[[caption-width-right:245:Wolverine in his original suit.]]
Haunted by memories of the life that was stolen from him, Logan, also known as Wolverine, is a rebellious loner forced into being the reluctant leader of the X-Men after the disappearance of Professor Charles Xavier and Jean Grey. Wolverine has a rapid healing ability and indestructible adamantium metal claws capable of slicing through almost any substance known to man make him a fearsome combatant. Only with the help of the team can Wolverine hope to protect the world from its own bleak future and continue Xavier's mission of peace.
[[Characters/TheAvengersEarthsMightiestHeroesNewAvengers See here for tropes applying to him in]] ''WesternAnimation/TheAvengersEarthsMightiestHeroes''.
->Voiced By: Creator/SteveBlum
----
* AbsurdlySharpBlade: Those pointy claws that stick out of his hands.
* TheAce: As per usual, Wolverine is the best at what he does, and what he does isn't very nice.
* AmusingInjuries: Wolverine's ability to heal from virtually anything has led to him often being the target of some quite slapstick-style humor that would be fatal for most anyone else, such as when Cyclops blasts him out a window for annoying him.
* AnimalThemedSuperbeing: Logan has a lot in common with real wolverines through the fact that they are both small in comparison to others, solitary, extremely aggressive for their size, have very keen senses of smell, and pack powerful claws. Hence the name, Wolverine.
* TheAtoner: One of the reasons given for Wolverine being a hero is that after regaining his memories, he feels very guilty about [[DarkAndTroubledPast all the nasty stuff he did in his past]].
* {{Archenemy}}: of Sabertooth.
* AudibleSharpness: SNIKT! is the sound with the adamantium and SCHLIKT! is the sound without it.
* BadassBiker: Wolverine is this in general through being a skilled Motorcycle rider.
* BerserkButton: It is very simple to get him angry. The simple way to tick him off is hurting his loved ones.
* TheBerserker: As per usual, Wolverine has this as his default fighting style through wading into battle, hacking and slashing with his claws.
* BettyAndVeronica: Logan is the Veronica to Scott's Betty in relation to Jean.
* TheBigGuy: Defied. Despite being [[HeroicBuild muscle-bound]], [[CarpetOfVirility hairy]], badass and everything, Wolverine is actually shorter than most of his friends and foes, the latter (particularly Sabretooth) often calling him ''"runt"'' to insult him.
* CoolOldGuy: Wolverine is arguably one of the coolest (and oldest) guys around, but "cool" doesn't necessarily mean [[GoodIsNotNice "nice"...]]
* DeadpanSnarker: Wolverine tends to make sarcastic, if not snarky, remarks.
* DistaffCounterpart: Laura Kinney (aka X-23), who's literally his female clone made from an incomplete DNA sample at Weapon X.
* DrillSergeantNasty: He serves as this towards the entire team.
* FriendToAllChildren: This is best shown when he rescues a blonde haired mutant girl named Magma.
* GeniusBruiser: This is one of Wolverine's biggest strengths is his mind. He's been around for well over a century and has spent quite a bit of that time taking in information. In addition to that, He is a great leader of the X-Men.
* GoodIsNotNice: Although Wolverine more-or-less a heroic guy, unless you're his daughter or some other kid he's taken under his wing or joined the X-Men, it's better he ignores you.
* GutturalGrowler: As per usual, Wolverine speaks with a deep, gravelly voice due to once again having Creator/StevenBlum as his voice actor.
* HealingFactor: Part of his powers.
* HonorBeforeReason: Wolverine is attacked by Scott for hitting on Jean. The clawed one refuses to fight back simply because he promised Jean he wouldn't (granted, Wolverine brought this on himself since he hit on a woman who was already in a relationship). He also holds to promises he made to Mystique and Yuriko years earlier.
* IconicItem: As per usual, they are his claws, especially in combination with the gloves that have the chutes the claws extend through.
* IconicOutfit: Wolverine wears his trademark ''Astonishing X-Men'' costume from the comics.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: Unfortunately due to the fact that the show was meant for children to watch, Wolverine was only allowed to use this particular signature move that he has against robots (such as the Sentinels).
* TheLeader: He was promoted to the leader of the X-Men by Professor Xavier after Cyclops was unable to.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Wolverine is a Jerk with an abrasive personality, a serious anti-authoritarian attitude, and nasty personal habits. At the same time, he is a devoted friend with a soft spot for teenagers (particularly girls), women, and children. He will go out of his way to help the people that need him.
* TheNoseKnows: Wolverine's sense of smell is very strong, resulting in him using this ability to track mutants. The viewer even gets an inside perspective into it by seeing the imaginary scent track left by whoever Wolverine is trying to find.
* OneManArmy: As always, he's a very tough member of the X-men.
* PragmaticHero: As per usual, Wolverine is shown to be very violent during the fight scenes.
* RebelliousSpirit: Subverted due to exchanging his usual role with Scott.
* SpotlightStealingSquad: Wolverine's name is in the title of the show and receives more focus than anyone else (other than Nightcrawler).
* SuperReflexes: Wolverine has heightened reflexes and reaction times, which are tied to his healing factor.
* SuperSenses: A side effect of the healing factor is that all of Wolverine senses are superhumanly keen.
* SuperStrength: Yet another byproduct of his healing factor. Wolverine's muscles, bones, and connective tissue are all denser than those of a normal human, resulting in enhanced strength.
* UnstoppableRage: This tends to happen a lot whenever he goes into berserker mode.
* VitriolicBestBuds: With Cyclops.
* WalkingShirtlessScene: Whenever he's not in costume or his clothes have been removed or destroyed in some fashion.
* WallCrawl: He can do this through poking his claws into surfaces and climbing.
* WolverineClaws: One version of the trope namer.
* WolverinePublicity: The reason why the writers of the show made him the leader of the X-Men and the main character who appears in every episode.
* WorldsBestWarrior: He is [[JackOfAllTrades good enough to put up a fight against all of that]] which results in him being very dangerous.
* TheWorfEffect: Despite having his name in the title, Wolverine is not slacking on his indestructible punching bag duties. Against anyone with a name he either loses, stalemates, or gets a beatdown before winning. These are the hazards of having blades as your main offense when you aren't allowed to cut anyone.
* WouldHitAGirl: Wolverine is willing to attack Mystique and Emma.

