Former X-Men

Archangel

Archangel/Warren Worthington III

^{Click here to see him as a horseman of Apocalypse}

Voiced by: Stephen Ouimette, René García (Latin American dub)

A billionaire mutant living a closeted life as a regular human.

---

• Ambiguous Situation: He originally appears as having no previous connection to the X-Men, and no X-Men member, including Xavier, had met him before Apocalypse turned him into his Horseman of Death. However, later flashbacks - and a photographic portrait - show him as a member of the original lineup alongside Scott, Hank, Jean and Bobby. Nevertheless, none of his appearances in the present address this issue.
• Arch-Enemy: He's one of Apocalypse's two Arch-Enemies (the other is Cable).
• Bad Butt: To a lesser degree than Wolverine, but much like how Logan cannot use his claws in lethal manners because of this show being a family-friendly cartoon, likewise Archangel isn't seen using his Razor Wings lethally.
• Category Traitor: Cable goes after him for funding the creation of the power-negating collars designed by Dr. Adler.
• Character Development: By "Beyond Good and Evil", he's mellowed out considerably from his previous appearances.
• Decomposite Character: In the comic story that "Captive Hearts" adapted, it was originally Warren that Callisto wanted, not Cyclops.
• Feather Flechettes: Uses this sometimes as his main offensive power, though Apocalypse is able to No-Sell it.
• I Just Want to Be Normal: The one major difference this version of Warren has from the comics' version — in the comics Warren becomes Archangel by making a Deal with the Devil after he lost his wings, trying to regain them; but here, he unwillingly becomes Archangel trying to lose his wings by undergoing an experimental procedure that he believes will get him rid of his mutation. Too bad he was actually duped by Apocalypse. This aspect of Archangel has permeated to other versions of the character, such as the one in X-Men: The Last Stand.
• Jerkass: His obsession with getting Apocalypse makes him pretty difficult to be around, forcing people to work unpaid overtime to find a way to kill his enemy, and screaming at the X-Men for not dropping everything to assist him.
• Revenge: He was, for a good while after breaking free from Apocalypse's control, concerned only with how to cause the most prejudice to the villain as possible.
  "I'll follow him to the ends of the Earth, through perdition's fire, until he breathes blood and rolls over! Split! Broken! FINISHED!"
• Sanity Slippage: As a consequence of being obsessed with revenge on Apocalypse. He gets better.
• Team Member in the Adaptation: Inverted. He starts off being unconnected to the X-Men as opposed to the comics version of Warren (who is one of its five original members). However, this is later changed via Retcon into him being a former X-Men member at some point.

Iceman

Iceman / Bobby Drake

• The Baby of the Bunch: Long before Jubilee, he was the youngest of the X-Men, and it showed. He was always pulling pranks and misbehaving, a fact Cyclops is still pretty sore about years later.
• Hot-Blooded: Somewhat ironic, given his powers, but Bobby is a very volatile person, and years away from the X-Men haven't done anything to cool him down. He comes back to their attention because he's on a rampage looking for Lorna, even attacking government facilities.
• An Ice Person: Somewhat self-explanatory with his powers.
• I Just Want to Be Normal: For the longest time, Bobby didn't want anything to do with fighting for mutant rights, and took up a job in accounting. The disagreement over this was why Polaris left him, since she knew he'd never accept her going back into the fray.
• Screw This, I'm Out of Here!: After Polaris was injured in a fight, they both quit the X-Men to take up a normal life.

X-Men Allies

Colossus

Piotr Rasputin

Voiced by: Robert Cait

A Russian migrant worker

---

• Adaptational Angst Upgrade: In Giant-Sized X-Men, the only reaction to Piotr smashing up a tractor was surprise. Here, because mutants are more well known when it happened and the tractor belonged to the Soviet government, he was immediately run off of the farm.
• Big Brother Instinct: Piotr's powers first activated when a tractor went out of control and headed towards his little sister.
• Civvie Spandex: Since he isn't an X-Man, he goes around in casual clothing and never wears his classic red and yellow suit from the comics.
• Gentle Giant: Piotr is at heart a good-natured farmboy, though as a consequence of that life is built like a tank even before he breaks out his mutant power.
• Hulking Out: Piotr gains a few inches whenever he turns into his steel form.
• Implacable Man: When he learns his parents have been abducted by the rogue generals working with Omega Red, he storms their base single-handed.
• Innocent Blue Eyes: Befitting his kind-hearted nature.
• Power Profit Potential: He is introduced while performing some demolition work barehanded.

