| 37 | Jubilee started out as a peppy Chinese-American teenager who, following the death of her parents, discovered her mutant power of creating energy blasts from her fingers and was eventually welcomed by the X-Men. She was intended to do for the new fans of the 1990s what ComicBook/KittyPryde did in the 1980s -- serve as a viewpoint character for teenagers. As such, she became ComicBook/{{Wolverine}}'s {{kid sidekick}}, and spent several years following him around, swinging between sarcastic mockery of his NinetiesAntiHero excesses and mortal terror expressed through TotallyRadical dialogue. Then she got transferred to the junior team, ComicBook/GenerationX, where over time she became the GeniusDitz team strategist. |

| 54 | Bishop, full name Lucas Bishop, is a time-traveling cop from the future who found himself stuck in the past after chasing a mutant criminal by the name of Trevor Fitzroy through a time portal. Determined to [[VigilanteExecution 'Sanction']] Fitzroy and his band of rebels, the task proved difficult and he ended up clashing with the X-Men in the process. It was then revealed that he comes from a post-dystopic future in which humans and mutants joined forces to stop a Sentinel takeover, after which a special force named Xavier's Security Enforcers was created to police the mutant population. Stranded in the past, Bishop realized he had a chance to prevent such a BadFuture from ever unfolding, and became an X-Man, lending his big guns, energy manipulation abilities, and military training to their cause. |
| 55 | \ |
| 56 | Post-''Decimation'' he underwent a rather drastic FaceHeelTurn and turned into an EvilCounterpart to ComicBook/{{Cable}}, losing an arm along the way to strengthen the resemblance, and dividing his time between time travel, scheming, and attempting to shoot Cable with very large guns. And a cheeky bit of global-scale genocide. After ''Avengers Vs. X-Men'', he returned to the modern day, where his true allegiances were hard to pin down for quite some time until the ''Krakoan Age'', where he solidified his status as a committed soldier for the mutant cause, serving as one of the island nation's Great Captains and later its Captain Commander. |
| 57 | \ |
| 58 | He got four limited series including the self-titled ''Bishop'' series, where he tracked and fought Mountjoy; ''XSE'', which showcased his past (future); and its sequel — ''Bishop: Xavier's Security Enforcers''. He also teamed up with ComicBook/{{Gambit}} to oppose Stryfe in ''Gambit and Bishop: Sons of the Atom'', where he ended up being possessed by a [[ComicBook/JeanGrey Phoenix]]-like cosmic entity named Bete Noir. He also starred in the series ''Bishop: The Last X-Man'' from 1999 to 2001, in which he was trapped in another alternate timeline. He appeared regularly in ''District X'' from 2004 to 2005, a police procedural set in a mutant ghetto in New York City. Finally, He also starred in the ComicBook/HouseOfM tie-in, ''Mutopia''. |
| 59 | \ |
| 60 | He is portrayed by Creator/OmarSy in ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast''. |
| 61 | ---- |
| 62 | * NinetiesAntiHero: A solid one on the trail of Cable: a big, rugged vigilante with large weapons and hailing from a dark future. Unlike Cable, however, Bishop is actually more of an early {{Deconstruction}} of the trope, as his violent methods only caused him trouble both in and out of the X-Men after he came to present time. Also, he is a downplayed example, as while Cable was a professional warzone survivor, Bishop was just a hardcore police officer and never quite went into outright SociopathicHero territory. In recent years this has been downplayed in favor of emphasizing a more professional soldier-like demeanor. |
| 63 | * TheAce: Was this during his X.S.E (Xavier Security Enforcers — the mutant policing force created after the Summers’ Rebellion) days as he was the youngest cadet ever (until his sister Shard broke his record the following year) admitted on the force. He was also in charge of a three man unit that was considered the best on the force. He’s appointed War Captain and eventually Captain Commander during the Krakoan age as his soldier expertise is greatly respected. |
| 64 | * AntiClimax: For years he was convinced ComicBook/{{Gambit}} would betray and destroy the X-Men. As it turns out, the culprit in Bishop's future was ComicBook/{{Onslaught}}. The two patched things up with a simple apology from Bishop, and actually became FireForgedFriends after the fact. |
| 65 | * AntiHero: Started out more as UnscrupulousHero, and softened to PragmaticHero over the years before his FaceHeelTurn. Now he's back to being an AntiHero. |
| 66 | * TheApprentice: Was put under ComicBook/{{Storm|MarvelComics}}'s tutelage. Although it was more of a formality, as Bishop was quite trained already, he appreciated it much. |
| 67 | * AnArmAndALeg: Loses his arm to Predator X in his pursuit of Hope Summers during the Messiah Complex. |
| 68 | * ArchEnemy: Trevor Fitzroy and Cable during his FaceHeelTurn in the 2000s. |