[[caption-width-right:180:Cyclops in his original suit.]]
Scott Summers, also known as Cyclops, was once the optimistic leader as well as one of the founding members of Professor Xavier's X-Men, but when he lost the two people he cared for most, he also lost the drive to lead the mutant heroes. Cyclops may begrudgingly work with Wolverine and the X-men to prevent a future that looks darker every second, but inside he is alone. Cyclops has the mutant ability to project beams of pure energy from his eyes yet he can only control or block them when he is wearing a visor or sunglasses made out of ruby-quartz material or closing his eyes. If not when he opens his eyes, he will uncontrollably shoot optic blasts at whatever he is trying to see.
->Voiced By: Creator/NolanNorth
----
* AdaptationalJerkass: Cyclops comes off as more of a SociopathicHero than in the comics and previous animated adaptations.
* AdaptationalWimp: Cyclops loses all of his leadership qualities from the comics and most adaptations in favor of {{Wangst}}.
* AlliterativeName: '''S'''cott '''S'''ummers.
* AntiHero: Cyclops here is more anti-heroic than Wolverine.
* BadassBiker: Cyclops is shown to be very skilled with riding a Motorcycle.
* BadassLongcoat: Cyclops wears his current mainstream costume from the comics with a long trench coat.
* BettyAndVeronica: Scott is the Betty to Logan's Veronica in relation to Jean. Subverted as Jean still chooses to be in a relationship with Scott.
* ChickMagnet: Cyclops [[WhatDoesSheSeeInHim somehow]] manages to obtain the affections of both Jean Grey and Emma Frost.
* CoolShades: As per usual, Scott wears a pair of red shades.
* ComicBookFantasyCasting: Creator/NolanNorth as Cyclops vaguely evokes his film counterpart Creator/JamesMarsden.
* DeadpanSnarker: He tends to make snarky remarks toward Wolverine.
* DespairEventHorizon: Cyclops undergoes this after losing Jean.
* TheDeterminator: Cyclops is a very disturbing and unheroic (if not outright unsympathetic) example with his obsession with trying to search for Jean Grey.
* DisproportionateRetribution: Scott violently blasts Logan for implying that he wasn't good enough for Jean. The results of this action are... not good.
* DistressedDude: Cyclops appears to be cursed with this, especially in flashbacks.
* EyeBeams: Cyclops' optic blasts have a [[BlessedWithSuck disadvantage]] in the fact that he [[PowerIncontinence is unable to turn them off]], requiring him to constantly wear a protective visor or ruby sunglasses.
* HeartbrokenBadass: Cyclops is supposed to be this, but sadly he's just a loser.
* HighschoolSweethearts: with Jean Grey, as per usual.
* LoveTriangle: With Jean and Emma. He's also in one with Wolverine and Jean.
* LovingAShadow: This seems to be the entire basis of Cyclops's relationship with Jean Grey.
* ObliviousToLove: Cyclops never seems to realize that Emma is interested in him.
* OneWayVisor: As always, Cyclops wears one of these with his costume.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: He becomes this when he opens his eyes while not wearing shades or a visor.
* PowerIncontinence: Without his trademark visor he wears as part of his costume or a pair of ruby quartz glasses out of costume, Cyclops would be firing his EyeBeams 24/7.
* PowerLimiter: Cyclops' visor and shades, which keep his uncontrollable Eye Beams under wraps.
* PowerOfTheSun: As per usual, Cyclops stores solar power to use his optic blasts.
* RedOniBlueOni: Unlike the other versions, Cyclops is the red oni to Wolverine's blue oni.
* ShrinkingViolet: As a teenager, his self esteem was definitely not the highest due to being bullied at the group home that he was placed in and mocked and ridiculed by his fellow first class teammates of the X-Men.
* StepfordSnarker: Scott is cold and often sarcastic as well as being broken, probably beyond repair.
* SunglassesAtNight: Which he uses in order to control his powers.
* SociopathicHero: He is this compared to his comic book counterpart and most versions.
* TheLancer: Cyclops now serves as this to Wolverine and the X-Men.
* TheLeader: He formerly lead the X-Men.
* TheLoad: Cyclops of all people is portrayed as this in the series, especially in the flashbacks to his earlier years.
* TallDarkAndHandsome: Scott is 6'3", brunet and attractive.
** TallDarkAndSnarky: He can also be very snarky (particularly towards Wolverine) when he wants to be.
* TookALevelInDumbass: Cyclops is so caught up in his despair over Jean's disappearance that he does things like go off to pick a fight with Mr. Sinister, which even ''Wolverine'' proclaims is a bad idea. Arguments about characterization aside, it's not so hard to consider why Professor Xavier might have considered Cyclops to not be in any shape to lead the team again.
* TooDumbToLive: Mainly due to being obsessed with searching for Jean.

Emma Frost is a mysterious and beautiful telepath who showed up on the X-Men's doorstep just when they needed her most. She once tried to start her own school for gifted mutants, the Massachusetts Academy. The ambitious Emma is the X-Men's only hope of finding their missing colleagues in addition to being [[spoiler: a mole and still the White Queen of the Inner Circle (and even kicks off the events of the series as it's revealed she's the one who attacked Jean and Professor Xavier, which in turn ended up destroying the mansion—albeit with the intention of taking out the Phoenix before she could be a threat)]]. She can read minds and project thoughts into other's minds, controlling their actions. She can also project mental blasts to knock out her victims by touching their brow and is able to change her skin into diamond form.
->Voiced By: Creator/KariWahlgren
----
* AdaptationalHeroism: Emma is portrayed in a more sympathetic light, completely turning her into a straight hero rather than a byronic one. [[spoiler: That said, this version of Frost also has AdaptationalVillainy, as she's the mole and still the White Queen of the Inner Circle (and even kicks off the events of the series as it's revealed she's the one who attacked Jean and Professor Xavier, which in turn ended up destroying the mansion—albeit with the intention of taking out the Phoenix before she could be a threat).]]
* AdaptationalVillainy: [[spoiler: Emma ''used'' to be one hell of a foe (even being BigBad of ComicBook/NewMutants for a time) but comic fans know that that was a long time ago, at least in the main Franchise/MarvelUniverse. In this show, she's TheMole and still the White Queen of the Hellfire Club. However, in the finale she sacrifices her life to contain the Phoenix.]]
* DeadpanSnarker: She tends to snark with her fellow teammates. It makes her appear even colder at some points, but she's still a kind and sympathetic person.
* DefrostingIceQueen: Emma acts pretty much like anyone familiar with the comics would expect in her introduction. Compare that Emma with the one we see in the end. [[CharacterDevelopment Hoo boy]].
* FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler: When it's revealed that she is a Mole and still the White Queen of the Inner Circle (and even kicks off the events of the series as it's revealed she's the one who attacked Jean and Professor Xavier, which in turn ended up destroying the mansion—albeit with the intention of taking out the Phoenix before she could be a threat).]]
* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:Emma may not have been working for the X-Men per-se, but her goals were always good (stop the Phoenix). It's the Inner Circle who had a FaceHeelTurn when they decided to use the Phoenix as a tool for their own power.]]
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: In the final episode, Emma Frost ultimately sacrifices herself to prevent the Phoenix Force from causing destruction. Had the second season happened, she would apparently have returned.]]
* HotTeacher: She certainly has the attention of some of the male characters (especially Bobby and Forge).
* ImmuneToMindControl: Emma Frost is able to transform in a diamond form that prevents her from using her own telepathy and renders her immune to anyone else's.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Despite her aloof behavior and extreme methods, she genuinely cares about the mutant race and her teammates (especially Cyclops).
* ManipulativeBitch: [[spoiler: Emma is naturally this to the X-Men.]]
* TheMole: [[spoiler:Emma accidentally caused the explosion at the Xavier Institute and stole Xavier's body so that she could buy her way onto the team and eventually have another chance to find Jean. Or more precisely, the Phoenix. Though she did have good intentions...]]
* MsFanservice: Emma's costume design has gone completely unchanged from one of her comic looks. And considering how she [[{{Stripperiffic}} usually dresses]]... they [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar sure were lucky for being able to do so]].
* MostCommonSuperpower: She's shown to be very buxom through her corset.
* PsychicPowers: She's a very powerful [[{{Telepathy}} Telepath]].

Beast possesses a genius-level IQ, with extraordinary expertise in genetics, biochemistry and other subjects. Beast often acts as the voice of reason for Wolverine and the X-Men.
->Voiced By: Creator/FredTatasciore
----
* BadassPacifist: Beast always offers his foes a chance to surrender.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Hank is a very nice person, but he is still willing to use brute force after offering his foes a chance to surrender.
* ComicBookFantasyCasting: Creator/FredTatasciore as Beast appears to patterned on Creator/KelseyGrammer's Beast from X3
* GeniusBruiser: Beast is a genius, as per usual.
* HandyFeet: One of his most notable powers is superhuman manual dexterity, even in his feet.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: With both Iceman and Wolverine.
* LightningBruiser: Not only is Hank strong, but he's also incredibly fast and agile.
* {{Mutants}}: He is both a mutant and a mutate and was born a mutant with ape-like features and abilities.
* NaturalWeapon: His fangs and claws are weapons.
* SmartPeopleWearGlasses: He occasionally wears reading glasses and is a genius scientist, despite the fact that it's slightly odd to see a big blue cat/ape thing wearing reading glasses.
* SophisticatedAsHell: As per usual. He always finds ways to make sophisticated references to literature, science, music, and science fiction.
* TechnoWizard: He is an expert in electronics (other than Forge).

