!!Erik the Red / Davan Shakari
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/erik_the_red.jpg]]
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/LawrenceBayne

* TheArtifact: In the comics, Erik the Red started as a disguise of Cyclops's that the Shi'ar Davan Shakari took on for reasons that were never really explained. Here, it's an alias that he's taken on while exiled on Earth.
* CompositeCharacter: His role as the one responsible for the events that cause Jean to become Phoenix are also taken from Steven Lang.
* KnowWhenToFoldEm: Initially hires Black Tom and Juggernaut to capture Lilanda, but when Tom asks for payment he tries to kill him. A little squeezing from Juggernaut makes him change his mind and pay up.
* PunyHumans: Erik despises humanity, and several years spying on us has done absolutely nothing to change his opinion.
* ReassignedToAntarctica: Apparently not for any screw-up, but Earth's a primitive backwater and he's itching at the chance to show D'Ken he can be more useful elsewhere.

[[folder:Phoenix]]
!!Phoenix
[[quoteright:801:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/the_phoenix_x_men.jpg]]
%% [[caption-width-right:801:some caption text]]
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: In the original ''Dark Phoenix Saga'', Phoenix did a lot of shady things as a result of Mastermind's influence, including mind-whammying the Prydes so they'd be amenable to Kitty going to the Institute, killing two Hellfire goons as they chased Kitty, and trying to murder the X-Men simply because they were Jean's MoralityChain. None of those things happen here.
* ArcVillain: The Phoenix is the main antagonist of the Dark Phoenix Saga in season 3. Initially a benevolent force working to save existence in the Phoenix Saga, its return sees it devolve into gleeful malevolence as it indulges in newfound experiences of of emotion and evil, threatening the universe it once sought to protect.
* BigBadSlippage: It is introduced as the protector of the M'kraan Crystal, aiding Lilandra in protecting it and the rest of the universe from D'ken. However, once this is accomplished, the Phoenix grows to enjoy the feelings of emotion from physical form too much to leave Jean's body. Mastermind's manipulations further push it to evil, and it soon becomes just as great a threat as D'ken.
* ChewingTheScenery: Phoenix going DrunkOnTheDarkSide allows Catherine Disher to really go over-the-top.
* DeusExitMachina: Phoenix gives Jean a massive boost in power, meaning she and Jean are absent for the events of "Savage Land, Savage Heart", where their godlike powers would immediately shut down Sauron and Garokk with ease.
* EquivalentExchange: Offers to revive Jean in exchange for the life of another X-Men. However, when they all volunteer, this proves to be enough to bring her back without sacrificing anyone.
* EvilCostumeSwitch: Starting off, it gives Jean a green and gold outfit. When it goes Dark Phoenix, the green turns blood red.
* EvilSoundsDeep: When it becomes Dark Phoenix, Jean's voice gets lower.
* ForTheEvulz: Thanks to Wyngarde's manipulations, the Phoenix learns of the sheer joy of evil, and embraces it wholeheartedly. Where its comic counterpart destroyed the D'Bari star for refuelling, Jean explains that here it did so simply because it could.
* HumanSacrifice: The Phoenix can resurrect the deceased Jean by killing another person in a SacrificialRevivalSpell. However, if multiple people offer themselves as sacrifices, it can drain all of them nonfatally to resurrect the charge.
* PhysicalGod: The Phoenix is a cosmic force roosting inside Jean, boosting her psychic powers to their utmost, and without any of Jean's humanity restraining it. The X-Men are just a ''little'' outclassed by someone who can casually eat stars and smash their way through spaceships. The Shi'ar figure the best course of action is blow up whatever the Phoenix is on and hope.
* SealedInsideAPersonShapedCan: Professor X manages to temporarily seal the Phoenix up inside Jean's head, but a fight with the Shi'ar Imperial Guard causes all those restraints to break.
* SenseFreak: The Phoenix bound itself to Jean to deal with the M'kraan Crystal going haywire. Unfortunately for everyone else, it enjoyed human sensation too much to leave. A few days of psychic manipulation by Mastermind push it even further into madness, and make it decide it wants to experience ''more''. Fortunately, after Jean nearly kills herself it pushes the Phoenix out of her body and it calms down.
* SparedByTheAdaptation: The original ''Dark Phoenix Saga'' comic ends with a HeroicSuicide from Jean which also destroys the Phoenix Force (at least [[DeathIsCheap temporarily]]). In the series, the Phoenix willingly lets go of Jean so both of them can survive.
* ThatManIsDead: Once it goes dark, it claims Jean isn't there anymore, and there's only Phoenix. It's wrong.
* WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove: It doesn't understand such things as love.