| 69 | * ArtificialLimbs: Gained (or more accurately, stole) a mechanical arm after losing his left arm to the mutant-eating monster Predator X. |
| 70 | * AwesomeAussie: His parents were Australian (his mom was an [[UsefulNotes/AustralianAborigines Australian Aborigine]]) and he was conceived there. (By the time he was born, the entire continent was a radioactive wasteland. We did mention he was from a CrapsackFuture, yes?) He is also very badass (when he's not trying to [[FaceHeelTurn kill]] [[SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong children]]). |
| 71 | * AxCrazy: After his FaceHeelTurn, he more or less [[spoiler:dropped any pretense of heroism and became a really, really nasty piece of work]]. |
| 72 | * BadFuture: Actually a post-bad future, as Bishop's native timeline was a society that had successfully rebuilt itself after a war against the Sentinels. However, it wasn't exactly a utopia either, as the need for an elite mutant police with big guns can attest. |
| 73 | %%* BaldOfEvil: In the 2000s he shaved his dreads and he later did a FaceHeelTurn. When he returned as a hero in the late 2010s, his hair had regrown |
| 74 | * BashBrothers: With Gambit after their reconciliation. |
| 75 | * {{BFG}}: Bishop's powers aren't obvious at first glance, so like Cable, readers might think that his gigantic weapons are his power. |
| 76 | * BigBrotherInstinct: He is (or, more accurately, ''was'') very protective of his little sister, Shard. |
| 77 | * TheBigGuy: He developed into this role after joining X-Men. It helps that he's one of the physically biggest members (one of his earliest appearances has him at least a head taller than the already pretty tall Cyclops and Gambit, and Colossus is notably ''not'' an entire head taller than him). |
| 78 | * TheBusCameBack: [[spoiler:He returned after ''Avengers Vs. X-Men'']]. |
| 79 | * CharlesAtlasSuperpower: He's so huge and muscled that ''Colossus'' of all people in his armored form has trouble restraining him — though that might have something to do with how he can translate absorbed energy to SuperStrength. |
| 80 | * ChessMotifs: Not overtly, but the issue that introduced Bishop had Professor X playing chess with Forge and winning by checkmate with a ''bishop''... |
| 81 | * TheChewToy: He has the particularly nasty RunningGag of being often possessed by bad guys: first by Mountjoy, later by Bete Noir, then by the Demon Bear, and finally by Cassandra Nova (and that without counting a psychic virus created by the Shadow King). |
| 82 | * CombatTentacles: His artificial arm could deploy several tiny tentacles. |
| 83 | * ContinuitySnarl: His FaceHeelTurn was the result of this as [[ComicBook/XMenMessiahComplex Messiah Complex]] stating that Hope was responsible for his state of his BadFuture--which flew right in the face of what was established, which was one of the X-Men themselves (ComicBook/ProfessorX [[SplitPersonality by way of]] ComicBook/{{Onslaught}}) losing their shit, killing most of the X-Men[[note]]ComicBook/{{Gambit}} was implied to have been the SoleSurvivor as a character in Bishop's time named the Witness, looked like an older [=LeBeau=] and talked like him, which led Bishop to believe Gambit betrayed the team[[/note]], and attacking the world. |
| 84 | * CowboyCop: As he comes from the dystopian future, he started off as a brash mutant cop who had difficulty with adjusting the X-Men before finally settling down until his FaceHeelTurn. Also {{deconstructed|Trope}}, as in his own time, he was a ByTheBookCop — it's just that the book was so different, that in this time, he came off as an AxCrazy VigilanteMan. As he's adjusted to the present day, he's edged ever closer to what we would consider a ByTheBookCop (another way that he serves as a foil to Cable, whose Cowboy-ness waxes and wanes, but never disappears). |
| 85 | * DemonicPossession: Has been possessed many times, but Bete Noir and the [[ComicBook/NewMutants Demon Bear]] are the only examples that qualify as demonic. |
| 86 | * {{Determinator}}: One thing that is frequently noted about him, including by Cable (a starring example of this in his own right), is that he just. Does. Not. Give. Up. ''Ever''. |
| 87 | * DestructiveSavior: Shortly after joining the X-men, he decides to explore the city Manhattan to get himself accustomed to the present. While doing so he spots one of the escaped prisoners, Styglut, from the future and recklessly engages in a battle with him. While he is able to kill the prisoner, many civilians were injured as collateral damage; something that would not have happened in his timeline as the civilians in his era know to clear the area when the X.S.E are patrolling the area for criminals. To signify that he has much to learn, notably toning down his aggression, he gives Storm his X.S.E command insignia. |
| 88 | * DivergentCharacterEvolution: Inverted with his thematical relationship to the other 90's X-Man antihero, Cable. Although Bishop started as a mild deconstruction of everything Cable represented, he ended up taking a lot of traits from him when he became bent on chasing Cable and Hope. This includes an artificial arm (which was actually reverse-engineered by Forge after Cable's), a shiny eye (both of his eyes are, but artists of this period liked to draw him with a single eye glowing red a la ''Franchise/{{Terminator}}'') and a much darker personality (to the extent he did much worse things than Cable would have even considered). |