Forge

Forge

Voiced by: Marc Strange (original series), Gil Birmingham (X-Men '97) (English); Alejandro Mayén, later replaced by Alejandro Illescas (Latin American dub)

A mutant inventor and former collaborator of the United States army. In Bishop's timeline, he will become the leader of the Resistance against Sentinels.

---

• Ambiguous Situation: He keeps his comic background of being a war veteran, but what war he was in isn't specified.
• Artificial Limbs: One leg and one arm are mechanical.
• The Atoner: He developed mutant power suppression technology on behalf of the American government, only for that tech to be used against the X-Men. This leads to him to try to help Storm regain her powers.
• Composite Character: Takes the job of managing X-Factor, which for the government team was Val Cooper's job in the comics.
• A Day in the Limelight: A semi-recurring character in the original series, he gets a major role in "The Phalanx Covenant", and in '97 is a main character in "Lifedeath".
• Gadgeteer Genius: His mutant powers allow him to invent technology without prior knowledge. This was used to develop the Power Nullifier tech used in Dr. Alder's collars and the X-Cutioner's weapon that depowered Storm.
• La Résistance: Part of the mutant resistance against the Sentinels, and aside from Bishop and later Shard, he seems to be the only guy they have left.
• The Leader: In the present day, he oversees X-Factor.
• Long-Lived: Evidently not a young man in the show's modern day, but he's still pretty sprightly in Bishop's time.
• Mission Control: He operates the time machine Bishop uses to jump back to the 20th century.
• Mr. Exposition: The other part of his job, filling Bishop in on what thing he needs to fix this time.

Time-travellers

Cable

Cable / Nathan Charles Summers

Voiced by: Lawrence Bayne (original series), Chris Potter (X-Men '97) (English), Jorge Santos (Latin American dub)

A mysterious vigilante, later revealed to be a time-traveller and enemy of Apocalypse.

---

• '90s Anti-Hero: He was one of the trope codifiers. He's elderly, gruff, and not terribly nice half the time he interacts with the X-Men, but he is trying to save his future.
• Adaptational Name Change: This version's full name is "Nathan Charles Summers", dropping the comic version's first middle name "Christopher".
• Adaptation Relationship Overhaul: While both versions had Madelyne Pryor as their birth mother, the comic version of Cable considers Jean to be his real mother (as she raised him) and would choose to save her over Madelyne in a heartbeat. This version only seems to have affection for Madelyne.
• Artificial Limb: His left arm is cybernetic.
• BFG: His main weapon.
• Determinator: He will stop Apocalypse, and nothing's going to stop him. Not even potentially sacrificing family members.
  Apocalypse: You have crossed a dozen lifetimes to stop me! When will you learn it cannot be done?
  Cable: Guess I'm just a slow learner.
• Early-Installment Weirdness: His first appearance has him show up in Genosha making trouble, apparently having some history with their government. This never comes up again, except going after Warren Worthington for funding the creation of the power-negating collars. He also doesn't have his trademark cybernetic arm.
• Earn Your Happy Ending: When last seen, he's returning to the future where, hopefully, Apocalypse is gone forever and his son is back from the dead, allowing him to live a life free of war.
• Failure Hero: Tries to warn the people of Genosha about an incoming Wild Sentinel attack, but he's unable to get anyone to hear him before the attack begins, and his computer drags him away. Judging by his remark before it happens, it's not his first attempt at doing so.
• Fights Like a Normal: He's a mutant with telekinetic powers, but most of the time he just uses his guns and martial arts prowess.
• Leitmotif: Gets his own theme music, an electronic piece.
• Mysterious Past: Jean manages to get a scan of his mind at one point (and for once, doesn't immediately faint) and gets several fragmentary glimpses, including one of what looks like her and Cyclops. Whether his backstory is quite as complicated as the comics was unknown, but Jean learns that he's important to their future. Cable also bitterly mentions that while he knows little about the X-Men as a whole, he does know about Cyclops and Jean Grey. X-Men '97 settles this with the birth of Scott and Madelyne Pryor's son, who has to be sent to the future in an attempt to cure him from Sinister's techno-organic virus. Cable later meets with Madelyne where the latter realizes who he is.
• O.O.C. Is Serious Business: His reappearance in "Remember It" has him frantic, even panicking, as he tries to get the people of Genosha to listen to him. And this is a man who stared down Apocalypse without blinking, which helps indicate just how bad things must be.
• Papa Wolf: Much of his motivation in "Time Fugitives" is finding a way to stop his son being erased from existence.
• Rebel Leader: He's the leader of the last remaining resistance against Apocalypse in the 40th century, which seems to consist of him and four other people.
• Teleportation: Uses his computer to bodyslide. It can bring along additional people.
• The Unfettered: Come "Beyond Good and Evil", he's so determined to kill Apocalypse for good he's willing to leave his son to die, which makes him even more bad-tempered than usual.
• Unknown Rival: He's hell-bent on getting Apocalypse, who barely acknowledges him beyond being a mildly irritating nuisance.
• Unwitting Instigator of Doom: One remark Cable makes to Apocalypse kickstarts his final plan to wipe out time itself.