-->'''Voiced by:''' Peter Wildman (original series), Creator/DavidErrigoJr (''X-Men '97'') (English)

* BadBoss: Generally tends to threaten his workers with death for annoying him. Even Spiral isn't entirely immune; if it weren't for her powers making her useful to him, he'd kill her too. When he returns in ''97'' his only remaining employee is Spiral, who claims that he killed everyone else on the tech crew for failing to debug the "Motendo" game.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: Despite being ''very'' LaughablyEvil and seemingly a buffoon at first, he proves no less dangerous than the serious villains.
* FormerlyFat: In "Motendo" he's considerably thinner, with his skin is hanging off his bones, because the lower ratings for his shows have drained his energy. Forcing Jubilee and Roberto to play "Motendo" is such a big hit that he instantly regains all of his lost weight.
* ImmoralRealityShow: His gameshows are basically {{snuff film}}s, as, despite being holograms [[YourMindMakesItReal they can actually kill people]]. While [[PlotArmor all of the X-Men survive]], it's likely most of his "contestants" weren't so lucky.
* LaughablyEvil: He's basically a parody of a game show host, but is [[NotSoHarmlessVillain still pretty deadly.]]
* NoIndoorVoice: Seriously, trying to find a moment where he's not shouting like a madman is an exercise in futility
* NonIndicativeName: "Mojo" is slang for magic, yet he has no magical powers whatsoever.
* SmarmyHost: He's a pretty big sleazebag.
* StarfishAliens: He's a {{fat|Bastard}}, slimy guy with a [[{{Cyborg}} robotic scorpion-spider]] for a lower body.
* WalkingWasteland: His just arriving on Earth causes all the nearby wildlife to wither and die.

%%[[caption-width-right:973:some caption text]]
* CantKillYouStillNeedYou: Her ability to teleport between dimensions is the only thing keeping Mojo sucking the life out of her.
* DeadlyEuphemism: As an inhabitant of Mojoworld, when she says "cancelled" she means "''kill''".
* DeadpanSnarker: Not above sassing Mojo back, despite knowing what he can and ''would'' do to her given half a chance.
* TheDragon: Mojo's head minion and enforcer, though her loyalty isn't 100% ironclad.
* MultiArmedAndDangerous: Six arms, some of which hold swords. It also makes her quite useful for manning the controls of Mojo's television network (and as a bonus for him, means he has to pay fewer workers).
* WeWillMeetAgain: At the end of "Longshot", she goes home, but tells the X-Men she'll expect a rematch. While she does return in the '''97'' story "Motendo", she doesn't fight any of the X-Men directly.
* WomanScorned: Her first appearance has her walking off with Longshot. Next time around, she's working with Mojo again, and more than happy to try and kill Longshot. His only explanation? "We used to date."

!!!Savage Land
[[folder:Garokk]]
!!Garokk
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/garokk_2.jpg]]

* AdaptationalBadass: In the comics, Garokk is merely a mutated human ([[AmbiguousSituation maybe]]). In the series, he's some kind of supernatural being.
%%* EvilSoundsDeep
* EvilVersusEvil: Gets into a showdown with Sauron over who gets feeding rights in the Savage Land.
* GeniusLoci: Of a sort. He's basically [[SealedEvilInACan trapped in the Savage Land]], but is aware of what happens there and can manifest body parts (such as a giant head or fist) to interact with things. Near the end, he's briefly "freed" and takes the form of a '''huge''' (as in, miles tall) humanoid RockMonster.
* JerkassGods: In ages past, he ruled the Savage Land. What we see is him just shooting bolts of energy at dinosaurs for kicks.
* NearVillainVictory: He came darn close to absorbing all the energy of the Savage Land, which would've been tremendously bad.
* RealAfterAll: He is initially worshiped as a god by the Savage Land natives, who wear necklaces bearing his face. Pretty much everyone else assumes he's just a superstition thought up by the natives (who are basically modern-day cavemen). It turns out he's a real person.
* SealedEvilInACan: Millennia ago, the High Evolutionary sealed him in stone (for some reason). He's tetchy about this, but then he did spend all that time still conscious.
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Manipulated Sauron to bring Storm to the Savage Land so her powers could restore him, and once that was done uses this exact phrase word-for-word.

