* AliensAreBastards: He has some redeeming qualities, but alas, he leads an expansionist alien empire in a X-Men comic.

* AmazonChaser: He becomes attracted to Ororo after seeing her display her superpowers, and it was only increased after witnessing her strong spirit. This seems to be [[HasAType Khan's type]] since his concubines are all [[ActionGirl warrior women]].

* BadassNormal: Unusual for an X-Men alien foe, he doesn't display any obvious superpowers and seems to be about as strong and durable as a normal human, but he still manages to beat [[DarkActionGirl Madame Viper]] (one of the deadliest hand-to-hand combatants that the X-Men had faced) and hold his own against Storm. He also has beaten all heroes from the worlds he has previously conquered.

* NobleDemon: While he is a villain, he has many sympathetic traits such as being willing to reward worlds that surrender to him and allow them to prosper with the use of his advanced technology.

A powerful, dangerous and insane mutant RealityWarper, Mikhail Rasputin is a former Russian cosmonaut and the elder brother of Piotr (ComicBook/{{Colossus}}) and Illyana Rasputin (ComicBook/{{Magik}}). Originally a Russian cosmonaut, the Soviet government [[FakingTheDead faked a shuttle accident]] to send him on a secret mission to another dimension. There, the use of his powers accidentally caused the deaths of countless beings (including his wife), traumatizing him and leaving him with a deeply-rooted [[ItsAllMyFault martyr complex]]. Eventually, Mikhail would set himself up as a DarkMessiah of desperate mutants (specifically, the descendants of the Morlocks), and eventually even inadvertently causing the death of ([[TimeyWimeyBall one version of]]) his little sister Illyana.

* GoodScarsEvilScars: Has a long rectangular scar across his right eye, giving him a sinister look. Morally, he could [[ChaoticNeutral go either way]] in any given situation.

His various attempts to help the Morlocks and others tend to end violently and badly, which brings him into conflict with the X-Men, mostly out of a desire to use his vast mutant powers for good, but his insanity tends to cause this to backfire. He has a tense relationship with his siblings but generally cares for them.

** When Hulk destroyed Onslaught's physical form, the entity turned into an incorporeal energy state. Still, it also became a case of NiceJobFixingItHVillain as all the other heroes of the Franchise/MarvelUniverse combined were helpless before it, whereas Hulk excels at raw power (and not much else), and somehow made it vulnerable to (admittedly contrived) alternative approaches afterward.

An elderly Japanese man born with mutations caused by atomic bomb radiation rather than the X-Gene. Angered by how the good looking X-Men claimed to be outcasts, he spent years in secret plotting their downfall.

* TookALevelInBadass: In a more recent appearance he was not only a contender for the power of TheJuggernaut, but actually managed to claim the gem that gives Juggy his powers, briefly becoming one of the most powerful heavyweights in the Marvel U.

* TheWorfEffect: Has his origins in this, as he was literally born from the idea of "wouldn't it be cool if someone punched TheJuggernaut halfway across the country?" As of his first issue where he did this, [[https://www.cbr.com/comic-book-urban-legends-revealed-116/2/ no one even had any idea who he was going to be yet]]! TheReveal that he was a corrupted Xavier turned this worfing into an ItsPersonal moment between Chuck and his bully-turned-supervillain stepbrother.

* ClothesMakeTheSuperman: Zigzagged with Orphan-Maker's suit. On one hand, it's a perfectly functional suit of PoweredArmor that comes in handy in his murderous business. On the other hand, that's its ''secondary'' purpose, and it primarily exists to be a PowerNullifier.

* DiabolusExNihilo: Sublime is ''very'' unlike almost any other X-Men villain, the whole [[spoiler:sentient colony of bacteria]] thing coming out of nowhere, and for all that you'd ''think'' a villain who's done even half of what Sublime claims responsibility for would have the entirety of the Marvel U's heroes breathing down his neck, Sublime in practice ends up being the comic book equivalent of a BonusBoss, barely appearing or even being mentioned after the Morrison run.

