[[caption-width-right:300:''"There is nothing more important to me than my family."'']]
->'''Portrayed by:''' Stephen Moyer

->''"All my life, I’ve been enforcing laws. The way I saw it, society only worked if there were consequences for breaking the rules. Lately, my feelings about society have changed a bit, but... it’s still something I believe in. Maybe in a new way, but I do believe it. It’s about trust."''

A lawyer who works in mutant prosecution cases.
----
* BroughtDownToNormal: [[spoiler: Reed is a mutant but his father artificially removed his powers (though not his X-Gene) via a special serum.]]
* DeathGlare: {{Invoked|Trope}} while threatening to sue the school. He thinks he overdid it, while Caitlin assures him it was "the perfect amount of glare".
* PapaWolf:
** His [[EstablishingCharacterMoment first scene]] shows him threatening the school director with "suing the school into oblivion" if he fails to stop his son's tormentors. Completed with KubrickStare. [[MoodWhiplash And then]] [[{{Adorkable}} adorkably]] discussing with Caitlin exactly how appropriate that threat was.
** When he realizes the kind of trouble his children are in, he instantly decides to give up his career and everything he has worked for up to this point in his life, since it is the only way he can save them.
* PunchClockVillain: Never shows any personal hatred against mutants. In fact, he sympathizes with Lorna and offers her help. He did what he did to uphold the law without thinking much into the suffering of mutants, but after his children are revealed to be mutants, he doesn't hesitate one second to leave everything behind to protect them from the very system he represented.
* TomatoInTheMirror: The man who prosecuted mutants [[spoiler: is one himself, albeit a depowered one. Downplayed as the revelation takes place ''after'' he has joined the mutants' side.]]

->'''Portrayed by:''' Creator/AmyAcker

->''"People have been fighting this fight for a long time. And now it's our turn."''

A nurse and mother of two children who she is worried are drifting away from her.
----
* {{Expy}}: Of the comics version of Moira [=MacTaggert=]. Caitlin is a normal human woman who becomes an ally of the Mutant Underground and uses her medical training to serve as TheMedic for them, just as comics Moira is for the X-Men.
* HaveYouTriedNotBeingAMonster: Reacts this way at first when she learns that her children are mutants, but is ''much'' more supportive than [[AbusiveParents previous parents in the franchise who have reacted in such a fashion.]] Though it doesn't take long for her to drop this mentality altogether.
* TheMedic: She is building up as one for the Mutant Underground.
* NaiveNewcomer: To the world of mutant prosecution. She hasn't fully realized that laws and rules don't matter much anymore and her children must learn to fight to survive.
* TookALevelInBadass: Very early on, she was basically dragged along by circumstances, still shocked by her comfortable suburban life falling apart. However, she quickly gets on her feet, saves Clarice and decides to help the mutant cause after witnessing their abuse, both for her children and out of genuine support.

%%[[caption-width-right:300:some caption text]]
->'''Portrayed by:''' Natalie Alyn Lind

->''"You know when you put your hand out of the window of a moving car, you can feel the air, and guide it? I can push the air together. Water, too, other stuff, it's just harder. "''

The elder Strucker child, she's known she was a mutant for three years, but hid it from her family.
----
* ActionGirl: Despite her age, she knows how to use her powers efficiently and shows good reflexes and leadership to help her family on the run.
* BarrierWarrior: Her powerset includes the ability to create force fields, which appear to be dozens of translucent discs compressed together. As she describes it, she pushes together the molecules in fluids such as the air to create a harder substance.
* BigSisterMentor: Works to coach her brother in controlling his powers. Their applications may be different, but she still proves to be exceptional at helping him focus in more ways than one.
* {{Expy}}: Her skillset is comparable to that of the [[ComicBook/FantasticFour Invisible Woman]]'s, minus the "invisible" part.
* IJustWantToBeNormal: She managed to keep being a mutant a complete secret for ''three years'' until her brother's powers activating forced her hand. From then on she's far more comfortable about it.
* MindOverMatter: An alternative application of her powers, she can use her force fields to push objects, like the food in a vending machine, or ''oncoming traffic''. She later uses it to close one of Blink's portals.
* RedOniBlueOni: The level-headed and protective Blue to Andy's wilder AntiHero Red.
* SiblingYinYang: She is the collected, socially integrated CoolBigSis of her loner, sensitive and awkward little brother. Unlike her brother, she's known about her powers and kept them secret for years, and said powers are mainly about protection compared to his destructive powers.
* TraumaticSuperpowerAwakening: Downplayed. Three years ago, Lauren's powers activated when she instinctively moved to protect her mother and herself from getting hit by a truck. She doesn't seem too mentally worse for wear afterward and has since adjusted to them despite having to hide the experience and her mutant status from her family.
* WonderTwinPowers: She can focus Andy's destructive waves by using her power like a nozzle, concentrating them on one spot. [[spoiler:Otto Strucker reveals that, if the two hold hands, they can cause untold destruction (their great-grandparents had ''genocide'' among their listed crimes).]]

