X-Men: Evolution was filled with a wide range of characters. Here is a page to learn more about the main cast.Warning! Major Spoilers below!
open/close all folders The X-Men The Students ![]() Cyclops/Scott Summers Code Name: CyclopsReal Name: Scott Summers"No, we're the X-Men. We're not kids anymore. You trained us, and you know something, we're good. Very good."Voiced by Kirby MorrowThe leader of Professor Xavier's students. A mutant who shoots high-intensity beams from his eyes. Unfortunately for him, he can never shut this power off. So he must always wear special visors or glasses made of ruby-quartz. Due to having a strong sense of morals and drive to be the leader, Scott can sometimes come off as a "boy scout" or "do-gooder". But he also has an extremely competitive side and tries hard to hold his temper in check, which can sometimes get the better of him. In contrast to his reputation for being stiff, he surprisingly shows a good sense of humor. During the series, Scott reunited with his brother Alex, who he thought died in the plane crash both were involved in.
![]() Jean Grey Code Name: UnknownReal Name: Jean Grey"It bugs me to always be treated like the weaker sex!"Voiced by Venus TerzoJean was the most popular of the X-Men who attended Bayville High. Beautiful, athletic, and smart, she seemed to not have the problems the others faced trying to fit in and be normal. But her growing powers made her extremely insecure and showed she had her own burdens to bear. And she was ultimately shunned by her former friends when revealed to be a mutant. Jean dated Duncan Matthews for the first two seasons, but later fell for Scott, who had secretly loved her from afar. Jean also has a very close father and daughter type relationship with Professor Xavier.
![]() Nightcrawler/Kurt Wagner Code Name: NightcrawlerReal Name: Kurt Wagner"Chicks dig the fuzzy dude!"Voiced by Brad SwaileNightcrawler is a blue, furry mutant whose power is the ability to teleport. He uses a holographic image inducer in public to appear as a normal teenage boy. Nightcrawler is the biological son of Mystique, who abandoned him a long time ago. They don't get along.In contrast to his demonic appearence, Kurt is kind, fun loving, and a loyal friend. But there also is a sense of sadness about him as he longs to be accepted by the world outside despite his appearance.
![]() Rogue Code Name: Rogue"Me and Miss Popularity there are worlds apart, galaxies, but then I realized something. She would do the same thing for me."Voiced by Meghan BlackRogue is a mysterious mutant who absorbs the memories and abilities of others through touch. Due to her powers, Rogue has become withdrawn, bitter, anti-social, and sullen. Only after learning to trust the other X-Men, does she begin to open up. Rogue is Mystique's adopted daughter. But Rogue turns her back on Mystique after learning that she was only using her and joins the X-Men. She develops a massive crush on Cyclops, but later accepted that Scott loved Jean and not her.
![]() Shadowcat/Kitty Pryde Code Name: ShadowcatReal Name: Kitty Pryde"I don't have any gifts, just a curse."Voiced by Maggie Blue O'HaraA mutant from Northbrook, Illinois whose ability allows her to become intangible. Shadowcat is the youngest member of the team and is characterized by her upbeat nature and cheerfulness. She usually pals around with Nightcrawler since they are about the same age. Her on-again off-again romance with Avalanche was a subplot that continued through all four seasons. She first develops a crush on him while still in school, but it turned out he was only using her to steal test answers. Later, even though they are on opposite teams, Lance saves her life and her opinion of him changes. They date for a while, but their differences break them up, before ultimately reigniting their romantic relationship after the fight against Apocalypse.
The Teachers ![]() Wolverine/Logan Code Name: WolverineReal Name: Logan"We're definitely gonna need more instructors. An' maybe a couple of tanks."Voiced by Scott McNeilThe X-Men's top fighter and chief drill instructor to the students. His keen senses help him track down adversaries and alert him of danger ahead. His healing powers make him nearly impossible to defeat in a brawl. Adamantium claws are capable of shredding enemies and just about any inanimate object as well. His past is a mystery to everyone, including himself. It is a rather lengthy past as well because his healing factor has drastically slowed the aging of his body. He was already an adult by World War II. Unlike in other X-Men series, Wolverine plays a minor role in X-Men: Evolution and is more of a Papa Wolf than carousing Badass.
![]() Storm/Ororo Munroe Code Name: StormReal Name: Ororo Munroe"I'm a weather-witch, not a snow plow. I'm doing the best I can."Voiced by Kirsten WilliamsonOne of Professor Xavier's top teachers, Storm is seen as a role model by the students. She is also one of the most powerful mutants alive due to her ability to manipulate the weather. One of her few weaknesses is her claustrophobia which was explored in her one spotlight episode African Storm.
