| 22 | * HistoricalDomainCharacter: As one of the most (in)famous leaders in the 1970s. |

| 53 | |
| 54 | -> For tropes applying to Moira in the original timeline erased by ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', see the [[Characters/XMenFilmSeriesHumansOriginalTimeline Humans (Original Timeline)]] page. |
| 55 | ---- |
| 56 | * ActionMom: She already has a son by the time the X-Men contacts her again in 1983. Charles' spirit sort of wavers at this one, but he regains it back when she says that she has divorced her husband. In Cairo, Moira is unarmed and covered in a niqab that hinders her movements somewhat, and she's able to disarm a man larger than she is and render him unconscious. |
| 57 | * AdaptationalJobChange: Most incarnations of Moira (including the version of her from ''The Last Stand'' are scientists. In ''First Class'' and ''Apocalypse'', she's an agent of the CIA. |
| 58 | * AdaptationalNationality: Moira is American in the movie-verse, but in the comics, she was Scottish. |
| 59 | * AdaptationNameChange: [=MacTaggert=] is her maiden name instead of Kinross. She got married and divorced within the 21-year gap between ''Film/XMenFirstClass'' and ''Film/XMenApocalypse'', and she is referred to as Agent [=MacTaggert=] before her marriage and after her divorce. |
| 60 | * AlliterativeName: '''M'''oira '''M'''[=acTaggert=]. |
| 61 | * AmnesiaMissedASpot: |
| 62 | ** At the end of ''Film/XMenFirstClass'', Xavier [[spoiler:wipes her memory to keep the mutants safe from the [=CIA=]. All she remembers is a few glimpses of leaves and Xavier kissing her]]. |
| 63 | ** ''Film/XMenApocalypse'' reveals that [[spoiler:while not remembering mutants, she experiences a déjà vu when she gets to step in Xavier Institute again, suggesting that her memories are merely suppressed in her mind. Charles ultimately restores them at the end, though, so anymore faint recollection is avoided]]. |
| 64 | * TheBusCameBack: She returns in ''Film/XMenApocalypse'' after being absent in ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast''. |
| 65 | * CelebrityParadox: ''Film/XMenApocalypse'' (where Moira also appears) confirms that ''Franchise/StarWars'' exists in the ''Film/XMenFilmSeries'' as Scott, Jean, Kurt, and Jubilee watch ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi'' in it. Creator/RoseByrne played Dormé in ''Film/AttackOfTheClones''. |
| 66 | * DirtyHarriet: In order to infiltrate a Hellfire Club private party, she strips down to her undergarments and pretends to be one of the call-girls. Done fairly well as it's shown that she's not all that comfortable with it and is ''acutely'' aware of how vulnerable she is. |
| 67 | * EightiesHair: In ''X-Men: Apocalypse'', Rose Byrne likens Moira's career-minded hairstyle to ''Film/WorkingGirl''. |
| 68 | * FamilyVersusCareer: ''Film/XMenApocalypse'' reveals that she was married and has a son, but she got divorced because her priority is on her career at the CIA. |
| 69 | -->'''Moira:''' I had a husband, but it's hard to do this job and make it home in time for dinner. |
| 70 | * ImpliedLoveInterest: For Charles. They did kiss in ''First Class'', but [[DidNotGetTheGirl didn't end up together]]. [[spoiler:''Apocalypse'' confirms that they are romantically attached, but nothing comes of their relationship in ''Dark Phoenix''.]] |
| 71 | * InHarmsWay: When she sees that the Hellfire Club is clearly up to no good in her intro scene in ''Film/XMenFirstClass'', she goes undercover and is always brave when facing danger. |
| 72 | * InNameOnly: Outside of her name, she has nothing in common with with her comic book counterpart (who is Scottish and a scientist). |
| 73 | * LaserGuidedAmnesia: [[spoiler:Charles uses a kiss goodbye to wipe out her memories of the last few weeks, including where he and the newly formed X-Men are. He decides to reverse this at the end of ''Apocalypse''.]] |
| 74 | * LingerieScene: Her Hellfire Club infiltration technique. |
| 75 | * MarriedToTheJob: Her reason for divorcing her husband before the events of ''Film/XMenApocalypse''; she can't maintain a stable family life while juggling a profession as a CIA agent. |
| 76 | * OlderThanTheyLook: She has barely aged since the [[Film/XMenFirstClass Cuban Missile Crisis]] because [[Film/XMenApocalypse 21 years later]], she looks almost the same. |
| 77 | * PsychicStrangle: She experiences a variation of this in ''Film/XMenFirstClass''. [[spoiler:When she attacks Magneto, he deflects the bullets she fires, one of which hits Charles in the back. In a rage, Erik magnetically uses her dog tag chain to strangle her, but Charles manages to talk him down.]] |
| 78 | * PutOnABus: She doesn't appear in ''Days of Future Past'' or ''Dark Phoenix''. |
| 79 | * RuleOfSexy: In ''Apocalypse'', Moira is pushing 50, but Byrne was not given any ageing make-up, and there is very little grey in her hair. |
| 80 | * SeekerArchetype: |
| 81 | ** ''Film/XMenFirstClass'': She fearlessly heads into the Hellfire Club and suits up with the rest of Division X to fight Shaw. |
| 82 | ** ''Film/XMenApocalypse'': She investigates the cult of En Sabah Nur on her lonesome and without a weapon. When Apocalypse awakens, she manages to get away (while his followers are buried from the cavern's collapse). Then there's the fact that she's the sole human in the fight against Apocalypse and does ''not'' flinch even when she sees him smacking around the X-Men like toys... |
| 83 | * SparedByTheAdaptation: She survived both of her appearances. Though as with the Moira of ''Film/XMenTheLastStand'', it should be noted "at the time", as it wouldn't be until the events of ''ComicBook/XMen2019'' that it'd be retconned that she faked her death in the "Dream's End" arc. |
| 84 | * TeamMom: In ''Film/XMenFirstClass'', with Xavier as the TeamDad and Lehnsherr as... the Team Cool Uncle? |
| 85 | * TearsOfJoy: In ''Film/XMenApocalypse'', [[spoiler:she experiences this when Charles restores the memories of their romantic relationship in 1962]]. |
| 86 | * TokenHuman: She is the only non-mutant ally of the X-Men in ''Film/XMenFirstClass'' and ''Film/XMenApocalypse''. |
| 87 | * UndercoverModel: An impromptu one in ''Film/XMenFirstClass'' where she sees their lead going into a strip club and so strips down to her underwear and follows him in. |
| 88 | * UnfazedEveryman: Definitely gets this title in ''Film/XMenApocalypse'' as she faces off against Apocalypse without the slightest indication of fear, even when she has already witnessed how he can turn the whole world upside down with just a flick of a finger... |
| 89 | * UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: After mutants became public knowledge in 1973, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pastin69D5c a cult was formed to worship En Sabah Nur]], and her investigation in ''Film/XMenApocalypse'' inadvertently awakens him because his followers always cover up the entrance to his resting place, but she had left it exposed to sunlight, which reanimates him. |
| 90 | * WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Moira is mysteriously absent from ''Dark Phoenix'', without getting so much as a mention in spite of her somewhat prominent role in ''Apocalypse''. |

| 104 | * DroppedABridgeOnHim: He is introduced as being a potential "M" for Xavier's Bond, providing a facility, sponsoring the recruitment of the X-Men, protecting them from the rest of the CIA, and above all he comes across as sympathetic to the mutants.