%%[[caption-width-right:300:some caption text]]
->'''Portrayed by:''' Percy Hynes White

->''"So, what's the verdict this time? Am I stupid or crazy?"''

The younger Strucker child, who is suffering the attention of bullies at school.
----
* AntiHero: Much quicker angered and prone to using his powers in a violent way than his sister.
* HowDoIShotWeb: As a result of being the newest to having powers, he has little understanding of or control over their activation, and a tendency to panic when they don't work exactly how or when he wants.
* MindOverMatter: He was able to bend the showers in the locker room and cause a localized earthquake when he first used his powers. As he describes it, he just wanted to push everything away.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: He can create tremendously destructive vibrations for quite a distance.
* PowerIncontinence: Since he's a bullied teen who fuels his powers with rage, he has serious trouble getting his power to ''stop'' once he gets it going. He starts to grow out of this as the series continues.
* RedOniBlueOni: The uncontrolled Red to his sister's level-headed Blue.
* SiblingYinYang: He is the loner, sensitive and awkward little brother compared to his collected, socially integrated CoolBigSis. He suddenly and very publicly discovers his powers at the beginning of the serious, unlike her long-term secret keeping, and those powers are ill-controlled and destructive compared to his sister's well-mastered protective abilities.
* TraumaticSuperpowerAwakening: What kicks off the series. His powers activated when he was being bullied by [[JerkJock Jerk Jocks]], causing him to tear his school apart. This goes on to be the cause of his PowerIncontinence, since he relives the experience in order to activate his powers.
* UnskilledButStrong: Andy can't stop himself from destroying everything in the general vicinity ''but'' his powers are strong enough to easily destroy several Sentinel Services robots when Eclipse and Thunderbird were shown to have huge trouble with just one.
* WonderTwinPowers: By himself, his powers are unfocused, destroying both his target and everything around it. When Lauren uses her power to focus his, he can hit specific targets. [[spoiler:Otto Strucker reveals that, if the two hold hands, they can cause untold destruction (their great-grandparents had ''genocide'' among their listed crimes).]]

->'''Portrayed by:''' Sharon Gless

Ex-wife of Otto Strucker and Reed's mother. She gets questioned by Agent Weeks following Reed's arrest.
----
* GoodParents: As opposed to Otto, she seems very close with her son, defends him even while he is arrested for supposedly supporting terrorists, and has protested for both human and mutant rights in the past.
* SatelliteCharacter: Only appears in a flashback during a game of bowling with her family and during an interrogation scene with Agent Weeks, after the arrest of her son.

Reed's distant father, who once worked for Trask Industries. [[spoiler:Secretly an extremely powerful mutant.]]
----
* DaddyHadAGoodReasonForAbandoningYou: [[spoiler:The guilt he felt for using a serum on Reed that nearly killed him made it impossible for him to look Reed in the eye.]]
* DefectorFromDecadence: He was raised by terrorists and genocidal maniacs, but when he grew up he became determined to be nothing like them.
* GuineaPigFamily: [[spoiler:He used the prototype serum he developed to suppress the X gene on his own son, even though it nearly killed Reed.]]
* TheImmune: [[spoiler: Is immune to Pulse's PowerNullifier abilities for unexplained reasons.]]
* KickTheSonOfABitch: [[spoiler: Dr. Campbell is a through and through {{Jerkass}} for the entire season, so Otto scarring his face and putting him in the hospital is completely karmatic.]]
* RedemptionEqualsDeath: [[spoiler: Performs a YouShallNotPass on Sentinel Services in order to save his son and John, being shot in the process.]]
* WellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler: Worked at Trask Industries to right the wrongs of his father and aunt.]]

Caitlin's brother, to whom she and the kids go to for help after Reed gets arrested.
----
* ConflictingLoyalty: He is initially reluctant to aid his sister and her children beyond letting her stay over night, because of their fugitive status and having to put his son and wife in risk, but after a mob tries to attack his house he tries to fend them off and later provides information on Reed.
* CoolUncle: Is well liked by Lauren and Andy, and helps his relatives out (after some brief hesitation).
* ShamingTheMob: ''Tries'' to do this to his gun-wielding neighbours who try to take Caitlin and her kids by force, but it doesn't work.

