| 42 | |
| 43 | -> For tropes applying to Beast in the original timeline erased by ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', see the [[Characters/XMenFilmSeriesXMenOriginalTimeline X-Men (Original Timeline)]] page. |
| 44 | ---- |
| 45 | * AcePilot: Is shown to be a very skilled pilot in the ''First Class'' trilogy. |
| 46 | * AdaptationalAttractiveness: In the comics, his original (human) form included oversized hands and feet. In ''Film/XMenFirstClass'', while his feet are different than normal, they are still the right size and he has no problem passing for an ordinary human. |
| 47 | ** Also, Beast's original form in the comics was also a lot more brutish-looking, both facially and in build. He was also depicted as having an excessive amount of body hair. |
| 48 | * AdaptationalBadass: A [[DownplayedTrope downplayed]] example. He's never shown as especially more powerful or more combat capable than his canon counterpart but the films tend to highlight his fighting abilities more than his other attributes, such as his intellect. He was notably able to manhandle and nearly kill Erik, something not even Wolverine lacking adamantium could accomplish. |
| 49 | * AgeLift: In the comics, Beast is part of the X-Men's first line-up, and is about the same age as Cyclops, Jean Grey and Angel. |
| 50 | * AllTheOtherReindeer: Havok bullies [=McCoy=] even though they're both super-powered. Hank has a visible mutation while Alex doesn't. |
| 51 | * BadassBookworm: Hank [=McCoy=] earned his [=PhD=] (presumably in engineering and a biology-related field) from Harvard at the age of 15, as established in ''Film/XMenFirstClass''. When he's in his blue, furry Beast form, he's blessed with SuperStrength, and in ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', he's capable of defeating Magneto--not even an adamantium-less Wolverine was able to lay a single scratch on the metal-manipulating mutant. |
| 52 | * BattleButler: He essentially fulfills this role for Charles in ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast''. In addition to looking after his ex-mentor's needs and maintaining the mansion, [=McCoy=] also serves as Xavier's bodyguard. |
| 53 | %%* BeastMan: |
| 54 | * BerserkButton: He is shown to have two and Erik manages to press both of them. In ''Film/XMenFirstClass'', it's taunting his looks, especially post-transformation. Staring with ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', you can add threatening to harm or kill Mystique/Raven to the list. |
| 55 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: |
| 56 | ** ''Film/XMenFirstClass'': Magneto is on the receiving end of Beast's homicidal fury when he tries to compliment the latter's blue furry form (which Hank misinterprets as an insult), and [=McCoy=] strangles Erik in response. Only Xavier is able to talk Beast down. Jekyll and Hyde indeed. |
| 57 | ** ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'': After Magneto nearly [[spoiler:murders Mystique]], Beast goes into a fit of UnstoppableRage and almost succeeds in drowning [[spoiler:her]] attacker. |
| 58 | ** ''Film/DarkPhoenix'': [[spoiler: Mystique's accidental killing by Jean Grey causes him to team up with Magneto to try and kill her]]. |
| 59 | * BigBrotherInstinct: In ''Film/XMenApocalypse'', he behaves this way towards Cyclops. He designs a means to help the young man see without vaporizing everything. During the final battle, the two are constantly by each other's side, which is especially poignant considering [[spoiler:Scott's actual older brother and Hank's former teammate Alex had died earlier]]. |
| 60 | * BirdsOfAFeather: In ''Film/XMenFirstClass'', the bond is especially intense between [[IJustWantToBeNormal himself and Raven]] because they possess visible mutations, but they drift apart after the latter begins to accept her real appearance. |
| 61 | * BlessedWithSuck: This is his attitude towards his physical mutation throughout his youth. He goes through great lengths in order to mask what he perceives to be his body's grotesque deformities. |
| 62 | * BodyHorror: His transformation sequence in ''Film/XMenFirstClass'' depicted the process as rather painful and horrific, bones, muscles and skin shifting and stretching while fur aggressively sprouted along his body. |
| 63 | * BrainyBrunet: He's a doctoral-level scientist who graduated from Havard University at the age of 15. |
| 64 | * TheCameo: |
| 65 | ** His older, Creator/KelseyGrammer form appears [[spoiler:at the end of ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', having his between movies death reversed]]. |
| 66 | ** [[spoiler:He's briefly seen giving a lesson while Deadpool is at the X-Mansion in ''Film/Deadpool2''.]] |
| 67 | * TheChampion: He puts his entire life on hold for a decade in order to assist and defend the emotionally dysfunctional Charles in ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast''. Since [=McCoy=] is no longer Professor X's student, they both should be on equal footing, yet Beast continues to readily defer to Xavier's authority. This steadfast devotion demonstrates that Hank values Charles' well-being and safety above his own. |
| 68 | * CombatPragmatist: In ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', Hank performs a sneak attack against Magneto, almost concusses him against the pavement, and then attempts to drown the vastly more powerful mutant. |
| 69 | * CrazyPrepared: Unlike Charles in ''Film/XMenApocalypse'', Hank doesn't believe that human-mutant relations will always be smooth, and he has spent the past decade building a new model of the Blackbird (and presumably equipment, combat uniforms, etc.) so that the X-Men will be ready should things suddenly go south. As Creator/NicholasHoult [[http://www.joblo.com/movie-news/meet-the-x-men-apocalypse-cast-storm-magneto-cyclops-psylocke-more-943 puts it:]] |
| 70 | -->"Hank, since the last movie, still believes that the world kind of needs the X-Men, and that even though there's peace between humans and mutants at this point, he senses trouble and has kind of been building this jet war plan and kind of preparing for the worst." |
| 71 | * CuteBookworm: He's shy and geeky in ''Film/XMenFirstClass'', and Raven finds him endearing. |
| 72 | * DistressedDude: In ''Film/XMenApocalypse'', he is imprisoned by [[spoiler:Stryker]]. |
| 73 | * ExtremeDoormat: In between 1963 and 1973, he has willingly reduced himself to this so that he can keep a constant eye on the self-destructive Charles. Xavier is the sole person [=McCoy=] has left who fully accepts him for who he is, so Beast does everything he can to ensure that nothing bad happens to his OnlyFriend. |
| 74 | * GeniusBruiser: In ''Film/XMenFirstClass'', he goes from being a BadassBookworm at the beginning to being a Genius Bruiser towards the end. [[spoiler:This is because he injected himself with a substance that utterly transformed his appearance.]] When he's in his blue, furry Beast form, he's blessed with SuperStrength. In ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', he's capable of defeating Magneto--not even an adamantium-less Wolverine was able to lay a single scratch on the metal-manipulating mutant. |
| 75 | * GentleGiant: Huge and animal-like, but on the good guys' side. |
| 76 | * GentlemanAndAScholar: He's very friendly, prefers to avoid conflict, and truly comes out of his shell when in his comfort zones, such as discussing science or assisting with the other students. |
| 77 | * GoodFlawsBadFlaws: As a young man, he gets lack of self-confidence as one of his primary faults. He is one of Xavier's closest friends, so his personality can't be changed too drastically. |
| 78 | * HeterosexualLifePartners: |
| 79 | ** ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'': He and Charles are each other's OnlyFriend for a decade, so it's inevitable that they would develop a very close bond. There are moments of non-verbal (and non-telepathic) communication between the two men, like when Xavier gently taps Beast on the chest after he mutters to Logan, "I think I'd like to wake up now." [=McCoy=] immediately understands that the gesture means, "You can calm down now, our visitor is not a threat," and he reverts back to his human form. |
| 80 | ** ''Film/XMenApocalypse'': He and Charles retain their close friendship from ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', and it's a lot healthier now because [=McCoy=] is no longer Xavier's enabler, and they've ceased to be co-dependent. They also behave more like peers, as Hank is a teacher, and he has grown out of being needy of his former mentor's approval. |
| 81 | * HideYourOtherness: |
| 82 | ** ''Film/XMenFirstClass'': Fearful of humanity's negative reaction to mutants, he firmly lives by this philosophy. |
| 83 | ** ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'': He is very uncomfortable with his blue, furry form, and he creates a serum which temporarily suppresses his mutation so that he can appear human. |
| 84 | ** ''Film/XMenApocalypse'': He carries less angst regarding his blue form, but still "keeps him under wraps" because it simply isn't practical for his everyday life, especially the heightened aggression the Beast brings out in him. |
| 85 | * HulkingOut: In ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', Beast uses a serum that allows him to maintain a balance between his human and mutant appearances. When he's angry or aroused[[note]]as demonstrated in ''The Rogue Cut''[[/note]] enough, his mutation kicks in, and he returns to human form once he's calmed down. |
| 86 | * IWasQuiteALooker: He used to be EndearinglyDorky before his Beast transformation. |
| 87 | * LivingEmotionalCrutch: In ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', he is this to the emotionally fragile Charles; the latter is so desperate to escape from his mental pain that he would most likely have died from alcohol poisoning if [=McCoy=] wasn't around to supervise him. |
| 88 | * KarmicTransformation: In ''Film/XMenFirstClass'', his transformation into Beast is tragic, but he brought it on himself. He makes it a little more karmic by being insensitive to Raven just before using it. She tells him he's perfect just the way he is and doesn't need the "cure," and he responds with: |
| 89 | -->'''Hank''': It behooves me to tell you that even if we save the world tomorrow, and mutants are accepted into society, my feet and your natural blue form will never be deemed beautiful. |
| 90 | --> ''(Raven shifts back to her human-looking morph.)'' |
| 91 | -->'''Hank''': You look beautiful ''now.'' |
| 92 | ** Bonus points for his mutation being relatively minor, before it becomes much more pronounced after taking the serum. |
| 93 | * NerdGlasses: He wears the horn-rimmed variety in the First Class trilogy, which in his case is a visual cue that he's a geeky academic. |
| 94 | * NerdsAreSexy: He is like an introverted version of Charles; all the brilliance, all the attractiveness, but none of the latter's telepathic gift with people. This is further accentuated in ''The Rogue Cut'' when Raven removes Hank's eyewear in order to see his face more clearly, and she kisses him shortly afterwards. |
| 95 | * NiceGuy: [[InnocentlyInsensitive Innocent Insensitivity]] and some hot headed moments aside, Hank is very polite and cares a lot for others. Not to mention he took care of Charles when the latter was at a very dark low point at the time of ''Days of Future Past'' for what time wise must've been ''half a decade''. |
| 96 | * OldFlame: In ''The Rogue Cut'', he and Mystique ''definitely'' still have feelings for each other despite being separated for over a decade. Hank still carry torches for Raven in ''Film/XMenApocalypse''. In ''Film/DarkPhoenix'' they talk about the possibility of running away together, and [[spoiler: Raven's last words are saying "I love you" to Hank.]] |
| 97 | * OnlyFriend: In ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', after Charles isolates himself from the outside world due to his severe depression, Hank becomes his sole companion. |
| 98 | * ParentalSubstitute: In ''Film/XMenApocalypse'', he is a teacher at the school, and he has a [[http://collider.com/x-men-apocalypse-news-things-to-know/ paternal relationship with the younger mutants.]] He begins to form a bond with Scott. |
| 99 | * PermaStubble: He has light stubble throughout ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'' which is meant to make him look older than his clean-shaven appearance in ''First Class''. |
