine.jpg ''Empire'' magazine even colour-coded the front covers of their May 2011 issue accordingly.]]
* RefugeInAudacity: He is ''very'' confident about his ability to seduce women.
-->'''Charles''': Heterochromia was in reference to your eyes, which I have to say are ''stunning''. One green, one blue. It's a mutation, it's a very groovy mutation. I've got news for you, Amy. You are a mutant.\\
'''Amy''': First you proposition a girl, and then you call her deformed. How is that seduction technique working for you?\\
'''Charles''': I'll tell you in the morning.
* RuleOfSexy:
** Most (if not all) fans expected the young Professor X to be bald in ''Film/XMenFirstClass'', but the studio wanted Creator/JamesMcAvoy to [[http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/x-men-star-james-mcavoy-705595 keep his hair]] in order to retain the actor's sex appeal.
--->'''James [=McAvoy=]''': I had showed up on the first day of ''X-Men: First Class'', and I had shaved my head because I wanted to check what it looked like about a month before we started shooting--and it looked quite good--and they were like, "No, no, no, no, we want you to have long hair."
** In the March 2014 issue of ''Empire'' magazine, the actor states that he was more than willing to get rid of his luxurious locks for ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', but once again the producers nixed the idea.
--->'''James [=McAvoy=]''': I wanted to go bald in this one, [...] but they didn't go for it. I was gutted.
** He retains his thick, wavy mane for part of ''Film/XMenApocalypse'' instead of being bald for its entirety. {{Justified}} in this case because Xavier didn't display any signs of male-pattern baldness in ''Days of Future Past'', so the hair loss which occurs later on is not natural. Moreover, Charles is pushing 50 in 1983, yet the actor was not given any ageing make-up, and there is very little grey in his hair. He should appear at least 30 years older than Jean Grey and Scott Summers, but Creator/JamesMcAvoy's youthful features make him look like he's only about 15 years their senior.
* SeeingThroughAnothersEyes: His telepathy allows him to perceive an event through the eyes of another person.
** ''Film/XMen1'': He uses his psychic ability to experience Senator Kelly's memory of being exposed to Magneto's machine.
** ''Film/XMenFirstClass'': He can "eavesdrop" on a conversation that Emma Frost has with a Soviet general by telepathically [[PeoplePuppets inhabiting a nearby soldier]].
** ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'': His past self is able to figure out where Raven is heading because when he had temporarily "possessed" a stewardess who had bumped into his foster sister, the stewardess had picked up Raven's plane ticket from the floor, and he can read its contents from the stewardess' field of vision. In ''The Rogue Cut'', his future self can view the mansion through Magneto's and Iceman's minds, and he gives them instructions as they walk in hidden passageways towards the Cerebro room.
* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan:
** ''Film/XMenFirstClass'': He is the Sensitive Guy to Erik Lehnsherr's Manly Man. They display this dynamic in their personalities (AllLovingHero vs. AntiHero) and physique (PrettyBoy vs. TallDarkAndHandsome) as well as their philosophies and methods (WideEyedIdealist vs. PayEvilUntoEvil).
** ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'': His younger self in 1973 is more accurately an Overly Sensitive Guy with Wolverine in the Manly Man role. Logan has to act as the "glue" which barely holds the emotionally fragile Xavier together in order to complete their mission. Their opposite natures are most directly contrasted in the Pentagon kitchen scene, where Charles attempts to persuade the guards that he and his partner have a valid reason to be there, while Wolverine just knocks them out with a frying pan.
* SharpDressedMan: In ''Film/XMenFirstClass'' and in his elderly years, he's always well-dressed as befitting a professor and principal. Costume designer Louise Mingenbach refers to Professor X as "Mr. Fancy Pants" in the "United Colors of X" featurette on the ''Film/X2XMenUnited'' DVD, and Sammy Sheldon has stated in the "Suiting Up" documentary on the ''First Class'' Blu-Ray that she made Charles' attire as stylish as she could while keeping him "honest, real, studious." On the "Two Worlds, Two Battles" segment of ''The Rogue Cut'', Creator/PatrickStewart says that his character "has been seen as something of a peacock over all these years. Quite exotic-looking suits."
** ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'': Averted with both his past and future selves. The former is clothed like a hippie or a vagrant, and the latter is only seen in battle gear. [[spoiler:However, in the AlternateTimeline, his elderly self continues to don his traditional three-piece suit.]]
** ''Film/XMenApocalypse'': Played with. His ''Series/MiamiVice''-inspired wardrobe is relatively casual compared to the more formal suits that were iconic to his character in the original trilogy (and ''Film/XMenFirstClass'' to a lesser extent). However, he adopts his classic look after he loses his hair.
* SiblingYinYang:
** ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'': Eleven years after ''Film/XMenFirstClass'', he and Raven have not only become estranged, but also polar opposites in almost every way, especially in regards to ideology and diplomacy. Her [[spoiler:sparing of Trask and the president shows that she isn't quite as far gone]] as originally believed, though.
** ''Film/XMenApocalypse'': Although he and Raven are on better terms than in ''Days of Future Past'', they still strongly disagree over how humans in general treat mutants. He believes the world is gradually becoming more tolerant of their kind, but she has seen with her own eyes that there's still a lot of oppression. [[http://www.denofgeek.us/movies/x-men/254859/x-men-apocalypse-trailer-3-analysis-15-things-we-learned This article]] uses the metaphor of Xavier being a peaceful [[NonActionGuy dove]] and Mystique is an aggressive [[ActionGirl hawk]].
--->'''Charles''': [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8FeG41pNZq8 I have plans for this place.]] I mean to turn it into a real campus, a university. Not just for mutants, either; for humans, too. Living and working, growing together.\\
'''Raven''': You know, I really believed that once. I really believed we can change them.\\
'''Charles''': We did.\\
'''Raven''': Just because there's not a war, doesn't mean there's peace. You wanna teach your kids something, teach them that, teach them to fight, otherwise they might as well live in this house for the rest of their lives.
* SignificantWardrobeShift: His attire before and after his encounter with [[Film/XMenApocalypse Apocalypse]] is quite different, and it illustrates a major change in his worldview. He begins with laid-back, '80s-influenced apparel, and he then switches to a conservative, SimpleYetOpulent suit. Charles is naïve at first, but his optimism is later tempered by realism.
* SingleTear:
** ''Film/X2XMenUnited'': He sheds a single tear of joy when he's able to stand again on his own--but then he quickly realizes that he's in a LotusEaterMachine and tries to resist Jason's ability.
** ''Film/XMenFirstClass'' :
*** He wipes a single tear from his cheek after he uncovers a happy memory from Erik's childhood involving the latter's mother with his telepathy. Despite living a much more comfortable and privileged life than his friend, the one beautiful thing that Charles never got to experience is a mother's warm affection.
*** After [[spoiler:he gets shot]], he only sheds one noticeable tear which is partly because of [[spoiler:his injury]], but mostly because he is forced to tell Erik that [[spoiler:no, they really do not want the same thing, and knows that this realisation will push his friend away for good.]]
* SmartPeopleSpeakTheQueensEnglish: [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] in his case because he is half-British through his mother's side, and his posh accent was further refined after living for several years in Oxford, England, where he had earned his doctorate in genetics.
* SophisticatedAsHell: His younger self specifically fulfills the "A normally formal character resorting to profanity due to intense circumstances" example in ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast''. This is the first movie where the otherwise polite and erudite Charles uses coarse language such as "fuck" and "shite."
* StoryBreakerPower: His power is such that most of the movies would be over very, very quickly if he did not frequently get incapacitated or rendered powerless in some way.
* SuperpowerLottery: See StoryBreakerPower above. He's one of the most powerful fictional psychic characters, and while he's not telekinetic, his ability to rewrite minds[[note]]which he threatened Logan with[[/note]] and hijack any person he wants make telekinesis seem like child's play.
* SuperWheelchair: In ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', his elderly self has a wheelchair that hovers.
* TeamDad:
** ''Film/XMenTheLastStand'': Best shown [[spoiler:during his funeral, where a massive amount of his students cried during it. His tombstone reads, "Father, Teacher, Friend"]], and naturally "Father" is listed first because he was viewed by the youngsters (especially those who are orphans or have been disowned by their families) as primarily a paternal figure.
** ''Film/XMenFirstClass'': He might qualify, but he tends to act more like the nurturing TeamMom, with Erik as the "tough love" TeamDad (Sean Cassidy learned this the hard way). Insert witty commentary [[HoYay here]].
** ''Film/XMenApocalypse'': Creator/JamesMcAvoy stresses in the June 2016 issue of ''F***'' magazine that Professor X, for all of his kindness and altruism, has a profound psychological need to be the "king of the castle," so to speak. Xavier genuinely loves his friends and his students and he cares deeply about them, but it's also very important to him to hold a certain amount of authority over them.
--->'''[=McAvoy=]''': That's partly why he's building a school and he wants that family that he never really had, and he wants to be the father. He's got that slight... he's a good man, but he's got a little bit of a god complex as well. He wants to be at the head of the table. It's a good thing, but it's his flaw as well.
* {{Telepathy}}: He can read minds and freeze entire groups of people in place.
* TenderTears: A huge part of his younger self's character development in ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'' is centered around his huge capacity for empathy, and how he needs to learn to move past his own pain for the benefit of others, so he spends a good percentage of the film either on the verge of tears or outright crying.
* ThatManIsDead: When Hank tells Logan that "the Professor isn't here," Xavier is still living in his estate, only he has lost his powers and the will to lead mutants, thus dissociating himself from his identity as Professor X.
* TheyreCalledPersonalIssuesForAReason: In ''Film/XMenFirstClass'', there's a hint that he had an unhappy childhood, but he simply chooses not to speak of it. After Erik makes a snide remark about his friend's wealth, Charles' expression is a mixture of annoyance with a little bit of hurt, and Raven steps in between two men as if to "shield" her brother from Erik's not-so-nice comment. Although she says, "It was a hardship softened by me" in a light tone, there is no sarcasm in her voice, and Charles kisses her on the cheek as a quiet "thank you" for her support and understanding in what is a very sensitive matter to him.
