19	----
20	* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Due to being born with (sometimes) frightening powers, mutants are often ostracized and disowned by normal humans. Charles Xavier created his school and the X-Men to improve that situation globally.
21	* AllYourBaseAreBelongToUs: Their home of operations, the X-Mansion, is ''constantly'' getting invaded, attacked, or blown up. Negasonic Teenage Warhead even lampshades this when Colossus tries to tell her the benefits of being an X-Men.
22	* BadassCrew: A team of some of the most powerful mutants who honed and mastered their powers under the guidance of Charles Xavier.
23	* BadassFamily: The Summers brothers.
24	* ChildSoldiers: In ''First Class'', Charles wants to avoid turning their young recruits (who are roughly in their mid to late teens) into this, but Erik points out that if they are going to stop Shaw, they need their own army. This comes up again in ''Apocalypse'' -- the roster is made of teenagers (Scott, Kurt, and Jean). Hank and Raven mention that Charles wants to avoid this, but even he admits to Raven in a [[invoked]]DeletedScene that with the world that they live in and how powerful they are (especially in Jean's case), they need to be trained to defend both themselves and other Mutants.
25	* EverybodysDeadDave: They've been almost completely wiped out in the BadFuture of ''Days of Future Past'', and completely wiped out in the future depicted in ''Logan''.
26	* FantasticRacism: They were the {{Trope Codifier}}s for this in the comics, after all. Most of their non-powered enemies are bigots who want to wipe them off the face of the Earth just because they were born differently.
27	* FamilyOfChoice: Due to the above, many of the members' actual biological family straight up disowned them due to their mutation. As a result, they see each other as family, with Charles Xavier being their incredibly loving and doting ParentalSubstitute even when they are well into adulthood.
28	* HeroesWithBadPublicity: No matter how many times they save humans from the latest threat (although, to be fair, those threats are usually other mutants) humans constantly treat them with hate, fear, and disgust. However, by the time of ''Dark Phoenix'' this is finally averted and they are seen as genuine heroes.
29	* {{Pragmatic Hero}}es: Downplayed and justified. They aren’t as outgoing as their comic book counterparts and usually keep a low profile, considering mutants' tendency to be blamed for anything bad happening surrounding them, no matter the circumstances. Thus, they only step in when the threat is too big for conventional human forces to handle (e.g. Brotherhood of Mutants, Sentinels, Apocalypse)
30	* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Charles Xavier. Along with being ''the'' BigGood of mutantkind, he provides the team (many of whom are his students) with unconditional love and support, and is a ParentalSubstitute to many, which has a result of many Mutants looking to him for guidance.
31	* SuperTeam: {{Differently Powered Individual}}s teaming up to fight for the peace between their kind and normal humanity.
32	* VillainsActHeroesReact: They usually don't go after the villain until the villain strikes first. Granted, considering their status, this is pretty justified.
