* AdaptationalBadass: In the comics the extent of Reyes's mutant power is she can envelop her own body in a force field and extend parts of it a short distance. In the movie she surrounds the entire hospital grounds in a force field bubble that's at least a mile across, and she can project separate force field bubbles around other people to restrain them [[spoiler: and kill them by crushing them inside a shrinking force field]].



* CreepyMonotone: Reyes' voice rarely rises above a steady tone that is likely meant to sound reassuring, but instead comes off as unsettling.

** That said, their smiling masks could be a reference to The Right, an anti-mutant supremacist group that often attacked the New Mutants in the comics. One of their main gimmicks is the robot suits The Right members wear all have smiling faces, which earn them the nickname "Smileys", in the comics.

* CompleteMonster: With the assumption that the Smiley Men represent those who had kept Illyana as a SexSlave when she was a child, as seen through a child's eyes.

to:

* CompleteMonster: With the assumption CreepilyLongArms: Their arms (and legs, for that matter) are inhumanly long and thin.
* TheDreaded: They're this for Illyana. Being confronted with them reduces her to terrified sobbing, and it's several minutes before she can work up the nerve to fight back.
* {{Expy}}:
** As long-limbed, black-clad, child-hunting monsters with no eyes, they come across as the film's equivalent to [[Franchise/TheSlenderManMythos the Slender Man]].
** Their disturbingly wide grins, black suits, and inhuman motion is evocative of [[Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer the Gentlemen]]. For bonus points, [[Recap/BuffyTheVampireSlayerS4E10Hush the episode]] of ''Buffy'' that features the Gentlemen is shown during the movie.
* EyelessFace: They don't have eyes, just skin stretched over empty eye sockets.
* LeanAndMean: They're monstrous, child-abusing creatures who are inhumanly tall and thin.
* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: It's ambiguous as to whether
the Smiley Men are actual monsters that tormented Illyana, or if they simply represent those who had kept how the young Illyana as a SexSlave when she was a child, as seen through a child's eyes.saw the men who enslaved and abused her.



* TheDreaded: Is this for Illyana.

to:

* TheDreaded: Is this for Illyana.
PaperTiger: They look scary, but aren't very tough; Roberto and Sam manage to kill a few of them almost by accident, and when Illyana starts fighting back, she cuts them to pieces with ease.
* TattooedCrook: They [[MaybeMagicMaybeMundane either represent or are]] gangsters who kept Illyana as a SexSlave, and their torsos are covered in {{Mafiya}}-esque tattoos.
* WouldHurtAChild: They tormented and abused Illyana when she was a child, and their screentime is spent trying to kill the teenaged New Mutants.



* LargeHam: His brief screentime has him devour the scenery with aplomb.



* AdaptationalVillainy: [[spoiler: Here, she works for Mr. Sinister's Essex Corporation and is the BigBad of the movie.]]

* CreepyMonotone: Reyes' voice rarely rises above a steady tone that is likely meant to sound reassuring, but instead comes off as unsettling.

* {{Expy}}: Of [[Film/OneFlewOverTheCuckoosNest Nurse Ratched]].

to:

* {{Expy}}: Of [[Film/OneFlewOverTheCuckoosNest Nurse Ratched]].FauxAffablyEvil: [[spoiler:Reyes tries to come across as a compassionate doctor who works to help young people, but her constant surveillance of the teens and refusal to allow them to leave makes her come across as sinister even before she's revealed to be working for the Essex Corporation. Both times she tries to kill Dani, Reyes ignores her pleas and soothingly talks about how Dani's death is for the best and how she'll soon be with her family.]]


Added DiffLines:

* VillainousBreakdown: [[spoiler:Downplayed, but the pain and blood loss from being mauled by Rahne does a number on Reyes' composure, causing her to rant about how the teens should be grateful for her efforts and her voice taking on a sadistic edge as she tries to suffocate Dani with a force field.]]

* BadGuysDoTheDirtyWork: [[spoiler:Not long after the teens recognise that they can't escape Milbury Hospital without killing Dr. Reyes, Demon Bear devours the doctor, saving them the trouble.]]




to:

* VillainousRescue: [[spoiler:Demon Bear devours Dr. Reyes just before she can fatally suffocate Dani. The "rescue" part is downplayed by the fact that it immediately attacks the New Mutants once it's finished with Reyes.]]



* BigBad: [[spoiler: She initally is this, until Demon Bear devours her.]]

to:

* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler:No tears were shed when she was killed by Demon Bear.]]
* BigBad: [[spoiler: She initally initially is this, until Demon Bear devours her.]]
* ControlFreak: Reyes doesn't respond well to the teens acting outside her will or defying her authority, throwing them, especially Illyana, into solitary confinement when they act up.
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: [[spoiler:Judging from her screaming as Demon Bear chomped down on her body, Reyes' death was neither quick nor painless.]]
* EvenEvilHasStandards: [[spoiler:Reyes seems disturbed when her superiors order her to terminate Dani, but that doesn't stop her from trying to go through with it.]]
* FacialHorror: [[spoiler:Rahne viciously claws half of Reyes' face to save Dani. Close-ups show that the attack damaged one of the not-so-good doctor's eyes.

Added DiffLines:

* TheHeavy: [[spoiler:While not the sole threat of the movie, Reyes is running Milbury Hospital on behalf of her Essex Corporation superiors (and implicitly, [[GreaterScopeVillain Mr. Sinister himself]]).]]
* LackOfEmpathy: Played with. The way she compares her work with the teens to her mother's work as a veterinarian suggests that Reyes sees the teens she's ''claiming'' to help as little more than animals. [[spoiler:That said, her comparing Dani to a rabid dog that needs to be put down implies that she's not ''totally'' dead to human suffering, and that she needs to justify her actions, at least to herself.]]
* MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate: [[spoiler:She's not trying to help the New Mutants; she's evaluating them for placement in Essex's programs to weaponise their powers. At minimum, she's aware of what Essex Corporation's affiliate [[Film/{{Logan}} Transigen]] gets up to.]]
* NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler:Reyes tries to justify killing Dani by comparing her to a rabid dog she had owned as a child and claiming that left unchecked, Dani's power would kill all of them. However, she didn't come to the decision herself (she was ordered by her superiors to terminate Dani, and mentions that it's a test of her own willingness to obey), making her justifications come off as self-delusion to ease her conscience.]]
* TheQuisling: [[spoiler:Reyes is a mutant who works for a corporation that exploits mutants.]]
* VillainHasAPoint: [[spoiler:Her assessment of Illyana as a misanthrope with a hatred for authority is dead-on, which even Illyana can't argue with, despite her disgust with Reyes.]]
* WouldHurtAChild: [[spoiler:She's willing to gas a teenager to death on her superiors' orders, and the implications of what would have become of the other teens if left in her care are grim.]]