| 100 | * PowerPerversionPotential: Raven jokingly insinuates in ''Film/XMenFirstClass'' that Hank's large, ape-like feet might be an indication that he has a [[BiggerIsBetterInBed massive penis]]. |
| 101 | * PrettyBoy: |
| 102 | ** ''Film/XMenFirstClass'': He is quite similar to Xavier (just younger and a lot more insecure), and while this may be a coincidence, it's nevertheless convenient that he shares some facial features with his mentor, like pale skin, blue eyes and thick reddish lips. The one big physical difference between them is that Hank is a lot taller. |
| 103 | ** ''Film/XMenApocalypse'': Repeating a theme from ''First Class'' is him being a mirror image of Charles with a few key differences. [=McCoy=] remains pretty and boyish in a similar way to Xavier, but despite being a decade younger, he is much more cautious and realistic than his ex-mentor, and he makes plans to ensure that the X-Men have everything they need when (and not if) the peace between mutants and humans is shattered. |
| 104 | * ProfessorGuineaPig: In ''First Class'', he is the first test subject for his appearance cure because there is not a big pool of test subjects for this sort of thing. |
| 105 | * TheReliableOne: He assumes responsibility for Charles and the estate after his friend becomes an emotional train wreck in ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast''. |
| 106 | * SatelliteCharacter: Despite receiving a fair amount of screen time in ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', he doesn't undergo any proper character development, as his existence ''completely'' revolves around Charles. |
| 107 | * TheSmartGuy: He's incredibly intelligent and a brilliant scientist who has invented most of the nifty tools and gadgets (X-Jet, Cerebro, etc.) that the X-Men use. |
| 108 | * TransformationTrinket: He makes a serum that temporarily reverts him from "blue Beast" to "Nicholas Hoult" in ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast''. [[spoiler:It comes to save him as a Sentinel is about to attack, as the serum not only disguises him but cloaks his X-gene as well.]] |
| 109 | * {{Trekkie}}: It's hinted in ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'' that he is a fan of ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'' (an episode is playing on one of his [=TVs=]), which is fitting considering that he's a nerd. He describes Peter's mutation as "fascinating," which is a reference to Spock. Creator/BryanSinger's favourite fandom is ''Franchise/StarTrek'', so it's natural that he would want to bestow that quality on the character (who, coincidentally, can be called Dr. [=McCoy=]). His Trekkie-ness is more obvious in ''The Rogue Cut'' because Beast is enjoying the episode while sipping a beverage. |
| 110 | * UndyingLoyalty: To Charles Xavier. From the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962 to the rise of the Sentinels in the BadFuture, Hank always remains at Xavier's and the X-Men's side. And he won't hesitate to protect him, either. In ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', there are plenty of other things that he could do with his time, yet he chooses to take care of Charles during the latter's decade-long HeroicBSOD. Hank may even be a little ''too'' loyal because he serves as an enabler by providing a serum which worsens his friend's already bad case of substance abuse. |
| 111 | * UnstoppableRage: When he fights Magneto in ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', it's decidedly in Beast's favour, to the extent that [[spoiler:Beast almost drowns him. Magneto only barely manages to save himself by using a nearby sculpture to restrain Beast.]] |
| 112 | * WouldHitAGirl: In ''Film/XMenApocalypse'', he performs a CatchAndReturn with a car that Storm had launched at the X-Men, and he goes on the offensive when the homicidal Psylocke fights him. |

| 121 | |
| 122 | A mutant who has the ability to absorb energy and discharge it as blasts. He is the much older brother of Scott Summers. |
| 123 | ---- |
| 124 | * EightiesHair: Has a mullet in 1983. |
| 125 | * AccidentalSuicide: [[spoiler:In ''Apocalypse'', Alex attempts to shoot Apocalypse but his shot misses and hits the engine of the Blackbird, which detonates, blowing him up.]] |
| 126 | * AdaptationDyeJob: His energy blasts are blue in the comics, red in the films. |
| 127 | * AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: Downplayed. While he's not one of the ''original'' X-Men in the comics, he does make his first appearance a few years after they debuted, and is one of the first new recruits to the team. However, he joins the X-Men two ''decades'' before his brother Scott, one of the original members in the comics where Alex joined the team after his brother. |
| 128 | * AdaptationalPersonalityChange: The comic version of Alex is almost defined by his raging inferiority complex, insecurities and his need to compare himself to Cyclops. This version has none of those issues and is far more stable because of it. |
| 129 | * AgeLift: Given the decision to make him one of the original students and to avoid ComicBookTime. In the comics, he's Cyclops' '''''younger brother''''', but his movie counterpart is about 20 years older than Scott. |
| 130 | * BigBrotherInstinct: In ''Film/XMenApocalypse'', he brings Scott to Xavier's school in the hope that his former mentor can help his younger brother cope with his potentially dangerous mutant power. |
| 131 | * TheBigGuy: Despite not being the largest or physically strongest, his powers are ''much'' more destructive than those of the other young mutants in ''Film/XMenFirstClass'', and he's far more likely to pick a fight than the more docile Hank. |
| 132 | * ChestBlaster: In ''Film/XMenFirstClass'', his suit is designed to focus his energy and discharge it from a device in his chest. By ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', he no longer needs the suit. |
| 133 | * CoolShades: Sports '80s-style sunglasses in ''Film/XMenApocalypse''. |
| 134 | %% * DeadpanSnarker |
| 135 | * DemotedToExtra: He appears in the beginning of ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'' to be rescued by Mystique and never shows up afterwards. Still, at least he survived, unlike the rest of the ''Film/XMenFirstClass'' cast; everyone who didn't appear in the earlier/canonically later movies were unceremoniously killed off in between films. Of course, he had to survive because in the movie-verse, he's Cyclops' much older brother. [[spoiler: He's BackfortheDead in ''Film/XMenApocalyse'' though.]] |
| 136 | * DoomedByCanon: Not only was he never mentioned in the original films, but he didn't appear after the CosmicRetcon in ''Days of Future Past'' either. [[spoiler: While it doesn't explain his fate in the original timeline, this version of Alex died during ''Apocalypse'']] |
| 137 | * {{Fanservice}}: In ''Film/XMenFirstClass'', he displays his bare, muscular arms during training, plus a section of his chest is exposed when the energy output device is removed from his combat uniform. |
| 138 | * FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: He's the more responsible one of the Summers brothers, while Scott, being younger, is a rebel. |
| 139 | * HellBentForLeather: His black leather jacket in ''Film/XMenFirstClass'' marks him as a bad boy in comparison to the other mutant recruits. |
| 140 | * ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy: When he starts to practice controlling his powers, he first ends up shooting everything EXCEPT his intended target. While he really was trying to aim, he couldn't control the sheer force of his powers yet. After some training, he becomes much better at targeting and controlling his blasts. |
| 141 | * JerkJock: A downplayed example in ''Film/XMenFirstClass'' as he's not as bad as what this trope is normally associated with, but he's verbally abusive towards the geeky Hank, and Alex even fits the blond stereotype. |
| 142 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He bullies Hank and is generally pretty abrasive. Later, he sticks by his friends when Shaw comes, and does grow to like and respect Hank. |
| 143 | * LongHairedPrettyBoy: In ''Film/XMenApocalypse'' due to his mullet. |
| 144 | * MagicFeather: The chest blaster device helps him control his energy blasts, but eventually it gets damaged. He eventually gains enough control over it to aim his uncontrolled blasts effectively, clipping Angel's wings with them. |
| 145 | * NoBodyLeftBehind: [[spoiler: Completely immolated by the explosion at the mansion.]] |
| 146 | * OnlySaneMan: Ironically plays this to Professor X when the latter gets a little too [[DistractedByTheSexy distracted while ogling at Moira.]] |
| 147 | * PersonOfMassDestruction: He's fearful of the damage his powers could do if he isn't kept isolated, and so prefers being in solitary confinement while in prison so he is at less risk of hurting someone by accident. |
| 148 | * PowerIncontinence: In ''Film/XMenFirstClass'', he can emit powerful energy blasts, but he can't control their direction. This problem is solved by a special harness, which he even refers to as his "energy diaper" in a deleted scene. |
| 149 | * RapeAsBackstory: Or attempted rape. A deleted scene mentioned that Alex was involved in a very violent incident with "two inmates in the showers." The implications of why a young, attractive man would need to fight off two men in a prison shower are clear. |
| 150 | * SacrificialLion: [[spoiler:He's only one of five characters to appear in every entry of the First Class trilogy, but because he's the least developed, he's killed off in ''Film/XMenApocalypse''.]] |
| 151 | * SleevesAreForWimps: In ''Film/XMenFirstClass'' during the training scenes, everyone gets matching grey tracksuits. His, inexplicably, doesn't have sleeves. |
| 152 | * WouldHitAGirl: Angel Salvadore attacks him and Banshee with her highly acidic spit balls, so once he and his teammate land safely on a beach, Havok unleashes his power and burns her wings. |
| 153 | * UndyingLoyalty: Although he was under Professor X's tutelage for no more than a year when he was a teen [[note]]it started from the lead-up to the Cuban Missile Crisis and it ended when Alex was drafted for UsefulNotes/TheVietnamWar after Xavier's school was open for only one semester[[/note]], he remains grateful for the help that Charles gave to him [[Film/XMenApocalypse two decades later]]. Havok is the first one to run after the Professor and try to rescue him when his ex-mentor is seized by Magneto. |
| 154 | * {{Unishment}}: Given a passing mention in ''Film/XMenFirstClass''. A prison guard where he was staying at the beginning of the film remarks that he's "the only prisoner I've ever seen who actually ''prefers'' solitary." Sure enough, when we first see him, Alex is in solitary. A subversion, since Alex doesn't really ''enjoy'' solitary, he's trying to stay away from people so he doesn't actually hurt them with the energy blasts that are his mutant power, and which he has great difficulty in controlling. |

| 185 | ---- |
| 186 | * AdaptationalBackstoryChange: In the comics, Scott grew up in an orphanage and on the streets after a plane crash supposedly killed his family and eventually becomes Xavier's first student, only discovering later that both his father and younger brother survived. Here, he lives with his parents, knows his ''older'' brother, and doesn't meet Xavier until twenty years after the X-Men are founded. |
| 187 | * AdaptationPersonalityChange: In the comics, young Scott is polite, quiet, socially awkward, and generally straightlaced, as well as prone to repressing all his emotions and putting the mission above all else. Here, he's rude and sarcastic to everyone, and while his methods of dealing with grief may be unhealthy, he doesn't repress it and pretend he's fine. However, after the events of the film, he may be veering towards something closer to his traditional characterization. |
| 188 | * AgeLift: As noted with Havok, in the comics, Scott's the older sibling of the two by a few years. Here, he's the younger one by a couple of decades. |
| 189 | * AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Alex either rolls his eyes or ignores his younger brother Scott whenever the latter complains or is impolite. |
| 190 | * BirdsOfAFeather: The main reason he initially bonds with Jean is a mix of feeling apologetic over being rude to her earlier and empathizing with her control issues, much like his own. |
| 191 | * TheCameo: [[spoiler:He's briefly seen giving a lesson while Deadpool is at the X-Mansion in ''Film/Deadpool2''.]] |