Orphaned at an early age, Ororo Munroe turned to a life of crime to survive on the mean streets of Cairo, Egypt. When her mutant power to control weather patterns emerged, she was worshipped as a goddess by the tribes. Eventually, Ororo found her true purpose at Professor Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, where she helps the X-Men as Storm. Storm is able control the weather and create rain, snow, sleet, fog, hail, and lightning.
->Voiced By: Creator/SusanDalian
----
* AdaptationPersonalityChange: Storm is more reserved and timid in this adaptation, which is a far cry from her comic book counterpart and most versions (who are usually portrayed as [[LargeHam Large Hams]] whenever they are using their mutant powers).
* AdaptationalWimp: In addition to becoming more timid, Storm is prone to getting a TapOnTheHead to keep her from easily winning fights and has been knocked out or incapacitated numerous times more often than other X-Men of the show, which is a ''huge'' contrast from the Storm from the comics as well as the other animated X-Men series, who was one of, if not the last X-Men to be taken down in a fight.
* {{Archenemy}}: The Shadow King.
* BadassCape: She has this on her costume.
* BlankWhiteEyes: She has these whenever she is using her powers.
* CombatStilettos: She has them on her costume.
* ComicBookMoviesDontUseCodenames: A Lone [[AvertedTrope Aversion]]; she's called Storm more often than her real name. Presumably because it's less of a mouthful than Ororo.
* DemotedToExtra: Storm's role in the show is much smaller compared to other versions, despite being a major character in the comics as well as one of the most recognizable members of the X-Men and in the main cast of nearly all the previous animated adaptations, to give Wolvie a bigger role.
* ElementalPowers: She has complete control over the weather, which gives her the ability to whip up [[ShockAndAwe lightning]], [[BlowYouAway wind]], and [[AnIcePerson ice storms]] in combat. Hence the name Storm.
* FisherKing: Her mood influences her weather manipulation powers.
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: Her eyes also tend to glow whenever she is using her powers.
* IBelieveICanFly: With wind.
* LadyOfBlackMagic: Her mutant powers give her control over the elements, and she's a PhysicalGoddess and queen with a regal air.
* MysticalWhiteHair: As per usual, Storm has long, white hair.
* PromotedToLoveInterest: Storm had a romantic relationship with Angel [[spoiler: until his transformation into Archangel]]. Such a close romantic relationship was never found in the comics or other animated adaptation.
* ShockAndAwe: Her most common form of attack, that is whenever she has any moments to shine.
* SpockSpeak: It's not as emphasized as the other versions, but she still speaks like this.
* StatuesqueStunner: Storm is a very tall beauty.
* StreetUrchin: When she was younger, she lived on the streets and worked for the Shadow King.
* TheWorfEffect: A ''stark'' contrast to her comic book counterpart and most versions. Most of the time, Storm has been knocked out or incapacitated numerous times more often than other X-Men of the show during the fight scenes.

As such, he leads a dual life. One playing the dutiful heir to the family fortune, and the other as the mysterious Angel, who uses his abilities to help those in need and is a member of the X-Men. [[spoiler: That is until his wings were damaged in a clash with the MRD and amputated during surgery at the hospital due to them being damaged beyond repair. Angel is approached by Mister Sinister who uses his technology to transform Angel into Archangel.]] Angel's wings can carry up to twice his weight and can fly him to 29,000 feet at speeds up to 159 mph. His enhanced lungs enable him to breathe at high altitudes and he possesses extraordinary eyesight.

* ArtificialLimbs: [[spoiler: After becoming Archangel, Warren has his naturally-occuring wings amputated and replaced with razor-edged metallic wings that can shoot blades.]]
* ChickMagnet: He is a blonde-haired hunk of a man and obtains the affections of Storm.

Kitty Pryde, also known as Shadowcat, might be able to become immaterial and able to "phase" through solid objects and living organisms, but her devotion to Professor Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters is anything but insubstantial. Enrolled in the school since she was only thirteen, the spunky young mutant called Shadowcat serves as a cheerleader for Xavier's mission and a valued teammate to Wolverine and the X-Men.
->Voiced By: Creator/DanielleJudovits
----
* AffectionateNickname: "Kitty" is a nickname to begin with.
* AwesomeMcCoolname: Either her full name Katherine Pryde or her nickname Kitty Pryde, both of them sound cool.
* DeadpanSnarker: Not often, but Kitty's pretty good when she does. Especially to Bobby.
* [[IntangibleMan Intangible Girl]]: Shadowcat's mutant ability is to phase through solid objects.
* IntergenerationalFriendship: Wolverine and Storm who are older, and Tilde Solmes who is younger.
* JewishAndNerdy: She's probably still Jewish and she's smart.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Kitty can be this with everyone (particularly Bobby), sometimes without even knowing it thanks to her stubborn personality.
* MythologyGag: Kitty's design is inspired by the appearance of her comic book incarnation in the [[ComicBook/AstonishingXMen Astonishing X-Men comics]] and the appearance of the blue and yellow used on her costume emulates that design. The shorts she wears are based off the appearances of the original X-Men along with her first appearance in the comics when she wore a variant of the uniform.

Bobby Drake, also known as Iceman, is one of the founding members of the X-Men. He thinks he's the coolest guy around, but his cockiness may sometimes cause trouble. However, Iceman's ability to project intense cold and convert moisture into ice, forming a variety of icy weapons, protective ice shields and ice slides, has nonetheless made him a valuable asset to Wolverine and the X-Men.
->Voiced By: Creator/YuriLowenthal
----
* AdaptationDyeJob: Iceman has brown hair in the comics. In this series, he has blonde hair (just like he did in ''[[WesternAnimation/SpiderManandHisAmazingFriends Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends]]'') and almost looks like he could be Angel's younger brother.
* AdaptationalSexuality: Iceman's gay in the comics, but it appears that he's straight here (which is closer to his original sexuality in the comics).
* AnIcePerson: Bobby transforms into an an organic ice form, and generates subzero energy to freeze his surroundings, cool and condense moisture in the atmosphere into ice, shaping it into various forms such as snowballs, battering rams, shields, solid blocks, columns, and ice slides.
* DeadpanSnarker: As per usual, Bobby's humor has a tendency to fall in this category.
* ElementalShapeshifter: Iceman originally covered his body with snow. At some point later, He then changed to covering his body with ice and later learned about how to convert his body into organic ice.
* FunPersonified: He's usually this.
* HarmlessFreezing: Iceman encases people in ice a few times, but they never have lasting effects from it.
* OlderThanTheyLook: At first, it appears that Iceman is near the same age as Shadowcat (as he was in the movies and X-Men: Evolution), to the point that they may even be in a relationship, but a later episode shows that he's a founding X-Man, just like he is in the comics.
* VoluntaryShapeshifting: He controls his transformation from his human form to that of organic ice.

Raised by numerous foster families, the young woman known only as Rogue has learned to look after herself. Her mutant ability to drain the life energy, memories and powers of anyone she touches forced her to keep those she cared about at arm's length, literally. Rogue has found a home at both Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters and Wolverine and the X-Men.
->Voiced By: Kieren van den Blink
----
* AntiVillain:[[spoiler:After her FaceHeelTurn.]]
* BadPowersGoodPeople: Removing energy from others is generally something evil characters tend to use, but Rogue tries her best to make it a temporary borrowing boost rather than a selfish draining power.
* BlessedWithSuck: Yes, technically the ability to copy other mutants' powers by touching them makes her very adaptable, but draining people's life energy whenever she touches them is about as sucky as it gets. And absorbing 'everything else about that person, including memories and personality traits. And she can't not do so, rendering her incapable of having any sort of intimate relationship.
* ComicBookFantasyCasting: Kieren van den Blink as Rogue evokes her film actress Creator/AnnaPaquin.
* CantHaveSexEver: She's unable to touch any one without her gloves, or else she will absorb their powers, life energy, and memories.
* CivvieSpandex: Rogue wears a yellow, leather bomber jacket over a pair of tights as her uniform.
* FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler: After she was revealed to be an apparent ReverseMole. Though it is ultimately revealed to be a double-ReverseMole.]]
* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler: Rogue reveals that she only joined the Brotherhood in order to infiltrate them, because she learned some unpleasant things from Toad's mind.]]
* InstantExpert: Rogue is temporary this to the Brotherhood.
* MythologyGag: Her X-Men uniform is similar to the costume that she wore in the ''[[WesternAnimation/XMen X-Men Animated Series]]'' while her casual clothing is closer to the version in the Film/XMenFilmSeries.
* NotAsYouKnowThem: Rogue's loyalties in this series have been switched from the comics and previous animated incarnations. Usually she is part of the Brotherhood because she has no where else to go, then she joins the X-Men. Here, it's the other way around.
* ParentalSubstitute: Just like in the films, Rogue thinks of Logan as this. Or at least, as an absentee-version of it, since he keeps leaving for days or weeks at a time.