| 155 | A special task force the US goverment keeps at hand in case of new Mutant troubles in the early 1990s. |
| 156 | ---- |
| 157 | * TheAlcatraz: They have a high security facility where they bring troublesome Mutants (likely something similar to the "Ice Box" prison from ''Film/Deadpool2'', if it's not the very same place). |
| 158 | * CoolTrain: They bring Jean Grey, the X-Men and Magneto to a high security facility onboard an armored train. Which gets attacked by the D'Bari on the way to the facility. |
| 159 | * CrazyPrepared: The US government has trusted Charles Xavier since 1983 and the X-Men are hailed as heroes now... but it kept these anti-Mutant tech equipped guys at hand, just in case. The occasion sadly arises with Jean Grey running amok... |
| 160 | * FunWithAcronyms: '''M'''utant '''C'''ontainment '''U'''nit is what is taking the mutants away. As in '''M'''arvel '''C'''inematic '''U'''niverse. Subtle. |
| 161 | * MoreDakka: They pack some Browning .50 caliber machine guns onboard the train and onboard their helicopters, which prove much more useful against the D'Bari than their assault rifles. |
| 162 | * MythologyGag: They have a similar motif and role as the Mutant Response Division from ''WesternAnimation/{{Wolverine and the X|Men2009}}-Men''. |
| 163 | * PowerNullifier: The collars that inhibit Mutant powers made by Trask Industries decidedly haven't been shelved (they would be reused again at the Ice Box prison a few decades later). These guys carry some of them around to use on Mutants in case of troubles. |
| 164 | * RedShirtArmy: They become technically this the second they decide to free the Mutants they hold prisoners in order to fight off the D'Bari aliens. |
| 165 | * TakeThat: These guys were added during the film's reshoots, which happened [[invoked]][[RealitySubtext when it was clear that Fox was about to be bought]] by Creator/{{Disney}}. Their unit's name is meant as a humorous jab at Disney's crown jewel, the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse, which will take the X-Men away from Fox and reboot them in its continuity a couple of years down the line. |

| 178 | The owner of [[MegaCorp Trask Industries]] who created the Sentinels. |
| 179 | ---- |
| 180 | * AdaptationalVillainy: While in the original comic book Trask wasn't a good guy by any means, he did eventually come to realise that Mutants are not a threat to humanity and [[spoiler:even performed a HeroicSacrifice to stop the Sentinels]]. Neither of those happen in the movie. |
| 181 | * AdmiringTheAbomination: How he views the mutants. |
| 182 | * AffablyEvil: He is polite, believes in world peace, and does not even hate mutants. However, he still allows often fatal experiments on mutants to achieve this end. |
| 183 | * AntiVillain: Unlike other characters obsessed in exterminating the mutants, he does so not out of hatred, but a desire to see humanity united against a common threat, and actually admires mutants for helping him accomplish that goal. Pity he has no empathy... |
| 184 | * ApocalypseMaiden: He's a male example. [[spoiler:His murder by Mystique will generate a CrapsackWorld where mutants and humans who are carriers of the X-gene are slaughtered en masse, leaving only the worst of humanity in charge.]] |
| 185 | * BigBadEnsemble: For ''Days of Future Past'', opposite Mystique and young Magneto. |
| 186 | * BlackVikings: A variant; Trask's dwarfism is never acknowledged or presented in the film proper, and is clearly something that affects the actor and not the role. |
| 187 | * CompositeCharacter: Takes the place of Senator Kelly, the person whose murder led to the BadFuture in the comics. |
| 188 | * DepravedDwarf: He's abnormally short (4.5 ft or a tad more than 137 cm), performs cruel and deadly experiments on unwilling mutant test subjects, constructs robots to hunt them, and tries to give these weapons to his country's enemies on his crusade against mutants. |
| 189 | * DontCreateAMartyr: The plot of ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'' is driven by the need to stop Mystique from killing him, the creator of the Sentinel program, because his death at the hands of a mutant will only drive others to finish his work. |
| 190 | * FantasticRacism: Played with: He reveals to Stryker that he does not hate mutants, even respecting them, but wants to use them in order to make humanity band together, though he still [[LackOfEmpathy thinks of them as research material rather than people.]] Emphasized when Mystique gets into the presidential safe-room, and Trask insists that they not shoot ''[[ItIsDehumanizing it]]'', because he needs her for research purposes. |
| 191 | * FourEyesZeroSoul: See what he had done to [[spoiler:the mutants who were KilledOffScreen between ''First Class'' and ''Days of Future Past'']]. |
| 192 | * GoneHorriblyRight: [[spoiler:Wanted to make the Sentinels to create peace, and got it, in the form of the apocalypse. The peace of the grave.]] |
| 193 | * ItIsDehumanizing: Played with, as he uses gender pronouns when referring to Mystique and her mutation, but slips into "it" when faced with a mutant in person. |
| 194 | * InNameOnly: He was changed from an anthropologist to an industrialist, and pretty much nothing of the original character or his motivations were kept for this version, except that he was involved in building the Sentinels. |
| 195 | * JusticeByOtherLegalMeans: He never suffers legal reprisal for planning to commit genocide on his fellow human beings. [[spoiler:Instead, he goes to prison for trying to pitch his killer robots to the Communist governments after America turns him down.]] |
| 196 | * KarmaHoudini: {{Downplayed}}. [[spoiler:He may have been jailed for selling military secrets to his country's rivals, but the Josef Mengele-style experiments he committed on innocent mutants, the sort of thing one expects to be worthy of the death penalty, are either conveniently forgotten or completely ignored.]] |
| 197 | * KnightTemplar: He's so determined to bring about world peace that he's willing to perform horrific experiments on mutants to advance scientific knowledge. [[spoiler:And when his own country's president refuses to accept his Sentinel program, he tries to sell it to the Communists in hopes that they will be more understanding.]] |
| 198 | * LackOfEmpathy: His main character flaw. Suffice to say, when someone with such high goals isn't the least bit stirred with BodyHorror and other suffering, [[KnightTemplar there's a bit of a problem]]… |
| 199 | * MadScientist: His main scientific objective seems to be genocide-via-robot, though he's rather subdued for the archetype. |
| 200 | * {{Pornstache}}: Well, the film is set in the 70s, after all. Screen Junkies even calls him a "tiny [[Film/AnchormanTheLegendOfRonBurgundy Ron Burgundy]]" in their Honest Trailer for ''X-Men: Days of Future Past''. |
| 201 | * VillainousBreakdown: He has a mild one when Magneto commandeers his Sentinels. When President Nixon (rightly) asks him what the hell is going on when they open fire on the crowd, Trask [[NotSoStoic irritably replies]] "I'll fix it!" |
| 202 | * VisionaryVillain: He genuinely believes that uniting humanity against mutantkind is the gateway to creating world peace. |
| 203 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: He is an interesting case in that he is not motivated by the typical villain desires of money or power, but he genuinely believes that fighting the mutants will unify humanity and end such conflicts as the Cold War. |
| 204 | * YouDontLookLikeYou: Bolivar Trask previously appeared in ''Film/XMenTheLastStand'' as a large [[RaceLift black]] man, rather than a white man with dwarfism. You can't even blame the film's time-travel shenanigans on this discrepancy, since this Trask is the reason they happened in the first place. |

