-->'''Codename:''' [[Characters/MarvelComicsCyclops Cyclops]]\\
'''Real Name:''' Scott Summers\\
'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KirbyMorrow [[labelnote:Foreign [=VAs=]]]Philippe Allard (FR)[[/labelnote]]

The leader of Professor Xavier's students. A mutant who shoots [[EnergyWeapon high-intensity beams]] [[EyeBeams from his eyes]]. Unfortunately for him, he can never shut this power off so he must always wear special visors or glasses made of ruby-quartz. Due to having a strong sense of morals and drive to be the leader, Scott can sometimes come off as a "boy scout" or "do-gooder". But he also has an extremely competitive side and tries hard to hold his temper in check, which can sometimes get the better of him. In contrast to his reputation for being stiff, he surprisingly shows a good sense of humor. During the series, Scott reunited with his brother Alex, who he thought died in the plane crash both were involved in.
----
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Compared to his cold and serious comic-book counterpart, Scott is much kinder to his friends, likable, and much more unambiguously [[TheCape heroic]] in this series.
* AdaptationPersonalityChange: Contrasting with many other incarnations, this version of Scott is not an aloof, doubtful, stiff loner, but a confident and self-assured leader with a much more extroverted personality and more open sense of humor.
* AlliterativeName: '''S'''cott '''S'''ummers.
* ArchEnemy: Avalanche. Even when he attempts a HeelFaceTurn, Cyclops constantly has issues with him, which Lance is all too happy to provoke.
* BadassInDistress: In "Blind Alley", Mystique abducts Scott, steals his PowerLimiter and leaves him stranded in the Mexican desert, as revenge for him leaving her to be captured in Area 51. She comes back to finish him off when he is exhausted, but Jean saves him at the nick of time.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Reliable and level-headed when calm, but piss him off and watch out!
--> '''Juggernaut:''' (taking a full blast from Cyclops' visor) You think that can stop me? I'm RAW POWER!!\\
'''Cyclops:''' You want it raw, tough guy, then take it RAW!! (takes off his visor and unleashes his unfiltered, unrestrained optic blast)
* BigBrotherInstinct:
** Very protective of his long-lost little brother, Alex.
** As the team leader, he's protective of the younger mutants, particularly Kurt.
* BigBrotherMentor: To Kurt. He takes him under his wing when Kurt joined the X-Men, giving him pilot lessons and advice when needed and acts as a sort of older brother figure to him.
* BlessedWithSuck: Scott's powers ought to be as controllable as any other energy blaster, but he suffered a concussion in his youth [[spoiler:(his parents had pushed him out of a burning plane)]], which somehow led to his inability to shut off his powers after they emerged.
* BlownAcrossTheRoom: Cyclops' eye beams knock bad guys back, but not Cyclops himself. It's one of the ways he's immune to his own power.
* BullyingADragon: In this case, Scott is the dragon. For some reason, everyone wants a piece of Cyke, especially Duncan and Avalanche, ''especially'' when the former finds out ''why'' he wears those shades.
* TheCaptain: And a badass one at that. This is easily one of Scott's most badass depictions yet, especially compared to his less experienced teammates.
* ChickMagnet: Attracted the affections of [[HopelessSuitor Rogue]], [[SatelliteLoveInterest Taryn]], and [[OfficialCouple Jean]]. Even Kitty was seen gushing over him.
* CoolShades: As usual, still has to wear ruby-quartz lenses to control his powers. These come in the form of sunglasses in his civilian outfit.
* DecompositeCharacter: His usual role from the comics and other animated adaptations of being the first mutant recruited into the X-Men is given to Wolverine. Perhaps as a trade-off, he's Nightcrawler's HeterosexualLifePartner, a role that was filled by Wolverine in the comics.
* EyeBeams: Cyclops' mutation is the ability to fire optic blasts of concussive force from his eyes. Unfortunately, he is unable to control it and must wear ruby-quartz glasses to be able to see without destroying everything in his line of sight.
* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: The Responsible to Alex's Foolish. His more controlled and mature nature contrasts with Alex's recklessness and immaturity.
* GlassesAreSexy: His pretty boy design flirts with the idea. It's one of the reasons why girls fawn over him.
--> He's, like, ''totally'' Hollywood in those shades!
* TheHero: He's the leader of the main X-Men team, as always.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Kurt. Scott comes to view him as a younger brother, likely as a result of him being separated from Alex at a young age.
* InkSuitActor: If you take away the shades, Scott closely resembles his voice actor.
* TheLeader: Of the levelheaded variety.
* MrFanservice: TallDarkAndHandsome, with plenty of ClothingDamage to boot.
* NiceGuy: Less aloof than usual portrayals and surprisingly affable.
* OfficialCouple: [[ForegoneConclusion He ends up with Jean]].
* OneWayVisor: He wears one of these as part of his X-Man costume, but ditches it for ruby-quartz glasses while in his civilian outfit.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: When he opens his eyes while not wearing shades or a visor... it's not pretty to put it mildly.
--> Come on Professor. I'm packing a bazooka behind each eyeball! What do ya want from me?
* PowerIncontinence: It's Cyclops. The uncontrollable and destructive eye beams are inherent to the character.
* AProtagonistShallLeadThem: Scott is the protagonist of the first and second season, before Rogue takes over in season three.
* ShipTease: Rogue had a crush on Scott and he ''might'' have had some feelings for her, though he was mostly ObliviousToLove.
* ShirtlessScene: Scott suffers ClothingDamage more than any other male character in the series. A notable example is when he spends the majority of the third season's premiere with a torn shirt, which he somehow got when the X-Mansion exploded.
* SickeninglySweethearts: With Jean. Once they finally get together, Kurt and Kitty gleefully mock them as being this.
-->'''Kurt:''' Jean, darling, please accept this croissant as a symbol of my love!\\
'''Kitty:''' Oh, Scott, you have such a way with pastry!
* SingleTargetSexuality: Scott has only ever had eyes for Jean. He never notices Rogue's obliviously huge crush on him, and even though he dated Taryn for a bit, Scott was always trying to get closer to Jean.
* SunglassesAtNight: ''Don't switch the blade on the guy in shades, oh no!''
* TemporaryBlindness: Played with. Scott is dropped off in Mexico as a part of a trap laid by Mystique. He can see fine, it's just that she took his visor so he has to keep his eyes closed to avoid his EyeBeams causing massive damage to everything he looks at. Plus, you know, he's in the middle of the desert with no one to help him.
-->''(Scott opens his eyes for an instant to get a look at his surroundings)
'' '''Scott:''' The good news...no one was there. The bad news, no one was there.
* WaveMotionGun: Pulls one off against the Juggernaut by tearing off his visor and opening his eyes as wide as he can. Sure, this is the Characters/{{Juggernaut|MarvelComics}} and it only lasts a while, but it takes out huge chunks of the surrounding area.
* {{Workaholic}}: PlayedForLaughs: Scott ''LOVES'' Danger Room Simulations, and is happy to suggest them as a possible group activity at two in the morning.

[[folder:Jean Grey]]
[[quoteright:320:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jean_grey_8572.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:320:''"It bugs me to always be treated like the weaker sex!"'']]

-->'''Real Name:''' [[Characters/MarvelComicsJeanGrey Jean Grey]]\\
'''Voiced by:''' Creator/VenusTerzo [[labelnote:Foreign [=VAs=]]]Laetitia Reva (FR)[[/labelnote]]

Jean was the most popular of the X-Men who attended Bayville High. Beautiful, athletic, and smart, she seemed to not have the problems the others faced trying to fit in and be normal. But her growing powers made her extremely insecure and showed she had her own burdens to bear. And she was ultimately shunned by her former friends when revealed to be a mutant. Jean dated Duncan Matthews for the first two seasons, but later fell for Scott, who had secretly loved her from afar. Jean also has a very close father-and-daughter type relationship with Professor Xavier.
----
* AcademicAthlete: She's shown to excel in various sports like soccer, track, and basketball, and she's mentioned to have been accepted by several universities to study genetics.
* TheAce: Jean is one of the most powerful mutants at the Institute and she has excellent control over her abilities. She is also intelligent, strong-willed, very well-liked, and a naturally gifted athlete.
* ActionGirl: Jean is highly capable of defending herself and others whenever the time calls for it.
* BarrierWarrior: Jean can generate telekinetic force fields to protect herself and others.
* BattleCouple: With Cyclops, combining his optic blasts with her potent psychic abilities.
* BeautyBrainsAndBrawn: The Brains to Kitty's Beauty and Rogue's Brawn. Jean is an honor student, and she's the more level-headed and mature one of the girls.
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: In episode 25, she is the first victim of Mesmero's brainwashing, and goes around collecting the objects he needs to further his agenda.
* ClingyJealousGirl: Of the passive-aggressive kind. She wasn't outwardly mean to Taryn or Rogue when in the jealous mood, but being a {{Tsundere}} she tended to take it on Scott instead via phone PassiveAggressiveKombat.
%%* CoolBigSis: To Kitty and the New Mutant girls.
* DudeMagnet: Jean has had a total of four guys that have taken an interest in her at some point throughout the series: [[OfficialCouple Scott]], [[JerkJock Duncan]], [[StalkerWithACrush Fred]] and [[SplitPersonality Lucas]].
* FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler:She pulls one at some point after the show ends, as Xavier remembers having a vision of her transforming into the Dark Phoenix while he was under Apocalypse's control]].
-->'''Xavier:''' With a heavy heart, I saw the dearest of friends become the most terrible of enemies.
* FieryRedhead: Played with. Jean is level-headed and sensible. However, the mutant-hating Principal Kelly invokes this trope as he questions whether her anger can influence her powers.
-->'''Principal Kelly:''' A fiery temper? That's a dangerous combination with your kind of powers.
* GirlyBruiser: Jean is girly and well-mannered, but also quite the badass with her psionic powers.
* GirlyGirlWithATomboyStreak: She's a feminine young lady who is also a passionate athlete at several different sports and is a GirlyBruiser.
* GreenEyedEpiphany: At the beginning of the series, Jean never really expressed having romantic feelings towards Scott as she had a boyfriend, and they acted more like JustFriends. Until Season 2 when both Taryn and Rogue start showing interest in him, is when Jean starts showing her jealousy. Taryn even points out the fact that Jean has had plenty of chances at Scott but she never fell through with it. That is until later during Season 3.
* HypnotizeTheCaptive: Mesmero uses his hypnosis powers on her to make her steal for him.
* ImprovisedWeapon: She uses this a lot with her telekinetic powers to hurtle stuff at the bad guy.
* JediMindTrick: She usually uses her mind powers to do this trick. For example, when a high school bully breaks Kurt's holowatch and it reveals Kurt's real blue demon form, he starts freaking out. She hypnotizes the bully, making him forget what he saw and to walk away.
-->'''Jean:''' You're going to forget. You don't remember any of this. You're going to leave now.\\
'''Bully:''' ''(while walking away)'' Yeah... I'm going...
* LightFeminineAndDarkFeminine: Along with Kitty, both are the light to Rogue's dark. Jean is a beautiful, confident and polite popular girl whereas Rogue is a snarky, brooding goth loner who has a much shorter hairstyle than the former two.
* LovableJock: Jean is the school's star soccer player. Although referred to as 'Miss Perfect', she's considerate and gracious to everyone.
* MindOverMatter: Her powers are telepathy and telekinesis. She often uses her telekinesis to lift herself and others, giving her the ability of levitation and flight. She also uses her telekinesis to create durable shields and energy blasts.
* MindRape: Is Mesmero's first victim.
* MoralGuardians: Compare Jean to Cyclops in Season One's ''Survival of the Fittest''. Both the Brotherhood and X-Men competed to get to the top of a mountain and place a flag before the other team. The catch was neither team could use their powers. But Scott had no problem cheating and using his powers after seeing Avalanche cheat. Jean though was quick to point out that the X-Men should be above such things and stick to the rules. Interesting that neither Scott or Jean were portrayed in a positive light here with Jean being shown as slightly overbearing and self-serving.
* NotQuiteFlight: Her telekinesis enables her to effectively fly when she uses it on her own body.
* NumberTwo: She's the second-in-command after Cyclops but it's a role she rarely has to play.
* OfficialCouple: With Scott starting Season 3 and onwards.
* PassionateSportsGirl: Jean is not only a member of the X-Men, but also a skilled soccer player and the captain of the girls' team in her school. [[spoiler:Sadly, she's kicked off the team when it's revealed that she's a mutant.]]
%%* PluckyGirl
* PowerIncontinence: In "Power Surge", her powers start to manifest in short destructive bursts, though the seizures eventually worsen to the point she creates a telekinetic typhoon. Jean only manages to regain control after Rogue drains her energy.
* PstandardPsychicPstance: When she uses her powers, she usually either puts her hands on her temples or stretches her arms in the direction of her target.
* PsychicPowers: Her main powers are {{Telepathy}} and {{Telekinesis}}.
* PunnyName: Jean Grey has mutant powers because she possesses the X-''gene'' and her powers also involve her ''grey'' matter.
* RedOniBlueOni: The blue to Rogue's red, being intelligent, nurturing, more levelheaded and willing to follow the rules.
* RedheadInGreen: She wears a black X-Men uniform with a bright green stripe down the front and back.
* SickeninglySweethearts: With Scott. Once they finally get together, Kurt and Kitty gleefully mock them as being this:
--> '''Kurt:''' Jean, darling, please accept this croissant as a symbol of my love!\\
'''Kitty:''' Oh, Scott, you have such a way with pastry!
* SignificantGreenEyedRedhead: Has vibrant red hair and green eyes and is the leading female character.
* SoapboxSadie: With her speeches on mutant pride and mutant/human equality, she tips into this. It was even lampshaded at one point, in which she gears herself up for a lecture: "And I for one, am very proud of the fact..." only to be yanked off-screen by Scott. In the GirlsNightOutEpisode she and the other mutant girls rail against Scott's overprotectiveness and start fighting crime as the "Bayville Sirens." She mellows out by the end of the episode (although she needed almost getting killed by some random gangsters and Cyke helping with a covert optic blast for her to get it).
* StatuesqueStunner: Is a gorgeous, 5'11 girl who stands taller than a good lot of the cast.
* StrawFeminist: This comes up during "Walk on the Wild Side" and is never really touched on again. She calls Scott out on trying to help and bitches at Duncan for buying tickets to a dance, when it's supposed to be the girl who asks the guy out, while complaining about always feeling like she's treated as the weaker sex.
* SupernaturalFloatingHair: Jean's hair sometimes floats when she uses her psychokinetic powers.
* {{Telepathy}}: Like her mentor Professor Xavier, Jean is a telepath which means that she has the ability to detect and read the thoughts of others, project her own thoughts into other's minds, form psychic links with other beings, control others' minds so as to manipulate their physical functions, mentally stun opponents with bolts of pure psionic force, cast near-flawless mental illusions, and project her mind onto the astral plane.
* {{Tsundere}}: Type B. She's the sweetest CoolBigSis, unless Duncan or Scott (or both) are around.
* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: When Mystique strands Scott in Mexico without his glasses, Jean's rescue is something to behold.

[[folder:Nightcrawler]]
[[quoteright:320:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/nightcrawler_3321.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:320:''"Chicks dig the fuzzy dude!"'']]

-->'''Codename:''' [[Characters/MarvelComicsNightcrawler Nightcrawler]]
-->'''Real Name:''' Kurt Wagner
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/BradSwaile [[labelnote:Foreign [=VAs=]]]Aurélien Ringelheim (FR)[[/labelnote]]

Nightcrawler is a blue, furry mutant whose power is the ability to teleport. He uses a [[{{Glamour}} holographic image inducer]] in public to appear as a normal teenage boy. Nightcrawler is the [[LukeIAmYourFather biological son of Mystique]], who [[ParentalAbandonment dropped/abandoned him]] a long time ago. They don't get along.

In contrast to his demonic appearance, Kurt is kind, fun loving, and a loyal friend. But there also is a sense of sadness about him as he longs to be accepted by the world outside despite his appearance.
----
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: Unlike the comics, he's given a more elfish appearance than outright demonic.
* AdaptationPersonalityChange: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. This version is not a devout Catholic and the TokenReligiousTeammate, but remains otherwise one of the nicest and most compassionate members of the X-Men.
* AgeLift: Unlike the rest of his peers in the series, Kurt was already an adult (like Ororo and Logan) when he joined the X-Men in the comics.
* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Blue, just like his mother Mystique, though in his case it's due to his fur.
* ArchEnemy: Has a rivalry with Toad from the Brotherhood, which was established as early as the first episode. Their antagonism would grow worse as the series progressed due to Toad attempting to sabotage Kurt's date by stealing his holographic image inducer.
* AttractiveBentGender: The female version of his human self in "Adrift" is very pleasing to the eyes.
* BadassAdorable: Pretty cute for a demonic mutant. Just don't let your guard down around the fuzzy dude.
* BeastAndBeauty: He becomes the boyfriend of pretty-girl Amanda Sefton.
* BeautifulDreamer: Strangely subverted. Nightcrawler would look cute as he's sleeping... if only he didn't accidentally teleport every time he sneezes due to a bad cold. Taking Kitty with him.
* BerserkButton:
** ''Don't'' pull his tail.
** Also don't steal his Image Inducer. He completely ''flips out'' when Toad does it.
* BigEater: Apparently the price of 'porting is an insatiable appetite.
* ChickMagnet: He has had multiple ShipTease moments with Kitty, Tabitha, and Amanda despite his demonic visage. Like the above quote says, chicks dig the fuzzy dude!
* ClassClown: Kurt has a playful and teasing nature as he loves to joke around and have fun. He sometimes uses this to cover up his self-esteem issues.
* CuteLittleFangs: The pointy teeth helps accentuate his demon-esque elf theme.
* CuteMonsterGirl: A male version of this trope. In this version, Kurt is an elfin [[PrettyBoy cutie]] with blue fur, a tail, [[PointyEars pointed ears]] and [[CuteLittleFangs fangs]].
* TheCutie: Despite his appearance, Kurt's compassion and idealism and fun-loving nature make him one of the most adorable X-Men.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Don't be fooled by his demonic appearance, he's one of the sweetest guys around.
* ExtradimensionalShortcut: His teleportation abilities involve him slipping into another dimension, travelling very quickly through it then popping out elsewhere.
* FourFingeredHands: He has three-fingered hands and feet in his original, demon form. Whenever he's in his human disguise, his fingers stick together in a Vulcan-salute formation.
* FreakinessShame: While Kurt is ashamed of his appearance, he soon seems to become more relaxed about it around other mutants. He's still afraid of letting normal people see his true face, constantly wearing a device that projects a hologram around him to make him look like a normal person in public, but this trope is invoked when Amanda Sefton convinces him to turn off his image inducer as she likes his real self.
* FreakyIsCool: Kurt's girlfriend [[FanOfUnderDog Amanda]] isn't bothered at all by his true appearance.
* FunPersonified: He ''loves'' to party.
* GlamourFailure: Kurt's image inducer. Given that it really only needs the settings "off" and "on", was there really the need to give it so many options and make the off button so incredibly easy to press by accident? As the image inducer only makes him LOOK human, anyone who touches him can still feel his fur or bump against his tail. There is also his permanent Vulcan salute.
* GratuitousGerman: Kurt originally comes from Germany and since he's one of the main characters, this longtime trait is a given trope for his character. There are a few times when he slips German into his sentences, but he stops this early in the first season.
* HairColorDissonance: The only one with blue hair. Similarly to Wolverine, they are in-universe black.
* HandyFeet: His feet are shaped very much like his hands and are just as dexterous as shown when he was piloting the X-Jet with just his feet.
* HappilyAdopted: Played with, as Kurt loves his adoptive parents dearly and wouldn't trade them for the world, but as time goes on he shows a little too much interest in his birth parent and his origin. However, at the end he's shown to be unwilling to establish any kind of relationship with Mystique.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: Quickly befriends Scott in the first episode and develops a sibling-like relationship with him.
* HideYourOtherness: In order for him to attend Bayville High, Kurt uses an image inducer to go out in public looking like a normal dark-haired, light-skinned teenage boy.
* {{Hologram}}: Kurt's normal Bayville High appearance is nothing more than a hologram. [[spoiler:[[DeconstructedTrope Deconstructed]] at the beginning of Season 3 when it turns out that Kurt is the only Xavier Institute student with his cover still intact thanks to his hologram inducer.]]
* InSeriesNickname: Fuzzy Blue Elf.
* InTheHood: In the first episode, he wears a trenchcoat with a hood to hide his demonic appearance.
* NiceGuy: One of the nicest members of the cast, to the point Kurt's only negative trait seems to be that he loves partying a bit too much.
* PlatonicLifePartners: Grows very close to Kitty following the events of "Grim Reminder", but never shows any romantic attraction towards her for the entirety of the show's run.
%%* PluckyComicRelief
* PointyEars: Much like his comic book counterpart, he has elfish ears as part of his physical mutation.
* PoirotSpeak: Kurt frequently uses German words and phrases in his speech.
* PrehensileTail: His tail is strong enough to not only support his body weight but also lift an adult man completely off the ground.
* PrettyBoy: Kurt is very attractive with or without his disguise, although he falls more on the "cute" side. With his elfin features, they reflect his [[TheCutie adorable personality]], and the impression Nightcrawler leaves on viewers is that he's a cute blue elf rather than a freaky blue demon.
* RedIsHeroic: Like his comic counterpart, Kurt's outfit includes a significant amount of red.
* RedRightHand: A limitation of his image inducer. If you pay close attention, you can see that his index and middle fingers, plus his pinky and ring fingers, are practically glued together whenever he moves them. This is because the hologram is hiding the fact that he only has three fingers per hand.
* RunningOnAllFours: On occasion. He usually does this when he's in an urgent situation.
* SadClown: Sometimes, not nearly as often as the fandom would have you think. He gets his fair share of angst, but by the next episode he'll be back to making jokes and acting happily.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: Due to the blue skin and opaque white eyes, it's pretty obvious that Mystique is his mother.
* SupernaturalGoldEyes: He inherited them from his mother.
* TeleFrag: When Scarlet Witch messes up his powers and causes him to teleport into a sign. The sign is pushed apart by Nightcrawler appearing in the middle of it. What would happen if it had been a person is left to the imagination.
* TeleporterAccident: Forge tries to extend the range of Nightcrawler's teleportation, and ends up creating rifts to the hell-like dimension Nightcrawler uses to move from place to place. Needless to say, the inhabitants get out.
* TeleportationWithDrawbacks: Nightcrawler's powers aren't especially elaborated on, though at one point he explains to Kitty he can't teleport them off an airplane due to being way too high up and moving too fast. Objects will also break apart if he teleports into them, so one can only wonder what would happen if he teleported into a person. Messing with his teleporting can also allow a hellish dimension to leak through.
* UnrelatedInTheAdaptation: In the comics, Amanda is Kurt's adopted sister [[NotBloodSiblings whom he dates]]; here they keep the romance but cut out the sibling angle.
* WallCrawling: He can stick to walls. He's even called "Wall Crawler" at one point.