| 89 | * EnemyMine: Bishop and Gambit are forced to ally with Stryfe to try to stop the Bete Noir, which is finally accomplished by [[spoiler:Stryfe's HeroicSacrifice]]. This continues after he's revealed to have survived, as Bishop needed some help in his task of killing Hope, but he ends up betraying [[spoiler:Stryfe]] when their goals divert. |
| 90 | * EnergyAbsorption: His power allows him to absorb several kinds of energy, including psychic energy, as well as redirect it in the form of laser blasts. |
| 91 | * EvilCounterpart: Of Cable during his villain run. Before that, he was somewhat like Cable's civilized counterpart. |
| 92 | * EyeScream: Wolverine slices out his eye during his pursuit of Hope Summers during the Messiah War |
| 93 | * FaceHeelTurn: For a time. His attempt to kill Hope turned him against the rest of the X-Men. |
| 94 | * FacialMarkings: As he comes from the BadFuture, he has an 'M' (for Mutant) branded on his right eye (it's apparently a genetically engineered disease "branded to his DNA", and can't be removed by anything). |
| 95 | * FightsLikeANormal: Subverted. He does use his powers when fighting, but he doesn't bother to if he can solve it with his gun. |
| 96 | * FishOutOfTemporalWater: Being from a BadFuture, he had [[ViolenceReallyIsTheAnswer serious problems]] with the whole "don't kill people" thing for a time. |
| 97 | * FutureBadass: Subverted in that he has not been born yet in this era, but he's a badass from the future nonetheless. |
| 98 | * GeniusBruiser: Bishop is TheBigGuy with an unending array of {{BFG}}s...but he also [[SmartPeoplePlayChess plays chess]] in his head with Charles Xavier, is a homicide detective who frequently [[GuileHero investigates cases]] involving mutants, and is, in general, a well–read, [[RealMenWearPink sensitive]] gentleman [[HiddenDepths and a surprisingly good cook]]. ...when he isn't angry and shooting you. |
| 99 | * GlowingEyesOfDoom: When using his powers, his eyes glow red. |
| 100 | * GracefulLoser: After getting stranded in an apocalyptic future by Cable, thus losing all his chances to kill Hope (and being, you know, in an apocalyptic future, presumably forever), Lucas just sits down and muses "well played, Nathan" with a melancholic smile. |
| 101 | * GuileHero: Deceived one of the Morlocks into blasting him with an energetic ray, which only added to Bishop's energy reserves, by making the mook believe he would be screwed if hit. |
| 102 | * HeelRealization: After failing in his mission to kill Hope and getting stranded in a lost future, Bishop ponders his own role in shaping her and for the first time wonders whether he was really doing the best thing. We don't get to see what comes out of those thoughts, as the next time we see Bishop he's possessed by the Demon Bear, and the very next he is left in a coma after getting his mind scrambled. |
| 103 | * HeroicBuild: His physique puts most X-Men's to shame. |
| 104 | * HotBlooded: His powers are not the only energetic thing on him. |
| 105 | * ImportantHaircut: When he was introduced (''Uncanny X-Men'' #282), he sported a long mane of 1990s hair. He only changes his hairdo after the traumatic experiences of the ''ComicBook/AgeOfApocalypse'', in ''X-Men'' #48 (1996). |
| 106 | * InspectorJavert: |
| 107 | ** To Gambit, who he suspected of being the X-Men's traitor (it turned out to be Onslaught), which he apologised for. |
| 108 | ** Briefly to [[ComicBook/XMan Nate Grey]], because Nate was an unknown factor as someone who ''wasn't'' from his past, having hopped over from the ''ComicBook/AgeOfApocalypse'' timeline. The fact that Nate was also a PersonOfMassDestruction with an attitude problem and an unfortunate habit of PowerIncontinence, while Bishop was a former cop precisely specialized in delinquent mutants who abused their powers, didn't help at all. This was stopped in its tracks by Rogue, who cussed them both out for being macho idiots, and had the advantage of being someone who Nate was at least grudgingly willing to listen to. |
| 109 | * {{Irony}}: |
| 110 | ** Part of the reason he stayed in the "[[ComicBookTime present]]" was to prevent a member of the X-Men betraying them, only to later turn traitor himself. |
| 111 | ** During Decimation, when the X-Mansion was placed under armed guard sedASpot. |
| 112 | * LastNameBasis: Over the years, Bishop didn't have a first name until one ''X-Treme X-Men'' issue revealed it to be Lucas. Until then, there was even ambiguity about whether "Bishop" was meant to be a surname or a codename (in one issue, where Storm asked him to call her Ororo, Bishop expressed confusion at the concept and said that she could call him...Bishop). It didn't help that his sister Shard Bishop had the opposite case and was referred in a FirstNameBasis. |