| 192 | * CrashIntoHello: Meets Jean this way in ''Film/XMenApocalypse'', but can't actually see her due to wearing a blindfold at that time. |
| 193 | * DeadpanSnarker: Probably his defining personality trait throughout the film; he snarks off to just about everyone, from JerkJock classmates to his brother to the Professor to Jean when they first meet, although he apologizes to the latter the next day. |
| 194 | * EyeBeams: When his eyes are uncovered, they shoot red beams uncontrollably. |
| 195 | * FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: He's the rebel of the Summers brothers, while Alex, being older, is the more responsible one. |
| 196 | * HellBentForLeather: In ''Film/XMenApocalypse'', his teenage self is dressed in a leather jacket which is mostly artichoke green with some blue on the front. |
| 197 | * ImprobableAimingSkills: Averted in ''Apocalypse''; Scott doesn't have his visor until the end, so before that, each time he needs to fire, he needs to take his glasses off, causing him to initially miss and have to adjust his aim while he's firing. Essentially, he ''can'' hit his target, but will do so after first firing at the ground below the target and giving them a warning to move. |
| 198 | * TheLeader: Scott takes the initiative when he, Jean and Kurt decide that they should try to save Hank, Raven, Peter and Moira from [[spoiler:Stryker]]. Cyclops is the Levelheaded type because he's always thinking about the best strategy to circumvent whatever obstacles they encounter. |
| 199 | * ManlyTears: [[spoiler:Visibly weeps when his brother, Alex, is killed in ''Film/XMenApocalypse''.]] |
| 200 | * NiceGuy: Played with in ''Film/XMenApocalypse'', where he's initially rude and snarky to everyone around him. After [[spoiler:his brother Alex dies]], he veers towards his classic characterization of a "boy scout." |
| 201 | * NotSoDifferentRemark: In a deleted scene, both Alex and Charles note that Scott's behavior isn't all that different from Alex's when he first arrived at the mansion. |
| 202 | * OddFriendship: Much like his brother's friendship with Hank, Scott seems to quickly become friends with Kurt when he shows up; part of his motivation for skipping school is to show Kurt around an American mall for the first time in his life. |
| 203 | * SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: The snarky, patriotic, bad boy Manly Man to Kurt's Sensitive Guy. |
| 204 | * SkippingSchool: On his second day at Xavier's school, he's "already up for a prison break," and persuades Kurt, Jean and Jubilee to hang out at the mall instead of being "cooped up" in class. |
| 205 | * SunglassesAtNight: As stated, he has to wear sunglasses everywhere at all times or things tend to get destroyed by his eye beams. |
| 206 | * TookALevelInBadass: Like no-other in Dark Phoenix. Even to the point of ''overhelming Magneto straight up''. |
| 207 | * TimeShiftedActor: One actor has portrayed him during his adult years, but two different thespians have played him as a teen. |
| 208 | * WouldHitAGirl: In ''Film/XMenApocalypse'', he tries to target Storm with his EyeBeam, and she barely manages to get out of the way. |
| 209 | ** In Dark Phoenix he blasts Selene unconscious. |

| 221 | |
| 222 | A young mutant in Cairo who steals things to feed the street orphans she has taken under her wing. Apocalypse recruits her as one of his Horsemen by exploiting her desire to right injustice in the world. |
| 223 | |
| 224 | -> For tropes applying to Storm in the original timeline erased by ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', see the [[Characters/XMenFilmSeriesXMenOriginalTimeline X-Men (Original Timeline)]] page. |
| 225 | ---- |
| 226 | * ActionGirl: One of the most powerful X-Men. |
| 227 | * AdaptationDyeJob: In a way. Traditionally, Storm was worshipped by her tribe for her weather powers ''and'' being born with white hair--the movie-verse shows that it used to be black. The mohawk's still there, though. |
| 228 | * AdaptationalNationality: She was Kenyan in the comics (and also American and lived in Cairo until she was about twelve; Ororo's traveled a lot). In the film, she's most likely Egyptian. |
| 229 | * AdaptationPersonalityChange: Not quite of the AdaptationalVillainy variety, but she is certainly more morally ambiguous than her comic-book counterpart, seeing as how she was perfectly willing to help Apocalypse wipe out the human race--although this seems to be more a mixture of fear and awe towards him than any explicit agreement with his intentions. Needless to say, when she sees him for the dictator and BrokenPedestal he really is, she [[spoiler:turns on him rather quickly]]. Also, while both versions of Ororo started out as a thief, Storm was originally one of the few mutants not considered to be an outcast for her powers, and was actually worshipped like a benevolent goddess for helping bring prosperity to her people. |
| 230 | * AdaptationalWimp: In the original timeline and the comics, she was capable of controlling entire weather systems, bringing down tornadoes and worse at will. Here, she uses bursts of wind as a distraction, and even after being empowered by Apocalypse, she only uses a few lightning bolts instead of an entire storm. It might be justified since she is far younger and thus less experienced when she appears in ''Apocalypse''. |
| 231 | * BeamOWar: In ''Film/XMenApocalypse'', she and Scott get into one during their battle scene. |
| 232 | * BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: The most probable reason she went along with Apocalypse, seeing as how he saved her from having her hand chopped off and all. |
| 233 | * BlowYouAway: Control of the weather includes powerful winds. |
| 234 | * CombatStilettos: She wears wedge heels with her Horseman [[spoiler:and X-Man attire]]. |
| 235 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: She was a thief before joining the X-Men. |
| 236 | * DarkActionGirl: In ''Film/XMenApocalypse'', she wields enough power to [[spoiler:attack Jean, Cyclops and Beast simultaneously and overpower Scott in their BeamOWar]]. |
| 237 | * DelinquentHair: She sported a mohawk as a teen during the '80s. |
| 238 | * {{Delinquents}}: In ''Film/XMenApocalypse'', she steals from market vendors in order to survive the streets of Cairo. |
| 239 | * ElectricBlackGuy: Lightning is just another aspect of weather after all. |
| 240 | * EvilCostumeSwitch: In ''Film/XMenApocalypse'', Ororo is given black armour with silver highlights by Apocalypse, and her new code name is Storm. |
| 241 | * ExpositoryHairstyleChange: [[spoiler:Going by her appearance in ''Deadpool 2'', she's grown out her mohawk into a shaggy mop top, representative of her growing out of her rebellious ways.]] |
| 242 | * GoodCostumeSwitch: [[spoiler:In ''Film/XMenApocalypse'', she [[http://s24.postimg.org/43av3q139/New_Costumes.jpg dons the X-suit]] after her HeelFaceTurn.]] |
| 243 | * HeelFaceTurn: She undergoes this in [[spoiler:''Film/XMenApocalypse''. She joins Apocalypse as one of his Horsemen, but once Apocalypse starts choking the life out of Mystique (Storm's hero), she [[http://s24.postimg.org/43av3q139/New_Costumes.jpg switches sides and becomes an X-Man.]]]] |
| 244 | * HeroWorshipper: Like many mutants, she considers Mystique to be a great fighter, a hero, and aspires to be like her. |
| 245 | * MonochromaticEyes: When using her powers. |
| 246 | * {{Multi-Ethnic Name}}: First name Ororo is presumably Swahili but has an English sounding surname Munroe. It is unclear if the film Storm is intended to be half White like both of her actress are. |
| 247 | * MundaneUtility: She makes ice cubes for Scott's drink at the party in ''Dark Phoenix''. |
| 248 | * MysticalWhiteHair: A side-effect of her power boost gained from Apocalypse. |
| 249 | * OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Regularly referred to as Storm, not Ororo or Munroe. |
| 250 | * ParentalAbandonment: [[http://ca.ign.com/articles/2016/01/21/10-things-we-learned-on-the-set-of-x-men-apocalypse?page=1 Alexandra Shipp]] confirms that Ororo's parents died when a plane crashed into their home when she was five years old. |
| 251 | * PowerDyesYourHair: Apocalypse's empowering of her causes her black hair to turn white. |
| 252 | * PowerFloats: Can fly through wind manipulation. |
| 253 | * ShockAndAwe: Storm as in ''lightning'' storm. |
| 254 | * SleevesAreForWimps: Unlike her male teammates, Storm's Horsemen apparel exposes her arms. |
| 255 | * TeamMom: She's the matriarch of her small band of street urchins in ''Film/XMenApocalypse''. She steals to feed them, and they obey her when she shoos them off so that she can have a private conversation with Apocalypse. |
| 256 | * TeamMemberInTheAdaptation: Unlike the comics, this version started off as a member of the Horsemen. |
| 257 | * TimeShiftedActor: She is portrayed by two different actresses: one as an adult and the other as a teen. |
| 258 | * TroubledButCute: During her youth in Cairo, she was a skilled thief before Apocalypse takes her under his wing. |

| 271 | |
| 272 | ->''"[Magneto] left my mom before I was born. I met him ten years back, but I didn't know it was him. By the time I figured it out, it was too late. Then I saw him on TV again, and I came to the house looking for him, but by the time I got there... Late again. You know, for a guy who moves as fast as me, I always seem to be too late."'' |
| 273 | |
| 274 | A mischievous speedster who is a member of the X-Men in the AlternateTimeline. He is the son of Magneto. |
| 275 | ---- |
| 276 | * SeventiesHair: In ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', his glam mop upset many fans in promotional materials, but it fits in with the era perfectly. Note the length and the silver sideburns. |
| 277 | * EightiesHair: He rocks a mullet in ''Film/XMenApocalypse''. |
| 278 | * AdaptationNameChange: His real name is changed from "Pietro Maximoff" to the more Americanized "Peter Maximoff". Presumably, this is due to the fact that the film version of Quicksilver was raised in the U.S., while his comic counterpart grew up in Eastern Europe. A supplementary website, 25 Moments, still refers to him as Pietro and so does the Italian dub. |
| 279 | * AdaptationalBadass: He's one of the fastest Mutants in the Marvel comics universe, but he has limitations on just how fast and is generally well under the speed of sound; in inter-company crossovers, he's usually outpaced by Franchise/TheFlash, who ''can'' go the speed of sound. Here, Quicksilver is much faster, closer to The Flash's level, and he has all the secondary powers you'd expect from someone with superspeed -- he can break glass by vibrating it with his hands, he can redirect bullets in mid-flight, has functional super strength thanks to the momentum of his punches, and he can move faster than the eye can see, to the point Hank initially thought he was teleporting. In '' Apocalypse'', he rescues ''all'' of Xavier's students from [[spoiler:the exploding X Mansion]] in what is, at best, a couple of seconds, and he's able to momentarily beat up Apocalypse before he catches onto what's happening. |
| 280 | * AdaptationalNationality: The Eastern European Pietro Maximoff has been Americanized into Peter Maximoff. |
| 281 | * AdaptationalHeroism: |
| 282 | ** ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'': In the comics, he is often an outright ''jerk'' (often intentionally), but in this film, he's more of a merry mischief-maker. Also, he could have easily fled on his own once the breakout goes bust, but instead, he goes out of his way to save Logan, Charles and Erik, even though he had already freed the latter from prison by technicality. Quicksilver is also clearly not impressed (if amused) by the idea that he helped free the person suspected of killing JFK once he finds out, [[spoiler:and is shown to be stunned and horrified by Magneto's "demonstration" in the climax]]. |
| 283 | ** ''Film/XMenApocalypse'': Comic book Quicksilver was never a member of the X-Men (only of ComicBook/TheAvengers), but his movie counterpart is. He also [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14JojQfFg5E expresses his veneration]] for Mystique's courage in defeating Magneto--his own father--and preventing the latter from assassinating President Nixon.[[note]]This confirms Peter's ReactionShot in ''Days of Future Past'' where he was astonished--in a bad way--by Magneto's actions in Washington D.C.[[/note]] |