| 234 | * CorporateConspiracy: They practice research and experiments on Mutants, and run a genuine torture facility under the cover of an orphanage. They also seem to be connected with [[Characters/XMenFilmSeriesTransigen Transigen]], as the blood sample they took from Wolverine ended up in the hands of the latter. |
| 235 | * CovertGroupWithMundaneFront: They have a facility for torture and experiments disguised as an orphanage. |
| 236 | * EarlyBirdCameo: In ''X-Men: Apocalypse'', sometime after the incident that saw Wolverine bloodily escape William Stryker's facility at Alkali lake, a team of hazmat workers collects the various mutant blood samples left behind and store them in a briefcase labeled "Essex Corp". It was the first time that name showed up in the franchise. |
| 237 | * EqualOpportunityEvil: [[spoiler:Although they experiment on and exploit Mutants, they have no problem employing one, as Cecelia Reyes proves.]] |
| 238 | * TheGhost: Nathaniel Essex himself never appears in person, although his influence is present in all of his company's sinister deeds.[[note]]Creator/JonHamm had been cast to portray Essex in ''Film/TheNewMutants'', but the film's complicated production led to his scenes being cut, if they were filmed at all[[/note]] |
| 239 | * GreaterScopeVillain: The organization have been involved with many shady experiments with Mutants and may have been involved with the creation of [[Film/{{Logan}} the X-23 children]] as Logan's blood sample that they collected during the stinger of ''Film/XMenApocalypse'' somehow ended up at the hands of Transigen which may be a subsidiary or successor of the organization. [[spoiler:''Film/TheNewMutants'' shows that they also employ Dr. Cecelia Reyes to study young mutants for Essex's sinister ends, as well as confirming Essex's connection to Transigen via archive footage from ''Logan''.]] |
| 240 | * KnightOfCerebus: ''Deadpool 2'' is an action comedy at the core, but these guys bring the evergreen (and dead serious) [[FantasticRacism persecution of Mutants]] of the ''X-Men'' films to it. |
| 241 | * MythologyGag: [[spoiler:Their corporate logo, as seen in ''The New Mutants'', is a diamond-like symbol that resembles the gem embedded in Mister Sinister's forehead in the comics.]] |
| 242 | * OrphanageOfFear: They run a genuine torture facility for Mutants under the cover of an orphanage. Russell and [[spoiler:Domino]] spent time there, unfortunately. |
| 243 | * PowerNullifier: They developed collars that nullify mutant powers and provide them to Icebox Prison. They might also have created those seen in the BadFuture of ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast''. |
| 244 | * PragmaticVillainy: [[spoiler:They want powerful mutants, but Dani Moonstar's uncontrollable and dangerous abilities make her more of a liability than an asset, so her superiors order her to terminate Dani (although not without taking more DNA samples for study).]] |
| 245 | * WouldHurtAChild: |
| 246 | ** Their operations in ''Film/Deadpool2'' prove that they have no problems with the abuse and torture of children. |
| 247 | ** [[spoiler:The final act of ''Film/TheNewMutants'' is kicked off when Dr. Reyes' bosses give the order to kill the teenaged Dani Moonstar.]] |

| 251 | !!Nathaniel Essex |
| 252 | !!!'''Played By:''' Creator/JonHamm (reportedly) |
| 253 | !!!'''Film Appearances:''' ''Film/X2XMenUnited'' (mentioned) |
| 254 | A mutant who owns the Essex Corporation. |
| 255 | ---- |
| 256 | * AbortedArc: After his corporation debuted in TheStinger of ''Film/XMenApocalypse'', he was going to make appearances in the planned ''ComicBook/{{Gambit}}'' film and the potential sequels to ''Film/TheNewMutants'', but all of these projects were cancelled when Disney shelved the film series. |
| 257 | * AdaptationSpeciesChange: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]], possibly. While he was a human who later turned into a mutant through cloning in the comics, this version of Nathaniel isn't specified to be a natural-born mutant or a human who later mutated himself (though the latter seems improbable, considering what happens to humans if transformed into mutants like Senator Kelly in Film/XMen1). |
| 258 | * GreaterScopeVillain: |
| 259 | ** In ''Film/{{Logan}}'', according to WordOfGod, it was his corporation, likely under his directive, the ones that supplied Alkali-Transigen with Wolverine's DNA, which they got from blood samples they collected at the end of ''Film/XMenApocalypse''. This means that Nathaniel, though indirectly, was the one who enabled Zander Rice to create X-23 and X-24. |
| 260 | ** In ''Film/Deadpool2'', while not having a direct influence like in the other films whose events he caused, Nathaniel seems to be the owner of the Essex's Mutant Re-education Center, an orphanage with an abusive headmaster who horribly abuses the mutant kids under his care. The children include Russell Collins, who eventually turned into a serial killer called Firefist in a BadFuture that was fortunately averted by Deadpool, Cable and the X-Men. |
| 261 | ** In ''Film/TheNewMutants'', Nathaniel is heavily hinted to be the superior of Dr. Cecilia Reyes, who is in charge of the Milbury Hospital, which trains troubled mutant teens to mold them into assassins for the Essex Corporation. Essex requests Reyes to execute Dani due to her dangerous powers. |
| 262 | * TheUnseen: Despite his confirmed influence in some installments, Nathaniel never made an onscreen appearance. [[WhatCouldHaveBeen That said, he was actually planned to be physically shown before the film series was cancelled.]] |