An eccentric millionaire introduced early on in Creator/GrantMorrison's run on the book, John Sublime became well-known for proclaiming that the thing he wanted most in the world was to be a mutant. He described this dream in his book, ''The Third Species'', in which he encourages baseline humans to find the mutant within. He first comes under the X-Men's radar after the book is linked to a string of killings of mutants whose organs are subsequently harvested by a group calling themselves "the U-Men." Questioned by Cyclops and Emma Frost, he at first feigns innocence, but quickly reveals that he is the one in command of the U-Men, and is keeping a young telepath, Martha Johansson (reduced to a BrainInAJar and kept alive by drugs) enslaved to sedate mutants while his men dissect them. Scott and Emma escape from the operating table, and Emma forces Sublime out a window (in revenge for the extremely expensive nose job the U-Men had earlier ruined). As Emma debates with herself whether or not to SaveTheVillain, Martha takes the situation into her own (metaphorical) hands and telepathically forces Sublime to let go of Emma's hand.

!!!'''Nationality:''' Scottish, Krakoan
!!!'''Species:''' Human Mutant
!!!'''First Appearance:''' ''ComicBook/UncannyXMen'' #96 (1975)

Introduced as [[Characters/MarvelComicsProfessorX Charles Xavier]]'s longtime human friend (and former love interest), Moira was a geneticist who frequently aided the X-Men with her expertise on mutations, eventually founding the Muir Island research facility that she set up to study mutant genetics. After finding a cure for the Legacy Virus, however, Moira was killed by ComicBook/{{Mystique}}, and that was that.

...Or at least, that's how it ''seemed''. It later turned out that she faked her death with a Shi'ar golem, but that wasn't the only revelation provided in [[ComicBook/XMen2019 2019]]. Decades after her first appearance, it was revealed via {{retcon}} that Moira was in fact ''not'' a mere human, but a mutant herself -- and a vital one at that.

Moira has the power of {{reincarnation}}, specifically [[BornAgainImmortality born-again immortality]]. The timeline resets after her death and she is born again, at the same point in the past, retaining all of the knowledge and experience she's accumulated from her past lives. That, combined with her undetectable X-gene, has allowed Moira to secretly work towards saving the mutant race from inevitable extinction while passing as an ordinary human in many timelines. Unfortunately, nearly every timeline that she lived through had one thing in common: doom for Mutantkind at her life's end.

According to Destiny, Moira's reincarnations aren't infinite, and she has ten -- ''maybe'' eleven -- at most, meaning she's possibly on her last life as Moira X. And since she's not sure if she's got another shot at reincarnation to fall back on, she formed a secret alliance between Professor X and Magneto about three years after their first confrontations, in an effort to take the lessons learned from each of her previous lives in order to establish a future where mutants can survive. The three have been secretly collaborating over the years -- give or take a period of defection from Magneto -- in order to create a world safe for mutantkind, a goal which moves forward with the creation of a new Mutant nation known as Krakoa. Moira operates on the island in secret, preferring not to draw any attention to herself. Now depowered, scorned, injured and exiled, she turned to becoming a cyborg and joined Orchis against mutantdom, becoming director of Orchis' Fifth Petal, Sociology / Modeling.

As a major supporting character to the ''X-Men'' mythos, Moira has appeared frequently in other media. She was most notably portrayed by Creator/RoseByrne in the ''Film/XMenFilmSeries'', appearing in ''[[Film/XMenFirstClass First Class]]'' and ''[[Film/XMenApocalypse Apocalypse]]''; this version of the character is a UsefulNotes/{{CIA}} agent rather than a geneticist. Creator/OliviaWilliams previously portrayed Moira in ''Film/XMenTheLastStand'', wherein she resembled her comic book counterpart more closely. Moira also appeared in episodes of ''WesternAnimation/XMenTheAnimatedSeries'', as well as various video games including ''VideoGame/XMenLegends''. Due to all of these adaptations preceding Jonathan Hickman's ''X-Men'' run, she is portrayed as a human in every single one.