->'''Portrayed by:''' Cooper Roth

Daniel's teenage son, who is quite bad at assessing dangerous situations.
----
* YouthIsWastedOnTheDumb: Big time. He texted a friend about his cousins being mutants and sent a picture of a trophy of his being crushed by Andy's powers despite them being wanted fugitives. It almost gets everybody killed after half the neighbourhood comes to the house, armed to the teeth. His excuse? ''He promised not to tell anybody.''

!! Mutant Underground

[[folder:In General]]

* LaResistance: They are a resistance movement fighting legalized persecution of mutants in the United States.
* SuperheroSpeciation: {{Averted}}, by having two members (Harry and Tex) with {{Invisibility}} powers (though Tex's powers are much more powerful).

->'''Portrayed by:''' Emma Dumont

->''"When they look at me they see a troubled young woman... I'll show them trouble."''

A young woman with the powers of [[MagnetismManipulation magnetism]].
----
* AntiHero: Becomes quite angry and violent after being freed from prison.
* TheBigGuy: Before she gets detained in the pilot, she's clearly the heavy hitter of Thunderbird's underground mutant team.
* BulletDodgesYou: She can stop bullets and shoot them back at those who fired them.
* ButICantBePregnant: Lorna's second FreakOut of the pilot episode screams this when Strucker shows her her medical records, revealing that she's expecting a child.
* ContinuityNod: Let's just say its rare for her to ''not'' have a scene that invokes some aspect of either film or comic Magneto history.
* {{Determinator}}: Works through the pain of being punched in the face, kicked in the stomach, and her collar electrocuting her to use her powers to throw a table at her attacker.
* EmeraldPower: Her hair is naturally green and when she's using her powers, her hair and eyes glow bright green.
* {{EMP}}: Disables a squadron of police cars during the first episode shootout this way.
* IfIWantedYouDead: In as many words when Reed confronts her with an attempted murder rap over the police assault. To drive it home she manipulates surgical screws inside his leg.
* KnightInSourArmour: She lives in a world where people hate and fear her and all mutants just for what they are, but she fights to protect her people, sees the beauty and the joy in what they do, and wouldn't give up her powers to be accepted even if she could.
* MagnetismManipulation: Her skillset involves the manipulation of magnetism.
* MoodSwinger: She's bipolar and being on the run offers very little opportunity to seek treatment, resulting in this.
* MythologyGag: She's kept in a plastic prison, and manipulates the metals inside a visitor's body. [[Film/X2XMenUnited Sound familiar?]]
* NotQuiteFlight: As shown in a flashback, she can levitate, but it's not quite the way the other magnetic mutant does it--rather, she makes fashion choices that involve a lot of metal and lifts what she's wearing.
* PersonalityPowers: Her powers have to do with polarity, and she herself is bipolar.
* PregnantBadass: Although not initially aware of it.
* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: Nearly beats a cop to death after he shot Marcos.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: As we learn in "rX', her hair is naturally green. She dyes it black to blend in with average humans.
* YouWouldntLikeMeWhenImAngry: Thunderbird and Eclipse (and Blink) all have more directly lethal powers but Polaris is the one who wants to fight police from the beginning and escalates to attempted murder when her lover Eclipse is wounded. Even when throwing metal she prefers disarms and "warning shots" but it's clear she's only doing that because she's not ''that'' angry or desperate at the moment.

A rebellious mutant who can [[LightEmUp absorb and manipulate photons]]. He's Lorna's boyfriend
----
* AlienBlood: He "bleeds" sunlight.
* BlindedByTheLight: He can release intense light which can temporarily blind his opponents. If done for long enough, he can even permanently blind someone.
* TheBrute: [[spoiler:He used to be muscle for a drug lord.]]
* CompositeCharacter: His relationship with Lorna stems from the comics version of Havok while his background and powers have more in common with ComicBook/{{Sunspot}}.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: He was thrown out of his house when he was 13 when his powers first manifested and had to do many unsavory things to survive. These include [[spoiler:getting involved with a [[TheCartel drug cartel]]]].
* {{Expy}}: While Marcos technically doesn't exist in any Marvel continuity, he's obviously meant to resemble [[ComicBook/NewMutants Sunspot]], who appears in ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'' and ''Film/TheNewMutants''. In fact, the only character in Marvel lore who's ever used the codename [[http://marvel.wikia.com/wiki/Roberto_da_Costa_(Earth-11326) Eclipse]] is an {{alternate universe}} Sunspot.
* FrickinLaserBeams: He can concentrate light in order to fire heat beams from his fingers.
* GreaseMonkey: He seems to work as a mechanic.
* IronicNickname: His mutant name is Eclipse but his powers allow him to emit light. [[spoiler:He 'can' absorb light to make his surroundings darker, but it's clearly taxing for him]].
* ThePowerOfTheSun: His powers involve light and the sun.
* RedOniBlueOni: in most of his interactions with Thunderbird, he is the impulsive, {{determinator}} red oni compared to his more strategic and composed friend.