* TimeShiftedActor: He has been portrayed by three actors in three different stages of his life.
* TraumaticHaircut: He loses his hair due to a psychic trauma inflicted upon him by [[Film/XMenApocalypse Apocalypse]].
* {{Troll}}: His introduction in the first film has him telepathically guiding an anxious Logan through the mansion to his office, where he greets him with a simple "Good morning, Logan."
* UnclePennybags: He is filthy rich and is a gentle, caring person; he's certainly the most altruistic character in the franchise.
** ''Film/XMen1'': He mentions that most of his students were runaways, so his school isn't just a centre for education, but also a safe haven for a lot of the youngsters who don't have a home.
** ''Film/XMenFirstClass'': His generous nature is alluded to in this exchange:
--->'''Sean Cassidy''': ''(in awe of Xavier's mansion)'' This is yours.\\
'''Charles''': ''(smiles)'' No, it's ours.
* UnkemptBeauty: In 1973, his appearance is rather sloppy and disheveled, especially in comparison to the other movies, yet he is still an attractive man. This was done on purpose by the filmmakers (see his RuleOfSexy entry), and it conveniently evokes the LooksLikeJesus trope, as Christ is often depicted as being handsome in art.
* VanityIsFeminine: Downplayed, as his habit of always being [[AgentPeacock dapper]] isn't treated as a negative trait InUniverse. However, the attention he pays to his appearance does subtly distinguish his brand of [[InTouchWithHisFeminineSide androgynous masculinity]] from the other two male leads in the franchise (namely the macho Wolverine and the manly Magneto).
* VillainOverride: Inverted because he's a heroic character. He can hijack people's bodies, and unless they're another psychic or using a PsychicBlockDefense, none has been shown to be able to resist. When using [[AmplifierArtifact Cerebro]], he can hijack anyone across the globe as he sees fit.
* WaistcoatOfStyle: He frequently wears one with his elegant suits, and it adds a little extra flair to his aura of academic professionalism while also being an indicator of his upper-class status.
** ''Film/XMenFirstClass'': His waistcoats as a graduate student and as a newly minted professor of genetics are a touch less formal than in the original trilogy. This subtly conveys to viewers that Charles was more relaxed and carefree during his youth.
** ''Film/XMenApocalypse'': Creator/JamesMcAvoy's Professor X hasn't been seen in one since ''First Class'', and the vest he has near the end of film is more polished-looking than the tweed-preppy style of his Oxford days, which signifies that he's now embodying Creator/PatrickStewart's character.
* WhatBeautifulEyes:
** ''Film/XMenFirstClass'': After he is [[spoiler:shot in the spine]], the glare of the Cuban sunshine shrinks his pupils, which makes his irises appear very large, and they are a ''stunning'' shade of vibrant blue, especially in close-up. His InnocentBlueEyes are shiny and wet with tears due to the intense physical and emotional pain, and it marks the character's BreakTheCutie moment.
** ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'': His 1973 self collapses after the serum wears off, and there are a few close-ups of his eyes. The colour of his irises is quite vivid, and they fully express his mental anguish and vulnerability in that scene. It's a stark contrast from his hopeful and confident InnocentBlueEyes in ''First Class''.
* WhatTheHellHero: His younger self is one the receiving end of this twice in ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast''.
** Young Magneto goes into an outburst about how [[spoiler:fellow mutants were being killed left and right while he has been in hiding with Hank.]]
--->'''Erik:''' [[spoiler:Angel, Azazel, Emma, Banshee. Mutant brothers and sisters, all dead! Countless others, experimented on! Butchered! Where were you, Charles?! We were supposed to protect them! Where were you when your own people needed you?! Hiding! You and Hank! Pretending to be something you're not! You abandoned us all!]]
** Before that, Logan calls him a little shit for his cavalier attitude about the future.
* WideEyedIdealist:
** ''Film/XMenFirstClass'': While he isn't exactly naïve, his idealism is accentuated by the fact that everyone else seems to have a far more pessimistic approach to mutant-human relations. It's suggested that this is at least partly because he hasn't faced persecution in the same way. It sets up a nice contrast with his portrayal in the previous films, where he remains idealistic, but is a lot more cautious about it now that he's had personal experience.
** ''Film/XMenApocalypse'': He has regained most of his cheery optimism from ''First Class'', and WordOfGod even says that he has [[http://collider.com/x-men-apocalypse-news-things-to-know/ too much hope]] at the beginning of the story.
* {{Wimpification}}: Thanks to being played by the [[PrettyBoy very pretty]] Creator/JamesMcAvoy in ''Film/XMenFirstClass'', he more often than not plays {{Uke}} to [[TallDarkAndHandsome Erik Lehnsherr]] in FanFics.
* WrongGenreSavvy: In ''Film/XMenFirstClass'', he seems to think he's in a [[UsefulNotes/TheSilverAgeOfComicBooks Silver Age]] ScienceFiction story that will easily be resolved once he and his friends defeat [[BigBad Shaw]]. Actually, he's part of a larger conflict between humans and mutants, and he and his [[ComicBook/{{Magneto}} best friend]] are destined to become [[FriendlyEnemy reluctant arch-enemies]] in the oncoming war.