![]() Beast/Hank McCoy Code Name: BeastReal Name: Hank McCoy"I can see now that teaching mutants will require entirely different skills."Voiced by Michael KopsaHank McCoy was a popular teacher at Bayville High who held a dark secret. His mutation gave him a burly physique with large hands and feet and unparalleled agility, but also a feral side to his mind. After school hours, he worked on a serum he hoped would stop his primal regressions when simply reciting Shakespeare wasn't enough to keep him focused. But unfortunately his beastly side was set free by an attempt to make a better serum, turning him into a blue furred beast. He damaged the school, also threatening Principal Kelly in an uncontrollable rage. The X-Men eventually were able to locate and subdue him. Soon the rage subsided, but life would never be the same. His rampage at the school and his drastic and permanent change in physical appearance would make any public appearance too startling for a general population unaware of the mutants among them. Hank remained at the Xavier Institute as a teacher for the New Recruits. Similar to Wolverine and Storm, he is more of a bit player due to the focus being on the students.
![]() Professor X/Charles Xavier Code Name: Professor XReal Name: Charles Xavier"You know, handling defeat is as much mark of your character as coming home the victor. And from what I see, this was a lesson, apparently, much needed."Voiced by David KayeThe world's most powerful telepath and founder of the X-Men. His goal is to maintain a peaceful co-existence between humans and mutants. He created a school which trains mutants to use their powers responsibly and discreetly in order to prevent panic from the general human population. This philosophy puts him at odds with mutants such as Magneto who believe mutants should be dominating humanity rather than hiding from it.
New Mutants/New Recruits Code Name: IcemanReal Name: Robert 'Bobby' DrakeThe unofficial leader of the 'baby' group the New Recruits. Bobby joined, along with his team, during the break between season 1 and 2 and appears mostly in B-plots and eventually becomes the Sixth Ranger once Spyke leaves the main team. YMMV on whether or not he's the coolest new addition or the Too Dumb to Live Scrappy who ruins the series (Thought primarily the first option to the less crazy fans).
Code Name: CannonballReal Name: Samuel 'Sam' GuthrieThe tall, blond southern boy who joined at the same time as the other New Recruits. More well rounded and likable than Bobby in some terms, he's easily identifiable by being a head taller than most of the students, even some of the original cast.
Code Name: JubileeReal Name: Jubilation LeeUsually seen with Bobby, Sam, and Jamie, Jubilee is the second most seen female mamber of the New Recruits during Season 2. She's Put on a Bus despite proving to be rather popular amongst some of the fans when the executives decided there were too many characters. She has the ability to shoot firework-like 'plasmoids' either in the shape of actual fireworks or beams. Easily identifiable by her yellow jacket.
Code Name: MagmaReal Name: Amara AquillaThe only one to get an episode of focus (Two actually) but also the most powerful. Magma, as her name sugests, can generate heat and fire, along with to some extent control lava. A princess in her home country, Amara is one of the more girly members of the group, not to mention a little of a Shrinking Violet at first.
Code Name: WolfsbaneReal Name: Rahne SinclairA Scottish mutant who can turn into a wolf or half whenever she wants who primarily spent her appearences in the background or as a wolf, but got an episode or two speaking. Like Jubilee, she was written out of the series, despite being popular, thought her lack of importance to any plot is a noted factor.
Code Name: SunspotReal Name: Roberto Da CostaA rich Brazilian boy with the power to absorb solar energy to gain super human capabilities, such as strength, speed, agility, and, in the first season two episode, fly. He does very little for the show but still retains a small fanbase of Needs More Love type fans.
Code Name: BerserkerReal Name: Ray CrispA Morlock in the comics, Ray is arguably one of the more popular characters in the series who got considerably more development here than his comic self.
Code Name: Multiple ManReal Name: James 'Jamie' MadroxThe youngest of the ensemble, Jamie is like the little brother none of them wanted, his power to duplicate himself, his clothes, and any object he's holding but only when hit with external kinetic energy (such as being hit/knocked over), which causes him to get in the way due to his clumsiness.
Ex-Members ![]() Spyke/Evan Daniels Code Name: SpykeReal Name: Evan Daniels"Come on Rogue, get with the program. Shake that thing."Voiced by Neil DenisA mutant from New York City and also Storm's nephew. He has the ability to project bonelike spikes from his skin. Spyke is stubborn and lacks respect for authority. This often puts him in conflict with the other X-Men. When his powers can't be controlled he leaves the X-Men, and joins the Morlocks, becoming their champion.