* AdaptationalNameChange: Her surname is changed from Ferguson to Fong.
* DeadpanSnarker: Her sense of humor is quite sarcastic.
* EmeraldPower: Her eyes are an eerie shade of green.
* FacialMarkings: She gains a pink slash over her right eye after her injury.
* IOweYouMyLife: She thinks she owes Polaris because the latter was captured while helping her escape the police.
* PointyEars: She has a set of elf-like ears as one of the more obvious signs she isn't a normal human.
* PortalCut: She does this to a police car after it gets partway through one of her portals before it closes. She also uses a dog toy to demonstrate to Eclipse that if she can't see where she's porting, it's a ''very'' real danger of using her powers.
* PowerIncontinence: She displays some difficulty opening her portals, and keeping them stable for more than a few moments; Thunderbird implies that this is normal with mutants who use fear as fuel. And after she gets sick in the second episode, she loses any ability to control them at all.
* RaceLift: Is still Asian, while her comic counterpart's ethnicity was never specified.
* ThinkingUpPortals: Her skillset involves teleportation through portal constructs.
* ThisIsUnforgivable: [[spoiler:Tears Dreamer a new one for [[MindRape implanting her with a memory that's not her's]].]]

The athletic, superstrong leader of the underground mutant network.
----
* AdaptationalPersonalityChange: His counterpart in the comics is defined as a LeeroyJenkins-type, while this version of the character is more cautious and methodical.
* BadassNative: He's Native American, and he's a badass.
* TheLeader: He's the leader of the underground mutants.
* LightningBruiser: He's fast and strong.
* MagicalNativeAmerican: Downplayed. He's a mutant, but not ''because'' of his Native American ethnicity. However, his superhuman tracking ability ''does'' play into Native American stereotypes.
* MySignificanceSenseIsTingling: His enhanced senses allow him to foresee incoming enemies.
* RedOniBlueOni: in most of his interactions with Eclipse, he is the strategic and composed blue oni compared to his impulsive friend.
* ScarilyCompetentTracker: He also has the ability to track other mutants.
* SparedByTheAdaptation: Whereas his counterpart in the mainstream MarvelUniverse was killed off almost immediately after being introduced, this version will be sticking around longer.
* SuperSenses: Has superhuman hearing.
* SuperSoldier: Though not artificially enhanced, he's a mutant and mentions his military service several times. The opening of Episode 6 gives a taste of how well his broad powerset could be applied in a warzone: hearing incoming attacks, disposing of explosives, shielding others from explosions, ''catching shrapnel out of the air''...
* SuperStrength: His personal powerset, as said above.
* SuperToughness: He's tough enough to be hit with the severed tailgate of a truck without injury.

----
* AwesomeByAnalysis: She is called ''Math girl'' by Andy, as she calculates odds and can mentally interact with computers.

A mutant with the ability to read and manipulate memories through a mist she exhales. She and John have a romantic history.
----
* AdaptationNameChange: In the comics, she was called ''Beautiful Dreamer'', which obviously would have sounded very strange.
* AllForNothing: [[spoiler:Campbell guns her down in cold blood while trying to force the Strucker kids to demonstrate their powers. Dreamer is DefiantToTheEnd, telling them not to give him what he wants. However her death ends up meaningless when the kids give in to stop him from killing Clarice, as well. Now Campbell has ''exactly'' what he was looking for to permanently wipe out mutant kind.]]
* AntiHero: Is willing to MindRape Blink, and John indicates she has done this before, in order to save John and the group.
* CreepyGood: She is on the side of the Mutant Underground, but that doesn't stop her from being outright terrifying due to her powers and her supposedly innocent attire.
* DefiantToTheEnd: [[spoiler:She dies insisting that Lauren and Andy not give in to Campbell's demands.]]
* FakeMemories: She can implant fake memories unto others by exhaling a pink mist. It is supposed to last a few days and then be forgotten like a dream, but there are implications that this isn't always reliable.
* IDidWhatIHadToDo: [[spoiler:She gives Blink her own memories of her time with John in order to give her the proper motivation and willpower to save him and the group from the mutant haters after them.]] John is ''not'' happy with this, but she argues it was the only way.
* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:Shot in cold blood by Campbell to force the Strucker kids to comply with his demands and demonstrate their powers.]]
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: Another aspect of her power is to erase selected memories, either intentionally or by accident.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler:After Blink confronts her about mindraping her, Sonya seems really shaken up. She has the same moment with Turner once she learns that she accidentally wiped his memories of his daughter's death from his mind, forcing him to relive it all over again. The fact that he refuses to accept her sincere apology and that he ''wants'' her to suffer in retaliation only makes it worse.]]
* NamedByTheAdaptation: Her birth name is unknown in the comics, but is eventually revealed on the show as Sonya Simonson.
* ShoutOut: Her last name is a nod to Creator/LouiseSimonson, the co-creator of her comic-book counterpart.