[[quoteright:320:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rogue_2212.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:320:''"Me and Miss Popularity there are worlds apart, galaxies, but then I realized something. She would do the same thing for me."''[[note]] regarding Jean [[/note]]]]

-->'''Codename:''' [[Characters/MarvelComicsRogue Rogue]]\\
'''Real Name:''' Unknown\\
'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MeghanBlack [[labelnote:Foreign [=VAs=]]]Alexandra Corréa (FR)[[/labelnote]]

Rogue is a mysterious mutant who absorbs the memories and abilities of others through touch. Due to her powers, Rogue has become [[BrokenBird withdrawn, bitter, anti-social, and sullen]]. Only after learning to trust the other X-Men, does she begin to open up. Rogue is Mystique's adopted daughter, but turns her back on Mystique after learning that she was only using her and joins the X-Men. She develops a massive crush on Cyclops, but later accepts that Scott loves Jean and not her.
----
* ActionGirl: She has mutant powers and she does use them occasionally but relies more on her [[FightsLikeANormal combat skills]] to fight enemies.
* AdaptationPersonalityChange: Rogue of the comics and other adaptations is more of a SouthernBelle. The cartoon presents her as an awkward, [[DeadpanSnarker sarcastic]] {{goth}} who happens to be from the South.
* AdaptationalDyeJob: Her eyes are generally green in the comics, but they're portrayed as grey in the show.
* AdaptationalWimp: She lacks her comic book self's super strength and flight[[note]] Those were absorbed from a heroine who doesn't appear to exist in this continuity. [[/note]]; and although the powers and memories she absorbs from her victims are permanent, she is unable to voluntarily tap into them for more than a few minutes after absorption, and they begin to overwhelm and drive her insane with time.
* AllLoveIsUnrequited:
** Her love for Cyclops can never be returned; although series writer Frank Puar says that [[spoiler:though Rogue lost to Jean during their teen years, the small glimpse of the future team from the series finale showed subtle hints that after Jean's disastrous contact with the Phoenix Force and subsequent death, Rogue would finally be able to confess her feelings for Scott and they would become a couple]].
** Cody, the star football player from her hometown in her debut episode, had been staring at her for a week before being brave enough to ask her for a dance, but is accidentally put into a coma due to her latent mutation.
* AllYourPowersCombined: In "Self Possessed", the personalities she had absorbed in previous episodes begin to surface and overwhelm her mind, allowing her to use all their powers at the same time. Though Xavier erases these abilities by the end of the episode, [[spoiler:Rogue would reclaim them on top with a few others in "Dark Horizon"]].
* AntiVillain: Starts out as a member of the Brotherhood, due to feeling isolated because of her uncontrollable power.
* BadassAdorable: Is a very shy and pretty girl with superpowers.
* BadassBiker: She commandeers Logan's motorcycle for them to escape military capture, and proves plenty skilled with it.
* BadassLongcoat: She wears a [[http://static2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120817060909/xmenevo/images/c/c4/Profile-_rogue_coat.png brown coat]] every now and then.
* BeautyBrainsAndBrawn: The Brawn to Kitty's Beauty and Jean's Brains. She's the most aggressive, with a rebellious attitude and a TouchOfDeath power by skin contact that works wonders in a fist fight.
* BlessedWithSuck: Zigzagged.
** Her mutation means she can never touch anyone without injuring or knocking them out, but it also makes Rogue a force to be reckoned when she joins a fight. She is often shown using her power to knock out one opponent, and then proceeding to use the stolen power to take care of the rest of her enemies. Or if one of her friends is knocked out anyway, she takes their powers as an extra boost to the group's fighting strength. She definitely uses her power much more liberally not to mention more effectively than in other media portrayals.
** "Self Possessed" reveals that her mutation ''permanently'' stores the powers and memories from the people she touches. However, she cannot voluntarily tap into them, and they begin to overwhelm her original personality, driving her to the brink of insanity. It takes Xavier's intervention to prevent the other personalities from taking over her body.
* BrokenBird: Rogue was purposefully raised as an [[{{Goth}} outsider]] by Mystique and Destiny to manipulate her into becoming Mystique's tool, [[BlessedWithsuck cannot touch anyone without draining them due to her mutant ability]], and to top it all off suffers from a bad case of [[LoveHurts unrequited love]] for Scott and consequentially is bitterly jealous of Scott's official {{Love Interest|s}} Jean.
* ClothingDamage: Somewhat justified. In the Season 3 two-parter finale, Rogue is hit head-on by a massive fire blast from Pyro. Having just absorbed Colossus' metal skin power, she comes out of it unharmed. Her clothes, however, are burned off except for the obvious necessary bits and some extra scraps.
* ConflictingLoyalty: In the earlier parts of the first season, Rogue was torn between her feelings towards Scott and the X-Men, and her loyalty to her superior Mystique and the Brotherhood. She ends up officially joining the X-Men when she learns that Mystique has been manipulating her from the start and that her feelings of mistrust for the X-Men were misplaced.
* ConspicuousGloves: Rogue wears gloves so as not to accidentally touch anyone, [[PoisonousPerson since touching her skin causes her to absorb others' memories and physical abilities, often harming or potentially killing them]].
* CuteBruiser: Is a very cute, shy and pretty girl who likes being tough.
* CoolBigSis: Kurt comes to see her as this once they find out she is his adoptive sister. She seems to reciprocate the feelings by the series' end, as they walk away together after rejecting Mystique.
* DeadpanSnarker: As a rather moody character, she's quick to throw some sarcasm out every now and then.
* DistractedByTheSexy: She's so taken with Gambit when she first meets him that she doesn't realize he's given her a card that's about to explode.
* EnergyAbsorption: If her skin touches anyone else's then she'll absorb energy as well as their memories and abilities. The longer she holds on, the more she absorbs.
* FightsLikeANormal: Due to the nature of her power, most Danger Room scenes have her instead use basic training and martial arts to deal with the robotic threats and use her powers sporadically. Shown off in ''Cajun Spice'', where she uses her power for mind reading only and mostly takes out the Rippers with just outmatching them in fighting skills.
* {{Goth}}: A huge departure from her SouthernBelle comic persona. And it proved to be quite popular. Some Comic writers (notably Grant Morrison) wanted to CanonImmigrant this, but never got the chance to. Instead it appears X-23 has absorbed this trait when adapted into the Comics.
* GreenEyedMonster: Rogue shows some jealousy toward Jean, possibly due to her [[PowerIncontinence own power's drawback]] and Jean seeming to be perfect in every way. This becomes clear in season two's ''Power Surge'' where Jean can telepathically hear Rogue snark on her for winning an award, and later for believing Professor Xavier gives Jean preferential treatment. Knowing that Scott, who she has a crush on, really loves Jean doesn't help either. At the end, she acknowledges that for all their differences, Jean does care for her.
* HeelFaceTurn: She initially joined the Brotherhood of Mutants, but left to join the X-Men after finding out that they recruited her to be a potential weapon.
* HopelessSuitor: For Scott since he only has eyes for Jean.
* IdentityBreakdown: In the episode "Self Possessed," Rogue's powers are revealed to not only take the abilities of others, but permanently store them inside of her. The personalities of all the people she's absorbed abilities from begin to overwhelm her and threaten a SplitPersonalityTakeover, which [[DrivenToMadness drives her to the brink of madness]] as she struggles to maintain her sense of self. Xavier has to intervene, erasing the personalities from her mind, in order to save her.
* KissOfDeath: She did this to Gambit in "Dark Horizon" to absorb his powers, though it only knocks him out.
* LightFeminineAndDarkFeminine: The dark to Jean and Kitty's light. Rogue is a snarky, brooding gothic loner whereas Jean and Kitty are both bright and friendly long-haired extroverts.
%%* MisunderstoodLonerWithAHeartOfGold
* MostCommonSuperpower: As expected from [[MsFanservice Rogue]]. While not to the levels seen in the comics, she is realistically proportioned but still more ample than the other X-Men.
* MundaneUtility: She once used her power so she could dance like Kitty.
* MsFanservice: Despite her appearance, Rogue is very cute, hot and beautiful.
* NiceGirl: She is very kind, protective, caring, brave and loving inside, despite the sarcasm and broken heart.
* NoNameGiven: She's referred to as 'a rogue' by Xavier in her origin episode, then she expresses a lack of memory. Since then, her name was never revealed in the show, and she was only referred to as Rogue. Many have taken to calling her Anna Marie, her current comic name, but it's more of a fanon thing right now.
* OddFriendship: With Kitty. The girls have nothing in common, and earlier episodes showed them as not being able to stand each other, though later on the two quickly grow to become close friends.
* OneManArmy: In "Dark Horizon", Rogue [[spoiler:ambushes and defeats ''the entire cast'' while under Mesmero's control]].
* OnlyOneName: Just Rogue. One wonders how that worked at school.
* OutOfTheInferno: When Rogue is brainwashed by Mesmero to steal the powers of dozens of mutants, she targets Magneto's crew. After taking out most of them, Pyro blasts her. She walks out of the fire with some ClothingDamage and Colossus' metal skin power active.
* PersonalityPowers: She's a gloomy, withdrawn goth with an uncontrollable death touch.
* PromotedToLoveInterest: Her comics' counterpart never had romantic feelings for Scott.
* RedOniBlueOni: The red to Jean's blue, with Rogue being cynical, tough, impulsive and willing to break the rules.
* RedheadInGreen: Rogue has auburn hair but she still qualifies. In one of her civvies outfits, she wears a green mesh top over her black halter. And her X-Men battle uniform has a green armor platelet that goes over her chest area.
* TheResenter: A little bit, for Jean. During the first episode of season 2, Jean catches Rogue getting chided by the Professor, with Rogue thinking to herself the Professor would never treat Jean the same way.
* ShapeshifterIdentityCrisis: When her powers become unstable all the personalities she's ever absorbed begin to surface and with Mystique's powers she takes the form of whatever person she has previously been in contact with.
* ShipTease: Beside her crush on Scott, in the later seasons she had one full episode of blatant teases with Gambit, plus scattered moments in other episodes. Though according to the character designer and occasional director of the series, they kept this to a minimum because a lot of the writing team shipped Scott and Rogue.
* SixthRanger: She became the last member to join the original team before the recruits appeared.
* StereotypeFlip: Her gothic-influenced fashion sense runs pretty contrary to most stereotypes about people from the American South (particularly the Deep South, where she's from).
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: [[spoiler:She was the unwitting accomplice that helped Mystique release Wanda from the mental institution and recruit her into the Brotherhood, because she briefly toured Risty/Mystique around the Institute in "Power Surge," familiarizing her with Cerebro. When Risty returned there accompanied by Arcade in "Fun and Games," she gathered data on Charles' sessions with Wanda as revealed in "The [=HeX=] Factor."]]
* WakeupMakeup: Rogue is never seen without her makeup. Even when Avalanche pushed her into a pool, or when she ''just'' steps out of the shower, her make-up is completely intact. Though there is one episode in season 4, "Cajun Spice," where Rogue falls into a lake and comes out makeup-free.
* WhenSheSmiles: She doesn't smile a lot, but when she does, it's a very beautiful and heartwarming thing.
* WorkoutFanservice: Gets in a couple of [[MaleGaze very well animated]] athletic training scenes in a lowcut sports bra and tight leggings.

[[quoteright:320:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kitty_3176.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:320:''"I don't have any gifts, just a curse."'']]

-->'''Codename:''' Shadowcat
-->'''Real Name:''' [[Characters/MarvelComicsKittyPryde Katherine 'Kitty' Pryde]]
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MaggieBlueOHara [[labelnote:Foreign [=VAs=]]]Géraldine Frippiat (FR)[[/labelnote]]

A mutant from Northbrook, Illinois whose ability allows her to become intangible. Shadowcat is the youngest member of the team and is characterized by [[ThePollyanna her upbeat nature and cheerfulness]]. She usually pals around with Nightcrawler since they are about the same age. Her on-again off-again romance with Avalanche was a sub-plot that continued through all four seasons. She first develops a crush on him while still in school, but it turned out he was only using her to steal test answers. Later, even though they are on opposite teams, Lance saves her life and her opinion of him changes. They date for a while, but their differences break them up, before ultimately reigniting their romantic relationship after the fight against Apocalypse.
----
* ActionGirl: She gets to join in on the action frequently as one of the team's core members.
* AdaptationalDyeJob: Her eyes are generally portrayed as brown/hazel in the comics, but here they're a [[InnocentBlueEyes light blue]].
* AffectionateNickname:
** "Kitty" is a nickname to begin with. (Her real first name is Katherine.)
** Avalanche calls her "Pretty Kitty" and "Kit-Kat", alternatively.
** Wolverine calls her "Half-Pint".
** Spyke calls her "K-Girl".
* AgeLift:
** Slightly. In the comics, she was in middle school when she first got her powers. Here, she's in high school.
** Unlike the comics, Kitty is the same age as Scott, Jean, Kurt, etc. This means she's more of a peer to the other X-Men, not a TagAlongKid.
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Subverted in that Kitty was attracted to the ''good'' person inside of Lance, and wasn't super thrilled when he acted like an asshole. Although to a 15-year-old girl being pursued by an older and handsome bad boy wasn't exactly a turn-off.
* BadassAdorable: Cute, sweet, and naïve, and she can whoop ass along with the rest of the X-Men.
* BeautyBrainsAndBrawn: The Beauty to Jean's Brains and Rogue's Brawn. She's a cute ValleyGirl and the most feminine of the X-Men girls.
* BrainyBrunette: Kitty has long, brown hair, most often tied back in a high ponytail. She's shown to be well versed with the mansion's computer system, and was stated to be a straight A student with taking senior-class courses like trigonometry and astrophysics. So its more that she just acts a [[DitzyGenius little ditzy]].
* CuteClumsyGirl: The only class she doesn't ace is gym.
* DatingCatwoman: She briefly dates Avalanche in the second season, but they both realize the relationship is not going to work as long as they are in opposing teams. Their interactions in the final episode imply they still have feelings for each other.
* DitzyGenius: Although she speaks like a ValleyGirl, she's quite smart. In her first episode, the GirlPosse claim she's acing all of her classes except PE. In another episode she and Evan figure out how Forge's machine works simply by examining it. And she also demonstrates knowledge of how to short out a helicopter's weapon system without knocking down the craft.
* DrivesLikeCrazy: Her driving even scares Wolverine, due to her habit of phasing the car through obstacles. Scott was so scared that he stated he never wanted to ride a vehicle again.
* GirlsLoveStuffedAnimals: She's seen cuddling/sleeping with a stuffed, purple dragon, which is a reference to Lockheed, Kitty's pet dragon from the comics.
* GirlyBruiser: Has a ValleyGirl personality but capable of kicking just as much ass as her teammates.
* HugeGuyTinyGirl: With Lance.
* IJustWantToBeNormal: At first. But she gets over it after a few episodes.
* InformedJudaism: The only evidence that she's Jewish is a scene of her lighting the menorah in her home in the ChristmasEpisode.
* InnocentBlueEyes: Kitty has huge light blue eyes and she has a [[ThePollyanna sweet and optimistic personality.]]
* {{Intangibility}}: She can phase through solid objects and even people. Amusingly in one episode she phases through Beast while brushing her teeth...and accidentally leaves the toothbrush inside him.
* LethalChef: Oh, yes. She gains this reputation after she uses Kurt as a guinea pig for her muffins. After a couple of batches, he bolts whenever she asks him to taste her cooking.
* LettingHerHairDown: Shadowcat undoes her trademark ponytail once she starts fighting crime as a Bayville Siren in episode "Walk On The Wild Side".
* LightFeminineAndDarkFeminine: Along with Jean, both are the light to Rogue's dark. Kitty is a sweet, bubbly, pink-wearing girl whereas Rogue is a snarky, brooding gothic loner who has a much shorter hairstyle than the former two.
* LikeIsLikeAComma: Like, she tends to talk this way. Occasionally it gets to the point where her teammates can barely even understand her.
* MoralityPet: From season two on, definitely Lance's. While his antagonism towards the X-Men, especially Scott, remains intact, Kitty is the only member he has a soft spot for, even going as far as to briefly join the X-Men just to be closer to her. She also inspires most of his heroic feats, including how she convinces him to join the battle against Apocalypse during the finale.
* MsFanservice: A modest example, but she spends an episode or two clad in nothing but a swimsuit, so it's there in a "girl next door" kind of way.
* NaiveNewcomer: She definitely feels like a fish out of water when she first joins the X-Men, being particularly weirded out by Kurt's appearance at first.
* NotQuiteFlight: Kitty has been shown (at least once) being able to float/walk on air using her phasing power. She can also phase upward through ceilings, which has about the same effect as levitation.
* OddFriendship: With Rogue. Once the latter joins the team, the two of them can often be seen hanging out together in spite of their very different personalities. They even go on a mission together in "The Stuff of Villains."
* OfficialCouple: [[spoiler:She gets back together with Lance in the last episode]].
* OppositesAttract: She's a sweet, naive uptown Valley girl who hooks up with the grungy, hot-headed and rebellious loner Lance. Also, they are on opposing teams; Kitty's part of the heroic X-Men whereas Lance is the field leader of the villainous Brotherhood.
* PinkIsFeminine: She wears a pink sweater cardigan with her main outfit, her pajamas are pink, and she has a pink one-piece swimsuit. And she's definitely girly too.
%%* PlatonicLifePartners: With Kurt.
* PluckyGirl: Although she's initially nervous with being on the X-Men, she demonstrates a lot of bravery and determination when the occasion calls for it and in later seasons.
* PuppyDogEyes: To the extent that Wolverine once snaps at her: "And don't give me them puppy-dog eyes, Half-Pint!"
* ShipTease: Occasionally with Evan. She's notably more affectionate to him than the other X-kids.
%%* TheSmartGuy: She can be a brainiac [[DitzyGenius sometimes...]]
* StuffedIntoALocker: This happens to her in her debut episode, mostly as an excuse for Kitty to discover her ability to phase past solid objects. So naturally, this causes her to bump into Avalanche to kick off the plot.
* TeenGenius: A straight-A student (although her intelligence was somewhat downplayed compared to other versions of Shadowcat).
* UnexplainedAccent: Talks like a stereotypical Southern California ValleyGirl, despite ostensibly being from Illinois.
* ValleyGirl: Unlike her comic book counterpart. However, she stopped, like totally, after the first season. For sure.
* WalkingTechbane: Like her comics counterpart, her powers can often cause machinery to malfunction if she phases through them.

[[caption-width-right:320:''"We're definitely gonna need more instructors. An' maybe a couple of tanks."'']]

-->'''Codename:''' [[Characters/MarvelComicsLogan Wolverine]]
-->'''Real Name:''' Unknown, goes by Logan
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ScottMcNeil [[labelnote:Foreign [=VAs=]]]Robert Dubois (FR)[[/labelnote]]

The X-Men's top fighter and chief drill instructor to the students. His keen senses help him track down adversaries and alert him of danger ahead. His healing powers make him nearly impossible to defeat in a brawl. Adamantium claws are capable of shredding enemies and just about any inanimate object as well. His past is a mystery to everyone, including himself. It is a rather lengthy past as well because his healing factor has drastically slowed the aging of his body. He was already an adult by World War II. Unlike in other X-Men series, Wolverine plays a supporting role in ''X-Men: Evolution'' and is more of a PapaWolf than carousing badass.
----
* ADayInTheLimelight: A few, particularly "Grim Reminder" in season 1 (which focuses on his backstory), "Operation: Rebirth" (which includes his time fighting alongside Captain America in World War 2), and "X23" (which introduces his eponymous clone).
* AdaptationalNiceGuy:
** Due to the series' [[AgeLift changes to certain character's ages]], he never falls in love with teenage Jean Grey, and therefore never has the heated rivalry with Cyclops that is the cause for much of his {{Jerkass}} behavior in the comics (though the two did briefly have a leadership struggle).
** Also, while he always was fond of young mutant daughter figures, it would take the comic version decades of CharacterDevelopment for him to be anywhere close to willing to play father figure with Storm and Xavier for an entire group of mutant children before any school for gifted youngsters or superhero team was properly established. Here, he's one the school's founding members alongside Xavier, Storm, and Beast.
* AnimeHair: It actually ''bends backwards and up.''
* ArchEnemy: With Sabretooth.
* BadassBiker: Logan owns two motorcycles and is often seen driving them. And just watch the beginning sequence of "Operation: Rebirth" where Wolverine being chased by the military in the woods on his motorcycle. Talk about badass!
* BadassTeacher: He's the students' chief drill instructor, and he kicks a lot of ass.
* BashBrothers: With Captain America back in WWII, who he promises to one day find a cure for his recovery.
* BerserkButton: If anyone refers him as "Weapon X", it ''really'' gets under Logan's skin.
* BruiserWithASoftCenter: He gradually warms up to Kitty and Kurt nicknaming them "Half-pint" and "Elf" respectively.
* CompositeCharacter: He has Cyclops' usual role from the comics and other animated adaptations of being the first X-Man and Xavier's right-hand man.
* CoolOldGuy: The guy was around helping Captain America in WWII.
* DeadpanSnarker: To the students.
* DefusingTheTykeBomb: Whenever the students are having issues with themselves or their powers, he's there to help make sense of it since he's been there himself. Most notably to Rogue.
%%* {{Determinator}}
* DrillSergeantNasty: Can be at times; see TrainingFromHell below.
* HairColorDissonance: Technically, his hair is supposed to be black, but with the way the animation is, it looks more dark blue than black.
* HairTriggerTemper: Downplayed. Despite his temper and violent attributions, he does try to control them.
* HealingFactor: Due to the nature of most children's shows, this can't be shown that effectively. But it's better shown here when Wolverine's shown to have broken his legs from a helicopter jump, and later on in Season 4 when he falls out of a plane.
%%* HellbentForLeather
%%* HotBloodedSideburns
* IWorkAlone: Downplayed. Although he prefers to be alone, he does enjoy the company of those he likes.
* IntergenerationalFriendship: With Kitty and Rogue.
* MysteriousPast: Some episodes go into his past... a little.
* TheNicknamer: "Chuck" for Professor X, "Red" for Jean, "Elf" for Nightcrawler, and "Half-Pint" for Kitty.
* TheNoseKnows: His tracking mutant ability.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Thanks to his self-regeneration power, Logan's true age will never be revealed but it's shown he was at least old enough to have served in the military along with Cap, which he did in this cartoon. Magneto was a kid back then.
* OppositeSexClone: X-23
* PapaWolf: Hurt any of his X-Men at your own risk. Especially Kitty, Rogue, and X-23.
* ParentalSubstitute: To X-23. Even though she's basically his OppositeSexClone, he treats her like he would with his own daughter.
* RetCanon: During the final two seasons, this Wolverine adopted the second costume of his counterpart in ''ComicBook/UltimateXMen'', which started concurrently with ''Evolution'' (both series starting in 2000).
* ScreamingWarrior: Logan can be counted on to be yelling or roaring in battle when taking down foes.
* ShipperOnDeck: Rather amusingly, he serves as one for Scott and Jean here. When Scott is wondering about communicating his feelings to Jean and decides to ask Logan of all people for girl advice, Logan tells him that if he won't tell her his feelings Logan will. At the end when they hook up, Logan merely says, "About time".
* SuperSenses: Wolverine's senses are so high-tuned he can recognize and track people by individual scents -- this ability also allows him to see through shape-shifter disguises.
* TeamMemberInTheAdaptation: Inverted. as despite a notable things about the Logan of the comics (including how he got the adamantium regrafted onto his skeleton after Magnetl ripped the metal out in ''ComicBook/{{Fatal Attraction|MarvelComics}}''), he's never made one on the show.
* TrainingFromHell: This trope gets first {{deconstructed|Trope}}, and then ''{{reconstruct|ion}}ed'' - in the first X-23 episode, it's established that he can be pretty harsh with training the younger X-Men-to-be, to the point that Rogue wouldn't admit she'd gotten better (after the last episode's events) to avoid it. After his experience with the aforementioned {{Tykebomb}}, he loosens up because "Sometimes you gotta let kids just be kids". He realizes that pushing teenagers too far in training is detrimental, and he eases up by the end. Contains hilarity in that Rogue of all people was pretending to still be sick in an effort to evade his training session.
* TrueCompanions: In their first scene together you can tell just how much he and Charles trust each other, and through the whole series they remain good confidants to each other.
* UndyingLoyalty: To Charles and his school.
* WolverineClaws: [[TropeNamers Obviously]]. His claws along with the rest of the bones in his body were bonded with an unbreakable metal known as adamantium as part of the Weapon X program.
* TheWorfEffect: Need to make The Juggernaut look like a huge threat? Have him kick Wolverine's ass.

[[caption-width-right:320:''"I'm a weather-witch, not a snow plow. I'm doing the best I can."'']]