Because of his demon-like appearance, the only place that circus performer Kurt Wagner, also known as Nightcrawler, ever felt truly welcome was at Professor Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters. Nightcrawler is able to teleport himself and a limited amount of extra mass over short distances. This mischievous, German-born mutant consistently proves himself a major asset to Wolverine and the X-Men.
->Voiced By: Creator/LiamOBrien
----
* BeastAndBeauty: Kurt (Nightcrawler) is the beast while Wanda (ComicBook/ScarletWitch) is the beauty.
* ComicBookFantasyCasting: Creator/LiamOBrien's Nightcrawler was partially inspired by Creator/AlanCumming's portrayal from ''X2''.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Nightcrawler is this, [[YouShouldKnowThisAlready as always]].
* DoesNotLikeShoes: The unique shape of Nightcrawler's feet make most shoes uncomfortable at best.
* DualWielding: Or rather, triple wielding, due to his prehensile tail.
* {{Goth}}: His design has some Goth influence, but his personality couldn't be [[PerkyGoth further from the stereotype]].
* HandyFeet: His feet are shaped very much like his hands.
* HeroesPreferSwords: As shown in "X-Calibre", Nightcrawler is an excellent fencer.
* HeartIsAnAwesomePower: Nightcrawler taught a group of mutants with "useless" powers this in one episode.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Wolverine, just like in the comics. After escaping from Genosha, Nightcrawler is basically his NumberTwo.
* HopeSpot: Congratulations, Nightcrawler. You performed a MultistageTeleport from Genosha all the way to the Institute. Why, one of your good friends is there to meet you and--oh, it's just Mystique in disguise.
* InSeriesNickname: Wolverine's own personal nickname for him is "Elf".
* MasterSwordsman: He's shown to be this against his fight with Mojo's pirates.
* NiceGuy: One of the nicest on the team and the whole show.
* ObliviousToLove: It appears that he has no idea just how badly Scarlet Witch is into him.
* TeleportersAndTransporters: As per usual, this is Kurt's primary super-power.
* TookALevelInBadass: Nightcrawler is decidedly more badass here than he appears in other adaptations.
* {{WallCrawling}}: One of the powers that Nightcrawler most commonly uses in the series. The other one being teleporting.

Forge is a mutant with a superhuman talent for inventing and repairing mechanical devices. While even the greatest inventors must work out the principles and designs of their inventions, the ideas for Forge's inventions spring fully formed from his mutant mind. He is the main technician at the X-Mansion and has a bionic right hand and left leg.
->Voiced By: Creator/RogerCraigSmith

* AdaptationalDyeJob: While the color is still black, Forge has shorter hair instead of a long, pony tail like in his comic book counterpart.
* ButtMonkey: [[RaceLift He even gets whiter as the series goes on.]]
* ChewToy: He has to constantly see his things broken, gets treated with no respect (particularly by the other X-Men), and is generally shoved around by life.
* DitzyGenius. Forge is the tech-wizard who keeps the X-men's more advanced gear running, including the Blackbird and the Danger Room, but he's also a total ditz.
* NonActionGuy: Forge spends more time working on the X-Men's technology than in field missions. He is even conspicuously absent when the Brotherhood attacks the mansion, only showing up after the fight (Which Shadowcat calls him out on).
* RaceLift: Forge appears to be a Caucasian instead of a Native American just like his comic book counterpart.
* TechnoWizard: Forge is an expert in electronics.

She can also lift and move objects telekinetically and create telekinetic shields. Jean is also one of the founding members of the X-Men and is missing due to an explosion.
->Voiced By: Creator/JenniferHale
----
* AdaptationalWimp: Jean gets the [[NeverLiveItDown/ComicBooks sadly usual treatment]] of existing solely for the sake of the threat of the [[spoiler:Dark Phoenix]] and is reduced to living {{MacGuffin}}.
* BattleCouple: With Cyclops, particularly in the flashback.
* BettyAndVeronica: She's the Betty to Emma's Veronica in relation to Cyclops.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: As per usual, Jean is sweet, motherly and level-headed. But if you were to wrong her or her loved ones (such as Cyclops), then you are in for a world of psychic pain.
* ClingyJealousGirl: Jean is capable of getting very jealous, particularly when Scott/Cyclops is around Emma.
* ComicBookFantasyCasting: Creator/JenniferHale as Jean Grey evokes the sound of her film actress counterpart Creator/FamkeJanssen.
* DemotedToExtra: Jean in this series has been reduced to being nothing more than a plot device.
* {{Flight}}: She is able to use her telekinetic powers in order to do this.

* VictoriousChildhoodFriend: Jean may or may not count as this reclaiming Scott/Cyclops for herself at the end - though it may be more like Victorious Teenage Friend.
* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: As a teenager, Jean went toe to toe with Magneto to save teen Cyclops may count, but probably even more so as an adult when she (justifiably) violently throws Emma Frost up against a wall and binds her there with pipes for kissing an unconscious Cyclops. And in between that briefly going into Phoenix mode when Cyclops almost gets knifed by Archangel.
* WhatDoesSheSeeInHim: It's evoked (though never outright asked by any of the cast) with Jean in regards to Cyclops, due mostly to the fact that Cyclops is not portrayed with any admirable traits.
* WhatTheHellHero:
** This is pretty much Jean's reaction to Cyclops zapping Wolverine after Wolverine hit on her without knowing she made the clawed one promise her he wouldn't fight Cyclops.

Haunted by memories of the life that was stolen from him, Logan, also known as Wolverine, is a rebellious loner forced into being the reluctant leader of the X-Men after the disappearance of Professor Charles Xavier and Jean Grey. Wolverine has a rapid healing ability and indestructible adamantium metal claws capable of slicing through almost any substance known to man make him a fearsome combatant. Only with the help of the team can Wolverine hope to protect the world from its own bleak future and continue Xavier's mission of peace.
[[Characters/TheAvengersEarthsMightiestHeroesNewAvengers See here for tropes applying to him in]] ''WesternAnimation/TheAvengersEarthsMightiestHeroes''.
->Voiced By: Creator/SteveBlum
----
* AbsurdlySharpBlade: Those pointy claws that stick out of his hands.
* TheAce: As per usual, Wolverine is the best at what he does, and what he does isn't very nice.
* AmusingInjuries: Wolverine's ability to heal from virtually anything has led to him often being the target of some quite slapstick-style humor that would be fatal for most anyone else, such as when Cyclops blasts him out a window for annoying him.
* AnimalThemedSuperbeing: Logan has a lot in common with real wolverines through the fact that they are both small in comparison to others, solitary, extremely aggressive for their size, have very keen senses of smell, and pack powerful claws. Hence the name, Wolverine.
* TheAtoner: One of the reasons given for Wolverine being a hero is that after regaining his memories, he feels very guilty about [[DarkAndTroubledPast all the nasty stuff he did in his past]].
* {{Archenemy}}: of Sabertooth.
* AudibleSharpness: SNIKT! is the sound with the adamantium and SCHLIKT! is the sound without it.
* BadassBiker: Wolverine is this in general through being a skilled Motorcycle rider.
* BerserkButton: It is very simple to get him angry. The simple way to tick him off is hurting his loved ones.
* TheBerserker: As per usual, Wolverine has this as his default fighting style through wading into battle, hacking and slashing with his claws.
* BettyAndVeronica: Logan is the Veronica to Scott's Betty in relation to Jean.
* TheBigGuy: Defied. Despite being [[HeroicBuild muscle-bound]], [[CarpetOfVirility hairy]], badass and everything, Wolverine is actually shorter than most of his friends and foes, the latter (particularly Sabretooth) often calling him ''"runt"'' to insult him.
* CoolOldGuy: Wolverine is arguably one of the coolest (and oldest) guys around, but "cool" doesn't necessarily mean [[GoodIsNotNice "nice"...]]
* DeadpanSnarker: Wolverine tends to make sarcastic, if not snarky, remarks.
* DistaffCounterpart: Laura Kinney (aka X-23), who's literally his female clone made from an incomplete DNA sample at Weapon X.
* DrillSergeantNasty: He serves as this towards the entire team.
* FriendToAllChildren: This is best shown when he rescues a blonde haired mutant girl named Magma.
* GeniusBruiser: This is one of Wolverine's biggest strengths is his mind. He's been around for well over a century and has spent quite a bit of that time taking in information. In addition to that, He is a great leader of the X-Men.
* GoodIsNotNice: Although Wolverine more-or-less a heroic guy, unless you're his daughter or some other kid he's taken under his wing or joined the X-Men, it's better he ignores you.
* GutturalGrowler: As per usual, Wolverine speaks with a deep, gravelly voice due to once again having Creator/StevenBlum as his voice actor.
* HealingFactor: Part of his powers.
* HonorBeforeReason: Wolverine is attacked by Scott for hitting on Jean. The clawed one refuses to fight back simply because he promised Jean he wouldn't (granted, Wolverine brought this on himself since he hit on a woman who was already in a relationship). He also holds to promises he made to Mystique and Yuriko years earlier.
* IconicItem: As per usual, they are his claws, especially in combination with the gloves that have the chutes the claws extend through.
* IconicOutfit: Wolverine wears his trademark ''Astonishing X-Men'' costume from the comics.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: Unfortunately due to the fact that the show was meant for children to watch, Wolverine was only allowed to use this particular signature move that he has against robots (such as the Sentinels).
* TheLeader: He was promoted to the leader of the X-Men by Professor Xavier after Cyclops was unable to.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Wolverine is a Jerk with an abrasive personality, a serious anti-authoritarian attitude, and nasty personal habits. At the same time, he is a devoted friend with a soft spot for teenagers (particularly girls), women, and children. He will go out of his way to help the people that need him.
* TheNoseKnows: Wolverine's sense of smell is very strong, resulting in him using this ability to track mutants. The viewer even gets an inside perspective into it by seeing the imaginary scent track left by whoever Wolverine is trying to find.
* OneManArmy: As always, he's a very tough member of the X-men.
* PragmaticHero: As per usual, Wolverine is shown to be very violent during the fight scenes.
* RebelliousSpirit: Subverted due to exchanging his usual role with Scott.
* SpotlightStealingSquad: Wolverine's name is in the title of the show and receives more focus than anyone else (other than Nightcrawler).
* SuperReflexes: Wolverine has heightened reflexes and reaction times, which are tied to his healing factor.
* SuperSenses: A side effect of the healing factor is that all of Wolverine senses are superhumanly keen.
* SuperStrength: Yet another byproduct of his healing factor. Wolverine's muscles, bones, and connective tissue are all denser than those of a normal human, resulting in enhanced strength.
* UnstoppableRage: This tends to happen a lot whenever he goes into berserker mode.
* VitriolicBestBuds: With Cyclops.
* WalkingShirtlessScene: Whenever he's not in costume or his clothes have been removed or destroyed in some fashion.
* WallCrawl: He can do this through poking his claws into surfaces and climbing.
* WolverineClaws: One version of the trope namer.
* WolverinePublicity: The reason why the writers of the show made him the leader of the X-Men and the main character who appears in every episode.
* WorldsBestWarrior: He is [[JackOfAllTrades good enough to put up a fight against all of that]] which results in him being very dangerous.
* TheWorfEffect: Despite having his name in the title, Wolverine is not slacking on his indestructible punching bag duties. Against anyone with a name he either loses, stalemates, or gets a beatdown before winning. These are the hazards of having blades as your main offense when you aren't allowed to cut anyone.
* WouldHitAGirl: Wolverine is willing to attack Mystique and Emma.