| 271 | !!!'''Film Appearances''': ''Film/Deadpool2'' |
| 272 | |
| 273 | An Essex Corp member and the headmaster of the orphanage where Russell spent a good part of his life. |
| 274 | ---- |
| 275 | * AintTooProudToBeg: While he doesn't specifically beg, its clear that he thinks Russel will spare him if he says his catchphrase like he demands. |
| 276 | * AssholeVictim: [[spoiler:Absolutely ''no one'' mourns for him after Dopinder kills him. Not even Colossus complains about it.]] |
| 277 | ** In the BadFuture, [[spoiler:this still qualifies. He is the first kill of Firefist, but Cable mentions his murder is not the real problem, it is that Firefist also targeted innocents later.]] |
| 278 | * BaldOfEvil: He has no hair on the top of his head and abuses the mutants under his charge. |
| 279 | * BigBadEnsemble: The Headmaster is the person responsible for driving Russell to become the terrorist Firefist after killing him. Due to the time travel aspect of the film, he shares the role of antagonist with Cable who comes back to stop Russell from going down his dark path and Russell himself, who's so broken by his abuse he'll crush anyone who tries to stop him from killing the Headmaster. |
| 280 | * BigBadWannabe: While the headmaster is undoubtedly a horrible person that everyone shows contempt for, he’s only a threat to children he has subdued, and is easily dealt with by [[spoiler:Dopinder]] after Wade convinces Russell not to kill him. |
| 281 | * BullyingADragon: He makes a living out of torturing mutant children, some of whom, like Russell, have powers that could quite easily kill him. [[spoiler:After spending the entire climax cowering in fear from a vengeful Russell, he runs after the mutant heroes and screams about how they're abominations that'll get what's coming to them. Cable nearly kills him himself, but Deadpool stops him... only because he's aware Dopinder's about to run him over with his cab.]] |
| 282 | * CarFu: [[spoiler:Dopinder kills him by running him over with his taxi.]] |
| 283 | * CharacterCatchphrase: ''"Blessed are the wicked who are healed by my hands!"'' Later becomes a BorrowedCatchphrase when a vengeful Russell spits the very same words back at him in a show of IronicEcho. |
| 284 | * ContrastingSequelAntagonist: Bizarrely built up as one to Bolivar Trask. Both of them are {{Mad Scientist}}s who experimented and/or tortured mutants, with their actions causing a mutant to attempt to assassinate them, where in a BadFuture said mutant succeeds and causes the apocalypse. The difference lies in that while Trask was a WellIntentionedExtremist who tortured Mystique for the more pragmatic reason of understanding her biology, the Headmaster was merely a racist who viewed mutation like a curse and those afflicted deserved to be tortured. In addition, Trask's assassination was prevented, while the Headmaster ended up being killed by a different party after his initial death was averted. |
| 285 | * DirtyCoward: Has no problem torturing hapless mutants under his care, but runs away in fear when one tries to kill him |
| 286 | * DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: A religious fundamentalist who runs an orphanage that "cures" mutants. It's pretty clearly an analogy for gay conversion therapy. |
| 287 | * {{Expy}}: His fanatical religious views on mutants resembled William Stryker from the original comics. Fairly justified, considering that Stryker in the movies was changed from TheFundamentalist to a GeneralRipper. |
| 288 | * FantasticRacism: Yet another MadScientist who wants to see Mutants disappear from the face of the Earth. |
| 289 | ** At one point he says "They will not replace us.", a common white supremacist slogan, notably used in the Charlottesville riots of 2017. Though of course, rather than non-white immigrants, he's referring to mutants. |
| 290 | * FauxAffablyEvil: He acts like a kindly grandfather, but it fails to hide what a truly vile individual he is. |
| 291 | * FourEyesZeroSoul: He has glasses, and experiments on/tortures Mutants while preaching how they are abominations. |
| 292 | * TheFundamentalist: Turns out to be a Bible-thumping lunatic who thinks mutants are abominations and have to be tortured to make them conform. |
| 293 | %%A GreaterScopeVillain has to remain active and be more powerful than the antagonist they're being compared to. |
| 294 | * HateSink: As bad as Ajax was in the first movie, at least he was a competent fighter unafraid to dirty his own hands when needed. This guy on the other hand is a bigoted and cowardly fanatic hiding behind religion who tortures children just for being mutants under the pretense of "curing" them. [[spoiler:His torture of Russell also contributes to Cable's BadFuture.]] Thus it was extremely satisfying when [[spoiler:Dopinder ran over him with his taxi]]. |
| 295 | * HumiliationConga: In a short span of time, he's terrorized by a child he tortured to the point of TearsOfFear, his entire staff is slaughtered by the remains of X-Force and Cable, all the children under his "care" are saved by Domino, his entire OrphanageOfFear is reduced to flaming rubble and [[spoiler: his last moments are spent spewing impotent insults and bile before he gets rammed at full speed by Dopinder's taxi and presumably dies in extreme pain. And he deserved every second.]] |
| 296 | * {{Hypocrite}}: He rants to the mutants how they are "beyond redemption." This is coming from the guy who tortures innocent mutant children out of prejudice. |
| 297 | * KarmaHoudiniWarranty: It's clear that he's been torturing kids for a long time without punishment, and the main plot of ''Deadpool 2'' revolves around saving him from [[HeWhoFightsMonsters Russell]]. [[spoiler:His luck runs out when Dopinder runs him over instead.]] |
| 298 | * KarmicButtMonkey: Throughout his limited screen time, he runs for his live as he gets terrorized by mutants and dies two times, with the second death being an UndignifiedDeath that no one cares about. That said, he deserves no sympathy for all the suffering he’s put through, given he’s an extreme bigot who has abused and tortured mutants under his care. |
| 299 | ** KarmicDeath: [[spoiler:Dopinder runs him over with his taxi. For extra {{Irony}} he's killed by the only remaining non-mutant on Deadpool's team, while ranting about how their kind will be killed by the righteous. Extra points for it coming from someone whose cultural heritage is steeped in Karma.]] |
| 300 | * NonActionBigBad: When Russell comes back to exact revenge, the only thing this guy can do is [[DirtyCoward running away]]. |
| 301 | * NoNameGiven: He's never referred to by name. |
| 302 | * NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist: Like [[Film/X2XMenUnited William Stryker]] and [[Film/{{Logan}} Zander Rice]], he acts like he has the best intentions but he is just a racist fanatic. |
| 303 | * ObviouslyEvil: He and his assistants are clearly up to no good from their first scene. Deadpool calls one of the orderlies "Glenn" and notes that he has "secret sex lips". Even Cable sees it as he's watching the Headmaster run away: |
| 304 | -->'''Cable:''' He even runs like a fucking pervert!\ |
| 305 | '''Deadpool:''' Like an online predator who just lost his laptop. |
| 306 | * PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: He considers mutants to be abominations of mankind and later gives a bunch of prejudiced slurs towards Deadpool and his gang. |
| 307 | * PredecessorVillain: [[spoiler:His abuse drives Russell to insanity and in the BadFuture after killing him Russell's remaining bloodlust turns him into a terrorist villain]]. |
| 308 | * SaveTheVillain: Deadpool has to save him from [[spoiler:Russell to prevent the latter's StartOfDarkness that leads to Cable's BadFuture. Deadpool even stops Cable from stabbing him at the end saying "there's been enough bloodshed." Then Dopinder runs the headmaster over with his taxi, and Deadpool reveals he was just fucking around and heard Dopinder coming]]. |
| 309 | * SirNotAppearingInThisTrailer: Despite being played a notable actor, the Orphanage Headmaster is not used by the marketing to hide the fact who he is and who he works for. |
| 310 | * SmallRoleBigImpact: Relatively speaking, the Orphanage Headmaster is only in the movie for a short while, give or take a couple of scenes. Needless to say, for such a short-tenure, he comes with a lot of baggage and practically drives the plot forward. |
| 311 | * TemptingFate: [[spoiler: He bellows that the "day of reckoning" has arrived right before getting nailed by a taxi cab.]] |
| 312 | * TortureTechnician: He runs an orphanage where he tortures children simply for being mutants. |
| 313 | UndignifiedDeath: [[spoiler: The headmaster dies by getting run over by Dopinder after spewing racist insults to the mutants. It’s an embarrassing death indeed, but if anyone deserves to die like that, it is him]]. |
| 314 | * UngratefulBastard: [[spoiler:After Deadpool managed to persuade Russell not to kill him, the asshole doesn't even thank him and yells racist slurs at the Mutants]]. |
| 315 | * UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: He tortured Russell throughout his childhood for being a mutant. In Cable's timeline, Russell murdering the Headmaster in revenge leads to Russell developing a taste for killing and becoming a psychopath in the BadFuture who murders Cable's family. |
| 316 | * WouldHurtAChild: Runs an orphanage for lost or wayward mutant children for "rehabilitation". In actuality, he headed a facility where he experimented on and psychological abused young mutants. |