->'''Portrayed by:''' Derek James Jones

A mutant with the ability to blend in with his environment.
----
* DistressedDude: Due to the unexpected presence of Pulse, his powers start malfunctioning right when he checks out the situation in front of Sentinel Services agents. He gets shot in the stomach and is barely rescued by Dreamer. Caitlin and her kids rescue his life by the skin of their teeth via a very risky surgery.
* PerceptionFilter: His power allows him to make others think he's invisible, but he can't fool electronic surveillance. It's also implied there's a limit to how many people he can hide from at once, though he's good enough to hide from a small squad of Sentinel Services agents.
* VisibleInvisibility: There's a noticeable distortion in his camouflage, which becomes obvious when he moves. He can apparently fool people but not cameras, and has trouble fooling many people at once. Still, Sentinel Services fails to notice until Pulse disrupts his powers.

----
* AdaptationNameChange: In the comics, the only mutant employing the Fade alias is called [=DiLorenzo=].
* AdaptationalHeroism: In the comics, Fade is a crime lord.
* {{Invisibility}}: His power, which cloaks himself and whatever's he's touching, hiding it not only from sight but masking sound, as well.
* ProperlyParanoid: Was initially suspicious of Reed just turning up at his bar while being hunted and he was right to be, as he was ordered to lead Turner to the Mutant Underground.
* TheResenter: He gets very pissed when he meets Reed again at the hideout, even getting into a fight with him. Thankfully, he is later convinced that he is on their side.

* DarkAndTroubledPast: After being kicked out of his house for being a mutant he fell really low until he was recruited by a group who had him helping them running cons and stealing jewelry
* {{Expy}}: He's based on Jason Wyngarde, a.k.a. Mastermind, who already had a counterpart in the ''X-Men'' films in the form of Jason Stryker.
* MasterOfIllusion: He can create visual and auditory illusions.
* PutOnABus: In "eXtreme measures" he's sent to another cell of the Underground.

!!The Hellfire Club
[[folder:In General]]
A secret society of mutants that also fights for the protection and preservation of their race, the Hellfire Club is less discriminating in their tactics than the Underground.

----
* EvilCounterpart: To the Mutant Underground.

!!!The Inner Circle
[[folder:In General]]
* TheChessmaster: The Inner Circle is playing a careful long game in the war to save mutantkind. The Cuckoos are...less patient.
* ChessMotif: As in the comics, chess is a prominent aspect of their imagery. The Cuckoos even derisively remark on their usage of the chess metaphor.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: They don't agree to the Cuckoos' plan to [[spoiler:tip off Sentinel Services to the location of an Underground safehouse, as it puts mutants at risk. That it placed the ''Strucker'' children, whom the Inner Circle wants for their own ends, in the crossfire exacerbated it further.]]

!!!The Frost Sisters
[[folder:In General]]

[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cuckoo.PNG]]