Shard

Shard

Voiced by: Kay Tremblay (original series), Kimberly Woods (X-Men '97) (English)

• The Cameo: Appears briefly as a hallucination in the X-Men '97 episode "Fire Made Flesh" asking Bishop why he's abandoned her to stay in the "present" with the X-Men.
• Death Is Cheap: Killed by Nimrod during the events of "One Man's Worth", but time travel shenanigans mean it un-happens.
• Guest-Star Party Member: Joins up with the X-Men like Bishop in "Beyond Good and Evil".
• Only One Name: Understandable, since like her brother she wouldn't be given a surname until long after the show ended, and so it was unclear is Shard was her actual name or her code-name.
• Remember the New Guy?: Bishop never gave any indication he even had a sister in his first two appearances.
• Spared by the Adaptation: In the comics, Shard was badly injured by an Emplate (a kind of mutant vampire in the future) and never recovered, with her consciousness transferred into a hologram from that point onward.

Other Teams & Heroes

X-Factor

Havok, Strong Guy, Multiple Man, Wolfsbane, Polaris, Quicksilver

• Adapted Out: Val Cooper is not part of X-Factor in the original X-Men animated series, unlike in the comics, where she managed them for the US government. She ultimately isn't introduced until X-Men '97, where she still has no apparent affiliation with the team.
• Adaptational Angst Downgrade: The circumstances that led to Polaris winding up with X-Factor in the comics involved a prolonged case of Demonic Possession, being violently depowered, slightly different Demonic Possession and becoming the nexus of a Hate Plague. Here, she just couldn't stay out of the action.
• The Artifact: In the comics, X-Factor was an X-Men spin-off team formed by the original five, which is why the team have xs on their outfits. Here, they were independently formed by Forge without the X-Men even knowing they existed.
• Barrier Warrior: Much like Magneto, Polaris can generate barriers with her magnetic powers.
• The Big Guy: The aptly, if unimaginatively, named Strong Guy is the physically biggest and strongest member of the team.
• A Day in the Limelight: Quicksilver gets a starring role in "Family Ties".
• Good All Along: While hostile to the X-Men, Forge points out that they did break into their base, and while he knew the X-Men are also good, he figured it'd let his team test their abilities in combat. Needless to say, Wolverine's not amused by that.
• Hulking Out: Wolfsbane initially looks like a young woman, but in a fight turns into a humanoid wolf.
• Me's a Crowd: Multiple Man can create duplicates of himself via kinetic impact, including simply smacking his hands together.
• No-Sell: For reasons neither can figure out, Havok and Cyclops' energy blasts have no effect on one another, just like with Banshee and his brother Black Tom.
• No Such Agency: A government funded and supervised team, but one Charles knew nothing about, because Forge kept them a secret.
• Remember the New Guy?: Polaris and Iceman are introduced as former members of the X-Men who've just never been mentioned before.
• Super-Speed: Quicksilver's powers.
• Two Girls to a Team: Their only two gals are Wolfsbane and Polaris.
• The Voiceless: Neither Strong Guy, normally quite the talker, or Wolfsbane say a word. Quicksilver's also voiceless in "Cold Comfort", but gets to say stuff in "Family Ties". Conversely, Lorna doesn't say a word in "Phalanx Covenant" despite having a crucial role in the second part.