-->'''Codename:''' [[Characters/MarvelComicsStorm Storm]]
-->'''Real Name:''' Ororo Munroe
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KirstenWilliamson [[labelnote:Foreign [=VAs=]]]Francine Laffineuse (FR)[[/labelnote]]

One of Professor Xavier's top teachers, Storm is seen as a role model by the students. She is also one of the most powerful mutants alive due to her ability to manipulate the weather. One of her few weaknesses is her claustrophobia which was explored in her one spotlight episode ''African Storm''.
----
* ActionGirl: Due to being an adult in contrast to the rest of the teenagers, she's quite powerful.
* AdaptationalModesty: She doesn't have her usual LeotardOfPower from the comics - instead she wears a modest bodysuit.
* AffectionateNickname: Her nephew Evan calls her "Auntie O".
* BadassCape: She wears a nice dark blue cape as a part of her costume.
* BadassTeacher: She's not shown teaching that much, but she's suitably badass.
* BlowYouAway: She can manipulate the winds to great effect.
* BoltOfDivineRetribution: Storm isn't an actual goddess, but her mutant power gives her the ability to smite enemies with massive bolts of lightning from the sky if she's sufficiently mad.
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: First when Hungan captures her will into his scepter, giving him the ability to control her body, using her powers to attack the X-Men. [[spoiler:Later she becomes one of Apocalypse's Horsemen.]]
* BrightnessShadows: Storm's lightning attacks create darker shadows upon striking people, as does Rogue's version [[spoiler:when she's copying her powers during their fight]].
* CaringGardener: She uses her weather manipulating powers to water the plants in the mansion's greenhouse in her spare time.
* {{Claustrophobia}}: As in the comics, she's got a great fear of confined spaces. One Danger Room simulation had her trapped in a tight box and she freaked out.
* CombatStilettos: She has these on in both of her series and post-series costumes, but they're a non-issue for her since she's often seen floating or flying.
* CoolAunt: To Evan. He outright calls her this in his video project.
* ADayInTheLimelight: Her spotlight episode, "African Storm".
* DemotedToExtra: Despite always having been a major player in the X-Men franchise, she receives very little focus in this series and only has one episode centered around her during the entire run of the show.
* ElementalPowers: She has complete control over the weather, which gives her the ability to whip up [[ShockandAwe lightning]], [[BlowYouAway wind]], [[MakingASplash rain]] and [[AnIcePerson ice storms]] in combat. Hence her codename Storm.
* EmotionalPowers: Ororo's powers have always been closely linked with her emotions. As such she has had to teach herself a large degree of self control. Containing her emotions isn't always easy though and when she fails, the results can be quite dramatic.
* FisherKing: The weather changes according to her mood.
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: Whenever she is using her powers.
* GodGuise: She was worshiped as a goddess in Africa due to her ability to summon the rains.
* AnIcePerson: Comes with her control of the weather which includes blizzards and hailstorms.
* ImpossibleHourglassFigure: WordOfGod from the guy who designed the characters, Storm has very long shapely legs and curvy hips.
* InconsistentColoring: Ororo's eyes can be seen as changing from blue to purple depending on the episode.
* LadyOfBlackMagic: Her mutant powers give her control over the elements, and she's a PhysicalGoddess with a regal manner.
* MakingASplash: Can produce rain, of course.
* MamaBear: It's best not to mess with the younger X-Men. And more specifically with her nephew Spyke.
* MarkOfTheBeast: [[spoiler:She receives blue markings similar to those of Apocalypse when he "recruits" her as one of his horsemen]].
* MonochromaticEyes: She has normal blue eyes until she uses her powers, causing them to glow white.
* MundaneUtility: She frequently use her weather powers to generate small rains to water her plants or fill up a water fountain.
* MysticalWhiteHair: Courtesy of her mutant powers.
* NotQuiteFlight: She can fly by using her powers to manipulate the winds surrounding her.
* OccultBlueEyes: She has blue eyes, which is extremely rare among non-Europeans.
* PhysicalGoddess: Was worshipped as one by her tribe.
* ShockAndAwe: Her most famous power; creating lightning either from the clouds or her hands.
* StatuesqueStunner: As per usual, Storm is a towering beauty!
* TeamMom: And aunt to Spyke.
* TeamMemberInTheAdaptation: [[spoiler:Unlike the comics, where she was no ties to the Horsemen, Apocalypse forcibly conscripts her to be one]].
* WeatherDissonance: She tends to whip up fogs and tornadoes to suit her purposes.
* WeatherManipulation: As her codename implies, Storm's mutant abilities allow her to create storms and manipulate wind, rain and lightning. Using the wind she can fly.

-->'''Codename:''' [[Characters/MarvelComicsBeast Beast]]
-->'''Real Name:''' Hank [=McCoy=]
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MichaelKopsa [[labelnote:Foreign [=VAs=]]]Jean-Paul Dermont (FR)[[/labelnote]]

Hank [=McCoy=] was a popular teacher at Bayville High who held a dark secret. His mutation gave him a burly physique with large hands and feet and unparalleled agility, but also a feral side to his mind. After school hours, he worked on a serum he hoped would stop his primal regressions when simply reciting Shakespeare wasn't enough to keep him focused. But unfortunately his beastly side was set free by an attempt to make a better serum, turning him into a blue furred beast. He damaged the school, also threatening Principal Kelly in an uncontrollable rage. The X-Men eventually were able to locate and subdue him. Soon the rage subsided, but life would never be the same. His rampage at the school and his drastic and permanent change in physical appearance would make any public appearance too startling for a general population unaware of the mutants among them. Hank remained at the Xavier Institute as a teacher for the New Recruits. Similar to Wolverine and Storm, he is more of a bit player due to the focus being on the students.
----
* AdaptationalLateAppearance: In the comics, he was in the first issue when the X-Men as founded. Here, Hank appears after the X-Men was already formed in the second season.
* AgeLift: In the comics, he was around the same age as Scott and Jean when he first arrived at Xavier's School. Here, he's a middle-aged teacher while Scott and Jean are high school students in their late teens.
* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: The fur which covers out his body is a blue-grey color.
* BadassTeacher: He was pretty tough ''before'' mutating into his blue, furry form.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: He's a very nice person, but push him too far and you WILL regret it.
* CoolTeacher: In the eyes of the New Mutants, in stark contrast to Wolverine's SternTeacher or Jean and Scott's PoliticallyMotivatedTeacher mentality.
* CulturedBadass: Always finds ways to make sophisticated references to literature and science.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: After his mutation, his eye color matches his blue fur.
* EarlyBirdCameo: He starts off as Bayville High's chemistry and gym teacher before he officially joins the X-Men later as Beast.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: His first scene after entering the classroom in Season 2 is to ask if any of the students want to create a stink bomb, right after Lance and Kitty were talking about one. A later scene also has him kick [[JerkJock Duncan]] off the track team immediately after he rams into Scott during a dash. More importantly, when he goes to Scott, whose shades had been knocked off, he instantly but quietly tells him to keep his eyes closed as he puts the shades back on, establishing he's a SecretSecretKeeper to his mutant students episodes before we learn about his debut as Beast.
* FreakinessShame: Like with Kurt, Hank feels like a freak at times after trying to cure himself, despite he still retains his mind. Even when Xavier suggested to give him a holographic inducer, Hank doesn't want to reenter the world. He does get over it after a researcher captured Hank [=McCoy=] after mistaking him for Bigfoot. When he finds out that [=McCoy=] is intelligent, he is amazed and does his best to save him from overzealous hunters. Since then, never had much of a problem of his appearance.
%%* GeniusBruiser
* GentleGiant: Sure he ''looks'' big and scary, but he has the temperament of a teddy bear.
%%* HandyFeet
* LightningBruiser: Not only is Hank strong, but he's also incredibly fast and agile.
%%* MonsterModesty: He started off looking reasonably normal. Once he turned into a furry monster, he stripped down to underwear. This is especially odd since the character is a very educated, polite individual who would normally be the type to dress in a dignified manner.
* {{Mutants}}: Hank is both a mutant and a mutate. He was born a mutant with ape-like features and abilities. He mutated himself by ingesting a serum which made him more animal-like. It turned him into a new form with new powers. He grew blue-gray fur over his entire body, his muscles expanded, ears became larger and pointed, and his canine teeth became larger, resembling fangs. The serum further increased his superhuman agility, endurance, speed, and strength, as well as enhanced his senses.
%%* NerdGlasses
* PointyEars: When he mutated himself, Beast gained pointy ears.
%%* ProfessorGuineaPig
%%* ResistTheBeast
%%* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness
* ShapeshifterModeLock: He's stuck in the furry blue "Beast" mode and can never change back into regular human Hank because his mutation could no longer be controlled with the serum he had formulated upon first learning of his mutation.
* ShoutOutToShakespeare: Not only a practice of his, it's also how Spyke gets through to him.
* SmartPeopleWearGlasses: Hank sometimes wears reading glasses and he's a genius scientist.
* SuperStrength: Has always had some level of super strength which has increased even more when his mutation evolved.
* TeamDad: To the New Mutants.
* TechnoWizard: He is an expert in electronics.
%%* TVGenius
* UnderwearOfPower: His X-Men costume whenever he's on missions is just underwear covering his crotch and buttocks.

* AdaptationalNationality: Xavier was American in the comics, but here he speaks with a British accent. This seems inspired by [[Film/XMen1 the movie]] released few years prior to the series, where Xavier is portrayed by British actor Creator/PatrickStewart.
* BadassTeacher: ''Professor'' Charles Xavier has a doctorate in genetics and is the most powerful telepath in the world.
* BigGood: He is the wise leader of the X-Men, principal of the Xavier Institute for Gifted Youngsters, and his mission is to create a world where mutants and {{Muggles}} to co-exist peacefully.
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: In the final season, [[spoiler:he's captured by Apocalypse and turned into one of his Horsemen]].
* ChromeDomePsi: He's bald and a telepath.
* ComicBookFantasyCasting: As with every version of Xavier since the first ''Film/XMen1'', he sounds a lot like Creator/PatrickStewart, though this version sounds like a fusion of Stewart and Creator/SeanConnery.

* FriendlyEnemy: How Xavier sees Magneto, although their friendship is not ''as'' emphasized as in other portrayals.
* GadgeteerGenius: He's responsible for the creation of technological achievements such as the mutant-tracking computer Cerebro, the Danger Room, Nightcrawler's holowatch and the Juggernaut's holding cell.
* GeniusCripple: Paraplegic and not just smart, but also his mutation gives him one of the most powerful minds in the world.

* MindOverManners: He often prefers to "ask" before he reads your mind.
* NonActionGuy: Justified since he's wheelchair-bound. Not that it impedes his telepathic powers. He ''could'' perform MindRape and the like, making him a destructive force, if he wasn't so moral.
* NotSoAboveItAll: Despite being generally concerned for the larger picture and being a stern but fair father figure they can all trust, it doesn't stop him from reprogramming Nightcrawler's image inducer to make him look like a girl after he broke it.

* PsychicPowers: One of the most powerful psychics in the franchise (the comics and cartoons).
* RelatedDifferentlyInTheAdaptation: Xavier and Juggernaut are half-brothers instead of step-brothers like in the comics.
* ShapingYourAttacks: With [[spoiler:Apocalypse]]'s power-up, Xavier can create a literal psychic scythe.
* TheTeamBenefactor: Xavier's wealth allows him to supply the team with whatever they may need. He's able to fund room and board for all of his students/teachers who all live in a mansion, having access to its spacious grounds and enough money to have his X-Men ride into action in a private jet, rebuild the Xavier Institute including the Danger Room and all the various technology that is inevitably damaged every other week in training simulations.
* TeamDad: Several of the X-Men view him as their father figure, especially Scott and Jean.
* TeamMemberInTheAdaptation: [[spoiler:Unlike the comics, where he was no ties to the Horsemen, Apocalypse forcibly conscripts him to be one]].
* {{Telepathy}}: With his formidable psychic powers, Professor X can read and communicate with other minds, apply MindManipulation and LaserGuidedAmnesia, has the capability of accessing, suppressing and restoring memories, able to generate mental blocks onto others' minds, and include sleep. These are just some of the things that he can do with his mutant ability.
* TookALevelInBadass: Once he is [[spoiler:turned into one of the Horsemen of Apocalypse]], Professor X's psychokinesis receives a boost in versatility and raw power, granting him telekinesis, levitation, the ability to fire psionic blasts, and the power to manifest his mind as a shapeshifting being of pure energy. It took Jean using Cerebro and tapping into the power of the Phoenix just to hold him off.

[[quoteright:320:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/iceman_7.png]]
[[caption-width-right:320:''"Hey! Did you see? Were you watching? This time it took me almost twice as long to crash and burn."'']]

-->'''Codename:''' [[Characters/MarvelComicsIceman Iceman]]
-->'''Real Name:''' Robert 'Bobby' Drake
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AndrewFrancis [[labelnote:Foreign [=VAs=]]]David Scarpuzza (FR)[[/labelnote]]

Iceman, also known as Bobby Drake, is the unofficial leader of the 'baby' group, the New Mutants. He is the most outgoing of the new recruits and he later [[SixthRanger becomes a standby X-Man to take the place of Spyke]]. After Spyke's departure, he became a regular in X-Men missions, including being considered one of the more "experienced" students during the Season Three finale to join Cyclops, Storm, Jean Grey, Beast, Nightcrawler, Rogue, and Shadowcat to fight Apocalypse. Iceman has the ability to convert his body to ice and to produce ice from his hands.
----
* AdaptationalLateAppearance: In the comics, he was in the first issue when the X-Men as founded and was one of the founding members. Here, Drake appears after the X-Men was already formed in the second season.
* AscendedExtra: Starts off as nothing more than an extra face. By Season 4, he's officially taken over Evan's role in the series, getting to hang out with the main X-Men. Bobby himself points out in one episode that he's practically an X-Men by this point.
* BrilliantButLazy: He's shown in the few times he gets to be on a mission to be a capable team player, and was a fairly competent leader during a Danger Room session, but usually his immaturity gets in the way.
* ChickMagnet: He gets his own legion of island fangirls while on a vacation cruise, and enjoys showing off for them.
* ClassClown: He's almost always the one to act out and make a scene in class.
%%* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Cannonball.
%%* TheHero: To the New Recruits anyway.
* AnIcePerson: His codename is Iceman and his powers involve firing freezing blasts from his hands and shapeshifting into an icy form.
%%* JerkWithAHeartOfGold
* MrFanservice: He is not as tall or as muscular as the older men being an adolescent boy still but he has a moderate amount of muscle and he does get some scenes like when Beast took them out on a field trip and when the X Men were on a cruise ship wearing nothing but boardshorts.
* ThePrankster: On occasion, Iceman uses his powers for pranks, such as dropping the temperature of a pool when the people inside insult the X-Men for being mutants.
* TeamMemberInTheAdaptation: While this version would later join the X-Men, his comic counterpart was one of the original members and thus was never tied to the New Mutants.
* TooDumbToLive: He stole the X-Jet for a joyride, broke into the Danger Room for unsupervised training, and put an iceberg in front of the cruise ship he himself was sailing on. If it wasn't for the intervention of the other, more experienced X-Men, he would very easily have gotten himself and many other innocent people killed.
%%* TotallyRadical: To some extent, not as bad as Spyke though.

-->'''Codename:''' Cannonball\\
'''Real Name:''' Samuel 'Sam' Guthrie\\
'''Voiced by:''' Creator/BillSwitzer

The tall, blond southern boy who joined at the same time as the other New Recruits. More well rounded and likable than Bobby in some respects, he's easily identifiable by being a head taller than most of the students, even some of the original cast.
----
* BarrierWarrior: Doesn't ever use his power to fight, he's more of an evacuation type person. In the final fight, all he does is fly Rogue to Apocalypse's strong hold.
* {{Flight}}: His power allows him to fly like a rocket, however unlike most people, he can't stop or float, meaning his only way to land is to crash.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Bobby.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Could have beat Logan in a race, but got cocky and decided to use his powers. Lost horribly because of this.
* {{Geek}}: WordOfGod bios for the New Recruits refer to him as such.
* GentleGiant: The tallest of the New Recruits, but easily the nicest.
* TheKlutz: He certainly crashes a lot.
* TheLancer / TheBigGuy: To the New Recruits anyway.

-->'''Codename:''' [[Characters/MarvelComicsJubilee Jubilee]]
-->'''Real Name:''' Jubilation Lee
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ChiaraZanni

Usually seen with Bobby, Sam, and Jamie, Jubilee is the second most seen female member of the New Recruits during Season 2. She's PutOnABus despite proving to be rather popular amongst some of the fans when the [[ExecutiveMeddling executives]] decided there were too many characters. She has the ability to shoot firework-like 'plasmoids' either in the shape of actual fireworks or beams. Easily identifiable by her yellow jacket.
----
* BrilliantButLazy: Her WordOfGod official bio describes her as this, not really shown however.
* EmbarrassingFirstName: Jubilation, never referred to as such in the show though.
* LethalHarmlessPowers: She fires explosive plasmoids! Regularly seen firing them at friends/other students.
* MythologyGag: Constantly wears a yellow jacket when out of uniform. Season 2 ends with her clothes damaged enough to turn her normal jeans into shorts, making her look exactly how she did in the comics, only with longer hair.
* OneOfTheBoys: Only seen hanging out with girls in two appearances; in every other scene, she's always with Bobby (and to lesser extent Sam and Jamie), either for his crazy adventures, or for the ShipTease.
* PersonalityPowers: A cute, bubbly party girl with the ability to shoot fireworks.
* PlatonicLifePartners: With Bobby, depending on who you ask.
* PutOnABus: Alongside Wolfsbane she was written out at the beginning of season 3. [[spoiler:Came back in the finale to help fight Apocalypse.]]
* ShipTease: With Bobby, who she's usually paired up with in fanfics.
* TeamMemberInTheAdaptation: She was never a New Mutant in the comics, instead being part of both the X-Men proper and ComicBook/GenerationX.

-->'''Codename:''' Magma
-->'''Real Name:''' Amara Juliana Olivia Aquilla
-->'''Voiced by:''' Alexandria Carter [[labelnote:Foreign [=VAs=]]]Esther Aflalo (FR)[[/labelnote]]

The only one to get a focal episode (two actually) but also the most powerful. Magma, as her name suggests, can generate heat and fire, along with to some extent control lava. A princess in her home country, Amara is one of the more girly members of the group, not to mention a little of a ShrinkingViolet at first.
----
%%* ActionGirl
* AdaptationalDyeJob: Magma's appearance has been [[RaceLift significantly altered]] from her comic book incarnation, where she has blond hair and blue eyes; in Evolution, she is fully Brazilian with dark brown hair and brown eyes.
* ADayInTheLimelight: Ends up getting two focal episodes, "Walk On the Wild Side" and "Cruise Control".
* DefrostingIceQueen: Similar to the one below, Amara was apparently going to be one of these, assumed to have mostly happened off screen.
* ElementalShapeshifter: She can transform her body into magma and molten rocks along with FlamingHair.
* FlamingHair: She has this when in her lava form.
%%* FingerSnapLighter
%%* InNameOnly
* MagmaMan: Amara is a mutant with geothermal powers meaning that her mutant ability allows her to harness the power of the earth elements, allowing her to simulate effects associated with volcanic activity. She can create earthquakes too, but this is simply the logical side effect of bringing magma to the surface.
* NaiveNewcomer: In "Walk On The Wild Side", it's mentioned that it was her first day of starting high school. She's taken under Jean's wing (and later Tabitha's) throughout the episode.
* {{Ojou}}: The official bios stated that she's a princess and has been described as having a somewhat haughty, "royal" attitude at times.
* PlayingWithFire: With her mutant abilities, Amara also has the full range of fire powers at her disposal.
* RaceLift: She's actually from Brazil in both show and comics, but her comic appearance had her as a blue-eyed Caucasian Brazilian. In the show she is an Afro-Brazilian.
%%* ShipTease: With Sam, explaining why they're paired up so frequently in fanfics.
* ShrinkingViolet: A minor example. Amara retains a rather shy, soft-spoken demeanor and she doesn't have a lot of confidence as she gets easily discouraged when she does not live up to her own expectations.
%%* SugarAndIcePersonality
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Girly Girl to Tabitha's Tomboy. Amara is more timid, sweet and insecure compared to Tabitha's more bold, adventurous and loud personality.

[[quoteright:319:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/wolfsbane.png]]
[[caption-width-right:319:Wolfsbane/Rahne Sinclair]]

-->'''Codename:''' Wolfsbane
-->'''Real Name:''' Rahne Sinclair
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ChantalStrand

Wolfsbane, also known as Rahne Sinclair, is a relatively serene individual, only speaking in four episodes and eventually being altogether removed from the cast during the third season despite being popular, but returned in a cameo during the series finale. She is of Scottish decent and is able to transform into a lupine form. Her name was mispronounced as "Rohn-ee" in "Retreat", but is correctly pronounced as ''rain'' in "Mainstream".
----
* {{Animorphism}}: Her mutant ability allows her to transform into a full wolf or a werewolf (wolf-like humanoid) at will.
* FanService: Got a swimsuit scene in the episode 'Retreat', not only the first to do so but also the only New Recruit girl to wear a two piece.
* FlatCharacter: She doesn't exactly have as many characteristics that make her stick out from the rest of the cast, leading her to be PutOnABus later on in Season 3.
* GirlishPigtails: Her default hairstyle is two short pigtails.
* MagicPants: Her clothes disappear when she turns into a wolf, and reappear when she turns back into human.
%%* NobleWolf
* TheNoseKnows: Rahne has a superhuman sense of smell as part of her overall turning-into-a-werewolf package.
* NotCompletelyUseless: Most of the time her power to turn into a ''dog'' seemed almost completely useless, until the kids needed her to sniff out Beast after he'd been kidnapped by some Big-Foot hunters.
* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: She's a mutant human girl who can turn into either a full wolf or half wolf/human hybrid, her clothes slowly disappear while transforming (they are likely made of unstable molecules, this being a Franchise/MarvelUniverse after all), only to reform while transforming.
* PartialTransformation: She can change into a wolf or a transitional state between human and wolf.
* PutOnABus: [[spoiler: Until she appears one final time in the series finale, in Xavier's glimpse into the future, revealing that she does return to the team]].
* RedheadInGreen: Rahne has short red hair and (whenever she's not in her wolf form) is usually seen wearing a green cut-out shoulder, turtle neck top. She also has has green eyes and at one point wears a green bikini.
* {{Scotireland}}: Downplayed. She has a very mild to non-existent accent that almost sounds like the voice of a fairy.
* ShipTease: She played around with Sam and helped Jamie with his homework which may explain her ships with them, but the most popular Rahne-related ships are with Roberto, based on the episode ''Retreat'' (being the only episode in which both of them actually speak in full sentences).
* TheVoiceless: As said before, got two speaking roles; in one of them all she does is laugh a little, usually she's just in the background or in her wolf form.

[[caption-width-right:320:Sunspot/Roberto da Costa]]

-->'''Codename:''' [[Characters/MarvelComicsSunspot Sunspot]]
-->'''Real Name:''' Roberto da Costa
-->'''Voiced by:''' Michael Coleman

Sunspot, also known as Roberto da Costa, is a rich Brazilian boy with the power to absorb solar energy to gain super human capabilities, such as strength, speed, agility, and (seen in the first episode of Season 2) able to fly. Roberto was shown to be a perfectionist and an overachiever, and he seem to be romantically attracted to Wolfsbane. He does very little for the show but still retains a small but dedicated fanbase.
----
* BattleAura: When using his powers he becomes a black silhouette within yellow, Kirby Dotted flame. And just like his comics counterpart, sun-powered SuperStrength is his power - no heat is generated, regardless of how fiery he looks.
* EnergyAbsorption: He absorbs solar energy from the sun.
%%* {{Flight}}
* FlyingBrick: Only seen flying once, but his powers make him one.
%%* HotBlooded
* ThePerfectionist: He is shown to be an overachiever.
* ThePowerOfTheSun: His power comes from sunlight.
* ShipTease: With Rahne in the episode ''Retreat'', Namely the scene in which they're both wearing swimsuits and staring romantically at each other.
* SmallNameBigEgo: He's noted to be a little arrogant regarding his powers and abilities.
* SuperStrength: Sunspot has the ability to absorb solar energy and convert it for use as physical strength.

-->'''Codename:''' Berzerker
-->'''Real Name:''' Ray Crisp
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/TonySampson [[labelnote:Foreign [=VAs=]]]Alexandre Crépet (FR)[[/labelnote]]

Berzerker, also known as Ray Crisp, has been significantly altered from his comic book incarnation, where he was an extremely violent Morlock; in Evolution, he's fairly mellow, though he still has a temper. He was initially intended to have an on-going rivalry with Sunspot, but aside from one scene this was phased out of the show. It's shown in a later episode that he was allied with the Morlocks before he joined Xavier's school and tried to stop Spyke from joining them. Often seen goofing off with Bobby, if he's not blowing something up, he's thinking of new, inventive ways to blow it up anyway. Berzerker's mutant power allows him to harness electricity or electrical discharges.
----
* AbortedArc: Was originally going to have a rivalry with Sunspot, but it was dropped after one episode.
* AdaptationPersonalityChange: Unlike his comic counterpart, Ray is laid back and generally non-violent.
* AscendedExtra: Appearing once in the comics as an AxCrazy Morlock, here he appears in a good number of B-Plots, usually as Bobby's second Male Best friend and speaks in almost every appearance.
* BerserkButton: Apparently hitting him in the face with a ball when using your powers in a non-powered game of volleyball is a sure fire way to set him off.
* BerserkerRage: His codename ''is'' [[{{Pun}} Berzerker]], after all.
* BigBrotherMentor: To the other New Recruits being the oldest among them.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: WordOfGod claims this as the reason they created him, they wanted a New Recruit who has a "bad boy" vibe, someone who acts tough but is really nice. In the show however he's almost always expressing the heart part.
* MundaneUtility: Thanks to his mutant powers, he can charge electric devices on the go, such as laptops and hair dryers.
* OnlySaneMan: Surprisingly, he comes off as one of the most mature of the New Mutants. Yes, he has a temper but that doesn't distract that he's the least seen when the other members are doing their normal shenanigans
* PsychoElectro: Not as powerful or as psychotic as some, but does have serious anger issues which were addressed at times and did hold his own against Storm (who at the time had been upgraded by Apocalypse).
* ShockAndAwe: Ray's mutant ability allows him to harness electricity.
* TeamMemberInTheAdaptation: His comic counterpart was a Morlock throughout his tenure and never joined the New Mutants.