->'''Portrayed by:''' Skyler Samuels

Identical triplet sisters, the Cuckoos are powerful telepaths in their own right. However they are able to combine their telepathy into a HiveMind which grants them considerable power. Their three known members are Esme, Sophie, and Phoebe, however it's hinted that the other two may still be out there.
----
* ActingForTwo: Skyler Samuels is actually Acting for Three by playing all three of the Cuckoos.
* AgeLift: The Cuckoos are teenagers in the comics, however they're adult women when introduced in the series.
* AntiHero: For a while. Esme has no trouble manipulating everyone in her path to save her sisters, while the Three-in-One together [[spoiler:drop any pretenses about being "heroic" and force an ''entire'' Sentinel Services squad to commit a PsychicAssistedSuicide.]]
* CompositeCharacter: Of the Stepford Cuckoos with the three Frost sisters (Emma, Adrienne and Cordelia Frost)
* CreepyBlueEyes: Their eyes glow blue when they use their powers.
* CreepyTwins: Well, creepy triplets.
* FinishingEachOthersSentences: When not using VoiceOfTheLegion, the Cuckoos have a habit of passing their sentences around among each other, with one starting, one speaking in the middle, and the third completing it.
* FreudianTrio: Per Samuels, this is how the Three-in-One interact as individuals, with Esme as the Ego.
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: Their eyes glow blue when they use their powers. When all three Cuckoos are connected in their HiveMind, they shine like ''high beams''.
* HiveMind: When working together they form a telepathic hive mind, combining their powers and making the whole exponentially more powerful than each of the sisters alone. For example, Esme by herself needed to be fairly close to anyone she controlled, and had to manipulate Sentinel Services' agents one at a time. The Three-in-One together could take on ''an entire group at once''.
* JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope: Esme is manipulative and self-centered when introduced but has reasons the mutants and audience find easy to sympathize with and her power abuse isn't so different from other desperate moves for loved ones we've seen. [[spoiler:Then she breaks off the Mutant Underground team - who might have reservations about what she's about to do - and she and her liberated sisters kill everyone in the Sentinel Services convoy task force with PsychicAssistedSuicide and homicide. And show no emotion about it beyond a smile.]]
* ManipulativeBastard: [[spoiler:The Cuckoos tip off Sentinel services to the location of an Underground safehouse in [="3x1"=], in order to show their main leadership just what the Hound program is capable of. Although [[EvenEvilHasStandards the Inner Circle objects to the risk]], their plan works.]]
* MeaningfulName: Much like their comics counterpart's initials spelled SPICE as an homage to that one music group, Esme, Sophie and Phoebe's initials spell ESP.
* MythologyGag: Sophie and Phoebe gave their last name as "Cuckoo" to troll the cops when they were arrested. In the books the Three-In-One are known collectively as the Stepford Cuckoos.
* ShadowArchetype: To Andy and Lauren, as another example of siblings who together become exponentially powerful. Season One's BigBad uses both sibling groups to explain his plan for combining non-related mutants' powers together.
* {{Telepath}}: They can sense the thoughts of those nearby and manipulate them however they choose. When they're able to combine their powers, their abilities increase ''exponentially''.
* TwinTelepathy: The Cuckoos are all psychically linked to one another, to the point that when her sisters were captured by Sentinel Services, Esme was ''physically'' in pain from the psychic feedback of their distress. Once the Three-in-One are reunited, their psychic powers are magnified ''exponentially''.
* VoiceOfTheLegion: The general effect when all three of them speak in sync.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Although their methods put them at odds with the Underground, the foremost concern of the Cuckoos is to protect mutantkind. Even the Inner Circle are put off by their methods, though they begrudgingly admit the three do get results despite the messes they make.

[[folder:Sophie Frost]]
!!Sophie Frost

One of the three Frost Sisters, Sophie was held by Campbell as part of the Hound Program, along with her sister Phoebe, until their rescue by Esme.
----
* AdaptationalVillainy: Sophie was the most unambiguously good of the original Five-in-One prior to them joining the X-Men. Here, like the others, she's a part of the Hellfire Club.
* FreudianTrio: As with Esme, Sophie is stated by Skyler Samuels to be part of this with Esme and Phoebe.
* SparedByTheAdaptation: Sophie was the first of the original Five-In-One to be killed in the comics. In the show she's one of the three known Cuckoos.

!!Phoebe Frost

One of the three Frost Sisters, Phoebe was held by Campbell as part of the Hound Program, along with her sister Sophie, until their rescue by Esme.
----
* FreudianTrio: As with Esme, Phoebe is stated by Skyler Samuels to be part of this with Esme and Sophie.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Esme Frost]]
!!Esme Frost