| 113 | * LeaveNoSurvivors: During his first appearance he and his team enter a time portal that takes him to the present in order to pursue the escaped prisoners. When he attempts to force one of the prisoners back into the time port, the criminal desintegrates. Realizing he is stuck in the present with many dangerous criminals and no way to secure them all, he orders of kill sweep of all the prisoners. He and his team manage to kill most of them, but his partners Malcolm and Randall die in the process. |
| 114 | * MyGreatestFailure: The situation that led to the death of his sister Shard in the future, as well as the one that ended up with his partners Randall and Malcolm dead in the present. |
| 115 | * NoSocialSkills: He acknowledges himself he’s not good with people and laments that the XSE didn’t include a course on it. |
| 116 | * OnceMoreWithClarity: A major part of Bishop's backstory is discovering a garbled tape of ComicBook/JeanGrey talking about a traitor within the X-Men's ranks. As a result of it being garbled, Bishop had assumed that ComicBook/ProfessorX was among the first to die and Jean was saying that the team shouldn't have trusted one of their own (Bishop suspected ComicBook/{{Gambit}} as a man called the Witness, who was the last person to see the X-Men alive, resembled and acted like him). The crossover, ''ComicBook/{{Onslaught}}'', [[ArcWelding incorporated this]] into the ''Onslaught: X-Men'' one-shot that kicked off the crossover, revealing that Jean was really talking about Xavier's dark side becoming the titular villain, that she suspected Juggernaut had died in Onslaught's rampage (he hadn't), that they should have realized that Xavier's mindwipe of Magneto in the ''ComicBook/{{Fatal Attractions|MarvelComics}}'' crossover might come back to haunt them (which it did, given it gave way to Onslaught), and that Jean wasn't actually killed when the tape ended. |
| 117 | * PhlebotinumOverload: Bishop can be overloaded given enough time and fuel... this usually results in a fairly splashy explosion, though he himself is rarely injured from it (except maybe his uniform). |
| 118 | * PrinciplesZealot: a) Mutants must be officially policed (if possible, by mutants too) and b) ViolenceReallyIsTheAnswer and toning it down is just a matter of PR. |
| 119 | * ProphetEyes: When using his powers, his eyes would turn either this or RedEyesTakeWarning. |
| 120 | * PutOnABus: [[spoiler: When Cable and Hope had enough of him chasing them through different timelines, Cable managed to scramble Bishop's time-traveling teleportation device which stranded him in a very deserted distant future]]. |
| 121 | * ReformedButRejected: Since he's returned from the future. However, as of 2017, he has returned to working with the X-men with no evidence of mistrust or resentment. It is possible his [[{{Retcon}} actions regarding Hope most likely have been erased]] thanks to a certain [[ComicBook/SecretWars2015 cosmic reset]]. |
| 122 | * ScaryBlackMan: After he turned into a baby-hunting villain in the 2000s ''Cable'' series. His artificial left arm doesn't seem to help either. |
| 123 | * SealedEvilInACan: The Bete Noir when it possessed Bishop. |
| 124 | * ShipTease: |
| 125 | ** With Storm. Jubilee even asked him if they were dating, and Bishop's answer was he wasn't very sure about it. |
| 126 | ** With Sage. He clearly began to develop feelings for her, but whether she returned them was never made clear, and neither ever acted on it in any case. |
| 127 | ** Briefly, during Decimation, it was hinted he and Val Cooper were developing a relationship, though Bishop bristled when the others asked him about it. [[spoiler:This was CutShort by his FaceHeelTurn]]. |
| 128 | ** During the late-1990s, there was ''something'' going on between him and renegade Shi'ar princess Deathbird, so much so that Chris Claremont, in the alternate continuity of ''ComicBook/XMenTheEnd'', canonizes a daughter to their relationship that becomes the Shi'ar Majestrix in that reality. |
| 129 | * SuperCop: Was one, and hasn't yet shaken it out of his system. |
| 130 | * SuperheroPackingHeat: A defender of this idea, the biggest in X-Men only behind Cable. |
| 131 | * TakingTheBullet: He saved the entire team from Onslaught by taking his psychic blast. |
| 132 | * TangledFamilyTree: Throughout his history, he's been shown and implied to be related in one way or another to Gateway, Storm, M, and Neal Shaara. (Who are Australian, Kenyan-American, Algerian-Monacan, and Indian, respectively.) |
| 133 | * TookALevelInJerkass: Went from being one of the more level-headed X-Men to a brutal hunter willing to maim or kill anyone who stood in the way of his mission of killing Hope Summers. |
| 134 | * TragicTimeTraveler: It ''starts'' with him being a denizen in a Sentinel-dominated future, where the X-Men have died to due to a traitor, and follows a time traveling bad guy only to realize he can't travel back, and it only gets worse from there. |