-->'''Codename:''' [[Characters/XFactor Multiple]]
-->'''Real Name:''' James 'Jamie' Madrox
-->'''Voiced by:''' David A Kaye (not [[Creator/DavidKaye the one who voices Professor X]])

The youngest of the ensemble, Jamie is like the little brother none of them wanted. His power is to duplicate himself, his clothes, and any object he's holding but only when hit with external kinetic energy (such as being hit/knocked over), which causes him to get in the way due to his clumsiness.
----
* AdaptationNameChange: Related to his AgeLift, but his full comic codename was "Multiple ''Man''."
* AgeLift: He was Scott's age in the comics, while he's the youngest member of the New Mutants in the show.
%%* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Not by blood, but still basically the same deal.
%%* BrattyHalfPint: A rare, non-Scrappy case!
%%* CheerfulChild: Hence why he's not Multiple ''Man'' like the comics.
* InNameOnly: Aside from retaining his real name and powers, he has nothing in common with his comic book counterpart.
* MesACrowd: He's a self-duplicator - can create multiple copies of himself. It's shown that every copy is independent of itself but Jamie has the ability to also retract these copies at will.
%%* MundaneUtility: Jamie constantly uses his dupes like this.
* PrecociousCrush: Hinted to have a bit of one on Kitty.
* SelfDuplication: Possesses the power to not only create clones of himself, but also of any objects that he might have knocked over.
* TeamMemberInTheAdaptation: His comic counterpart had no ties to the New Mutants, instead being a member of the back-up X-Men that rose from the fallout of ''Fall of the Mutants'' and later various incarnations of ComicBook/XFactor.
* TheTeamWannabe: He keeps begging and pleading to be let in on the antics the other kids get themselves into, it usually never works. Which is actually a good thing.
* VagueAge: While the writers have stated they had no idea how old most of the characters were, Jamie's exact age in particular is uncertain, but they suggested he was around 12, which seems to fit.

-->'''Codename:''' Spyke
-->'''Real Name:''' Evan Daniels
-->'''Voiced by:''' Neil Denis [[labelnote:Foreign [=VAs=]]]Guillaume Legier (FR)[[/labelnote]]

A mutant from New York City and also Storm's nephew. He has the ability to project bone-like spikes from his skin. Spyke is stubborn and lacks respect for authority. This often puts him in conflict with the other X-Men. When his powers can't be controlled he leaves the X-Men, and joins the Morlocks, becoming their champion.
----
* AntiHero: Part of Evan's character development. At the start of the series he's a ClassicalAntiHero; he's the least serious-minded of the cast, regularly skipping out on meetings and acting hot headed. After his secondary mutation, and seeing the living condition of the Morlocks, Spyke grows into a PragmaticHero, taking to vigilantism to protect mutants who are being bullied and attacked by humans, but his heart remains in the right place.
* TheBabyOfTheBunch: Evan is the youngest member of the X-Men until the New Mutants make their appearance later.
* BadWithTheBone: His power is shooting bone spikes out of his body.
* TheBigGuy: He's the most reckless and prone to violence on the X-Men team.
* CanonForeigner: Evan doesn't exist in the regular Marvel Universe, and due to the circumstances of his origin, won't ever (in the regular Marvel Universe, Storm's an only child).
* CityMouse: He's a city kid, and he has more trouble adapting to the outdoors. Evan would rather be skateboarding than doing any nature hikes.
* CommutingOnABus: Part of the main cast for the first two and a half seasons. He leaves the X-Men during the third season to join the Morlocks. He is all but forgotten about till he reappears in a season four episode.
* DemotedToExtra: A major character in seasons one and two; in season three, he up and joins the Morlocks. Gets an episode here or there, but he's mostly gone.
%%* FadSuper
* GoodIsNotNice: In Season 4.
* HealingFactor: It's how he can remove the bones from his body without bleeding to death or injuring himself.
* HotBlooded: It makes the future evolution of his powers quite fitting.
* IncendiaryExponent: Flaming spikes after "Uprising".
%%* JerkWithAHeartOfGold
* JustLikeRobinHood: After joining the Morlocks. Though he never actually steals, he partakes in Street Justice to protect mutants.
%%* OriginalGeneration
* PowerIncontinence: He initially had some difficulties with his powers going off without him wanting them to (accidentally taking out a light by stretching on waking up, for example). In fact, this is how Storm noticed he was a mutant: his powers subtly kicked off when he fell over in a game of basketball. Then, in season 3, it got worse. So much worse.
* TheRival: To Quicksilver in their introductory episode.
* SkeletonsInTheCoatCloset: An involuntary version of the trope "Uprising".
* [[DistaffCounterpart Spear Counterpart]]: To the comics' Marrow, powerset-wise (and him joining the Morlocks later also reflects this, since Marrow was a Morlock to begin with). The show's producers stated that, at the time, they didn't know about Marrow, hence why Spyke's so similar to her.
* SpikeShooter: His usual use of his powers is shooting out projectiles.
* TakingTheBullet: In "Uprising", he takes an energy blast from a laser gun that was intended for Leech.
* TokenMinority: He's the only black member of the team (or at least the students) in the first season.
* TookALevelInBadass: After joining the Morlocks.
* TooQualifiedToApply: In one episode, he enters a skateboarding contest and performs well, but is pressured by the other contestants into forfeiting because of his mutant genes. Spyke insists his mutation doesn't affect his ability to skateboard, but leaves the contest anyway, feeling that when the judges find out he's a mutant, [[FantasticRacism he's not going to stand a chance of winning anyway]].
* TotallyRadical: If the hair and skateboard weren't enough of a clue.
* TroubledButCute: He's a scruffy athletic teen rebel with a penchant for trouble. And even after his secondary mutation, is still not exactly ugly.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: In "Uprising", he goes to great lengths to defend mutants from mutant-hating bigots.
[[/folder]]

!!The Brotherhood

[[folder:General]]
* AgeLift: With the exception of Tabitha, Pietro and Wanda, most of the characters were already adults when we first see them in the comics. Here, only Magneto and Mystique are adults.
* {{Delinquent|s}}: They skip school, get into fights with the X-Men, and commit petty crimes such as vandalism and theft.
* EnemyMine: They've worked with the X-Men on several occasions, usually out of necessity.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Not so much evil as just criminals, but the Brotherhood show that they're not willing to let Apocalypse [[spoiler:turn the world into mutants, knowing that most wouldn't survive the change]].
* HeelFaceTurn: A pretty ambiguous case. [[spoiler:Xavier has a vision of the Brotherhood and Pyro forming the Freedom Force in the future, but then sadly states that "some people never change".]]
* IncidentalVillain: They're less a gang of sociopathic terrorists and more a bunch of antisocial teens being led around by an actual sociopath; once Mystique, and later Magneto, were gone, they couldn't care less about the heroes, wouldn't hurt people or really do anything bad, but just keep to themselves unless they were forced to act. They were practically friends with the X-Men, and had a more FriendlyRivalry vibe to their feud than anything; they helped them all the time, and most times they fought them outside of Mystique's influence were because, despite being not-quite-evil, they were generally [[JerkAss assholes]], or [[LetsYouAndHimFight there was a misunderstanding.]] However, with the exception of Lance, they adamantly refused to join the X-Men on principle, preferring to mind themselves. [[spoiler:In the end, however, they stopped going around wavering on the line between good and evil and joined SHIELD.]]
* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: At least by Season 2. At first, they were at least even with the X-Men, and were able to overpower them in one episode, [[ButtMonkey except for Toad]]. But slowly, each one got more and more pathetic. Pietro became more cowardly, Blob became dumber, and Avalanche went through massive character derailment. In Season 3, they were bested by only ''two'' X-Men, one being the weakest member. It was why the Acolytes were introduced, who were definitely ''not'' this.
* LighterAndSofter: The Brotherhood are portrayed as trouble making teenagers instead of terrorists as in the comics and other versions.
* NotEvenBotheringWithTheAccent: Half of the Brotherhood members are European in the comics: Toad (British), Avalanche (Greek), and Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch (Eastern Europe), but in the show they're reinvented as Americans.
* TeamRocketWins: The Brotherhood boys pretty much always get their asses kicked by the X-Men. However, in the Season 1 two part finale, they actually manage to defeat them (along with Rogue defeating Toad). And an episode in Season 2 depicts a fight between the two groups in a mall at night; as usual, the X-Men seem to have won again, but then [[TheDreaded Wanda Maximoff]] shows up...
-->'''Blob:''' All right! We finally beat 'em!
* WouldHitAGirl: Any of the Brotherhood boys has no problem fighting female members of the X-Men. Though not actually hitting, Avalanche does one better and used his power to create earthquakes to attempt to kill Kitty ''twice'' before Season 2 rolls in.

Mystique is the leader of the Brotherhood, but took orders from Magneto, until leaving him after she felt he questioned her loyalty and talent. She is intelligent, cunning, deceptive and very dangerous due to her shapeshifting abilities.\\\

She changed into human form and used the name Raven Darkholme to became the Bayville High school principal, giving her the opportunity to monitor Xavier's students as well as her Brotherhood members. Later, she fought Storm, but was easily punched out. Afterwards, she helped the X-Men fight Magneto, but was knocked into his enhancement machine, and was presumed dead by the X-Men following Asteroid M's destruction.\\\

She returned later to infiltrate and destroy Xavier's school by disguising herself as Professor X. Several students barely escaped with their lives.\\\

She raised Rogue and is Nightcrawler's mother, although neither knew her true identity growing up.
----
* AdaptationalSuperpowerChange: In the comic books she's a mutant [[{{Humanshifting}} humanshifter]], but still unable to alter her body mass and taking on the form of someone who doesn't have a similar build as it causes her great strain. In the show, however, Mystique is a full shapeshifter with ShapeshifterBaggage in play: she can grow up to the size of Juggernaut or the Blob, or shrink down to the form of a common house cat or a bird, such as a [[StealthPun raven]].
* AdaptationalWimp: Played with... this show's incarnation of Mystique is much less capable in a fight than any other incarnations, but she does have powers that her 616 and film counterparts lack (like the ability to turn into animals). She gets a [[TookALevelInBadass power boost]] in the first season finale that renders her more bestial-looking but stronger, and while that boost eventually goes away she does retain her more varied shapeshifting abilities and a bit of the strength as well.
* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Her blue skin is a cornerstone of her character design.
* AnimalEyes: After going through Magneto's mutant enhancer, Mystique eyes changed from grey human-like eyes with round pupils to yellow cat-like eyes with slitted pupils.
* {{Animorphism}}: Due to her being a shapeshifter, Mystique also has the ability to transform into animals as well as humans.
* ArchEnemy: Was this to Storm during the first season, due to both being the most prominent female members of their respective organizations. This comes to a head in "The Cauldron", where the two are pitted against each other as part of Magneto's plan.
* BigBadWannabe:
** During the first season, she appears to be the leader of the Brotherhood, but is actually subordinate to Magneto, who is implied to [[BadBoss abuse and torment her whenever she disobeys or angers him]]. When the time comes for her to prove her worth to him, she is one of the two Brotherhood members to fail to defeat the X-Man they had been paired to (the other being [[ButtMonkey Toad]]).
** Though she does reclaim some credibility in the second season, as she succeeds in [[spoiler:recruiting Wanda and destroying the X-mansion]], the following season has her being effortlessly [[spoiler:manipulated by Mesmero, who tricks her into unleashing Apocalypse at the cost of her own life]].
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: In the final season, [[spoiler:she is turned into one of Apocalypse's Horsemen]].
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: In season one, she was a FauxActionGirl that was chronically knocked out or incapacitated whenever she got into a real fight, and had to rely on either having other mutants fight for her or using her shapeshifting ability and trickery to manipulate others. Even then, she was more [[ShapeshiftingTrickster mischievous]] than dangerous, only being a legitimate threat on her own when she tried to kill Scott in "Turn of the Rogue". However, after her enhancements in the season one finale, she became [[TookALevelInBadass much more lethal and threatening as a villain]].
* CoDragons: As the leader of the Brotherhood, she acts as Magneto's direct subordinate during the first season, a position she shares with Sabretooth. Following Magnus' betrayal in "The Cauldron", she becomes his enemy for the rest of the show.
%%* ComboPlatterPowers
* DaddyHadAGoodReasonForAbandoningYou: Turns out she didn't intentionally abandon Kurt in this version. She'd accidentally dropped him into a river when he was a baby. When she found out he was alive she left him with the couple that found him, wanting to GiveHimANormalLife.
* DarkActionGirl: She can hold her own against Cyclops using just her physical prowess, and can also morph into various animals to give her an edge against most opponents.
* DeerInTheHeadlights: In "The Cauldron Part 1", Mystique looks on in complete horror as Storm comes running towards her out of the fog with a raised fist, and does nothing to stop her from knocking her out.
* DragonWithAnAgenda: In the first season, she's working for Magneto, but they have a slight falling out and she works independently for the rest of the series. This causes some tension when both tried to take command of the Brotherhood, with varied results depending on the episode and the Brother.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Despite her involvement with Magneto, she cares a lot about Kurt and Rogue. In "Shadowed Past", she clearly regrets losing Kurt and chose to tell him that she's his mother, knowing well enough that the truth would be a shock for him.
%%* EvilIsPetty:
%%* EvilMatriarch
* EvilPlan: In the second season, she pulls off a clever one on the X-Men by [[spoiler:impersonating the then-missing Professor X and getting Wolverine to go missing so he won't identify her]]. Only Scott's surprise arrival and deduction skills foiled her, and by then it was already too late to [[spoiler:prevent the X-Mansion from getting blown up]].
* EvilRedhead: Mystique is the leading female antagonist of the show, and her natural form is a combination of blue skin and red hair.
* EvilTeacher: In the first season, she impersonates Principal Darkholme to recruit mutant delinquents into the Brotherhood, and also takes the opportunity to bully the X-Men and hinder their academic lives.
* FailureIsTheOnlyOption: In the first season, Mystique ''always'' lost any battle she had against Storm.
* FangsAreEvil: Mystique gains these after going through Magneto's enhancer. She really enjoys showing them off.
* FanservicePack: After the incident with Asteroid M, Mystique ended up changing from her comic outfit into a leather crop top, miniskirt, and matching high-heeled boots.
%%* ForeheadOfDoom
* FriendlyEnemy: Implied. Charles is explicitly aware of her identity as the high school principal, but still allows his X-Men to attend her school and has a civil chat with her in her office in one episode.
* GenderBender: While she's normally a woman, she can shapeshift into a man at will.
* GiveGeeksAChance: Implied in season 2, since she is frequently seen hanging around Arcade in "Fun & Games", and apparently falls in love with Forge towards the end of "Shadow Games". Both times, she's disguised as Risty Wilde.
* GlamourFailure: In the first season, Mystique can't quite mimic the scent of others, making her particularly vulnerable to Wolverine's sense of smell. However in Season 2, he wasn't able to detect her at all when she was under the disguise of Risty and while she was impersonating Xavier. The reasoning behind this is because her shapeshifting mutation was further advanced by Magneto's mutant enhancer.
* HarmlessVillain: Storm seems to view her as one in "The Cauldron, Part 1", treating her more like a nuisance than a real enemy when they fight each other.
* HealingFactor: Mystique has noticeably some sort of accelerated healing as she has been struck by Storm's lightning full force but still continued to fight with her. She has a much quicker recovery than other mutants when exposed to Rogue's powers as most become and stay unconscious for an extended period time unlike Mystique who's up and moving about within minutes afterwards. Then much later after Apocalypse enhances her powers even further, Mystique takes a direct blast from Cyclops that leaves a giant gaping hole in her stomach which instantly heals back together.
* HeelFaceDoorSlam: Following the battle with Apocalypse, Mystique makes overtures of reconciliation with Kurt and Rogue. Though whether she meant it or not depends on the view of the individual, her children make it clear they've had enough of her ChronicBackStabbingDisorder and want nothing to do with her.
* HellBentForLeather: After the first season, her base form's outfit becomes a stripperific black two piece, and she also becomes much more lethal.
* HimeCut: Has a variation of one in the first season, which gets replace by a more pronounced fringe in the later ones.
* InTheHood: In "Shadowed Past", she hides her true identity from Kurt by covering her face with a hood.
* InkSuitActor: As seen on the DVD special features cast interview, her first season appearance looks a lot like her voice actress with blue skin.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Much of her actions, whether it'd be grabbing power or destroying her enemies, are purely motivated by self-interest. Telling enough when Mystique worked with Mesmero to mind-control Rogue to be the key to free Apocalypse, but after Mesmero revealed Mystique is also part of the key, she's completely livid.
* KickChick: Mystique has an abundance of martial arts skill, but great emphasis is put on the many ways she can contort herself just to plant a foot in an enemy's face. It helps that her costume (or lack thereof) is custom-made to show a ''lot'' of leg.
* LittleBitBeastly: After the first season, Mystique is shown to have a more feral-like appearance with yellow cat-like eyes and sharpened canines.
* LukeIAmYourFather: Mystique being Nightcrawler's biological mother is revealed quite early in Season 1. When Kurt finds out, he's less than pleased.
* MagicPants: Inversion. She shapeshifts fully clothed, and it's eventually revealed that she doesn't wear actual clothes, but shapeshifts them.
* MarkOfTheBeast: [[spoiler:She receives blue markings similar to those of Apocalypse when he "recruits" her as one of his horsemen]].
* MasterOfDisguise: Naturally, given her mutation is to change her body and clothes into any appearance she wishes.
* MsFanservice: Wears a leather outfit that shows more of her skin and midriff after the first season.
* PetTheDog: Impersonates a police officer to keep the Bayville Sirens from getting arrested, seemingly just because she supported them sticking it to the guys.
* PowerUpgradingDeformation: The enhancements applied to her in "The Cauldron, Part 2" turn her into a significantly less attractive, muscular version of her [[Film/XMenFilmSeries movie incarnation]]'s reptilian form (albeit clothed). Even after most of the enhancements wear off by season 2, her true form, while not necessarily ''hideous'', becomes more [[LittleBitBeastly feral]] in appearance, with yellow cat-like eyes, fangs, and a generally darker color scheme. A very clear contrast from the clean-cut, sophisticated appearance she had in the previous season.
* PsychicBlockDefense: After her mutation became fully advanced via Magneto's machine at the end of Season 1, she becomes immune to telepathy.
* ReformedButRejected: In her final scene, Mystique [[spoiler:begs Kurt and Rogue to listen to her as she tries to explain why she performed the actions that culminated in Apocalypse's release. The two siblings tell her to save it, and walk away saying they are done with her lies]].
%%* ScreamingWarrior
* ShapeshifterWeapon: Mystique was shown doing this in the GrandFinale where [[spoiler:Apocalypse enhanced her mutant powers so that she can transform her limbs in weapons like blades]].
* SkeletonsInTheCoatCloset: In her natural form as part of her season one outfit, she wears a belt of skulls.
%%* SmugSnake
* TheStarscream: She was always looking to break out from under Magneto.
* SupernaturalGoldEyes: Her base form in every season but the first has yellow sclera, further distinguishing her status as a mutant.
* TeamMemberInTheAdaptation: [[spoiler:Unlike the comics, where she was no ties to the Horsemen, Apocalypse forcibly conscripts her to be one]].
* TookALevelInBadass:
** In the first season, Mystique was just Magneto's pawn and didn't pose much of a threat on her own, getting defeated every time she engaged the X-Men in combat. The following season and the beginning of season three firmly establish her as an extremely dangerous foe, as she becomes much more cunning, and her fighting skills are more pronounced, to the point she rivals (but not surpasses) Magneto as a threat.
** At the very end of the final season, Mystique is granted a ridiculous power boost to her shapeshifting skills, courtesy of [[spoiler:becoming one of Apocalypse's horsemen]]. Her new abilities include [[spoiler:SelfDuplication, liquefying her body, and shapeshifting her limbs into a variety of weapons]]; and that's on top of [[spoiler:a HealingFactor that's strong enough to regenerate her entire torso after Cyclops blasts a hole through it]].
%%* TheVamp: An embodiment of this trope, particularly during the first season.
* VillainDecay: In the later episodes of the show's third season, she loses all presence as a villain and becomes a pawn for Mesmero. In a couple episodes, she was only present just so that Rogue could absorb her powers.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Nothing is revealed about her in [[spoiler:Xavier's vision of the future. All we are given is the scene where Kurt and Rogue disown her]].
* YellowEyesOfSneakiness: Mystique's eyes are yellow and she's a cunning and manipulative shapeshifter.
* YouDontLookLikeYou: Mystique in the first season has a light blue skin, dresses in white and has opaque pupils. In every season after, she has a much darker skin color, HellishPupils and is always dressed in a black tank top and skirt. Nobody in the entire series seems to notice or comment on how much her base form has radically changed.

[[folder:Avalanche]]
[[quoteright:320:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lance_2018.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:320:''"You're making it yours, Kitty. Once you own it, nothing can own you."'']]