The Brotherhood The Brotherhood ![]() Avalanche/Lance Alvers Code Name: AvalancheReal Name: Lance Alvers"You're making it yours Kitty. Once you own it, nothing can own you."Voiced by Christopher GreyA mutant with the ability to manipulate the earth by generating seismic waves from his body. Avalanche came from the same home town as Shadowcat, but had a much different upbringing. He grew up as a streetwise orphan who seemed angry at the world. Confused and alienated, he was a perfect target for Mystique and the Brotherhood. Lance was one of the most complex characters. He started off as a punk, before becoming more of a troubled youth, and then ultimately showing responsibility and maturity. His romantic interest in Kitty Pryde and their relationship played a major role in his attempts to change. It even leads him to attempt a major Heel Face Turn by joining the X-Men. As the oldest Brotherhood member, Lance is often the defacto leader and feels responsible for the others.
![]() Quicksilver/Pietro Maximoff Code Name: QuicksilverReal Name: Pietro Maximoff"Look, When you live as fast as I do, there ain't enough things to occupy my time. I gotta entertain myself."Voiced by Richard Ian CoxA mutant that can move at the speed of sound. Pietro is arrogant, deceptive and his loyalty is always in question. He would betray the Brotherhood and his sister Wanda at the command of his father Magneto, yet showed no compassion at his father's disappearance at the hands of Apocalypse. Pietro has a stormy relationship with his twin sister, although their relationship, as well the one with his Brotherhood teammates, improve during season four.
![]() Toad/Todd Tolensky Code Name: ToadReal Name: Todd Tolensky"Hey, if you can't be cool, be feared. My momma always told me that."Voiced by Noel FisherA repugnant mutant who physically resembles a humanoid toad. And like a toad, can leap great distances, and possesses an extremely long and agile tongue. A social outcast, he has found some acceptance with the Brotherhood, where his talents for thievery and petty crime can be put to good use. Toad is often portrayed as the whipping boy of the Brotherhood, but he also is treated like a little brother, and is even protected by Blob. Toad is known for his extremely poor hygiene which doesn't help him in his attempts to get Wanda Maximoff to like him.
![]() The Blob/Fred Dukes Code Name: BlobReal Name: Fred Dukes"Unstoppable? Meet the unmovable!"Voiced by Michael DobsonA humongous boy from Texas, Fred Dukes is among the strongest mutants in the world. Blob is the least intelligent of the Brotherhood, but his brawn helps counterbalance his lack of brains. His hefty build and less than charming personality often make him a target of public ridicule. The social isolation and bad temper made him a prime candidate for recruitment into the Brotherhood by Mystique. He was initially treated well by the X-Men until he attempted to kidnap Jean.
![]() Scarlet Witch/Wanda Maximoff Code Name: Scarlet WitchReal Name: Wanda Maximoff"You haven't seen me angry, until now!"Voiced by Kelly SheridanWanda was sent to an asylum by her father Magneto shortly after her mutant powers emerged. Magneto claimed it was necessary because he was unable to help control her dangerous powers, but Wanda always resented him for it. Mystique helped Wanda escape from the asylum in order to bolster the Brotherhood ranks. However, Wanda was more interested in revenge against her father than fighting for the Brotherhood. Wanda suffers from emotional damage from her years locked up in an asylum. But she appears to regain much of her sanity as the series progresses. Wanda has the ability to "hex" other mutants' powers to make them go haywire.
Their Leaders ![]() Magneto/Erik Lehnsherr Code Name: MagnetoReal Name: Erik Lehnsherr"And now the whole world will know of us."Voiced by Christopher JudgeThe mysterious Magneto is one of the most powerful mutants alive. He has a long history with Charles Xavier, both as a friend and an enemy. Magneto has given up on the idea of peaceful co-existence between mutants and humans. His philosophy is in direct opposite to that of Xavier, who still believes mutants and humans can live together in relative peace. Magneto envisions himself and other mutants dominating over humanity as the only way to prevent bloodshed between the two groups. However, Magneto's dream is threatened by Apocalypse who has his own plans for world domination.
![]() Mystique/Raven Darkholme Code Name: MystiqueReal Name: Raven Darkholme"Come on boys, let's get out of here before you're invited to a slumber party."Voiced by Colleen WheelerMystique is the leader of the Brotherhood, but took orders from Magneto, until leaving him after she felt he questioned her loyalty and talent. She is intelligent, cunning, deceptive and dangerous with her with shapeshifting abilities. She changed into human form and used the name Raven Darkholme to became the Bayville High school principal, giving her the opportunity to monitor Xavier's students as well as her Brotherhood members. Mystique infiltrated and destroyed Xavier's school by disguising herself as Professor X. Several students barely escaped with their lives. She raised Rogue and is Nightcrawler's mother, although neither knew her true identity growing up.