| 284 | * AdaptationalJerkass: In the comics, he may be a world-class asshole and suffer from HeelFaceRevolvingDoor, but he is well-meaning at the core and can be counted on to do the right thing. In ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', he's just a bored teenager with a kleptomaniac streak who doesn't really care about being a productive member of society and who has to have the breakout sold to him as an opportunity to raise hell, as it's clear that he probably wouldn't have done it of his own volition otherwise. By the time of ''Apocalypse'' however, his heroism has become selfless (certainly inspired by his quest to find his father) and he joins the X-Men for good. |
| 285 | * AgeLift: Is closer in age to Cyclops and Jean in the comics, but he's a decade older than them in the movie-verse. |
| 286 | * AllergicToRoutine: Because he experiences time much more slowly than everyone else, he gets bored very easily, so he treats life like it's one big game. He gets his thrills by stealing whatever catches his fancy, and Xavier observes that Peter is a kleptomaniac. |
| 287 | * AmbiguousSituation: His fate by 2023, in both the original and new timelines, is unknown. |
| 288 | * AscendedExtra: He has a small, but memorable role in ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast''. In ''Film/XMenApocalypse'', he is a member of the main cast and takes part in the film's climax. |
| 289 | * AutobotsRockOut: On two occassions, Peter uses his SuperSpeed to save people accompanied by pop music ("[[Music/JimCroce Time in a Bottle]]" in the first, "[[Music/{{Eurythmics}} Sweet Dreams]]" in the second). |
| 290 | * BasementDweller: He is around 27 years old in 1983, and he still lives in the basement of his mother's house. |
| 291 | * BeneathTheMask: His jovial facade hides some deep-seated daddy issues regarding his estranged father, Magneto. |
| 292 | -->'''Quicksilver''': He left my mom before I was born. I met him ten years back, but I didn't know it was him. By the time I figured it out, it was too late. Then I saw him on TV again, and I came to the house looking for him, but by the time I got there... ''(sighs)'' Late again. You know, for a guy who moves as fast as me, I always seem to be too late. |
| 293 | * BigBrotherInstinct: Is seen playing with his little sister in ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast''. He's even willing to sit down and watch television with her, which is heartwarming considering how hyperactive the guy is. |
| 294 | * BigEater: During the scene where he is evacuating everyone from the mansion, he rescues a dog eating pizza out of a box on the floor. Notice that the dog has a slice in its mouth, and the pizza box is almost full. There's a blur, the pizza box is suddenly empty, and he rushes the dog outside. He ''ate the rest of the pizza'' before saving the dog. And also chugs the rest of a girl's drink after pulling her out of the mansion. Well, he probably did need to replenish calories from all the running he was doing. |
| 295 | ** This trait also shows up more subtly in the previous film: the stolen goods in his basement/bedroom include a ''lot'' of boxes of snack foods; he's seen polishing off a popsicle while talking to Charles, Hank, and Logan; he tastes some of the food during the iconic kitchen scene; and right after he breaks the glass in Erik's prison cell (while the camera is focused on Erik hauling himself out), Peter appears to be chewing on something in the background, presumably the food he'd just brought in for Erik as part of his disguise. |
| 296 | * BreakTheCutie: ''Literally'' in ''Film/XMenApocalypse''. He's a ManChild living in his mother's basement who simply wanted to meet his estranged father. When he seeks the Professor's help in locating Magneto, Peter is abducted, imprisoned and interrogated by [[spoiler:Stryker]]. He joins the X-Men when they head to Cairo, but the reunion Maximoff had longed for with Erik doesn't come to fruition because he learns that the older mutant has another family and is [[spoiler:mourning their deaths]]. Quicksilver fears that Magneto may not embrace him as a son because Lehnsherr doesn't love his mother, so Peter assists Mystique in attempting to take down Apocalypse. The god-like mutant then [[spoiler:breaks Maximoff's leg, which leaves the latter thoroughly vulnerable, and it seems that Quicksilver will meet his death at the tip of Psylocke's katana]]. |
| 297 | * BreakoutCharacter: He quickly became a fan-favorite after his introduction in ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', and was heavily featured in advertisement promoting ''Film/XMenApocalypse'', including the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z76fSElJu8o V energy drink ad]] and the one for [[http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x4euik8 Skyfibre]]. |
| 298 | * BrilliantButLazy: Quicksilver is an incredibly powerful mutant, but the result of his powerset is that the rest of the world seems so ''slow'' to him. The result is that he's rather bored and uninterested in a lot of things, and only gets involved in things he has a personal interest in, which may be as simple an interest as his own momentary amusement. |
| 299 | * BrokeYourArmPunchingOutCthulhu: Well, not his ''arm''. He utilizes his super speed to punch and kick Apocalypse a few times. [[spoiler:The latter catches on and traps Peter's left foot into the ground, twists his arm, and then ''brutally'' breaks his right leg. As a result, in the final scene, said leg is in a cast.]] |
| 300 | * BulletTime: His signature scenes have the entire world slowing down when he runs. |
| 301 | * TheCameo: He's briefly seen with his fellow X-Men while Deadpool is at the X-Mansion in ''Film/Deadpool2''. |
| 302 | * CharacterDevelopment: In ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', he's a petty thief who only goes along to rescue Magneto for the thrill of breaking into the Pentagon. By ''Film/XMenApocalypse'', he has matured greatly and [[spoiler:single-handedly saves everyone at the X-Mansion when it explodes [[ComesGreatResponsibility because he can]]]]. |
| 303 | * TheCharmer: In ''Film/XMenApocalypse'', during the jet ride to Cairo, Quicksilver (who is a stranger to all of the X-Men present except for Beast[[note]]and Hank had only met the speedster once a decade ago[[/note]]) freely admits that he's a "total loser," but instead of sounding pathetic, his allies are amused and charmed by his self-deprecation. While it's not strictly part of canon, [[http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x4euik8 this commercial]] depicts Peter as a romantic suitor when he tries to woo a young woman with his [[PowerPerversionPotential super-speed]]. Since this ad was approved by the producers, we can infer that it's part of his personality to court a lady with roses and candlelight. |
| 304 | * ChivalrousPervert: In ''Film/XMenApocalypse'', he blows a couple of kisses at Moira and holds her in a traditional dance pose before rescuing her from [[spoiler:an explosion]]. [[http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x4euik8 In this commercial,]] Quicksilver ''sniffs the hair'' of the girl he's (very much) interested in, and he performs elaborate gestures just so that she can better enjoy the romantic movie she's watching. |
| 305 | * CivvieSpandex: He does not wear a costume in ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', but instead has a "cool jacket" and a pair of goggles. |
| 306 | * ColorCodedCharacters: His civilian attire is usually accompanied by something silver, whether it's a jacket, pants, sneakers and/or sunglasses. |
| 307 | * CompositeCharacter: He looks and acts like his comic-counterpart's nephew, [[ComicBook/YoungAvengers Speed]], and even wears a similar pair of goggles. |
| 308 | * CoolShades: Used to overcome anything that can impair his sight while in super speed. He owns a pair of '80s-style silver sunglasses in ''Film/XMenApocalypse''. |
| 309 | * DeadpanSnarker: Almost every line out of his mouth is a wisecrack. |
| 310 | * {{Delinquents}}: As a teen, he was a juvenile delinquent whose favourite hobby was [[FiveFingerDiscount shoplifting]]. |
| 311 | * DeusExitMachina: In ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', he EASILY takes out the guards in Magneto's prison, and is faster than anybody, even two powerful mutants--and one with enhanced senses--can react. Combining him with Xavier in locating either Trask or Mystique would've wrapped the plot up in far shorter time and at least half the damage. So naturally, he's out of the story once the break-out scene is over, save for a cameo near the end. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] in that he only worked with the mutants because of the opportunity to pull off the heist of a lifetime. |
| 312 | ** In ''Dark Phoenix'', he is incapacitated very quickly during the X-Men's first fight with the Phoenix-powered Jean, and has to sit out the rest of the movie. |
| 313 | * DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: He's the first person to ever lay a beat down on [[PhysicalGod Apocalypse]], although it doesn't last and ends up becoming a case of BrokeYourArmPunchingOutCthulhu (or leg, in this case). |
| 314 | * DisappearedDad: He tells Mystique in ''Film/XMenApocalypse'' that Magneto left his mother before he was born, and Ms. Maximoff remains bitter at Erik for how he had treated her. She even tries to dissuade her son from attempting to contact his father. |
| 315 | * DistressedDude: In ''Film/XMenApocalypse'', Stryker captures him, Raven, Hank, and Moira so he could question them about the disturbances caused by Apocalypse. They get freed by Scott, Jean, and Kurt. And later in the same film, Apocalypse seriously injures him and offers him up to Psylocke to kill. The only reason he survives that is because "Psylocke" is actually Mystique in disguise, and even then, they ''both'' end up needing to be rescued. |
| 316 | * DressingAsTheEnemy: He dons the uniform (which conveniently fits him perfectly) of a Pentagon guard that he has BoundAndGagged so that he can reach Magneto's prison cell. |
| 317 | * FamilyOfChoice: Ironically, he chooses to be mentored by Charles instead of beginning a relationship with his estranged father Erik in ''Film/XMenApocalypse''. Although Peter doesn't know either man well at this point, his decision strongly suggests that he feels a greater affinity towards Xavier (see the {{Foil}} entry), who did briefly display his paternal side towards Maximoff before they had parted ways in ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast''. |
| 318 | * FlashStep: A natural application of his mutant ability is to cross a room in a heartbeat. |
| 319 | * {{Foil}}: To Professor X in ''Film/XMenApocalypse''. They are GlassCannon mutants with a StoryBreakerPower in addition to being light-hearted, charismatic {{Pretty Boy}}s and {{Chivalrous Pervert}}s, and they even share an attraction towards Moira.[[note]]It's downplayed in Quicksilver's case, but he is flirty with her just before he saves her from [[spoiler:an explosion at Xavier's school]].[[/note]] They have both undergone a ManChild phase and have parental issues--Peter grew up [[DisappearedDad fatherless]], and Charles had experienced [[ParentalNeglect emotional neglect]] from his mother. Maximoff and Xavier are Erik's biological son and brother figure, respectively (and Magneto had abandoned both of them), yet ironically, Quicksilver is more comfortable staying with the Professor (who will become his mentor and ParentalSubstitute) than revealing to Lehnsherr that they're related. Xavier also shows an almost fatherly concern for Peter's safety during the battle against Apocalypse because Charles anxiously utters the young mutant's name when he's able to sense through his telepathy that Maximoff [[spoiler:has been seriously injured]]. They are the only two mutants who manage to land a few direct punches on Apocalypse--Quicksilver does this in the physical world, and Xavier does this on the astral plane, [[spoiler:although Apocalypse gets the upper hand on both of them]], and they are both examples of BreakTheCutie. |
| 320 | * FragileSpeedster: He's specifically the GlassCannon variety. In ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', he only has to tap the Pentagon guards lightly with his fingers in BulletTime to cause them to knock themselves unconscious. In ''Film/XMenApocalypse'', he uses his SuperSpeed against En Sabah Nur, and the latter is flying through the air when Quicksilver is punching him. However, Maximoff's great advantage is nullified after [[spoiler:Apocalypse traps his foot into the ground and breaks his leg]]. In the vicious hands of the god-like mutant, Peter is as fragile as a toy. |