-->'''Codename:''' Avalanche
-->'''Real Name:''' Lance Alvers
-->'''Voiced by:''' Christopher Grey [[labelnote:Foreign [=VAs=]]]Erico Salamone (FR)[[/labelnote]]

A mutant with the ability to manipulate the earth by generating seismic waves from his body. Avalanche came from the same town as Shadowcat, but had a very different upbringing. He grew up as a streetwise orphan who seemed angry at the world. Confused and alienated, he was a perfect target for Mystique and the Brotherhood. Lance was one of the most complex characters. He started off as a punk, before becoming more of a troubled youth, and then ultimately showing responsibility and maturity. His romantic interest in Kitty Pryde and their relationship played a major role in his attempts to change. It even leads him to attempt a major HeelFaceTurn by joining the X-Men. As the oldest Brotherhood member, Lance is often the defacto leader and feels responsible for the others.
----
* EightiesHair: Has a mullet hairstyle that goes with his grungy, rebellious loner image.
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: He went from a unsympathetic PsychoForHire or PunchClockVillain in the comics to an angry, yet notably sympathetic character in the show.
* AdaptationNameChange: In the comics, his real name was Dominikos Ioannis Petrakis. It was changed to a more Americanized name, Lance Alvers.
* AdaptationalNationality: The comics' Avalanche is Greek, while the show's one is American.
%%* AntiVillain
* ArchEnemy: As the defacto leaders of their respective groups, Avalanche and Cyclops quickly become rivals.
* BerserkButton: Since Season Two on, for your own good don't hurt or threaten Kitty.
* BigThinShortTrio: The "Thin" to Blob's "Big" and Toad's "Short".
* BitchInSheepsClothing: Kitty accuses Lance of being this at the beginning of Season 3.
* BloodKnight: Lance is always ready for a good brawl, if not actively looking for one.
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: In his first episode, he's destroying his school without remorse, as well as trying to manipulate Kitty's feelings and eventually trying to kill her and her parents. In following episodes, his powers generate an OhCrap response to being love-struck with Kitty for the second season to then not even bothering any more either way to the third. In the fourth he becomes a JerkWithAHeartOfGold and is shown to be the most powerful member of the Brotherhood, possibly even more so than the other villains not over 50.
* ComicBookFantasyCasting: He was designed to look like a young Creator/JuddNelson.
* CompositeCharacter: Lance seems to be a combination of the comic book Avalanche (codename, powers, and role with the Brotherhood) and Rictor of the New Mutants (appearance, the way he channels his seismic powers, and occasional consideration of a HeelFaceTurn). The hotheadedness comes from both of them.
* CoolCar: Speeds around in a green Jeep Wrangler. Tabitha is always stealing it.
%%* CurtainsMatchTheWindow
* DatingCatwoman: He dates Shadowcat during the second season. The Brotherhood tease him for this.
* DependingOnTheWriter: How much of a {{Jerkass}} Lance is varies depending on the season. In the first one, he is a manipulative bully with little to no redeeming qualities. Season 2 shows he has a sweeter side and depicts Kitty as his MoralityPet, only for the following season to revert his personality back to his unsympathetic and villainous self from before. The final season depicts him as a JerkWithAHeartOfGold, with episodes like "No Good Deed" highlighting him as the most noble member of the Brotherhood.
* DishingOutDirt: His mutant power is geological manipulation which allows him to generate seismic waves, mainly creating earthquakes.
* EarthquakesCauseFissures: Avalanche is always doing this with his earthquake-causing abilities, and even seemed to be able to control their direction to more effectively use them as a weapon.
%%* ElementalPowers
* EvenEvilHasStandards: He may be violent and prone to aggression, but he's unwilling to allow a town to be blown up or ignore an old lady's cry for help.
** Before that, during his brief stay with the X-Men, he gets accused of being behind taking their vehicles for joyrides that the New Mutants are actually responsible and takes the blame just to spite Scott, despite not liking it at the same time. However, once he realizes they plan on taking the X-Jet as their next joyride, he decides they're taking their fun too far and brings Kitty with him to stop them and put an end to their antics.
* EvilCounterpart: To Cyclops - both are a BigBrotherMentor and usually the most responsible member of their team, both are orphans, and both tend to take the initiative. The differences end there though as while Scott is calm and collected, Lance is impatient and impulsive, and Scott has turned his own misfortunes in life towards more productive endeavours as opposed to Lance's self-destructive behaviour. Small wonder they're each other's ArchEnemy.
* FosterKid: The show confirms that Lance was in a foster home before joining the Brotherhood but it doesn't really go into much detail as to why he was there to begin with or how long he's been in the system or what happened to his parents, etc.
* HairTriggerTemper: Lance's fiery temper is one of his signature traits. He gets extremely angry easily and with minimal provocation, and usually vents by destroying everything in his immediate area via his earthquake-shaking powers.
* HeelFaceTurn: Attempted one and almost succeeded, but settled in as a WildCard.
* HotBlooded: Lance gets very annoyed easily, as he's often irrational and driven by his [[HairTriggerTemper temper]].
* HugeGuyTinyGirl: With Kitty.
* {{Hunk}}: He's re-designed as a handsome bad boy with the looks of Judd Nelson from The Breakfast Club.
* InNameOnly: Due to being mostly based on an X-Men character named Julio Esteban Richter aka Rictor, Lance has nothing in common with the Avalanche of the comics outside of his codename, powers and team affiliation.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Starts out as a straight-up {{jerkass}} in the first season, before becoming a JerkWithAHeartOfGold at the start of the fourth season.
* {{Leitmotif}}: A grunge chord is heard whenever he uses his power.
* LoveRedeems: Somewhat. He definitely tries to change for Kitty, but can go only so far, and decides to not stay in the New Mutants group after his disastrous and brief stint there. His heroic acts in ''No Good Deed'' had nothing to do with Kitty, which showed he had it in him all along. He also showed up with the rest of the Brotherhood in ''Ascension Part 2'' to help the X-Men fight Apocalypse after first refusing. He immediately goes to save Kitty, which can be either seen as their romance being reignited or a simple PetTheDog moment from him.
* MundaneUtility: Lance used his seismic powers on a soda machine to get a free can.
%%* NobleDemon
* OppositesAttract: He's a grungy, hot-headed and rebellious loner who hooks up with a sweet, naive uptown Valley girl Kitty. Also, they are on opposing teams; Lance is the field leader of the villainous Brotherhood whereas Kitty's part of the heroic X-Men.
* PromotedToLoveInterest: In the comics, Avalanche has little interaction with Shadowcat, but he becomes her love interest in the show.
* RaceLift: The comics' Avalanche was Greek. Presumably he was made American to ease him fitting into the setting (although the does have the darker features such as olive skin tone, dark hair and eyes).
* SingleTargetSexuality: He has eyes only for Kitty. He even go as far as to briefly join the X-Men just to be closer to her. Not even Tabitha briefly living with the Brotherhood removed his feelings.
* SpannerInTheWorks: Twice he did something completely unexpected that could really have upset Xavier's plans.
** In his debut episode, Xavier and Jean knew he was around but they never expected him to meet and connect with Kitty the way he did. They nearly lose Kitty as a result.
** In the season 2 opener, Lance tries to ''out all mutants''. Not even ''Magneto'' wanted that to happen... [[spoiler:yet]].
* StevenUlyssesPerhero: If you switch his first and last names you get pretty close to his codename.
* TallDarkAndSnarky: He's one of the taller characters on the show, has dark hair and features, and he definitely has some [[DeadpanSnarker snark]].
* TroubledButCute: Bad boy, check. Rebel attitude, check. Antisocial behavior, check. Difficult home life, check. Fingerless gloves, check. Heart of gold, check.
* UnskilledButStrong: Has the potential to be the most destructive recurring mutant in the series short of a BigBad like Magneto or Apocalypse (and even then, it's close) and for the most part is, but he lacks the control and the patience to make him a real powerhouse.
* VillainBallMagnet: Tired of failing, being pushed around by Mystique, and generally being unliked by people he respected and liked, Avalanche defects to the X-Men. However, Scott and several of the others don't trust him, and when something goes wrong, they immediately blame him. The younger X-Men even start taking advantage of this, doing extremely risky things that Avalanche gets blamed for. At the end, Scott admits he was wrong, and Kitty kisses him, but because StatusQuoIsGod, he still decides the whole thing is too much effort, and heads back to the Brotherhood.
* VillainRespect: In "Survival of the Fittest", he compliments Scott's abilities as the team leader.

[[folder:Quicksilver]]
[[quoteright:320:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/quicksilver.png]]
[[caption-width-right:320:''"Look, when you live as fast as I do, there ain't enough things to occupy my time. I gotta entertain myself."'']]

-->'''Codename:''' [[Characters/MarvelComicsQuicksilver Quicksilver]]
-->'''Real Name:''' Pietro Maximoff
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/RichardIanCox [[labelnote:Foreign [=VAs=]]]Valéry Benjilali (FR)[[/labelnote]]

A mutant that can move at the speed of sound. Pietro is arrogant, deceptive and his loyalty is always in question. He would betray the Brotherhood and his sister Wanda at the command of his father Magneto, yet showed no compassion at his father's disappearance at the hands of Apocalypse. Pietro has a stormy relationship with his twin sister, although their relationship, as well the one with his Brotherhood teammates, improves during season four.
----
* AdaptationalVillainy: Comic book Pietro, while arrogant, was in the end an AntiVillain who worked for Magneto only because he felt like he owed him, and eventually pulled a HeelFaceTurn, becoming an [[ComicBook/TheAvengers Avenger]]. By contrast, this incarnation of him almost lacks any redeeming qualities, and might actually be one of the least sympathetic members of the Brotherhood.
* ArchEnemy: In his introductory episode with Spyke, which sets him up as TheRival. This doesn't show up in many later episodes though, mostly because Spyke [[CommutingOnABus joins the Morlocks.]]
* BeautyIsBad: Sociopathic disregard for human life? Check. Starscream level cowardice? Check. Draco level smugness? Check. Pretty white hair and bishonen level attractiveness according to female fans? Check.
* BeneathTheMask: Pietro seems to be hiding a heck of a lot under his usual cockiness.
* BigBrotherInstinct: Does genuinely have one towards Wanda, when she isn't trying to murder him. This is best demonstrated in the final episode when he [[spoiler: saves Wanda from being killed by Magneto]].
* BitchInSheepsClothing: At first, he pretends to be nothing more than a Rival, and even helps Evan in luring a trap against whoever's ripping him off. Then he reveals, in an awesome manner, that he is the one who's been messing with him, and leaves him framed for vandalism and theft.
* BlowYouAway: He can use his speed to create cyclonic wind gusts strong enough to lift cars or knock people off their feet.
* TheCasanova: Or at least, the potential to become one. The episode with the dance has Boom-Boom implying that the members of the Brotherhood (besides Lance) don't want to go because they can't get dates. Blob and Toad go with Boom-Boom. Pietro shows up with ''four'' random girls.
* ChickMagnet: He showed up to the school dance with ''four'' girls on his arms. And he still manages to land himself dates even after he's outed as a mutant.
* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: He supposedly works with the Brotherhood, but often goes behind their back at Magneto's request. His lack of loyalty aggravates Lance, to say the least.
%%* DeadpanSnarker
* DirtyCoward: He talks a big game, but only if his father, Magneto is around to back him up.
* DisappearedDad: His dad came back, and that's where all the trouble for Pietro started.
* FlashStep: He often does this in scenes where he's using his powers for some MundaneUtility or another.
* FourManBand: The Smart Guy
* FragileSpeedster: He may be able to break the sound barrier and deliver punches at the speed of light, but if Pietro gets hit ''once'' by any attack (regardless of its strength) it usually sends him down for the count.
* GlamourFailure: It's implied that being super-fast is his natural state and that it takes an effort to slow down to human pace, and, as such, he speaks slightly faster than any other character and often can't restrain his powers over small distances; for example, in his first appearance, when he zooms around Evan in the locker room ''before'' revealing himself more dramatically later on.
%%* IAmNotMyFather
%%* ImpossibleThief
* {{Jerkass}}: He never stops being an arrogant, self-centered dick.
* ALadyOnEachArm: He shows up to a dance with a girl on each arm... And two girls besides them.
%%* LargeHam
* MissingMom: His and Wanda's mother is never mentioned. It is possible she died shortly before Magneto sent Wanda away.
* TheMole: He's essentially this for Magneto, and his primary task is to keep an eye on Mystique and the Brotherhood.
* MotorMouth: Quicksilver talks faster than the other characters by ''just enough''. It's a nice touch of GlamourFailure when he's in civilian dress. Understandable when you consider that ''everything'' about him is sped up, to the point that even when forcing himself to act at normal speed, the world is still moving at "long line at the DMV" speed to him (this is used to explain his often generally disagreeable attitude in the comicverse.)
* MysticalWhiteHair: Subverted. Although he is superpowered, his white hair is simply inherited from his father Magneto.
* NomDeMom: Has the surname of his mother, Magda Maximoff.
* NotQuiteDead: During the finale of the first season, [[spoiler: when the asteroid blew up, many fans speculated that Pietro had been killed because he was not shown with the rest of the Brotherhood. Actually, in a blink-and-you'll-miss-it scene, the unconscious Pietro was carried to safety by Spyke]].
* PrettyBoy: He has a slim facial structure with pretty white hair and narrow blue eyes, a slender build fitting for a FragileSpeedster, and girls find him very handsome.
* TheSmartGuy: Of the Brotherhood, at least, which might not really say that much.
* SmugSnake: Pietro acts arrogant and smug when in control of a situation or fight but as soon as the tables are turned, he becomes a DirtyCoward who runs away.
* SmugSuper: He can move [[SuperSpeed too fast to be seen]], calling everyone slowpokes and he doesn't hesitate to rub it in peoples' faces.
* SpectacularSpinning: Quicksilver can create whirlwinds by running around his enemies at top speed.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: Looks almost exactly like his father, down to the white hair.
* SuperSpeed: His mutant ability.
* SpeedDemon: Quicksilver is very arrogant about his speed.
* ThickerThanWater: Willing to betray his entire team, including his sister, in order to help Magneto during the Sentinel. Doesn't seem to fully recover from this until Season 4.
* {{Troll}}: Likes to use his powers to mess with his enemies, such as in his fight against Nightcrawler in "The Hex Factor", where he keeps racing past Nightcrawler making him try different clothes until the X-Man is buried in a pile of them.
* WeakButSkilled: Pietro is a full-blown FragileSpeedster and in most direct confrontations he goes down in one hit. However, Pietro is the first member of the brotherhood seen with considerable control of his power and the other aspects his power might give him, no doubt having trained in its uses alongside his father. It's to be noted that Pietro is often the Brotherhood member who wins the most battles (or at least before the inclusion of his sister on the team), combined with MotorMouth CasualDangerDialogue.
* WellDoneSonGuy: Pietro constantly looks for approval from his father. It explains (but does ''not'' justify) a LOT.
* WhiteHairBlackHeart: Well, more {{Jerkass}} than evil, though.

[[folder:Toad]]
[[quoteright:320:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/toad_3812.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:320:''"Hey, if you can't be cool, be feared. My momma always told me that."'' ]]

-->'''Codename:''' Toad
-->'''Real Name:''' Todd Tolansky
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/NoelFisher [[labelnote:Foreign [=VAs=]]]Benjamin Jungers (FR)[[/labelnote]]

A repugnant mutant who physically resembles a humanoid toad. Like a toad, he can leap great distances, and possesses an extremely long and agile tongue. A social outcast, he has found some acceptance with the Brotherhood, where his talents for thievery and petty crime can be put to good use. Toad is often portrayed as the whipping boy of the Brotherhood, but he also is treated like a little brother, and is even protected by Blob. Toad is known for his extremely poor hygiene which doesn't help him in his attempts to get Wanda Maximoff to like him.
----
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: Is certainly cuter and less revolting in comparison to his {{gonk}}ish appearance in the comics.
* AdaptationalNationality: Toad is British in the comics. In this show, he's an American.
* AdaptationNameChange: His name is Mortimer Toynbee in the comics.
* AlliterativeName: '''T'''odd '''T'''olansky.
* AnimalThemedSuperbeing: As his name implies, Toad possesses almost all of the traits and abilities of a common toad, most notably his superhuman jumping and a 25-feet long tongue.
* ArchEnemy: Establishes himself as Nightcrawler's rival in the first episode. Later episodes imply that Toad is jealous of him, as he is also an outcast due to his physical appearance, but lacks an image inducer to hide it.
%%* AttackItsWeakPoint
* BigThinShortTrio: The "Short" to Avalanche's "Thin" and Blob's "Big".
* ButtMonkey: If someone in the show is going to get hurt or humiliated, it will almost always be Toad. This is highlighted in the season 1 finale, where he is the only member of his team who fails to defeat an X-Man: Rogue effortlessly knocks him out without even needing to use her own power.
* TheChewToy: And almost always PlayedForLaughs:
--> ''[After crashing a jet into a possessed Magneto]'' Did we win? ''[metal starts flying around]'' Oh yeah... we never win.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: While Toad is usually portrayed as a coward who is too incompetent to be a credible threat, a few episodes show he can put his powers to surprisingly good use if given the opportunity. In "Survival of the Fittest", he manages to snatch Juggernaut's helmet so Xavier can subdue the villain; and in "The Cauldron", he saves Mystique by using his own hands and tongue to catch the metal bars flung at her by Magneto.
%%* EyeColorChange
%%* FiveFingerDiscount
* FunPersonified: Toad is this for The Brotherhood, to the point that a large majority of the show's comedy is derived solely from him.
* GoodEyesEvilEyes: Has very pale yellow eyes when in civilian mode and red eyes when in villain mode. Either he wears yellow contacts as a disguise that looks as unnatural as his real colour, or wears red contacts to look even weirder, or has the pointless and un-toadlike ability to change his eye colour.
* HopelessSuitor: Even though he has zero chance, he pursues Wanda, much like his comic book counterpart.
%%* IShallTauntYou
* InASingleBound: Due to his mutation, he can jump very high.
* {{Leitmotif}}: ''T-O-A-D, T-O-A-D! Iss'sall good, yo! See I know, some things ya gotta undastand about Toad.''
* LittleBitBeastly: Has an green elongated tongue as well as certain frog abilities like leaping great distances and secreting slime. He also has webbed hands, red/yellow eyes, bowlegged with a hunched stance and has a very frog-like facial shape.
* MultipurposeTongue: He uses his OverlyLongTongue in combat as one of his primary abilities.
* ThePigPen: Some of his oft-commented upon body odor is implied to be a part of his mutation, but the fact he showers on a monthly basis ain't helping.
* PluckyComicRelief: One of the funniest characters in the series.
%%* PuppyDogEyes: He has a habit of making these.
* ScreamsLikeALittleGirl: He has a very high-pitched girly scream as shown whenever somebody or something scary is out for his blood.
%%* TheSneakyGuy: Toad could steal money with hardly anyone suspecting something. And his nimbleness and ability to WallCrawl allow him to be a good spy.
* StickyFingers: He has a habit of this and is known to be a pickpocket.
* SuperSpit: Toad has been shown to spit out some mucus slime gunk.
* {{Troll}}: Toad often enjoys the suffering of others as he's also trolling them by poking fun at them and pushing their buttons. Like when he zapped away all of Principal Darkholme's office furniture and her new car into the Middleverse just to rile up Mystique.
* VerbalTic: Toad has a tendency to randomly add "[[TotallyRadical yo]]" into most of his sentences.
* WallCrawl: He's able to stick to surfaces and climb along them.

[[quoteright:320:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/blob_2555.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:320:''"Unstoppable? Meet the unmovable!"'']]

-->'''Codename:''' Blob
-->'''Real Name:''' Fred Dukes
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MichaelDobson [[labelnote:Foreign [=VAs=]]]David Pion (FR)[[/labelnote]]

A humongous boy from Texas, Fred Dukes is among the strongest mutants in the world. Blob is the least intelligent of the Brotherhood, but his brawn helps counterbalance his lack of brains. His hefty build and less than charming personality often make him a target of public ridicule. The social isolation and bad temper made him a prime candidate for recruitment into the Brotherhood by Mystique. He was initially treated well by the X-Men until he attempted to kidnap Jean.
----
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Blob was close, though his friendship with Toad made him slightly more morally light than his comic self.
* AdaptationDyeJob: He has blond hair here instead of the red/brown hair that his comic book counterpart has.
* BerserkButton: [[PunctuatedForEmphasis DO NOT LAUGH AT THE BLOB!]]
* BigEater: One of his establishing character traits. His enormous appetite is matched only by his enormous size.
* BigGuyLittleGuy: The big guy to Toad's little guy.
* BigThinShortTrio: The "Big" to Avalanche's "Thin" and Toad's "Short".
%%* TheBrute
* CivilianSpandex: Unlike his fellows who wear stylized costumes, Blob's combat gear looks like something from an army surplus store.
* DelinquentHair: Sports a mohawk.
* DumbMuscle: Definitely not the brightest, but he's strong enough to serve as TheBrute for the Brotherhood.
%%* FatBastard
* FourManBand: The ButtMonkey; he alternates with Toad.
%%* GentleGiant
* GravityMaster: Can alter his own personal gravitational field to root himself to a spot and become immovable while taking advantage of his incredible durability and resistance to harm.
* TheKindnapper: Blob kidnaps Jean to force her to have a date with him. He sets up a nice dinner and some music... in an abandoned warehouse where she's tied to the chair with metal bars.
* MightyGlacier: He's incredibly strong and virtually indestructible, but he's not nearly as acrobatic or quick on his feet as his fellow teammates.
* NighInvulnerability: A very large guy with the codename Blob -- who has stood up to everything from Wolverine's claws to Cyclops' eye blasts.
%%* NoSocialSkills
* PetTheDog: He treats Toad like a little brother and is more of a GentleGiant when Mystique isn't around.
* ShoulderTeammate: Blob himself is known to give shoulder rides to his friend and teammate Toad.
* StalkerWithACrush: He took Jean being nice to him to mean she ''liked'' him. Unreasonable expectations indeed.
* VillainousGlutton: In the comics, his bulk is due to his mutation, but in the show, he is already very fat before he developed his powers. So it is possibly a combination of the two.

[[folder:The Scarlet Witch]]
[[quoteright:320:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/wanda_7000.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:320:''"You haven't seen me angry... until now!"'']]

-->'''Codename:''' Characters/ScarletWitch
-->'''Real Name:''' Wanda Maximoff
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KellySheridan [[labelnote:Foreign [=VAs=]]]Sophie Servais (FR)[[/labelnote]]

Wanda was sent to an asylum by her father Magneto shortly after her mutant powers emerged. Magneto claimed it was necessary because he was unable to help control her dangerous powers, but Wanda always resented him for it. Mystique helped Wanda escape from the asylum in order to bolster the Brotherhood ranks. However, Wanda was more interested in revenge against her father than fighting for the Brotherhood. Wanda suffers from emotional damage from her years locked up in an asylum, but she appears to regain much of her sanity as the series progresses. Wanda has the ability to "hex" other mutants' powers to make them go haywire.
----
* AdaptationalHairstyleChange: She's normally drawn with long hair in the comics. ''X-Men: Evolution'' introduces her with shoulder-length black hair that she then chops drastically short into a pixie.
* AdaptationalJerkass: In the mainline comics for all her flaws she's usually a sweet and compassionate person who hates being seen as a villain and only really flies off the handle when it comes to her loved ones. Here she is a darkly embittered woman with a rebellious and aggressive personality.
* AdaptationalModesty: She wears less revealing outfits than her comic counterpart.
* AdaptationalVillainy: In the comics, she and Pietro both only became villains because Magneto saved their asses and they owed him; both of them eventually became aware of his true nature when they joined the Avengers (although Wanda was always the more heroic of the two). In the show, Wanda is a perpetually angry and dangerously unstable girl with sympathetic, but ''not'' heroic qualities.
* AdaptationDyeJob: Her natural hair color is brunette in the comics but here, she's raven-haired.
* AffectionateNickname: Toad has given Wanda ''many'' pet names much to her utter disgust. Sweetums, Cuddlebumps, Babycakes, Poopsie, Snooknums, Crimson Cutie... the list goes on.
* AntagonisticOffspring: An EvilerThanThou variation. When [[BigBad Mystique]] breaks her out of the asylum, the Scarlet Witch spends the rest of the show trying to hunt down her father and exact her revenge upon him for institutionising her when she was child because she couldn't control her RealityWarper powers.
* AxCrazy: Being institutionalized at a young age due to her uncontrollable powers made Wanda develop into an emotionally unstable and murderously aggressive young woman. Even after Mastermind rewrites her bad memories, she still has a lot of internalized hostility and retains her cold and anti-social personality.
* BerserkButton: As she blames Magneto for abandoning her during her childhood, any mention of his name is enough to send Wanda into a vicious rage. This trait is lost once Mastermind overrides her original memories, making her think that Magnus was a supportive father instead.
* BoyishShortHair: She used to have long hair, but she cut it after her training with Agatha. This reflects her less feminine and assertive personality.
* BrokenBird: She was raised in an abusive asylum after her [[ParentalAbandonment father left her]] there as a child for undisclosed reasons. Her brother is utterly terrified of her as her entire life's goal seems to be to [[{{Patricide}} murder her father]]. Sadly, she only improves after her father [[MindRape has a telepath rewrite her memories to make her love him]]. The sad part is that while fellow BrokenBird Rogue at least got to be redeemed by the X-Men and made some friends, Wanda never really had anyone help her without selfish motives.
* CallingTheOldManOut: During the Sentinel attack, she calls Magneto out immediately upon seeing him for the first time in at least ten years since locking her away, and then proceeds to hex-attack him. Later in the episode "The Toad, the Witch and the Wardrobe", Wanda still has less than kind words to say as she calls out Magneto again when he captures her and attempts to reconcile their relationship.
* ColorCharacter: Red. In both her civvies and battle uniform, Wanda wears red and black clothing and the bottom layer of her hair is dyed red. She wears dark-red eyeshadow makeup, lipstick, and nail-polish, and her codename is '''Scarlet''' Witch.
* ComicBookFantasyCasting: Her appearance is heavily based on that of Creator/FairuzaBalk in ''Film/TheCraft.''
* CurbStompBattle: In her first appearance, she absolutely ''devastated'' the X-Men.
* CuteAndPsycho: Voracious, hair-trigger temper? Check. Adorable? Also check.
* CuteWitch: Her mutant powers? Hex powers or magic? Or mutant powers that let her ''tap into magic''? Also she's a pretty raven-haired girl. No matter which, she qualifies.
* DaddyIssues: She is a pretty angry girl, with some major daddy issues.
%%* DarkMagicalGirl
* TheDreaded: Due to her highly destructive powers and her unstable mental state, there is not a single character in the show who does not fear Wanda.
* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: She has black hair and pale skin, in keeping with her witchy gothic aesthetic. She also has an offputting & unstable demeanor, with even her own family being wary of her, and has very powerful and frightening mutant abilities.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: When she finds Nightcrawler in the Brotherhood's house, Wanda prepares to attack him, but stops and lets him leave once he explains he just wants his mother's petrified body.
* FakeMemories: [[spoiler:Had these implanted by Mastermind - he basically replaced every bad memory she had of Magneto with good ones]].
* ForYourOwnGood: Magneto's reasoning for leaving her. He didn't have the skills or means to help her control her powers, so he abandoned her in an institution, where she would eventually start having therapy sessions with Xavier.
* FriendlyEnemy: While friendly may be too generous a word, and she still treats them with either aggression or apathy, she tends to be more open to accepting help from and returning help to the X-Men than the rest of the Brotherhood,
* {{Goth}}: Her fashion style gives off a very strong Hot Topic vibe, even more so than Rogue.
* GothGirlsKnowMagic: She's the most gothy girl in the cast, and her [[WindsOfDestinyChange hex bolts]] are highly reminiscent of magic.
* HairTriggerTemper: Wanda's temper has caused almost every character she's confronted [[TheDreaded to fear her.]]
* ImportantHaircut: After her training with Agatha Harkness, Wanda cuts her [[MessyHair wild, unkempt shoulder-length hair]] to a [[BoyishShortHair closely cropped hairstyle]]. The haircut seems to symbolize as her being more focused and determined to start her [[RoaringRampageofRevenge revenge]] against her father.
%%* LaserGuidedAmnesia
* MagicalGesture: Wanda must have free usage of her hands in order to use her probability-altering powers, as she uses a lot of hand gestures and finger motions to channel them.
* MindOverMatter: She can generate psychokinetic force through her hexes, allowing her to move and control objects.
* MindRape: [[spoiler: Magneto has Mastermind do this to her, replacing her bad memories with good ones so she believes Magneto was a loving father]].
* MissingMom: Her and Pietro's mother is never mentioned. It is possible she died shortly before Magneto sent Wanda away.
* NomDeMom: Has the surname of her mother, Magda Maximoff.
* OneManArmy: In her debut episode, she's able to single-handedly defeat all of the X-Men core members by herself, to where they retreat from the fight and she walks away unscathed.
* ParentalAbandonment: The source of her issues.
* PerpetualFrowner: Her default facial expression is either an angry scowl or bitter indifference. She has only ever smiled twice and both times were after [[spoiler:Mastermind had [[MindRape fiddled with her head]]]].
* PetTheDog: Wanda has a couple of these moments though all of them are after she has [[MindRape her memories rewritten]]. First, when Toad put his life on the line in order to rescue her from Magneto, she gave him a very genuine smile and 'thank you' for his efforts. Later in Season 4, when Nightcrawler reveals that the stoned Mystique is his mother, she immediately backs off from attacking him and leaves him in peace. And then, Wanda helps Kurt when he asks for her help in getting in contact with Agatha Harkness to try and revive Mystique.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Wanda spent much of her introductory series searching for her father with her initial mission to kill him for wronging her. She does eventually find and attempt to kill him twice.
* SanityStrengthening: [[spoiler:Ironically, she became less psycho and more kind and helpful towards others after Mastermind messed with her head]].
* SuperpowerLottery: On top of being a RealityWarper, Wanda can fire energy hex blasts from her hands; make objects combust and explode; has limited telekinetic abilities; and can interfere with other mutants' powers, enabling her to either take them away or make them go haywire. This makes her more than a match for all of the X-men combined, and she manages to wipe the floor with them both during her first appearance and in the second episode of season 4.
* TheUnfavourite: Magneto always chooses Quicksilver over her. This is part of the reason why she hates her brother.
* WildCard: She is part of the Brotherhood, but only so she can get revenge on Magneto, and only fights the X-Men when she has to (and the first time she does so is at Mystique's manipulation). In Season 4, she's pretty much the TokenGoodTeammate of the group, being horrified when her powers cause an accident that nearly gets innocent people killed. And in the GrandFinale, she's the only one of the Brotherhood (at first) to join the X-Men in fighting Apocalypse and his horsemen.
* WindsOfDestinyChange: Her mutant ability to harness and manipulate the force of probability.