[[folder:Cameron Hodge]]
!!Cameron Hodge
* AdaptationalWimp: Comics Hodge is completely immortal (or as good as) thanks to a DealWithTheDevil, and is a formidable opponent to the X-Men thanks to a mechanical exoskeleton. Show Hodge is mercifully nowhere near as dangerous.
* AnArmAndALeg: He survived getting swept away by a tidal wave, though at the evident cost of... well, an arm and a leg.
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: He first appears as Beast's lawyer. By his second appearance, however, he collaborates with the Genoshan government in the exploitation of mutants.
* CyberneticsEatYourSoul: Although Professor X isn't even certain there was any humanity for him to lose in the first place.
* FauxAffablyEvil: In "Phalanx Covenant", he maintains a sincere attitude despite his sheer monstrous insanity.
-->'''Hodge:''' The beard is a new look, Magneto. It suits you.
* FullyEmbracedFiend: Utterly onboard with the Phalanx goals of assimilating all non-Phalanx, and he's driven to despair at the thought of being brought down to plain flesh and blood again.
* FaceHeelTurn: In his first appearance he's Beast's attorney. In his next appearance he's a villain and a representative of the Genoshan government.
* HumansAreTheRealMonsters: The Phalanx are monstrous, but Hodge's motivation for helping them is so petty and ''insane'' they absolutely pale in comparison.
* OmnicidalManiac: His goal with the Phalanx is to eventually get them to consume all organic life. After all, that way there'll be no more mutants ''anywhere''.
* TheQuisling: Hodge completely willingly sells mankind out to the Phalanx.

%%[[caption-width-right:350:some caption text]]
* GeneralRipper: He seems to think Canada is in some sort of Cold War with America, since he views Logan leaving to join the X-Men as him "defecting", and orders him recovered by force so that Department H can study him to make more superweapons. It's pretty clear he doesn't give a damn about Logan as an individual or a living being.
* ItsAllAboutMe: The General clearly took Logan leaving Department H personally, because it reflected badly on him
* KarmaHoudini: He's still alive by the end of "Repo Man", having not gotten what he wanted and Alpha Flight having learned how scuzzy he is, but there's no clue as to whether anything more will happen to him.

!!Lady Deathstrike / Yuriko Oyama
-->'''Voiced by:''' Tasha Simms.
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lady_deathstrike.jpg]]

* AdaptationalSympathy: Zigzagged. She still wants to kill Logan, but in the comics her reasoning was much less sound, blaming Logan for getting the adamantium bonded to his skeleton simply because she thought the process was based on her father's work. Here, she has the legitimate grief that Logan ''did'' kill her father, even if it overlooks some mitigating circumstances (like, for example, the fact her father was experimenting on Logan).
* CompositeCharacter: With Mariko Yashida.
* CreepilyLongArms: Her cybernetic modifications mean her arms are now super-elongated past the elbow, never mind that her hands and fingers are many times their natural size.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: She cares about the Reavers, and is horrified when the Soul-Drinker consumes them.
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: She's become so warped she can't understand ''why'' Logan would risk his life to save total strangers from getting their souls eaten.
* FemmeFatalons: Thanks to some cybernetic enhancements, her fingers are now unnaturally long, and capable of extending further for the purposes of clawing.
* IOweYouMyLife: Much as she may want revenge on Logan, when he saves her from the Soul-Drinker, she acknowledges she owes him, and therefore will not kill him... ''today''.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: No application of NeverSayDie for her.
* PsychoExGirlfriend: Before the whole Weapon X debacle, Logan and Yuriko had a thing together. Now Yuriko becomes Lady Deathstrike in order to kill Wolverine.
* ThatManIsDead: She's quite emphatic to Logan that Yuriko is gone now.
* YouKilledMyFather: Wants to kill Wolverine on account of killing her father in his escape from Weapon X.