Esme introduces herself to the Resistance as a refugee telepath. However she is soon revealed to have an agenda of her own.
----
* BigSisterInstinct: It's yet to be established whether Esme actually is the eldest of the triplets, but regardless she'll move heaven and hell to rescue her sisters from Trask no matter the cost, and manipulates the entire Underground into giving her the opportunity to rescue them.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: She appears harmless and even helped out the Mutant Underground initially, but she doesn't give a damn about any faction beyond what they can do for her sisters, and will lie and manipulate all forces to get what she wants.
* TheDeterminator: Esme is driven to rescue her sisters from Sentinel Services, and nearly falls into a HeroicBSOD when the first attempt fails after Turner successfully pieces together the Underground's plan to carry out a raid of Trask Industries.
* FreudianTrio: Esme is stated to be the Ego by Skylar Samuels.
* IAmNotLeftHanded: She pretends to be capable of just reading thoughts when she can actually control the minds of others.
* ManipulativeBastard: When she's first "rescued" by the Underground, she ingratiates herself by exposing a Hound infiltrating the group of refugees. She then dips into the memories of the members of the Mutant Underground to know how to push them in the direction she wants, [[spoiler:gets the Struckers to try negotiating with Jace then plays them up as the bad guys when they pursue her suggestion, and then tazes Marcos as soon as she's close enough to induce the massacre of the Sentinel Services agents]].
* NotInThisForYourRevolution: Esme plays along with the Underground, but her loyalty is ultimately only to her sisters, and she will manipulate ''anyone'' she has to in order to achieve her goals.
* SparedByTheAdaptation: Esme in the comics was part of the original Five-in-One, but was also the second to die and was never part of the final Three-in-One. Here, she appears to be one of the surviving Three.
* UnderestimatingBadassery: Because of her youth and the non-physical nature of her power, Esme was grossly underestimated with one of the main undergrounders even dismissing her as "she's just a kid". This comes back to bite EVERYONE in the ass.

[[/folder]]

!!Sentinel Services

[[folder:In General]]
An organization charged with apprehending mutant fugitives. They operate independently from conventional law enforcement.
----
* TheDreaded: The Underground worries over regular law enforcement as it is, but learning that ''Sentinel Services'' has become involved raises the bar even further.
* KickTheSonOfABitch: It's ''really'' hard to feel bad for them when [[spoiler:the Frost Sisters unleash their combined telepathy on them, forcing many of their agents to commit PsychicAssistedSuicide]].
* MeaningfulName: Their name abbreviates to "[[NaziGermany SS]]." And their actions very much fit the metaphor.
* MythologyGag: Their name comes from the infamous giant murder-bots that have long been mainstays of the X-Men mythos.
* StateSec: Ostensibly subject to the Department of Justice to manage mutant attacks, but they are ''extremely'' well-armed and equipped, often sporting military-grade equipment. They also have the authority to co-opt local police.
* {{Unperson}}: Hinted to be the fate of mutants who wind up in their hands; rather than a very likely short life in prison, those in the custody of Sentinel Services simply disappear, never to be seen again.

[[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jace.png]]

->'''Portrayed by:''' Coby Bell

->''"This is the Sentinel Services. If you try to flee or resist, we will use deadly force."''