* AbusiveParents: Issue six of ''Powers of X'' has entries from Moira's diary that all but state that Proteus and David Haller were conceived as means to an end. This explains their neglect and suffering under their parents' care outside of the general BlessedWithSuck nature of their powers which is made an unintended consequence. When she finally reunited with him at the second Krakoan Hellfire Gala, she taunts him in a manner so cruel that’s not to different from Mystique with her own son.
* AlliterativeName: '''M'''oira '''M'''acTaggert.
* AlternateCompanyEquivalent: She arguably became one for [[Characters/JusticeLeagueOfAmericaAntagonist Maxwell Lord]]. Both were human allies for their respective teams, retconned into being born with powers (Mutant in Moira's case, metahuman in Maxwell's), got very different personalities after this retcon, and became BoomerangBigots.
* AmicableExes: Her and Charles, usually. [[spoiler:Really, really subverted after the big retcon, which reveals she can't stand him, and is in fact manipulating him for her own ends.]]
* AntiquatedLinguistics: When written by Clairmont, she could slip into this sometimes. People haven't said "yon" for a while now...
* BadassBookworm: A scientist who doesn't have much problem getting into a fight when she has to.
* BadassNormal: Completely willing to fight a demon with an assault rifle.
* BadToTheLastDrop: She's talented in multiple areas, but she can't make a decent cup of coffee to save her life.
* BackToTheWomb: In ''House Of X,'' she's [[spoiler: revealed to have the mutant power to reboot the universe every time she dies, essentially granting her BornAgainImmortality via GroundhogDayLoop. She retains her intelligence and memories when she starts the next life - always doing so in the womb; for good measure, the final panel of the flashback that reveals this features baby Moira beginning her tenth life by opening her eyes in the womb with an expression that can only be described as "HereWeGoAgain".]]
* BattleButler: Or at least posed as one, rather convincingly.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Moira has a nurturing, parental presence much like her old love Charles. And also like Charles, she can be downright ''deadly'' if you mess with the mutants under her care.
* {{BFG}}: Always managed to have one of these handy during the nineties. Then again, it ''was'' [[NinetiesAntiHero the nineties]]....
* BlueBlood: Her father is a Scottish nobleman, which is apparently how she's able to afford that giant research facility. Accordingly, Wolfsbane would often call her "Lady Moira", over Moira's repeated objections.
* BornAgainImmortality: Per ''House of X'', this is [[spoiler: her mutant power. She gets PastLifeMemories each time she resurrects, but she has a finite number of resurrections, '10, maybe 11' according to Destiny. Finally, a loophole is discovered when she gets shot with Forge's x-gene neutraliser, meaning she gets no do-overs. On the other hand, curiously enough, Sinister's discovered that Moira clones - which he's been using as part of his SaveScumming gambits - only work about 10 times before degenerating]].
* BrainwashingForTheGreaterGood: At one point she did this to a de-aged Magneto in hopes of helping him find a normal life. Not only did it not stick, but it arguably made Mags ''more'' villainous [[UnstoppableRage when he found out]]. And then it turned out it had never actually taken in the first place.
* BraveScot: More intellectually-inclined that many examples, but damn if she isn't bold.
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: In one of [[spoiler: her earlier lives, Moira was apparently ''[[WomanOnFire burned alive]]'' by Pyro as a punishment ordered by Mystique and Destiny for trying to develop a mutant cure]].
* ChildByRape: It's implied that Proteus was conceived when Joseph had beaten her unconscious, then forced himself on her.
* DearJohnLetter: She sent one to Charles while he was serving in the army overseas.