[[caption-width-right:320:''"And now the whole world will know of us."'']]

-->'''Codename:''' Characters/{{Ma|rvelComicsMagneto}}gneto
-->'''Real Name:''' Erik Magnus Lehnsherr
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ChristopherJudge [[labelnote:Foreign [=VAs=]]]Patrick Descamps (FR)[[/labelnote]]

The mysterious Magneto is one of the most powerful mutants alive. He has a long history with Charles Xavier, both as a friend and an enemy. Magneto has given up on the idea of peaceful co-existence between mutants and humans. His philosophy is in direct opposite to that of Xavier, who still believes mutants and humans can live together in relative peace. Magneto envisions himself and other mutants dominating over humanity as the only way to prevent bloodshed between the two groups. However, Magneto's dream is threatened by Apocalypse who has his own plans for world domination.
----
* AffablyEvil: You can't ignore the fact that, as always, there is a certain charm to Magneto. And he tends to be quite friendly, unless you are a regular human or go against his plans.
* AmbiguouslyJewish: In the episode "Operation: Rebirth", Wolverine rescues a young Erik from a WWII German controlled camp. Although it was not named in the episode, it was clearly a Nazi concentration camp. Magneto in the comics is famously a Jewish Holocaust survivor, though whether he's still Jewish here is neither confirmed nor denied.
%%* AntiVillain
* BadBoss: He treats all those who work under his poorly and keeps them in line with either threats or blackmail.
* BadassCape: The Master of Magnetism rocks an imposing purple/red cape in this incarnation.
* BadassLongcoat: Magneto typically wears a long black coat in civilian attire, such as his appearance in "On Angel's Wings" and in Wanda's childhood flashbacks.
* BigBad: He is the central antagonist of the first two seasons and remains a villain for the next two, but his position as the main threat is usurped by [[spoiler:Apocalypse]].
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: In the final season, he [[spoiler:is defeated by Apocalypse and turned into one of his Horsemen]].
* TheChessmaster: He orchestrated the unveiling of mutants to the entire world by using the X-Men, the Brotherhood and Bolivar Trask's Sentinel Project.
* CoolHelmet: Wears his famous-telepathy-blocking helmet, making Magneto difficult to control or impossible to find.
* DaddyHadAGoodReasonforAbandoningYou: He claims that he truly loves Wanda, and that her being sent away was for her own good since she was a danger to others and herself. Since the slightest irritation could make her set of an earthquake, it isn't hard to see where he comes from.
* DoUntoOthersBeforeTheyDoUntoUs: His motive is to wipe out humanity before they can do the same to mutantkind.
* EvilSoundsDeep: Courtesy of his VA.
* TheFaceless: His face always appears shadowed by his helmet in Season 1, until the double-episode season finale.
* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:In the future Xavier saw, Magneto is shown as an X-Man, helping the new recruits in the Training Room]].
* ImprovisedWeapon: As long as it's metal, Magneto's powers let him use anything as a weapon.
* IOweYouMyLife: After regaining his youth, he lets Wolverine and Rogue leave without a fight, saying that "there's a small boy in Poland who owes you [Logan] his life." A previous flashback in the episode showed Wolverine and Captain America saving a young Eric from a concentration camp in WWII.
* ItsAllAboutMe: His motivation to bring down Apocalypse is fueled by his desire to be the only one to lead the mutants to a better world and no one else is going to rule the world with him around.
* KarmaHoudini: He not only attempted to murder all humans and make mutants the dominant species, and then publicly revealed the existence of mutants to the world which led to most mutants suffering discrimination and harassment from humans, but was also an incredibly [[AbusiveParents abusive father]]. He manipulated his son, constantly putting him in danger to further his schemes, and [[MindRape Mind Raped]] his daughter [[FakeMemories into believing he was a caring and loving father to her]] after he left her at an abusive asylum when she was just a child, which left her an extremely [[WoobieDestroyerofWorlds violent]] and [[BrokenBird emotionally unstable girl]] prior to the MindRape. At the end of the series, in a [[WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue Where Are They Now]] sequence, [[spoiler: he's revealed to have been redeemed and evidently becomes a teacher at Xavier's school]] with few to no repercussions for his actions.
* KnightOfCerebus: Brought upon the first of many dark arcs in this series, and managed to also cause a dark shift in the overall plot at the end of the second season.
* {{Leitmotif}}: A quiet, ominous theme with a piano which crescendoes in and out.
%%* ManipulativeBastard
* MarkOfTheBeast: [[spoiler:He receives blue markings similar to those of Apocalypse when he "recruits" him as one of his horsemen]].
* MythologyGag: His face being obscure by darkness is based on how Onslaught is depicted.
* NobleDemon: He only wants to protect his people and sees a war between mutants and humans as inevitable so he wants to strike first. He may even have a point or two about this, he just can't resist going several steps too far.
* NotQuiteFlight: He can fly or levitate by using the Earth's magnetic field.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Statements about his age would put him at least in his 60s or 70s, but he appears much younger than that. Exaggerated once he uses ComicBook/CaptainAmerica's SuperSoldier apparatus to make himself younger.
* ParentalNeglect: He [[ZigzaggingTrope zigzags]] between this trope in his relationship with his children, Pietro and Wanda.
%%* SelectiveMagnetism
* TeamMemberInTheAdaptation: [[spoiler:Unlike the comics, where he was no ties to the Horsemen, Apocalypse forcibly conscripts him to be one of them]].
* TruerToTheText: Magneto in the comics is famously a Jewish Holocaust survivor, but in [[WesternAnimation/XMenTheAnimatedSeries the original animated series]], his backstory was [[{{Bowdlerise}} Bowdlerised]] to a refugee from a war in a [[{{Ruritania}} generic unnamed Eastern European country]]. In this series, Wolverine rescues a young Erik from a WWII German controlled camp. Although it was not named in the episode, it was clearly a Nazi concentration camp.
* VisionaryVillain: Magneto wants only to prevent mutantkind from undergoing the same persecution he did in WWII. So he creates a satellite for mutants, Asteroid M.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: As usual for Magneto, his goals are entirely for the benefit of mutantkind. His methods, however, put him in direct conflict with the X-Men, who want mutants and humans to live in harmony, while Magneto wants mutants to reign supreme over humanity.
* WouldHurtAChild: He's implied to be responsible for Kurt's physical appearance, by having experimented on him as a newborn - though the context suggests that he was trying to help him look ''more'' human.

-->'''Codename:''' [[Characters/MarvelComicsSabretooth Sabretooth]]\\
'''Real Name:''' Victor Creed\\
'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MichaelDonovan [[labelnote:Foreign [=VAs=]]]Robert Guilmard (FR)[[/labelnote]]

A violent man who has a deep enmity against Logan. Little is revealed about Sabretooth's past except that he had some involvement with Wolverine and the Weapon X project (possibly being a test subject), and that he is one of Magneto's most loyal followers.
----
* AbsurdlySharpClaws: More like sharp nails.
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: While this Sabertooth is still psychotic, morally reprehensible self, he's fanatically loyal to Magneto for some strange reason as with most adaptations. In contrast, the comic Sabretooth would be unable to stand working with him for more than a few hours before stabbing him in the back.
* AnimalThemedSuperbeing: With saber–toothed cats as the animal in question.
* ArchEnemy: To Wolverine.
* AxCrazy: Has a bloodlust that only mindless battle seems to satisfy. And unlike [[GoodCounterpart Wolverine]], he fully embraces his feral instincts.
* BadassLongcoat: His design features a long brown tailcoat with tattered edges and the sleeves torn off.
* BarbarianLonghair: Sabretooth has a long, unkempt blond mane.
* BeastMan: He has a very hirsute physique with a [[BarbarianLonghair long and wild hairstyle]] along with sharp fangs and claws that don't seem to be retractable. He is also capable of lion-like roars and growls.
%%* BigOlEyebrows
* BloodKnight: He really loves to fight.
* TheDragon: To Magneto in the first two seasons.
%%* EvilCounterpart
* HealingFactor: Less powerful than Wolverine's, but still more than sufficient.
* LightningBruiser: This is a big part of why he's so dangerous. He's massively strong, but he's also extremely quick and has superhumanly efficient joints and musculature that provides him with agility and grace that is far beyond what any normal human can pull off.
%%* NaturalWeapon: His claws and fangs.
* PsychoForHire: He was depicted as a loner in the first season, but from the first season's finale onward he is almost never seen without Magneto and he's shown to willingly perform tasks for him. Although once Magneto gets axed off by Apocalypse, Sabertooth vanishes without a trace. So it's more than likely he sees serving Magneto as a convenient way to further his own agenda.
%%* ScarilyCompetentTracker
* TeamMemberInTheAdaptation: The first season was in development before his comic counterpart joined the Brotherhood and he was never a member of the Acolytes.

-->'''Codename:''' [[Characters/MarvelComicsGambit Gambit]]\\
'''Real Name:''' Remy [=LeBeau=]\\
'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AlessandroJuliani [[labelnote:Foreign [=VAs=]]]Mathieu Moreau (FR)[[/labelnote]]

Trained as a thief, Gambit is a mercenary who will give his services to the highest bidder. He appears to have developed quite the soft spot for Rogue, especially during the season four episode, "Cajun Spice", in which he gives her his favorite card (the Queen of Hearts, his "lucky lady") at the end.
----
* AdaptationalVillainy: Gambit was at least a heroic GentlemanThief in the comics (despite his start as an UnwittingPawn for Mister Sinister), while here he's described as 'amoral' and only caring of personal gain but with a soft spot, turning him from an AntiHero into an AntiVillain.
* ArtEvolution: Gambit appeared with normal eyes (brown iris and white sclera), which were later modified into how they look in the comics (red iris and black sclera).
* BadassLongcoat: Part of his wardrobe along with fingerless gloves.
* TheCharmer: In comics, Gambit has a secondary mutation called "hypnotic charm" that allows people to fall under his charm- but only those who don't realise what he's doing. It's implied that he does have this ability when Gambit first encounters Rogue in "Day of Reckoning Part 2" as she's completely spellbound by him. But when in future episodes, Rogue definitely isn't as mesmerized by him as she was the first time.
* CurbStompBattle: Handles Toad, Avalanche, and Blob all at once with no trouble.
%%ZCE* DeadpanSnarker: His every other line qualifies as this.
* DeathDealer: Like his comics counterpart, he favours cards as weapons.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: In "Cajun Spice", Gambit makes no secret about his allegiances and plays Rogue to get her help, but he's out to save his father. He doesn't even like his father (or vice-versa), but he just can't let him die.
* GentlemanThief: He affects the mannerisms of a SouthernGentleman, and for a given value of 'lovable', qualifies.
* TheGambler: He energizes playing cards to explode on impact and tosses them with precision at his targets. He could use anything if he felt like it, but playing cards are both convenient and stylish. Also his fondness for cards and gambling isn't just for show. He has both a sleight of hand and has indulged in card games on occasions.
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: His eyes have been known to give off red energy when he's intended to look particularly badass.
* HavingABlast: He has a power to turn any object he touches into a bomb, as small as a playing card or as big as a car.
* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler: Shown post-series to where he eventually joins the X-Men]].
* ImprobableWeaponUser: Gambit's power works by inducing objects with kinetic energy. This not only makes these objects explode but also allows them to be propelled like a missile. He has weaponized playing cards, small change, beer cans, a parking meter, curtains, a beaded necklace, pencils, an overturned bus, and a speedboat.
* TheKindnapper: He kidnaps Rogue with her happiness [[spoiler:or so he says]] in mind.
* NotEvenBotheringWithTheAccent: Gambit lacks his Cajun accent most of the time, but he ''does'' put an accent on whenever he speaks French, likely because he's trying to invoke EverythingSoundsSexierInFrench.
* OnlySaneMan: During the search for Apocalypse, he gets between Magneto and Colossus during their fight and reminds them that they have bigger concerns at the moment.
%%* RaginCajun: Like his canon counterpart.
%%* StickyFingers
* StuffBlowingUp: He touches things, and they explode.
* TechnicolorEyes: He has red irises with black sclera.
* TeamMemberInTheAdaptation: He wasn't a member of the Acolytes in the comics.

-->'''Codename:''' Colossus
-->'''Real Name:''' Piotr Rasputin
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MichaelAdamthwaite [[labelnote:Foreign [=VAs=]]]Olivier Cuvellier (FR)[[/labelnote]]

Piotr is pressured into serving Magneto, who had abducted his family.
----
* AdaptationalHeroism: Granted, Piotr ''was'' in the Acolytes briefly during ''ComicBook/{{Fatal Attractions|MarvelComics}}'' and its aftermath, but that was willing on his part due to Illyana dying from the Legacy Virus resulting in a crisis of faith with Xavier and his dream of coexistence, and that he would rejoin the X-Men's side. Here, he's forced into joining the group due to Magneto kidnapping his family.
* AdaptationalVillainy: Unwillingly. In the comics, he's a member of the X-Men from the start. Here, he works for Magneto, albeit only through coercion, though as mentioned, this is combined with AdaptationalHeroism as his comic counterpart's counterpart brief tenure with the Acolytes was willing (due to a crisis on faith) on his part. [[spoiler:However, Xavier's vision of the future X-Men lineup includes him as well, making this a subversion.]]
* AntiVillain: A type-4. The only reason he even works for Magneto is to protect his family.
* ApologeticAttacker: When Wolverine asks him why he fights for Magneto, he becomes melancholy and quietly says that it wasn't his choice.
* BewareTheQuietOnes: Colossus is not a talker and seems quite emotionally detached. However, it wouldn't go well for anybody who truly angers him.
* {{Blackmail}}: Colossus is pressured into working for Magneto, who has [[spoiler:abducted and threatened to kill his family]] if he doesn't.
* TheBrute: Co-Brute with Pyro.
* ChromeChampion: He can transform at will from a normal (though fairly large and muscular) flesh-and-blood human to what the comics refer to as "organic" osmium steel, giving him an added layer of SuperToughness.
* TheDogBitesBack: He finally has enough of Magneto's abuse during the search for Apocalypse and reverts to his non-metal form, effectively neutralizing Magneto's greatest advantage over him and easily manhandling him until Gambit reminds them that Apocalypse is the higher priority.
* ElementalShapeshifter: Colossus can transform his body into organic metal.
* ForcedIntoEvil: He's working for Magneto solely because [[spoiler:his family was kidnapped]].
-->''I am not a lackey! I... I have no choice.''
* GentleGiant: He's huge and a fundamentally gentle person.
* GoodAllAlong: He's a member of Magneto's Acolytes. In his second appearance, it is revealed during a confrontation between him and Wolverine that he is a reluctant member of the group and Magneto has blackmailed him into joining. In subsequent appearances, Colossus is consistently portrayed as the most sympathetic member of the Acolytes and is the first to abandon the group after [[spoiler:Magneto is seemingly killed by Apocalypse.

* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:Post-series. He's shown in Xavier's vision of the future line-up of the X-Men]].
* HuskyRusskie: He's Russian, and very big and muscular even when he's not transformed.
* InstantArmor: Colossus can at anytime turn his entire body into steel.
* MonochromaticEyes: His eyes turn to a solid white when he changes into his steel-armored form.
* NighInvulnerability: His armored form is extremely hard to damage.

* RussianGuySuffersMost: The details aren't explicit, but Magneto keeps his loyalty by threatening his family.
* SleevesAreForWimps: His uniform is sleeveless, showing off his muscles and more of his transformation when using his power.
%%* SuperStrength: Colossus' strength doubles when in his steel form.
* SuperToughness: Being made of steel, this is only natural.
* TokenGoodTeammate: He serves as this to Magneto's Acolytes, in contrast with the far more vicious or bloodthirsty members of the team.

[[caption-width-right:320:''"Awful bold of you coming here, girl! Or are you just stupid?"'']]

-->'''Codename:''' Pyro
-->'''Real Name:''' John Allerdyce
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/TrevorDevall [[labelnote:Foreign [=VAs=]]]Olivier Cuvellier (FR)[[/labelnote]]

Pyro is a crazy pyromaniac with a cackling laugh and a broken Australian accent. He has an affinity for destruction and complete ignorance of consequence border on outright insanity. In one notable scene he is watching footage of Magneto's supposed demise at the hands of Apocalypse, rewinding, playing back, and laughing several times. He differs from his comic book counterpart in that he needs a constant stream of flame to sustain his power.
----
* AdaptationalJerkass: In the comics, while Pyro was a somewhat unstable and violence prone LargeHam, he was unfailingly loyal to his friends and eventually died a hero. Here, he is as much of a sociopath as Pietro.
* AdaptationNameChange: His name is changed from Saint-John Allerdyce to the Americanized John Allerdyce.
* AstonishinglyAppropriateAppearance: The appropriately flame-empowered Pyro has orange hair that sticks up, in what is a very classic use of this trope.
* AxCrazy: Whenever he's fighting someone, he has a grin on his face and is enjoying the mayhem that he's causing.
* TheBrute: Co-Brute with Colossus.
* ElementalHairColors: His hair is orange and spiky, fitting for a guy who can control fire.
* ElementalPowers: His mutant abilities; namely, those of fire.
* EvilHasABadSenseOfHumor: Treats Apocalypse's utterly [[CurbStompBattle domination]] and seemingly killing of Magneto like his favorite sitcom joke, spending his downtime watching the recording of the confrontation and cackling about it like it's the funniest thing he's ever seen. He even derangedly muses that watching the clip always makes his frown "turn upside down."
* EvilLaugh: He practically laughs more than he talks.
%%* TheHyena
* JesusTaboo: His first name in the comics is St. John. The "Saint" gets dropped for the adaptation.
%%* LandDownUnder
* LaughablyEvil: He seems to communicate exclusively through a combination of [[EvilLaugh maniacal laughter]] and [[LamePunReaction lame puns]].
%%* LeanAndMean
* PlayingWithFire: Pryo can control fire, but he can't create it himself. He often carries around his own portable flamethrowers to do the job for him.
* PsychoForHire: He's an eccentric and crazed thug, who willingly perform tasks for Magneto, though he clearly does it for the thrill more than any actual payment or respect for his boss. But that doesn't stop him from having a good laugh at the prospect of barbecuing his victims.
* PyroManiac: A more subdued version, but there were times when he showed just how much he relished setting things aflame.
* SixthRanger: [[spoiler: Joins the Brotherhood in the future]].
* TeamMemberInTheAdaptation: His comic counterpart was never a member of the Acolytes.

-->'''Voiced by:''' Campbell Lane

He's the gang's telepath. While his comic book counterpart could only cast illusions, this version of Mastermind uses telepathy, as well as reading and even rewriting memories of other people.
----
* AdaptationalSuperpowerChange: This version of Mastermind is also capable of telepathy unlike in the comics where he could ''only'' cast illusions.
%%* EvilBrit
* {{Gonk}}: His face resembles a monkey.
%%* HotBloodedSideburns: Nice chops there.
* MasterOfIllusion: His speciality is conjuring up telepathic illusions to fool his opponents.
* NonActionGuy: He spends most of his screen time being at the sidelines as he's only ever really around when assisting Magneto with his psychic abilities, mostly for intelligence gathering.
* SquishyWizard: Probably the most physically vulnerable of the Acolyte members, having no physical powers or weapons of any kind.