| 321 | * FunnyBackgroundEvent: Occurs in ''Film/XMenApocalypse'' where he rescues two kids running down the hallway away from the explosion (right before he kicks the table through the window); immediately after he kicks down the door, he throws a few completely unnecessary punches and assumes a fighting stance. |
| 322 | * TheGadfly: While hosting guests or defeating enemies, he loves to annoy them during his [[FlashStep bursts of super speed]]. |
| 323 | * GadgeteerGenius: He mods a {{VideoGame/Pong}} arcade cabinet to run significantly faster than normal. |
| 324 | * GeneHunting: He seeks out his estranged father Magneto in ''Film/XMenApocalypse'', [[spoiler:but Peter chooses not to disclose to Erik that they're related]]. |
| 325 | * GenkiGuy: Because of his accelerated perception of time, Quicksilver seems to get bored easily. Xavier calls him a pain in the ass because he refuses to stay still, running circles around his guests and generally amusing himself at their expense. |
| 326 | * TheGhost: He and Logan are already acquainted by 2023 but he is never shown outside of the past timeline.[[note]]He appears in ''Film/Deadpool2'' but only in a BreakingTheFourthWall throwaway gag[[/note]] |
| 327 | * GlassCannon: So fast that time effectively stands still for him when he's moving, and hits with the kind of force that you'd expect from something moving at those high speeds. This is part of why he [[StoryBreakerPower tends to be left out of fight scenes in these movies]]. [[spoiler: In ''Apocalypse'', he does better than anyone else in a straight up fight with the titular BigBad, landing significant physical blows on him... until En Sabah Nur traps one of his legs in the ground and breaks the other one, instantly taking him out of the battle.]] |
| 328 | * HellBentForLeather: |
| 329 | ** ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'': He's fond of his silver leather jacket. |
| 330 | ** ''Film/XMenApocalypse'': He sports silver leather pants and a silver leather jacket with black sections. |
| 331 | * HidingYourHeritage: ImpliedTrope; Simon Kinberg claimed [[https://hiddleloki.tumblr.com/post/645459930104659968/does-this-mean-peters-name-is-actually-pietro in an interview]] that Peter himself chose to use the americanized version of his name. Given that he grew up [[RedScare in the 60's, it's not hard to see why.]] |
| 332 | * IconicSequelCharacter: He debuted in the seventh entry of the film series but is nonetheless one of its popular and recognizable character. |
| 333 | * ImpossibleThief: His super speed allows him to pull off impossible thefts. |
| 334 | * ItAmusedMe: He helps the team in ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'' just because he'll get to break into the most secure prison on Earth. |
| 335 | * KleptomaniacHero: He frequently shoplifts behind his mother's back along with a lot of other hijinks, such as breaking into the Pentagon to spring Erik. |
| 336 | * LargeHam: It's PlayedForLaughs in ''Film/XMenApocalypse'' when he's exasperated from being interrogated by Stryker on a subject he knows absolutely nothing about: "WE DON'T KNOW, BRO!!" |
| 337 | * LikesOlderWomen: Downplayed in ''Film/XMenApocalypse'' since nothing happens between them, but he does consider Moira to be a beautiful woman, and she's approximately 23 years his senior. |
| 338 | * LogicalWeakness: How do you stop an extremely fast person like Quicksilver? [[spoiler:Trap his foot and/or break his leg. Apocalypse figured that out.]] |
| 339 | * LukeYouAreMyFather: Played with in ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'' ("You control metal? My mom once knew a guy who could do that."). Then subverted in ''Film/XMenApocalypse''. His entire motivation is to meet Magneto and tell the older mutant that he's his son. [[spoiler:After seeing that Magneto is still grieving for his family, he decides to postpone TheReveal for a while.]] |
| 340 | * ManChild: At the age of 27, he still isn't an independent adult in ''Film/XMenApocalypse'' because he continues to reside in his mother's basement, although his living space is a lot less cluttered than it was in ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', which implies that his kleptomania has toned down in the past decade. He cracks a joke about his mother wanting him to get out of the house, and Peter [[https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x49dygo acknowledges]] his BasementDweller status on the jet ride to Cairo. In general, he fits in much better with the adolescent X-Men than with the older characters. |
| 341 | * MotorMouth: Talks almost as fast as he does everything else. And good luck shutting him up. |
| 342 | * MundaneUtility: He uses his super speed to play ping pong with himself. |
| 343 | * MysticalWhiteHair: This super-fast mutant has ''silver'' hair. |
| 344 | * NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Inflicts one on Apocalypse during the climax by running past him, punching him, doing a FlashStep to wherever Apocalypse is going to land and punching him again. [[spoiler:Apocalypse gets past this by [[BrokeYourArmPunchingOutCthulhu trapping his foot and breaking his leg]].]] |
| 345 | * NoRespectGuy: He's saved the lives of more than 50 people over the course of the movies he's been in, and the only one who ever thanked him for it was [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Logan, of all people]]. |
| 346 | * PetTheDog: When he evacuates the students and staff of the academy in ''Film/XMenApocalypse'', he manages to save a few goldfish and a French bulldog from the explosion (well, after he grabs the remaining pizza the dog was munching on). |
| 347 | * PluckyComicRelief: He is a source of comedy in ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'' and ''Film/XMenApocalypse'', where his SuperSpeed antics bewilder the other, more serious characters. |
| 348 | * PowerPerversionPotential: In ''Film/XMenApocalypse'', his flirtation with Moira in BulletTime is so brief that she doesn't even know it happened! Quicksilver also employs his SuperSpeed in [[http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x4euik8 this commercial]] and attempts to impress a young woman so that he can earn a date with her. |
| 349 | * PrettyBoy: |
| 350 | ** ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'': He's baby-faced with reddish lips and cute in an impish way. It's a visual cue to the audience that he's an immature prankster who doesn't take life seriously. |
| 351 | ** ''Film/XMenApocalypse'': He's affirmed to be Magneto's son, so Peter's softer, delicate features juxtapose his father's VillainousCheekbones. Quicksilver fights for the heroic team, and Magneto sides with the BigBad. Maximoff's puckish looks also mark him as a ManChild and a BasementDweller. During his confrontation with Apocalypse, Quicksilver moves gracefully as a FragileSpeedster, and once Apocalypse takes away his SuperSpeed advantage, Peter is wholly defenseless. Because Maximoff's face exudes an aura of innocence, it evokes the imagery of a "lamb to the slaughter" when [[spoiler:Apocalypse offers his bare neck to Psylocke for execution]]. |
| 352 | * ReformedCriminal: Peter is introduced as a juvenile thief, but being acquainted to the X-Men changes him for the better. |
| 353 | * RefugeInAudacity: Blatantly uses his super speed when he first meets Wolverine, Professor X and Beast because he knows no one would believe what they said about him. It's implied this is how he gets away with everything he does. |
| 354 | * RequiredSecondaryPowers: |
| 355 | ** He has no problems moving at super-speeds himself (in fact, he's most comfortable that way as everything around him moves too slowly). However, when he runs Magneto past a hallway full of guards during their escape from the Pentagon, he specifically supports Erik's head and neck to protect him from whiplash during the sudden acceleration. After they reach their destination, Erik is visibly nauseous, and the guards were knocked head-over-heels just by the force of him running past him. Though by ''Apocalypse'', he can safely transport people without bracing them. |
| 356 | ** His reflexes are similarly fast because otherwise he'd run into things. |
| 357 | ** He wears goggles because otherwise he wouldn't be able to see during super speed, and any stray speck of dust or debris could hurt his eyes hitting at those speeds. |
| 358 | * TheSpeedster: He is far and away the fastest character in the SharedUniverse and notably [[AdaptationalBadass faster than his usual portrayal]], which puts him more at levels of ComicBook/TheFlash. Every one of his appearances has his speed ending up as a StoryBreakerPower where he completely turns the tides of any battle he is in, as well as one of the only mutants capable of taking on [[PhysicalGod Apocalypse]]. |
| 359 | * StickyFingers: His basement is full of stolen goods such as several [=TVs=], a Pong arcade machine and an entire shelf of junk food. When Wolverine and co show up at his mom's door, she assumes they're cops and offers to cut a check for whatever he stole. |
| 360 | * StoryBreakerPower: |
| 361 | ** ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'': He is PutOnABus after the Pentagon raid because, as that raid shows, he is ''downright unstoppable''. While moving at SuperSpeed, simply tapping a person is the practical equivalent of getting hit by a heavyweight boxer, and he can take out an entire room of armed guards so quickly that their bullets weren't even able to reach the people they had shot at when he started. |
| 362 | ** ''Film/XMenApocalypse'': He wastes no time in using this story-breaker of a power again to rescue and entire building full of people. For most of the final battle he's off [[spoiler:trying to talk down Magneto]], and when he does finally join in it's against [[spoiler:Apocalypse himself, who also possesses StoryBreakerPower and manages to subdue Quicksilver, although Quicksilver still gives him an impressive beating before he's stopped.]] |
| 363 | * SuperSpeed: To the point where attempts to calculate his speed result in "way north of ''Mach 100''" as a low end. |
| 364 | ** ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'': He has one scene where he does a TimeStop while Jim Croce's "Time in a Bottle" plays. In the time it takes bullets to cross 1/3 of a room, he has time to position all the guards to knock themselves out, steal one guy's hat, give another a wedgie, do a lap around the room, and taste a nearby food dish before redirecting the bullets. |
| 365 | ** ''Film/XMenApocalypse'': He saves ''all'' [[spoiler:of Xavier's students and teachers, plus a goldfish and a bulldog, and eats nearly an entire pizza]] before the school explodes. Said explosion had just started when he arrived outside the building. That's dozens of people saved in ''a fraction of a second''. He's ''that'' fast. [[spoiler:But apparently not fast enough to save Havok, who was at ground zero when the school blew up.]] |
| 366 | * SweetTooth: |
| 367 | ** ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'': He is seen eating an orange Popsicle, and the basement of his house is stacked with boxes of snack cakes, presumably so he can quickly replenish the vast amounts of calories he burns through. During the Pentagon raid, he takes a moment to taste a sauce that was flung airborne by Magneto. |
| 368 | ** ''Film/XMenApocalypse'': He's eating a Twinkie when he arrives at the X-Mansion, and during his rescue of Xavier's students, he takes a sip from a floating (from his BulletTime perspective) soft drink before leaving the can in mid-air again. He also chews bubblegum. |
| 369 | * TeamMemberInTheAdaptation: While he was a member of sister team X-Factor, Quicksilver in the comics was never an X-Man proper and in fact, the majority of the character's time as a superhero in the comics was a member of the ComicBook/TheAvengers. |
| 370 | %% * TricksterArchetype |
| 371 | * TheUnreveal: Due to [[TwentyMinutesIntoThePast the nature]] of the films he appeared in, he is never seen in the film series' present timeline (bar a brief cameo in ''Deadpool 2''). |
| 372 | * VanityIsFeminine: He checks his hair and teeth in the mirror of [[http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x4euik8 this commercial,]] and he's a ManChild in ''Film/XMenApocalypse''. When Creator/EvanPeters was asked in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EjjUuytaTZo this interview]] to describe his character in only three words, the actor replied, "Fast, cheeky, stylish," so preening is important to Quicksilver. |