* CompositeCharacter: His role as the one responsible for the events that cause Jean to become Phoenix are also taken from Steven Lang.
* KnowWhenToFoldEm: Initially hires Black Tom and Juggernaut to capture Lilanda, but when Tom asks for payment he tries to kill him. A little squeezing from Juggernaut makes him change his mind and pay up.
* PunyHumans: Erik despises humanity, and several years spying on us has done absolutely nothing to change his opinion.
* ReassignedToAntarctica: Apparently not for any screw-up, but Earth's a primitive backwater and he's itching at the chance to show D'Ken he can be more useful elsewhere.

[[folder:D'Ken]]
!!Emperor D'Ken
-->'''Voiced by:''' Ryan Stewart
* AdaptationalBadass: Comic D'Ken was pretty powerless when up close and personal. Here, he manages to get his hands on the M'Kraan Crystal and it makes him a serious threat, along with RealityWarper powers.
* ArcVillain: He's the main villain of the Phoenix Saga in season 3, seeking the M'Kraan Crystal to destroy and remake the universe. An argument could be made for him being the main villain of the entire season: on top of his arc being the longest of the whole show, his villainy leads into Phoenix possessing Jean and beginning its own downfall to insanity, while the episode "Orphan's End" continues to deal with the aftermath of his reign.
* CainAndAbel: After Lilandra rebels against him, he orders her killed.
* TheCaligula: Apparently his reign has killed millions. Not content with being the undisputed ruler of his people, he decided to go after the M'Kraan Crystal, not remotely caring about the warnings it could destroy everything.
* DiscOneFinalBoss: D'ken serves as the main threat for the first half of the Phoenix story arc that spans season 3, as it is his machinations that bring Lilandra and the Phoenix Force itself to Earth. After his defeat, the Phoenix goes insane and becomes the new villain.
* FateWorseThanDeath: Thanks to Phoenix, he's sealed away inside the M'Kraan Crystal, now totally powerless, and the Crystal is sealed inside the sun, so no-one's coming to get him, and he's not getting out.
* ILied: Corsair calls him, promising (falsely) to hand over the Crystal if he gets paid. D'Ken swears he will, apparently a serious statement for Shi'ar, but as soon as the call's over tells Gladiator he wants him to kill Corsair. Of course, Corsair figured he'd do this anyway. He just wanted a shot at D'Ken.

* {{Determinator}}: Of the "too stubborn to quit" variety. Even after her latest plan has gone belly up, she still tries lunging at Lilandra, even when Gladiator's in the room.
* EasilyForgiven: Despite the whole attempted coup, by the time of '''97'', she's allowed to take part in military operations, and roam around the Throneworld, which allows her to do her best to sabotage her sister.
* FantasticRacism: Despises anyone who's not a Shi'ar, and opposes her sister's marriage to Charles simply out of petty hatred for him being a human.
* UnwittingPawn: Apocalypse promised to help her kill Lilandra and allow her to take over the Shi'ar Empire. Instead, she was just a means for Apocalypse traverse deep space and [[spoiler:abduct Oracle for his Axis of Time plot]].

* TheBrute: He has extreme SuperStrength, being able to punch a ''tank'' in two. He's also NighInvulnerable, his only weakness is mental attacks, and a wears a helmet that lets him NoSell them unless it's removed.
* TheBully: He's little more than an overgrown schoolyard bully, who just smashes anything that irritates him, and takes whatever he wants by force. Even as a kid he was a BigBrotherBully to Xavier.
* DumbMuscle: He's not very bright, and, fittingly, his weakness is psychic attacks.
* FreudianExcuse: Xavier's stepfather was an {{abusive|Parents}} GoldDigger who was really mean to Cain Marko (his original name) and viewed him as TheUnfavorite, which led to his enmity with Charles and general villainy.
* TheJuggernaut: In his debut, he destroys tanks, defeats Colossus, shrugs off Storm dropping a building on him, and even Rogue's energy draining power doesn't affect him because he has too much power for her to handle. After Jubilee mistakenly assumes getting a building dropped on Juggernaut killed him, Storm explains she knew that wouldn't work because nothing the X-Men know of can kill him. One would expect nothing less from the TropeNamer.
* {{Leitmotif}}: He has a very ominous three-note "song" that's played when's on-screen or being discussed. For some reason, it only shows up in his first episode.
* PetTheDog: In "Return Of The Juggernaut" someone steals the Ruby Of Cyttorak, and Juggernaut is BroughtDownToNormal, and eventually starts dying. The X-Men get the Ruby back, and Juggernaut just leaves without wrecking anything or hurting anyone. While this would usually be considered basic human decency, it's a surprisingly nice OutOfCharacter moment for him, and Xavier even says it's "his way of saying thank you."