Alpha Flight

Vindicator, Sasquatch, Puck, Shaman, Snowbird, Northstar and Aurora

• Barrier Warrior: Vindicator's battlesuit comes with a forcefield tough enough to resist Wolverine's claws. A useful thing for a man determined to get into a fight with him.
• The Big Guy: Sasquatch is the biggest and strongest of the team, and gets quite gleeful when busting up Department H's robots.
• Captain Geographic: Vindicator's battlesuit is, naturally, designed after the Canadian flag.
• Go Through Me: At one point Shaman stands between Logan and Vindicator, telling him the only way to get to Hudson is to go through him.
• Magical Native American: Shaman, the team's only magic user, and only First Nations member.
• My Country, Right or Wrong: Vindicator is fiercely loyal to his country, but this also means he'll blindly obey regardless of orders.
• Pint-Sized Powerhouse: Puck's not far over three feet, but still capable of throwing down with Wolverine.
• Poirot Speak: Northstar and Aurora are from Quebec, and demonstrate this by speaking with appropriate accents peppered with French.
• Screw the Rules, I'm Doing What's Right!: Everyone but Vindicator simply thought they were just re-recruiting Logan. When they learn what General Chasen's doing, the rest of the team bust up the lab to free Logan.
• The Voiceless: Snowbird's the only member of the team not to speak.
• We Used to Be Friends: Wolverine was once one of them, but quit to join the X-Men. While Vindicator was in on General Chasen's plans, the rest were just duped into going after him, but Logan's still angry all the same.
• Wonder Twin Powers: At least some of Northstar and Aurora's abilities require them to hold hands.
• Verbal Tic: While they're all Canadian, Puck is the only one to utter the almost obligatory "eh?", and then only once, eh?

Ms. Marvel

Ms. Marvel / Carol Danvers

Voiced by: Roscoe Handford

A superhero and enemy of Mystique and her Brotherhood of Mutants

---

• Adaptational Angst Upgrade: In the comics, Rogue's touch knocked Carol out for a while and took the emotional connection to her memories. Here, she's knocked into an apparently irreversible coma.
• And I Must Scream: She's been in a coma ever since she and Rogue tussled, considered a "Jane Doe" by the New York hospital she wound up in. The end of "A Rogue's Tale" suggests she might one day wake up from it.
• Flying Brick: Where Rogue got it from.
• Hero of Another Story: She was an active superhero with a long history with Mystique, who eventually threw Rogue at her.

Longshot

Longshot

• '80s Hair: Rocks a fierce mullet thing.
• Laser-Guided Amnesia: After getting caught by Mojo, his entire memory was wiped, though Professor X manages to help restore it.
• Off-Model: Sometimes he's got three fingers, sometimes four.
• The Paragon Always Rebels: The finest actor Mojo ever had, but after the events of "Mojovision" he turned on him and led an uprising.
• Took a Level in Kindness: In "Mojovision", he only helps sabotage Mojo's plot because the X-Men are threatening his position as top dog. In "Longshot", he's become an actual heroic figure.
• Winds of Destiny, Change!: His power is luck. Things always work out for him.

Scarlet Witch

Scarlet Witch / Wanda Maximoff

• Hero of Another Story: Judging by her codename, Wanda's off doing other things elsewhere while her brother's with X-Factor.
• Uncanny Family Resemblance: Has the same little hair horns as Magneto, poking out from under her tiara.
• Winds of Destiny, Change!: Her power is total control of probability.

Psylocke

Psylocke

• Adaptational Villainy: This version kicks off the tradition of non-comic Psylockes being cast as antagonists by starting off as a thief opposed to the X-Men, as opposed to regular Betsy, who was straight-up good from the get-go.
• All There in the Manual: Only ever addressed in the show as Psylocke, not Betsy. Whether or not she actually is Betsy Braddock is therefore still somewhat in question.
• Badass in Distress: She's one of the many psychics captured by Apocalypse.
• Famed In-Story: Maybe, since Bishop can recognise her at a moment's glance.
• Just Like Robin Hood: Commits theft to fund her brother's pro-mutant activities. Archangel isn't particularly swayed, though the fact she's robbing him doesn't help.
  Archangel: A thief with a cause is still a thief!
• Last Episode, New Character: Since the story she appears in was meant to be the series finale, and she only shows up halfway through it.
• Living Lie Detector: A powerful enough psychic to see through Mystique's shapeshifting.
• Ms. Fanservice: She is (or was) the X-Men's poster girl for it, after all. Her outfit is a skintight leotard.
• Purple Is the New Black: Despite her hair being drawn as unambiguously purple, the characters all talk as if it's black.
• Race Lift: Unlike the comics, where Betsy started out as a Caucasian British woman whose mind was transferred into the body of Japanese assassin Kwannon (and vice versa) by Mojo's henchwoman Spiral, this version of Psylocke starts out as Asian, assuming the body swap didn't already happen in her backstory.