Scott Summers, also known as Cyclops, was once the optimistic leader as well as one of the founding members of Professor Xavier's X-Men, but when he lost the two people he cared for most, he also lost the drive to lead the mutant heroes. Cyclops may begrudgingly work with Wolverine and the X-men to prevent a future that looks darker every second, but inside he is alone. Cyclops has the mutant ability to project beams of pure energy from his eyes yet he can only control or block them when he is wearing a visor or sunglasses made out of ruby-quartz material or closing his eyes. If not when he opens his eyes, he will uncontrollably shoot optic blasts at whatever he is trying to see.

* ComicBookFantasyCasting: Creator/NolanNorth as Cyclops vaguely evokes his film counterpart Creator/JamesMarsden.
* DeadpanSnarker: He tends to make snarky remarks toward Wolverine.
* DespairEventHorizon: Cyclops undergoes this after losing Jean.
* TheDeterminator: Cyclops is a very disturbing and unheroic (if not outright unsympathetic) example with his obsession with trying to search for Jean Grey.
* DisproportionateRetribution: Scott violently blasts Logan for implying that he wasn't good enough for Jean. The results of this action are... not good.
* DistressedDude: Cyclops appears to be cursed with this, especially in flashbacks.
* EyeBeams: Cyclops' optic blasts have a [[BlessedWithSuck disadvantage]] in the fact that he [[PowerIncontinence is unable to turn them off]], requiring him to constantly wear a protective visor or ruby sunglasses.
* HeartbrokenBadass: Cyclops is supposed to be this, but sadly he's just a loser.
* HighschoolSweethearts: with Jean Grey, as per usual.
* LoveTriangle: With Jean and Emma. He's also in one with Wolverine and Jean.
* LovingAShadow: This seems to be the entire basis of Cyclops's relationship with Jean Grey.
* ObliviousToLove: Cyclops never seems to realize that Emma is interested in him.
* OneWayVisor: As always, Cyclops wears one of these with his costume.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: He becomes this when he opens his eyes while not wearing shades or a visor.
* PowerIncontinence: Without his trademark visor he wears as part of his costume or a pair of ruby quartz glasses out of costume, Cyclops would be firing his EyeBeams 24/7.
* PowerLimiter: Cyclops' visor and shades, which keep his uncontrollable Eye Beams under wraps.
* PowerOfTheSun: As per usual, Cyclops stores solar power to use his optic blasts.
* RedOniBlueOni: Unlike the other versions, Cyclops is the red oni to Wolverine's blue oni.
* ShrinkingViolet: As a teenager, his self esteem was definitely not the highest due to being bullied at the group home that he was placed in and mocked and ridiculed by his fellow first class teammates of the X-Men.
* StepfordSnarker: Scott is cold and often sarcastic as well as being broken, probably beyond repair.
* SunglassesAtNight: Which he uses in order to control his powers.
* SociopathicHero: He is this compared to his comic book counterpart and most versions.
* TheLancer: Cyclops now serves as this to Wolverine and the X-Men.
* TheLeader: He formerly lead the X-Men.
* TheLoad: Cyclops of all people is portrayed as this in the series, especially in the flashbacks to his earlier years.
* TallDarkAndHandsome: Scott is 6'3", brunet and attractive.
** TallDarkAndSnarky: He can also be very snarky (particularly towards Wolverine) when he wants to be.
* TookALevelInDumbass: Cyclops is so caught up in his despair over Jean's disappearance that he does things like go off to pick a fight with Mr. Sinister, which even ''Wolverine'' proclaims is a bad idea. Arguments about characterization aside, it's not so hard to consider why Professor Xavier might have considered Cyclops to not be in any shape to lead the team again.

She can read minds and project thoughts into other's minds, controlling their actions. She can also project mental blasts to knock out her victims by touching their brow and is able to change her skin into diamond form.
->Voiced By: Creator/KariWahlgren
----
* AdaptationalHeroism: Emma is portrayed in a more sympathetic light, completely turning her into a straight hero rather than a byronic one. [[spoiler: That said, this version of Frost also has AdaptationalVillainy, as she's the mole and still the White Queen of the Inner Circle (and even kicks off the events of the series as it's revealed she's the one who attacked Jean and Professor Xavier, which in turn ended up destroying the mansion—albeit with the intention of taking out the Phoenix before she could be a threat).]]
* AdaptationalVillainy: [[spoiler: Emma ''used'' to be one hell of a foe (even being BigBad of ComicBook/NewMutants for a time) but comic fans know that that was a long time ago, at least in the main Franchise/MarvelUniverse. In this show, she's TheMole and still the White Queen of the Hellfire Club. However, in the finale she sacrifices her life to contain the Phoenix.]]
* DeadpanSnarker: She tends to snark with her fellow teammates. It makes her appear even colder at some points, but she's still a kind and sympathetic person.
* DefrostingIceQueen: Emma acts pretty much like anyone familiar with the comics would expect in her introduction. Compare that Emma with the one we see in the end. [[CharacterDevelopment Hoo boy]].
* FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler: When it's revealed that she is a Mole and still the White Queen of the Inner Circle (and even kicks off the events of the series as it's revealed she's the one who attacked Jean and Professor Xavier, which in turn ended up destroying the mansion—albeit with the intention of taking out the Phoenix before she could be a threat).]]
* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:Emma may not have been working for the X-Men per-se, but her goals were always good (stop the Phoenix). It's the Inner Circle who had a FaceHeelTurn when they decided to use the Phoenix as a tool for their own power.]]
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: In the final episode, Emma Frost ultimately sacrifices herself to prevent the Phoenix Force from causing destruction. Had the second season happened, she would apparently have returned.]]
* HotTeacher: She certainly has the attention of some of the male characters (especially Bobby and Forge).
* ImmuneToMindControl: Emma Frost is able to transform in a diamond form that prevents her from using her own telepathy and renders her immune to anyone else's.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Despite her aloof behavior and extreme methods, she genuinely cares about the mutant race and her teammates (especially Cyclops).
* ManipulativeBitch: [[spoiler: Emma is naturally this to the X-Men.]]
* TheMole: [[spoiler:Emma accidentally caused the explosion at the Xavier Institute and stole Xavier's body so that she could buy her way onto the team and eventually have another chance to find Jean. Or more precisely, the Phoenix. Though she did have good intentions...]]
* MsFanservice: Emma's costume design has gone completely unchanged from one of her comic looks. And considering how she [[{{Stripperiffic}} usually dresses]]... they [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar sure were lucky for being able to do so]].
* MostCommonSuperpower: She's shown to be very buxom through her corset.