Ex-Members ![]() Boom-Boom/Tabitha Smith Code Name: Boom-BoomReal Name: Tabitha Smith"Yeah! Look out below. Boom Boom is bombin' in. Whoohooo!"Voiced by Megan LeitchBoom-Boom is a mutant with the ability to create explosive balls of energy. Her father took advantage of her mutant abilities to commit crimes when she was younger. She eventually found a home at the Institute, although her stay was short-lived. She found she fit in much better with the rebellious Brotherhood and liked having four boys she could manipulate and pull pranks on. She was kicked out of the Brotherhood when Mystique returned. She is later seem hanging out with the X-Men through her friendship with Magma, but never rejoins them and appears to live on her own. While not malicious, the lack of discipline and mischievousness made her a troublesome guest for anyone willing to take her in.
Acolytes ![]() Sabretooth/Victor Creed Code Name: SabretoothReal Name: Victor Creed"One shall fall by the other's hand. Our destiny we can't change it."Voiced by Michael DonovanA violent man who has a deep enmity against Logan. Little is revealed about Sabretooth's past except that he had some involvement with Wolverine and the Weapon X project (possibly being a test subject), and that he is one of Magneto's most loyal followers.
![]() Gambit/Remy LeBeau Code Name: GambitReal Name: Remy LeBeau"It's the X-Men, and it looks like they want to play!"Voiced by Alessandro JulianiTrained as a thief, Gambit is a mercenary who will give his services to the highest bidder. He appears to have developed quite the soft spot for Rogue, especially during the season four episode, "Cajun Spice", in which he gives her his favourite card (the Queen of Hearts, his "lucky lady") at the end.
![]() Colossus/Piotr Rasputin Code Name: ColossusReal Name: Piotr Rasputin"I am not a lackey! I... I have no choice."Voiced by Michael AdamthwaitePiotr is pressured into serving Magneto, who had abducted his family. [[He appeared to have found and freed them before the end of the series.]]
![]() Pyro/John Allerdyce Code Name: PyroReal Name: John Allerdyce"Awful bold of you, coming here, girl! Or are you just stupid? "Voiced by Trevor DevallPyro is a crazy pyromaniac with a cackling laugh and a broken Australian accent. He has an affinity for destruction and complete ignorance of consequence border on outright insanity. In one notable scene he is watching footage of Magneto's supposed demise at the hands of Apocalypse, rewinding, playing back, and laughing several times. He differs from his comic book counterpart in that he needs a constant stream of flame to sustain his power.
![]() Mastermind/Jason Wyngarde Code Name: MastermindReal Name: Jason WyngardeVoiced by Campbell LaneHe's the gang's telepath. While his comic book counterpart could only cast illusions, this version of Mastermind uses telepathy, as well as reading and even rewriting memories of other people like what he did to Wanda.
Apocalypse Apocalypse ![]() Apocalypse/En Sabah Nur Code Name: ApocalypseReal Name: En Sabah Nur"The future came to me in that craft- I have embraced it and merged with its power so that I may lead the evolution of the human race."Voiced by David KayeApocalypse is an ancient Egyptian mutant; he's the oldest character on the show, and also the most powerful. Milennia ago, he conquered Egypt and planned to use advanced technology (stolen from the previous Pharaoh, who had "descended from the sky") to reshape the world in his own image- turning many humans into mutants, and killing the rest. His court balked at the idea and used his own technology to imprison him; however, Apocalypse was still able to reach out telepathically and manipulate his release. Steals the spotlight from Magneto as premier villain in the later part of the series.
![]() Mesmero Code Name: MesmeroReal Name: Unknown"You don't know who you're interfering with here..."Voiced by Ron HalderApocalypse's servant; whether a mutant, a mystic, or something different is unknown, but he possesses psychic abilities that allow him to confront even Xavier on his own level. Believing himself to be a servant of destiny, he manipulated both the X-men and the Acolytes to steal the three keys to Apocalypse's prison, expecting to be rewarded by being made his right hand. Instead, upon gaining his freedom the ancient mutant withdrew his minion's powers and left him to his fate.
Other Other Characters ![]() X-23 Code Name: X-23Real Name: Unknown (named Laura Kinney in the mainstream comics)"Protect me? I left to protect you!"Voiced by Andrea Libman (X23) and Brittney Irvin (Target X)Trained from birth by HYDRA to become the ultimate weapon, X-23 underwent the same Weapon X modifications as Wolverine, being given his healing factor and adamantium bones and claws. She escapes, breaks into rival spy agency SHIELD and researches the X Men, before stalking the students over the institute. She begins capturing all of them in a bid to lure Logan into a confrontation, believing him to be responsible for what was done to her. Logan convinces her that he, too, is a victim, before chasing her off so that Nick Fury wouldn't find her.She would later appear after HYDRA captures Wolverine, where the two would work together in a bid to survive as Logan tries to talk X-23 out of seeking revenge.