| 373 | * WhiteHairBlackHeart: Downplayed; while he is fond of breaking the law, he's not a jerk like in the comics. |
| 374 | * WithGreatPowerComesGreatPerks: He uses his super-speed for shits, giggles, and petty larceny. |

| 387 | A teleporting, Catholic mutant who looks like a blue-skinned devil. After fleeing from East Berlin, he becomes a student at Xavier's school and a member of the X-Men in the AlternateTimeline. |
| 388 | |
| 389 | -> For tropes applying to Nightcrawler in the original timeline erased by ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', see the [[Characters/XMenFilmSeriesXMenOriginalTimeline X-Men (Original Timeline)]] page. |
| 390 | ---- |
| 391 | * EightiesHair: In 1983, his bangs come straight from Music/AFlockOfSeagulls. |
| 392 | * AdaptationalAngstDowngrade: In comparison to his counterpart in the Original Timeline, meeting the X-Men when he was a teenager seemed to have prevented the same level of issues he had as an adult leaving him much happier. |
| 393 | * AdaptationalRelationshipOverhaul: Unlike in the comics and the Original Timeline, he meets the X-Men as a teenager and befriends a young Scott, Jean and Jubilee. |
| 394 | * AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Blue. |
| 395 | * ApologeticAttacker: Apologizes for burning Angel's right wing in the East Berlin fight club in ''Film/XMenApocalypse''. |
| 396 | * BadassAdorable: His adolescent self in ''Film/XMenApocalypse.'' |
| 397 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: He doesn't want to fight at the East Berlin cage match, but when he's forced to, he wipes the floor with Angel (who is a BloodKnight and a multiple victor). Kurt then apologizes profusely. |
| 398 | ** In ''Film/DarkPhoenix'' he [[spoiler: goes positivly beserk when a guard on the train is killed by the alien villians.]] |
| 399 | * TheBusCameBack: After a 13-year-long absence from the silver screen, we finally see him again in ''Film/XMenApocalypse''. |
| 400 | * CharacterDevelopment: Kodi Smit-[=McPhee=] elaborates on his [[http://www.joblo.com/movie-news/meet-the-x-men-apocalypse-cast-storm-magneto-cyclops-psylocke-more-943 character's journey]] in ''Film/XMenApocalypse''. |
| 401 | -->"Nightcrawler, he's kind of scared of his own shadow at this point, so he's probably pretty terrified. Through everything he does in this movie it's kind of, as we say, the stepping-stones of becoming the brave hero he is." |
| 402 | * CircusBrat: In the AlternateTimeline, he leaves the circus when he's still a teenager. |
| 403 | * CoveredInScars: He is covered, from his pointy ears to all four of his toes, in rather artistic-looking raised scars. While they were self-inflected in the original timeline that was erased by ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', it is unclear whether or not the scars are so in this timeline. The (even more depressing) alternative is that someone else gave him the scars, and at at quite a young age at that, because they don't seem to be fresh. |
| 404 | * DarkIsNotEvil: As the description states, he looks like a dark blue demon, but is strongly religious and helps the good guys. |
| 405 | * DistressedDude: In ''Film/XMenApocalypse'', he's rescued by Raven when he's at the East Berlin cage match. |
| 406 | * FightClubbing: He's forced to participate in this in ''Film/XMenApocalypse'' after being abducted by the organizers of the East Berlin venue. |
| 407 | * FunnyForeigner: His culture shock is played for laughs in ''Film/XMenApocalypse''. Even moreso in the deleted scenes. |
| 408 | * HellBentForLeather: His ''Music/{{Thriller}}'' jacket is made out of red leather. |
| 409 | * HeroWorshipper: In ''Film/XMenApocalypse'', he sees Mystique as a figure of legend (like many other mutants), and is understandably surprised and pleased when she comes to rescue him. |
| 410 | * IWasQuiteALooker: Not that he was exactly ''bad'' looking as an adult, but he was an elfin [[PrettyBoy cutie pie]] during his adolescence. |
| 411 | * LightningBruiser: Even faster as he teleports. |
| 412 | * TheMagnificent: The Incredible Nightcrawler. He hasn't particularly let it go to his head, possibly because he gained the title as a circus acrobat, but he'll still drop it in occasionally. |
| 413 | * MomentKiller: In true EndearinglyDorky fashion, he breaks up Mystique's and Beast's reunion as they both talk about how they're not blue anymore. He also interrupts an emotionally intimate moment between Charles and Moira. |
| 414 | * NiceGuy: He's a kind-hearted person who's always polite to others. |
| 415 | * PluckyComicRelief: He provides some of the more amusing moments in ''Film/XMenApocalypse'' due to the fact that he's a dorky weirdo with NoSocialSkills. |
| 416 | * PrehensileTail: Reptile-like tail, though it's rarely used for grabbing someone (unlike, say, Azazel). |
| 417 | * PrettyBoy: Although he falls more on the "cute" side in ''Film/XMenApocalypse'', he is extremely attractive with his elfin features (particularly larger, more prominent ears) which are further enhanced by his adolescent development. They reflect his personality, and even with the scars on his face, the impression Nightcrawler leaves on viewers is that he's a lovely blue elf rather than a freaky blue demon. |
| 418 | * PurpleIsPowerful: The wormhole produced by his teleportation ability is a luminous purple. |
| 419 | * ReligiousBruiser: Downplayed in ''Film/XMenApocalypse'', as he is less overtly religious, but is shown praying [[spoiler:for Alex's soul when he, Scott and Jean have stowed away on Stryker's helicopter.]] |
| 420 | * SelfHarm: Implicitly where all those scars came from. |
| 421 | * SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: The BadassAdorable Sensitive Guy to Scott's Manly Man. |
| 422 | * TechnicolorEyes: His irises are yellow and rimmed with red. |
| 423 | * TeleportSpam: His duel with Archangel is an impressive display of his [[PerfectlyCromulentWord teleportmanship]]. |
| 424 | * UnrelatedInTheAdaptation: No biological connection is made to Mystique, who rescues him in ''Apocalypse'', or Azazel, a mutant with a similar appearance and powerset who appeared in ''First Class''. In the comics at the time these films were released (before a much later {{retcon}} established that Azazel and Kurt weren't related after all), Mystique and Azazel were the parents of Nightcrawler. In the non-canon ''VideoGame/XMenOriginsWolverine'' video game adaptation it was instead suggested that his parents were Mystique and [[RelatedInTheAdaptation John Wraith]], while in an outtake for ''Film/XMenApocalypse'' Creator/JenniferLawrence would claim Nightcrawler is the son of Mystique and Azazel. |

| 434 | A student at Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters who can generate colorful energy bursts. |
| 435 | ---- |
| 436 | * AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: Downplayed. Jubilee's comic book counterpart ''technically'' first appeared 1989, but she didn't join the X-Men until UsefulNotes/TheNineties, and is more associated as being from that decade than UsefulNotes/TheEighties. |
| 437 | * AdvertisedExtra: She gets the same amount of promotion as the other new mutants at Xavier Institute in ''Film/XMenApocalypse'', but has the least role among them; in particular, she [[spoiler:gets left behind by Stryker in the destroyed Xavier Mansion and thus doesn't participate in the fight against Apocalypse (while Jean, Cyclops, and Nightcrawler do).]] And no, she doesn't have time to show off her powers, either. This is, however, still larger than her roles in any of the original timeline's films, where all she had were cameos. |
| 438 | ** Pun may not be intended, but she's the main spokeperson in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_kniQrk9jw0 this]] parodied [[StylisticSuck cheesy]] ''advertisement'' of Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters. |
| 439 | ** She does get a chance to show off her powers in a deleted scene, where she manipulates an arcade machine to allow Scott and Jean to play the arcade game again. |
| 440 | * TheFashionista: She is this, according to [[http://40.media.tumblr.com/b576c8fb34a28f5372039557004c5a1f/tumblr_nrl9qdG1v61sb6kg7o1_1280.jpg this magazine scan]]. |

| 472 | |
| 473 | A student at the Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters who is under the tutelage of X-Men veteran Colossus. |
| 474 | ---- |
| 475 | * ActionGirl: She winds up being the one [[spoiler:to deliver the defeating blow to Angel Dust]]. |
| 476 | * AdaptationalAttractiveness: She is prettier in the movie-verse than in the comics; the latter is slightly creepy-looking. Even more so in the sequel where she has longer (but still short), more styled hair, with fewer piercings, and is generally more glamorous looking. |
| 477 | * AdaptationalBadass: In the comics, her bombastic codename and her comparatively lame powers basically made her a joke of a character. In the ''Deadpool'' movie, she is capable of generating controlled, small-scale thermal explosions of great power, from strong enough to blast away a truck a couple dozen yards with great force, to powerful enough to knock over the remains of [[WritingAroundTrademarks what is definitely not a helicarrier]] in a scrapyard. |
| 478 | * AdaptationalSexuality: While Negasonic's sexuality hasn't been brought up in the comics, the presence of posters of hunky boys (and Tony Stark) on one of her bedroom walls indicates that she might be straight. Her relationship with Yukio in the ''Film/Deadpool2'' implies that she is gay, or at the very least, bisexual. |
| 479 | * AdaptationalSuperpowerChange: In the comics, she's psychic. Here, her powers involve creating explosions. |
| 480 | * AloofDarkHairedGirl: Even listed in the opening credits as "A Moody Teen." |
| 481 | * AwesomeMcCoolName: Deadpool thinks "Negasonic Teenage Warhead" is the coolest superhero name ever. He casually asks if she'll trade names with him while he brutalizes [[spoiler:Francis]] on the freeway. In fact, she was chosen to appear for this very reason, despite the obscurity and huge departure from the comics character. |
| 482 | * BadassLongcoat: Her comment over the X-Men wearing "matching unitards" may have something to do with her covering it with a cooler looking longcoat. |
| 483 | * BoyishShortHair: She sports a mid-length cut as a visual cue to the audience that her character is not a girly girl (and because it might be the only way she can have hair at all without it constantly catching fire). Lampshaded by Deadpool, who makes a Music/SineadOConnor joke about it. Her hair is long and no longer a buzz cut in the sequel, but still short. |
| 484 | * ButchLesbian: She is revealed in ''Deadpool 2'' to have a girlfriend who is [[LipstickLesbian much girlier]] than her to boot, which makes her this trope both here and retroactively in the first movie. |
| 485 | * ClothingDamage: Using her powers actually burns up her clothes. Fortunately, she usually wears her X-Men uniform underneath, which is [[MySuitIsAlsoSuper resistant to her powers]]. |
| 486 | * CivvieSpandex: A leather jacket and a scarf over her actual uniform. |
| 487 | * ColorCodedCharacters: Black must be her favourite because that's the only colour she wears when she's not in her X-Men uniform. |
| 488 | * ComicallyMissingThePoint: In ''Deadpool 2'', she takes offense at Wade expressing indignity at the fact that she has a girlfriend. Wade is quick to point out that it's not out of homophobia, but rather that he's surprised that someone as annoying as her would land any romantic partner. |
| 489 | * CompositeCharacter: Instead of having telepathy like she does in the comics, she has propulsive energy powers like those of Cannonball, the character who held her role in previous drafts of the script. Plus some concussive uses; she crawls under a piece of scrap metal, yells at Deadpool to climb on top of it, then explodes while standing still, blasting it about a hundred feet into the air to fling Deadpool onto the flight deck of the remains of [[WritingAroundTrademarks what is definitely not a helicarrier]]. |
| 490 | * DarkIsNotEvil: She may wear all black, but she's a hero nonetheless. |
| 491 | * DeadpanSnarker: An interesting example as a lot of her snark is [[SilentSnarker expressive instead of verbal]], but she is capable of snarking verbally when she wants. |
| 492 | * DemotedToExtra: She has much less presence in ''Deadpool 2''. |
| 493 | * EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: She is fond of goth-style make-up, which creates a greater contrast between her fair skin and dark brown hair. |
