History Characters / XMen2000sMembers

* PillarsOfMoralCharacter: Very into saving lives.

* AscendedExtra: Tessa made her first appearance in the "DarkPhoenixSaga" as Sebastian Shaw's assistant and was revealed to be a much more important character later.

* MakeMeWannaShout: During his brief stint with the NewWarriors, Jono wore a sonic rig that could turn sound into energy constructs.

* UglyGuyHotWife: Beak looks like a chicken, while Angel looks like a normal girl with fly wings. They both got hot in NewWarriors after being depowered.

* {{Revenge}}: We first meet him as a ''NewMutants'' villain, wanting to get revenge for Thunderbird's death. He was even originally named Thunderbird in tribute.

** Flight

!!'''Hope Summers'''

* ActionGirl: Let’s see, she’s been trained in the arts of survival and war since she was a child, by one of Marvel’s most iconic anti-heroes. She also carries a {{BFG}}.
* AllYourPowersCombined: So far her power set's being kept deliberately vague, but so far she seems to be a power-copier like Mimic.
** Most of the time she just copies Cable's power of "shooting a really big gun."
* BewareTheNiceOnes: She really, really would just love to try to be a normal girl. But don’t try to hurt her Lights. Ever.
* {{BFG}}: just like [[ComicBook/{{Cable}} her adoptive father]], she likes wielding and using this.
* BreakTheCutie: Her entire childhood has pretty much been one long list of people trying to do this to her. The fact that it hasn’t succeeded says a lot about her character.
* CrazyPrepared: When she decides to go to Alaska to figure out what happened to her mother, she packs enough supplies and weaponry for a small army—and then has to be told that it’s not really necessary. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] by the fact that she grew up in a CrapsackWorld that was long, long AfterTheEnd, while being hunted by an AxCrazy ex-hero. Did we mention she was raised by one of the Marvel Universe’s consummate soldiers and survivors?
* DaddysGirl: Cable's not her father, but he might as well be.
* {{Expy}}: The editors and staff at Marvel have been playing her up as one of these for Jean Grey from practically Day One, even putting the Phoenix effect around her in promos (though [[TrailersAlwaysLie nowhere in-story]]). So far, reception's been... [[BrokenBase mixed.]]
* FieryRedhead: Uncannily resemble ComicBook/JeanGrey's.
* GoodIsNotNice: Well, what do you expect from someone raised by Cable?
* LaserGuidedTykeBomb: Sort of, and sort of subverted; Cable raises her and protects her for the explicit purpose of saving the mutant race, but he doesn't really know how she's going to do this, so he can't teach her anything directly related to that task.
* MeaningfulName: story-wise, she was named after another deceased Hope who was Cable's wife for a time and acted as a mother-figure for the younger Hope.
* MessianicArchetype: Though not an AllLovingHero, personality-wise... being raised by [[NinetiesAntiHero Cable]] doesn't do wonders for an idealistic mindset.
* NaiveNewcomer: After a childhood travelling through increasingly desolate futurescapes, she's ecstatic on arriving in in the consumerist paradise of the 21st century.
* PlotRelevantAgeUp: Goes a child to a young adult in a very short amount of time.
* PowerCopying: One of her main abilities.
* WhatTheHellHero: She ''does not'' approve of the way Cyclops runs the team.

* CuteBruiser: Hisako is a 5'4", 112 pound, cute and quippy Japanese girl. She can also flip over tanks.

* FieryRedhead: which makes some people wonder if she's reincarnated Jean Grey or not.

** BadassLongcoat: ''And'' a SpyCatsuit.

* DualWielding: Handguns

* MasterOfIllusion

* [[WouldHurtAChild Would Shoot A Child In The Head]]: And YMMV whether he does or does ''not'' cross the MoralEventHorizon in doing so.

* GreenLanternRing

* GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe

!!'''Emma Grace Frost/White Queen'''

First appeared as a villainess who tended to underdress for the occasion. Currently, she's a heroine with less than heroic tendencies, and still likes to underdress. Has (or had; she killed one) two mutant sisters, and a gay brother who went insane after their father had him institutionalized.

