* ''The Phoenix.'' This is far from the first adaptation to do so, but it's worth mentioning that in the comics, Jean as Phoenix was good but AntiHero-ish, had to resist darker impulses but stayed in control (she was actually Phoenix for ''quite'' some time), and even saved the universe. It took the Hellfire/Inner Circle Club's interference to cause her to become Dark Phoenix. This adaptation uses TheThemeParkVersion where the Phoenix is a 100% Bad Thing. Of course, the Inner Circle Club ''was'' trying to control the Phoenix in this version, but it wasn't quite the same as [[MasterOfIllusion Jason Wyngarde]] and [[MindControl Emma Frost]] putting her under MoreThanMindControl and pretty much breaking down her self-control bit by bit until we got a monster.

* Zig-zagged with Magneto himself. While he wasn't a villain in the comics at the time the show was released, there are over 3 decades (60's, 70's and 90's) of comics where he was the villain meaning the show wasn't exactly pulling its villainous portrayal of him out of its ass. Also Magneto's treatment of his children in the show is conversely [[AdaptationalNiceGuy far better]] than the comic version, who's easily one of the [[AbusiveParents worst]] dads in Marvel.

Logan even threatens to kill Gambit after he betrays him at the end of one episode. Particularly jarring for fans of the [[WesternAnimation/XMenTheAnimatedSeries 90s show]] who were used to a traditionally heroic Gambit.

* Domino is a member of the ComicBook/XForce and the ComicBook/XMen in the comics, but she is depicted as a terrorist and member of the Brotherhood of Mutants in the adaptation, which results in her basically being similar role to Mystique in all but her name, appearance, personality, and powers as Mystique herself is TheDragon to Magneto in some adaptations.
* Multiple Man is depicted in this adaptation as a member of Mr. Sinister's Marauders despite being a main character in ''ComicBook/XFactor'' since the 90's.
* Likewise, the Stepford Cuckoos are shown in this series as villainous members of the Inner Circle Club despite being students at the Xavier Institute in the comics.

* [[Characters/MarvelComicsPsylocke Psylocke]] is a heroic member of the X-Men in the comics. In this adaptation, she assists the Brotherhood in one episode (although she's shown to be a reluctant recruit who only helps out the group because [[YouOweMe she owes Quicksilver a favor]]).
* [[Characters/XMen2010sMembers Blink]] was associated with ComicBook/GenerationX and was a member of the ComicBook/NewMutants. Her better-known alternate version rose from ComicBook/AgeOfApocalypse mainstay to leader and main hero of the Comicbook/{{Exiles}}. In this adaptation, she is a member of Magneto's Acolytes, though she does send Magneto away under Scarlet Witch's orders in the season finale.
* Mercury was a member of the [[ComicBook/NewXMenAcademyX New X-Men]] in the comics. In this adaptation, she is a member of [[Characters/MarvelComicsMagneto Magneto]]'s Acolytes.
* In the comics, Characters/ScarletWitch and [[Characters/MarvelComicsQuicksilver Quicksilver]] were former members of the Brotherhood of Mutants who abandoned Magneto very quickly and joined ComicBook/TheAvengers. In this adaptation, Quicksilver is still a member of the Brotherhood while Scarlet Witch is loyal to her dad (although it isn't until the finale that she finally realizes what a monster Magneto is and turns against him).