[[folder:Erik Lehnsherr / Magneto]]
A Holocaust survivor, he and Xavier were once friends. However, his belief that humans and mutants could never co-exist led to their separation, although he's willing to ally with the X-Men whenever they have [[EnemyMine mutual enemy]] as seen in ''Film/X2XMenUnited''. In ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', he rejoins the X-Men and co-leads the team along with his old friend Charles.

For more about him, see Characters/XMenFilmSeriesBrotherhood.

[[folder:Raven Darkholme / Mystique]]
Abandoned by her parents, Raven Darkholme met a young Charles Xavier when she broke into his family's Westchester mansion to steal food. She took the form of his mother to try and fool the boy, but he saw past the ruse. Thrilled at the fact that he wasn't the only one who was "different" in the world, he offered to let Raven stay and live with him and his family, which she happily accepted.

Years later, Raven followed Charles to England (posing as his sister) and worked as a waitress while he studied genetics at Oxford. She constantly had to hide her true appearance, which began to put a strain on their relationship. This caused her to follow Magneto (who accepted her ''true'' appearance) when Xavier and Magneto parted ways. However, she still regrets abandoning her foster brother.

In the AlternateTimeline, Raven and Charles reconcile, and she becomes his NumberTwo within the X-Men.

For more about her, see Characters/XMenFilmSeriesBrotherhood.

[[folder:Dr. Henry "Hank" [=McCoy=] / Beast]]

[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/beast_older_xmen_films_4702.jpg]]

[[caption-width-right:300:''"Robert Louis Stevenson; Jekyll and Hyde."'']]
->'''Played By''': Creator/NicholasHoult, Creator/KelseyGrammer & Steve Bacic
->'''Film Appearances''': ''Film/X2XMenUnited | Film/XMenTheLastStand | Film/XMenFirstClass | Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast | Film/XMenApocalypse''

->''"[[BadassBoast My boy, I have been fighting for mutant rights since before you had claws.]]"''

A close friend of Charles Xavier and a co-founder of the X-Men. A brilliant scientist, Beast's mutation leads him to be covered in blue fur and have heightened strength and agility. He develops the technology that the team requires to carry out missions.