* AbusiveParents: Her father was cold and emotionless and encouraged his children to play mindgames with each other. Her mother was a neglectful drug abuser.
* ActionMom: for Stepford Cuckoos, her FIVE cloned daughters. She can be protective to them, and she is quite saddened when two of them is dead (even if one of them, Esme, once betrayed and tried to kill her).
* AdaptationalHeroism: Many animated adaptations take away Emma's more [[TheSociopath sociopathic]] personality traits. Rearranging her backstory, often giving her a HiddenHeartOfGold among other positive qualities.
* AntiHero: UnscrupulousHero [[BaseBreaker or]] NominalHero.
* TheAtoner (in ''Generation X'', and newly focused on by Creator/JossWhedon)
* {{Badass}}: Emma Frost is easily one of the most powerful mutants on the team.
** BadassBookworm
** CulturedBadass
** PopCulturedBadass
* BattleCouple: with Cyclops, a relationship which lasted more than 10 (real world) years before they broke up.
* BastardGirlfriend: The White Queen's entire deal.
* BettyAndVeronica: Veronica for Cyclops.
* BigBad: One of several in the original run of ''NewMutants''.
* BlondesAreEvil: More intensely during her Hellfire Club days.
* BreakTheCutie: Her [[FreudianExcuse retconned]] backstory qualifies.
* BreakoutCharacter: Easily the most prominent and popular 21st century addition to the X-Men.
* BrokenAce / BrokenBird / TroubledButCute: Again, depending on the writer.
* [[ByronicHero Byronic Heroine]]: Rare female example, but DependingOnTheWriter, it can be well done or extremely disturbing.
* CainAndAbel: She and her sister, Adrienne.
* ColdBloodedTorture: One of her favorite psionic experiences is inducing extreme levels of pain, often in people already held captive. She has continued to violate and traumatise people over the years, frequently in combination with SmugSuper {{One Liner}}s.
* CoolAndUnusualPunishment: She will make you do some really weird things using telepathy: for example, 48 hours of uncontrollable vomiting upon hearing the word "parsley".
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: At one point, she was in the Hellfire Club.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Her father was cold, uncaring, sadistic and physically abusive, her mother was a neglectful drug user, her older sister was identical to their father, and her younger sister couldn't care less about her. The only family member who cared about her became a drug addict (thanks to his father's horrible treatment to him), and when she thought things would be better to her, her friend was killed in front of her, another friend was a bitch who manipulated her, and her LoveInterest dumped her because she was a mutant. She also used to enjoy torture, mind-rape, followed by setting hunting dogs on the nightly victims (yes, really), corporate corruption, manipulation, deceit, and forcing opponents to kill themselves during her villain years. Shaw required her to help killing her two best friends to become White Queen.
* DeadpanSnarker: It makes her appear even colder at some points.
* DependingOnTheWriter: Scott Lobdell's version had almost nothing in common with the CorruptCorporateExecutive supremacist MindRape ColdBloodedTorture fetishist that she used to be. Instead, she became a excellent teacher doing genuinely good actions while [[GoodFeelsGood feeling good about it]]. However, later in ''GenerationX'', she was strongly hinted to have murdered a police officer looking into her sister's death (at Emma's hands). GrantMorrison and some other writers returned her closer to her roots again, according to some it made her more interesting, but played her as a complete [[TheHedonist hedonistic]] JerkAss, which sat badly with those who were introduced to her through ''Generation X'', because it put all the CharacterDevelopment she had during seven years in a trash bin. Later other writers attempted to either return her to the less extreme portrayal or attempt to integrate the two.
* DefrostingIceQueen: She is in no danger of defrosting completely anytime soon. Since she was already defrosting in the ''{{Generation X}}'', but then Morrison reverted her into even more of an ice queen than when she was a villain, any defrosting now still seems like a regression. However, in some chapters, she seems to be [[{{Chickification}} melting]].
* DependingOnTheWriter: A BrokenBird with a SugarAndIcePersonality, [[TheAtoner trying to atone for her past sins]] and [[IJustWantToBeLoved just wanting to be loved]], or an amoral JerkSue SadistTeacher with no sense of ethics who [[MoralMyopia is praised for]] being a textbook extreme [[TheSociopath sociopathic]] serial-rapist, torture-fetishist, supremacist, and otherwise all-around BastardGirlfriend? Basically, the answer seems to be that she has been portrayed as two (three, four...) entirely different types of people over the years.
* DyeHard: Her natural hair color is brown.