* AdaptationPersonalityChange: Storm is more reserved and timid in this adaptation, which is a far cry from her comic book counterpart and most versions (who are usually portrayed as [[LargeHam Large Hams]] whenever they are using their mutant powers).
* AdaptationalWimp: In addition to becoming more timid, Storm is prone to getting a TapOnTheHead to keep her from easily winning fights and has been knocked out or incapacitated numerous times more often than other X-Men of the show, which is a ''huge'' contrast from the Storm from the comics as well as the other animated X-Men series, who was one of, if not the last X-Men to be taken down in a fight.

Kitty Pryde, also known as Shadowcat, might be able to become immaterial and able to "phase" through solid objects and living organisms, but her devotion to Professor Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters is anything but insubstantial. Enrolled in the school since she was only thirteen, the spunky young mutant called Shadowcat serves as a cheerleader for Xavier's mission and a valued teammate to Wolverine and the X-Men.

* AffectionateNickname: "Kitty" is a nickname to begin with.
* AwesomeMcCoolname: Either her full name Katherine Pryde or her nickname Kitty Pryde, both of them sound cool.
* DeadpanSnarker: Not often, but Kitty's pretty good when she does. Especially to Bobby.
* [[IntangibleMan Intangible Girl]]: Shadowcat's mutant ability is to phase through solid objects.
* IntergenerationalFriendship: Wolverine and Storm who are older, and Tilde Solmes who is younger.
* JewishAndNerdy: She's probably still Jewish and she's smart.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Kitty can be this with everyone (particularly Bobby), sometimes without even knowing it thanks to her stubborn personality.
* MythologyGag: Kitty's design is inspired by the appearance of her comic book incarnation in the [[ComicBook/AstonishingXMen Astonishing X-Men comics]] and the appearance of the blue and yellow used on her costume emulates that design.

Bobby Drake, also known as Iceman, is one of the founding members of the X-Men. He thinks he's the coolest guy around, but his cockiness may sometimes cause trouble. However, Iceman's ability to project intense cold and convert moisture into ice, forming a variety of icy weapons, protective ice shields and ice slides, has nonetheless made him a valuable asset to Wolverine and the X-Men.
->Voiced By: Creator/YuriLowenthal
----
* AdaptationDyeJob: Iceman has brown hair in the comics. In this series, he has blonde hair (just like he did in ''[[WesternAnimation/SpiderManandHisAmazingFriends Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends]]'') and almost looks like he could be Angel's younger brother.
* AdaptationalSexuality: Iceman's gay in the comics, but it appears that he's straight here (which is closer to his original sexuality in the comics).
* AnIcePerson: Bobby transforms into an an organic ice form, and generates subzero energy to freeze his surroundings, cool and condense moisture in the atmosphere into ice, shaping it into various forms such as snowballs, battering rams, shields, solid blocks, columns, and ice slides.
* DeadpanSnarker: As per usual, Bobby's humor has a tendency to fall in this category.
* ElementalShapeshifter: Iceman originally covered his body with snow. At some point later, He then changed to covering his body with ice and later learned about how to convert his body into organic ice.
* FunPersonified: He's usually this.
* HarmlessFreezing: Iceman encases people in ice a few times, but they never have lasting effects from it.
* OlderThanTheyLook: At first, it appears that Iceman is near the same age as Shadowcat (as he was in the movies and X-Men: Evolution), to the point that they may even be in a relationship, but a later episode shows that he's a founding X-Man, just like he is in the comics.

Rogue has found a home at both Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters and Wolverine and the X-Men.

----
* AntiVillain:[[spoiler:After her FaceHeelTurn.]]
* BadPowersGoodPeople: Removing energy from others is generally something evil characters tend to use, but Rogue tries her best to make it a temporary borrowing boost rather than a selfish draining power.
* BlessedWithSuck: Yes, technically the ability to copy other mutants' powers by touching them makes her very adaptable, but draining people's life energy whenever she touches them is about as sucky as it gets. And absorbing 'everything else about that person, including memories and personality traits. And she can't not do so, rendering her incapable of having any sort of intimate relationship.
* ComicBookFantasyCasting: Kieren van den Blink as Rogue evokes her film actress Creator/AnnaPaquin.

* MythologyGag: Her X-Men uniform is similar to the costume that she wore in the ''[[WesternAnimation/XMen X-Men Animated Series]]'' while her casual clothing is closer to the version in the Film/XMenFilmSeries.
* NotAsYouKnowThem: Rogue's loyalties in this series have been switched from the comics and previous animated incarnations. Usually she is part of the Brotherhood because she has no where else to go, then she joins the X-Men. Here, it's the other way around.
* ParentalSubstitute: Just like in the films, Rogue thinks of Logan as this. Or at least, as an absentee-version of it, since he keeps leaving for days or weeks at a time.

* DoesNotLikeShoes: The unique shape of Nightcrawler's feet make most shoes uncomfortable at best.
* DualWielding: Or rather, triple wielding, due to his prehensile tail.
* {{Goth}}: His design has some Goth influence, but his personality couldn't be [[PerkyGoth further from the stereotype]].
* HandyFeet: His feet are shaped very much like his hands.
* HeroesPreferSwords: As shown in "X-Calibre", Nightcrawler is an excellent fencer.
* HeartIsAnAwesomePower: Nightcrawler taught a group of mutants with "useless" powers this in one episode.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Wolverine, just like in the comics. After escaping from Genosha, Nightcrawler is basically his NumberTwo.

* ChewToy: He has to constantly see his things broken, gets treated with no respect (particularly by the other X-Men), and is generally shoved around by life.
* DitzyGenius. Forge is the tech-wizard who keeps the X-men's more advanced gear running, including the Blackbird and the Danger Room, but he's also a total ditz.
* NonActionGuy: Forge spends more time working on the X-Men's technology than in field missions. He is even conspicuously absent when the Brotherhood attacks the mansion, only showing up after the fight (Which Shadowcat calls him out on).

* BattleCouple: With Cyclops, particularly in the flashback.
* BettyAndVeronica: She's the Betty to Emma's Veronica in relation to Cyclops.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: As per usual, Jean is sweet, motherly and level-headed. But if you were to wrong her or her loved ones (such as Cyclops), then you are in for a world of psychic pain.

And in between that briefly going into Phoenix mode when Cyclops almost gets knifed by Archangel.
* WhatDoesSheSeeInHim: It's evoked (though never outright asked by any of the cast) with Jean in regards to Cyclops, due mostly to the fact that Cyclops is not portrayed with any admirable traits.