* AcePilot: Is shown to be a very skilled pilot in the First Class trilogy.
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: In the comics, his original (human) form included oversized hands and feet. In ''Film/XMenFirstClass'', while his feet are different than normal, they are still the right size and he has no problem passing for an ordinary human.
* {{Adorkable}}: In ''Film/XMenFirstClass''. Soft spoken, stutters, asks Raven out on the pretext of getting a blood sample and then ''apologizes for being forward''.
* AgeLift: Quite a bit older than Cyclops and Jean, even without getting into ''First Class''. While Beast was the eldest of the first students in the comics, he was only in his 30s in [[ComicBookTime the 1990s]].
* BadassBookworm: And [[http://marvel-movies.wikia.com/wiki/File:X-men-beast-hangs.jpg showing him reading...]]
* BattleButler: He essentially fulfills this role for Charles. In addition to looking after his ex-mentor's needs and maintaining the mansion, [=McCoy=] also serves as Xavier's bodyguard.
* BeastMan: Duh.
* BerserkButton:
** In ''Film/XMenFirstClass'', it's taunting his looks.
** In ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', he flies into a murderous rage after Magneto [[spoiler:attempts to kill Mystique]]. He still harbours feelings for her.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Pressing his BerserkButton might lead to him strangling you. Jekyll and Hyde indeed.
* BirdsOfAFeather: In ''Film/XMenFirstClass'', the bond is especially intense between [[IJustWantToBeNormal himself and Raven]] because they possess visible mutations, but they drift apart after the latter begins to accept her real appearance.
* BlessedWithSuck: This is his attitude towards his physical mutation throughout his youth. He goes through great lengths in order to mask what he perceives to be his body's grotesque deformities.
* BodyHorror: His transformation sequence in ''Film/XMenFirstClass'' depicted the process as rather painful and horrific, bones, muscles and skin shifting and stretching while fur aggressively sprouted along his body.
* BrainyBrunet: He's a doctoral-level scientist who graduated from Havard University at the age of 15.
* TheCameo: His older, Creator/KelseyGrammer form appears [[spoiler:at the end of ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', having his between movies death reversed]].
* TheChampion: He puts his entire life on hold for a decade in order to assist and defend the emotionally dysfunctional Charles. Since [=McCoy=] is no longer Professor X's student, they both should be on equal footing, yet Beast continues to readily defer to Xavier's authority. This steadfast devotion demonstrates that Hank values Charles' well-being and safety above his own.
* CoolOldGuy: Much older than Storm and Jean, but [[BadassGrandpa as destructive as Wolverine]].
* CrazyPrepared: Unlike Charles in ''Film/XMenApocalypse'', Hank doesn't believe that human-mutant relations will always be smooth, and he has spent the past decade building a new model of the Blackbird (and presumably equipment, combat uniforms, etc.) so that the X-Men will be ready should things suddenly go south. As Creator/NicholasHoult [[http://www.joblo.com/movie-news/meet-the-x-men-apocalypse-cast-storm-magneto-cyclops-psylocke-more-943 puts it:]]
-->"Hank, since the last movie, still believes that the world kind of needs the X-Men, and that even though there's peace between humans and mutants at this point, he senses trouble and has kind of been building this jet war plan and kind of preparing for the worst."
* CulturedBadass: Tries to quote Churchill while fighting, and quotes Shakespeare prior to taking off to San Francisco in a deleted scene.
%% * DeadpanSnarker
* DistressedDude: In ''Film/XMenApocalypse'', he is imprisoned by [[spoiler:Stryker]].
* DramaticIrony: His attempt at a cure on himself appears to work and then [[spoiler:fails horribly in ''Film/XMenFirstClass'']]. When he later uses a variation to [[spoiler:rob Erik/Magneto of his powers]] in ''Film/XMenTheLastStand'', it seems to work. [[spoiler:And then, rather subtly, it also fails]].
* DroppedABridgeOnHim: According to the tie-in material for ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', he gets [[spoiler:dragged from his home and murdered by a mob of mutant-hating humans akin to the "Friends of Humanity" from the 90's animated series.]]
** Doubles as a CallBack if you're watch the prequel before watching the main X-Men trilogy.
* EarlyBirdCameo: He appears briefly on TV in the bar in ''Film/X2XMenUnited''.
* ExtremeDoormat: In between 1963 and 1973, he has willingly reduced himself to this so that he can keep a constant eye on the self-destructive Charles. Xavier is the sole person [=McCoy=] has left who fully accepts him for who he is, so Beast does everything he can to ensure that nothing bad happens to his OnlyFriend.
* GeniusBruiser:
** In ''Film/XMenFirstClass'', he goes from being a BadassBookworm at the beginning to being a Genius Bruiser toward the end. [[spoiler:This is because he injected himself with something that utterly transformed his appearance.]]
** By ''Film/XMenTheLastStand'', he's a scientist/diplomat who can kick lots of ass.
* GentleGiant: Huge and animal-like, but on the good guys' side.
* GentlemanAndAScholar[=/=]NiceGuy: He's very friendly, prefers to avoid conflict, and truly comes out of his shell when in his comfort zones, such as discussing science or assisting with the other students.
* GoodFlawsBadFlaws: As a young man, he gets lack of self-confidence as one of his primary faults. He is one of Xavier's closest friends, so his personality can't be changed too drastically.
* HeterosexualLifePartners:
** ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'': He and Charles are each other's OnlyFriend for a decade, so it's inevitable that they would develop a very close bond. There are moments of non-verbal (and non-telepathic) communication between the two men, like when Xavier gently taps Beast on the chest after he mutters to Logan, "I think I'd like to wake up now." [=McCoy=] immediately understands that the gesture means, "You can calm down now, our visitor is not a threat," and he reverts back to his human form.
** ''Film/XMenApocalypse'': He and Charles retain their close friendship from ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', and it's a lot healthier now because [=McCoy=] is no longer Xavier's enabler, and they've ceased to be co-dependent. They also behave more like peers, as Hank is a teacher, and he has grown out of being needy of his former mentor's approval.
* HideYourOtherness:
** ''Film/XMenFirstClass'': Fearful of humanity's negative reaction to mutants, he firmly lives by this philosophy.
** ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'': He is very uncomfortable with his blue, furry form, and he creates a serum which temporarily suppresses his mutation so that he can appear human.
* HollywoodNerd:
** ''Film/XMenFirstClass'': He is like an introverted version of Charles; all the brilliance, all the attractiveness, but none of the latter's telepathic gift with people.
** ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'': In his human form, he is quite the PrettyBoy after he loses his NerdGlasses near the end of the movie. This is further accentuated in ''The Rogue Cut'' when Raven removes Hank's eyewear in order to see his face more clearly, and she kisses him shortly afterwards.
* HotScientist: Raven initially harbours a crush on her foster brother, but her affections are quickly transferred to Hank, an engineer and biologist.
* HulkingOut: In ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', 70's Beast uses a serum that allows him to maintain a balance between his human and mutant appearances. When he's angry enough, his mutation kicks in, and he returns to human form once he's calmed down.
* IWasQuiteALooker: He used to be {{Adorkable}} before his Beast transformation.
* LivingEmotionalCrutch: In ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', he is this to the emotionally fragile Charles; the latter is so desperate to escape from his mental pain that he would most likely have died from alcohol poisoning if [=McCoy=] wasn't around to supervise him.
* KarmicTransformation: In ''Film/XMenFirstClass'', his transformation into Beast is tragic, but he brought it on himself. He makes it a little more karmic by being insensitive to Raven just before using it. She tells him he's perfect just the way he is and doesn't need the "cure," and he responds with:
-->'''Hank''': It behooves me to tell you that even if we save the world tomorrow, and mutants are accepted into society, my feet and your natural blue form will never be deemed beautiful.
--> ''(Raven shifts back to her human-looking morph.)''
-->'''Hank''': You look beautiful ''now.''
** Bonus points for his mutation being relatively minor, before it becomes much more pronounced after taking the serum.
* NerdGlasses: He wears the horn-rimmed variety in the First Class trilogy, which in his case is a visual cue that he's a geeky academic.
* OldFlame: In ''The Rogue Cut'', he and Mystique ''definitely'' still have feelings for each other despite being separated for over a decade.
* OncePerEpisode: In every movie where he is a prominent character, we see him hanging upside down.
* OnlyFriend: In ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', after Charles isolates himself from the outside world due to his severe depression, Hank becomes his sole companion.
* ParentalSubstitute: In ''Film/XMenApocalypse'', he is a teacher at the school, and he has a [[http://collider.com/x-men-apocalypse-news-things-to-know/ paternal relationship with the younger mutants.]]
* PermaStubble: He has light stubble throughout ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'' which is meant to make him look older than his clean-shaven appearance in ''First Class''.
* PlayingGertrude: Creator/NicholasHoult was 25 years old during ''Film/XMenApocalypse'''s principal photography, but if we assume that his character was around 20 in 1962, then in 1983 Beast is pushing 40.
* PowerPerversionPotential: Raven jokingly insinuates in ''Film/XMenFirstClass'' that Hank's large, ape-like feet might be an indication that he has a [[BiggerIsBetterInBed massive penis]].
* PrettyBoy:
** ''Film/XMenFirstClass'': He is quite similar to Xavier (just younger and a lot more insecure), and while this may be a coincidence, it's nevertheless convenient that he shares some facial features with his mentor, like pale skin, blue eyes and thick reddish lips. The one big physical difference between them is that Hank is a lot taller.
** ''Film/XMenApocalypse'': Repeating a theme from ''First Class'' is him being a mirror image of Charles with a few key differences. [=McCoy=] remains pretty and boyish in a similar way to Xavier, but despite being a decade younger, he is much more cautious and realistic than his ex-mentor, and he makes plans to ensure that the X-Men have everything they need when (and not if) the peace between mutants and humans is shattered.
* ProfessorGuineaPig: In ''First Class'', he is the first test subject for his appearance cure because there is not a big pool of test subjects for this sort of thing.
* TheReliableOne: He assumes responsibility for Charles and the estate after his friend becomes an emotional train wreck in ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast''.
* SatelliteCharacter: Despite receiving a fair amount of screen time in ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', he doesn't undergo any proper character development, as his existence ''completely'' revolves around Charles.
* TheSmartGuy: He's incredibly intelligent and a brilliant scientist who has invented most of the nifty tools and gadgets (X-Jet, Cerebro, etc.) that the X-Men use.
* TimeShiftedActor: An older actor was cast for ''Film/XMenTheLastStand'', and a younger thespian took over the role for the movies which are set in the 20th century.
* TransformationTrinket: He makes a serum that temporarily reverts him from "blue Beast" to "Nicholas Hoult" in ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast''. [[spoiler:It comes to save him as a Sentinel is about to attack, as the serum not only disguises him but cloaks his X-gene as well.]]
* {{Trekkie}}: It's hinted in ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'' that he is a fan of ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'' (an episode is playing on one of his [=TVs=]), which is fitting considering that he's {{Adorkable}} and a HollywoodNerd. He describes Peter's mutation as "fascinating," which is a reference to Spock. Creator/BryanSinger's favourite fandom is ''Franchise/StarTrek'', so it's natural that he would want to bestow that quality on the character (who, coincidentally, can be called Dr. [=McCoy=]). His Trekkie-ness is more obvious in ''The Rogue Cut'' because Beast is enjoying the episode while sipping a beverage.
* UndyingLoyalty: To Charles Xavier. From the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962 to the rise of the Sentinels in the BadFuture, Hank always remains at Xavier's and the X-Men's side. And he won't hesitate to protect him, either.
** In ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', there are plenty of other things that he could do with his time, yet he chooses to take care of Charles during the latter's decade-long HeroicBSOD. Hank may even be a little ''too'' loyal because he serves as an enabler by providing a serum which worsens his friend's already bad case of substance abuse.
* UnstoppableRage: When he fights Magneto in ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', it's decidedly in Beast's favour, to the extent that [[spoiler:Beast almost drowns him. Magneto only barely manages to save himself by using a nearby sculpture to restrain Beast.]]
* WouldHitAGirl: He must defend himself when the homicidal Psylocke fights him in ''Film/XMenApocalypse''.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: The fur that covers his body is blue. Before his KarmicTransformation, however, he was just a (somewhat) ordinary brunet--the color probably came from him using Mystique's DNA.