* EvilFeelsGood (More intensely during the Hellfire Club days, but DependingOnTheWriter, still maintains similar patterns).
* EvilMentor: Sebastian Shaw
* EvilPaysBetter (Hellfire Club days)
* EvilTeacher (Hellfire Club days)
* FireWaterJuxtaposition: Used to contrast her with Jean when she first enters Scott's life. Emma is constantly associated with ice and the cold because of her surname "Frost", her [[WomanInWhite all-white attire]] and her cool temperament, and she resembles an ice sculpture when in her organic diamond form; Jean is constantly associated with fire and warmth because of her red hair, her codename "Phoenix" and her unpredictable temper, and her psionic powers frequently manifest as flames.
* FreakyFridayFlip: Pulled off one with Storm in her Hellfire Club days, in an attempt to destroy the X-Men from within.
* TheGloriousWarOfSisterlyRivalry: Her father had her compete with her sisters for the right to be his heir (her brother had the good sense to stay out of it. Consequently, he was the sibling she was closest to). Her rivalry with her eldest sister, Adrienne, became so bad that it eventually went [[CainAndAbel fatal.]]
* GoodFeelsGood: In a number of occasions, she had expressed how much she was trying to be a good person and liked to do "the right things". She does have a bad conscience though, enjoys earning approval from Scott, and has been praised for a number of good deeds, although recurrently [[ShootTheDog a bit extreme]]. However, she seems to enjoy earning approval from Scott, and some of her teammates or students.
* GuiltComplex: As explicitly stated on ''Astonishing X-Men'' #18.
** BeAllMySinsRemembered
* GrandTheftMe: Happened once involuntarily with Iceman. Back then Iceman really wasn't living up to the potential of his powers. The minute Emma entered his body, she used his abilities in ways he couldn't imagine, which eventually left Iceman more than a little envious.
* TheHedonist: DependingOnTheWriter.
* [[HeroWithAnFInGood Heroine With An F In Good]]: Occasionally improves.
* HeelFaceTurn: After a fashion. It's kind of funny, she just sort of "fell into" hanging with the X-Men. She was comatose for a long while and in their care, and revived right in the middle of the big Phalanx mega-crossover. She escaped with the rest of the X-Men and, having nowhere else to go, just wound up helping them.
* HotTeacher: fits this trope to a T.
* HyperAwareness
** LivingLieDetector: She doesn't even need to use her powers to do it.
* JerkAssWoobie: Her [[TearJerker background]] makes her qualify for this, and in addition Emma lost all of her students ''three times'', was the sole survivor of a massacre that killed more than 14 million people, and struggles with herself a lot for her past (and present) morally questionable acts.
* JerkJustifications: Emma was originally presented as a textbook sociopath, somebody extremely inclined towards being very bad, who has no illusions about the "severe warts on her soul", on-off trying to learn how to be good, and stumbling along the way a lot. [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold But despite her aloof behavior and extreme methods, she genuinely cares about the mutant race and her students.]]
* KarmaHoudini: She used to torture captive people to death for sexual gratification. Yet isn't serving multiple life-sentences. She ''pays'' in occasional bad conscience for some of the many horrible things she does, and the tragedies of losing her students, but it's never enough to make her stop doing very morally objectionable things.
* KindheartedCatLover: Well, maybe not exactly kindhearted, but she's a cat lover...
* KnightTemplar: She's incredibly ruthless, brutal, and uncompromising, but she's fiercely protective of her students and allies and is greatly invested in helping mutantkind advance and have a better tomorrow. She's just FAR less touchy about using extreme force to achieve her goals and deal with anyone who tries to harm her or those she has sworn to protect.
* LightFeminineAndDarkFeminine: Invoked. She always wears a white costume whereas Selene, the Black queen, usually wears a black verion of it.
* MamaBear: Seriously, do NOT threaten her students. ...On the other hand, originally (as per the Firestar mini) she regularly tortured them when dissatisfied with their progress or wanted to get a point across. She is currently trying to be a better teacher, however, but is still not above occasionally violating them if she deems it necessary, such as the Elixir case. In her defense, Elixir had just attacked Colossus, one of her [[http://i45.tinypic.com/xdi0zs.jpg best friends]], and others X-Men had done worst threats to their own students.