* AllThereInTheManual: Is never actually identified by name in "Family Ties".

* KarmaHoudini: He accomplishes his goal in "Family Ties" and escapes, after having caused a considerable amount of pain to Magneto and the twins, and is never seen again (although since he isn't ruling the world in later episodes, it can be taken as read his overall scheme didn't work).
* ManipulativeBastard: Suckers Pietro and Wanda into attacking Magneto so he can capture him, and then captures them as well.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Wants to replace humanity with ani-men as the dominant species because he believes they'll be purer of intention.

* EvilCannotComprehendGood: [[spoiler:When finally called out on his mountain of lies, he tells Storm he ''had'' to enslave his planet's neighbours, because they did it first, and every strong empire has to enslave ''someone''. Ororo does not agree]].
* HadToBeSharp: He insists to Ororo that his occasional displays of bad temper are because of the long history Polemachus has with their neighbour. This is total bunk.
* HairTriggerTemper: His "servants" are utterly terrified at all times, probably because he'll torture them with little to no provocation, such as walking in on him sweet-talking his fiancée.
* LargeAndInCharge: He's quite big. Storm's not exactly slight herself, being 5'11, and he's at least a head taller than her.
* LaserGuidedKarma: [[spoiler:In the end, Storm destroys the device powering his armies and keeping his slaves from rebelling or escaping]].
* OffstageVillainy: The leader of the Polemachus resistance states that thousands have died at the hands of Arkon's robot guards.
* SkewedPriorities: One of his advisers tells him the whole problem with Polemachus tearing itself apart is because of the giant energy generator he set up, and the easiest way to fix the problem would be ''turn the damn thing off''. He refuses point-blank.

%%[[caption-width-right:680:some caption text]]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/LawrenceBayne
* AdaptationalVillainy: In the comics, Denti was a VigilanteMan who targetted fugitive mutants who had escaped the law, and his primary conflict with the X-Men was over how brutal his methods were. Here, he's a proud member of the [[ANaziByAnyOtherName heavily Nazi-coded]] Friends of Humanity and a proudly open bigot towards ''all'' mutants.
* AngryWhiteMan: He's an Aryan-looking fellow that whines about how regular humans have it way worse than mutants.
* BadassNormal: A member of the Friends of Humanity who arms himself with weaponry built from reverse-engineered Sentinel technology as well as mutant inhibitor collars, which he uses [[spoiler:to successfully strip Storm of her powers.]]
* CanonCharacterAllAlong: He's just some nameless [=FoH=] bigot in the first episode, until the credits identify him as Carl Denti. The next time we see him, he dons the costume of the X-Cutioner.
* DirtyCoward: He showed a lot of bravado with his various weapons and anti-mutant gadgetry, take that away and he doesn't feel like quipping anymore.
* {{Hypocrite}}: He criticizes mutants for constantly whining about their problems...which he's basically doing by complaining about how much harder normal people have it. Not only that, he complans that his kind has it harder than them, citing their powers, but he goes after Roberto who has been shown to not be a threat to humans.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: He's introduced as just another dime-a-dozen bigot who gets his butt easily handed to him when the X-Men arrive. Then he actually learns from the experience and in his next appearance arrives outfitted with weaponry that allow him to defend against and counteract the X-Men's abilities [[spoiler:and even seemingly permanently strips Storm of her powers]].
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Gives a hateful screed to Cyclops during their fight in "Mutant Liberation Begins", [[AngryWhiteMan claiming that mutants oppression is imaginary and that humans have it worse]].
-->'''X-Cutioner:''' Know what I hate about your kind? You act like you got it so bad. Normal people have it hard, too. Harder! We just have the dignity not to whine about it. You see? It's the whining. I hate your whining just as much as I hate you.
* StarterVillain: The first villain fought in ''X-Men '97'', with the team having to take him down after he kidnaps Roberto.