Shi'ar Empire

Lilandra

Lilandra Neramani

^{Click to see appearance in original series.}

Voiced by: Camilla Scott (original series), Rocío Garcel (Latin American dub), Morla Gorrondona (X-Men '97)

• Alien Hair: Like all Shi'ar, her "hair" is actually plumage as Shi'ar evolved from birds.
• Cain and Abel: With her brother D'Ken and her sister Deathbird.
• Damsel in Distress: Captured by Juggernaut and Black Tom a few minutes after touching down on Earth.
• Defector from Decadence: Lilandra was initially a loyal servant to her brother, until she found out he was willing to mess with the M'Kraan crystal, which would potentially wipe out two galaxies.
• Dressed Like a Dominatrix: Casual wear for princesses of alien empires is apparently skintight black leather numbers with thigh high boots, fishnets and a cleavage window. When she becomes queen she wears a more formal silver attire that looks like armor.
• Hero Antagonist: At the end of the Dark Phoenix Saga she thinks that the Phoenix is too dangerous and Jean Grey has to be killed. The X-Men don't want this to happen, so they and the Shi'ar Imperial Guard have a fight to determine her fate.
• The High Queen: As the Empress she is a kind and just ruler, but she is sometimes forced to do hard things for the sake of her people.
• Interspecies Romance: With Xavier.
• Starcrossed Lovers: She wants to be with Charles, but part of her is required to be distant from him as a result of her job.
• White Sheep: She's the only member of the royal family who isn't evil.

Gladiator

Gladiator

^{Click to see appearance in original series.}

Voiced by: Richard Epcar (original series), David Errigo Jr. (X-Men '97)

• Adaptational Attractiveness: X-Men '97 depicts Gladiator with somewhat softer facial features.
• Amazing Technicolor Population: He's a Human Alien with purple skin.
• Badass Cape: It's blood-red with gold trim.
• Establishing Character Moment: He first shows up in part 3 of the Phoenix Saga, where he flies down from space to chew out Shikari for not finding the M'Kraan crystal. Juggernaut (who has been working with Shikari) gets annoyed and punches Gladiator, to no effect, Gladiator responds by grabbing him and slinging him miles away.
• Everyone Has Standards: He is apologetic when called out by Lilandra for serving D'Ken. He is also quite disgusted by the guy's intention to betray the sacred oath made to Corsair. He ultimately turns on D'Ken and helps the others fight him inside the M'Kraan crystal.
• Hero Antagonist: He serves as this during the Dark Phoenix Saga, when he faces off against the X-Men to capture Jean at Lilandra's command, as she belives Jean posses a danger with the Phoenix within her.
• My Master, Right or Wrong: He automatically serves whoever is the current monarch of the Shi'ar Empire, even though he knows full well what D'ken has planned.
• No-Sell: A Megaton Punch by Juggernaut doesn't budge him a single inch. Rogue was only able later to bat him aside because his guard wasn't up.
• Superman Substitute: He has basically the same powers as Superman, and his costume is very similar.
• The Worf Effect: He ends up on both ends of this trope. When Juggernaut attacks him, he defeats him effortlessly. Later in the same episode, the Phoenix totally kicks his ass.

Aliens

Warlock

Warlock

• Adaptational Sexuality: In as much as a mechanical lifeform which reproduces through non-biological means can even have sexuality... comic Warlock's got a mountain of subtext with his closest human friend, Cypher, but here Warlock has a distinctly feminine partner called Lifepartner.
• Adaptational Species Change: Phalanx rather than Technarx, though the Phalanx and Technarx are related in the comics.
• Adaptational Wimp: Comic Warlock is a Perpetually Protean shapeshifter who can travel across space on his own with the right amount of energy, and is at the small end of the Mechanical Abomination pool, just having not grown into even a fraction of what a full grown Technarx can accomplish. Here, there's no indication Warlock's particularly impressive or special.
• But Now I Must Go: After thwarting the Phalanx on Earth, he and his lifemate decide to find a way to get home so they can stop the rest of the Phalanx.
• It's All My Fault: Blames himself for the Phalanx coming to Earth, but it turns out to be Cameron Hodge's doing.
• Nice Guy: Where the other Phalanx are mechanical monsters dedicated to assimilating all organic life, Warlock himself is something of a sweetie.
• Rogue Drone: He was supposed to be assimilated into the Technarx hive mind, but decided not to and ran for it with his lifepartner.
• Strange-Syntax Speaker: Statement: Warlockself does not possess as much of an idiosyncratic speech method as his comic counterpart does (at least when written by Claremont), but he does occasionally display it.