| 494 | * EmoTeen: As Deadpool frequently claims. If anything, she seems closer to Goth. |
| 495 | -->'''Warhead:''' ''[to Colossus]'' Can we go?\ |
| 496 | '''Deadpool:''' ''[mocking]'' Look! I'm a teenage girl! I'd rather be anywhere than here! I'm all about long, sullen silences, followed by mean comments, followed by more silences. So what's it gonna be? [[ArmorPiercingQuestion Long, sullen silence or mean comment?]]\ |
| 497 | '''Warhead:''' ''[beat]'' You've got me in a box here. |

| 499 | * GracefulLoser: When Deadpool accuses her of only being able to communicate in [[SilentSnarker sullen silences]] or mean comments, she pauses for a moment and casually admits, [[{{Touche}} "You've got me in a box here."]] Surprisingly, she actually gets ''out'' of this box by conceding to Deadpool, as her remark is neither sullen silence nor a mean comment. |
| 500 | * HavingABlast: Her powers make her a human bomb. She doesn't fly so much as explodes herself upwards or forwards. She can also generate a stationary blast; she does one in front a pile of metal scrap and it's sent flying into a pair of mercenaries, crushing them to death. |
| 501 | * HellBentForLeather: She is usually seen in a black leather jacket or long coat. [[spoiler:This burns off when she uses her powers for the first time onscreen, revealing a more traditional X-Men uniform underneath]]. |
| 502 | * HiddenDepths: She's more fond of Deadpool than she lets on, to the point that they are VitriolicBestFriends. |
| 503 | * KnightInSourArmor: Sullen and grumpy she may be, but never doubt that she's a genuine hero. |
| 504 | * MyGodWhatHaveIDone: At the end of ''Film/{{Deadpool 2}}'' when she realizes the implications of [[spoiler: she and Yukio handing over a working TimeTravel device to Deadpool.]] |
| 505 | -->'''Negasonic:''' What have we done? |
| 506 | * MySuitIsAlsoSuper: Unlike the civilian clothes she wears over it, her X-Men uniform is immune to her fiery powers. |
| 507 | * NotSoAboveItAll: She can't resist laughing at Deadpool injuring himself while he's trying to hit Colossus, and when Colossus gets fed up with it and swats Deadpool aside into a car. |
| 508 | * NotSoStoic: In ''Film/Deadpool2'', she takes Wade's jabs at her new haircut somewhat personally, and flinches when she hears them from him. |
| 509 | * OnlySaneMan: Way more level-headed than Deadpool (admittedly not a high bar), and not so HonorBeforeReason as Colossus (also not a high bar). |
| 510 | * PersonOfMassDestruction: Destroys a large part of the scrapyard with her last attack, capsizing the grounded remains of [[WritingAroundTrademarks what is definitely not a helicarrier]] and sending Angel Dust bouncing around like a pinball. |
| 511 | * PintSizedPowerhouse: Tiny compared to Deadpool and especially Colossus, but her powers have her pack one hell of a wallop. |
| 512 | * QueerEstablishingMoment: We find out Negasonic Teenage Warhead's a lesbian in ''Deadpool 2'' when she introduces Yukio as her girlfriend, and accuses Deadpool of being homophobic when he reacts in surprise (though he quickly says he's just surprised ''anyone'' would be willing to date her). |
| 513 | * SkewedPriorities: Insists on finishing her tweet before charging Angel Dust, even after seeing the latter [[FantasticallyIndifferent punch out Colossus just seconds ago.]] |
| 514 | * SnarkToSnarkCombat: With Deadpool, as they mutually enjoy throwing jabs at each other. |
| 515 | * TheStoic: Fills this role for the hero side. She has one NotSoStoic moment when Deadpool makes a fool of himself trying to attack Colossus and she gets a kick out of his AmusingInjuries. |
| 516 | * TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The tomboy to Yukio's girly girl in ''Deadpool 2'' given that she is more masculine in both the way she dresses and the way she acts. |
| 517 | * WhenSheSmiles: When Deadpool's antics actually make her laugh. More specifically, him breaking his own bones trying to harm Colossus before getting smacked into a car. |

| 528 | A Japanese student at the Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters and the girlfriend of Negasonic Teenage Warhead. |
| 529 | |
| 530 | -> For tropes applying to Yukio in the original timeline erased by ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', see the [[Characters/XMenFilmSeriesOtherMutantsOriginalTimeline Other Mutants (Original Timeline)]] page. |
| 531 | ---- |
| 532 | * AdaptationSpeciesChange: While her powers are different from what she had in ''Film/TheWolverine'', she's once again a mutant instead of a human as in the comics. |
| 533 | * AdaptationalHeroism: Yukio from the comics has always been more of an anti-hero, and ''definitely'' not a team player for the X-Men. Here, she's a full-fledged member. |
| 534 | * AdaptationalSuperpowerChange: In ''Film/TheWolverine'', she can see into the future. Here, she has electrical abilities. |
| 535 | * AgeLift: In the comics and original timeline, she was an adult in the present. Here, she's a teen. |
| 536 | * BadassAdorable: She's cute as a button, and she fights with an electrified chain. |
| 537 | * ChainPain: She wields a chain that she can electrify with her powers. |
| 538 | * CharacterCatchphrase: "Hi/Bye, Wade!" |
| 539 | * ComicBookMoviesDontUseCodenames: She doesn't have a superheroic alias, unlike the other Xavier School students. She just goes by "Yukio". |
| 540 | * CompositeCharacter: While she's called Yukio here, she looks (and fights) more like [[ComicBook/NewXMenAcademyX Surge]]. |
| 541 | * CutenessProximity: She's so nice and cute that Deadpool's reaction to her presence borders on {{Squee}} whenever he meets and greets her. |
| 542 | * TheCutie: She's very sweet, and her first scene shows her affectionately leaning into Negasonic. Makes sense as her actress is an idol in Japan, where it is literally ''their job'' to be cute. |
| 543 | * GenkiGirl: She is ever-so cheerful, even when she's around Deadpool (to the point that when they first met, Wade compares her to [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Pinkie Pie]]), and he returns in kind. The only time this breaks is when [[spoiler:Deadpool is dying]] and [[spoiler:both she and Negasonic realize just ''who'' they gave the fixed time traveling device to]]. |
| 544 | * LipstickLesbian: Compared to the ButchLesbian Negasonic, she's girlier. |
| 545 | * MovieSuperheroesWearBlack: She dresses entirely in black. |
| 546 | * MrFixit: She helps repair [[spoiler:Cable's TimeTravel device... then Deadpool grabs it and makes some personal use of it.]] |
| 547 | * MyGodWhatHaveIDone: A mild version. [[spoiler: After handing over the fixed time travel device Cable used to Deadpool, her face falls as she mentions to Ellie how that was a bad idea.]] |
| 548 | * NiceGirl: Almost never seen without a smile on her face. She always gives Deadpool a cheery "Hi, Wade!" whenever he stops by the X-Mansion. |
| 549 | * OppositesAttract: Perky and sweet, as opposed to her girlfriend's more sardonic and prickly personality. |
| 550 | * PerkyGoth: As a counterpart to Negasonic’s gloomier personality, her outfit has blacks and purple but she is much more cheerful. |
| 551 | * PhraseCatcher: "Hi/Bye, Yukio!" |
| 552 | * PurpleIsPowerful: She has purple hair when in her hero costume, and kicks some serious ass in the climax. |
| 553 | * RoseHairedSweetie: Has bright pink hair when in her civilian outfit to match her bright and cheery disposition. |
| 554 | * SatelliteLoveInterest: We never really learn anything about her, other than that she's Negasonic's new girlfriend. |
| 555 | * ShockAndAwe: She has electrical powers. |
| 556 | * TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The girly girl to Negasonic Teenage Warhead's tomboy, given her longer and pinker hair, and the more cheerful and sweet way she acts. |
| 557 | * TwoferTokenMinority: She's a Japanese lesbian. And a mutant, so [[FantasticRacism technically]] threefer. |

| 568 | |
| 569 | A mutant who can transform his body into living steel, granting superhuman strength and a resistance to damage and temperature. |
| 570 | |
| 571 | -> For tropes applying to Colossus in the original timeline erased by ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'', see the [[Characters/XMenFilmSeriesXMenOriginalTimeline X-Men (Original Timeline)]] page. |
| 572 | ---- |
| 573 | * TwentyFourHourArmor: Even though he should be able to turn his powers off, he never does so in the ''Deadpool'' films, even while doing something as mundane as eating breakfast (which, of course, just makes that funnier). |
| 574 | * AdaptationPersonalityChange: In the original timeline, he was a quiet, professional and occasionally snarky guy who was typically competent in everything required by circumstances. This version, however, is much more pompous, talkative and idealistic, bordering on HolierThanThou at times, and isn't much for snark as much as long-winded speeches about heroism. |
| 575 | * AdaptationalWimp: In the comics, Colossus is damn near unstoppable when he wants to be. [[note]]It takes someone like the [[ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk Hulk]] in his most powerful "Green Scar" form to beat him, though at the time he had the power of Cyttorak and thus the power of the Juggernaut.[[/note]] |
| 576 | ** In ''Film/{{Deadpool|2016}}'', Angel Dust (herself an AdaptationalBadass), is able to take him on in a fight that ''isn't'' hilariously one-sided. Late in their fight, she starts choking Colossus out with a steel cable. In the comics, Colossus doesn't need to breathe in his armored form at all, at least for a few minutes at a time. However, when he really give it his all, he thrashes Angel ''far'' worse than she does him, and at the end of the fight is no worse for wear, so his difficulty fighting her may be less related to being weaker in this incarnation and more related to misguided chivalry and a reluctance to kill. |
| 577 | ** In the second movie, he mostly dispels this notion by being the only one able to so much as face [[spoiler:the Juggernaut]] in direct combat. He is clearly outmatched and it takes him some trickery and assistance from allies to actually defeat him, but he manages to stand his ground for quite some time and overall, when it takes [[spoiler:The Juggernaut]] to ''mildly'' outclass you in terms of raw power, you're still in a pretty good spot, all things considered. |
| 578 | * BadassAdorable: A metallic musclebound sweetheart who can smash through tanks, but is kind, polite and ''so'' respectful towards women that he allows female enemies time to re-cover accidentally exposed breasts ''in mid battle.'' Even Angel Dust, said villainess, found this to be genuinely endearing. |
| 579 | * BallsOfSteel: Quite literally. Deadpool tries to do a GroinAttack on him and fails horribly. [[spoiler:Angel Dust]] is ''much'' more successful in her attempt. |
| 580 | -->'''Deadpool:''' [[LampshadeHanging Your poor wife]]! |
| 581 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: Just because he has a big moral compass does ''not'' mean that he can't be pushed to his limits. [[AntiHero Wade]] and [[FemmeFatale Angel Dust]] had learned this several times, and don’t even get started on [[spoiler:the Juggernaut]]. |
| 582 | * BigBrotherMentor: He's trying to mentor Negasonic Teenage Warhead. Also tries to be one to Deadpool, who he considers a rowdy, misguided, heavily armed child. |
| 583 | * BoisterousBruiser: He occasionally acts like this, though a less LargeHam example than most. This is best seen when he's talking to Warhead at the Mansion. |
| 584 | * ButtMonkey: Despite being a towering hunk of walking metal, Colossus repeatedly gets humiliated and disrespected by Deadpool and Angel Dust. |
| 585 | * TheCape: He's a total boy scout when it comes to morality and manners. He's in fact the only character with a significant amount of screen time and lines in the entire film who makes a point of ''not'' cursing. |
| 586 | * ChasteHero: Absolutely fine with ''hitting'' a woman (once it's established that she can take an extreme amount of punishment), but instantly covers his eyes in shame when she has a WardrobeMalfunction in the middle of the fight. |
| 587 | * ChromeChampion: A behemoth of a man with steel skin. |