* DeathByIrony: Averted cruelly. She contracted the Legacy virus, which normally infects only mutants, and at one point it looked very much like she would lose her life to that contagion, only for Mystique to kill her first. As if the irony wasn't cruel enough, she'd just discovered the cure to the human-infecting Legacy strain. [[spoiler:''House of X'' revealed she didn't die at all - and that she was, in fact, a mutant.]]
* DemonicPossession: During the Muir Island Saga, she's the Shadow King's main mouthpiece on Muir Island.
* DependingOnTheWriter: Her attitude towards Proteus.
** Claremont had it with a mix of abusive and neglectful, hating Proteus for the reasons behind his conception, which a fetal Proteus picked up on, then locking him up in a room for his entire life for his own good, then telling the X-Men to kill him because he was so evil and trying to do the deed herself.
** Niceiza depicts her as legitimately regretful for how she treated Kevin, hoping he found some measure of happiness somewhere, even if it was in death.
** And the Krakoa era goes right back into abusive, avoiding him and never telling him she was alive, then when they do meet up again telling him she gives precisely zero shits about him.
* DiedInYourArmsTonight: She survives long enough to be flown across the Atlantic and dies in Charles's arms.
* DirtyCoward: Post-retcons and her Heel Turn, Moira is pretty much defined by her terror at the thought of dying, to the extent Nightcrawler declares her the most afraid woman he's ever met.
* DistaffCounterpart: Became one to [[spoiler:Xavier when written by Johnathan Hickman, even took the codename "Moira X".]]
* DomesticAbuse: Her first husband, a politician named Joseph, was violently abusive to her.
* DramaticIrony: According to Omega Sentinel, the Krakoa plan masterminded by her is destined to work, each and every time, but because Moira is not aware of this, she assumes that mutantkind is destined to lose anyway. If she hadn't signed up with Orchis, there's a good chance mutantkind would have won the war already.
* EmpoweredBadassNormal: As of ''House of X'', [[spoiler:Moira was never human but actually a mutant all along, before losing her powers and becoming an Omega Sentinel]].
* EvilIsPetty: Post-retcon. Moira becomes willing to side with Orchis and then engineer the extermination of everyone on Krakoa out of ''sheer spite'', figuring if they kick her out, she'll take their future from them.
* FaceHeelTurn: Went from one of the X-men's greatest allies, to killing the man she loved and plotting with Orchis and the Eternals to wipe out mutantkind.
* FakingTheDead: ''House of X'' #2 revealed that [[spoiler: Moria never died at the hands of Mystique, that a Shi'ar golem took her place.]]
* FamilyExtermination: Comboed with WellIntentionedExtremist, as [[spoiler:she apparently tried to wipe out the entire Trask bloodline in one of her earlier lives to prevent the creation of Sentinels]].
* FriendlyGhost: Though dead, she's helped the X-Men from the afterlife a couple of times, directing Banshee to a hidden room on Muir Island and later returning briefly during the ''Chaos War'' event.
* FunetikAksent: It's how ye know she's Scottish, though it did get ludicrous on occasion, with one issue having her go from "yuir" to "yur" and "your" all in a few pages.
* GenocideFromTheInside: After deciding that mutancy is a curse from the trauma of her own powers, she spent one life working on a cure for mutant powers. Destiny managed to persuade her to reconsider in her next life. [[spoiler:She didn't listen. Instead she worked to ingratiate herself into an influential position over the global mutant population so she could implement a subtle cure that would keep later generations of mutants from developing powers in the first place. Destiny also managed to avert this.]]
* GoneHorriblyRight: It's also been retconned that both Legion and Proteus were deliberate attempts by Moira and Xavier to create powerful reality warping mutants. Well, [[WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity they certainly got that]].
* GroundhogDayLoop: Her [[spoiler:mutant power. She has ten lives, and every time she dies, she's transported back into her body as a fetus, with all of her prior memories]].