| 135 | * TroublingUnchildlikeBehaviour: A time-traveling Madrox and Layla Miller once met Bishop as a pre-teen. He was scornful of any Mutant who claimed to be the next evolutionary step, and outright told them he wished he had a chance at killing Hope Summers. Several years later, when he was somewhere in his early teens, he told Hecat'e he'd kill her if she messed with Shard. |
| 136 | * UndyingLoyalty: To Storm. |
| 137 | * UnexplainedRecovery: After returning to the present due to being stranded in the future by Cable, he regains his arm and eye that he lost in pursuit of Cable and Hope without any explanation |
| 138 | * VirtualSidekick: For a time, Bishop was accompanied on his adventures by a holographic version of his deceased sister, Shard. |
| 139 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: |
| 140 | ** In his timeline, Hope grew up to kill thousands of humans in seconds, which was what led to mutants being placed into concentration camps. He wanted to kill Hope to ensure history wouldn't repeat itself. |
| 141 | ** A little more Downplayed when he starts his War College on Krakoa. He’s quite rough on his recruits and is even called out on it by Dani Moonstar but he’s also lived the worst case scenario for mutants and wants to avoid the events of his timeline at all costs. |
| 142 | * WouldHurtAChild: Zig-zagged. The impetus of his FaceHeelTurn was trying to kill Hope Summers before she became a threat, even when she was no more than a few weeks old, but the few times he had her in his sights, he never actually managed to pull the trigger. |

| 159 | Kwannon is a former assassin from Japan, raised by [[ComicBook/{{Daredevil}} the Hand]]. She worked for the crime lord Nyoirin. |
| 160 | \ |
| 161 | For most of her history, her body was well-known, but she was not. Revanche is the body that Betsy Braddock was transplanted into, and thus making her one of Marvel's most iconic femme fatales for a long time. Revanche, in the body of Betsy Braddock, was eventually killed at her request by her lover Matsu'o, as she did not want to die of the Legacy Virus. This ensured that Betsy would remain in her body for many years. Kwannon got better, and eventually came back, and she and Betsy finally reverted bodies at long last during ''ComicBook/HuntForWolverine: Mystery in Madripoor''. |

| 163 | Kwannon would see an increase in prominence as a LegacyCharacter to Betsy as Psylocke, first using the name Revanche when Betsy was missing and worked as an uneasy ally of the X-Men and then later taking up the Psylocke identity once Betsy took up the mantle of ComicBook/CaptainBritain. She [[ComicBook/FallenAngels2019 formed a new team]], who took it upon themselves to do whatever it takes to protect the world, for both mutants and humans. |

| 165 | After making a deal with Mister Sinister to augment her powers in order to defeat the threat known as Apoth, Kwannon became indebted to him... especially once he salvaged the DNA of her deceased daughter, whom the Hand had taken away from her. On his orders, and the request of the Quiet Council of Krakoa, Kwannon became the handler for and field leader of Sinister's new strikeforce, [[ComicBook/{{Hellions}} the Hellions]], a group of dangerous anti-social mutants whose innate capacity for harm has made them ill-fit to live peaceful lives on the mutant nation. |

| 203 | A hard-working New York doctor who definitely did not want to be a superhero, at all, ever. Unfortunately for her, [[TheCallKnowsWhereYouLive the bad guys didn't care]]. She quit as soon as possible, but not before having a neat love triangle with Beast and Iceman. Cecilia has since served as a recurring ally of the X-Men while attempting to maintain her normal medical career, but with the founding of Krakoa she joined the new mutant nation as a doctor in the Healing Gardens. |
| 204 | ---- |
| 205 | * BarrierWarrior: Her forcefield powers make her near-invulnerable, but are seldom used offensively. |
| 206 | * TheCallKnowsWhereYouLive: Justified, not only were all mutants being targeted during Operation Zero Tolerance by the Sentinels, Xavier kept track on where potential recruits for his X-men lived and Iceman took it upon himself to check up on her. Cecilia wasn’t just outed as a mutant to her mutant-hating coworkers, Iceman took her with him on an adventure to face the leader of Zero Tolerance. |
| 207 | * GoingColdTurkey: She was briefly hooked on a drug that boosted her powers, Professor X helped her kick the addiction. |
| 208 | * HospitalHottie: She's a doctor and plenty good looking. |
| 209 | * IJustWantToBeNormal: She prefers to work as a normal doctor than to work in a superhero team. When the mutant nation of Krakoa is founded, she seemingly has abandoned this desire and now lives on Krakoa as one of the leading doctors of the island's healing gardens. |
| 210 | * TheMedic: She still serves this role for the X-Men on occasion, including patching up Magneto after [[spoiler:he brought Kitty Pryde back from space]]. |
| 211 | * SassyBlackWoman: Though ironically she is a Puerto Rican; but then again, she was raised in the Bronx. |
| 212 | * SecretPublicIdentity: Due to the whole 'not wanting to be a superhero at all ever' thing, she refuses to take one. |
