History Pinball / XMenStern

In this game, the player must assemble eight of Professor Xavier's Franchise/XMen, then lead them to triumph against their various enemies. Catch Nightcrawler as he teleports around the field, ricochet pinballs against Gambit's playing cards, then slide down Iceman's ramp and brawl with Wolverine. Start Magneto Multiball and get past his magnetic defenses to challenge the Brotherhood, then go up against the Hellfire Club, Sabretooth, the Shadow King, Omega Red, the Juggernaut, and the Sentinels. Chain your teammates together in powerful Combos, then test their mettle in the Danger Room and against Dark Phoenix in a point-scoring frenzy.

%%* BigGood: Professor Xavier, of course. The premise of the game is to assemble eight of his Franchise/XMen, then lead them to triumph against their various enemies.

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: ''X-Men'' has one of the largest casts in a {{pinball}} game, with nearly fifty characters making appearances, many of them voiced.

%%* BaldOfAwesome: Professor Xavier is shown in his signature hairless glory.

->'''Wolverine:''' "Back off, bub."

In addition to the basic "Pro" table, ''X-Men'' was also available in Wolverine Blue and Magneto Red Limited Editions. Along with custom backbox translite art and color-coordinated metalwork, these games included a magnetic spinning disc and a swing-out Ice Slide that sends balls across the playfield. Fan consensus is that while ''X-Men'' is a solid game and one of Stern's top titles, the amateurish voice work and [[ObviousBeta incomplete software]] hold it back from greatness. There's also some dispute over whether the Limited Edition extras help or hinder the game, with some finding them to be clumsy additions that detract somewhat from the gameplay.

''Not to be confused with the'' X-Men ''DigitalPinballTable from VideoGame/ZenPinball.''

* AnIcePerson: Iceman, naturally.
* AnimeHair[=/=]HotbloodedSideburns: Sported by Wolverine, and especially noticeable in the artwork for his LE table.
* BadassCape[=/=]CoolHelmet: Magneto is never seen without his signature helmet and crimson cape.
* BadassLongcoat: Worn by Gambit.
* BaldOfAwesome: Professor Xavier is shown in his signature hairless glory.
* BattleAura: Phoenix, of course.
* BigGood: Professor Xavier, of course. The premise of the game is to assemble eight of his Franchise/XMen, then lead them to triumph against their various enemies.

* DeathDealer: Gambit, whose energized playing cards are featured on the pop bumpers.

* EyeBeams: Cyclops uses these to attack.
* FieryRedhead: Done literally with Phoenix, thanks to her Phoenix Force aura.
* LargeHam: Many of the characters, but Shadow King and Magneto are the biggest offenders.
-->'''Shadow King:''' "Now witness the dawn of ''homo superior!''"

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: ''X-Men'' has one of the largest casts in a {{Pinball}} game, with nearly fifty characters making appearances, many of them voiced.

* NotEvenBotheringWithTheAccent / OohMeAccentsSlipping / WhatTheHellIsThatAccent: Let's just say that the voice acting on this game is all over the board. It's especially noticeable on Storm (who sounds like she's 17) and Gambit and Rogue (whose voices sound like they were done by people who have only a vague idea about what a Cajun and Mississippi accent, respectively, are supposed to sound like).
* PopularityPower: Wolverine, who not only has a dedicated "bash toy" on the playfield, but also a Limited Edition table.
* POVCam: During "Weapon X Multiball," the display shows Logan's view as he runs down the corridors of the Weapon X facility and fights the guards in his way.

* VillainousGlutton: The Shadow King is shown as an obese bald man.

* WolverinePublicity: ComicBook/{{Deadpool}} was teased in the initial game menus, but did not appear until an early 2014 software update. If the player can make a certain number of {{Combos}}, Deadpool appears during various Villain Modes and increases the amount of damage the player inflicts.