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Her abusive first husband Joe [=MacTaggert=] convinced her to write Charles a DearJohnLetter and marry him instead. And while Chuck is definitely preferable to that cad, time has shown us that Moira's second love isn't exactly a shining paragon of morality either.
* ImmortalGenius: ''ComicBook/XMen2019'' reveals that [[spoiler: she's actually a mutant blessed with BornAgainImmortality by way of GroundhogDayLoop. Not only is she a brilliant geneticist that even created a working cure for mutation in their third lifetime, but after opting to side with mutants instead, has been using the knowledge acquired over multiple lifetimes to benefit various influential figures - including Professor X, Magneto, and even Apocalypse.]]
* InNameOnly: She was adapted into the ''Film/XMenFilmSeries'', but in a ''heavily'' reimagined role, being made an American CIA agent rather than a Scottish scientist - though the original timeline briefly featured her as a scientist, indicating she may have become a scientist in later life.
* LethalChef: A long-running joke is Moira and her coffee. If there was a complaint desk in Excalibur's Muir Island base, probably this would be on the top. To the extent that when Kitty volunteered to take Pete Wisdom to London to check on a friend of his, Brian told him "Buy some coffee while you're there! We've run out of Rory's good stuff." And it didn't even escape Xavier's notice. He once quipped that Jubilee was using Moira's coffee to lubricate her roller skates, and also remarked on it during a video-phone call with Moira:
-->'''Moira:''' Och, it's noon and I'm still barely up. It's the break o' dawn wi' you and ye look fresh as a daisy. Ye make me sick, Charles Xavier.
-->'''Professor X:''' No, Moira. It's your '''coffee''' that makes you sick.
* LivingADoubleLife: For reasons currently unrevealed, [[spoiler: Moira spent decades pretending to be a baseline human when she was in fact a mutant all along]].
* LogicalWeakness: Mutant powers typically manifest at puberty. Moira's reborn with the memories and skills from her previous lives, but if she dies before puberty her BornAgainImmortality won't trigger to save her. As Destiny points out, sooner or later, her immortality will end.
* MamaBear: Do ''not'' mess with her students if you value your life. Subverted in her relationship with her supervillain mutant son Proteus, though.
* TheMaidenNameDebate: Kept her ex-husbands last name to spite their marriage being unloving and abusive.
* OffingTheOffspring: Tries to kill her son Proteus at one point, after he's already murdered at least two people. Cyclops interrupts at the last minute.
* OldFlame: Her and Chuck nearly got married, a lifetime ago.
* OrganizationWithUnlimitedFunding: Apparently the [=MacTaggerts=] were ''very'' well off, given Moira is able to afford that phenomenally large lab facility, and repair it from being utterly trashed several times.
* ParentalSubstitute: To Rahne Sinclair (Wolfsbane). Also, to a limited extent, to [[ComicBook/XMan Nate Grey]], who came to her looking for a cure to his genetic degeneration a couple of times. The two were moderately close, with Moira seeing helping him as a way to atone for her failing her own son, Proteus, and, hilariously, she once managed to ''scold'' him into submission after his paranoia and HairTriggerTemper, plus taking the account of Spoor (a prisoner on the island) at face value, had resulted in a full-on meltdown. Given that he was biologically 17 but with far less life experience, it was observed that he had literally no idea how to argue back.
* ProphecyTwist: Destiny told Moira during her third life that she would only live ten lives or eleven "if [she makes] the right choice in the end". [[spoiler:[[ComicBook/Inferno2021 During her tenth life]], she gets depowered by Mystique, implying she could have potentially been resurrected indefinitely had Mystique not done so. [[ComicBook/XLivesAndXDeathsOfWolverine At the end of said life]], Moira gets [[BrainUploading her mind transferred]] to an Omega Sentinel body, thus granting her an "eleventh" life.]]
* RapeAsDrama: When recounting how Proteus was conceived, it's implied Joseph had raped her after beating her unconscious.