| 588 | * CombatPragmatist: He learnt his lesson after the first movie. He normally wouldn’t fight dirty, but considering his opponent in Deadpool 2 is ''[[spoiler:the motherfucking Juggernaut]]'', he has no choice but to do so. He gets overpowered but is able to do quite well for a while by regularly cracking [[spoiler: Juggy]] in the nuts and comboing him after coupled with breaking fingers. He then defeats a tripped-up [[spoiler:Juggernaut]] by pantsing him and sticking a live wire up his ass. Deadpool even encourages him to fight dirty to defeat him before the big fight. |
| 589 | * TheComicallySerious: He's a total boyscout when it comes to morality and manners. ''Of course'' he repeatedly gets humiliated and disrespected by Deadpool, Negasonic Teenage Warhead, and Angel Dust. |
| 590 | * DeadpanSnarker: He is not impressed by Wade's attempts to injure him. |
| 591 | -->'''Colossus:''' This is embarrassing. |
| 592 | * {{Determinator}}: He's determined to make Deadpool join the X-Men, and ''won't'' take no for an answer. Even if he has to handcuff Wade and ''drag'' him back to Xavier after Wade's [[WinsByDoingAbsolutelyNothing broken every bone in his body trying to fight him]]. |
| 593 | * DistractedByTheSexy: Angel Dust takes advantage of him trying to avoid looking at her exposed breast when they fight. |
| 594 | * EveryoneHasStandards: [[spoiler: When Angel Dust has a wardrobe malfunction during their fight, Colossus covers his eyes and avoids embarrassing her by gesturing that she covers up. While Angel appreciates the gesture and calls it sweet, it doesn't stop her from taking a cheap shot by punching him in his testicles.]] |
| 595 | * {{Foil}}: To Deadpool. Chaste-mouthed, paragon-like gentle giant boy scout X-Man contrasted to Deadpool's foul-mouthed sardonic violent psychotic freelancer. |
| 596 | -->'''Colossus:''' We can't allow this, Deadpool. Please... come quietly.\ |
| 597 | '''Deadpool:''' You big, chrome cock-gobbler!\ |
| 598 | '''Colossus:''' That's not nice. |
| 599 | * TheFarmerAndTheViper: During the fight with Angel Dust he rather politely allows her to fix her top after it partly comes off. She rewards his kindness by [[GroinAttack kicking him in the balls.]] |
| 600 | * GenreRefugee: Colossus acts like a traditional Superhero, delivering uplifting speeches and morals and suggest that Deadpool is better than he thinks he is. In, say, a ''ComicBook/CaptainAmerica'' or ''ComicBook/{{Superman}}''-style movie he would probably be TheHero, but since he is trapped in a ''Deadpool'' movie, he is forced to merely act as a foil to all the insanity around him. |
| 601 | * GentleGiant: He's a towering mountain of organic steel skin, but is a kind and compassionate man who prefers not to resort to violence when he can help it. [[BewareTheNiceOnes But watch your ass if he does.]] |
| 602 | * GoodFeelsGood: He firmly believes this. Though considering the man he tries to recruit (against his will no less) is an example of both GoodIsNotSoft and GoodIsNotNice and tries to make him TurnTheOtherCheek. Yet his ward Negasonic Teenage Warhead and possibly Yukio don't seem to mind killing if they have to. |
| 603 | * GoodIsNotSoft: The lesson he has to learn in ''Deadpool 2'' -- as Deadpool puts it, "sometimes, if you wanna fight for what's right, you gotta fight dirty." Colossus sticks to a hard moral code and is furious when Deadpool kills some of the orphanage orderlies, as he doesn't believe heroes should act as JudgeJuryAndExecutioner; Deadpool counters that they had it coming for what they've done to Russell, and Colossus doesn't exactly refute the claim. Come the end of the film he's accepted that while Deadpool may not be a hero, he ''is'' fundamentally a good person, and comes to help him out when he needs it (and demonstrates some ''very'' decidedly underhanded tactics in his fight with [[spoiler:the Juggernaut]].) |
| 604 | * GoshDangItToHeck: He ''never'' swears, to the point of admonishing Deadpool to [[SkewedPriorities watch his language in the middle of combat.]]. Deadpool makes it his mission in the sequel to get Colossus to say "fuck" just once. [[spoiler:He ''more than succeeds'', as Colossus not only says it for Wade while the former is dying, but later says it (''entirely of his own free will'') when he calls Cain Marko "Fuckernaut". And this is ''after'' Cable saved Deadpool, and thus the original "fuck" Colossus says, never happened (at least, from his perspective).]] |
| 605 | * HomoeroticSubtext: On Deadpool's part, blatantly grabbing Colossus's ass while still in steel form. |
| 606 | * HonorBeforeReason: |
| 607 | ** It doesn't occur to him that graciously stopping to give Angel Dust time to fix her WardrobeMalfunction leaves him wide-open for a counter-attack. He also gets decked for trying to avoid hurting Angel and simply handcuffing her. |
| 608 | ** Subverted in ''Deadpool 2'' where he finally has enough of Deadpool's sociopathy and knocks him out to be sent off to prison. [[spoiler:Double subverted in that he gives Deadpool another chance after being won over by his sincerity and [[ChangedMyMindKid comes to his aid]] against in the climax.]] |
| 609 | * HuskyRusskie: He has a prominent Russian accent this time around. |
| 610 | * HypocriticalHumor: Combined with the fact he doesn't power down in the film, this makes his "being a hero" speech funnier. |
| 611 | -->'''Colossus:''' People think being hero is full-time job. Wake up a hero. Brush your teeth a hero. Not true. |
| 612 | * IfYouKillHimYouWillBeJustLikeHim: He tries to convince Deadpool to be a bigger man than Ajax and spare his life, but [[spoiler:Deadpool just rolls his eyes and shoots Ajax anyway]]. He then tells Colossus that being a hero isn't worth sparing the lives of horrible people and mocks him, saying "not everyone monitors a hall like you". |
| 613 | * ImmuneToBullets: He would have trivialized the fight against Ajax if it weren't for Angel Dust. Whereas Deadpool and Negasonic Teenage Warhead have to take cover, Colossus can just completely ignore gunfire. |
| 614 | * IncorruptiblePurePureness: He [[spoiler:tries to]] saves the villain, is kind to everyone, delivers several "YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre" speeches, cannot stand swearing, and an exposed breast has him instantly covering his eyes. |
| 615 | * KirkSummation: With Professor X himself not around (hiding, as strongly implied in the second film), Colossus takes up the job by telling Deadpool that being a hero doesn't mean being a joyless stick in the mud, and all it takes is recognizing a few opportunities throughout your life to do the right thing. |
| 616 | * ManOfSteelWomanOfKleenex: Deadpool exclaims "Your poor wife!" after breaking his hand punching Colossus' BallsOfSteel. |
| 617 | * MeaningfulName: Derives from the Greek ''Petros'', which means "rock" or "stone". |
| 618 | * MightyGlacier: He's strong enough to overpower Angel Dust when he puts in the effort. Unfortunately, he's as slow as he is strong and she made him pay for it early in their fight. |
| 619 | * ModeLock: Unlike the original timeline, it seems that Colossus can no longer switch to a more human form. Or he can, but just doesn't for whatever reason. |
| 620 | * MotherRussiaMakesYouStrong: |
| 621 | ** Unstoppable in battle and extremely Russian. Also implied to believe strongly in this trope in general. |
| 622 | --->'''Colossus:''' When will [Deadpool] grow up and see benefits of becoming X-Man?\ |
| 623 | '''Negasonic:''' Which benefits? [[DeadpanSnarker The house that blows up every few years?]]\ |
| 624 | '''Colossus:''' [[MiseryBuildsCharacter House blowing up builds character.]] |
| 625 | ** The sequel is more direct. After [[spoiler:dumping Juggernaut into a pool to be electrocuted]] he states, "that's how we do it in Mother Russia". |
| 626 | * NiceGuy: He is easily the most polite character in ''Deadpool'', trying to encourage the title character to become a hero and acting as a ParentalSubstitute to Negasonic Teenage Warhead. Angel Dust responds to his gentlemanly behavior towards her with, "Aww, how sweet." |
| 627 | * NoSell: Deadpool breaks several of his body parts trying to injure him. Colossus doesn't budge. He also withstands Negasonic Teenage Warhead's explosion without taking any damage. |
| 628 | * TheParagon: He tries ''so hard'' to be a properly heroic role model for Wade. |
| 629 | * ParentalSubstitute: While he does act as a BigBrotherMentor to Negasonic Teenage Warhead, Colossus has moments where he behaves more like a father figure to her. |
| 630 | * ThePollyanna: He is optimistic and positive about everything. In his opinion, the fact that the X-Mansion gets destroyed every few years "[[MiseryBuildsCharacter builds character]]." |
| 631 | * RunningGag: Getting [[GroinAttack punched below the belt]] in steel form. Unfortunately, it's always from someone whose SuperStrength is [[TheWorfEffect at least the same level as Colossus's.]] |
| 632 | * SaveTheVillain: Carries both Negasonic Teenage Warhead and [[spoiler:Angel Dust]] away from the [[spoiler:collapsing junkyard ship in the finale]]. He encourages Deadpool to do the same to [[spoiler:Ajax]], but he declines. |
| 633 | * StressVomit: [[spoiler:Once Deadpool shoots Ajax.]] Apparently with the face actor as well, as fake-vomiting is [[http://www.comicbookresources.com/article/deadpools-colossus-facial-actor-reveals-dangers-puking not easy]]. |
| 634 | * SuperStrength: Bats bad guys around like ragdolls, and lobs giant work vehicle tires like skipping stones. |
| 635 | * SuperToughness: Enough that the commensurate SuperStrength and SuperToughness of Angel Dust means that both just [[PaddedSumoGameplay uselessly knock each other around]] for most of their fight. |
| 636 | * SuddenlyVoiced: He ranges from TheQuietOne to having no lines in previous ''X-Men'' movies. Here, he talks quite a lot. |
| 637 | * TruerToTheText: His Soviet origins are more obvious thanks to his Russian accent and his look is closer to the comics than Daniel Cudmore's version of the character. |
| 638 | * WinsByDoingAbsolutelyNothing: Deadpool tries fighting him. [[ChromeChampion Naturally]], Colossus just needs to stay still and do absolutely nothing for the majority of the fight as Deadpool tries attacking him and completely shatters his bones every time he connects a hit. |
| 639 | -->'''Colossus:''' This is embarrassing. Please, stay down. |
| 640 | * TheWorfEffect: Despite being the physically strongest of the X-Men, all of Colossus's appearances involve him mostly going up against opponents who can lay him out flat, and he ends up needing assistance from Negasonic Teenage Warhead and Yukio to defeat them. However, it's not without cause: |
| 641 | ** Downplayed with Angel Dust who sucker punches him only because Colossus tries to first peacefully handcuff her on account that he doesn't like to hit women. Once he wises up, they fight more evenly and she only gets the upper hand because Colossus is [[HonorBeforeReason too much of a gentlemen to let her fight without fixing her wardrobe malfunction.]] |
| 642 | ** Played straight but justified in the sequel because his opponent is [[spoiler:the ''Juggernaut.'']]. Colossus needs help to beat him, but most of the X-Men would need ''a lot'' of help anyway, and the fact he was able to give a decent fight and wasn't dealt a CurbStompBattle highlights Colossus really ''is'' extremely strong: it's just that [[spoiler:the Juggernaut]] is even stronger. |
| 643 | * WouldHitAGirl: He ''prefers'' not hitting women, but when Angel starts pounding on him with SuperStrength, he starts fighting back quickly enough. He does politely stand back and let her fix a wardrobe malfunction at one point, though and [[CombatPragmatist ends up getting a punch below the belt as thanks.]] |
| 644 | * WrongGenreSavvy: He's extremely nice, doesn't swear at all, has principles, and is quite honorable, even towards enemies. And in a standard superhero movie, he'd fit right in, and his TheCape approach would probably function quite well. What keeps tripping him up is that the ''Deadpool'' films are ''not'' regular superhero movies, so the unabashed violence and vulgarity of the setting keeps blindsiding him at every given opportunity. |
| 645 | * YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: He tells Deadpool, whom he wants to make an X-Man, that he has what it takes to be a hero. |
| 646 | * YouNoTakeCandle: Speaks this way to round out the HuskyRusskie stereotype. His first lines see him tell Negasonic Teenage Warhead "We have mission." In the Russian dub of the movie, since everyone speaks Russian and accents would be redundant, he resorts to [[YeOldeButcheredeEnglishe Ye Olde Butchered Russiane]] instead (according to WordOfGod, it is a rural Siberian dialect, which is appropriate considering Colossus's origins), which is no less hilarious. |