-->'''Codename:''' [[Characters/MarvelComicsApocalypse Apocalypse]]
-->'''Real Name:''' En Sabah Nur
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/DavidKaye [[labelnote:Foreign [=VAs=]]]Martin Spinhayer (FR)[[/labelnote]]

Apocalypse is an ancient Egyptian mutant; he's the oldest character on the show, and also the most powerful. Millennia ago, he conquered Egypt and planned to use advanced technology (stolen from the previous Pharaoh, who had "[[AncientAstronauts descended from the sky]]") to reshape the world in his own image- turning many humans into mutants, and killing the rest. His court balked at the idea and [[SealedEvilInACan used his own technology to imprison him]]; however, Apocalypse was still able to reach out telepathically and manipulate his release. Steals the spotlight from Magneto as premier villain in the later part of the series.
----
* AdaptationalBadass: This version of the character may be the strongest, and he's slightly less evil.
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Downplayed, but regular Apocalypse is an utter monster. This version's a WellIntentionedExtremist who genuinely believes he knows what's best for humans and mutants alike.
* AdaptationPersonalityChange: Most versions of Apocalypse are enormously hammy, but this take on him is quiet and stoic.
* BaldOfEvil: He's big, blue, bad and totally bald.
* BigBad: Season 3 and especially in Season 4.
* ColdHam: His speeches are as dramatic as his voice is cold and stoic.
* ContinuityNod: Beast mentions that Apocalypse stole his tech from Pharaoh Rama-Tut. This is true in the comics as well, where Rama-Tut was an alias of Kang the Conqueror.
* CurbStompBattle: Practically every time he fights someone, it ends like this. There is one time when Storm gives him pause, but even that was brief.
* [[AliensSpeakingEnglish Egyptian Mutant Speaks English]]: Possibly justified when Xavier is communicating with him mentally, but later we see him speaking plain English even though he was sealed before the language even existed - though given that he's psychic, to one degree or another, he probably picked it up from his followers.
* FinalBoss: Due to the show's fifth season being cancelled and events only mentioned via psychic vision, Apocalypse becomes the final threat the X-Men have to deal with in the series.
* FreudianExcuse: Abandoned at birth due to his obvious mutations, adopted by a tribe of violent raiders who imparted their "only the strong are worthy" ethos that later became a defining element of his character, saw his entire tribe killed and also saw his adoptive father die in front of him not long after as a result of Rama Tut's attempts to find him and kill him... his formative years definitely weren't pleasant. He's still an absolutely vile being, but it's not hard to see how he became as awful as he is.
* KnightOfCerebus: He shifts the narrative to a much more dramatic tone once he appears, due to being the most powerful Mutant introduced in the series (to the point he [[TheWorfEffect effortlessly defeats]] Storm and Magneto), and his plan to convert the planet's humans into mutants would most likely result in at ''least'' half of the world's population dying.
* LightIsNotGood: He appeared as a divine glowing godlike pharaoh in his first appearance and his given name is associated with the light. He's a villain.
* MeaningfulName: His ''given'' name is translated as "The First One" - as he's the first mutant.
* MindControl: Pulled this on Storm, Professor X, Mystique, and Magneto to make them do his bidding as his Horsemen.
* PhysicalGod: He's basically untouchable, as long as he's aware and not occupied with something else.
** Putting it simply; he grabbed Rogue and drained power from HER, not the other way around.
* PowerFloats: Constantly. Seriously, you can count on one hand the number of times he stands on the ground.
* PowerGlows: When dressed as a Pharaoh, in a very clear case of LightIsNotGood. Also, see the TronLines all over his body.
* PoweredArmor: Advanced armor that enhances his already formidable superpowers and possibly granting him new ones.
* PsychicPowers: Telepathy and telekinesis. At the very least his psychic defenses are formidable enough to make even the likes of Professor X think twice about trying to read his mind.
* TheQuietOne: In contrast to [[LargeHam other versions of the character]], this one hardly ever speaks at all. It makes him all the more creepy.
* SealedEvilInACan: He was sealed in a sarcophagus below a pyramid many thousands of years ago.. Mesmero enslaves Rogue to use her abilities to free him.
* SmugSuper: It becomes apparent when he speaks to Xavier, all captivated by a smirk.
--> '''Apocalypse:''' Hmph. Since when has mankind ever known what it needs?
* StoryBreakerPower: He's nearly invulnerable, can fly, and has [[SuperPowerLottery an impressive list of abilities]]. He's strong enough that he defeated Storm and Magneto, two of the series' most powerful mutants, with very little effort.
* {{Technopathy}}: His PoweredArmor lets him interact with and take control of virtually any computer system that he wishes to.
* {{Telepathy}}: He possesses a very advanced form of it. Being so far above Professor X that the latter needs to use a fully tuned Cerebro just to get his attention.
* {{Teleportation}}: One of the abilities he has that's confirmed to be technological rather than biological in nature.
* TrainingFromHell: His entire childhood was basically this at the hands of his adoptive father Baal.
* VisionaryVillain: His plan was horrific in its scope and cost, but you can't deny the man has vision.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: He sincerely believes that what he's doing is best for humanity, and as mentioned above, he doesn't care if humanity doesn't agree with him.
* WorldsStrongestMan: The most powerful Mutant in the world, even moreso once he merged with the futuristic technology left behind by Rama-Tut. The first indicator we get of En Sabah Nur's power is that even while entombed and sealed behind three gates, he's still able to send out psychic signals that stump ''Xavier'', who acknowledges it to be the most powerful mind he's ever encountered. Once released he's shown to be so strong that the combined might of the [[EnemyMine X-Men and Brotherhood]] can't stand against him, including Magneto, Wolverine and Professor X. Apocalypse effortlessly wins every fight we see him involved in and can only be defeated by being locked back inside his sarcophagus.

-->'''Codename:''' Mesmero
-->'''Real Name:''' Unknown
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/RonHalder [[labelnote:Foreign [=VAs=]]]Pierre Bodson (FR)[[/labelnote]]

Apocalypse's servant; whether a mutant, a mystic, or something different is unknown, but he possesses psychic abilities that allow him to confront even Xavier on his own level. Believing himself to be a servant of destiny, he manipulated both the X-men and the Acolytes to steal the three keys to Apocalypse's prison, expecting to be rewarded by being made his right hand. Instead, upon gaining his freedom the ancient mutant withdrew his minion's powers and left him to his fate.
----
* AdaptationalBadass: A literal case of StrongAsTheyNeedToBe he might be, but this Mesmero (as Apocalypse's main acolyte) was overall much more threatening and menacing that the comic version.
* ArcVillain: Of Season 3, due to being the one who is trying to free Apocalypse.
* BaldOfEvil: Mesmero is bald, with arcane markings on his face and head. Much creepier than the original.
* TheDragon: To Apocalypse: while Mesmero is much weaker physically, he has the advantage of being able to move freely.
* EvilIsNotAToy: Which he learns when Apocalypse abandons him.
* HypnotizeTheCaptive: The first victim that he brainwashes is Jean Grey.
* MindRape: Mesmero introduces himself to the audience by turning a sleeping Jean's dreams into nightmares.
* PowerTattoo: Those green patterns on his face.
%%* PsychicPowers
%%* RedEyesTakeWarning
%%* SmugSnake
%%* SquishyWizard
* StrongAsTheyNeedToBe: Probably literally; whatever his own abilities, Apocalypse is clearly enhancing them, so that Mesmero's psychic strength varies from episode to episode depending on how much power Apocalypse is letting him use.
* VillainDecay: The X-Men easily capture him in his last appearance, due to him [[JustifiedTrope no longer being augmented by Apocalypse]].

[[folder:The Juggernaut]]

[[caption-width-right:320:''"What are you trying to do? Embarrass me to death? Come on, gimme your best shot!"'']]

-->'''Codename:''' Characters/{{Juggernaut|MarvelComics}}
-->'''Real Name:''' Cain Marko
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/PaulDobson

Charles Xavier's half-brother and most feared enemy. Unlike in the comics, he used mysticism to awaken his dormant X-gene giving him the mutant ability to be virtually invulnerable. Due to his destructive nature, Xavier was responsible for Juggernaut's incarceration in a maximum security prison which causes Cain to utterly despise his half-brother. Although Mystique has tried to form an alliance with Juggernaut, he will not remain loyal to anyone and will only follow his own agenda.
----
* AdaptationalSpeciesChange: The show split the difference in relation to the Juggernaut. Instead of being a full-blooded mutant (like in the movie) or a man given powers by a magic relic (like in the comics), Juggernaut was described as having a dormant mutant gene that he "awakened with mysticism".
* AdaptationalVillainy: He's much more heartless than in the comics. This incarnation derails a train in his first appearance and tries to murder Mystique [[EvilIsPetty for yelling at him]] even though [[UngratefulBastard she broke him out of prison]]. In his second episode, he tries to flood a village and kill thousands of people seemingly ForTheEvulz, something the original would never do.
* AttackItsWeakPoint: In The episode "Survival of the Fittest", this is what was led to a fight with the Juggernaut that consisted of the X-Men and Brotherhood working together to try to get his helmet off so Professor X could use his telepathy to stop him.
* CainAndAbel: The Cain to Xavier's Abel.
* CoolHelmet: Juggernaut has a huge helmet that protects him from PsychicPowers, which is very handy when your half-brother is the world's strongest telepath.
* DoingInTheWizard: He got his powers through mysticism like the comics, except it turns out the Gem of Cytorrak he used in them actually emits a form of radiation that activates and amplifies mutant powers.
* TheDreaded: Treated as this by Professor X in his first appearance, and rightly so. He is so afraid of him that he had Storm hide his movements from the police and the army, for their protection, not Juggernaut's. It took all X-Men including Wolverine and Storm, Professor X, the X-Mansion's defenses ''and'' the Brotherhood lending a hand to defeat Juggernaut the first time.
* EvilIsHammy: "I'M RAAAAW POWAAAARH!!!"
* EvilIsNotAToy: Mystique lets him out of jail to kill Xavier and hopes it will help her steal Cerebro. It might have worked fine if she didn't go [[BullyingTheDragon insulting him when he didn't obey her]].
* FreudianExcuse: It's not really fleshed out, but Charles states Cain hates him because much like the comics, he blames his brother for [[AbusiveParents how their father treated him.]]
* GenericDoomsdayVillain: In his second appearance, he doesn't have any real motive for anything he does and just wreaks random destruction for no apparent reason, not even mentioning Xavier despite killing him being his original goal in his first appearance.
* TheJuggernaut: As usual, there's very little that can stop him when he gets moving. He takes on the X-Men and the Brotherhood at the ''same'' time and keeps moving. He's only stopped by multiple psychic attacks from Xavier when they remove his helmet.
* LightningBruiser: He's huge, he's very strong, and he's much faster than his bulk would indicate.
* NameOfCain: Cain is his real name, and quite fittingly, he wants to kill his brother.
* NighInvulnerability: ''Nothing'' seems to have any ability to physically harm him.
* OneManArmy: When he first was released from prison by Mystique, Storm actually created a mass of fog to make sure that the police and the army could not find him, because Xavier was concerned about the army being in danger if they attacked him, not the other way around. From his second appearance, that was no an exaggeration. The police and the army were powerless against him.
* RelatedDifferentlyInTheAdaptation: Juggernaut and Xavier are changed from stepbrothers to half-brothers.
* SuperStrength: The most of any character in the series.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Gets tossed away by Rogue after draining his strength, followed by Iceman encasing him in ice as he's falling down into a dam and he isn't seen again.

[[folder:The Sentinels]]

[[quoteright:320:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/original_54.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:320:A Sentinel]]

Massive robots created by Bolivar Trask to hunt down and capture mutants. One was enough to provide an even match for the X-Men, Brotherhood, and Acolytes before eventually being taken down. More were built by S.H.I.E.L.D. to fight Apocalypse.
----
* AdaptationalBadass: Sentinels in most other continuities are more or less disposable {{Giant Mook}}s. The versions in this show are far more powerful and weaponized, to the point that the first ''prototype'' in the series is enough to give the X-Men serious trouble, and three completed variants are able to harm ''Apocalypse'' before being defeated.
%%* BackForTheFinale
* BrokeYourArmPunchingOutCthulhu: A trio of them were the first opponents to ''hurt Apocalypse'', which is something even Magneto failed to do. Unfortunately, he proceeded to rip them apart.
* TheCameo: In "Ghost of a Chance", courtesy of [[NightmareSequence Danielle's powers]].
* TheDreaded: They are revealed to be this to Xavier in the aforementioned episode, who has a nightmare where the military and dozens of Sentinels attack the mansion.

* MadeOfIron: The first Sentinel wouldn't stop fighting no matter what. A projectile from Spyke, Storm's lightning and a grenade tossed by Kurt wouldn't slow it down. It's his own missiles hurled back at him by Magneto that finally destroyed it.
* MoreDakka: Each one carries an enormous amount of firepower, enough to damage Apocalypse's pyramids and fight the Four Horsemen.

[[folder:Colonel Bolivar Trask]]

An ex-S.H.I.E.L.D. scientist who eventually left the organization to work on his own on what he viewed as the threat of mutantkind, eventually creating the Sentinels.
----
* AdaptationalBadass: The original Trask was essentially a scientist. Here, he is portrayed as having worked for S.H.I.E.L.D., a paramilitary organization, even holding the rank of colonel during that time, and leading his own team of agents.
* AdaptationalJobChange: Trask in the comics is an anthropologist, while in the show he is a military scientist.
* AdaptationalVillainy: Although the Trask from the comics was wary of mutants, he envisioned the Sentinels as defensive weapons who he lost control of. This version tests his prototype on Wolverine, and even sets it loose on a group of teenage mutants.
* FantasticRacism: Chronologically one of the first humans of the show to be openly hostile to mutants as a whole on the basis of what they are, and the first to take actions against them.
* VillainHasAPoint: During his conversation with Wolverine where he acknowledges that some mutants are indeed good, he also notes that regular people are still at risk of being casualties in the ongoing fight between heroic and villainous mutants. Considering how much damage the X-Men and the Brotherhood caused during their clashes in the first season (and how many students from their high school got close to being killed) it's hard to not see a point.

A witch doctor who once was worshiped by a small tribe of Kenyans. He reigned over the tribe until Storm drove him out, and was proclaimed the tribe's Goddess. Ten years later Hungan regained control of the tribe after Storm joined the X-Men, but sought revenge against her for being usurped initially. It is unclear if he is a mutant, relies on magic, or a combination of the two.
----
* AttackItsWeakPoint: He drains Storm's powers into his scepter by using her fears of claustrophobia against her.
* CanonForeigner: He does not have a comic book counterpart.
* GratuitousForeignLanguage: Kiswahili is used by Hungan, as well as by the members of the tribe he leads.
* ReligionIsMagic: Hungan is able to control Storm with his voodoo magic.
* TheResenter: He has always been jealous of Storm for having mutant powers that made her a literal goddess in their African village.
* MeaningfulName: Hungan's name is a Haitian term referring to the chief voodoo priest.
* MindControl: He captures Storm's soul into his scepter, giving him the ability to control her body and uses her to attack the X-Men.
* ATwinkleInTheSky: When Spyke manages to free Storm from his control, an enraged Storm hits him with a gust that knocks him into the sky. He is not shown coming down.
* WrongContextMagic: Unlike many characters he doesn't seem to be a mutant at all and uses voodoo magic, which isn't an element common to most ''X-Men'' media.

-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/DaleWilson [[labelnote:Foreign [=VAs=]]]Creator/TarusukeShingaki (JP)[[/labelnote]]

The second principal of Bayville High. He carried suspicions about the mutant teens which became full-blown prejudice when they were publicly revealed, causing him to make reforms at the high school. Later, he ran for mayor of Bayville competing with the falsely heroic Brotherhood for media attention, a nod to his career as a politician in the comics.
-----
* AdaptationNameChange: In the comics, his first name is Robert, but it's changed to Edward here.
* AssholeVictim: He gets threatened by the Brotherhood into leaving them out of his anti-mutant campaign in "No Good Deed". Considering that he's a bigot who treats mutants like crap (and also encourages others to do so), [[UngratefulBastard even when they save his life]], it's hard to feel any sympathy for him.
* DeanBitterman: He already had some of this on earlier seasons, but by the end if you happened to be a mutant on his campus, he turned it up a notch -- removal of any recognition you may have gotten through "cheating" with your mutant powers (even if said charging is wholly unfounded), treating you as if you had a disability (if not worse), looking the other way on BullyBrutality of mutant students, the works.
* DeathGlare: One of two ways he constantly looks at people, the second one being [[SmugSnake a smug sneer]].
* FantasticRacism: The man doesn't even try to disguise his hatred of mutants when they are publicly revealed, and pretty much looks down his nose at any of them every time he talks, even ones he used to consider ace students (like Jean Grey).
* FourEyesZeroSoul: Definitely if you're a mutant.
* FreudianExcuse: It's heavily implying that Edward Kelly used to be a more open-minded person, but when The Brotherhood attacked the school in the episode Growing Pains and when Professor X erased the memory of every person to school to keep the secrets of mutants, he failed to erase Edward Kelly memory because he blacked out. Professor X even wondered if he successfully erased Edward Kelly's memory. While not outright confirmed, that would explain some of his change in behavior in his first appearance when he makes a speech that every student has unique talents, to being anti-mutant when mutants are revealed to be public to make a speech about people having advantages over others in his last appearance. Seeing the Brotherhood recking havoc, seeing everyone else's memory being erased, and having to keep it a secret would have probably soured his opinions on mutants.
* HateSink: After Duncan, he's the most loathsome character in the show.
* MythologyGag: In one of the final arcs, he made mention of running for Mayor with an anti-mutant campaign focus.
* ProperlyParanoid: His hatred of mutants is universal, but maniacs like Magneto and Apocalypse do make clear there's some reality behind it.
%%* SinisterShades
* SuperRegistrationAct: The Mutant Registration Act, which he wishes to implement if he's elected mayor. [[WhatHappenedToTheMouse The series ends without showing if he's elected, let alone him implementing this]], and it is one of the things Xavier's future vision doesn't show.
* SmugSnake: That sneer he has in his profile picture is pretty much his standard expression, only change he does is moving his head so he'll be looking down his nose (literally) at mutants.
* TyrantTakesTheHelm: Whatever other flaws [[spoiler:Mystique may have had ([[EvilIsPetty because of being]] [[FemmeFatale Mystique]])]], she never (well, blatantly) exploited her rank as principal to make students' lives hell (not even Xavier's).
* UngratefulBastard: He doesn't show any gratitude towards the X-Men for saving him from the Brotherhood, instead talking about how he'll have all mutants thrown out of Bayville.

A jock who attends Bayville High and is Jean's first boyfriend for the first two seasons, until she breaks up with him at the beginning of the third season. He later starts terrorizing mutants.
----
* TheBully: Picks on numerous characters, especially Toad and Blob.
* CanonForeigner: He's a character original to the show.
* DecompositeCharacter: He is the replacement of Wolverine for being Cyclops's love rival for Jean Grey.
* {{Expy}}: As his relationship with Jean goes awry and his hatred of mutants grow, he starts to resemble a teenage version of Graydon Creed in both appearance and personality, to the point where he leads vicious Anti-Mutant hate crimes much like the Friends of Humanity.
* FantasticRacism: It's one of his defining traits from the third season onwards. He even refers to Jean's powers as a "problem" when trying to reassure her that he's okay with them, which leads to her breaking up with him. He only gets worse in the fourth season, as he leads witch hunts against mutants, even attempting to ''shoot'' a mutant child.
* HateSink: While the first two seasons merely depict Duncan as a bully, by the time season 3 rolls around and the identity of mutants are made public, the show pretty much made '''no''' attempt to redeem Duncan in any way, where he turns into a full-blown {{Jerkass}} who's willing to instigate a fight between the Xavier students who are forbidden from using their powers in public and promote hatred towards mutants, culminating in Duncan obtaining industrial-grade laser weapons in an attempt to hunt and kill mutants who did no wrong against him. Sure enough, ''nobody'' bats an eye towards his ultimate comeuppance [[spoiler: of being arrested and imprisoned for using illegal weapons in public]], and his absence in subsequent episodes will NOT be missed.
* ItsAllAboutMe: When trying to reconcile with Jean, he says that he's willing to overlook her "problem"... as it means that she can help him cheat on his tests.
* JerkJock: Duncan's the star football player at Bayville High and he often bullies those less popular and physically weaker than him.
** He antagonizes Scott whenever he can after the existence of mutants has been revealed to the public. One notable instance occurs after Jean breaks up with him.
** He gets worse by Season 4, as he starts terrorizing other mutant students.
* LaserGuidedKarma: He and his fellow bigots are taken into police custody after attacking mutants in "Uprising".
* NeverMyFault: He blames Scott for Jean breaking up with him, even though it was his insensitive remark about her powers that did it as mentioned under "Fantastic Racism" above. Scott even calls him out on it:
-->Yeah, blame it on me, lunkhead.
* RomanticFalseLead: To Jean. He is an alpha dog jerkass type, who played the BitchInSheepsClothing trope (while he made it clear he was a jerk, he treated Jean ''far'' nicer than he treats anyone else), and when they break up, lets just say he takes his jerkary to a whole new level.
* WouldHurtAChild: In "Uprising", he's about to ''shoot'' Leech, who's just a little boy who happens to be a mutant, forcing Spyke to [[TakingTheBullet take the energy blast]].

[[folder:Legion]]
-->'''Codename:''' Legion
-->'''Real Name:''' David Haller
-->'''Voiced by:''' Kyle Labine [[labelnote:Foreign [=VAs=]]]Nessym Guetat (FR)[[/labelnote]]

The son of Charles Xavier and Gabrielle Haller. He closely resembled his father, Professor X, and had inherited his psionic powers, but here Legion was also able to shapeshift between his various personalities. Originally, Comic!Legion's personalities developed due to mental disorders; in Evolution however they are manifestations of repressed feelings. David Haller, the "true" personality, though disappointed in his father's absence, holds no real hostility, and seems to have no discernible powers. The dominant personality, Lucas, a Scottish punk, demonstrates a hatred of Xavier and believes that he was abandoned in favor of other mutants. He has psychic abilities superior to Jean's (formidable by this point in the series) and even caused Professor X's attempt to suppress him to backfire. Finally, a young, mute boy named Ian possessed pyrokinesis, including the ability to create fire at will. His motivations remain unknown, but it seems he sided with Lucas.
-----
* AdaptationalWimp: This version of David has been reduced from one of the most powerful beings in the universe with thousands of powers and personalities to a very strong mutant with only pyrokinesis, telekinesis, telepathy, limited shapeshifting, and limited alternate-personality manifestation.
* AlternateIdentityAmnesia: As with real-life cases of DID, David has no memory of his alters' actions.
* AntagonisticOffspring: Not so much with David himself, who is only somewhat resentful of never knowing his father. But with Lucas, who wants to use Xavier's mind powers to free himself from the other alternates, and Ian, who supported Lucas in his plans, though likely without knowing his true intentions.
* BlessedWithSuck: Legion sure won the SuperpowerLottery... expect that ''David'', the core personality, can't use the powers that belong to his splinter personalities and seems to have no mutant powers of his own.
* CompositeCharacter: This version of David has several qualities in common with Typhoid Mary, a fellow mutant with multiple personalities and power. Like Mary Walker, David has several radically different primary personalities with access to his different mutant powers being divided among them. David takes the place of "Innocent Mary", the quiet and harmless personality with no access to their powers, Lucas takes the place of both "Typhoid" and "Bloody Mary", both of whom are quite hostile and violent in different ways, and Ian somewhat takes the place of "Walker", a more moderate personality compared to the others. David changing forms with each personality is similar to how each of Mary's personalities are so distinct that Daredevil's super senses register each of them as a different individual. When the other personalities were locked away and Lucas was left in full control, he is similar to Typhoid Mary, a much more stable fusion of Mary's main personalities with access to their collective skills and mutant abilities.
* CreepyChild: Ian.
* DisappearedDad: His father had no knowledge that he had a son with his ex-wife, Gabrielle.
* DoNotCallMePaul: Calling Lucas by his birth name David. Justified, though, as they really are separate personalities inhabiting the same body.
* EnemyWithin: Lucas started as one of the three personalities in the MindHive of David Haller and would both manipulate David himself and take control of their body...
* EnemyWithout: Then Lucas becomes this after having Xavier lock David and Ian's identities away and Lucas becoming the core personality of their body.
%%* FlipPersonality
* {{Humanshifting}}: David's mutation caused his dissociative identity disorder to actually manifest his two, alternate personalities, altering his body in a manner similar to shapeshifting. However, he always retains the same blond hair and blue eyes.
%%* MindOverMatter
* NotQuiteFlight: Lucas' telekinesis enables him to effectively fly.
* PlayingWithFire: Ian displays having pyrokinetic powers.
* PsychicPowers: His mutant powers are {{Telepathy}} and {{Telekinesis}} among other abilities.
%%* SplitPersonalityTakeover: Charles Xavier discovers he has a son in Scotland and goes to meet him, only for two other boys to enter the fray as well. These three boys (David, Ian, and Lucas) are all part of the same being
* SuperpowerLottery: Telepathy, telekinesis, shapeshifting, pyrokinesis...

-->'''Codename:''' Boom-Boom
-->'''Real Name:''' Tabitha Smith
-->'''Voiced by:''' Megan Leitch

Boom-Boom is a mutant with the ability to create explosive balls of energy. Her father took advantage of her mutant abilities to commit crimes when she was younger. She eventually found a home at the Institute, although her stay was short-lived. She found she fit in much better with the rebellious Brotherhood and liked having four boys she could manipulate and pull pranks on. She was kicked out of the Brotherhood when Mystique returned. She is later seem hanging out with the X-Men through her friendship with Magma, but never rejoins them and appears to live on her own. While not malicious, the lack of discipline and mischievousness made her a troublesome guest for anyone willing to take her in.
----
* AbusiveParents: Her dad is an ex-con who tries forcing Boom-Boom to help him with his robberies.
%%* ActionGirl
* BeneathTheMask: Tabitha is apparently cheerful and always tries to make people have fun. However, this is no doubt part of her efforts to disassociate herself from her own difficult childhood and parental issues.
* BlitheSpirit: She was this to the X-Men before she left.
* TheBusCameBack: For the finale.
* CivvieSpandex: [[spoiler:When she came back in the final fight against Apocalypse, she wore her Bayville Sirens outfit from "Walk in the Wild Side" compared to everyone else's as she was still unaffiliated with the X-Men and even the Brotherhood]].
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Tabitha is a carefree spirit with an adventurous and absent-minded nature. She's constantly labeled as an insane maniac.
-->'''Tabitha''': Nightcrawler, huh? That name's just not working for you, I'm sorry. Woah! I got it. How about "Wild Blue Yonder Boy"?
-->'''Kurt''': You ''are'' insane!
* CoolBigSis: A bit of one towards Amara.
* ADayInTheLimelight: "Bada-Bing Bada-Boom"
* FunPersonified: She views the world as a place needing to "lighten up" and she's just the little pied prankster to lead the way.
* GenkiGirl: With her high-energy, Tabitha is pretty lively as she's loud, playful and somewhat crazy.
* HavingABlast: Boom-Boom has the mutant ability to create energy 'time bombs' that can explode at will. She can control the size and the delayed release of these charges, allowing her quite a bit a diversity.
* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: Though she only really joined the Brotherhood while Mystique was MIA and they were mostly just being harmless mild jerks, and when push comes to shove, she's always on the right side.
%%* ItAmusedMe
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: While Tabitha's not malicious, her lack of discipline and mischievousness have made her a troublesome guest for anyone willing to take her in. She often plays practical jokes on the Brotherhood boys and abuses their hospitality, but she does have some PetTheDog moments.
* ManicPixieDreamGirl: She becomes this to the X-Men girls as she tries to get them to loosen up in what can only be described as an entire BigLippedAlligatorMoment episode.
* PetTheDog:
** When Blob and Toad complain about them not having dates for a party, she takes both of them as her dates.
** Also, her relationship with Amara.
* ThePrankster: Her usual mindset is basically that of a {{Troll}}. She uses one of her booms as a firecracker to scare Ray, Jubilee and Amara and then shaved off Blob's mohawk while he was sleeping, all the while laughing at their reactions.
* PrettyFreeloader: Her looks got her into the Brotherhood boarding house and kept her there no matter what stunt she pulled.
* StickyFingers: She pretty much took anything she wanted. She liked Lance's Jeep so much she "borrowed" it when she wanted, even after she left the Brotherhood.
* StuffBlowingUp: With Tabitha's kind of powers, you can expect a lot of collateral damage.
* TeamMemberInTheAdaptation: While she was part of the New Mutants in the comics, this version joined the Brotherhood after leaving.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Tomboy to Magma's Girly Girl. Tabitha is more bold, adventurous and loud, while Amara is more timid, sweet, and soft-spoken.