| 337 | ->''"I love you, Wade Wilson. We can fight this."'' |
| 338 | |
| 339 | A sex worker who's in a serious relationship with Wade Wilson at the time of his terminal cancer diagnosis. |
| 340 | ---- |
| 341 | * AdaptationSpeciesChange: In the comics, she is a mutant with shape-shifting abilities. |
| 342 | * AdaptationalWimp: In the sense she's a BadassNormal in the movie while in the comics she's an accomplished mutant with shapeshifting powers nicknamed "Copycat." |
| 343 | * BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:Thanks to Deadpool getting his hands on Cable's time travel device, he undoes her death at the beginning of the movie during the mid-credits sequence, and WordOfGod confirms she's back.]] |
| 344 | * BadassNormal: Vanessa has absolutely no powers but can still do some very impressive things, [[spoiler:like successfully deterring a hulking mercenary twice her size with a GroinAttack, escaping the pod Ajax puts her into by and impaling Ajax with Wade's sword]]. |
| 345 | * BirdsOfAFeather: Vanessa and Wade instantly get along due to sharing weird senses of humor, sharp wit, penchants for talking, problems with bullies, etc. At one point even Ajax remarks that she and Wade have a lot in common. |
| 346 | * CharacterDeath: [[spoiler:She dies in the first 15 minutes of the sequel in a skirmish between Wade and the crime lord he tried to kill earlier. Her death drove Wade in being a DeathSeeker in joining her in death, but is pushed back each time. He eventually reverses time at the end of the movie to prevent this]]. |
| 347 | * CasualKink: Presumably many [[LovableSexManiac like Wade]], but she explicitly mentions that she can sit on Wade's face, and is ''very'' into pegging Wade the first movie. |
| 348 | * CompositeCharacter: In ''Film/Deadpool2'' she takes on a few aspects of [[spoiler: Death after she dies, being the lover Deadpool meets whenever he dies, who also occasionally gives him advice, and for whom Wade's DeathWish in order to be reunited with her comes from. In an amusing manner, the fact he's stopped in this effort by someone played by Josh Brolin (Cable, who sacrifices his last time jump to save Wade's life) has some amusing implications given it's Thanos (who in the MCU, is ''also'' played by Brolin) who stopped Wade from dying so that he could have Death all to himself.]] |
| 349 | * DamselInDistress: She is kidnapped by Ajax in order to force a confrontation with Deadpool on his own terms. |
| 350 | * DamselOutOfDistress: Despite being kidnapped and used for bait for Wade, during the final battle [[spoiler:she escapes confinement and runs Ajax through with one of Wade's swords]]. |
| 351 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: Parodied. When Wade asks if she had a rough childhood, Vanessa and Wade have [[MiseryPoker a little piss-taking contest]] of who has the most tragic (and the most insanely over-the-top) fictional DarkAndTroubledPast, trying to one-up one another at it. |
| 352 | * DeadpanSnarker: Can match Wade bit by bit in this regard. They had a MiseryPoker contest. |
| 353 | * EvenTheGirlsWantHer: Out-of-universe example, but it's lampshaded by Deadpool in some T.V spots. |
| 354 | * FlatCharacter: At the beginning of the first film, Wade tells Vanessa that he wants to get to know her, "not the short-shorted, two-dimensional sex object peddled by Hollywood." Ironically enough, she ends up becoming just that near the ending; Sure she may be able to quote the Star Wars trilogy at will, and has a good chunk of BadassNormal moments, but she's ultimately still the usual bland superhero love interest and damsel in distress, who basically becomes a plot-device when Deadpool becomes "deformed". Not to mention she gets killed off towards the beginning of the sequel. Little wonder why fans are constantly asking for her to get her Copycat powers in potential sequels. |
| 355 | * GoodBadGirl: Hangs around a bar noted to be for mercenaries, very kinky, and works in a strip joint, but she's still one of the nicest people in the movie. |
| 356 | * GroinAttack: Does a testicular claw to "Fat Gandalf," the old mercenary that tries to put the moves on her. |
| 357 | * HiddenDepths: She and Wade are just as goofy as each other. When learn about his late-stage, terminal cancer, she ''immediately'' gets ''very'' serious, says that her uncle had thyroid cancer, and grills the doctor on treatment options. |
| 358 | * ILetGwenStacyDie: In ''Deadpool 2'' [[spoiler:she's killed off in the very beginning of the movie by a random criminal just to provide some character development for Wade. The movie plays this straight right up until the end when Wade uses Cable's time-travel device to save her life, then go clean up other parts of the timeline.]] |
| 359 | * HookerWithAHeartOfGold: She's probably the nicest person in the movie. |
| 360 | * TheLostLenore: [[spoiler:In ''Deadpool 2'', Wade becomes a DeathSeeker because of her untimely death just as they were about to start a family.]] Thankfully, [[spoiler:Wade undos her death with Cable's time travel device.]] |
| 361 | * MoralityChain: She's what motivates Wade to avoid becoming a completely insane killer. |
| 362 | -->'''Wade:''' Just promise you'll do right by me, so I can do right by someone else. |
| 363 | * MsFanservice: An exotic dancer. |
| 364 | * NiceGirl: She's a very kind-hearted person all in all. |
| 365 | * OfficialCouple: She and Wade Wilson end up falling in love and moving in together at the start of the film. |
| 366 | * OOCIsSeriousBusiness: She's almost as sarcastic and raunchy as Wade, but when she finds out he has cancer, she ''immediately'' begins asking the doctor serious questions about what they can do to help him. |
| 367 | * PosthumousCharacter: [[spoiler:In spite of dying early in ''Deadpool 2'', she still has a presence in the story. Vanessa's death is what sparks Wade to eventually reach out and connect to Russell. Wade sees Vanessa in his near-death experiences and she pushes him to try and be a better person.]] |
| 368 | * RaceLift: She's white in the comics, and played by Morena Baccarin, a Italian-Portuguese-Lebanese Brazillian actress, in the movies, coming off as AmbiguouslyBrown since her character's ethnicity is never stated. |
| 369 | * SatelliteLoveInterest: She's never interacted with any character outside of Wade in any meaningful way. |
| 370 | * SpiritAdviser: After her [[spoiler:death]], she appears to Deadpool to give him advice. |
| 371 | * SuddenSequelDeathSyndrome: Subverted. [[spoiler:She gets killed within minutes at the start of ''Deadpool 2''. She gets better at the end.]] |
| 372 | * TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth: [[spoiler: She's one of the most kind-hearted characters in the entire franchise, and she's killed off in the beginning of ''Deadpool 2''. Luckily, Wade is able to bring her back via time travel at the end.]] |