* Really700YearsOld: [[spoiler:Moira has actually lived through most of her resurrections already, and in one of those resurrections she lived an unnaturally long life thanks to Wolverine's blood and died after well over 1000 years. As this was all before Moira even met Charles Xavier, this places her roughly in the time periods of Apocalypse in terms of her actual]] mental age.
* ReincarnationRomance: Per ''House of X'', the [[spoiler:reincarnated]] Moira has struck up one of these with none other than [[spoiler:Apocalypse]]. OppositesAttract indeed!
* TheReveal: ''House of X'' #2 reveals that [[spoiler: she's a mutant, and has influenced Charles Xavier's long-term goals, culminating in the foundation of Krakoa and she's still alive]].
%%* {{Scotireland}}
* SameCharacterButDifferent: Her return in [[ComicBook/DawnOfX Dawn of X]] changed her personality so much she isn't recognizable. Moira used to be a friendly TeamMom who cared greatly about the X-Men. After Dawn of X she's much more callous and pragmatic with her relationship with everyone else and may treat them as just tools. And while classic Moira isn't against fighting, she also was capable of talking things out, such as stopping Nate Grey's attack on Excalibur by ''scolding'' him, meanwhile, modern Moira is never shown considering solving things peacefully, to the point that when Magneto suggests allying with the machines in ''[[ComicBook/Inferno2021 Inferno]]'', she quickly shuts down the idea. It gets worse considering that since current 616 is her tenth life, it means all this time the personality she showed was only a facade, and yet this causes some serious cases of RetroactiveIdiotBall, such as how a data page from ''Powers of X'' #6 claims she searched for people who are a genetic match for her and Xavier to create powerful mutants, but that doesn't explain why she married Joe [=MacTaggert=] and stayed in an abusive marriage when all she wanted from him was have his child and nothing else.
* TeamMom: To the ComicBook/{{Excalibur}} team.
* TokenHuman: Moira was the X-Men's second human ally and quickly supplanted the first (FBI Agent Fred Duncan) as the X-Men's most important non-mutant friend. [[spoiler:''House of X'' retcons this entirely, revealing that she was actually a mutant the whole time.]]
* TookALevelInJerkass: Several, after ''Inferno'', dedicating herself to annihilating Mutantkind out of petty spite.
* WalkingSpoiler: [[spoiler:As of being brought back in ''House of X'', where she is set to play an important yet currently ambiguous role. Also, her entire history has effectively been retconned, and as a result of now being Really700YearsOld she has now had a far more important (yet currently ambiguous) influence over the history of the ''X-Men'' universe.]]
* WhatTheHellHero: She imprisons her mutant son in a cell and dehumanizes him by referring to him only as Mutant X. Though considering her son was a walking case of WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity it's clear that this was at least ''somewhat'' necessary. Ironically enough, ''X-Men Legacy'' revealed that she was very much in the habit of calling Charles out on this in the early days of him gathering the first class of X-Men.

* TrainingFromHell: Mikhail saved the last survivors of the Morlocks from their tunnels as they were flooding... by teleporting them to an alternate dimension that was really a giant mountain known only as "the Hill." There, he left them at the bottom, making them climb through [[HollywoodAcid Acid Rain]], fighting both native monsters (and each other) for the few scarce resources the dimension had, with the objective being, ostensibly, to get up the Hill to where he was, as an exercise in Social Darwinism (the idea was to cull the weak and weak-willed so that the Morlocks as a people could better survive and endure). It wasn't until ComicBook/{{Storm}} arrived that he started spotting the flaws in this plan.

--> '''Mikhail''': ''(slowly smiling a guilty smile)'' Some say a legend. Some say a curse. It will be for you to decide which you believe.
--> '''Storm''': ''(with a knowing smirk)'' Then I shall bide my time, stranger... since in my day, I have been branded both myself!