-->'''Codename:''' [[Characters/MarvelComicsLauraKinney X-23]]
-->'''Real Name:''' Unknown
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AndreaLibman (''X-23''), Brittney Irvin (''Target X'')

Trained from birth by HYDRA to become the ultimate weapon, X-23 underwent the same Weapon X modifications as Wolverine, being given his healing factor and adamantium bones and claws. She escapes, breaks into rival spy agency S.H.I.E.L.D. and researches the X Men, before stalking the students over the institute. She begins capturing all of them in a bid to lure Logan into a confrontation, believing him to be responsible for what was done to her. Logan convinces her that he, too, is a victim, before chasing her off so that Nick Fury wouldn't find her.\\\

She would later appear after HYDRA captures Wolverine, where the two would work together in a bid to survive as Logan tries to talk X-23 out of seeking revenge.
----
* ActionGirl: She took out ''all'' the X-Men save Wolverine, and only because he got her to see sense after she made him run for his life. Yes, she sent frakking '''Wolverine''' running.
* AmbiguouslyBrown: Despite being a clone of Wolverine who is white, X-23 has a much darker complexion, with features that have been interpreted as anything from Latina to First Nations. It's explained that the Wolverine DNA sample was incomplete, so Dr. Deborah Risman used some of her own DNA as well. The staff would later state that her features were based on those of the girl -- who is ethnic -- who modeled for the reference shoot as a thank-you.
* AntagonisticOffspring: Towards Wolverine in her first appearance. She blamed him for HYDRA getting the idea to put her through the Weapon X program. It's very much played as an angry daughter attacking her father.
* ArtificialFamilyMember: She is Wolverine's OppositeSexClone. During the two's battle, Wolverine commented on that the two were the only family they had. What kind of family relationship was never established but many fans assume it would evolve into a father/daughter one.
* BerserkButton: She gets very pissed if someone calls her a child or a kid, as it reminds her of the childhood she didn't have.
%%* BerserkerTears: Poor dear, who could blame her?
%%* BigBrotherMentor: Inverted, the younger X-23 tries to play this to Logan.
* BizarreSexualDimorphism: Her claw arrangement was intended to be this according to WordOfGod, with her foot claws specifically designed to be a trait of females with the same mutation as Logan. As described by Craig Kyle, the concept was that of a lioness; front claws for hunting prey, rear claws for self-defense.
* BrokenBird: HYDRA created her to be a weapon, robbing her of her childhood.
* CanonImmigrant: Her surprising popularity quickly brought her into the mainstream Marvel lineup -- albeit [[RaceLift as a very much Caucasian]] [[AdaptationDyeJob noirette]] [[AgeLift teenager]].
* CryIntoChest: At the end of her debut episode, she breaks down sobbing into Logan's chest after everything she's endured.
%%* ChildSoldiers
%%* DarkMagicalGirl: Despite her powers being ''not'' magical, her personality and backstory fit it to a T.
* DisneyDeath: She fakes her death blowing up HYDRA in a bid to evade S.H.I.E.L.D.
* GoneHorriblyRight: HYDRA sure got what they wanted alright, except she was so full of rage she would try and destroy them even before escaping. After she defeats Logan, X-23 intends to kill everyone working for them.
* GoodIsNotNice: After saving Logan in her second appearance, she interrogates him at claw point, before trying to force him to leave, whining that he hasn't healed and allowed a tracer to be placed on him, before trying to chase him off. This is all because she's scared he would be killed when she wipes out HYDRA.
* GuileHero: She outsmarts everyone: S.H.I.E.L.D. (breaking in and gaining information on the Institute,) Xavier (he finds her genuinely upset and allows himself to get close enough to be taken out,) the X-Men (the only one not taken out is Logan), HYDRA (she tries to fight Logan off from following her because she wanted to be captured so she could destroy them) and Logan himself (making him think she was on a suicide mission so that S.H.I.E.L.D. won't come after her).
* HealingFactor: Her mutation is implied to be more advanced than Logan's, as she starts complaining when he doesn't heal as fast as she does.
-->"Gimme a break kid, I started the morning by falling out of an airplane."
** This is usually explained as being because only her claws are laced with adamantium, as opposed to Logan's entire skeleton, so her healing factor isnt spending most of the time healing adamantium poisoning.
%%* HellbentForLeather
%%* HollywoodGenetics
* HumanWeapon: She was treated as such by HYDRA, which was a great deal of angst and resentment for her.
* IWillProtectHer: Turns out this was the reason she was so antagonistic towards Logan when she was being hunted. She didn't want him to be a target for HYDRA and didn't want to risk him dying when she destroyed HYDRA.
* IWorkAlone: She keeps shoving away Wolverine when he tries to help. Turns out it's not only because of the threat from HYDRA or SHIELD, but she intends to kill off HYDRA and Logan might get in the way.
* JuniorCounterpart: To Wolverine, with all the same powers. [[spoiler:She even joins the Future X-Men, taking Wolverine's place on the team.]]
* LaserGuidedTykebomb: HYDRA wanted to create the ultimate weapon based on Wolverine. They got more than that, a young girl who ends up bossing ''Logan'' about so he won't be caught up in her RoaringRampageOfRevenge.
* LittleMissBadass: She's even smaller than Wolverine but can take care of all the mutants on Xavier's school by herself.
%%* TheNoseKnows
* OppositeGenderClone: Of Wolverine. She has the same genes and powers as him, but she's a lot younger than him. Their age gap creates an IntergenerationalFriendship between them.
* PsychoticSmirk: Flashes one to Madame Hydra who did the experiments on her, after calmly setting explosives that will kill them all.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Because of the terrible life she had been living up to that point, she mercilessly hunted down Wolverine, whom she blamed for having the genetic material that allowed her to exist. Once Logan got through to her, she began targeting HYDRA operatives, which led to her blowing up the organization's headquarters.
* ScarilyCompetentTracker: She acts stupid and antagonistic when on the run. Emphasis on ''acts,'' she had wiped out most of HYDRA and planned to get captured so she'd have a clear run at the supreme commander, or she would have had a clear run had she got Logan to leave her alone.
* TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: Implied. When infiltrating Jean's room, she acts girly with her teddy bear before showing a dislike to her perfume.
* WolverineClaws: As Wolverine's female clone, X-23 also has these - two metal claws per hand, and one per foot.
* YouAreNumberSix: X-23 was the only name she was ever given in her two appearances, but the writers stated that she would've been named Laura Logan.

Rogue's foster mother and a close confidante of Mystique's. Destiny seems to truly care for both Rogue and Mystique and usually only shows up when one or the other seems to be in danger. The history of the relationship between Mystique and Destiny has not been revealed, so how Rogue (Mystique's adopted daughter) came to be under Irene's care is still unknown. Although she is blind and unable to see, Destiny has the mutant ability to foresee future events before they happen.
----
* AgeLift: She is significantly younger than her elderly comics counterpart, who was frequently implied, and later confirmed in ''ComicBook/ImmortalXMen'', to be ''the'' Irene Adler from ''Franchise/SherlockHolmes'' ([[SamusIsAGirl with Mystique herself having been Holmes]]).
%%* AntiVillain: Much less actively malevolent than Mystique.
* BlindSeer: Irene has the ability to look into the future and she's blind.
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: She disappears in Season 3 without any mention. When she last appeared she tells Mystique that she'll be involved in a plot to bring back an ancient mutant, but by Mystique's next appearance, she's working with Mesmero to bring back Apocalypse without any mention or reason.
* DidntSeeThatComing: Irene explains her powers of future vision as seeing probabilities or pathways, and it seems she can be caught off-guard by outcomes she never considered possible, such as seeing that Rogue's mutant power would be PowerCopying via TouchOfDeath. This makes her take precautions with Rogue, telling her that she had a skin condition and must always be covered up. But Irene did not know ''when'' this power would manifest.
* MultipleChoiceFuture: Par for the course with her precognition, she can see the future but makes it clear that what she sees are probabilities, not set-in-stone facts.
* {{Precognition}}: Her mutant ability.
* SunglassesAtNight: Wears sunglasses during the day and at night, [[JustifiedTrope because she's blind]].

-->'''Codename:''' Forge
-->'''Real Name:''' Unknown
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/SamuelVincent [[labelnote:Foreign [=VAs=]]]Antoni Lo Presti (FR)[[/labelnote]]

Known only as Forge, in great contrast to his comic counterpart, is a Bayville High student and mutant inventor from the late 1970s who was trapped in a pocket dimension he called "Middleverse" for several years. Only when Nightcrawler found his way there and the X-Men found a way to free him did Forge return. While he rejected the offer to join the X-Men, claiming that he had nearly 30 years worth of catching up to do with his family, he still remained an ally of the X-Men. He later helped create a machine to test Nightcrawler's teleportation powers. He spoke with an outdated groovy, far-out slang, and had a mechanical multi-tool arm which transformed to suit whatever he needed and could even appear like a normal arm with the added mutant power to innately comprehend technology and build anything he can think of.
----
* ArtificialLimbs: He has a cybernetic right arm that transforms into a wide range of tools.
* DitzyGenius: He's energetic and brilliant, but somewhat foolish and lacking in foresight.
* GadgeteerGenius: Since it wasn't badass enough for Forge to be able to whip up any manner of AppliedPhlebotinum you can possibly imagine, he also given the ability to transform his arms into any imaginable tool to help him make his creations.
* MrFixit: His mutant ability helps him build machines by simply imagining what they should do, rather than working out the pesky details.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: His real name is not revealed.
* SwissArmyAppendage: Forge has a cybernetic arm that transforms from a normal human-looking one to a big cannon to whatever else seems particularly plot-relevant at the time.
* TechnoWizard
* TotallyRadical: Justified as he was literally caught in a timeless limbo since the mid-seventies, and sounds just "groovy".

-->'''Codename:''' Havok
-->'''Real Name:''' Alex Masters
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MattHill [[labelnote:Foreign [=VAs=]]]Sébastien Hébrant (FR)[[/labelnote]]

Cyclops's younger brother who was long believed to be dead as Alex was separated from his brother after escaping the plane crash. He was adopted by the Masters family and he was later reunited with Scott. Unlike the other X-Men animated series, Scott and Alex do develop a bond, although he still declined full-time membership in the X-Men to pursue a career as a professional surfer.\\\

The Summers brothers have very similar mutations. But where Scott's blasts are focused from his eyes, Alex is able to fire them off from his hands.
----
* AdaptationalSuperpowerChange: Alex manifests his powers here as simple red energy {{hand blast}}s rather than as the massively powerful circular power signature from the comics.
* AdaptationNameChange: In the series, he was adopted by the Masters family rather than the Blanding family as in the comics.
* AdaptationPersonalityChange: Comic!Alex is a hot-blooded rebel with an inferiority complex regarding Scott which often fuels the many conflicts the two have. Evo!Alex is a more laid back guy who gets along pretty well with Scott.
* BackForTheFinale: He aids the X-Men in the defeat of Apocalypse and his Horsemen in the Season 4 finale.
* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: The Foolish to Scott's Responsible. Alex's recklessness and immaturity contrasts with Scott's more controlled and mature nature.
%%* HandBlast
* IJustWantToBeNormal: He turns down an offer to join the X-Men, preferring to stay in Hawaii and become a professional surfer.
* LongLostRelative: He is Scott's long-lost brother, who was separated from him during a plane crash that killed their parents as children.
* RefusalOfTheCall: Decides to become a professional surfer rather than join the X-Men. He still keeps in touch with Scott though.
* SurferDude: He is portrayed as a stereotypical long haired surfer - even with the stereotypical surfer accent and vernacular.

* TotallyRadical: Speaks in this.

-->'''Codename:''' [[Characters/MarvelComicsAngel Angel]]
-->'''Real Name:''' Warren Worthington III
-->'''Voiced by:''' Music/MarkHildreth [[labelnote:Foreign [=VAs=]]]Bruno Bulte (FR)[[/labelnote]]

A young multi-millionaire who has a hard time adjusting to his mutation. He decided to become a lone vigilante, donning a costume and mask to perform heroic deeds in New York City, but stopped after his actions garnered negative attention from Magneto. Though he ultimately does not join the X-Men, he becomes allies with them. Eventually, Angel joins the X-Men in their concerted assault against Apocalypse, and in Xavier's glimpse of the future in the final episode, he's shown alongside the other X-Men.
----
* AdaptationalHeroism: Angel was always a hero in the comics, but he turned into a villain after being turned into Archangel in the 1980s thanks to Mystique. Here, he remains as Angel throughout the show's run.
* AdaptationalAngstDowngrade: Because he doesn't turn into Archangel, Worthington doesn't suffer from the events as Apocalypse doesn't use him as as one of his Four Horsemen in the finale.
* AdaptationalLateAppearance: In the comics, he was part of the team in the first issue when the X-Men were founded. Here, Worthington only appears after the X-Men were already formed in the second season and doesn't join the team.
* AlliterativeName: '''W'''arren '''W'''orthington
%%* AllLovingHero
* BackForTheFinale: Plays an important role in one episode each of the second and third seasons; then shows up for a few cameos in the series finale, first by assisting Kitty's team against Magneto, then amongst the other heroes as they pose for a group picture.
* DemotedToExtra: Was one of the original five X-Men in the comics, but is much less important here.
* {{Flight}}: His only mutation is his pair of wings, which allow him to fly.
* FriendToAllChildren: Warren certainly as a soft spot for children. He rescues a girl's wheelchair-bound mother from a burning building and a little girl named Hailee from a car accident over the Brooklyn Bridge. He feels overwhelming guilt for when Hailee is placed in a coma due to getting a serious case of hyperthermia from accidentally falling into a river (which he unintentionally caused). He frequently checks up on her while she's in the hospital and goes to a local church to pray for her and her family. Hailee does end up waking up though and both of the girls still admire and thank their "guardian angel".
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Angel's a very kind and good hearted person. He's introduced by using his powers to help people and refusing to join Magneto's team, even when he was blamed for an incident that caused people to shun him.
* PrettyBoy: He is a blonde-haired, blue-eyed man who looks like a model.
* TeamMemberInTheAdaptation: Inverted. Was one of the original five X-Men in the comics, but isn't a member here although its hinted he will join the group. Also despite one of the most notable things about the Warren of the comics having served as a Horsemen, he's never made one on the show.
* WalkingShirtlessScene: Due to his mutation, Angel is unable to wear regular outfits. He wears his red and blue uniform while on a mission, and a long coat that hides his wings when he needs to pass off as a normal human; but is shirtless during any other occasion.
* WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway: Angel's only power is having two large wings that enable him to fly. He does put them to creative use every so often, such as using them to generate a gust of wind that blows Gambit's explosive cards back at him, but is more often than not pretty worthless when it comes to actual fighting.
* WindFromBeneathMyWings: Angel uses his wings occasionally to generate gusts of wind in combat.
* WingedHumanoid: He's a mutant with a pair of huge white feathered wings.

-> ''"You're with the Morlocks, we understand you."''

The Morlocks are a secretive group of underground mutants whose mutations make them unable to live unnoticed on the surface. When the group first appears, their survival is being threatened as the waste from a sports drink being dumped into the sewers is unintentionally poisonous to mutants. To stop the dumping, they repeatedly break in to taint the batches and are aided by Spyke/Evan Daniels who was rescued after being poisoned. When his mutation starts to become more obvious, he chooses to stay and become their champion.\\\

In the fourth season they appear in a single episode where they are still living in the sewers trying to survive the anti-mutant uprising by staying hidden, but appear on the surface after being directly attacked by Duncan Matthews to defend themselves before returning to hiding.
----
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: Callisto. In the comics and most other depictions, she is ''extremely'' butch and is covered in scars, whereas here she's more feminine, despite her claims that she, like the other Morlocks, is too deformed by her mutation to be able to live above ground.
* AdaptationalHeroism: Callisto again. In her comics debut she was a sadistic bitch who abducted Angel and planned to keep him as her love-slave. Here, she's compassionate, even sweet, and ''did'' abduct Evan, but only to cure him of the poison he drank and offer him (with his newfound extra-spikiness) sanctuary.
%%* BadassLongcoat: Callisto.
* CanonForeigner: Facade, Lucid, and Torpid were all created for the series.
* ChameleonCamouflage: Facade's mutant ability allows him to blend into any environment and literally disappear into the background of it.
%%* CuteMute: Torpid.
* EyepatchOfPower: Callisto, of course.
* {{Hobos}}: An entire community of them who all live in the sewers of Bayville. This is justified by most of them having physical mutations that severely limit their ability to lead normal lives.
* KingOfTheHomeless: Callisto is the Morlocks leader.
* TheParalyzer: Torpid's power is this.
%%* PowerUpgradingDeformation
* PsychicRadar: Caliban's mutant ability; he can detect other mutants.

* AdaptationalDyeJob: Comic!Amanda had blonde hair, but Evo!Amanda has dark brown hair due to a RaceLift.
* AdaptationalSuperpowerChange: Unlike in the comics, she has no magical abilities whatsoever as she's a normal human.
* AffectionateNickname: Kurt calls her Liebchen (which is German for "sweetheart"[[note]]Actually an outdated term. "Liebling" would be more appropriate[[/note]]).
* BeYourself: She possesses a strong belief in standing by your friends and in a person simply being themselves.
* BeastAndBeauty: The Beauty to Kurt's Beast.
* FanOfUnderdog: She's portrayed as one of these, in regards to Kurt.
* FreakyIsCool: Not only is she okay with the way Nightcrawler looks, his appearance is what made her pursue him in the first place. After all, chicks dig the fuzzy dude.
* RaceLift: Her comics counterpart was originally blonde and very white. Here in the series, she becomes possibly Middle Eastern (or [[AmbiguouslyBrown a brown-skinned ethnicity]], anyway; it isn't apparent from dialogue or appearance, though she doesn't look quite like the series' black characters). The Lift is extended to her parents, naturally.
* SecretSecretKeeper: She briefly sees Kurt with his image inducer turned off and using his teleporting powers once. This increases her interest in him and she tries to pursue him romantically. She eventually reveals (during an emergency) that she knows about him, and then just becomes a regular SecretKeeper for the existence of the mutants until [[spoiler:TheMasquerade is broken]].

* AmbiguouslyBrown: She has a highly noticeable medium skin tone with wavy dark blonde hair and green eyes that would suggest she's either biracial, Latina, or Caucasian with just a heavy tan. WordOfGod also states that her features were based on those of the mother of the girl who modeled for X-23's character design. Makes sense as they both have medium-brown skin tones and green eyes.
* CanonForeigner: She was created specifically for the show but when the character X-23 was adapted into the mainstream Marvel Universe, Deborah Risman was replaced with a similar character named Sarah Kinney.
* ForScience: Deborah's entire motivation for joining Hydra and participating in their goal to create the perfect soldier is originally just a chance for her to experiment in genetics beyond the realm of conventional science and government allowance. She failed 22 times before succeeding with operative X-23, a female clone of the X-Men's Wolverine (formally operative Weapon X). Ultimately, Deborah [[HeelRealization comes to see how wrong her part in everything was]].
* HeelFaceTurn: She defects from Hydra to Nick Fury and S.H.I.E.L.D. because of the moral implications of the project while hoping S.H.I.E.L.D. can recapture X-23 before any harm is done.
* HeelRealization: She helped Hydra create the perfect soldier, X-23. When she realized that HYDRA couldn't control X-23 and growing to care for her, Deborah defected to S.H.I.E.L.D.

A goth-punk girl from Manchester, England who become fast friends with Rogue in Season 2.

* BitchInSheepsClothing: At first, she appears to be a kind girl who genuinely enjoys Rogue's company. As it turns out, [[spoiler:her true form is Mystique, whose true intention was to infiltrate the X-Mansion and destroy it from the inside]].
* CanonForeigner: Subverted. She appears to be a character created for the show, when in reality [[spoiler:she is just Mystique in disguise]]. She does, however, bear some resemblance to [[Characters/MarvelComicsPsylocke Psylocke]].
* DelinquentHair: Her hair is dyed purple and styled in an undercut. It adds to her "goth-punk" image.
* EyeColourChange: [[spoiler:Exaggerated. Sometimes when no one is looking, Risty's hazel eyes change back into Mystique's cat-like ones, complete with the [[GlowingEyesOfDoom glowing yellow]]]].
* FreakyFashionMildMind: Her outer appearance is of a punk-goth girl but Risty has a very amiable and upbeat demeanor.
* TheMole: [[spoiler:Risty is actually Mystique's alternate persona which she uses as a cover to get inside the mansion and obtain data files of the X-Men and the Scarlet Witch]].
* NiceGirl: She's kind and chipper to basically everyone. [[spoiler:Subverted in that it's just an act so she can get close to Rogue without raising any suspicions.]]
* PerkyGoth: She's the cheerful and friendly foil to Rogue's dark and moody goth.

[[folder:Captain America]]

-->'''Codename:''' [[Characters/MarvelComicsSteveRogers Captain America]]
-->'''Real Name:''' Steve Rogers

The legendary SuperSoldier from UsefulNotes/WorldWarII who fought the Nazis and [[Characters/MarvelComicsHydra HYDRA]] in the name of freedom.
----
* AdaptationalContextChange: In the comics, he wound up frozen after falling from Baron Zemo's exploding rocket. Here, Cap was put on ice to save his life.
* CaptainPatriotic: The TropeCodifier himself.
* CompositeCharacter: Steve being put on ice due to a flawed version of the super-soldier serum make him one with the 50's Cap William Burnside, who was put in suspended animation due to his own flawed version of the serum.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: Since this series predominately centers around the ComicBook/XMen corner of the Franchise/MarvelUniverse, Steve is noteworthy for being an unrelated superhero who obviously had his own adventures back in the day, only tangentially connected to them by his friendship with Logan.
* HeroicBuild: Justified. He has a rather impressive physique because the [[SuperSerum Super Soldier Serum]] turned him into the peak of physical perfection.
* HumanPopsicle: [[spoiler:Is currently in stasis until they can find a cure for the part of the Super-Soldier Serum that is slowly killing him]].
* MilitarySuperhero: A costumed hero who fought for the U.S. Army on the front lines of WWII.
* SuperSoldier: Infused with a genetic formula that brought him to peak physical condition. [[spoiler:Unfortunately, that same formula is slowly killing him.]]
* ThrowingYourShieldAlwaysWorks: Cap's signature attack is just as present here as it always is.
* TheVoiceless: He never speaks.

-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/DavidHayter

* HeelFaceTurn: Subverted. [[spoiler:Xavier has a vision of the Brotherhood and Pyro forming the Freedom Force in the future, but then sadly states that "some people never change".]]

* AdaptationalNiceGuy: While this Sabertooth is still his [[SarcasmMode ever lovably]] psychotic, morally [[WouldHitAGirl reprehe]][[WouldHurtAChild nsible]] self, he's fanatically loyal to Magneto for some strange reason as with most adaptations. In contrast, the comic Sabretooth would be unable to stand working with him for more than a few hours before stabbing him in the back.

* WouldHurtAChild: When the Brotherhood has enough and tries to quit working for Magneto, Gambit convinces them otherwise by threatening to blow up Toad.

* PrettyBoy: Kurt is very attractive with or without his disguise, although he falls more on the "cute" side. With his elfin features, they reflect his adorable personality, and the impression Nightcrawler leaves on viewers is that he's a cute blue elf rather than a freaky blue demon.