A high-ranking agent of Sentinel Services who gets dispatched to capture the Struckers. He's also trying to bring down the Mutant Underground.
----
* AmbiguouslyEvil: It's clear that especially from a mutant POV, Sentinel Services is bad news and disappears people on a regular basis. It's also clear that society at large treats mutants as akin to terrorists (Andy's incident at the school is straight up reported as an intentional attack on children), and most would consider Turner a hero.
* BaldOfEvil: Or Bald of AmbiguouslyEvil maybe.
* CompositeCharacter: His backstory is similar to the latest [[http://marvel.wikia.com/wiki/X-Cutioner_(Alex%27s_father)_(Earth-616) X-Cutioner]], who also lost a child in a similar manner.
* DistressedDude: Gets kidnapped by Marcos and Lorna in order to get him to reveal what Sentinel Services did to Pulse. [[spoiler:Dreamer accidentally makes him forget about the death of his daughter while probing his mind.]]
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: He tells Kate that he has children too. [[spoiler: His daughter was killed by a mutant.]]
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Possible example of this or possibly just him being an InspectorJavert: he isn't at all comfortable with the idea of his prisoners being taken by "contractors". After his MindRape he changes his mind about it. However, he is still appalled by Dr. Campbell's methods of getting what he wants and argues against it.
* FreudianExcuse: [[spoiler: His daughter was killed in the crossfire of a battle between the X-Men and the Brotherhood.]]
* TheHeavy: Not really the BigBad, since he is just one of many goverment officials after all, but he is left in charge of bringing down the Mutant Underground and he's definitely the most fleshed out Sentinel Services agent.
* HeelFaceDoorSlam: Every time he's given reason to reconsider how callous to mutant rights he's being and actually treat them like people, circumstances arise that justifies stronger conviction.
* InspectorJavert: His job is to arrest mutants who break the law, even if they did so through no fault of their own. He's willing to take children from their parents and harass Reed's family if he thinks it will lead him to a bigger arrest. [[spoiler:After losing Polaris, he's determined to target every associate of the Mutant Underground network regardless of how loose their connection might be.]]
* ItsPersonal: He makes it clear to Dreamer in no uncertain terms that he's not hunting the Underground because of law and order, but because of this.
* {{Jerkass}}: He has a bit of a chip on his shoulder, especially with mutants. Escalates after [[spoiler: accidentally being forced to forget then relive the grief of his daughter's death.]]
* JerkassHasAPoint: After he's {{Mind Rape}}d and forced to experience the grief of his daughter dying from scratch, it's hard to not think he has a point about mutants being terrorist monsters.
* JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope: While his daughter's death has always been a factor in his actions, he always acted lawfully and acted within the proper procedures. After [[spoiler: getting {{Mind Rape}}d by Dreamer]], he only cares about winning no matter whose rights he has to step on, even selling out criminal information to what he once denounced as a private contractor and tapping into phones without a warrant. When the latter is pointed out to him, he yells at the man who did it.
* KnowWhenToFoldEm: He's shown to be a competent and determined tactical commander in "eXit strategy." He's also not particularly afraid of mutant powers, pursuing the Struckers after both kids use them. However, [[spoiler:once Polaris gets loose and takes the guns away from him and his men, he immediately orders a full-scale retreat.]]
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: He ends up forgetting [[spoiler:his daughter's death]] thanks to an interrupted mind probe [[spoiler:by Dreamer]].
* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: [[spoiler:After a conversation with the Struckers and additional motivation from his wife, he really seems to think about his actions and actually gets the mutant prisoners out of Trask Industries...only to see all of his men brutally slaughtered by Esme, which will doubtlessly only strengthen his hatred.]]
* PunchClockVillain: He's much calmer and less violent than most anti-mutant government employees, including his partner. While he is very firm that he ''will'' be taking the mutants in over the objections of their mother, he also attempts to negotiate with her and convince her that it's for their own protection. He even sympathizes with Reed choosing his family over his job.
* SmugSnake: He tends to talk like a sarcastic jerkass whenever he thinks he has the upper hand on someone. His veneer of arrogance is shattered whenever his plans are foiled.
* VillainousBreakdown: First when Reed abandons his mission of leading him to the Mutant Underground and then a major one after Reed and Lorna escape captivity. And he really loses it when Dreamer inadvertantly forces him to experience learning about his daughter's death all over again, openly telling his team he doesn't care about following the law while bringing the group in.
* WouldHitAGirl: Has no problems with violently pushing Kate to the ground.
* WouldHurtAChild: And no problems with ordering fire on the Strucker kids too.
* WrongGenreSavvy: Turner (and Sentinel Services) are quite comfortable and effective with a law enforcement-type approach to the Mutant Underground, most of whose powers are only annoying or weak. There's a lethal blindspot that there may still be X-man grade mutants capable of true weaponized mass destruction, which is exactly where Season 1 goes. [[spoiler:Esme and her sisters finally bring this home to him by murdering his entire team including his partner Ed at will.]]

* NumberTwo: Turner has authority over Weeks, giving orders for him to carry out during missions.
* PsychicAssistedSuicide: He's [[spoiler:made to shoot himself from below the jaw by Esme.]]

* DyingAsYourself: [[spoiler: He regains his sense of self in his final moments, apologizing to John for what he's done.]]
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: Gains these quite noticeably when his abilities are active.
* HunterOfHisOwnKind: He helps hunting his own kind down and keeps their powers in check.
* PowerNullifier: His power is to shut down systems, and he can also shut down mutant powers.
* TokenSuper: Seemingly the only mutant in the ranks of Sentinel Services. He's evidently the beta-run for the Hound Program, as Sentinel Services starts deploying more of them when Campbell manages to work out a deal with Jace.

* {{Dehumanization}}: Repeatedly labels mutants in degrading ways like ''assets'' or ''animals''.
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: As many fans pointed out, Dr. Campbell's obsession with experimenting on siblings and pairs heavily resembles Dr. Menegele, the infamous AngelOfDeath.
* FauxAffablyEvil: Acts friendly and social, but it's clear that this is nothing but a veneer for the ice-cold sociopath underneath.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: Gets a rather nasty burn on his face after getting caught in [[spoiler:Otto Strucker's]] blast.
* KickTheDog: [[spoiler:Killing Sonya in cold blood just to get the Strucker children to cooperate.]]

* NecessarilyEvil: He's aware that the Hound program is inhumane, but compares it to using the Atom Bomb on Japan to end World War II.
* SlaveryIsASpecialKindOfEvil: What he does to the Hounds is ''horrible'', and even hardened agents like Turner are creeped out by this.