Only with the help of the team can Wolverine hope to protect the world from its own bleak future and continue Xavier's mission of peace.
[[Characters/TheAvengersEarthsMightiestHeroesNewAvengers See here for tropes applying to him in]] ''WesternAnimation/TheAvengersEarthsMightiestHeroes''.
->Voiced By: Creator/SteveBlum
----
* AbsurdlySharpBlade: Those pointy claws that stick out of his hands.
* TheAce: As per usual, Wolverine is the best at what he does, and what he does isn't very nice.
* AmusingInjuries: Wolverine's ability to heal from virtually anything has led to him often being the target of some quite slapstick-style humor that would be fatal for most anyone else, such as when Cyclops blasts him out a window for annoying him.
* AnimalThemedSuperbeing: Logan has a lot in common with real wolverines through the fact that they are both small in comparison to others, solitary, extremely aggressive for their size, have very keen senses of smell, and pack powerful claws. Hence the name, Wolverine.
* TheAtoner: One of the reasons given for Wolverine being a hero is that after regaining his memories, he feels very guilty about [[DarkAndTroubledPast all the nasty stuff he did in his past]].
* {{Archenemy}}: of Sabertooth.
* AudibleSharpness: SNIKT! is the sound with the adamantium and SCHLIKT! is the sound without it.
* BadassBiker: Wolverine is this in general through being a skilled Motorcycle rider.
* BerserkButton: It is very simple to get him angry. The simple way to tick him off is hurting his loved ones.
* TheBerserker: As per usual, Wolverine has this as his default fighting style through wading into battle, hacking and slashing with his claws.
* BettyAndVeronica: Logan is the Veronica to Scott's Betty in relation to Jean.
* TheBigGuy: Defied. Despite being [[HeroicBuild muscle-bound]], [[CarpetOfVirility hairy]], badass and everything, Wolverine is actually shorter than most of his friends and foes, the latter (particularly Sabretooth) often calling him ''"runt"'' to insult him.
* CoolOldGuy: Wolverine is arguably one of the coolest (and oldest) guys around, but "cool" doesn't necessarily mean [[GoodIsNotNice "nice"...]]
* DeadpanSnarker: Wolverine tends to make sarcastic, if not snarky, remarks.
* DistaffCounterpart: Laura Kinney (aka X-23), who's literally his female clone made from an incomplete DNA sample at Weapon X.
* DrillSergeantNasty: He serves as this towards the entire team.
* FriendToAllChildren: This is best shown when he rescues a blonde haired mutant girl named Magma.
* GeniusBruiser: This is one of Wolverine's biggest strengths is his mind. He's been around for well over a century and has spent quite a bit of that time taking in information. In addition to that, He is a great leader of the X-Men.
* GoodIsNotNice: Although Wolverine more-or-less a heroic guy, unless you're his daughter or some other kid he's taken under his wing or joined the X-Men, it's better he ignores you.
* GutturalGrowler: As per usual, Wolverine speaks with a deep, gravelly voice due to once again having Creator/StevenBlum as his voice actor.
* HealingFactor: Part of his powers.
* HonorBeforeReason: Wolverine is attacked by Scott for hitting on Jean. The clawed one refuses to fight back simply because he promised Jean he wouldn't (granted, Wolverine brought this on himself since he hit on a woman who was already in a relationship). He also holds to promises he made to Mystique and Yuriko years earlier.
* IconicItem: As per usual, they are his claws, especially in combination with the gloves that have the chutes the claws extend through.
* IconicOutfit: Wolverine wears his trademark ''Astonishing X-Men'' costume from the comics.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: Unfortunately due to the fact that the show was meant for children to watch, Wolverine was only allowed to use this particular signature move that he has against robots (such as the Sentinels).
* TheLeader: He was promoted to the leader of the X-Men by Professor Xavier after Cyclops was unable to.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Wolverine is a Jerk with an abrasive personality, a serious anti-authoritarian attitude, and nasty personal habits. At the same time, he is a devoted friend with a soft spot for teenagers (particularly girls), women, and children. He will go out of his way to help the people that need him.
* TheNoseKnows: Wolverine's sense of smell is very strong, resulting in him using this ability to track mutants. The viewer even gets an inside perspective into it by seeing the imaginary scent track left by whoever Wolverine is trying to find.
* OneManArmy: As always, he's a very tough member of the X-men.
* PragmaticHero: As per usual, Wolverine is shown to be very violent during the fight scenes.
* RebelliousSpirit: Subverted due to exchanging his usual role with Scott.
* SpotlightStealingSquad: Wolverine's name is in the title of the show and receives more focus than anyone else (other than Nightcrawler).
* SuperReflexes: Wolverine has heightened reflexes and reaction times, which are tied to his healing factor.
* SuperSenses: A side effect of the healing factor is that all of Wolverine senses are superhumanly keen.
* SuperStrength: Yet another byproduct of his healing factor. Wolverine's muscles, bones, and connective tissue are all denser than those of a normal human, resulting in enhanced strength.
* UnstoppableRage: This tends to happen a lot whenever he goes into berserker mode.
* VitriolicBestBuds: With Cyclops.
* WalkingShirtlessScene: Whenever he's not in costume or his clothes have been removed or destroyed in some fashion.
* WallCrawl: He can do this through poking his claws into surfaces and climbing.
* WolverineClaws: One version of the trope namer.
* WolverinePublicity: The reason why the writers of the show made him the leader of the X-Men and the main character who appears in every episode.
* WorldsBestWarrior: He is [[JackOfAllTrades good enough to put up a fight against all of that]] which results in him being very dangerous.
* TheWorfEffect: Despite having his name in the title, Wolverine is not slacking on his indestructible punching bag duties. Against anyone with a name he either loses, stalemates, or gets a beatdown before winning. These are the hazards of having blades as your main offense when you aren't allowed to cut anyone.
* WouldHitAGirl: Wolverine is willing to attack Mystique and Emma.

Cyclops has the mutant ability to project beams of pure energy from his eyes yet he can only control or block them when he is wearing a visor or sunglasses made out of ruby-quartz material or closing his eyes.

* DeadpanSnarker: He tends to make snarky remarks toward Wolverine.

* TheDeterminator: Cyclops is a very disturbing and unheroic (if not outright unsympathetic) example with his obsession with trying to search for Jean Grey.
* DisproportionateRetribution: Scott violently blasts Logan for implying that he wasn't good enough for Jean. The results of this action are... not good.
* DistressedDude: Cyclops appears to be cursed with this, especially in flashbacks.
* EyeBeams: Cyclops' optic blasts have a [[BlessedWithSuck disadvantage]] in the fact that he [[PowerIncontinence is unable to turn them off]], requiring him to constantly wear a protective visor or ruby sunglasses.

* PersonOfMassDestruction: He becomes this when he opens his eyes while not wearing shades or a visor.
* PowerIncontinence: Without his trademark visor he wears as part of his costume or a pair of ruby quartz glasses out of costume, Cyclops would be firing his EyeBeams 24/7.

* PowerOfTheSun: As per usual, Cyclops stores solar power to use his optic blasts.
* RedOniBlueOni: Unlike the other versions, Cyclops is the red oni to Wolverine's blue oni.
* ShrinkingViolet: As a teenager, his self esteem was definitely not the highest due to being bullied at the group home that he was placed in and mocked and ridiculed by his fellow first class teammates of the X-Men.
* StepfordSnarker: Scott is cold and often sarcastic as well as being broken, probably beyond repair.

* TookALevelInDumbass: Cyclops is so caught up in his despair over Jean's disappearance that he does things like go off to pick a fight with Mr. Sinister, which even ''Wolverine'' proclaims is a bad idea. Arguments about characterization aside, it's not so hard to consider why Professor Xavier might have considered Cyclops to not be in any shape to lead the team again.

She can also project mental blasts to knock out her victims by touching their brow and is able to change her skin into diamond form.

* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:Emma may not have been working for the X-Men per-se, but her goals were always good (stop the Phoenix). It's the Inner Circle who had a FaceHeelTurn when they decided to use the Phoenix as a tool for their own power.]]
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: In the final episode, Emma Frost ultimately sacrifices herself to prevent the Phoenix Force from causing destruction. Had the second season happened, she would apparently have returned.]]
* HotTeacher: She certainly has the attention of some of the male characters (especially Bobby and Forge).
* ImmuneToMindControl: Emma Frost is able to transform in a diamond form that prevents her from using her own telepathy and renders her immune to anyone else's.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Despite her aloof behavior and extreme methods, she genuinely cares about the mutant race and her teammates (especially Cyclops).
* ManipulativeBitch: [[spoiler: Emma is naturally this to the X-Men.]]
* TheMole: [[spoiler:Emma accidentally caused the explosion at the Xavier Institute and stole Xavier's body so that she could buy her way onto the team and eventually have another chance to find Jean. Or more precisely, the Phoenix. Though she did have good intentions...]]
* MsFanservice: Emma's costume design has gone completely unchanged from one of her comic looks. And considering how she [[{{Stripperiffic}} usually dresses]]... they [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar sure were lucky for being able to do so]].
* MostCommonSuperpower: She's shown to be very buxom through her corset.

----
* BadassPacifist: Beast always offers his foes a chance to surrender.