[[folder:The Adversary]]
!!The Adversary
->'''Voiced by:''' Alison Sealy Smith

* AbnormalLimbRotationRange: Like an actual owl, it can twist its head around a whole 360 degrees.
* AdaptationalWimp: Goes from omniversal level threat who required the X-Men to temporarily sacrifice their lives to a minor demon.
* ADealWithTheDevil: Offers to restore Ororo's lost powers if she'll just let Forge die. [[spoiler:Though as it turns out, Storm's powers had been restored anyway.]]
* EmotionEater: It claims that it feeds on misery, and intends to feast on Storm's despair over her lost powers.
* GenderFlip: Male in the comics, here it's voiced by Alison Sealy Smith.
* OminousOwl: At first it appears as a common owl until it takes on a more monstrous form to attack Storm and Forge.

[[folder:The Sentinel '''(SPOILERS)''']]
!!The Sentinel
-> '''Voiced by:''' Creator/EricBauza

* CompositeCharacter: Has the name of Master Mold, but everything else about it is taken from the giant Wild Sentinels from Grant Morrison's ''New X-Men''.
* DeathByAdaptation: Destroyed when Gambit supercharges it with his mutant power. In the comics, one of the two Wild Sentinels is made self aware by Danger (the Danger Room AI) and, afterwards, leaves for space to ponder the horror of the Genoshan genocide it carried out.
* DiabolusExNihilo: As far as the people of Genosha are concerned. They're just happily minding their own business, throwing a party and just generally living the good life when this thing appears out of ''nowhere'' to annihilate them.
* TheDreaded: This thing's imminent arrival has Cable ''panicking'' -- Cable, who was defiant when facing down Apocalypse.
* DroneDeployer: Thanks to its massive size, it carries a large host of smaller regular Sentinels on the sides of its body to deploy into the fray it creates.
* HeroKiller: Fries Banshee and Marrow with a passing shot, nearly kills Nightcrawler with another, makes a serious effort to get Magneto and may well have succeeded, and definitely ''does'' kill Gambit, plus Madelyne's fate is [[UncertainDoom left uncertain]] after being caught up in its opening attack on Genosha, which all together leaves this thing with ''a massively staggering body count'' compared to any other Sentinel seen yet.
* HoistByTheirOwnPetard: Impaling Gambit backfires on it, since Remy's power allows him to detonate any inorganic material he can touch, and the Sentinel consists of a ''large'' amount of inorganic material.
* HumongousMecha: Even more humongous than Master Mold.
* {{Kaiju}}: The Wild Sentinel is the giant robot equivalent; a monstrously huge thing with an inhuman, bug-like shape. It even shoots energy from its mouth(s), rather than the palms like its smaller counterparts, mainly because it doesn't ''have'' arms.
* KillerRobot: Even more so than its predecessors. Regular Sentinels tend to introduce themselves by telling whoever they're attacking to surrender. This thing doesn't do that; it just immediately shoots to kill with overwhelming force.
* KnightOfCerebus: The Sentinel gets introduced in '''97'' and proceeds to drastically darken the story by achieving a horrifyingly large body count, among them Gambit.
* MechanicalMonster: A gigantic three-headed robot with a vaguely beetle-like body programed to carry out a genocide.
* MookMaker: It's large enough to function as a carrier for more Sentinels, deploying them to hunt down any mutants on Genosha who it hasn't already gotten.
* MultipleHeadCase: Has three heads, each of which is armed.
* NoNameGiven: The character is not named on screen in "Remember It" but is called "Master Mold" by Bolivar Trask in "Lifedeath Pt. II" and in the credits for "Remember It". However, since "Master Mold" is a completely differently designed machine altogether, other names have been given to separate this one with the normal kind.
* SicklyGreenGlow: Instead of the red energy blasts of the smaller regular Sentinels and Master Mold, its eyes and the energy it emits glow an unpleasant green.
* SuperSenses: The Sentinel's defensive capabilities are absurd, able to perceive ''any'' hostile intent towards it regardless of whether it can physically see them at the time and immediately retaliate with extreme prejudice. This does get [[DeconstructedTrope deconstructed]] somewhat because it will abandon ''all'' prior interests and concerns in favor of immediately targeting the presence threatening it at the time, as Gambit manages to exploit during his HeroicSacrifice.
* WalkingSpoiler: Doesn't get much bigger than being a massive HeroKiller of numerous mutants, including presumably Magneto and definitely Gambit, while leveling most of Genosha to the ground.
* WaveMotionGun: Its primary weapon is a gigantic energy beam fired from the mouth of its heads. Usually, one blast is enough to kill whoever it hits in an instant, and if that doesn't, the enormous blast wave afterwards might finish the job. When it detects Magneto, it just keeps firing and firing until it's absolutely ''certain'' he is dead.