| 213 | * SlashedThroat: While performing an autopsy on several biologically enhanced soldiers killed by Krakoa's X-Force, she is caught off-guard by a smaller version of the soldier emerging from inside the corpse which slits her throat. Cecilia bleeds out, but Sage notes that due to her importance she will be bumped up to the top of the Five's resurrection list. |
| 214 | * SpellMyNameWithAnS: Her name was consistently misspelled as "Cecelia" in Chris Claremont's return to the X-books. This occasionally pops up again afterwards. |
| 215 | * TwoferTokenMinority: She's of African-American and Puerto Rican descent. |

| 225 | |
| 226 | A former mutant terrorist. Originally created by a writer with the intention to die in a one on one fight with Storm, she was later revealed to have survived. Later she was picked up again as one of three new and unusual recruits to join the X-Men after a crossover (the others were Cecilia Reyes and Maggot). |
| 227 | \ |
| 228 | At first a troublemaker for the other X-Men, she managed to become a stable and accepted part of the team. However, after some failed attempts by writers and artist to make her more appealing, she mysteriously disappeared from one issue to another, without any explanation ever given. |
| 229 | \ |
| 230 | Afterwards she reappeared in a one-shot as SHIELD sleeper agent, was part of the ill-fated Weapon X series and finally got depowered on M-Day while keeping her mutated appearance. After a brief appearance as enemy in X-factor she was once again absent for several years. She then returned in the 2014 ''X-Force'' series as a core cast member. |
| 231 | ---- |
| 232 | * AllLoveIsUnrequited: Poor Marrow, whomever she’s crushing on is either not interested in her or has a girlfriend already (both aren’t unheard of though). Averted when she was brainwashed however, as she went on a date with Spider-Man, but that didn’t last either. |
| 233 | * AndShowItToYou: Subverted, Marrow was on the receiving end of this trope courtesy of Storm, who tore out Marrows’ heart after she’d rigged it to a bomb. |
| 234 | * AntiHero: NominalHero originally. She had mutant supremacist leanings and was the loose cannon on a team with ''Wolverine'', but eventually healed and reformed during Creator/AlanDavis' run, at the end of which, she probably didn't qualify for more than ClassicalAntiHero. After that she turned to downright villain and finally back to her original form. |
| 235 | ** Davis' attempt was seen as CharacterDevelopment by many readers. |
| 236 | * BadWithTheBone: Thanks to her powers, Marrow is literally made of this trope, though she often favors knives over blunt weaponry. Depending on her level of control at the time, this can extend into other kinds of projectiles, such as spikes/needles, or boneshards straight out of her body. |
| 237 | * BasementDweller: In the first few weeks as an X-man, Marrow lived in their basement, specifically in the Danger Room. Justified since her people, the Morlocks, normally lives in the sewer, so it comes naturally to her. |
| 238 | * BloodKnight: Before Davis' got a hold on her. Back again after she disappeared. In X-force she openly states she is just there to have "fun". |
| 239 | * BodyHorror: Her power, by the by, was to grow bones out of her body, usually in the form of outward jutting spines or claws. |
| 240 | * BrainwashedAndCrazy: Courtesy of SHIELD, her BloodKnight tendencies were turned up to eleven and she developed a split personality. |
| 241 | * ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Mixed with being PutOnABus. She disappeared two issues without explanation and has only reappeared in satellite titles, she was never shown or mentioned again in the core titles. |
| 242 | * DarkAgeOfSupernames: Subverted, for someone who comes from the 90's, has the power to grow knives out of the body and was more anti than hero, she has a surprising soft and normal codename. |
| 243 | ** This was almost played straight, as her codename was originally "Sheath," but this was rejected by the editors for sounding too sexual. |
| 244 | * ADayInTheLimelight: Randomly was chosen as a fighter in ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom2''. Her only appearance in the Vs Series. |
| 245 | * DualWielding: Default combat style. |
| 246 | * FreudianExcuse: Well, if you'd been born with bones sticking out all over your body and had the only people who ever cared for you massacred before your eyes as a child, how well-adjusted would ''you'' be? |
| 247 | * TheFriendNoOneLikes: This happens on several teams, often justified given Marrows’ confrontational attitude and parttime Jerkass behavior, but her teammates aren’t completely without fault either. |
| 248 | ** Averted in her Gene Nation days, justified since she was the leader. |
| 249 | ** When she was part of the X-Men, Marrow didn’t interact well with the other members, either by being extremely confrontational, eating like a pig or just being intentionally creepy. Storms’ solution to Marrow’s attitude and temper problems is to let her get private lessons from Wolverine. Cue beatings and verbal put downs, which resulted in Marrow planting a bone dagger in Wolverine’s throat. Marrow would’ve died from Wolverine’s berserker-rage if Cannonball hadn’t bullrushed him. |