| 382 | ->''"You look like [[Franchise/ANightmareOnElmStreet Freddy Krueger]] face-fucked a topographical map of Utah."'' |
| 383 | |
| 384 | Real name Jack Hammer. Wade Wilson's best friend, who is also a complete jackass. Runs the BadGuyBar that Wade normally hangs out in. |
| 385 | ---- |
| 386 | * AdaptationDyeJob: Weasel has light brown hair, instead of his usual black. |
| 387 | * AdaptationPersonalityChange: Weasel in the comics is a ButtMonkey who is the subject of Deadpool's abuse, even if the Merc with a Mouth genuinely considers him his friend. Weasel in the movie is free/immune of any abuse, physical or verbal, from Deadpool. In fact, the biggest difference is the movie version's willingness to talk back to Wade and insult him to his face, something Comics!Weasel is hesitant to do. |
| 388 | * BadGuyBar: By the name of Sister Margaret's Home For Wayward Girls, which he owns and acts as the bartender. He's a very friendly guy who knows how to keep the client's secrets, and as such the entire bar has his back. And considering it's a bar frequented by thugs, mercs, and other such characters, that's a very good thing to have. [[spoiler:At one point, all of the patrons in the bar [[EvenEvilHasStandards immediately draw their guns on Ajax and Angel Dust when they threaten Weasel]].]] |
| 389 | -->'''Weasel:''' ''[while being [[NeckLift choked]] by Angel Dust]'' Sweetheart, you might wanna look around. This isn't really the place to do something like that. |
| 390 | * BrutalHonesty: |
| 391 | ** He has no problem telling Wade how disturbing his scarred appearance is, including "Oh, ''no...'' You look like the insides of other people's assholes," "Motherfucker, you are hard to look at," "You look like [[Franchise/ANightmareOnElmStreet Freddy Krueger]] face-fucked a topographical map of Utah," and "You look like an avocado had sex with an older avocado." The deleted scenes mostly consisted of Weasel rattling off insult after insult: "You look like somebody turned your face inside-out and kinda just left it that way... and then you got in a house fire. Oh god, you look like a house fire was in another house fire." |
| 392 | ** When he's given the opportunity to join in on the StormingTheCastle for Vanessa, he could have come up with any number of reasons why he shouldn't come. He just avoids that altogether, and simply says, "Wade, I'd go with you, but... [[CowardlySidekick I don't want to.]]" |
| 393 | * CompositeCharacter: Between Weasel and Patch, the owner of the resident BadGuyBar in the comics. |
| 394 | * CowardlySidekick: He provides Deadpool with everything he needs ''except'' help in a fight, because he's not suited for combat. Also, because he doesn't wanna. |
| 395 | -->'''Weasel:''' Wade, I'd go with you, but... I don't want to. |
| 396 | ** The man, however, will defend himself and be brave when he's surrounded by allies. While he blabs about Deadpool's plan [[spoiler:to Cable]] when he is captured, he fearlessly holds his gun to [[spoiler:Cable's]] head when he walks into Blind Al's place, and even goes as far as to mock him for his use of a "fanny pack". It just goes to show that Deadpool understands his friend that he doesn't hold anything against Weasel for, well, being a weasel because, come on, [[spoiler:it's ''[[TheDreaded Cable]]''.]] |
| 397 | * DeadpanSnarker: It's hard to be a friend of Pool's without being one and he delivers. The "avocado sex" is one example. |
| 398 | * HiddenDepths: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]] because it only comes up when [[ItMakesSenseInContext using avocados to describe someone's face,]] but he has an...interestingly deep perception of an unhealthy sexual relationship between two avoca-er, people. |
| 399 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Despite acting snarkily callous and assholeish towards everything (and his BrutalHonesty), Weasel actually acts very decently with Wade once he learns of his predicament, helping him with everything he needs and even flat-out refusing to sell him out ''even as he's being strangled by the superhumanly powerful Angel Dust''. And afterwards? The first thing he does is to call Wade to warn him. Also, upon learning that Wade has cancer, the first thing Weasel does is try to serve Wade herbal remedies instead of alcohol. |
| 400 | * LovableCoward: It's not that he wouldn't go with Wade to the final battle. It's just that he doesn't want to. Ironically, what keeps him from [[DirtyCoward the other side of the scale]] is the fact that he does not at all try to conceal his cowardice and is very casual and self-aware about it, and no one seems to really expect differently from him anyways, since he's the NonActionGuy at any rate. |
| 401 | -->'''Weasel''' ''(about being interrogated by [[spoiler:Cable]]):'' ...but the only thing I told him was everything he wanted to know. |
| 402 | * MeaningfulName: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] as while Weasel is indeed a coward, he doesn't release any information on his clientele, even when Ajax and Angel Dust try to shake him down for it. Played straight in the sequel when he spills every last detail of Wade's plan when [[spoiler: Cable]] merely ''talks'' about torture. |
| 403 | * NonActionGuy: He has no talent for physical violence. |
| 404 | * OhCrap: After Ajax and Angel Dust [[spoiler:steal his picture of Wade and Vanessa]]. |