** Hell, she can even becomes this for teen Jean Grey if she wants to despite she dislikes the younger girl. Granted, at the time teen Jean is among those who have been psychically attacked by Lady Xorn, a.k.a. older Jean Grey from yet another future timeline. But it's quite impressive Emma would like to stand up for her despite she strongly opposed modern Cyclops' decision for allowing Past X-Men to join Cyclops' X-Men. That being said, Emma, along with the Cuckoos, are still curb-stomped by Lady Xorn, and teen Jean has to be the one who ultimately defeat her older self.
-->'''Emma''': No one said anything about a metal-masked Jean Grey from the future and no one said anything about '''you beating the hell out of yourself'''. You want to psychically battle someone, pick on someone who absolutely despises you.
* ManipulativeBitch: Even after the HeelFaceTurn
* MeaningfulName: In her villain days, she wasn't really evil in an "ice queen" manner, and in fact outwardly played the role of a benevolent friendly and somewhat nerdy headmaster, so "Frost" didn't really mean anything until Morrison decided it did. Post-Morrison, her surname also serves to highlight the OppositesAttract nature of her relationship with Scott ("'''Frost'''" and "'''Summer'''s"--get it?).
* MindRape: [[MoralMyopia She thoroughly loves this trope.]]
* MostCommonSuperpower: Frost is one of the very few superheroines known to have breast implants.
* MsFanservice: Emma Frost gets quite a few scenes where she's wearing even less than usual.
* MyGreatestFailure: She did not take the deaths of the original Hellions well. In fact, this is partly what precipitated her HeelFaceTurn.
* NighInvulnerable: She eventually gained a "secondary mutation" that lets her shapeshift into a form that is living diamond. This makes her extremely difficult to hurt, but disables her PsychicPowers until she reverts to her fleshy form.
* OddFriendship: with Wolverine. Also a FanPreferredCouple.
** In a ironic twist, out of all the NewMutants, she has the most relaxed friendship with Sam Guthrie.
** She's now friends with teen Jean Grey! Everyone on the X-Men team were more than a little freaked out by this
* OfCorsetsSexy (Hellfire Club days)
* PayEvilUntoEvil: Takes this attitude towards many things.
** DisproportionateRetribution: Towards plenty of regular people who have simply somewhat annoyed her.
* PetTheDog: She has turned very loyal to her students, genuinely loved Cyclops; and although she started out heavily into rape, torture, bondage, brainwashing, and slavery, [[MoralMyopia she was later shown as extremely opposed to the real-world variants]].
* {{Pride}}: Even post HeelFaceTurn she's rather arrogant.
* ProgressivelyPrettier: In-universe example: she was HollywoodHomely in her teenage years (her origin mini-series had her shown and treated as 'girl next door' pretty) but has made several plastic surgeries to look beautiful.
** Frost is one of the few comic book characters to [[MostCommonSuperPower admit that she's had breast implants]].
* PsychicAssistedSuicide
* PsychicPowers: which she can't use when in her NighInvulnerable mode.
* RichBitch: Even post HeelFaceTurn.
* SecondLove: She was Cyclops's second longest lasting girlfriend after Jean Grey, but alas, it didn't work out in the end.
* SmugSuper: Her problem is that she's good and she knows it.
* SourOutsideSadInside
* SoProudOfYou: To Kitty in ''Giant Size Astonishing X-Men'' #1 and Hisako in the anime.
* SpotlightStealingSquad (seems to get more attention in the comics now, than women who've been in the team far longer).
* {{Stripperific}}: Especially on the infamous Greg Horn covers.
** She does it on purpose as a way of making it easier to distract and manipulate men; as far as she's concerned, it's just another way of automatically putting the ball in her court.
* SugarAndIcePersonality: During ComicBook/GenerationX, beneath her aloof and apathetic behavior, Emma was a tortured soul who [[IJustWantToBeLoved just wanted to be loved]] and [[IJustWantToHaveFriends trusted by her teammates]]. This was carried over by some writers in later X-Books.
* SurvivorGuilt: Due to being the sole survivor of the Genosha massacre.
* TeamMom: To her students at least.
* TokenEvilTeammate: Subverted or played straight, DependingOnTheWriter.
* VillainBallMagnet: Emma struggles to fight her darker urges, and on a few occasions she gives in.
* VitriolicBestBuds: Her relationship with certain other X-women. In the mini-series that reintroduced Nova (the flaming Herald of Galactus, not the other guy), she's this to quite a few superheroines in the Marvel Universe given the number that showed up to her birthday party. They might not like the way she does things, but respect what she can do and she's nothing if not interesting to the more straight-laced heroines.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: She genuinely seeks to help mutantkind and protect her students, but has some serious flaws in the way she goes about it.
* WomanInWhite: Her defining visual characteristic, in contrast to Selene's WomanInBlack.
* WorkingWithTheEx: Keeps being a part of the Cyclops-led faction of the X-Men even after they broke up.
* ZettaiRyouiki: Type A.

