His resume includes: Wolverine's Only Friend John Wraith, Wade Wilson (though Stryker somewhat brings him back brainwashed), Silverfox, twice. Bradley and finally Blob (at least that's what's implied by his dialogue with Wraith). Meaning the only main cast members he never killed were Wolverine, Gambit, Agent Zero and Stryker.
• Lightning Bruiser
• The Only One Allowed to Defeat You
• Psycho for Hire
• Psychotic Smirk
• Scarily Competent Tracker
• Token Evil Teammate: He's arguably one the few pure evil members of the Brotherhood unlike the others who are simplyWell Intentioned Extremists.

• Badass
  • Badass in a Nice Suit
  • Badass Grandpa
• Beethoven Was an Alien Spy: Caused the Cuban Missile Crisis.
• Big Bad: Of First Class.
• Composite Character: Of the comic version of Shaw and Mr. Sinister.
• Deadpan Snarker
• Diabolical Mastermind: This version of the character would not, save for the mutant powers, have been out of place as a villain on The Avengers.
• Energy Absorption: Any energy, even the kinetic force propelling bullets, is something he can fully absorb into his body, and it is stated that this is how he was able to retain a youthful body. However, retaining his youth is literally the least he can do with it, as he is capable of sending the energy right at someone or something. His absorption skills are potent enough to also absorb the entire explosive output equivalent to that of a nuclear bomb.
  • Pragmatic Adaptation: Given that in the comics his power is depicted by having Shaw growing and the film's producers though it was too Hulk-like, the VFX artists instead did it in a way that resembles full body Rapid Fire Fisticuffs.
• Evil Mentor: To Erik.
• Evilutionary Biologist
• Faux Affably Evil
• Implacable Man
• Jerkass
• Leitmotif: "La Vie en Rose."
• Mad Scientist: As Klaus Schmidt.

• Older Than They Look

• Breath Weapon: Not quite breath, but she can spit Fireballs.

• Face Heel Turn
• Femme Fatale
• Hooker with a Heart of Gold
• Mistreatment-Induced Betrayal: She was sick and tired of the CIA grunts mocking her and her teammates for her being a mutant (enough to say that even men gawking at her in her former job at a strip club was actually better than this), so she figured that she might as well defect to the Hellfire Club since at least they had some respect for her mutant abilities.
• Ms. Fanservice
• Stripperiffic: Her outfit. Justified, as she used to work as a stripper prior to joining the X-Men and she needs her back open to use her wings.
• Winged Humanoid: Her most obvious mutation is insectoid wings, though she's able to disguise them as tattoos.
• Woman in Black: Even before her recruitment, she's already wearing black.

Senator Robert Kelly

• Anti-Villain
• Alas, Poor Villain
• Butt Monkey
• The Extremist Was Right: He might be a complete Jerkass and fear-mongerer, but at the same time, given what Magneto gets up to during the course of the films and that we later learn his aide was killed and impersonated by Mystique for "quite some time"... he has a point.
• Fantastic Racism: Generally makes McCarthy-like statements about mutants and voices the desire to imprison all of them.
• Karmic Transformation