| 406 | * OptOut: He helps Wade gather his guns for the big fight against Francis, places a hand on his friend's shoulder and solemnly tells him he'd go with him...he just doesn't ''want'' to. Wade accepts his decision, probably because he'd just be a liability during the fight. |
| 407 | * PluckyComicRelief: As referenced by the opening credits, his narrative purpose is comedy. |
| 408 | * VitriolicBestBuds: Insults between him and Wade are like punctuation. He also bet $200 against Wade in the bar's Dead Pool and is somewhat disappointed when Wade's new superpowers guarantee that he'll never get his money back. |

| 423 | * BlindMistake: Her attempts at assembling IKEA furniture doesn't go too well. |
| 424 | * BlindPeopleWearSunglasses: Blind Al almost always wears large black sunglasses, even when alone in her apartment. Makes it all the more impressive in her introductory scene at a laundromat, when Wade realizes she's identified the stains in his clothes by sound and smell from across the room. |
| 425 | * BlindWeaponmaster: Al is somehow a crack shot, despite being completely blind. |
| 426 | * BrainBleach: At one point, she remarked why couldn't God take her hearing away as well. |
| 427 | * BrutalHonesty: She never hesitates to tell some inconvenient truths to Deadpool. |
| 428 | * CharacterCatchphrase: "You have a dick in your mouth." |
| 429 | * DeadpanSnarker: When you are living with Deadpool, it's better to be one. Thankfully, Blind Al is quite the snarky character. |
| 430 | * DisabilitySuperpower: One of the side effects of Blind Al's blindness is that she has better senses than average - she can tell Wade's suit is soaked in blood from smell alone, and can hear what is going on in the entire building. Unfortunately for her, that also means that [[{{Squick}} she can hear Deadpool masturbate]]. |

| 436 | * RaceLift: Blind Al, a Caucasian in the comics, has an African-American actress, Leslie Uggams. |

| 451 | |
| 452 | A clumsy Indian-American taxi driver whom Deadpool takes a liking to. Dopinder had a normal, boring life, and normal, boring problems, right up until he finds a role model in Deadpool and embraces his inner sociopath. He's now Deadpool's getaway driver and works at the mercenary bar with the life-goal of becoming a contract killer. |
| 453 | |
| 454 | ---- |
| 455 | * AffablyEvil: By the time of ''Deadpool 2'', we learn he's a sociopath and now he wants to become a hitman. He is still, however, his old dorky self and a valuable ally to our heroes. |
| 456 | * AllLoveIsUnrequited: As noted above, his beloved has a much more appealing significant other. |
| 457 | * AscendedExtra: He has significantly more screen time in the sequel than in the first movie. |
| 458 | * BadassDriver: You’d have to be this if you serve as the getaway driver for the Merc with a Mouth. |
| 459 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: In the first movie he's a polite, awkward and adorable nice guy who's unlucky in love [[spoiler:and abducts his romantic rival to murder him.]] In the second movie his personality remains the same even as he chases his new dream: becoming a contract killer. [[spoiler:He even kills the Essex Orphanage Headmaster in the end and says he wants more.]] |
| 460 | * CanonForeigner: He was created specifically for the films. |
| 461 | * CorruptTheCutie: In his first appearance, he's a cute, likable taxi driver. Then he takes Deadpool's romantic advice for getting back his girl from her much better looking lover (who is, incidentally, his cousin). |
| 462 | * ExceptionallyTolerant: One of the few humans in the setting where [[FantasticRacism discrimination against mutants is commonplace]], he's one of Deadpool's inner circle to be fine being surrounded by mutants rather than being afraid or hate them. He doesn't even mind having the X-Men ride in his cab when Deadpool needs backup. |
| 463 | * HeroicComedicSociopath: He gains a whole new level of this in ''Deadpool 2'', craving to become a BloodKnight. [[spoiler:He also gets to kill the Essex orphanage headmaster by running him over with his taxi.]] |
| 464 | * IJustWantToBeBadass: Deadpool is surprised when Dopinder's claim to "want to the fill the hole in his soul," translates to, "Become a contract killer." Throughout the sequel he tries to get Deadpool and Weasel teach him to be a killer or let him join Deadpool's super group, but Weasel just takes advantage of him to do mundane tasks at his bar. Dopinder even sneaks into the final heroic charge with Deadpool, Domino, and [[spoiler:Cable,]] only to decide to wait in the cab when he comes face-to-face with [[spoiler:the Juggernaut.]] |
| 465 | * MurderTheHypotenuse: Attempted after some ill-advised romantic advice from Deadpool, [[spoiler:he kidnaps his rival-in-love with plans to kill him.]] |
| 466 | * PayEvilUntoEvil: He ''really'' wanted to kill some one and he couldn't find a better person than [[spoiler:the Orphanage Headmaster.]] |
| 467 | * PunkInTheTrunk: [[spoiler:He kidnaps his girl's lover and stuffs him in the trunk of his car.]] Deadpool approves. |
| 468 | * RunningGag: Deadpool doesn't wear a wallet while suited up, so Dopinder is forced to make do with a high five as his fare. He seems okay with it. Or at least unwilling to debate the point with a heavily-armed man who's obviously not firing on all mental cylinders. |
| 469 | * {{Sidekick}}: He ends up becoming Deadpool's primary mode of transport. |
| 470 | * ScrewThisImOuttaHere: When [[spoiler:the Juggernaut]] threatens to shove him into Deadpool's ass, he immediately becomes terrified and decides to wait in the cab and leave the fight to Deadpool, Domino and [[spoiler:Cable.]] Fair enough, since he is only human. |
| 471 | * TheTeamWannabe: In ''Deadpool 2'', he ''badly'' wants to become a badass mercenary like Deadpool. Weasel only gives him menial tasks like mopping. And he gets really pissed off when a powerless guy like Peter gets recruited in the X-Force and not him. You could argue that Deadpool wants to keep him from getting killed. |