* HeelFaceTurn: After a fashion. It's kind of funny, she just sort of "fell into" hanging with the X-men. She was comatose for a long while and in their care, and revived right in the middle of the big Phalanx mega-crossover. She escaped with the rest of the X-men and, having nowhere else to go, just wound up helping them.

* BatterUp: The baseball bat is practically his signature weapon by the end of Comicbook/{{New X-Men}}. It's implied that Tito Jr's bat is the same one.

* TookALevelInBadass: During Comicbook/{{New X-Men}}'s Planet X arc. He later becomes a [[Comicbook/NewWarriors New Warrior]] and a member of the all-new Teen Brigade, even after he's [[BroughtDownToNormal depowered on M-Day.]]

* FireBreath: Though he can't turn it off and it caused him to lose his lower jaw.

* ProgressivelyPrettier: In-universe example: she was HollywoodHomely in her teenage years, but has made several plastic surgeries to look beautiful.

* CaptainErsatz: {{Diabolik}} and Franchise/{{Fantomas}}. He even has Diabolik's SpyCatsuit and E.V.A. is named after Diabolik's girlfriend Eva Kant. His name is an obvious play on ''Fantomas'', and like the Mexican comicbook ComicBook/{{Fantomas}}, he never removes his mask.

See {{X-23}}

* MyGreatestFailure: She did not take the deaths of the originals Hellions well.

* SugarAndIcePersonality: During ComicBook/GenerationX, beneath her aloof and apathetic behaviour, Emma was a tortured soul who [[IJustWantToBeLoved just wanted to be loved]] and [[IJustWantToHaveFriends trusted by her teammates]]. This was carried over by some writers in later X-Books.

* VitriolicBestBuds: Her relationship with certain other X-women. In the mini-series that reintroduced Nova (the flaming Herald of Galactus, not the other guy), she's this to quite a few superheroines in the Marvel Universe given the number that showed up to her birthday party.

* WorkingWithTheEx: Keeps being a part of the Cyclops-led faction of the x-men even after they broke up.

* VitriolicBestBuds: Her relationship with certain other X-women.

* ThemeTwinNaming: The kids are named after the JacksonFive.

* FieryRedhead

** Happened once involuntarily with Iceman. Back then Iceman really wasn't living up to the potential of his powers. The minute Emma entered his body, she used his abilities in ways he couldn't imagine, which eventually left Iceman more than a little envious.