Storm is able control the weather and create rain, snow, sleet, fog, hail, and lightning.
->Voiced By: Creator/SusanDalian
----
* AdaptationPersonalityChange: Storm is more reserved and timid in this adaptation, which is a far cry from her comic book counterpart and most versions (who are usually portrayed as [[LargeHam Large Hams]] whenever they are using their mutant powers).
* AdaptationalWimp: In addition to becoming more timid, Storm is prone to getting a TapOnTheHead to keep her from easily winning fights and has been knocked out or incapacitated numerous times more often than other X-Men of the show, which is a ''huge'' contrast from the Storm from the comics as well as the other animated X-Men series, who was one of, if not the last X-Men to be taken down in a fight.
* {{Archenemy}}: The Shadow King.
* BadassCape: She has this on her costume.
* BlankWhiteEyes: She has these whenever she is using her powers.
* CombatStilettos: She has them on her costume.
* ComicBookMoviesDontUseCodenames: A Lone [[AvertedTrope Aversion]]; she's called Storm more often than her real name. Presumably because it's less of a mouthful than Ororo.
* DemotedToExtra: Storm's role in the show is much smaller compared to other versions, despite being a major character in the comics as well as one of the most recognizable members of the X-Men and in the main cast of nearly all the previous animated adaptations, to give Wolvie a bigger role.
* ElementalPowers: She has complete control over the weather, which gives her the ability to whip up [[ShockAndAwe lightning]], [[BlowYouAway wind]], and [[AnIcePerson ice storms]] in combat. Hence the name Storm.
* FisherKing: Her mood influences her weather manipulation powers.
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: Her eyes also tend to glow whenever she is using her powers.

* StatuesqueStunner: Storm is a very tall beauty.
* StreetUrchin: When she was younger, she lived on the streets and worked for the Shadow King.
* TheWorfEffect: A ''stark'' contrast to her comic book counterpart and most versions. Most of the time, Storm has been knocked out or incapacitated numerous times more often than other X-Men of the show during the fight scenes.

As such, he leads a dual life. One playing the dutiful heir to the family fortune, and the other as the mysterious Angel, who uses his abilities to help those in need and is a member of the X-Men.

Enrolled in the school since she was only thirteen, the spunky young mutant called Shadowcat serves as a cheerleader for Xavier's mission and a valued teammate to Wolverine and the X-Men.
->Voiced By: Creator/DanielleJudovits
----
* AffectionateNickname: "Kitty" is a nickname to begin with.
* AwesomeMcCoolname: Either her full name Katherine Pryde or her nickname Kitty Pryde, both of them sound cool.
* DeadpanSnarker: Not often, but Kitty's pretty good when she does. Especially to Bobby.
* [[IntangibleMan Intangible Girl]]: Shadowcat's mutant ability is to phase through solid objects.
* IntergenerationalFriendship: Wolverine and Storm who are older, and Tilde Solmes who is younger.
* JewishAndNerdy: She's probably still Jewish and she's smart.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Kitty can be this with everyone (particularly Bobby), sometimes without even knowing it thanks to her stubborn personality.
* MythologyGag: Kitty's design is inspired by the appearance of her comic book incarnation in the [[ComicBook/AstonishingXMen Astonishing X-Men comics]] and the appearance of the blue and yellow used on her costume emulates that design.

Bobby Drake, also known as Iceman, is one of the founding members of the X-Men. He thinks he's the coolest guy around, but his cockiness may sometimes cause trouble. However, Iceman's ability to project intense cold and convert moisture into ice, forming a variety of icy weapons, protective ice shields and ice slides, has nonetheless made him a valuable asset to Wolverine and the X-Men.
->Voiced By: Creator/YuriLowenthal
----
* AdaptationDyeJob: Iceman has brown hair in the comics. In this series, he has blonde hair (just like he did in ''[[WesternAnimation/SpiderManandHisAmazingFriends Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends]]'') and almost looks like he could be Angel's younger brother.
* AdaptationalSexuality: Iceman's gay in the comics, but it appears that he's straight here (which is closer to his original sexuality in the comics).
* AnIcePerson: Bobby transforms into an an organic ice form, and generates subzero energy to freeze his surroundings, cool and condense moisture in the atmosphere into ice, shaping it into various forms such as snowballs, battering rams, shields, solid blocks, columns, and ice slides.
* DeadpanSnarker: As per usual, Bobby's humor has a tendency to fall in this category.
* ElementalShapeshifter: Iceman originally covered his body with snow. At some point later, He then changed to covering his body with ice and later learned about how to convert his body into organic ice.
* FunPersonified: He's usually this.
* HarmlessFreezing: Iceman encases people in ice a few times, but they never have lasting effects from it.
* OlderThanTheyLook: At first, it appears that Iceman is near the same age as Shadowcat (as he was in the movies and X-Men: Evolution), to the point that they may even be in a relationship, but a later episode shows that he's a founding X-Man, just like he is in the comics.

Her mutant ability to drain the life energy, memories and powers of anyone she touches forced her to keep those she cared about at arm's length, literally. Rogue has found a home at both Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters and Wolverine and the X-Men.
->Voiced By: Kieren van den Blink
----
* AntiVillain:[[spoiler:After her FaceHeelTurn.]]
* BadPowersGoodPeople: Removing energy from others is generally something evil characters tend to use, but Rogue tries her best to make it a temporary borrowing boost rather than a selfish draining power.
* BlessedWithSuck: Yes, technically the ability to copy other mutants' powers by touching them makes her very adaptable, but draining people's life energy whenever she touches them is about as sucky as it gets. And absorbing 'everything else about that person, including memories and personality traits. And she can't not do so, rendering her incapable of having any sort of intimate relationship.
* ComicBookFantasyCasting: Kieren van den Blink as Rogue evokes her film actress Creator/AnnaPaquin.
* CantHaveSexEver: She's unable to touch any one without her gloves, or else she will absorb their powers, life energy, and memories.
* CivvieSpandex: Rogue wears a yellow, leather bomber jacket over a pair of tights as her uniform.

* InstantExpert: Rogue is temporary this to the Brotherhood.
* MythologyGag: Her X-Men uniform is similar to the costume that she wore in the ''[[WesternAnimation/XMen X-Men Animated Series]]'' while her casual clothing is closer to the version in the Film/XMenFilmSeries.
* NotAsYouKnowThem: Rogue's loyalties in this series have been switched from the comics and previous animated incarnations. Usually she is part of the Brotherhood because she has no where else to go, then she joins the X-Men. Here, it's the other way around.
* ParentalSubstitute: Just like in the films, Rogue thinks of Logan as this. Or at least, as an absentee-version of it, since he keeps leaving for days or weeks at a time.

* DoesNotLikeShoes: The unique shape of Nightcrawler's feet make most shoes uncomfortable at best.
* DualWielding: Or rather, triple wielding, due to his prehensile tail.

* HandyFeet: His feet are shaped very much like his hands.
* HeroesPreferSwords: As shown in "X-Calibre", Nightcrawler is an excellent fencer.
* HeartIsAnAwesomePower: Nightcrawler taught a group of mutants with "useless" powers this in one episode.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Wolverine, just like in the comics. After escaping from Genosha, Nightcrawler is basically his NumberTwo.

* ButtMonkey: [[RaceLift He even gets whiter as the series goes on.]]
* ChewToy: He has to constantly see his things broken, gets treated with no respect (particularly by the other X-Men), and is generally shoved around by life.
* DitzyGenius. Forge is the tech-wizard who keeps the X-men's more advanced gear running, including the Blackbird and the Danger Room, but he's also a total ditz.
* NonActionGuy: Forge spends more time working on the X-Men's technology than in field missions. He is even conspicuously absent when the Brotherhood attacks the mansion, only showing up after the fight (Which Shadowcat calls him out on).

* BettyAndVeronica: She's the Betty to Emma's Veronica in relation to Cyclops.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: As per usual, Jean is sweet, motherly and level-headed. But if you were to wrong her or her loved ones (such as Cyclops), then you are in for a world of psychic pain.

* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: As a teenager, Jean went toe to toe with Magneto to save teen Cyclops may count, but probably even more so as an adult when she (justifiably) violently throws Emma Frost up against a wall and binds her there with pipes for kissing an unconscious Cyclops. And in between that briefly going into Phoenix mode when Cyclops almost gets knifed by Archangel.
* WhatDoesSheSeeInHim: It's evoked (though never outright asked by any of the cast) with Jean in regards to Cyclops, due mostly to the fact that Cyclops is not portrayed with any admirable traits.
* WhatTheHellHero:
** This is pretty much Jean's reaction to Cyclops zapping Wolverine after Wolverine hit on her without knowing she made the clawed one promise her he wouldn't fight Cyclops.