| 250 | ** While Marrow was a member of X-Force, consisting of Meme, Fantomex, Cable, Domino and Doctor Nemesis, she suffered heavily from mental instability from the trauma of losing her child, which manifested in childish behavior, lack of respect/personal boundaries and even more frequent bouts of aggression. Though the rest of the team had their own issues which they dealt with, such as a general lack of trust in their teammates. |
| 251 | * HealingFactor: The other reason why she survived the heart removal, and how she can remove the bones from her body without bleeding to death. Strangely not official part of her powerset. |
| 252 | * HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: Good grief, Marrow’s moral alignment practically changes with each new recurring appearance! She started out as a NiceGirl amongst the Morlocks, then grew into a terrorist leader, who then joined the X-Men and helped save the earth. She was later brainwashed by SHIELD to act as an assassin, who then went rogue killing Life Model Decoys. After that she joined Weapon X where she committed several murders and took part in imprisoning numerous mutants in concentration camps, including some she knew. Then she joined a mutant resistance group against Weapon X, which she subsequently took control over and reformed into a terrorist organization, killing numerous civilians aside from Weapon X personnel. Her next stint at “heroics” was with X-Force to act as mutant SWAT team killing any threats to the mutant nation. Her latest appearance has seen Marrow become a member of the villainous Helllfire Club under Emma Frost. |
| 253 | * LighterAndSofter: Her [[ThrowTheDogABone development]] under Davis. |
| 254 | * LovecraftianSuperpower: Her BodyHorror powers also give her some serious advantages like superhuman endurance, pain resistance, healing and strength. |
| 255 | * MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler:Her reaction to finding out she volunteered for dangerous experiments to regain her super powers while being pregnant and having been told the risk]]. |
| 256 | * NoSocialSkills: Marrow is extremely confrontational and has difficulty connecting to people emotionally -- or even understanding herself. Of course, living in the sewers for most of your early childhood with a bunch of other maladjusted freaks and spending your teenage years fighting for your survival in a horrible pocket dimension does that to you. Archangel was the only one for whom she showed a soft spot, due to viewing him as a MessianicArchetype. |
| 257 | * OddFriendship: While in X-Force [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} Marrow]] seemed to eventually develop one with [[InsufferableGenius Doctor Nemesis]], based on their mutual love of Coffee. |
| 258 | * OnlyOneName: Her first name is Sarah and that's how she's known when she's not referred to as Marrow. If she even has a last name is unknown. |
| 259 | * PlotRelevantAgeUp: Her first appearance was as a bald little girl before this happened to her. |
| 260 | * ProgressivelyPrettier: Prime example of the trope. Part of it was deliberate in-universe: as she learned to control her powers better, there was less of the whole "bones jutting out of her at random" thing. With effort, she can maintain CuteMonsterGirl status (the pink hair and the horns aren't going anywhere.) Of course, DependingOnTheArtist kicks in, and you can even have her looking like her BodyHorror day-one self in one comic and her "cute girl with horns" look in another though both stories take place and are released around the same time. |
| 261 | * RememberTheNewGuy: An early {{Retcon}} established her as a survivor of the Morlock Massacre storyline. |
| 262 | * RequiredSecondaryPowers: Her main power is to grow badass bone knives out of her body and throw them at people. Her other powers include surviving pulling the bones out, regrowing new ones, and superhuman pain tolerance. |
| 263 | * SirSwearsALot: For a time, Marrow spat as many curse words as was possible into her sentences during her X-Force days. Psylocke messed with her mind so it came out as utter gibberish/[[GoshDangItToHeck kiddie friendly expletives]], to the entertainment of the rest of the team. |
| 264 | * SlasherSmile: Can pull that off towards civilians and mooks, doesn't work on actual heroes or villains though. |
| 265 | * SmarterThanYouLook: She was able to memorize the entire subway and sewer tunnel system under New York as a 5 or 6 year old child. Likewise, having the time table of all subway trains in her mind. Also her short stint as sleeper agent showed that she is capable of learning and understanding scientific theories. It seems only her violent upbringing and resulting personality stops her from showing/using her intelligence openly. |
| 266 | * SoleSurvivor: She’s the only member of Gene Nation who hasn’t died. |
| 267 | * SpikeShooter: She can shoot the spikes that form from her body. |