In the movie, due to her inadvertently killing her mother due to losing control of her powers, he completely washes his hands of Jean, disowning her as his daughter. |
| 538 | * DeathByAdaptation: Type 2, as in the comics, he was killed by the Shi'ar death commandos to purge the universe of Jean's family in fear of a repeat of the Phoenix. [[spoiler:Here, he's killed just as Jean is becoming the Dark Phoenix]]. |
| 539 | * DisappearedDad: He couldn't bear to keep Jean after Elaine was killed in the car crash that an 8-year old Jean unwittingly caused with her SensoryOverload and PowerIncontinence, and accepted Charles Xavier's alternative to take her in his school after thinking she was a "lost cause". [[LyingToProtectYourFeelings Xavier's lie to Jean]] about her father dying in the accident eventually backfires, made worse when Jean finds out about what her father thought of her. |
| 540 | * DisneyDeath: Charles Xavier lied to Jean about her father dying as a result of the car accident. He survived, but abandoned her, not knowing how to deal with both the cause of the loss of his wife and Jean's nascent powers. |

| 603 | Erik Lehnsherr/Magneto's loving Polish wife of about 10 years by 1983, and the mother of Nina. |
| 604 | ---- |
| 605 | * AdaptationalBackstoryChange: Her comic counterpart was a childhood friend of Magneto who survived the Holocaust with him, having escaped Auschwitz together. This version of her didn't meet Erik until after ''Days of Future Past'' and doesn't appear to have ever been imprisoned in a concentration camp, possibly having not even been born yet during the Holocaust. |
| 606 | * AdaptationalHeroism: Where her version in the comics reacted with horror and scorn at Magneto's abilities, Magda in ''Apocalypse'' meets his metallokinesis with unconditional acceptance, almost to Charles' levels. |
| 607 | * DeathByAdaptation: Comics Magda outlived Anya and ran off, living long enough to give birth to Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch [[RetCanon (maybe)]]. This Magda dies with her daughter. |
| 608 | * DecompositeCharacter: In the comics, Magda was the mother of both Nina (the AdaptationNameChange for Anya) and Quicksilver, but in the movie-verse, Magda and Ms. Maximoff are two distinct characters; the former is Erik's wife, and the latter is a woman he once had a fling with in the mid-1950s. Nina and Peter Maximoff are therefore half-siblings. |
| 609 | * GoodParents: She is shown to be a watchfully caring mother over Nina when her husband is away at the metalworks. |
| 610 | * HappilyMarried: To Henryk (Erik), being his rock from the time they first met. After her husband exposes himself as Magneto, she even tries unsuccessfully to convince Erik to stay at their home to prove his innocence; and to the Polish policemen to believe in his better nature despite Erik's past terrorism. |
| 611 | * SecretKeeper: Magda is privately but fully aware of who her husband Henryk (a disguised Erik/Magneto) is, and of the [[Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast past atrocities he committed]]. |
| 612 | * RelatedInTheAdaptation: [[ZigzaggedTrope Zig-Zagged]] and {{Inverted|Trope}}. In the comics, Magneto and Magda were the parents of Quicksilver. However in a [[ComicBook/{{Axis}} controversial retcon]], it was revealed that this was a lie. The movie is made after the retcon and instead goes for the classic depiction of Magneto as Quicksilver's father but his mother appears to be a CompositeCharacter of Marya Maximoff (Quicksilver's aunt and adoptive mother) and Susanna Dane (Polaris' mother) while Magda herself has no relation. |
| 613 | * SenselessSacrifice: Her death is a cruel example. Not only does she get fatally hit by an arrow [[MamaBear trying to protect her daughter]], but said daughter is ''also'' hit by the same arrow and dies anyway. |
| 614 | * SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: Lampshaded by her actress herself to be this for Charles Xavier. As elaborated in the [[Foil/XMenApocalypse film's Foil subtrope]], Magda and Charles both become Magneto's [[LoveRedeems emotional redeemers]] (albeit at different times); have started lives and families with him (Nina and the X-Men, respectively); and have experienced the fallout from Erik's past in heartbreaking fashions, either by death or gradual separation. |

| 648 | * NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: Their decision to invite Logan, Charles and Laura ends in the entire Munson family and Charles being killed by X-24. Even the corrupt corn farmers, who antagonized Will and Logan earlier, end up being killed by X-24 afterwards. Even when Logan and the mutant kids managed to kill off Rice and his remaining men, this only resulted Logan to be killed by a vengeful X-24, though Laura kills X-24 by shooting him in the head with a bullet. |
| 649 | * TooHappyToLive: They all end up dead. |
| 650 | * WhatTheHellHero: Will's final moments after he rams and shoots X-24 are to encounter Logan, take aim at him and pull the trigger[[note]]Unfortunately, he'd [[ItWorksBetterWithBullets run out of ammo]][[/note]], clearly showing that he blames Logan for everything that happened that night. |

| 662 | ---- |
| 663 | * AsHimself: Not counting his roles as the starring Deadpool and Juggernaut, Reynolds appears here at an era where he had several modest hit movies just before his supposed big break, which ended up a critical turkey and a [[invoked]]BoxOfficeBomb. |
| 664 | * BoomHeadshot: Deadpool goes back in time to give him a terminal case of bullet to the head. |
| 665 | * CelebrityParadox: RuleOfFunny. Apparently exists in this world alongside his characters Deadpool and Juggernaut. |
| 666 | * PromotedFanboy: InUniverse. Considering Ryan was a fan of playing superheroes, he felt playing Green Lantern would be perfect for him. |
| 667 | * SelfDeprecation: Deadpool, played by Reynolds, travels back in time to kill his real life self before he could star in the ill-fated ''Film/GreenLantern2011'', to prevent him from embarrassing Canada. |
| 668 | ** Before this in the first movie, in a throwaway line when Wade is complaining about how he looks, he claims that Ryan Reynolds is only famous for his looks rather than actually having any acting talent. |
| 669 | ** His name is also listed on Sister Margaret's Dead Pool board in the first movie. |
| 670 | * TakeThat: Deadpool delivers one to the [[Film/GreenLantern2011 movie]] that damn-near killed his career. How? By killing his ''[[TakeThatMe real life self]]''. |