[[folder:Juggernaut]]
!!Juggernaut/Cain Marko
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/RickBennet
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jugger.jpg]]

* BerserkButton: Don't ''ever'' call him a mutant. He is a regular human powered by a mystical gem.
* TheBrute: He has extreme SuperStrength, being able to punch a ''tank'' in two. He's also NighInvulnerable, his only weakness is mental attacks, and a wears a helmet that lets him NoSell them unless it's removed.
* TheBully: He's little more than an overgrown schoolyard bully, who just smashes anything that irritates him, and takes whatever he wants by force. Even as a kid he was a BigBrotherBully to Xavier.
* DumbMuscle: He's not very bright, and, fittingly, his weakness is psychic attacks.
* FreudianExcuse: Xavier's stepfather was an {{abusive|Parents}} GoldDigger who was really mean to Cain Marko (his original name) and viewed him as TheUnfavorite, which led to his enmity with Charles and general villainy.
* TheJuggernaut: In his debut, he destroys tanks, defeats Colossus, shrugs off Storm dropping a building on him, and even Rogue's energy draining power doesn't affect him because he has too much power for her to handle. After Jubilee mistakenly assumes getting a building dropped on Juggernaut killed him, Storm explains she knew that wouldn't work because nothing the X-Men know of can kill him. One would expect nothing less from the TropeNamer.
* {{Leitmotif}}: He has a very ominous three-note "song" that's played when's on-screen or being discussed. For some reason, it only shows up in his first episode.
* PetTheDog: In "Return Of The Juggernaut" someone steals the Ruby Of Cyttorak, and Juggernaut is BroughtDownToNormal, and eventually starts dying. The X-Men get the Ruby back, and Juggernaut just leaves without wrecking anything or hurting anyone. While this would usually be considered basic human decency, it's a surprisingly nice OutOfCharacter moment for him, and Xavier even says it's "his way of saying thank you."
-->'''Wolverine:''' ''(extends his claws)'' Make your move, tough guy!\\
'''Juggernaut:''' Another time, short stuff! When I'm in the mood. ''(leaves)''
* ThrewMyBikeOnTheRoof: His [[EstablishingCharacterMoment first act in the series]] is to demolish Xavier' school, basically just to be a dick.
* TheWorfEffect: While Juggernaut initially appears unstoppable to anything short of a psychic attack, he is flattened by Gladiator to demonstrate how strong the alien is, and by extension, the danger of the [=Shi'ar=].

[[folder:The Savage Land Mutates]]
!!Barbarus, Brainchild, Lupo, Amphibius

* BeastMan: Lupo is a white-haired wolf man.
* FrogMen: Amphibius is a human-sized frog person.
* MultiArmedAndDangerous: Barbarus' mutation.
* MyBrainIsBig: Brainchild's mutation is an enlarged cranium, though he doesn't seem to particularly serve as TheSmartGuy.
* QuirkyMinibossSquad: Doing double-duty with Sinister's other squad, the Nasty Boys.
* TurnedAgainstTheirMasters: Magneto created them, but in his long absence they turned against him and joined up with Sinister.
[[/folder]]

* HateSink: In ''X-Men '97''. In contrast to his original incarnation, who was still a villain but had a few redeeming qualities, this new version is both terrifying and made to be as despised as possible. [[spoiler:That he was responsible for the genocide on Genosha that claimed the lives of countless mutants, [[HeroKiller including Magneto and Gambit]], only cements this.]]

* AdaptationalVillainy: Arkon has occasionally troubled the Avengers in the comics, but usually because he's been duped, and more often than not is a good guy and ally to Marvel's heroes. Not so much here.

[[folder:The Tri-Sentinel '''(SPOILERS)''']]
!!The Tri-Sentinel

* CompositeCharacter: Has the name of the Tri-Sentinel, typically a Spidey enemy created by Loki messing around, but everything else about it is taken from the giant Wild Sentinels from Grant Morrison's ''New X-Men''.