Introduced in X-Men '97

Madelyne Pryor

Madelyne Pryor / Goblin Queen

Voiced by: Jennifer Hale

• Adaptational Heroism: The comic book version of Madelyne Pryor can at best be described as morally dubious given how often she goes through a cycle of being hostile towards and tolerant of the X-Men. This version's animosity towards the X-Men is entirely due to Sinister's mind control and she helps Scott rescue their son once freed. She also never attempts to kill baby Nathan and has a much better relationship with the real Jean (who lets Madelyne know that the mansion is just as much her home as theirs) and the only reason she leaves the X-Men is because she chooses to. She even represents the X-Men on the Interim Council when Genosha joins the UN.
• Adaptational Modesty: Maddie's original Goblin Queen outfit in the comics consisted of a cropped shirt that showed off her Underboobs and a leather Loincloth that barely concealed her nether regions. '97's Maddie wears a leather leotard with a Cleavage Window which, while quite provocative, is still more modest than her original ensemble.
• Ambiguous Situation: It's not made clear exactly when she replaced Jean Grey on the team. They both share memories of living in the X-Mansion, the experiences with the Phoenix and both weddings to Scott. The only clear delineation is that it must have happened some time before she got pregnant.
• But Now I Must Go: Jean tells her she can stay at the X-Mansion but Madelyne decides to leave so she can build a life that's just hers.
• Clone Angst: After Beast reveals to Madelyne that she is a clone of Jean Grey, she isn't at all happy about it, as she is the mother of Cyclops' newborn son, which Sinister exploits to get her to help him. She does come to terms with it however.
• Clones Are People, Too: She and Jean share their memories and, pregnancy aside, are effectively identical. Once the truth has been established she opts to take on a name of her own and leave the X-Mansion. Jean invites her to stay, but Madelyne wants to forge her own identity. Unfortunately subverted during "Remember It" when Jean, understandably angry after finding Scott and Madelyne kissing in a mindscape, calls Maddie "it" while arguing with Cyclops.
• Designer Babies: Sinister created her for the sole purpose of conceiving a child with Scott, so he could experiment on it.
• Love Redeems: Her love for Nathan is what causes her to reform and help Cyclops save their son from Sinister.
• Mama Bear: Jean helps her use her love for Nathan to break Mr. Sinister's control over her. She's utterly merciless in fighting him for taking her son.
• Playing with Fire: Upon turning evil, her psionic powers take the appearance of green and purple fire.
• Pregnant Badass: She was pregnant for the first two episodes of X-Men '97 but still proved vital to the team via her psychic abilities.
• Tomato in the Mirror: For the first two episodes of X-Men '97, she fully believes that she's the real Jean Grey. It's only when Beast runs tests on her and what turns out to be the real Jean that everyone discovers she's the clone.
• Trauma Conga Line: Goes from giving birth to her son, to finding out she's a clone of the real Jean Grey, to being brainwashed by Mister Sinister, to having her son infected by a lethal virus, to having to send him to the future so he has a chance at survival even though she'll probably never see him again, to leaving the mansion to forge her own identity. This all happens in a day at the most.
• Uncertain Doom: Is caught in the initial blast from the Wild Sentinel's attack following a brief heartfelt (and ominous) meeting with her son Cable. Her fate afterwards is unknown since they Never Found the Body.
• Walking Spoiler: She's initially presented as the real Jean Grey, with the reveal that she isn't only happening in the third episode of X-Men '97. It's basically impossible to talk about her true identity without giving away a major plot twist.

Abcissa

Jubilation Lee / Abcissa

Voiced by: Alyson Court

• Adaptational Heroism: In the comics, she's loyal to Mojo, and attempts to assist him in claiming her past self. In the series, she helps break her and Roberto out of Mojo's game, despite knowing she'll be erased in the process.
• Future Badass: She's a version of Jubilee who has spent years re-re-replaying replicas of various events from Jubilee's past, teaching Jubilee how to turn her normally harmless fireworks into lethal spinning energy discs.
• Predecessor Casting Gag: A much older version of the 90's cartoon version of Jubilee... voiced by the much older original Jubilee actress.
• Resemblance Reveal: When she removes her helmet, She's still wearing Jubilee's distinctive earrings, and briefly conjures up Jubilee's shades and mimics popping a bubblegum bubble, which is one of Jubilee's signature habits.
