History Characters / XMenMutantLiberationFront

* {{Expy}}: Creator/BrianBendis's [[CreatorsPet pet]] mutant Tempus, from the third volume of ''ComicBook/UncannyXMen'', owes a ''lot'' to Tempo.

* BackupTwin: So much so that even has an identical appearance and mutant powers to his twin, unlike other mutant siblings who have similar powers but with subtle variations.

* HeroicBuild: During the Krakoa era when the MLF were shown on their off time he was shown working out and shirtless, and was surprisingly buff.

* CardCarryingVillain: One of those antiquated villains who so embraces the role he actually calls his enemies heroes.
* DeathIsCheap: Cable shot him through the head but years later he returned in the year 3086, working for another version of Stryfe.

* PowerfulButIncompetent: If his MSH game stats are taken as official, he's twice as strong Blob and far more mobile, but tactically he makes the thick-headed Dukes look like a genius. Cable, Kane, and Warlock were all outmatched by his raw strength but each easily worked out a way to beat him, in the foremost case permanently.

* CharacterDevelopment: During the period of time when Danielle Moonstar was in the MLF she brought out a softer side in Forearm, but after she left the inevitable StatusQuoIsGod reset button was pushed and this was forgotten about.

* MultiArmedAndDangerous: Has four arms and he's a terrorist.

* UnexplainedRecovery: He was among the mutants that lost its powers during M-Day, yet he reappeared with his powers restored some time later without explanation.

* TheVoiceless: He doesn't talk, at least not during his MLF tenure. After leaving them he found his voice.

* BlankWhiteEyes: His eyes are really blank.
* ExplosiveLeash: When he worked for Weapon X he was given a mental version of this that caused his mind to shut down when Cable attempted to telepathically probe him. Apparently it wasn't permanent, as he returned after a few years none the worse for wear.
* EvilKnockoff: Played with, as he is often referred to as a poor man's Wolverine but in truth he's closer to Feral and Thorn or even Sabretooth.

* FightsLikeANormal: Doesn't not use his illusion powers a lot as he prefers to fight had-to-hand. And he's a savage fighter at that.

* TheSociopath: A low-key case, but interestingly he emphasizes one of the sociopathic traits that is often downplayed in fictional sociopaths, their impulsiveness. This is highlighted when he kills Dr. Tucker, as his MLF teammates chide him for killing the man before he could tell them where his research and samples were but he just nonchalantly orders them to destroy the clinic instead.
* TookALevelInBadass: When he was exposed to the Mothervine virus his illusions were upgraded in potency to YourMindMakesItReal.

* RaceLift: Originally Locus was depicted as a white blonde woman. In future appearances she was depicted as an african american woman.

* ArchEnemy: Set up to be one as Sunfire in her debut appearance, but they never crossed paths again.

* {{Delinquents}}: They see themselves as freedom fighters and others see them as terrorists but really just young mutants acting out especially without Stryfe's more negative influence.

* BrainwashedandCrazy: She along Skids were mind controlled by the sorcerers Pandemonia, who planned to brainwash the members of X-force. But they were rescued by Moonstar and Jennifer Kale.
* KilledoffForReal: Locus ended meeting her death by the hands of Sabretooth when Weapon X tried to recruit her.

\\\
A Bengali mutant who was more or less the official ButtMonkey of the MLF. Briefly became a much more prominent character as one of the [[ComicBook/TheUltraverse All-New Exiles]].

* AbortedArc: Alongside Black Knight, Juggernaut, and Siena Blaze, he spent some time in the Ultraverse. This came to an abrupt end when the All-New Exiles book was cancelled and has more or less been consigned to CanonDiscontinuity since.
* AnArmAndALeg: Lost an arm to Shatterstar and a leg to Zero's portal, resulting in...
* ArtificialLimbs: Stryfe gave Reaper bionic replacements for his lost limbs.
* ButtMonkey: Poor Reaper [[RunningGag always]] loses his limbs at every fight and kept having to get artificial limb replacements.
* ExplosiveLeash: When he worked for Weapon X he was given a mental version of this that caused his mind to shut down when Cable attempted to telepathically probe him. Apparently it wasn't permanent, as he returned after a few years none the worse for wear.
* ForTheEvulz: Reaper enjoys his terrorist work, looking as it's more fun than as a job.
* TheQuisling: Along with Wildside, he joined the reformed Weapon X program in the 2000s, being given low-level upgrades and sent as a hitman after Cable.
* TheParalyzer: Reaper can paralyze his foes by touching them from contact through his skin or scythe before finishing them off but with his artificial limbs, it has less effect.
* RePower: Using the Terrigen Mist stolen from the Inhumans, Quicksilver repowered Reaper, who recovered his morph capabilities, then somehow his cybernetic enhancements.
* SinisterScythe: Has one to go with his Reaper codename.
* TookALevelInBadass: When he traveled to the Ultraverse, as unlike the other Marvel expatriates his powers weren't halved.