* HoistByTheirOwnPetard: Impaling Gambit backfires on it, since Remy's power allows him to detonate any inorganic material he can touch, and the Tri-Sentinel consists of a ''large'' amount of inorganic material.

* KnightOfCerebus: The Tri-Sentinel gets introduced in '''97'' and proceeds to drastically darken the story by achieving a horrifyingly large body count, among them Gambit.

* NoNameGiven: The character is not named on screen in "Remember It" but is called "Master Mold" by Boliver Trask in "Lifedeath Pt. II" and in the credits for "Remember It". However, since "Master Mold" is a completely differently designed machine altogether, other names have been given to separate this one with the normal kind. This page refers to it as "Tri-Sentinel" due to its working three heads while the Fandom wiki page Marvel Database calls it "Master Mold Wild Sentinel", due to its resemblance to the Wild Sentinel.

* SuperSenses: The Tri-Sentinel's defensive capabilities are absurd, able to perceive ''any'' hostile intent towards it regardless of whether it can physically see them at the time and immediately retaliate with extreme prejudice. This does get [[DeconstructedTrope deconstructed]] somewhat because it will abandon ''all'' prior interests and concerns in favor of immediately targeting the presence threatening it at the time, as Gambit manages to exploit during his HeroicSacrifice.

This page refers to it as "Tri-Sentinel" due to its working three heads while the Fandom wiki page Marvel Database calls is "Master Mold Wild Sentinel", due to its resemblance to the Wild Sentinel.

* AdaptationalVillainy: On the other hand, [[spoiler:''X-Men '97'' has him being far more cruel and creepy than his original depiction, gleefully destroying the lives of many of the X-Men, particularly Morph, Jean and Scott, for his own twisted ends, and he is revealed to be the mastermind behind the Genosha massacre.]]

* CardCarryingVillain: His name is MISTER SINISTER for crying out loud. [[That and the fact he is the mastermind of the genocide of Genosha doesn't say heroism and love.]]

* AdaptationalVillainy: As is so often the case, Bolivar's not-unfounded reasons for creating Sentinels, the sympathetic backstory is completely omitted here.

* OminousOwl: At first it appears as a common Owl until it takes on a more monstrous form to attack Storm and Forge.

* BigBadWannabe: Gyrich's partner in creating the Sentinels and attempting to get government support for their mass production, but the pair prove incapable of controlling their creations. He manages to build a subordinate Master Mold in the '''97'' premiere, but the X-Men quickly find and destroy it before the Sentinels can take action against mutantkind.

* ArcVillain: Sinister is the primary villain of the second season. He's the new ruler of the Savage Land responsible for stranding Xavier and Magneto in his domain, and he repeatedly attempts to capture Scott and Jean so as to harvest their genetic material for the creation of a master race. [[spoiler:He also is revealed to be the primary villain of the first season of '''97'', with him behind the attack on Genosha after kidnapping Trask for his Sentinel knowledge to help him with his [[{{Pun}} sinister]] plans.]]

* EvenEvilHasStandards: [[spoiler:Despite being firmly against mutantkind by having created the Sentinels, even he seems the attack on Genosha that was ochestrated by Mr. Sinister went too far beyond reason and is willing to [[DeathSeeker even accept]] ''[[DeathSeeker death]]'' than continue working for him.]]

* HealingFactor: He can shake off all sorts of energy blasts or Wolverine's claws. A blast from Cyclops takes him much longer to recover from, though.

* FaceHeelTurn: In his first appereance he's Beast's attorney. In his next appearance he's a villain and a representative of the Genoshan government.

-->'''Wolverine:''' ''(as Nimrod's already charging up an attack)'' That itty bitty soupcan? Given me five seconds with him and I'll- ''(Nimrod smacks Logan upside the head with an energy whip)''

* LaughablyEvil: He's basically a parody of a gameshow host, but is [[NotSoHarmlessVillain still pretty deadly.]]

* IgnoredEpiphany: During "The Final Decision" he realizes the Sentinels he's created are far worse than any mutant could ever be. On his reappearance in '''97'', he's once again gone off the deep end, ranting about how mutants need to be exterminated and building more Sentinels.

* ColdHam: Dramatic, but measured,
