* FaceHeelTurn: '90s Animated Series

* CainAndAbel: With Zaladane, who ''might'' be her sister. "Might", because we've only got Zaladane's word for it, and nothing else has ever backed it up (Zaladane's protracted case of dead doesn't help).

* MostCommonSuperPower: It's very easy to see how she could be the Scarlet Witch's sister.

* AdventurerArchaeologist: Actually, Adventurer Geologist.

* FlatCharacter: The original Changeling was just a groveling suckup villain ala Toad who was chosen to help Charles fake his death because it would be such an unexpected twist. Averted with the animated series Morph, whose characterization is explored after his return from death and in the third season which devoted a whole episode to him, and the SequelSeries ''WesternAnimation/XMen97'' sees the character as a regular part of the team[[note]]and undergoing AdaptationalGenderIdentity, being depicted as non-binary, though in keeping with the series still being set in the '90s and thus "they/them" wasn't in use, the character is depicted as still using "he/him" pronouns[[/note]]

* KilledOffForReal: And aside from one instance as an undead, he's never come back from the dead.

[[ComicBook/{{Cyclops}} Scott Summers']] younger and more rebellious brother. When Scott and he were orphaned during an alien-caused plane crash, Alex was adopted, Scott was stuck in the orphanage. Alex likes the X-Men, but resents Scott's position, so is usually a reserve member. Alex has the mutant power to project energy blasts from his hands, but Scott and Alex are immune to each other's powers, leading to fist-fights between them during conflicts. Occasionally sports an out-of-control temper and the power of a small sun. Is the long-time boyfriend of [[ComicBook/{{Polaris}} Lorna Dane a.k.a. Polaris]], although the two eventually settled on being friends. Had his own series for several years, ''Mutant X'', which involved him being trapped in a parallel world.

As a long-running character in the Franchise/MarvelUniverse, Polaris has appeared in various other media since being introduced. She showed up in a few episodes of ''WesternAnimation/XMenTheAnimatedSeries'', as well as ''WesternAnimation/WolverineAndTheXMen2009''. In live-action, Polaris features as a regular on Creator/{{FOX}}'s ''Series/TheGifted2017'', portrayed there by Emma Dumont. This version of the character emphasized Lorna's issues with mental illness, as well as make reference to her familiar parentage.

* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Mentions that he feels this way about his elder brother, Scott.

** Another reality's version of Mimic, with the same ability as the Exiles' version, had copied the abilities of Magneto, Professor X, Blink and Cannonball- the guy had definitely won the {{superpower lottery}}.[[note]]For those not familiar with Marvel Comics: this Mimic had Magneto's vast magnetic power, Professor X's telepathic abilities, Blink's teleportation powers, and Cannonball's FlyingBrick forcefield.[[/note]]

* CharacterDevelopment: Originally Mimic was a stock JerkJock who was only in the superhero game for his own self-interest and self-aggrandizement. As time went on, his self-aggrandizing was subjected to {{Flanderization}} and he became a pathetic AttentionWhore kind of figure, with his incredible powers completely overshadowed by his need for adulation. Then he got hit with a HumiliationConga that ended with him a prisoner of the Thunderbolts, and after a brief relapse in ''Dark X-Men'' he '''finally''' matured for real, and his tragic friendship with the tortured Michael Pointer a.k.a. Omega. His StoryBreakerPower and lack of popularity kept him a second-string character, though, and while he managed to narrowly dodge being KilledOffForReal, he's since been PutOnABus.

* DeathIsCheap: Back in the '70s he was KilledOffForReal in a HeroicSacrifice while fighting the [[ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk Hulk]]. A decade later it was revealed that he had simply fallen into a coma, and when ComicBook/{{Wolverine}} came near him he subconsciously absorbed Wolvie's HealingFactor and revived. As of 2019 he's dead again, but considering his previous method of revival bringing him back should be easy when the writer comes along who wants to. And indeed, as of ''ComicBook/XMen2019'' (not even a year later!) Mimic is alive again.

* HeCleansUpNicely: It took the intervention of Norman Osborn of all people, but after a decade of rocking the hobo look Mimic finally cleaned himself up in ''Dark X-Men'', and wouldn't you know, he pulled off squeaky-clean all-American just as well as his ''Exiles'' counterpart.

* PhlebotinumOverload: He can absorb the powers of multiple mutants, but there is a limit to the number of powers he can absorb. During his stint as a Dark Avenger the X-Men were able to beat him by having a large number of students ZergRush him. He was also unable to fully mimic the power of the god-tier mutant Nate Grey, and much like Rogue's attempt to steal the power of Exodus, had to content himself with just one dollar from the SuperpowerLottery winner's account instead.
* PowerCopying: Mimic can take on the powers of any mutant he's around and his body altering itself to match (such as gaining Beast's physique and Angel's wings). Thanks to his time spent with the O5 X-Men, he's permanently copied their powers and, in the case of Angel and Beast, physical attributes.
* ProgressivelyPrettier: His attractiveness seems proportionately scaled to how villainous he is in any particular storyline, going from a bearded hobo-lookalike while with the Brotherhood to looking like Warren's long lost twin brother in ''X-Men: Legacy''. And then there's the heroic ''Exiles'' Mimic who has a very clean-cut all-American look to him.