| 268 | * SuicideByCop: In the fourth ''X-Force'' volume, [[spoiler:the mutant slaver Volga (the man responsible for the loss of her unborn baby) provokes her into doing this to him following his capture and torture by the team, knowing his goose was cooked either way]]. This earns her a WhatTheHellHero from Cable. |
| 269 | * SuperToughness: Her bones grant her an improved amount of durability, she’s been rammed into concrete walls and gotten back up, fought a feral ''Wolverine'' and could walk away and not once, but twice has jumped from the top of the Brooklyn Bridge and landed in the water without injury. Short version: Girl’s tough. |
| 270 | * UnskilledButStrong: Her combat style is simply to overpower the enemy with strength and/or speed, as she learned during her childhood. However, missing any kind of formal training she is all but useless against people who can balance this out with skill as Storm quickly demonstrated. |
| 271 | * VagueAge: Seemingly in her late teens to early twenties, but due to having grown up in another dimension where time passes differently, even Marrow doesn’t know her own age. |
| 272 | * WolverineClaws: With enough control over her powers, she can produce these in bone form. |
| 273 | * WolverineWannabe: Marrow is a less straight example, where instead of WolverineClaws she's able to grow bone protrusions out of anywhere from her body, which she can then break off and use as handheld blades. Though much like Wolverine, she possesses a HealingFactor that seals wounds made from said breaking of her bones off. |

| 282 | |
| 283 | A South African teenager from a poor family. As a child, his family thought he was dying from stomach cancer because his abdomen constantly bulged and he was constantly hungry. Actually, he was going through a mutation in which his stomach turned into a pair of semi-autonomous slugs. To feed, Japheth had to have the slugs burst out of his stomach, feed on any substance, then return, giving him a burst of superstrength. Japheth joined the X-Men for only a short time before vanishing and reappearing years later to be killed in a Canadian concentration camp for mutants. However, he eventually returned but has had little involvement in any major (or minor) events. |
| 284 | ---- |
| 285 | * AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: His skin is blue and his hair is silver. |
| 286 | * BackFromTheDead: He was revived by the techno-organic virus and used as a soldier by Selene during the ''Necrosha'' story. He seems to be one of the few mutants who was permanently brought back from that, as he is seen several times afterwards in various gatherings of numerous mutants. |
| 287 | * BlessedWithSuck: His powers, not only can he not control his slugs, when they have to give back the energy from what they’ve devoured, the eat their way back into him (a very painful process for him). |
| 288 | * CasanovaWannabe: Big time, when he was an X-Man he hit on any women on the team, doesn’t matter if they’re hostile or married. |
| 289 | * CoolShades: Really likes wearing these. |
| 290 | * ExtremeOmnivore: The slugs within his body sure can eat. |
| 291 | * FluffyTheTerrible: He calls the slugs Eany and Meany. |
| 292 | * HealingFactor: Played with, Maggott himself cannot heal injuries, but whenever his slugs needs to return, they eat their way into him and somehow closes the wounds behind. |
| 293 | * JiveTurkey: It's ''South African'' slang, but it's often completely impenetrable. |
| 294 | * LovecraftianSuperpower: These seemed to be going around in the late 90s X-Books. |
| 295 | * OlderAlterEgo: Originally Maggott is just a skinny teenager with normal skin complexion, but when he powers up by his digestive matter-eating slugs, his skin turns blue and becomes musclebound to fight. |
| 296 | * ShooOutTheNewGuy: To a point that you'd think the TropeNamer is a ShoutOut to ''him''! He was only with the X-Men for a brief time before joining Generation-X for two issues before leaving. |
| 297 | * SuperStrength: What his extreme digestive system gave him. |

| 322 | A survivor of the ComicBook/AgeOfApocalypse, Nate Grey was created from the DNA of Scott Summers and Jean Grey by that reality's Mister Sinister as a weapon against Apocalypse. He was also designed with a genetic flaw that meant his powers often turned against him and would ultimately kill him, meaning he wouldn't remain as a threat to Sinister. Emerging at the physical age of 17 with all the vast psionic power that his half-brother Cable should have had and then some, he turned on his creator, defeated Apocalypse with Magneto's aid, and survived the collapse of the timeline. Afterward, hopeful but mistrustful and mistrusted thanks to his vast power and HairTriggerTemper, he spent a lot of time looking for somewhere to fit in and a cure for his condition, including bonding with his alternate reality parents - particularly [[MommasBoy his mother]]. A loner by nature, he briefly joined the X-Men to help the Mannites, before once again going their separate ways. He would eventually be a member of the X-Men again in his new reality, the ComicBook/AgeOfXMan. |