->'''Played By''': Lucas Till
->'''Film Appearances''': ''Film/XMenFirstClass | Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast | Film/XMenApocalypse''

A mutant who has the ability to absorb energy and discharge it as blasts. He is the much older brother of Scott Summers.

* EightiesHair: Has a mullet in 1983.
* AgeLift: Given the decision to make him one of the original students and to avoid ComicBookTime. In the comics, he's Cyclops' '''''younger brother''''', but his movie counterpart is about 20 years older than Scott.
* BigBrotherInstinct: In ''Film/XMenApocalypse'', he brings Scott to Xavier's school in the hope that his former mentor can help his younger brother cope with his potentially dangerous mutant power.
* TheBigGuy: Despite not being the largest or physically strongest, Alex's powers are ''much'' more destructive than the other young mutants and he's far more likely to pick a fight than the more docile Hank.
* ChestBlaster: In ''Film/XMenFirstClass'', his suit is designed to focus his energy and discharge it from a device in his chest. By ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', he no longer needs the suit.
* CoolShades: Sports '80s-style sunglasses in ''Film/XMenApocalypse''.
%% * DeadpanSnarker
* DemotedToExtra: He appears in the beginning of ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'' to be rescued by Mystique and never shows up afterwards. Still, at least he survived, unlike the rest of the ''Film/XMenFirstClass'' cast; everyone who didn't appear in the earlier/canonically later movies were unceremoniously killed off in between films. Of course, he had to survive because in the movie-verse, he's Cyclops' much older brother.
* {{Fanservice}}: In ''Film/XMenFirstClass'', he displays his bare, muscular arms during training, plus a section of his chest is exposed when the energy output device is removed from his combat uniform.
* HellBentForLeather: His black leather jacket in ''Film/XMenFirstClass'' mark him as a bad boy in comparison to the other mutant recruits.
* ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy: When he starts to practice controlling his powers, he first ends up shooting everything EXCEPT his intended target. While he really was trying to aim, he couldn't control the sheer force of his powers yet. After some training, he becomes much better at targeting and controlling his blasts.
* JerkJock: A downplayed example in ''Film/XMenFirstClass'' as he's not as bad as what this trope is normally associated with, but he's verbally abusive towards the geeky Hank, and Alex even fits the blond stereotype.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He bullies Hank and is generally pretty abrasive. Later, he sticks by his friends when Shaw comes, and does grow to like and respect Hank.
* MagicFeather: The chest blaster device helps him control his energy blasts, but eventually it gets damaged. He eventually gains enough control over it to aim his uncontrolled blasts effectively, clipping Angel's wings with them.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: He is fearful of the damage his powers could do if he isn't kept isolated, and so prefers being in solitary confinement while in prison so he is at less risk of hurting someone by accident.
* PlayingGertrude: He is roughly two decades older than his brother Scott, but Lucas Till is just 6 years Tye Sheridan's senior.
* PowerIncontinence: In ''Film/XMenFirstClass'', he can emit powerful energy blasts, but he can't control their direction. This problem is solved by a special harness, which he even refers to as his "energy diaper" in a deleted scene.
* SacrificialLion: [[spoiler:He's only one of five characters to appear in every entry of the First Class trilogy, but because he's the least developed, he's killed off in ''Film/XMenApocalypse''.]]
* SleevesAreForWimps: In ''Film/XMenFirstClass'' during the training scenes, everyone gets matching grey tracksuits. His, inexplicably, doesn't have sleeves.
* StuffedIntoTheFridge: [[spoiler:In a rare male example, he dies in ''Film/XMenApocalypse'' to kick-start his younger brother's Scott CharacterDevelopment.]]
* WouldHitAGirl: Angel Salvadore attacks him and Banshee with her highly acidic spit balls, so once he and his teammate land safely on a beach, Havok unleashes his power and burns her wings.
* UndyingLoyalty: Although he was under Professor X's tutelage for no more than a year when he was a teen, [[note]]it started from the lead-up to the Cuban Missile Crisis and it ended when Alex was drafted for the UsefulNotes/VietnamWar after Xavier's school was open for only one semester[[/note]] he remains grateful for the help that Charles gave to him [[Film/XMenApocalypse two decades later]]. Havok is the first one to run after the Professor and try to rescue him when his ex-mentor is seized by Magneto.
* {{Unishment}}: Given a passing mention in ''Film/XMenFirstClass''. A prison guard where he was staying at the beginning of the film remarks that he's "the only prisoner I've ever seen who actually ''prefers'' solitary." Sure enough, when we first see him, Alex is in solitary. A subversion, since Alex doesn't really ''enjoy'' solitary, he's trying to stay away from people so he doesn't actually hurt them with the energy blasts that are his mutant power, and which he has great difficulty in controlling.

