The older sister of Emma Frost. A ruthless corporate raider willingly molded in her father's image, she joined the Hellfire Club as its White Queen after falling out with her sister and the kids of ComicBook/GenerationX. Treacherous and conniving, she backstabbed everyone who crossed her path, including the Hellfire Club themselves. Eventually her double-dealing caught up with her, however, and after causing the death of one of Emma's students the old White Queen shot the new one dead.

\\\
The half-human, half-robot result of '''Nimrod''' and '''Master Mold''' (it's a long story), Bastion was a high-ranking government operative who initiated ''Operation: Zero Tolerance'' in response to the Onslaught Saga and Mystique's assassination of Graydon Creed. Eventually, he learnt of his true origin, got reduced to a head, and then disappeared from comics for a good long while.
In the aftermath of M-Day, the Purifiers recovered his head from a S.H.I.E.L.D. holding facility, intending to use him to wipe out Mutantkind once and for all. It didn't go how they expected, and Bastion usurped control of them, proving a horrifically dangerous adversary to the X-Men. Eventually, however, he was annihilated by Hope Summers... [[DeathIsCheap Or so it seems]].\\\
Bastion was the BigBad for the ''VideoGame/XMenNextDimension'' fighting game and the action-RPG ''VideoGame/XMenDestiny''.

Dirtnap is a mutant with the ability to absorb living beings and take on their forms.

* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: The reason why he ended siding with Generation X against M-Plate. During their travel to save Synch, they saved Dirtnap a couple of times, much to his surprise, and Penance shared some food with him (cheese ironically).
* ChestInsignia: His smiley face follows him on everything he transforms into.
* CollectorOfForms: A mutant shapeshifter who has to absorb someone before he can shapeshift into their likeness. Back in his first appearance in ''Wolverine,'' trying to absorb Logan didn't work, as Wolverine's healing factor easily outpaced the absorption process and Dirtnap had to retreat.

%%!!!'''Notable Aliases:'''
!!!'''Nationality:''' American
%%!!!'''Species:'''
!!!'''First Appearance:''' ''Generation X'' #63 (May, 2000)
Johnston Coffin is man of metahuman abilities and extra-legal privileges. A wanted war criminal conspirator and "warden" to The House of Corrections, a state based detention center of alleged delinquents who're unlawfully incarcerated or experimented to be reformed.

* AxCrazy: His methods of correction are needlessly brutal and sadistic to say the least, and it’s heavily implied that’s he’s only doing this just to have the opportunity to murder children.
* AndIMustScream: You don't want to know what he did to the kids from his ''first'' prison three decades ago, but needless to say it ends with Gen X having to MercyKill them.
* ArcVillain: For the ''Correction'' arc (issues 63 to 66). He has not appeared since.
* ComboPlatterPowers: Heightened endurance, heightened reflexes, energy control, and probably more.
* DisneyVillainDeath: Although, if he really is MadeOfEvil, this may not be enough to kill him. Either way, he hasn't been seen since.
* EvilOldFolks: Elderly and an unrepentant war criminal.
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: His eyes are glowing and he's an all-around monster.
* HellholePrison: Runs one of the most hellish in all fiction.
* MadeOfEvil: Claims to be this.
* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: Well, mundane for the Franchise/MarvelUniverse, anyway; he claims to be MadeOfEvil, but other characters suspect he's simply a powerful mutant, and it's never confirmed either way.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Wanted by the UN for crimes against humanity. So of course [[{{Eagleland}} the US Government]] gives him a job instead. He doesn't seem to like Hispanics much, either.
* RapeAsDrama: If the [[SlasherSmile creepy grin]] he gave when he mentioned he was considering leaving the female Gen Xers alive is any indication...
* RedEyesTakeWarning: [[http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20141101230347/marveldatabase/images/d/df/Johnston_Coffin_%28Earth-616%29_from_Generation_X_Vol_1_66.png Here]].
* ScareEmStraight: It's noted in the issues that he was given a blank check to do what he pleased to America's teenagers in order to prevent another Columbine, but this is probably no longer the case due to the sliding timescale and it's implied in the final issue of the arc that he doesn't really care about doing that anyway and took the job so he could [[HarmfulToMinors torture and kill lots of kids]].
%%* TheSociopath
* TaxidermyIsCreepy: He's not adverse to ''stuffing and mounting people as trophies'', and his prize possession is the skull of a child he personally shot between the eyes.
* WouldHurtAChild: Let's put it like this; having your head crushed? That the ''second''-worst thing that can happen to you under his watch.