->'''Played By''': Caleb Landry Jones
->'''Film Appearances''': ''Film/XMenFirstClass''

A mutant capable of ultrasonic screaming, used in various ways including as a means of flight and sonar.

* AgeLift: Inverted; he's a teenager as opposed to an adult when he joins the proto X-Men. His comics' counterpart was in a romantic relationship with Moira [=MacTaggert=] (and therefore he was close to her in age), but in the movie-verse, he's at least a dozen years her junior.
* AdaptationalNationality: He is American in the movie-verse, but in the comics, he was Irish.
* ChivalrousPervert: Is introduced flirting with a girl, who seems to find him comical more than anything else. He also wolf-whistles at Angel.
* DeadpanSnarker: He does have some nifty lines.
-->'''Raven''': We should come up with secret codenames, we're secret agents now! I'll start, I'm gonna be Mystique.\\
'''Sean''': Damn! I wanted to be called Mystique!
* DroppedABridgeOnHim: He dies in between ''Film/XMenFirstClass'' and ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'' at the hands of Bolivar Trask, who captured him and numerous other mutants to dissect, experiment on, and help develop the Sentinel Program.
* FieryRedhead: His actor even auditioned because it was a rare ginger superhero. Ironically, [[InvertedTrope Sean's one of the least hot-headed and combative of the students]], with those titles going moreso to Alex and Raven.
* GlassShatteringSound: In ''Film/XMenFirstClass''. Charles points out all the science to him.
* MakeMeWannaShout: His mutation involves making very powerful sound waves that can break glass (among other things). They're also very effective at locating things underwater, in similar variant of echolocation. In an unusual variation, this includes [[IBelieveICanFly the power of flight]], by bouncing sound waves off the ground back into a wingsuit.
* NotQuiteFlight: Sean's flight deals with using his supersonic screams to help him glide.
-->'''Charles''': You need the sound waves to be supersonic. Catch them at the right angle and they should carry you.
-->'''Sean''': They ''should'' carry me... that's reassuring.
* PluckyComicRelief: He's the most fun character in ''Film/XMenFirstClass''.
* TookALevelInBadass: His training involves learning how to use his powers in more efficient ways, including flying, disorienting opponents, and locating Shaw's submarine.

->'''Played By''': Edi Gathegi
->'''Film Appearances''': ''Film/XMenFirstClass''

A mutant with the power of "reactive evolution."
----
* AgeLift: He's roughly the same age as Havok in both comics and movie, thus his counterpart in the former is younger than Cyclops, Jean, Iceman, and Angel.
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: In the comics, he had bulging eyes, slits for a nose, and reptilian grey skin. In the movie, he looks like a normal human.
* AdaptiveAbility: His ability involves his body making whatever changes necessary to keep him from dying in whatever environment he's in, such as growing gills while underwater.
* DiedStandingUp: [[spoiler:He stays standing after being killed by Sebastian Shaw]].
* FakeDefector: He does this to Sebastian Shaw's group of evil mutants as a ploy to give his teammate Havok a clear shot at Shaw's group (his own mutant ability will protect him from Havok's attack, and their friend but genuine traitor Angel, who wouldn't be safe otherwise). [[spoiler:It doesn't turn out so good for him when Shaw's group survives unscathed due to Shaw's mutant ability allowing him to absorb Havok's attack.]]
* FeedItABomb: [[spoiler:He gets offed in this way]].
* HeroicSpirit: He stands up to Shaw after seeing him murder an entire building of CIA agents.
* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:He doesn't get to come back in ''Days of Future Past'' like Cyclops and Jean Grey, because ''First Class'' is still canon in the new timeline.]]
* MixedAncestry: Black/Hispanic.
* NiceGuy: Polite, friendly, and when things get rough he can be seen immediately moving to make himself a human shield for the other kids.
* NoBodyLeftBehind: [[spoiler:He is vaporized immediately by the blast he took, and one of his teammates even said, "We can't even bury him."]]
* SacrificialLion: The first member of the proto X-Men [[spoiler:to die.]]
